The paper is an attempt to find the mythical roots of the prose works "Tristan" by Thomas Mann and "Tristan 1946" by Maria Kuncewiczowa. The undertaken analysis has shown that the titles of both works are a conscious provocation or a pretext for taking a broader perspective on the essence and the role of myths in the modern world. In his polemic discussion with Wagner contained in his short story written in a sanatorium Thomas Mann seems to reach similar conclusions as Maria Kuncewiczowa, who in her Cornish novel invokes autobiographical motives. The love of Tristan and Isolde of the 20th century is doomed to fail. The medieval myth is confronted with the ancient myth (in the work by Thomas Mann) and with the modern bourgeois myth of family. Both Thomas Mann and Maria Kuncewiczowa intuitively sense and anticipate the theory by Levi-Strauss by showing how in the modern world devoid of love the music replaces the myth, takes over its function and becomes an illusory light at the end of the tunnel.

Electricity is one of the factors shaping the quality of life of society. The Polish energy sector is to a large extent identified with fossil fuel used in conventional energy, based mainly on hard coal, which is not fully in line with the current energy policy of the European Union. Therefore, today it is necessary to use renewable energy more efficiently, which, in addition to the clearly indicated economic effect, also accentuates environmental effects. The purpose of the work is to show the opinions of young people aged 15–24 in terms of their awareness of the interpretation of myths about renewable energy, which is a key problem in the development of the modern energy sector, and to indicate the directions of development of the energy policy in Poland.

The myth of the North, which stems from the 18th century, was in the Sturm und Drang [Storm and Stress] literary movement a manifestation of protest against the feudal culture and the increasing German nationalism. In the time of Romanticism the myth lead to the rejection of thinking about money and about gaining profits since it was conceived of as a pre-capitalist utopia. Thus, it was always perceived as a manifestation of social criticism. This state of affairs changed after the myth had been included in the fascists’ racist ideology, which in the context of the ‘Nordic thought’ caused its instrumentalization in the sense of folk ideology. The myth consequently degenerated because of its inhuman aggressiveness.

The aim of the presented paper was to find out whether Czech and Slovak teachers are affected by myths about the gifted. We selected myths concerning the nature of giftedness, its identification, social and emotional characteristics of the gifted, and their education. The myths were examined in regard to determinants regarding educators. Data from 434 teachers (350 women) were collected by a foreign questionnaire. The results showed that these educators tend to hold myths about overachievement of the gifted without special care, simultaneity of giftand creativity, and the correlation of giftedness with social and emotional problems. The group with a higher risk to be susceptible to certain myths are teachers over 40 years of age, with experience longer than 10 years, teaching in villages and having no contact with giftedness. Thus, we recommend focusing especially on further training of these high-risk groups of teachers in order to rebut their misconceptions about the gifted. The research was supported by the research grant of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic registered under number P407/11/1272.

The article presents the possibility of using the great Latin American myths in a more engaged value-oriented teaching. Modern technological societies are impoverished as far as emotional life is concerned. Thanks to emotional education, which is about awakening emotions in the learners, we can make students more sensitive and invite them to take part in a discussion about values. The great personae of Latin America such as Simon Bolivar, Eva Peron or Che Guevara can be the subject of the didactic project.

Although the cultural values of the Igbo of South-East Nigeria are multiple and di-verse, research seems to have identified a seminal link between most of them to the much touted sense of communality. In communality, the sheer strength and vivacity of the Igbo spirit is magnificently showcased, and in it there is a concrete as-semblage of the Igbo mythology. In this paper the Igbo myths of the origin of mankind and death are explored to evaluate their rich meaning-contents, their significant influence on the religious-cultural, and, in consequence, the whole gamut of the traditional people’s worldview was duly x-rayed. In conclusion, observations were presented which indicate that even the contemporary Igbo pathways are not bereft of the daunting influences of ancient myths.

The question of legal education is recognised as important along various dimensions and thus has been in the focus of attention of numerous distinguished legal scholars and practitioners all over the world. The problem of legal education includes not just methodological issues, but also the issues that are par excellence philosophical in nature. Legal education has a specificity that arises from the nature of law and its complexity, and is related to the personal dimension of this education. The process of education should be organised in such a way that students should be in contact with members of the legal community whose authority, moral and subject matter-related attributes play a vital, formative role in legal education. The author tries to confront the didactics-related reality with ideals and postulates present within this field. Yet, it is revealed that such a reality is hidden below a “thick layer” of myths, which have grown around legal education. These myths blur the real picture of lawyers’ education, creating a kind of legal education mythology. Two types of systemic legal myths are indicated. The first one is built on the paradigm of university legal education. The other type is based on the paradigm of university studies.

Aim. The aim of this article is to analyse Aboriginal myths and discover the relationship between animals and humans in the beliefs of the indigenous Australians. The article attempts to explain how animals are described when compared to people and vice. Furthermore, the author endeavours to establish what the relationship looks like and how it is presented. Methods. As Aboriginal myths and mythologies have been evolving for hundreds and thousands of years, it is not possible to analyse every single myth. Hence, in order to narrow them down, only the myths presented by Alexander Wyclif Reed will be analysed. The analysis will be conducted from the perspective of Animals Studies, with a particular focus on the contemporary ecological views presented by a contemporary representative of an ecological turn and animal rights scholar, Peter Wohlleben. The analysis will focus on three main aspects: parenting/motherly love, instincts, feelings and emotions. Results. The analysis shows that animals were of the utmost importance in the Aboriginal everyday life and most of the time were treated on a par with humans. Just like the Aboriginal point of view, contemporary attitude to Animal Studies attempts to alter the view according to which animals are devoid of feelings and intelligence. Conclusions. Animals seem to have a crucial role in every aspect of Aboriginal everyday life, including religious and social. They were not perceived as lesser or worse; conversely, Aboriginals considered them to be as intelligent and significant as the Aboriginal people themselves.

The issue of the harnessing of symbols by politicians is essential, because it ex-plains to what extent government representatives are able to make an impact on society and how much identifying with specific symbols can be viewed as an acceptance of political myths and ideas by voters. This topic is particularly valid in the light of upcom-ing local government elections. Time caesuras of the analyzed subject will be limited by the duration of the election campaign that took place in 2011, from the announcement by the President of the Repub-lic of Poland to the start of electoral silence. Territorial coverage of the undertaken re-search will apply to constituency No. 25: the Gdańsk constituency which covers the following counties: Gdańsk, Kwidzyn, Malbork, Nowy Dwór, Starogard, Sztum, Tczew and cities with county rights like Gdańsk and Sopot. The intention of this article is to indicate the manner and intensity in which the symbol of “Solidarity” was used during the parliamentary election campaign by candi-dates from the Gdańsk constituency as well as to answer if, and to what extent it contrib-uted towards their electoral success.

Retelling and reinterpreting myths is one of the most popular literary devices of feminist criticism. In the anthology Ziarno granatu Polish authors reinterpreted individual Greek myths. The (re)telling of well-known myths from the female perspective emphasized the oppressive nature of these tales, showing how women were overlooked and discriminated against. The stories included in the anthology point to the timelessness of the issues of Greek myths, and the authors of the works indicate the correlations between ancient stories and contemporary Poland.

This text focuses on the issue of the instrumental politicization of history, which is illustrated by the political contexts of the Liberation Festival in Pilsen. The goal of the text is to present the ways in which the (re)production of the myth of freedom takes place over the course of the festival’s celebrations and present the forms that the narrative of this myth assumes. The text is a contribution to the broader debate on the political significance of public events relating to the commemoration of the end of the Second World War in all of Central Europe. In the text, we will show that an official narrative of the myth of freedom exists. Over the course of the celebrations, this myth is (re)produced by local, regional, and national political representatives. In many cases, the official narrative is disrupted by competing narratives, which attempt to redefine or at least weaken the dominant interpretation of the myth of freedom and connected notions of liberation and occupation both in the context of the period of the Second World War and of contemporary politics. We also point out the ways in which the dramaturgical and discursive defense of this dominant narrative takes place on the part of official representatives.

This paper constitutes an attempt to confront the image of the Arab community living in Poland with the self-image of this community. It is based on interviews and surveys conducted with the representatives of both groups (Arabs and Poles), which reveal some myths about Arabs most frequently repeated by Polish respondents, such as: ‘There are a lot of Arabs in Poland and they are everywhere’, ‘Arabs in Poland benefit from social welfare as in Western countries’, ‘Arabs (immigrants) are stealing jobs from Poles’, ‘When you buy a kebab, you settle an Arab’, ‘Arabs in Poland do not integrate with Poles’, ‘Arab means Muslim, Muslim means Arab’, ‘Arabs are the most unpopular nation in Poland’, and other widespread stereotypes relating to the Arab community. These myths and stereotypes were confronted with the results of the author of this paper’s own research, which undermines their legitimacy.

Blumenberg’s phenomenological anthropology replaces the traditional question: what is human being? by the question: how is human being possible at all? The last question expresses a huge skepticism against “life-ability” in a manner of human existence. According to Blumenberg man can survive only if he distances himself – in a direct and in a metaphorical sense – from the overwhelming power of reality. As an animal that has eyes and moves on two legs man can secure himself from dangers and set traps for what he desires. In the metaphorical sense he distances himself from all-powerful reality through creating myths, religions, sciences, technique, art and culture. They are proven forms of to get over with anxieties and dangers human being faces in the terrible and anonymous world.

The printed press has the overt ambition to occupy a significant position in politics, making itself the fourth estate. This ambition is served by tools of social engineering, marketing, and PR. Their purpose is to make the position of the media particularly prominent in the social sphere. The press does not hesitate to enter the domain of various groups’ interests. The „Rzeczpospolita” and „Gazeta Wyborcza” dailies have undertaken a variety of projects to protect their (publisher’s) position on the market, resorting to tools that are typical of the protection o f interests. Depending on the situation, they have applied persuasion, used social relations, sought to influence decision-making processes, and formed coalitions to strengthen the pressure they can apply. To accomplish their particular interests they have involved public opinion and intemational bodies, presenting the intentions and actions of State authorities in a negative light, different from the actual picture. They have not shunned manipulation, threats and even blackmail, ultimately resorting to open confrontation. This aspect of media functioning usually goes unnoticed. Researchers have mainly focused on the cultural functions of the press, as well as the role of a political actor vested in the fourth estate. The cases analyzed in this paper are an attempt to fili a gap in the academic literature.

Prasa nie kryje ambicji zajmowania znaczącej pozycji w polityce, kreując się na IV władzę. Jest to roszczenie, któremu służą zabiegi o charakterze socjotechnicznym, marketingowym, PR-owskim. Mają na celu szczególne wyeksponowanie pozycji mediów w przestrzeni społecznej. Prasa nie waha się przed wkraczaniem na obszar, który jest domeną grup interesu. „Rzeczypospolita” i „Gazeta Wyborcza” podjęły różnorodne przedsięwzięcia, by chronić swą (wydawcy) pozycję na rynku, w czym posługiwały się narzędziami typowymi dla rzecznictwa interesów. W zależności od rozwoju sytuacji, stosowały perswazję, wykorzystywały relacje towarzyskie, starały się wywrzeć wpływ na proces decyzyjny, ponadto dla wzmocnienia presji tworzyły koalicje. Do realizacji swych partykularnych interesów angażowały opinię i instytucje międzynarodowe, ukazując intencje i działania władz państwowych w negatywnym, odbiegającym od rzeczywistości świetle. Nie stroniły od manipulacji, gróźb i szantażu, przechodząc wreszcie do jawnej konfrontacji. Ta strona funkcjonowania mediów jest zwykle niedostrzegana. Badacze koncentrują się głównie na kulturowych funkcjach prasy, a także roli aktora politycznego lokowanego w IV władzy. Poddane analizie przypadki są próbą wypełnienia luki w literaturze naukowej.

The demand that the public sphere, including culture, should be depoliticized after the transformations which took place in 1989 has proved to be baseless. Polish writers were challenged with the task of describing the events from Polish history and the political, social, cultural and economic changes that were taking place. Literature made an attempt to review the previous system and this issue seemed to be interesting for writers with both conservative and leftist views. One of the authors who delve into this kind of political novel is Bronisław Wildstein, whose artistic work has been imbued with political disputes in which he speaks out forcefully. It is not a cliché to call the novels of this writer and columnist fictionalized political manifestos. Wildstein unwaveringly raises the issues of history and politics as the things which determine our lives. Simultaneously, he refers to the tradition of prose analyzing the responsibility for public events. The writer tries to critically review the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) and its myths (including the Solidarity myth). Moreover, among the subjects frequently discussed one may find media policy and the world of politics from the inside.

The study indicates that there is no single and unequivocal definition of the life of Poles in exile, This life is situated in a wide area of cultural and civilization mythization. In the contemporary diasporal life of Poles, traditional patterns of living abroad and contemporary migration values clash with great force, the mythization of Polish diasporal life is acquired by values such as: freedom, mismanagement, conflictogenicity, attachment to religion and traditional patterns of attitudes, behavior, and cultural aspirations, Migrations of Poles are defined as a civilization value, although in the reality of contemporary global changes and European integration there is a need to develop by the state of migration policy.

W opracowaniu wskazuje się, że nie ma jednego i jednoznacznego definiowania życia emigracyjnego Polaków. Życie to sytuuje się w szerokiej przestrzeni mityzacji kulturowo-cywilizacyjnej. We współczesnym życiu diasporalnym Polaków z dużą siłą ścierają się tradycyjne wzory życia na obczyźnie oraz współczesne wartości migracyjne. Szczególną nośność w mityzacji polskiego życia diasporalnego zdobywają wartości takie, jak: wolność, niegospodarność, konfliktogenność, przywiązanie do religii oraz tradycyjnych wzorów postaw, zachowań, aspiracji kulturowych. Migracje Polaków definiowane są jako wartość cywilizacyjna, aczkolwiek w rzeczywistości współczesnych przemian globalnych i integracji europejskiej ujawnia się potrzeba wypracowania przez państwo polityki migracyjnej.

During the 1930s, when Olbracht wrote all his Subcarpathian novels, he started to become involved in literary translation (basically to earn a living in all probability), translating exclusively from German and mostly from the work of Thomas Mann. This study carries on from the the work of Jiří Opelík from 1967, which for the first time put forward the proposition that Olbracht´s approach to translation work was very active, so these translations acted as catalysts to hasten the qualitative transformation in Olbracht´s work. The study compares the collection of prose works Golet v údolí (1937) with Thomas Mann´s tetralogy of novels Joseph and his brothers (1926-1942), from which Olbracht translated a total of three works during the 1930s (the first two in collaboration with Helena Malířová). A comparison of both authors´poetics (the nature of the fictional world, their specific conceptions of myth, the narrator and the characters) indicates that between the two works there are several analogies supporting and in many respects complementing Opelík´s theory. A look at Golet v údolí in the light of Mann´s tetralogy opens up new ways of interpreting this crowning achievement by Olbracht.

CS

Ivan Olbracht se začal ve třicátých letech 20. století, v době, kdy vznikly všechny jeho podkarpatské prózy, věnovat literárnímu překladu (pravděpodobně zvláště z existenčních důvodů). Překládal přitom výhradně z němčiny a nejvíce z díla Thomase Manna. Studie navazuje na práci Jiřího Opelíka z roku 1967, který poprvé vyslovil tezi, že Olbracht k překladům přistupoval velmi aktivně, a ty tak sehrály roli katalyzátoru, jenž uspíšil kvalitativní proměnu Olbrachtova díla. Ve studii srovnáváme soubor próz Golet v údolí (1937) s tetralogickým románem Thomase Manna Josef a bratří jeho (1926-1942), z něhož Olbracht ve třicátých letech přeložil celkem tři díly (první dva ve spolupráci s Helenou Malířovou). Na základě srovnání poetik obou autorů (charakter fikčního světa, specifické pojetí mýtu, vypravěč, postavy) se ukazuje, že mezi díly existuje řada analogií, které Opelíkovu tezi podporují a v mnohém doplňují. Pohled na Golet v údolí ve světle Mannovy tetralogie otevírá nové možnosti interpretace tohoto Olbrachtova vrcholného díla.

The article highlights the basic ways some well-paid present-day politiciaus and publicist slant our language issue and structure reality in images. The analysis discloses the elements of propaganda in their tactics as they spread news, arguments, rumours and lies to influence public opinion. The study discredits the fable that the Ukrainians willingly switch from their language to Russian as well as shatters other myths concocted to prove that bilingualism is historically valid, that Ukraine is totally Russianised, that its population is split and polarized, that the Ukrainian language is artificial, inadequate, unspoken and dead. The false images of the situation are meant to impose a radical shift in the language of the Ukrainians and change their citizenship.
