Pregnancy is a biographically episodic time when the belly becomes the centre of thefeminine world. This time is characterized by the ambivalence of attitudes and moodswhich are not only hormonally-based but result from the very act of experiencing bodilytransition and duplicating subjectivity, which leads to perturbations connected with thedistinction between the me-body and the me-mothering body (Lewis 2013). In this articlewe analyse selected narrations by women about their bodies, pregnancy, childbirth andmaternity. We focus the analytical process on the somatic motif of the belly, which constitutesthe symbolic centre of perception of a woman’s own body during this time, its transformationsand social interactions dominating the world of the woman expecting a baby.

This paper focuses on a specific aspect of a Japanese rite of passage called Shichigosan. Although its origins go back to premodern Japan, its contemporary pattern truly reflects the modern living conditions of the Japanese. Today the ritual is one of the most popular family celebrations. Commercialization has significantly influenced the pattern of celebration in the postwar period and as a result, consumption practices have become inherent parts of the ritual. The paper examines this development from a historical perspective. Furthermore, it discusses the process through which consumption practices contribute to the event’s significance, not diminishing but rather enhancing its importance in the observers’ eyes. Conspicuous consumption thus becomes a creative two-directional process, one which is sustained by families’ aspirations and desires, and one which is informed by forces emanating from the commercial sector and from the media.

The article shows that the birth of a child is not just a physical, but also a social and cultural event. It might be considered as a rite of passage that turns women into mothers and men into fathers, and both into parents. For men, the birth of a child is a significant change in life that is commonly taken for granted. As a result, life for most men changes fundamentally with the birth of a child. In addition, many fathers see the pregnancy, birth and the months thereafter as an extremely important time in their lives, during which they turn from a man into a father. Simultaneously, many of them embrace the fact of what an enrichment the children are for their own personal development. In these months the fathers are undergoing consequent transformation processes which demand certain efforts and are sometimes painful. In the process, they train new practices of fatherhood in the familiar living together.

In the time leading up to and immediately following the collapse of the USSR, processes of national self-identification in the formerly Soviet republics were revived anew. Ideologues and culture workers mined the distant past for the raw materials with which to re-activate new forms of national identity, and also to distance themselves from the traumas of imperialism. Written and published in the midst of these processes, Berik Dzilkibayev’s 2001 work Kazakh Erotic Novel is something of a mythological text, with ritual elements symbolizing the constant evolution of the fate of nations. This article analyzes Kazakh Erotic Novel from the perspective of psychoanalytic and cognitive literary criticism, while also situating the work historically in post-independence Kazakhstan. The novel narrates the emergence of the newly-independent Kazakh state, with its heightened energy potential, onto the world stage, while simultaneously exploring the act of returning to one’s roots – to the origins of one’s ethnic group – by replicating the act of creation of a society and its accompanying sovereignty. To broadcast the competitiveness of a young Kazakh country on the world stage, the author uses erotic images and motives that have an increased aggressive potential. In Dzilkibayev’s novel the image of the enemy, the hated Soviet Empire, which served as a unifying force for the Kazakhs, takes on the form of another opponent – the West – which is presented as fundamentally opposed to an imagined Eastern mentality. This difference is attributed to structural differences between Western monotheism and Tengrism, the animist religion of the Kazakhs, which took on renewed significance in the post-Soviet era.

The axis of "The Shadow-Line" by Joseph Conrad is the issue of initiation in the seaman craft and, at the same time crossing the threshold of adulthood. The author of the article, referring to the concept of the rites of passage of van Gennep, Turner and Eliade, as well as the model of Campbell’s mythic “hero’s journey”, analyses the process and anthropological implications of this initiation and considers to what extent the rites de passage are universal, and to what extent they are contextual. The ship crew turns out to be a communitas, a community of the liminal phase of the rite of passage, and the protagonist must realize the model-archetype in concrete circumstances. Even though the plot resembles the structure of a magical tale, one may find there the cultural reality of seamen’s work and the Victorian era.

In the paper I ask whether the similarities between the institutional hazing and tribal rites of initiation, pointed to by authors who describe this phenomenon, make it possible to talk about a ritual character of the brutal phenomenon of how freshmen are treated by older students, and if they do, then how can it translate into potential preventive measures. I discuss this issue based on the example of hazing at school. Having chosen the distinctive features of the rites of passage as my point of reference, I refer to school hazing as a pseudo-rite and I recommend taking into account its ritual character and the non-ritual objectives it completes in the preventive and repair measures at school.

Poland is currently experiencing a growth in the number of humanist marriages: strongly individualized, mostly secular unions. So far, the described phenomenon has been analysed mainly through the prism of many different dimensions like secularity, class stratification or the resistance of minorities against the hegemony of the Roman Catholic Church. It seems that the nature of humanist ceremonies has been taken for granted, and that researchers, in their analyses, merely considered these to be rites of passage. In this paper, I ask questions not only about the content of the ceremonies, but also about their forms. I consider these two elements as integral. I put forward the claim that humanist marriages are a hybrid phenomenon, and thus the category of ‘social performance’ added to the category of ‘ritual’ opens up new analytical tracks and enables, to a greater extent, a more precise identification of the innovative character of these ceremonies.

Metamorphic nature of death in B. Stankovicʼs novel Sophka (Impure Blood) The paper shifts the focus of research on B. Stankovic’s novel Sophka (Impure Blood) from a naturalistic to a mythopoetic approach. Sophka’s double destructive nature is being related to Eros and Thanatos. Eroto-thanatic symbolization of body and space in which Sophka exists is being analyzed as well as Sophka’s double sacrifice: obedience to the so-called Law of the Father in patriarchal environment on one side, and self-giving to Black Eros, Male from the Darkness on the other. In Stankovic’s novel Thanatos and Eros are like Siamese twins, inseparable, and the world of the heroine, in which they rule, is being portrayed through their metamorphic emanations. Sophka herself is interpreted through both matriarchal and patriarchal principles. As for the matriarchal principle, she represents a personification of a dangerous and fatal woman (one of the characters regards her as a fatal nymph, while another seeks salvation in death). Through the patriarchal principle she is interpreted as a victim of a phallogocentric patriarchal world.

PL

Metamorficzość śmierci w powieści Nieczysta krew Borisava Stankovicia W analizie powieści Bory Stankovicia Nieczysta krew uwaga badawcza została przeniesiona z perspektywy naturalistycznej na mitopoetykę. Podwójny charakter Sofki prowadzi do związku z Erosem i Tanatosem. Analizie poddany został zatem proces erotycznej i tanatycznej symbolizacji ciała i przestrzeni, w której funkcjonuje Sofka, a także jej podwójne cierpienie związane z jednej strony z posłuszeństwem wobec Prawa Ojca w środowisku patriarchalnym, a z drugiej — z poddaniem się Czarnemu Erosowi, Mężczyźnie z Ciemności. W utworze Stankovicia Tanatos i Eros są z sobą nierozerwalnie połączeni, niczym bliźniacy syjamscy, a świat bohaterki, nad którą mają władzę, został ukazany poprzez ich metaforyczne emanacje. Postać Sofki można z kolei rozpatrywać poprzez pryzmat zasady matriarchatu, rozumianego jako niebezpieczne, śmiercionośne kobiece prawo (jeden z bohaterów postrzega Sofkę jako zabójczą nimfę, inny szuka ratunku przed nią w śmierci), jak i przez pryzmat patriarchatu — jako ofiarę fallocentrycznego patriarchalnego świata.

This article aims to provide in-depth analysis of one of the most overlooked Andrzej Wajda’s films Panna Nikt, which is an adaption of Tomek Tryzna’s novel. In reference to Don Fredericksen’s concept of liminality of the director’s cinema, the author of the article examines the motifs of initiation in the movie. Wajda had a double reason for representing the rite of passage: to tell a story of a girl in her puberty period and to create a metaphor of Poland after the transformation in 1989. Although the director was critical towards cultural changes and the influences of the western pop culture, he tried to capture the audience attention by the use of postmodern aesthetics. Because of this Panna Nikt is full of contradictions and could be regarded as an expression of Wajda’s own, artistic liminality.

A journey as a component of rites of passages in Kornel Makuszyński’s novels for girls The article is an attempt to present the theme of a journey in Kornel Makuszyński’s three novels for girls considered as a component of rites of passage. As scholars claim, novel for girls has an initiatory nature, because their aim is to prepare readers for their future women’s roles. Therefore, discussing them in rites of passage context seems justified. There are a few elements of rites of passage, such as greeting or farewell. Their presence in Kornel Makuszyński’s novels in combination with change which happens to the characters, may testify to their passage nature. Also, the destinations of girls’ journeys is significant for the epoque in which the novels were written as well as for the author’s biography. Zakopane in particular was a very special place for Makuszyński. Its presence in his novels is by no means accidential and the fact that it generates a change in one of the character’s life, is meaningful. In each novel there are at least two journeys; the first one makes a prelude to the main one, long and mostly solitary , which may be a component of rites of passage.

Aims.The research aims to reconstruct the phases of the new ritual of graduation in Italy to fully understand if there are a variety of social forms and conventions (linked to symbolic aspects) to be satisfied and if there are elements of ambiguity. Methods.Using ethnographic technique, I chose to develop on the one hand a thick description of the ritual that highlights the "stratified hierarchy of significant structures" (Geertz 1998) while on the other I tried to develop a comparative methodology that takes into account - both temporal and spatial level - of some of the different graduation ritual models that exist and have existed. Results. The analysis shows that there is a lack of consistency between the new degree model and the new graduation ceremony model. Furthermore, in the one hand, the liminal theatricality of the rite satisfies the demands of collective catharsis; on the other hand, there are some ambivalences and there is a lack of consistency between the conventions (and its symbolisms) in the ceremony and the university experiences that students could have in Italy. Lastly, the moral entrepreneurs paid too little attention to the original meanings of the model of celebration from which it draws and its criticality. Conclusions.Rituals in the educational field are very important socio-cultural forms of production of meanings whose modification could be more satisfactory if there was a greater reflection on the original educational models and if, in this reflection, they were involved a large number of subjects belonging to different groups.

The article constitutes a preliminary attempt at reading from literature the condition of the survivors – people interned in German displaced persons’ camps immediately after WWII. In that context, the author considers the saturated with satire, grotesque, and sarcasm novel by Tadeusz Nowakowski entitled Obóz Wszystkich Świętych. Nowakowski’s vision is supplemented with Tadeusz Borowski’s story entitled Bitwa pod Grunwaldem, as well as his poems, e.g. Dary demokratyczne, and Jerzy Podgórski’s reports in the series W południowych Niemczech, in which DP camps were compared to an etching by Henry Moore presenting human-like figures sleeping in a tunnel. A separate consideration was applied to the fortunes of Ida Fink, interned in the Ettlingen camp. The writer reminisced on the time in her novel entitled The Journey, and in interviews. The analyses of the texts led the author to the conclusion that the discussed narratives indicate the inability to experience solace during (apparent) acquittal, and the inability to return to pre-WWII times.

This article aims to encourage new interpretative readings of Stanisław Wyspiański’s play The Wedding. Special emphasis is put on accentuating the role of the wedding ritual as a rite of passage, highlighting the often underappreciated role of female characters inscribed into the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, and underscores the symbolism of the element of air and wind in the play. Finally, the article evokes personal and familial reminiscences of the reception of the play on the theatre stage.

Autorka przywołuje też osobiste i rodzinne wspomnienia związane z odbiorem dzieła Wyspiańskiego w teatrze.

„Szalonemu Piotrusiowi” Jeana-Luca Godarda warto się przyjrzeć, odwołując się do terminu liminalności, stosowanego przez Victora Turnera. Film zrealizowany został w 1965 roku, a zatem wpisuje się w nurt Francuskiej Nowej Fali. Najistotniejsza w konstrukcji dzieł kina francuskiego tego okresu była nowatorska forma. Charakteryzuje ją odmienny styl kadrowania, sposób montażu, używanie trzęsącej się kamery „z ręki” czy rezygnacja ze sztucznego oświetlenia na rzecz naturalnego. Artykuł analizuje film Godarda odwołując się do antropologicznych teorii rytuałów przejścia w kulturze.

„Pierrot the madman” Jeana-Luca Godarda is worth looking at referring to the limitation term used by Victor Turner. „Pierrot the madman” was made in 1965 and therefore belongs to the trend of the French New Wave. The most important issue of French cinema was the innovative form - different style of framing (not focusing on the beauty of the place but on its real appearance), the way of assembly (breaking the continuity on the axis of movement), using a shaking camera from the hand or abandoning artificial lighting to the natural. The article analyzes Godard’s film by referring to the rite of passage in culture.

In the Danish educational system, it is possible to enter an academic master’s programme on the basis of a professional bachelor’s degree combined with some years in the job market, for example as a social educator. These adult students share lectures with the younger university students but are challenged on several levels. The aim of the article is to understand how adult students approach the pursuit of a second degree, using a sociological perspective. Based on biographic interviews with mature students at the Danish School of Education, an analysis of their backgrounds, the paths their lives’ follow, and the narratives on which they draw, it is shown how their endeavours can be construed as a rite of passage. It demonstrates how the individual students’ life courses include factors that influence not only the content of their studies, but also their life expectations.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zrozumienie z perspektywy socjologicznej podejścia dorosłych osób do edukacji na studiach magisterskich. Wywiady biograficzne z dojrzałymi studentami Duńskiej Szkoły Edukacji, analizy uprzednich doświadczeń tych osób, ich dróg życiowych oraz historii, do których się odwołują, pozwoliły zinterpretować ich działania jako rytuał przejścia. Autorka pokazuje też, jak drogi życiowe poszczególnych studentów wpływają nie tylko na treść ich studiów, ale także na życiowe oczekiwania.

During his time in the army, Vigny noticed the slow and inevitable disappearance of the old grumblers. For him, these antique men are both archaic and noble, which is why, with Servitude et grandeur militaires, he tries to criticize the military institution, and record the teachings of these veterans simultaneously. These men represent a particular type of master, as their teachings must be both received and surpassed. Following the logic of rites of passage, we propose an ethnocritic reading of Vigny’s poetic, and try to reconstruct the narrative architecture of a pedagogical experience. We believe the latter is organized around the presence of liminal characters which serve as transmitters. We then study the narrator’s critical appropriation of these teachings, which we read as a mise en abyme of the critical attitude to which Vigny invites his readers. This way, we bring out the formative value of the fiction of that romantic writer.

Pendant son passage dans l’armée, Vigny a constaté la lente et inévitable disparition des vieux grognards. Ces hommes au caractère antique lui apparaissaient à la fois archaïques et nobles, c’est pourquoi, avec Servitude et grandeur militaires, il cherche à la fois à critiquer l’institution militaire et à conserver les enseignements de ces vétérans. Ces hommes sont présentés comme des maîtres à penser d’une nature particulière, ils sont à la fois des exemples à suivre et à dépasser. Suivant la logique des rites initiatiques, nous proposons une lecture ethnocritique de la poétique vignyenne qui s’attarde à reconstruire l’architecture narrative d’une expérience pédagogique. Celle-ci se structure autour de la présence de personnages liminaires servant de passeurs. Nous nous penchons ensuite sur l’appropriation critique de ces enseignements par le narrateur, appropriation que nous lisons comme une mise en abyme de l’attitude critique auquel Vigny convie ses lecteurs. Nous faisons ainsi ressortir la visée formatrice de l’écriture romanesque de l’écrivain romantique.

The article addresses the issue of the journey made by Queen Barbara Radziwiłł (152–1551, crowned on 7 December 1550), the second wife of King Sigismund II Augustus (1520–1572, ruled from 1548). Polish historiography raises the question of queens’ journeys only incidentally, and it is a rare approach to see journeys not only as traversing space and crossing geographical and political borders, but also in their symbolic dimension. The most important, and requiring the crossing of the greatest number of real and symbolic boundaries, was the “honeymoon” journey to her husband’s fatherland. The itinerary from Vilnius to Cracow, even though it was made not by a fiancée, but a wife, and although it was prolonged and required additional and long stops for Barbara on her way (Radom, Nowe Miasto Korczyn), includes some usual stages marked by a set of rites of passage. During her stay in Cracow, Barbara and her husband undertook numerous trips to nearby Niepołomice, which were a clear escape from difficulties and rigours of living in the Wawel castle. On the one hand, the royal couple – unlike the majority of monarchs – could spend their time almost in private. On the other hand though, the visits to Niepołomice increased Radziwiłłówna’s adaptation difficulties, and exposed the king to reproaches about neglecting his duties. Sigismund Augustus authenticated his wife’s final journey from Cracow to Vilnius as a posthumous triumph, where – in accordance with her wishes – she was laid to rest.

PL

W artykule poruszono kwestię podróży królowej Barbary Radziwiłłówny (1523–1551, koronowana 7 XII 1550), drugiej żony króla Zygmunta II Augusta (1520–1572, panował od 1548 r.). W polskiej historiografii zagadnienie podróży królowych podejmowane było incydentalnie, a do rzadkości należą ujęcia, które widzą podróż nie tylko jako przemierzanie przestrzeni i przekraczanie granic geograficznych i politycznych, ale w wymiarze symbolicznym. Podróże podejmowane przez Radziwiłłównę uznać należy z jednej strony za odbiegające od europejskiego i polskiego standardu ze względu na nierówność stanową małżonków i powszechną niechęć do królowej oraz z uwagi na silne uczucie, które żywił do niej Zygmunt August, a także krótki okres, jaki spędziła u jego boku. Z drugiej strony, mimo tych charakterystycznych okoliczności, swoją warstwą symboliczną jak najbardziej wpisują się w europejską tradycję i obyczaj. Najważniejszą i wymagającą przekroczenia największej liczby rzeczywistych i symbolicznych granic, bogatą w rytuały przejścia (rites de passage), była podróż „ślubna” do ojczyzny męża. Ta podróż z Wilna do Krakowa, mimo że odbyła ją nie narzeczona, ale żona, i mimo że była rozciągnięta w czasie i wymagała dodatkowych, długich postojów Barbary w drodze (Radom, Nowe Miasto Korczyn), zawiera zwyczajowe etapy podróży ślubnej, znaczone szeregiem rytuałów przejścia. W czasie pobytu w Krakowie Barbara przedsiębrała wraz z mężem liczne podróże do nieodległych Niepołomic, które stanowiły wyraźną ucieczkę przed trudnościami i rygorami życia na Wawelu. Z jednej strony królewska para, inaczej niż większość koronowanych głów, mogła spędzać czas niemal prywatny. Z drugiej, pobyty w Niepołomicach potęgowały trudności adaptacyjne Radziwiłłówny, a króla narażały na zarzut zaniedbywania obowiązków. Charakter pośmiertnego triumfu Zygmunt August nadał ostatniej podróży żony z Krakowa do Wilna, gdzie – zgodnie z własnym życzeniem – spoczęła po śmierci.
