The text deals with the stories of Erica Pedretti that have been published 1984 in an anthology under the title Sonnenaufgänge, Sonnenuntergänge. It is elaborated the theory that the creative process – that the author analyses in these stories – is closely connected with the memory process. The starting point of the investigation remain considerations of Baudelaire to the memories and their functioning not only in the literary text.

In the years 2004 and 2005 a survey was conducted that focused on recording of authentic testimonies about the everyday lives of women in the country predominantly in the second half of the 20th century. Correspondents of the Czech Ethnographical Society, students and female seniors from different parts of the Czech Republic took part in the survey. this report reveals the results including characteristic quotations. The information was obtained from different localities on an uneven basis. There is a compact set of records from four villages in eastern Moravia and four authentic testimonies from Těšín region in the foothills of Beskydy Mountains. The information was either handwritten by the respondents, or their narration was recorded by the Czech Ethnographical Society correspondents, students of Silesian University or by a local chronicler. The outline of the research was available to everyone. We were above all interested in the changes which rural families had to go through in the second half of the 20th century due to collectivization of land and changes in social and economic conditions.

Erica Pedretti, one of the most sophisticated, contemporary writers and artists from Switzerland, shaped by the traumatic memories of the World War II, is focused in her autobiographical writing on the possibility of the ‘mentioning’ of the past. In this way it is possible to obtain images of both, her personal history and the fate of her family, as well as contemporary history. This paper is an attempt to analyze her debut work "Harmloses, bitte" (1970) which returns to the past as a broken thought, fragment and reveals the struggle with the expressing of the painful experiences.

‘Odpominanie’ przeszłości i II wojny światowej w Harmloses, bitte Erici Pedretti Erica Pedretti, jedna z najbardziej znanych współcześnie pisarek, malarek i rzeźbiarek szwajcarskich, ukształtowana przez traumatyczne wspomnienia z II wojny światowej, skupia się w swoim autobiograficznym pisarstwie na możliwości ‘odpominania’ przeszłości. Dzięki temu możliwe staje się uzyskanie wyobrażenia zarówno o jej indywidualnej historii i losie jej rodziny, jak również o historii współczesnej. W niniejszym artykule podjęta zostanie próba przeanalizowania jej debiutanckiego utworu Harmloses, bitte (1970), który powraca do przeszłości jako urywająca się myśl, fragment i ukazuje zmaganie się z niewypowiadalnością bolesnych przeżyć.

I first met Professor Dobrzycki on the day of my final Defence exam for my Master’s thesis. My dissertation focused on the Concept and Activities of In-tegration within the Caribbean Basin, which had apparently caught Professor Do-brzycki’s attention and, because he was the Specialist on Western Hemisphere affairs he functioned as one of the academic reviewers of my work.

The article discusses the reciprocal interpretation of biography and literature. The subject of analysis is the biography of Jan Darowski, a writer associated for many years with the literary group „Kontynenty”. The past evoked in Darowski’s memoirs has a hierarchic structure – apart from the longer time sections constituting the framework for stories, shorter sections appear (e.g. events measured in days, weeks, months), which are complemented by episodes essential for the author. Darowski’s biography shows the tragedy of people who, similarly to the writer, got entangled in history and becomes a proper context for interpreting senses included in his works.

The paper is based on memories of Wladyslaw Chodasiewicz’s wife - Nina Bierbierowa, which are good source for researching of the poetry and the personality of the poet. This source seems to be very different from the professional expressions and opinions of the critics and writers in the emigration (M. Wiszniak, W. Wejdle, G. Struve, M. Ałdanow, W. Nabokow, J. Terapiano and others) Chodasiewicz in the Bierbierowa’s memories is mainly a noble man although with many faults and doubts. In my opinion Bierbieriowa doesn’t understand fully Chodasiewicz’s poetry, his excellence and perfection, beeing concentrated mainly on understanding and knowing herself.

The accounts presented in the following study were taken down after interviews with the Lemko people. The main theme are reminiscences of everyday life, the war and displacement of that ethnic minority. Apart from providing information on events and people they also commemorate verbally the emotional and mental states (feelings, impressions) the protagonists had in the historical moments described. The material has been divided into four parts (according to the topics in the interview schedule). Part 1: “The life in the Lemko homeland before the Second World War” provides scant accounts of their everyday existence in the mountains. Next to the descriptions of family homes there are also memories of human relations at the time (e.g. the story about the market in Grybów, about the village inhabitants). Part 2 refers to the war and occupation. Part 3, the most extensive one (which reflects the significance of the subject) discusses the time of displacement to Ukraine and western Poland. Part 4, the last one, includes descriptions of the tough beginning in a new place, in exile.

Assuming a close connection between memory, style and trauma, the author has focused on auto-description of personal experiences, retrospective thoughts, etc. referring to the difficult/traumatic experiences of an individual present in Grażyna Jagielska’s books (cf. the following titles: Miłość z kamienia. Życie z korespondentem wojennym, Kraków 2013; Anioły jedzą trzy razy dziennie. 147 dni w psychiatryku, Kraków 2014; Ona wraca na dobre. Podróż terapeutyczna, Kraków 2015). The actual analyses of the source material were preceded by an approximation of the genealogy of the trauma, its definition or possible representations, as well as by the discussion of the scientific (including humanistic) evolutions of the interest in critical incidents or their consequences. Moreover, an important point of the considerations was also the question concerning the possibility of a linguistic/discursive approach to the subject issues. As follows from the analytical part of the paper, painful traces of the past are present at various levels of the reviewed (and biographically burdened) texts. The points where the categories mentioned in the sketch title meet are related to the narrative technique, style of expressionand repertoire of symbols used by Grażyna Jagielska, with selected components of the presented world, as well as with the creation of the subject (subjected to unintentional victimisation and aiming to, among other things, explain internal conflicts). Although certain therapeutic values can be assigned to memories, the researcher is of the opinion that the textual updates considered often go beyond this simplified qualification.

Town hall – an archive of memories(Summary) The town hall was an archive of collective memories of the town’s community and individual memories of the townspeople. It was where the most important documents for the municipality were kept, above all the foundation charter, trading privileges, as well as customs exemptions. The most important documents were read out during the annual council nominations. The town’s history thus invoked became an element of the present. Along with the development of a pragmatic approach to recording information, the town hall also became a place where individual memories were safeguarded. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, the municipal authorities sought to have the more important transactions declared before the municipal authorities and confirmed in writing. The town’s books, due to their contents which related to the whole communitatis, as well as individual citizens, were already then perceived as “monumenta of the town’s memories”. In addition to deeds and documents, other symbols and attributes of the town were kept in town halls, including seals, measures and sometimes even the town scales. Old measures, which ceased to be binding, were guarded like the new ones, outdated decrees and resolutions were also part of the town’s legal order. The town hall, and in particular the chancellery, which was usually located therein, served above all as the archive for the memories of the whole municipality and its living inhabitants – those necessary for current purposes and for dealing with current matters. At times the chancellery also served as an archive for historical memories, and was used to constantly build up and strengthen the collective identity of the townspeople.

Commemoration in public space is usually associated with the creation of official objects related to important events or individuals, most often in the form of monuments or plaques. In the paper, the author considers alternative forms of commemoration which, by existing in the social space, invade privacy, taking into account not only artistic activities such as Stolpersteine/Gunter Demnig’s “stumbling stones” but also, for example, candles or flowers at accident sites. So, the author examines non-monumental forms of commemoration and considers the questions related to the reception of these objects, including their penetration into common cultural spaces.

When evaluating German inhabitants memories relating to the 1946 expulsion, the significant criteria are the age and the gender of those participating, which have a crucial influence on the participants´ attitude to the events they experienced. The theme of the memories includes mainly preparations for the expulsion, farewell to home, hardships on the way, circumstances of the arrival, beginnings in a foreign environment, as well as gradual assimilation and improvement in the coexistence with domestic population. Sometimes, the theme includes post-war family re-unification, renewed contacts to friends, and care of mementoes that they brought from the former fatherland with them. The older German emigrants had grievances in relation to the Czechs, which - in the case of some of them - survived until their death. The younger generation, i.e. the expulsed children at that time, shows rather nostalgia, interest in the present-day life in their home towns and villages, and new contacts to their contemporary inhabitants. The expulsion of German fellow citizens was also reflected in experiences and recollections of the Czech residents in the Vyškov area. As to the bearer´s bias and experience, the expulsion was perceived either in a positive way with feelings of satisfaction, or in a negative way with expressions of sorrow and sympathy.

The article deals with the problems of perceiving Russian language by the Poles deported during 1940th to the territory of the present-day Perm region as a result of mass deportations, as well as those arrested for taking part in the so called “anti-Soviet” activities and serving time in the camps of Perm region. While analyzing the texts of exiles’ memories the author comes to the conclusion that the Russian language for those Poles who survived through exposure to the Urals, is in the first place the language of enemy and captivity and serves as an instrument of propaganda and forced Russification. At the same time in some of the exiles’ memories studying of the Russian language is the only way to interact with the culture and literature which makes it easier to endure their spiritual isolation.

The article explores grief as a memory-related emotional response to the loss of loved ones as presented in Octavia Butler’s fantasy novel Fledgling. The article deals with the inability to experience grief due to memory loss and the struggles that come with it. The reasons behind the inability of the main character to experience grief and its meaning are investigated. Two potential explanations are explored: the inability to experience grief as a result of general dissociative amnesia caused by the traumatic experience of witnessing the slaughter of one’s family and being left on the brink of death, and the possibility of the loss of affect induced by overwhelming feelings of loss. The grief over a person of whom the memories are intact is analyzed and contrasted with the lack of grief for the forgotten relatives. The idea of continuing bonds connected with the mourning process is briefly presented and illustrated using examples from Fledgling. The theory of five stages of grief formulated by the psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is briefly introduced. Some of the stages of Kübler-Ross’s theory (denial, anger and acceptance) are illustrated through the analysis of the grief experienced by the main character. The distinct inability to govern or temper the emotional response to death is presented. Grief is also briefly introduced as a possible bonding instrument.

The paper analyses the final phase in the life of of Daša Drndić’s Belladonna’s protagonist. In the last years of his existence, Andreas Ban’s consciousness is dominated by the thoughts about illness and the nearing retirement. Commonly, both these phenomena mark the threshold of an old age. When it comes to this particular character, they amplify the sensation of solitude (initially stemming from the keen sense of criticism that Ban displays) as well as impotence (connected to the disagreement with the existence of asenile and poor life of an aged man to which Ban is doomed). Drndić uses her novel’s protagonist to accuse both the Croatian state and the contemporary civilization of fetishizing youth and beauty, which, in turn, sentences the Other to “non-existence” (in Drndić’s prose, the Other is always anonconformist who, additionally in her latest novel, is in advanced age).

The study deals with narrative representations of the past of the Slovak city of Nová Dubnica that was built on a green-field land in the 1950s as an “exemplary socialist city” to accommodate workers of the engineering plant in Dubnica nad Váhom. While interpreting research data within the theoretical framework of collective memory, the author addresses memories of the first and long-term residents (60 years old and older) who look back on their life in the city in the 1950s−1980s. Based on ethnographic research, it was (1) industrial plant and work, (2) city construction, and (3) family and social life that were identified as major areas of narrative representations. These areas feature similar contents of individual interpretations of the past, and their intersection is formed by themes that can be qualified as the above-mentioned group’s collective memory of the life in Nová Dubnica in the past. Collective memory, as a socially conditioned category, is formed in Nová Dubnica, among other things, by important factors − regular events (celebrations of the foundation of the city, lantern parade) and mutual meetings of seniors. The study is to present Nová Dubnica as a “place of memory”, which shapes the inhabitants’ ideas about the past and which is also formed by local memories of the years of the socialist regime.

In this article we focus on the problem of memory realised in the artistic space of E.G. Vodolazkin’s Aviator. The aim of the study is to analyse memory as a mechanism shaping the novel’s structure. In order to reach this goal, it seems important to explore the structure of the literary text, to understand the meaning of categories of memory and memories, while searching for key ideas of the text. The analysis reveals the significance of the category of memory, emphasising not only the specificity of the novel’s fictional and compositional structure, but also revealing a complex of philosophical ideas and motifs related in particular to understanding the theme of memory as overcoming time (including death) and the issue of spiritual identity formation.
