Historiozofia zagłady. Uwagi do „Kleopatry i Cezara” Norwida Grabowski, Mateusz The main problem which is analyzed in the article is how Norwid presents the clash of two civilizations – ancient Egypt and Rome. In Norwid’s tragedy the death of culture is preceded by the death of transcendence – communities which have lost contact with the sacrum are sentencing themselves to a slow atrophy, which shall result in the collapse of civilizations. The hecatomb in Norwid’s tragedy is evoked by a series of symbols and gestures. The characters of the drama, who represent both great ancient nations, become aware by looking into the empty sky that their time is coming to the end, their life is only a part of tragic and historic fate. However, their death belongs with the Hegelian idea of the development of the spirit in history – ancient world needs to be destroyed so that Christianity could take its place.

„Balladyna”, czyli o próbie karnawalizacji literatury romantycznej Kurska, Anna The article presents Juliusz Słowacki’s attempts to free “Balladyna” from the pathos of the patriotic form. The poet achieves this by exploiting and confronting diverse strategies: Shakespearean and Ariostan irony as well as the carnivalization poetics. Not only do they allow Słowacki to expand his artistic freedom, but the drama also breaks free of the cultural shackles of pathos and solemnity. Moreover, these strategies make the drama more appealing owing to laughter which violates the ‘sacred’ status of a Romantic work. In “Balladyna”, Słowacki offers a carnivalistic formula of ‘play-literature’, challenging the stereotypical notions and expectations of the readership and striving to revolutionize native art. By means of irony and laughter, the poet distances himself from the ideas of Polish Romanticism, creating a new model of a literary work that aesthetically goes beyond the 19th century.

„Tam, gdzie dramat się staje” – „Balladyna” Tadeusza Kantora Skrzypczak, Magdalena During World War II, in Cracow, Tadeusz Kantor co-founded the Clandestine Independent Theatre. At the same time, he became a leader of a group of the young artists. Because of Nazi occupation it was a truly harsh time for art. But still artists organised meetings, during which they discussed cultural news, popular ideas, avant-garde art trends etc. Hectic rehearsals took place in private apartments. At that time, Kantor decided to re-read carefully and direct “Balladyna” – a great work of Romanticism written by Juliusz Słowacki. Even though in the 1940s Kantor was under the influence of avant-garde. Abstract art, Russian and German constructivism, Romantic ideas and symbolism were still important for him. Therefore he had to find his own artistic expression and that was the right moment for the challenge – he rediscovered “Balladyna” and regenerated a Romantic essence in the abstract “entourage”.

„Pan Hrabia jak Diogenes z latarnią szuka człowieka” – miejsce i rola ciała w kształtowaniu tożsamości bohaterów dramatu „Horsztyński” Juliusza Słowackiego Ciechańska, Magdalena The article is an attempt to interpret one of the most fascinating works of Juliusz Słowacki – “Horsztyński” drama. The basis of the interpretation is carnality. The main issue of the article is the designation of the role of carnality in the construction of subjectivity of the drama’s characters. The article is divided into four sections, whose titles are quotes from the drama. Each of them concerns some issues related to the category of carnality: connection of jesters’ appearance with their spiritual degeneration, presence and soothing touch, physical suffering, and the relation body-soulspirit. Considerations in the article aim to answer the question of the continuity of existence and the relation of awareness to the body.
