In the studies on poetry by Joan Brossa, his literary inspirations from the French tradition are indicated, but his connection with Spanish-language literature is almost nonexistent. The purpose of this article is to present Brossa’s testimonies about his Federico García Lorca readings and to compare his “Sonet del pur estrèpit” (1949) with Lorca’s “Muerte” (1931). Both poems show textual and conceptual similarities and share the theme of metamorphosis, so we propose their analysis to look for possible inspirations in different philosophical and aesthetic traditions (surrealism, Ovid, Darwin, Zen Buddhism).

One of the key themes in Silvina Ocampo’s short stories is identity, understood as something that is s constantly being formed, that is changing, that is not necessarily stable. The most radical change in identity is metamorphosis. In the article we duscuss different types of transformation that the characters undergo (into plants, animals, another human being or even an inanimate object) and its meaning. The metamorphosis in Ocampo’s texts is not always unwanted; it can also be a path to freedom.

This paper proposes an innovative approach to the analysis of fiction texts through the combined means of three points of view, viz. FSP, discourse subjects (DSs) and their cohesive chains, and cohesive ties. It explores the theme of metamorphosis of the characters as it appears in all the three examined aspects, and the influence the metamorphosis exerts on them. Three main problems are discussed in the paper. Firstly, it deals with unexpected tokens in the identity chains of the DSs undergoing the metamorphosis and the cohesive ties through which they are incorporated in these cohesive chains. Secondly, it addresses seeming abrupt switches between two thematic progressions which in fact form just one progression. Lastly, the paper discusses the function of the features detected in the texts in relation to the complexity of the idea of metamorphosis.

In this paper, an interweaving of the concepts of metamorphosis, developed by Ulrich Beck, and the scientific thinking style of Ludwik Fleck is suggested. Due to our own relevant preliminary work, it seems obvious to bring these two concepts together for the purpose of a theoretical connection useful for linguistics, especially for discourse linguistics. After a short introduction (1) and a review of the state of research on Fleck’s theory of cognition (2), the core term “metamorphosis” is semantically determined (3), and comments are made on the relevance of the concept. This is followed by an analysis of Beck’s The Metamorphosis of the World, which focuses on the concept of metamorphosis as he sees it (4). Here, the linguistic relevance of the concept is emphasized, which Beck mentions explicitly. This is followed by a section on Ludwik Fleck’s Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact (5.). Here, comments are made on Fleck’s thinking style and on the thinking collective. On this basis, the synthesis of Beck’s and Fleck’s ideas is sought (6.), a directed perception with a view to social metamorphoses. This can best be done linguistically using the discourse-linguistic multi-layer analysis (DIMEAN), as proposed by Spitzmüller/Warnke. DIMEAN is presented accordingly, and subsequently modified for the analysis of linguistic manifestations of metamorphosis (6.1). Using the example of various linguistic metamorphosis phenomena from the discourse around the German federal elections of 2017–2018, the applicability of the combination of Beck’s and Fleck’s ideas is then tested (6.2). The article concludes with a summary and perspectives for further research (7).

This essay seeks to analyse Jackie Kay’s short story “Shell” (2002) with reference to a metamorphic tradition, in particular the modernist novella The Metamorphosis (1915) by Franz Kafka. Since both texts tackle the subject of the bodily transformation of a solitary character, albeit in two distinctly different manners, the paper will juxtapose them in order to investigate the writer’s reassessment of the monstrous body and the conflict it reveals about the social exclusion of otherness. It will also discuss Kay’s ingenious treatment of metamorphosis as a powerful source of self-invention.

The article presents an analysis of the concept of novelty of artistic forms and its visual expressions in contemporary Lithuanian architecture. It is stated that the novelty is virtually manifested through utopian visions of the new world and their metamorphoses, and is made relevant by the method of experiment. Based on examples of Western European architectural utopias and experiments, the article suggests the formulated indicators of novelty, which are reflected in artistic forms of contemporary Lithuanian architecture. The aim of the research is to reveal the concept of novelty linking it with transformation and utopia, and illustrating it with the objects of contemporary Lithuanian architecture.

In the mid-nineteenth century a Czech writer and folklorist, Karel Jaromı´r Erben, publishes a collection under the title Bouquet, which consists of thirteen ballads inspired by oral folk literature. The leading theme of the collection is the metamorphosis of the dead into the living, which is derived from the primordial conceptions about monistic nature of all phenomena. Erben presents various options for reviving the dead: a metamorphosis into a vampire, a tree, a flower, a bird, and rebirth in a physical form before death. In each case, the metamorphosis involves the action of the elements of nature, which are a tool of moral instruction in the ballads. Reviving the dead is a consequence or a cause of sin, which is the exposure of human life in the name of selfish motives. Erben identifies selfishness with the betrayal of the family. From this point of view, the metamorphosis of the dead into the living reminds us of the value of human life, which is confirmed in family life conducted in accordance with Christian precepts. Erben allegorically extends this Biedermeier message, expressing faith in the rebirth of the Czech nation, which has been politically buried by the Habsburg regime.

The paper offers a reading of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Sylwia Chutnik’s collection of short stories W krainie czarów [In wonderland], addressing the protagonists’ journey into self. Chutnik’s stories are interpreted in terms of some key motifs drawn from a reading of Carroll’s novel, which constitute the touch points of the two authorial designs: dream, imagination, metamorphosis, change, language, auto-thematicity, the demiurgic role of the narrator, and an open ending. Juxtaposed, these concepts shed light on the problem of travelling in time and space understood as a return to the world of childhood imagination. The analysis of Chutnik’s eleven short stories reveals a literary creation of signifying space, in particular the images of Warsaw and Silesia as sites appropriated by history as well as by the protagonists. In every case (be it cities, people’s experiences or post-traumatic stories), an attempted interpretation of particular places and times is shown as a process of discovering the mythology of space – a return to a personal Wonderland. The reflections are brought together by referring to the problem of “bad memory”, a literary means of presenting the reader with alternative testimonies of postmemory.

Metamorfozy (Metamorphoses) by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski and Zygmunt Ławicz i jego koledzy (Zygmunt Ławicz and His Friends) by Eliza Orzeszkowa are treated here as two original works bearing the imprint of two separate creative personalities, although they are based on a similar creative idea and despite the fact that the structure of Orzeszkowa’s novel recalls Kraszewski’s artistic solutions. Both works are similar in content. Using similar metaphors, they attempt to portray metamorphoses in a group of young friends, which are to symbolize more than the passage of time and effects of biological and social laws − both are to express the experience of political bondage. They differ, however, in artistic solutions, which make Metamorphoses, a work based on a myth, a comforting story about the order of human existence; whereas in case of Orzeszkowa’s work they allow us to define it as a novel about dying out, a pessimistic diagnosis of social and political conditions.

The paper touches upon the transformation described in Nowy cud w podgórskich krajach (A new wonder in the piedmont regions), a poem by Wacław Potocki, a 17th century poet: a roe deer turns into a wolf during the hunt on St. Martin’s Day (November 11). In traditional agrarian culture, it was the time of abundance, gluttony and fun − the autumn carnival, when such a transformation can be explained by the laws of the world upside down. In the poem, this has been juxtaposed with the metamorphosis of women into she-wolves. The Latin word lupa (‘a she-wolf’), meaning ‘a prostitute’, refers to the nature of women and their power to transform town houses into lupanars; this metamorphosis is so curious, as it happens permanently, outside the period of carnival licentiousness. It is related to the concept, embraced by Potocki, of the degeneration of the world, in which women’s extraordinary sexual appetites lead to a humiliating metamorphosis of men into deer.

The paper is devoted to the problem of the (Judeo-)Christian (biblical) tradition functioning in (post-)modern culture from the perspective of the history of ideas. The starting point is the metamorphosis of both the Bible as a text and apocrypha as its creative (re)interpretation. The objects of interest are literary paraphrases of the Evangelic story about Judas as a figure of the fallen man. In order to reveal the fundamental ideological changes of (post-)modernity there are presented functionalizations of the greatest sinner in modern Bulgarian apocrypha. It is shown that authors’ metamorphosis of Judas have made him a significant figure of the (post-)modern man. Therefore, the (post-)modern metamorphosis of the (Bulgarian) apocrypha about the God’s traitor on the one hand show the effects of the collapse of the Enlightenment project of human emancipation, and thus testify to the process of the man’s sliding into the tragic immanence, on the other − they reveal − according to Charles Taylor, Agata Bielik-Robson and Philip Rieff − the sense-making potential of para-phrase as a poetic repetition.

The present article aims to study The Black Goat by Bolesław Leśmian in view of its intertextual dialogue with the antique model of metamorphic literature: Metamorphoses, or The Golden Ass by Apuleius. Although the fairy tale was published in a volume entitled Polish Fairy Tales, it is partially based on foreign sources that the author cleverly hid behind other Polish stories. The comparison of The Black Goat with The Golden Ass shows that the Polish poet drew inspiration mainly from Apuleius’s novel, in which a man is also transformed into a stubborn animal. The symbolism of colours and light, which Leśmian modernized and adapted for the modern Polish reader, confirms this hypothesis. Comparative work on both texts helps to understand Leśmian’s reinterpretation of the concept of metamorphosis and his contribution to the reflection on this topic.

The subject matter of the present article is a comparative analysis of two pieces dating back to the turn of the 13th century: a short novel Robert the Devil and a short story Chevalier au barisel. They both belong to the category of the so called “pious stories,” which provided believers with a certain model to follow.What is more, they were a lesson that even the worst sinner may obtain God’s mercy and the grace of salvation. The theme of repentance is an essential narrative and ideological element. The protagonists of the stories in question are: Robert − a knight and Devil’s son; and a knight possessed with the Devil. They both undergo a complete metamorphosis reaching sanctity which results from genuine repentance. Nevertheless, their paths are completely different, as unalike are their initial attitudes towards the possibility of penitence. The theme of metamorphosis in both texts consists of the same elements, which are however put in different narrative order. Two models of Christian metamorphosis emerge from these stories: from devilment to sanctity and from bad life to good death.

Согласно Рози Брайдотти, существование насекомых определяется понятиями «промежуточность» и постоянное «становление». В статье постоянное изменение внешнего вида насекомых в зависимости от условий существования анализируется на двух уровнях, то есть технологии, не связанной с человеком, и повествования в рассказах о метаморфозах, использующего элементы, нарушающие законы природы. Вслед за исследованиями Юсси Парикки в области медиаархеологии становление-насекомым анализируется на трансмедихных примерах из области литературы (Франц Кафка – Превращение), кино (Дэвид Кроненберг – Муха), видеоигр и виртуальной реальности (All in! Games – Metamorphosis) и сетевых СМИ. Исследование точек зрения, не принадлежащих человеку, и остранение в повествовании, согласно Яну Альберу, приводит к трансформации когнитивных рамок. Радикально Иные насекомые выходят за пределы антропоцентрической парадигмы и в гибридном сочетании с людьми и машинами реализуют постгуманистические прогнозы.

Zgodnie ze słowami Rosi Braidotti owady determinuje ich bycie po-między i ciągłe stawanie się. W artykule asamblaż owadzich figuracji analizowany jest na dwóch poziomach: nie-ludzkiej technologii oraz nienaturalnej narracji w opowieściach o metamorfozie. Podążając za badaniami z obszaru archeologii mediów Jussi Parikki, stawanie-się-owadem analizowane jest na transmedialnych przykładach z obszarów literatury (Franz Kafka – Przemiana), filmu (David Cronenberg – Mucha), gier wideo i VR (All in! Games – Metamorphosis) oraz mediów usieciowanych. Eksploracja pozaludzkich perspektyw i defamiliaryzacja w narracjach według Jana Albera prowadzi do transformacji ram kognitywnych. Radykalnie Inne owady okazują się przekraczać antropocentryczny paradygmat i w hybrydycznym połączeniu z człowiekiem i maszynami urzeczywistniają posthumanistyczne założenia.

According to Rosi Braidotti, insects are determined by their in-between-ness and continuous becoming. The paper analyses the assemblage of insect figurations on two levels: non-human technology and unnatural narrative in stories about a transformation. Following Jussi Parikka’s media archaeology research, becoming-insect is examined on transmedial examples from literature (Franz Kafka-The Metamorphosis), film (David Cronenberg-The Fly), video games and VR (All in! Games-Metamorphosis) and networked media. According to Jan Alber, exploration beyond human stances and defamiliarization in narrative fiction leads to the shift of cognitive frameworks. Radically Other insects transgress the anthropocentric paradigm and execute posthuman assumptions by a hybrid entanglement with humans and machines.

Celem artykułu jest krótkie omówienie problemu obecności alter ego i procesów metamorfozy w literaturze latynoamerykańskiej. Punktem wyjścia dla prezentowanych rozważań jest opowiadanie Julio Cortázara Aksolotl. Historia stanowi pretekst ukazania różnych interpretacji, które przekazuje nam Cortázar w odniesieniu do mitu i problemu przemiany, transformacji. Ponieważ nie zawsze jesteśmy uczciwi wobec siebie, wyrazem i miarą naszych myśli może stać się nasze drugie ja, nasz nierzeczywisty sobowtór. Pisarz odwołuje się do różnorodnych relacji egzystencjalnych, w których poszukujemy codziennie potwierdzenia i stałości, poczucia rzeczywistości, pozostając jednak w nieustannym konflikcie ze światem pogrążonym w antagonistycznej relacji między tym, co realne, i tym, co nierzeczywiste. Ten dualizm jest wieloznaczącą metaforą, poprzez którą Cortázar przywołuje m.in. Thomasa Manna czy Franza Kafkę. Aksolotl stanie się zatem pretekstem analizy i punktem wyjścia do refleksji na temat metafory transformacji ukazywanej w literaturze pięknej.

EN

This paper aims to briefly tackle the issue of the alter ego and the metamorphosis in Latin American literature. For this reason, we shall take the story by Julio Cortázar entitled Axolotl as a reference point and evaluate the various interpretations of the myth and transformation in Cortázar’s work. Since we are not the very expression and measure of our thoughts (e.g. Julio Cortázar), our other self is always among us. The various existential relationships that we establish daily to confirm that we live our lives fulfilled by certainty and conviction, and that – staying in a permanent conflict with the world engulfed in an antagonistic relationship between the real and the unreal – they are a potent metaphor through which Cortázar evoques Thomas Mann or Franz Kafka, among others. Thus, the axolotl shall not be the only reason to analyze the story. We shall also see how this metaphor is rendered in literature.

Interpreting death in the novel The Flute for Mice (Myshkina dudochka) by Aleksey Remizov A well-known fact as it is, Aleksey Remizov composed his works triggered by autobiographical motives as short texts constituting various genres. In the montage produced, the former being observed as a creative principle, dream descriptions, narratives and obituary are arranged in a set. In The Flute for Mice, which is one of Remizov’s last novels, death appears on different levels (on the level of the theme, motifs and genre). Mythological parallelisms being deciphered will contribute to outline the basic and persistent element of Remizov’s worldview: bodily death is seen as the transmutation of life/soul, furthermore the space of culture is not subordinated to the laws of time.

Zaliczają się do nich opowiadanie-nekrolog, wspomnienie o zmarłym, lament, opis snów i widzeń, które znajdujemy w jednym z ostatnich dużych utworów Remizowa — powieści Мышкина дудочка. Śmierć przenika całą tkankę utworu: pojawia się na płaszczyźnie tematycznej, ideowej i gatunkowej. Przy interpretacji mitologicznych paraleli uwidaczniają się zasadnicze elementy światopoglądu Remizowa, dla którego śmierć ciała stanowi jedynie przejście życia do innych form, a przestrzeń kultury nie podlega prawom czasu.

In the 21st century socialization becomes particularly important because an individual does not stand alone on his/her own, he/she is in a certain society, which is nothing less, indiscreet in the aspects of values, attitudes, behaviour, and other aspects. A person faces his/her value, cultural, religious navigations and other issues because the self-formation is influenced by his/ her cultural and religious perception. This gets strengthened when the society becomes more open for the world. Thus the following question emerges: “What is this openness, for what is this openness, unlimited or with limits?” (Lukšienė, 2000, p. 399). In this context it is possible to formulate the question of scientific problem: what is the gap between individual’s socialization and mimicry as well as metamorphosis at the intersection of cultures and religions? The aim of the article is to reveal the importance of individual’s positive socialization in the intersection of cultures and religions by disclosing the gap of mimicry and metamorphosis. The methodological attitude is social constructivism (Kukla, 2000). The article presents the concept of individual’s positive socialization, discusses the factors influencing it, the scheme and possible manifestations of its possible mimicry and metamorphosis. The attention is paid to a smart education, which, according to Kvieskienė (2015), is the measure of creative and social industries, which helps every person to develop, enable oneself and help different social groups. It can also be the incentive for the positive socialization of a person in the space of cultural and religious connection.

PL

W XXI wieku socjalizacja staje się szczególnie istotna, gdyż człowiek nie żyje w odosobnieniu; funkcjonuje w społeczeństwie, które jest niczym innym, jak powszechnym zbiorem wartości, postaw, zachowań i innych kwestii. Jednostka, na której autokreację wpływa postrzeganie przez nią kwestii kulturowych i religijnych, staje w obliczu pytania o swoją wartość, o to, jak poruszać się w świecie kultury i religii oraz w innych sferach życia. Efekt ten wzmacnia coraz większe otwarcie społeczeństwa na świat. Stąd pojawia się pytanie: „Czym jest ta otwartość, czemu służy? Czy jest nieograniczona czy też ma jakieś granice?” (Lukšienė, 2000, s. 399). W tym kontekście można sformułować pytanie naukowe: jak duża jest rozbieżność między socjalizacją jednostki a mimikrą i metamorfozą na skrzyżowaniu kultur i religii? Celem artykułu jest wykazanie, jak istotne znaczenie ma pozytywna socjalizacja jednostki na przecięciu kultur i religii poprzez ujawnienie rozbieżności między mimikrą a metamorfozą. Postawę metodologiczną opracowania stanowi konstruktywizm społeczny (Kukla, 2000). W artykule przedstawiono koncepcję pozytywnej socjalizacji jednostki, omówiono czynniki, które na nią wpływają oraz schematy i możliwe przejawy mimikry i metamorfozy. Autor przykłada istotną wagę do inteligentnej edukacji, która według Kvieskienė (2015) odzwierciedla sektor twórczy i społeczny, która pozwala na rozwinięcie zarówno potencjału jednostki jak i różnych grup społecznych. Może stanowić ona także zachętę do pozytywnej socjalizacji jednostek zanurzonych w określonej przestrzeni kulturowej i religijnej.

Ci sono due modi per stabilire la relazione con lo spazio. Uno è in parte generale e in parte idiosincratico ed è la maniera in cui il passato si manifesta nel presente dell’individuo. L’altro, è una connessione molto profonda e intima con il luogo nel quale è possibile stabilire tale relazione ovvero quando iniziamo a sentirci legati ad un dato spazio, cioè quando le linee storiche ed estetiche di connessione si dimostrano inadeguate.L’anima della Calabria (1950) e Segreti di Puglia (1951), due travelogues appartenenti alla serie Italia celebre e sconosciuta, esplorano due regioni totalmente diverse dell’Italia indagando la percezione del paesaggio, la storia e la mitologia radicate in questi luoghi e le varie pratiche della vita quotidiana che si sono sviluppate nel corso dei secoli. Così, la regione diventa più di una serie di luoghi interessanti e monumenti storici che i baedeker esaltano e pubblicizzano per i turisti. Invece, in questo caso, ci occupiamo della decostruzione di tali prodotti culturali già pronti e, facendo un “esercizio mentale”, non solo transiteremo ma saremo anche situati in luoghi che rivelano il loro carattere provvisorio, metamorfico e la loro incompiutezza, diventando così una sfida al nostro senso morale. Ne deriva che, esercitando memoria e mente, trasformiamo l’allenamento di quest’ultimi in allenamento morale e sociale.

There are two modes of establishing a relationship with space. One is, partly general and partly idiosyncratic, manner in which the past makes itself manifest in the present of the life of the human individual. The other is a most profound and intimate connection with a place which is possible when we begin to feel situated in a given space, i.e. when standard historical and aesthetic lines of connecting prove inadequate.L’anima della Calabria (1950) and Segreti di Puglia (1951), two travelogues in a series of Italia celebre e sconosciuta, explore the two distinctly different regions of Italy investigating the perception of landscape, its rootedness in history and mythology as well as various practices of everyday life they have generated over centuries. Thus, the region becomes more than a series of interesting sights and historical monuments baedekers record and advertise for tourists. Instead, we deal with deconstruction of such ready-made cultural products and, in the effort of “mental exercise”, we not only transit through but are also situated in places which reveal their provisional, metamorphic character, their unfinishedness, becoming thus a challenge to our moral sense. Hence, exercising memory and mind, allenamento della memoria e della mente morphs into allenamento morale e sociale.
