Cappelen and Lepore (2005; 2006; 2007) have recently emphasised the significance of a minimal notion of perfectly shared content for pragmatic theories. This paper argues for a similar notion, but assumes that a satisfactory defence cannot be achieved along the lines of the existing debate between Minimalism and Contextualism (e.g. Carston 2002, Recanati 2004). Rather, it is necessary to consistently distinguish two functional domains: the subjective processing domain and the interpersonal domain of communication, each with its own kind of utterance meaning. I will argue that it is the mutually recognised content of the speaker's overt commitment that should be identified as ‘speaker meaning’. Diverging from the (post-) Gricean tradition, it is conventionally restricted (minimal), but genuinely pragmatic (speaker-dependent). Functional considerations show that it is, moreover, unnecessary to include further elements in ‘speaker meaning’. The distinction between two notions of utterance meaning with very different characteristics allows us to integrate the assumption of perfect sharing, which explains people's trust in communication, and the subjectivity of the hearer's inferences into a coherent and powerful model.

This brief paper constitutes a critical evaluation of the silent PP-hypothesis of Hornstein and Polinsky (2010), a key element in their accounting for the bleeding of the Minimal Link Condition in a movement-based account of Subject Control across an object. It appears that while their evidence for the presence of the silent PP in constructions with the verb promise in English is well motivated, such an assumption cannot be adopted for Polish, a language where the indirect object of subject control verbs and control shift verbs is not found within a PP and can even appear in a structural case (Accusative). Thus from the perspective of comparative studies the inadequacy of the silent PP-hypothesis is a considerable problem for the movement-based approach to control. Yet, as a brief survey of other current solutions to the MLC problem with promise shows, no alternative proposal is free from serious limitations of its own.

Historical legacy, as an important constituent for the evaluation of the extent to which the past influences the present, sheds much light on some of the broader issues of the relation between the past and the present. One of the components of historical legacy is human food consumption habits. The domain of food consumption habits, in traditional Greek and Roman culture, contains a fairly noticeable diversity as it fluctuates between what seems to be two wide poles of dietary practices such as a simple diet, with the focus on minimalism and health and a luxury diet, with the focus on excess and extravagance. These poles, upon close analysis, have determined the dietary customs of antiquity while also formed a gastronomic identity. The impact of this historical legacy seems to have not only flavored Porphyry’s discussion of the nature of the philosopher’s diet in On Abstinence from Killing Animals but has also served in characterizing an advanced stage of minimalism in Greek and Roman food consumption habits.

The use-mention distinction is considered as a fundamental concept in the philosophy of language. So it goes without doubt that a comprehensive theory of language has to account for this distinction. In this paper I explore what it means to account for such a distinction and I argue that the main ideas of contextualist theories of language are in conflict with the distinction in question.

One of the trends in consumer behaviour that has been gradually gaining strength since the beginning of the 21st century is minimalism, also defined as anti-consumerism, voluntary simplicity and deconsumption. These notions are not identical, although, according to research, the conceptual scope is very approximate. Minimalism means deliberately limiting consumption to the rational sizes that result from the natural, individual, physical and mental characteristics of consumers, while emphasising responsible decision-making in this area. The most common expression of processes related to minimalism is mainly the limitations in quantitative and structural consumption. The aim of the article is to present the state of knowledge about minimalism in consumption on the basis of the analysis of the Polish literature on the subject and the results of scientific research. In the case of consumption, minimalism is compared with other concepts and described in terms of the various research fields of consumption. In the case of trends in consumer behaviour, the term is contrasted with deconsumption and voluntary simplicity. It is indicated as part of a lifestyle of sustainable consumption, and occurs when discussing food wastage as well as fashion. It should be noted that the given issues are related to each other, and their separation/separate treatment results from the adaptation of individual principles and rules by different groups of consumers depending on their own needs.

Natalia Malek undertakes a task of finding a possibility of translation between the languages of prosaic/poetic and visual arts, thus struggling to widen the spectrum of artistic expression. Her actions aim to intensify the form of the poem, which results in her leaning towards daring minimalism. Malek’s poems have gone a long way from life images with an ordered plot to concise linguistic images which strive towards deeper meanings and open up questions about identity and the art of poetry.

Zygmunt Krauze is the founder of a new current in art: unistic (unitary) music. He developed this concept in the first period of his artistic work, inspired by the unistic paintings of Władysław Strzemiński. Traces of this style are also detectable in Krauze’s later post-unistic works. Unistic music is characterised by a paradoxical unity in diversity. Most of the composer’s statements collected in this paper refer to specific features of unism in music. Other, more general comments concern the essence of music, the composer’s personal stance, the creative process, the autonomy of the composer, the audience and the performers, etc. Two longer texts by Zygmunt Krauze have been quoted in full. One can be considered as a unistic manifesto, while the other is a kind of personal credo.

This article investigates Reza Servati’s Macbeth, an Iranian prize-winning adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, to discuss the way the adaptor prunes the source text aiming at presenting his distinctive reading of Shakespeare’s play. First, this study is concerned with the way Servati minimalizes the source text and how the process of minimalization serves the adaptor’s preoccupation with the psychological complexities of the characters. Second, it is discussed how Servati’s changes to the source text takes the Renaissance inclination for individualism a step forward. Third, it is argued that the individualism in Servati’s adaptation is aimed at Oedipalization of the play, an attempt that shows the influence of Freudian psychoanalysis. Finally, this article investigates the way Servati’s adaptation can be considered as an expressionist reworking of Shakespeare’s Macbeth by making the individualization of the plot subservient to the expression of the typical course that everyman goes through.

The article investigates the previously unresearched work of Daniel Kehlmann. Kehlmann, a renowned contemporary novelist, has written only four plays, making him a novice in the area of drama. Until now, his dramatic endeavours have been rather overlooked by the researchers in theatre studies; yet, his plays fit in the paradigm of the contemporary theatre, for which G. Poschmann suggests the term 'critical use of dramatic form'. This article focuses on Kehlmann's plays Ghosts in Princeton and The Journey of the Lost. Such thematic focus is explained by the fact that the aforementioned plays differ from the rest of Kehlman's dramatic work by the critical use of historical subject matter, thus posing as an organic whole.

This paper presents and discusses the results of an experiment testing the validity of the Trace Deletion Hypothesis (Grodzinsky 1989, 2000) in Czech. The Trace Deletion Hypothesis (= TDH) was proposed to account for a receptive syntactic deficit in Broca’s aphasics that involves structures containing transformational operations such as the passive. According to the assumptions of the TDH, in passive constructions Broca’s aphasics fail to assign a semantic θ-role to the derived subject syntactically, so they assign it the Agent θ-role by linear consideration (Default Principle), which results in a structure with two potential Agents. This strategy is supposed to lead to the chance performance of Broca’s aphasics in these structures, as they are forced to guess the distribution of the Agent and the Patient θ-roles. The results of our experiment, however, do not support the TDH-proposal: out of the six tested subjects, only one performed at chance. The error rate for reversible passive structures in Czech was 33.34%, which corresponds to an above-chance performance. Given these results, the validity of the TDH is called into question, also with respect to the development of the generative theory itself.

Even though absurd humour and surreal scenes are at first sight the characteristic elements of Eric Chevillard’s style, it is an oversimplification to consider his novels as mere literary jokes. The appeal of this literature stems from the light and witty manner in which it transforms outdated novelistic conventions, deconstructs classic narrative strategies and refuses to fulfill the reader’s expectations. This article seeks to analyse minimal narration, an unusual mode of writing for Chevillard, in Oreille rouge: just like narrative excess, typical of his other works, it results in dematerialisation of the plot and redefinition of the novelistic structure.

In this paper, we focus on consumption practices reflected on blogs of Polish minimalists. We analyzed 16 top blogs of the minimalists present in the Polish blogosphere. The objective of the minimalists is to consume less and live simple life without the excess of material objects. We studied the instructions of everyday conduct which the minimalists give on their blogs, as well as the meanings they assign to their practices: their personal stories of becoming a minimalist and statements of their values. The authors belong to one generation-their childhood took place in the times of the shortage economy in the 1980s. This influenced the whole trajectory of their lives and their consumer choices. To interpret their practices we use the categories of rationalization of Max Weber and modern hedonism of Colin Campbell. It appears that minimalists strive for reaching certain emotional states, e.g. peace and wellbeing they imagine, in line with the theory of modern hedonism. A path to those emotional states consists of rationalization of all the temporary, impulse-based pleasures and control over emotions involved in consumption.

Jan Krasnowolski is one of the most interesting Polish writers currently living and writing in the UK. He belongs to the same group as the poet and novelist Wioletta Greg (who, until recently, called Isle of Wight home and now lives in Essex) or Piotr Czerwiński (from Ireland). All of those authors write in Polish and publish in Poland, although Britain appears in their writing more and more oen. Some of their books get translated into English and published in the UK (especially Wioletta Greg, recently nominated to the Man Booker International Prize for Swallowing Mercury, translated by Eliza Marciniak). There are also several other Polish writers in the UK, such as A. M. Bakalar and Agnieszka Dale, who write in English. Krasnowolski has written four collections of short stories: 9 łatwych kawałków (9 Easy Pieces), Klatka (A Cage), Afrykańska elektronika (African Electronics) and Syreny z Broadmoor ([e Broadmoor Sirens). He practices his own version of literary minimalism. His writing is often defined as lad lit and compared to Raymond Carver. His language is simplified and streamlined; he describes regular people living next door, often finds his inspiration in British tabloid media.

The article discusses the ecopoetic potential inherent in small lyrical forms which employ a peculiar technique of showing the “picture” of the external world. The poetics of the “silent poems” consists in concealing the presence of the subject and presenting the reader with a bare fragment of reality, which in the analyzed instances involve non-human nature. The author, examining the pieces by Jacek Gutorow, Bartosz Suwiński and Klara Nowakowska, outlines a poetic form in which the equivalence of each element of nature displaces the anthropocentric vision of the world. The study sets out from the old Japanese genre of haiku and Anglo-American imagism. The concept of ecopoetics, suggested by Julia Fiedorczuk and Gerardo Beltrán provide the core context for these deliberations.

The paper aims to show the ecopoetic potential of minimalist poems, in which the lyrical subject remains out of sight. The text discusses poetic techniques of drawing a bare picture of reality, which have the capacity to enact a novel, non-anthropocentric approach to non-human nature. The author combines interpretive practice with the concept of ecopoetics and literary genology.

The paper analyses the short story collection titled Remnants written by the notable Danish author, Helle Helle. This work is characteristic of the contemporary minimalist movement, and is one of the most significant works of the 1990’s in Danish literature. The main point of the paper is the notion of absence and loss, which is treated as the work’s dominating principle. The paper attempts to prove that this governing principle of “absence and loss” both applies to the collection’s plot and its composition. Accordingly, several examples from the text are included to demonstrate the principle’s relevance.

What is suggested in the article is an analysis of the spirituality of people practicing the minimalist lifestyle. The author treats this type of spirituality as a case of new spirituality. The anti-consumerist nature of minimalism is emphasized in the conducted analyses. At the same time, an attempt is made to specify the conditions for thinking about the possibility of anti-consumerist (new) spirituality exemplified by minimalist spirituality. Special attention is drawn to the issue of similarities between minimalism or minimalist spirituality and Zen Buddhism.

What is undertaken in the presented study is the reflection upon minimalism, treated as a suggestion for building the foundations of anti-consumerist civilization. The author presents minimalism on one hand as a form of contemporary spirituality and, on the other, as a suggestion for lifestyle in the time of crisis. The figure of Henry David Thoreau is particularly focused on as well as his inspiring significance for the minimalist suggestion concerning the reconstruction of modern civilization.

Pięć lat temu na łamach „Przeglądu Religioznawczego” opublikowałem swój pierwszy artykuł poświęcony minimalizmowi. Już wtedy w tle moich rozważań pojawił się wątek związku między minimalizmem a kryzysem gospodarczym. Jak pisałem wtedy, popularność tego zjawiska zbiega się z gospodarczymi perturbacjami, których symbolem stał się upadek banku Lehman Brothers. Minimalizm z racji swojego antykonsumpcjonistycznego nastawienia można by potraktować jako propozycję stylu życia w czasach kryzysu gospodarczego.
