The aim of the article is to analyse the motif of an angel in the chosen texts in Polish and foreign literature, reproduce the image of the angel created in the researched texts and language and indicate the changes occuring in this image within the space of years. The introduction of angel symbolism on the space of centuries is the starting point here. The article shows the evolution of the stereotypical picture of the angel and ends with the criteria according to which the image in the texts has been created.

This paper discusses the theoretical concept of the “anthropology of image” by Hans Belting. Contrary to the traditional art history that had chosen the artistic structure as the research objective, Belting noticed that within the archaic cultures, the meaning had been granted to an image not only through the visual appreciation, but also through action centered on manifestation (“making presence”), and carried on in the process of symbolization. While one can agree with the broad message of Beltings theory, the details amount to regress in anthropologically oriented studies of archaic art.

I propose here an image of knowledge based on the concept of symbol: according to it, the relation of representation that constituting cognition is a symbolization. It is pos-tulated that both the representing conceptual model, i.e. a pre-linguistic entity acquired in cognition, and the true sentence it generates are of symbolic and not of mirroring (copying) character. The symbolic nature of cognition carries dialectical tension. We have at our disposal conceptual models and true sentences which symbolically represent reality. However, it is not possible to lift the symbolic disguise over knowledge, be-cause precisely this disguise is its essence. Reality appears only as symbolically, non-imitatively encoded. The proposed here symbolic realism rejects the traditional adopted dichotomy between, on one side, realism and the absence of the subject’s factors in the cognitive result, and, on the other, idealism and the subject as a factor which is viewed as inevitably leading to the idealistic nature of knowledge.

Przedmiotem artykułu pt.: „Zapomniany symbol. Zmiany statusu prawnego Chorągwi Rzeczypospolitej” jest swoisty regres, jaki stał się udziałem tego symbolu państwowego, wskazanie na determinujące zmiany okoliczności prawne oraz, nie mniej istotne, okoliczności faktyczne. Chorągiew Rzeczypospolitej, ustanowiona w 1919 r., zaliczana wówczas do godeł państwowych, formalnie została zniesiona w 1955 r. W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym miała status chorągwi państwowej oraz osobistego znaku Naczelnika Państwa, a później Prezydenta RP. Od stycznia 1996 r. flaga niemalże identyczna z wzorem Chorągwi Rzeczypospolitej z 1927 r. funkcjonuje jako Proporzec Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej - symbol wojskowy, którego używanie podlega licznym i nie do końca zrozumiałym ograniczeniom. Niski status regulacji prawnych normujących wzór oraz okoliczności użycia proporca sprawia, ze jest on Polakom niemal nieznany. Pewna popularyzacja Proporca Prezydenta RP nastąpiła w związku z katastrofą prezydenckiego samolotu w Smoleńsku (10 kwietnia 2010 r.). Nadal jednak mało kto ma świadomość, że Rzeczpospolita Polska nie posiada oficjalnej chorągwi, a jednocześnie funkcjonuje nawiązujący do jej dawnego wzoru znak wojskowy.

The Banner of the Republic of Poland established in August 1919 was asignated to the Chief of State and afterwards to the President of the Republic of Poland. It was also used during momentous state ceremonies. The Banner of the Republic of Poland established on the 27th December 1927 was used ex¬clusively by the President of the Republic of Poland – with the exception of the funeral of Józef Piłsudski when it covered the marshal’s coffin. The banner was taken away to London in 1939 by President Ignacy Mościcki. It was used by the emigre presidents between 1945 and 1990. It was conveyed to President Lech Wałęsa on the 22nd December 1990 by the last emigre president, Ryszard Kaczorowski. Under the communist regime in Poland the flag of the head of the state was used. It was a banner based on the banner of 1927, though without a crown on ea¬gle’s head. It was introduced without any legal regulations. During President Bolesław Bierut’s term of Office it flew over his headquarter. It was officially abolished in 1955, though later on it was used by the prime minister and by the president of the State Council in the 60’s. In post-communist Poland a new flag was established, the present pattern of the coat of arms is consistent with that of 1989, though the crown was returned to the eagle’s head. Similar alterations affected the military flags and other special flags. One of the special flags is the Pennant of the President of the Republic of Poland, the pattern of which was defined in January 1996.

The example of Mogila’a personal involvement in the cause of revival and reunification of Eastern Christianity in the Republic of Poland in the first half of the 17th century into one organism wins recognition among the supporters of the religious idea of unity. On the other hand, the methods that he used in the realization of his conception o f bringing the Churches together are an object of controversy among the Orthodox faithful. That is why today it is impossible to say univocally whether the Orthodox metropolitan can be a symbol of reconciliation.

The article presents Kenneth Burke's concept of literary form. According to Burke, literary form arouses and fulfills reader's desires. Burke presents several types or aspects of form, such as syllogistic progression, qualitative progression, repetitive form, conventional form and minor form. On the one hand, this repertoire of apparently heterogenic literary forms is compatible with traditional literary terms, but on the other hand, the notion of literary form can be applied, in Kantian manner, to human experience and sensual perception in general. Therefore, the question about the specificity of literature and the relation of form and content emerges. One of the suggested answers is that the function of literature is to propose symbols, which are patterns of human experience and play a compensatory role.

This article is devoted to show the common grounds of Czech and other European literature. Images of birds have an imposing tradition of use in Czech literature. They are characterized by a variety of meanings and history of existence. There are both traditional and everyday folklore images, such as mythologeme of raven for the first one, and geese for the second, which have different semantic workloads. Discussion of the image of birds in the Czech literature is the basement of conclusions about the common ground that brings Czech and European literature together. Moreover, it also gives us more details about Czech national identity, the specifics of its literary schools and movements and the originality of the author’s vision of the world.

The tragic fate of the village of Lidice and its population is an important part of the narrative of modern Czech history. After the exemplary massacre of the population and physical destruction of the village, Lidice quickly became an international symbol of Nazi brutality. In the aftermath of WWII, this was exploited by the Czechoslovak government to its own advantage. But besides the public proclamations of politicians, there arose the real problem of how to provide decent accommodation for the women and children of Lidice who survived the massacre. Building the new village became one of the architectural priorities of post-war Czechoslovakia. Architects were able to apply to this construction process practical and theoretical experience they had acquired before the war, and under the Protectorate, as it was in that period that the concept of the modern village became the subject of professional interest among many Czech architects who took part in ‘regional competitions’. Architects therefore had the qualified training with which to solve the relatively unusual task in 20th-century architecture of creating a new village. They had the chance to present their visions in 1945 in a public competition whose purpose was to find the proper location and the best urban design and architectural concept for the new village and an adjacent memorial site. The complex nature of this exacting assignment required a realistic plan for the optimal form of future settlement for the women of Lidice, which would neighbour a memorial site to commemorate for the tragedy in their lives. It is possible to identify in the plans and in the many ideas for the new settlement the traces of principles inspired by the concept of a garden city.

Tragický osud obce Lidice a jejích obyvatel je důležitou součástí narativu českých moderních dějin. Poměrně záhy po zahájení demonstrativní likvidace obyvatel a vyhlazení fyzické podstaty obce se Lidice staly mezinárodním symbolem nacistické krutosti. Po skončení války byl tento potenciál v Československu dále intenzivně rozvíjen politickou reprezentací. Ovšem vedle veřejných projevů politiků vyvstal brzy reálný problém s důstojným ubytováním přeživších obyvatelek Lidic a jejich dětí. Budování nové obce se tak stalo jedním z prioritních architektonických úkolů v poválečném Československu. V procesu výstavby nových Lidic mohli architekti zúročit své praktické i teoretické zkušenosti nabyté ještě v období před válkou, ale rovněž i v období protektorátu. Právě tehdy se totiž koncepce moderní vesnice stala předmětem odborného zájmu mnoha českých tvůrců, kteří se zapojili do několika tzv. regionálních soutěží. Proto byli architekti na řešení poměrně specifického zadání, jakým bylo v kontextu architektury 20. století právě založení nové vsi, kvalifikovaně připraveni. Své vize mohli uplatnit už v roce 1945 ve veřejné soutěži, jejímž účelem bylo nejen nalezení vhodné lokality, ale zejména urbanistického schématu a architektonického pojetí nové obce i přilehlého pietního místa. Komplexnost náročného zadání si žádala realistickou projekci optimální formy budoucího osídlení pro lidické ženy v sousedství památníku, který bude trvale připomínat jejich životní tragédii. V přemíře podnětů, které mělo nové sídlo integrovat, a v jejich řešení lze mnohdy vysledovat ideová východiska čerpající inspiraci z reflexe koncepce zahradního města.

The article is an attempt to reconstruct a symbolic significance of the fire in life of polish family between XIII and XVIII centuries. On the basis of analyze of rich ceremonialism, which can be found in home, household and church space, some types of this element were defined by way of example. The basic merit of a fire is its consumer value, which providing family with life was the base of assessment and creating of additional sense. In symbolic stratum the main role played a ritual fire, which being a part of receiving ritual admitted new members of community (for example, children, women) . There was a fire in magical acts and fortune-telling in everyday practice. Made cyclically or by accident purifying fire protected house and cattle from contagion, dark forces and animal pests. Fire is also a destructive power, of which man was afraid and from which protected his family. The value of flame was also an area of death. Ritual gestures and acts usually used element’s substitutes like candle, smoke, ashes and stove. The rich symbolism of fire, its multi-aspect using and great variety of forms are an evidence of importance of this element in a family’s community space.

This article analyses a translation of one of Adam Mickiewicz’s Sonnets from the Crimea made by Yuri Kouznetsov, a famous Russian poet. It is not incidental that some Polish toponyms coincide with personal names mentioned in Kouznetsov’s poetry. The author of the article examines the system of symbols that Kouznetsov resorts to in his texts concerning either Polish themes or stories. It is concluded that in one of his philosophical verses Kouznetsov proclaimed Polish and German culture to have messianic value.

Throughout the centuries, the more-than-literal interpretation of the Bible was present in the tradition of the Church. Symbols made out of biblical literary motifs expressed deep theological and human concepts. They made visible what otherwise was invisible. Our article presents three symbols rooted in the biblical text that acquired new spiritual meanings in the ancient and medieval interpretation of the Scripture: wings, tree and bow.

In the christian antiquity the word sacrament designated any sacred sign. The Bible can be considered as a sign of the love between God and the Church. In our article we analyze the symbols created in connection with the more-than-literal interpretation ofthe Song of Songs. The different aspects o f the loving relation between the Bridegroom and the Bride have been interpreted by the ancient and medieval commentators in the light of the role that the Bible plays in the relation between Jesus and the Church or Jesus and the human soul.

Pięć alegorii przedstawionych w niniejszym artykule wprowadza nas w świat wczesnochrześcijańskiej symboliki na usługach teologii. Ojcowie Kościoła i średniowieczni komentatorzy Biblii widzieli w niej nie tylko wydarzenia historyczne, które miały miejsce przed wiekami, ale przede wszystkim Słowo Boga, który mówi do nich wciąż w sposób aktualny. Prowadzili swoisty dialog z tekstem Pisma świętego: na słowo Boże odpowiadali własnym słowem, a więc skojarzeniami, które tekst biblijny wywoływał w ich wyobraźni. Te skojarzenia były nieraz zaskakujące, a dziś mogą być niejednokrotnie trudne do przyjęcia dla współczesnego człowieka, niemniej jednak stworzyły one fascynującą aurę wokół pierwotnego, historycznego sensu Biblii. Zastanawiając się nad miejscem narodów świata oraz Izraela w historii zbawienia, wczesnochrześcijańska symbolika pomaga nam zrozumieć ich wzajemną relację w oczach starożytnego i średniowiecznego Kościoła. Może to ubogacić nasze współczesne postrzeganie związku pomiędzy Kościołem a Narodem Żydowskim i wpisać je w wielowiekowy nurt tradycji chrześcijańskiej.
