Feminine writing is of dual nature. First, the feminist critique always bears the marks of a re-written text (we have only masculine language at our disposal); second, feminine writing would have to be completely new, different and diverse because femininity has more than one dimension. Female researches tend to point out the necessary aspect of feminine texts, which above all is the connection between writing and the female body. Woman should experience her writing through her body. Her writing should be a revolution – the beginning, the very first written word, because only thus it could overcome the constraints of the phallocentric context. In masculine rhetoric, in male language, female desires are either unspeakable or subject to irreconcilable contraries. While seemingly satisfied with attempts at feminine re-writing we have been still awaiting the creation of a feminine writing.
The article refers to the book Representations and Constructs of Childhood in the Literature and Culture of the 20th and 21st Centuries, edited by Alicja Dąbrowska, Robert Mielhorski and Beata Morzyńska-Wrzosek, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Kazimierza Wielkiego, Bydgoszcz 2022. This is a collective monograph devoted to the presentation of the image/figure of the child in fictional and intimate literature, literature for adults and for children, as well as in textbooks, theatre, photography, congratulatory cards, and painting. The way the child is portrayed in the art space is changing. Contemporary portrayals of the child fluctuate between representation and construction of his or her image, but the conviction of the creators and the awareness of the audience that any presentation is closer to creation than to “mimetic representation” seems to prevail. The authors present a wide range of approaches, which makes the book under review an interesting read.

Artykuł odnosi się do książki Reprezentacje i konstrukty dzieciństwa w literaturze oraz kulturze XX i XXI wieku, red. Alicja Dąbrowska, Robert Mielhorski, Beata Morzyńska-Wrzosek, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Kazimierza Wielkiego, Bydgoszcz 2022. To zbiorowa monografia poświęcona prezentacji obrazu/figury dziecka w literaturze fikcyjnej i intymistycznej, literaturze dla dorosłych i dla dzieci, a także w podręcznikach, w teatrze, fotografii, kartach gratulacyjnych, malarstwie. Sposób ukazywania dziecka w przestrzeni sztuki zmienia się. Współcześnie portrety dziecka wahają się między reprezentacją a konstrukcją jego obrazu, ale zdaje się przeważać przekonanie twórców i świadomość odbiorców, że każdej prezentacji jest bliżej do kreacji niż do „mimetycznego odwzorowania”. Autorzy prezentują szeroki wachlarz ujęć, co omawianą książkę czyni ciekawą lekturą.
The author reflects on the scope of the meaning of idioms “the end of the world” very of-ten used in contemporary culture. Analyses the meaning of the concept in the thought of modern philosophers and writers and ponders why the writes writing about the “the end of the world” describe always his sequel. Probably it is related with the remedy of thinking, which builds a story meandering in the time. The novel about “the end of the world” would have to remain silent.
On December 7–8, 2020, an on-line conference on the presence of the body and corporeality in everyday education was organized by the Department of Social Pedagogy of the University of Lodz and the Department of Philology of the Polish Pomeranian University in Słupsk. The interdisciplinary conference allowed educators, psychologists, literary scholars, sociologists, philosophers, and anthropologists to speak. Many issues were raised because – as it turns out – education in body awareness and bodily identity is not as obvious as it seems to be.

7–8 grudnia 2020 odbyła się zorganizowana przez Katedrę Pedagogiki Społecznej Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego i Katedrę Filologii Polskiej Akademii Pomorskiej w Słupsku konferencja on-line poświęcona obecności ciała i cielesności w codziennym wychowaniu. Konferencja zaplanowana jako interdyscyplinarna pozwoliła zabrać głos pedagogom, psychologom, literaturoznawcom, socjologom, filozofom, antropologom. Poruszano wiele zagadnień, gdyż – jak się okazuje – wychowanie w świadomości ciała i cielesnej tożsamości nie jest tak oczywiste, jakby się pozornie wydawało.
The article shows, using Bronislaw Swiderski's book The Assistant of Death as an example, the possibilities and dangers of narrative therapy. It seems that any kind of therapy is just/as a defense mechanism to help us persevere in the human condition and face its mortality. The book also points out the dangers of contemporary capitalist democracy, which mercantilises human life and death and moves towards dystopia.

Artykuł pokazuje na przykładzie książki Bronisława Świderskiego Asystent śmierci możliwości i niebezpieczeństwa terapii narracją. Zdaje się, że każdy rodzaj terapii jest tylko/aż mechanizmem obronnym, pomagającym wytrwać w ludzkiej kondycji i zmierzyć się z jej śmiertelnością. Książka opisuje też zagrożenia współczesnej demokracji kapitalistycznej, która merkantylizując ludzkie życie i śmierć, zmierza ku dystopii.
The article presents several scenes of love in erotics generation of “bruLion”. Although these lyrics are very different, they share the conviction of the impossibility of expressing love of affect, lack of new, adequate language, a good story. The lyrics focus on the presentation of almost behavioral symptoms of feeling. They try using irony, shortcut, allusions, distance, banality and hyperboles find the language of contemporary narrative of love. “Love does not know”, and if you do not know, is not able to speak, doomed to live, not to speak (love belonging to the internal order of biology, nature, instinct and passion can not find in the discourse, he did not embrace and will not carry in other words, what is real, when it passes the symbolic does not mean now what it was). However, the analyzed examples show a successful attempt to exceed the “impossibility”, and the record is proof of yet another victory in the words of the inexpressible.
The article is a reflection on the necessity of the angels presence in the history of the work of Tadeusz Nowak. It can be concluded that Nowak introduced to his poetry angels, devils, de-mons or God acts like a poet who has the right to use metaphors. But the rhetorical turn origi-nated in the mid-twentieth century by the historians of the school, “Annales” allows you to rec-ognize that everyone is equal historical discourse, he reflects – not the truth but her vision, so personal sensibility and understanding of history. Cited passages show how to interpret specific historical events (Second World War, August 1980, colliery “Wujek”, martial law...) which shall be entered in a string of history and presented as analogous to earlier events, or as a con-tinuation of a historical order, which speaks – good (or bad) the spirit of history. The history of no-divine, the story understood as the course of events from which you can not cobble together a history – stories about these events. God and the angel engaging in temporal history, called to her explanation is “transcendence small”, attuned to human understanding and naming. And that means the same extent explains the history of metaphysics (taking the form of history), as the story explains the metaphysics, as the eternal need for any sense of human events. “Angel” is an indispensable – he first assumes the view of the ruined past. Do not we watch it, because we still tell the history.
