Scientific connections between Polish People’s Republic and The Second Yugoslavia were a very important element of the bilateral relations between both countries. The mechanisms and rules of the scientific cooperation were similar to the rules and mechanisms of the cultural cooperation and faced the same constraints and possibilities. Types of inst...
Croatian literature and culture belong to the three neighboring civilizational and cultural circles: the Mediterranean, the Central European and the Balkanian. The role of each respective circle and the proportions among them depend on the place and the historical context in question. In both diachronic and synchronic perspectives, Croatian culture...

Problem rada hrvatskih redatelja u inozemstvu vrlo je složeno i kompleksno područje istraživanja komparatističke naravi – u smislu kretanja po višekulturnom i višejezičnom prostoru te s obzirom na višediskurzivnost, znakovnu višekodnost kazališnog djela kao njegove ontološke značajke. Zanimljiv je ali i težak za otkrivanje, analizu i interpretaciju...

The whole analyzed period of literary and cultural ties between Croatia and Poland is not uniform. It should be divided into five sub-periods: 1) 1944-1948 – from the inception of the Polish People’s Republic to the adoption of the Cominform Resolution; 2) 1949-1955 – the stage of conflict between Belgrade and Moscow; 3) 1956-1962 – the normalisati...
After 1990 the translations of the Croatian war writings relatively seldom appear in Polish translations of Croatian literature. In the realm of lyrics the translation of Stamać & Sanader‘s book "U ovom strašnom času. Antologija hrvatske ratne lirike" is the most importanat publication. In this article two translations of Tadijanović‘ poem entitled...
Anti-Utopia as a category of consciousness relies, at the aesthetic level, upon the category of grotesque. Grotesque, owing to its structural properties (esp. the principle of inadequacy / contradiction, corresponding to the nature of the anti-utopian vision, which shows the discrepancy between the practically realized utopia and human possibilitie...
Kroatywni. Dramat chorwacki po 1990 roku. Wybór tekstów powstał na podstawie antologii współczesnego dramatu chorwackiego zatytułowanej Odbrojavanje (Odliczanie). Zestawił ją Leo Rafolt, a wydała w 2007 roku Zagrzebska Szkoła Slawistyczna. Leo Rafolt jest również autorem wstępu do niniejszego wyboru, wstępu, który ma na celu zaprezentowanie polskie...
There are two stereotypes in the reception of Croatian literature in the period of 1944—1956. Yugoslavia was a political ally for Comunist and Slavic countries in the begining. After 1948, after the Cominform Resolution of June 28th, it became one of their worst enemies. In the first period from 1944 to 1948 the Yugoslav authors present literature...
Osamdeste godine, unatoc nemirnoj političkoj i financijskoj situaciji u kojoj su se nalazile i Poljska i Jugoslavija, jedno je od najživljih razdoblja u povijesti poljsko-hrvatskih kulturnih veza. Za prevodilačku književnost znači čak najbolju dekadu, s najvećim brojem prevedenih knjiga i s vrlo ambicioznim i prevodilački zahtjevnim projektima (pri...
In modernism studies in the past decade, reflections on the supra-regional, formational characteristics of European modernism have been increasingly counterbalanced by comparative research focused on local distinctiveness, particular historical-literary claims, terminological antinomies, and the historical-cultural specificity of regional modernism...
Translators are a part of institutionalized translation literature together with organizations of translators, literary critics, publishing houses, and magazines. They played a very important role in The Polish People’s Republic. The Polish Communist Party treated them as nest of oppositionists. The first organization of translators, Association of...

This article describes the person and works of Miljenko Jergović — a contemporary Croatian and Bosnian writer. Since the fali of Yugoslavia the author of the famous collection of short stories entitled Sarajevski Marlboro has consistently demonstrated his pluralistic identity, thus protesting against the attempts at negating the polyphonic and hybr...
This article is devoted to the analysis of one of the aspects of language employed in Croatian literary studies. The phenomenon which draws special attention is a very common usage of spatial terminology in this language. Literary theoreticians who use this terminology borrow it from contexts in which it appears in anthropological geography, ethnol...
Chorwacja lat osiemdziesiątych XX wieku to kontynuacja ubiegłorocznej publikacji poświęconej wcześniejszemu dziesięcioleciu. Tak jak poprzednio, znalazły się w niej teksty jednego z tomów wydawanych cyklicznie przez Zagrzebską Szkołę Slawistyczną, tym razem zatytułowanego Sintaksa hrvatskog jezika / Književnost i kultura osamdesetih.

Predstava “Hamleta” u selu Mrduša Donja is the most popular Croatian and former Yugoslav drama and play in Poland. The Polish translation of Predstva… was published in the magazine Dialog (nr. 1/1975) and then in 1988 in the book Antologia współczesnego dramatu jugosłowiańskiego. The first play was realised in Zielona Góra in 1975, the last one in...
There are two Polish translations of Andrić’s short story U musafirhani. First one by Maria Znatowicz-Szczepańska was published in 1937. Second one by Alija Dukanović, Bosnian who settled and lived in Poland, was published in 1966. The story presents two Bosnians communities: Catholics and Muslims. The analysis of these two translations shows that...
Translation as an Act of Subversion: About one of the Polish Translations of Historical Tragedy Zriny by Theodor Körner
The object of the analysis in this article is one of the Polish translations of historical tragedy of Theodor Körner entitled Zriny. The German author’s piece has been at least six times translated into Polish language and was —...
The interwar period of literary contacts between Croatia and Poland, due to the role played by the author of a famous diary Eight years in Warsaw, can be called the Benešić time. The explanation of a phenomena of the Polish Benešić's activity and it’s the most important project – Yugoslav library (publishing series), can be found in the attitude he...
There are five periods in the history of literary and cultural ties between Croatia and Poland: the first from the 14th to the end of the 18th century, the second from the 19th century to 1914, the third from 1918 to 1939, the fourth from 1944 to 1989, and the fifth from 1990 to the present day. As the history of Croatian literature is divided into...
The interwar period was the first time that through translations and the reception of foreign literatures, cultural contacts became the subject of global interest for state foreign policy. Croatian literature was one of the literatures of the first Yugoslavia, and at that time Polish-Yugoslav political relations were strong enough for creating cult...
Poljsku kazališnu recepciju Miroslava Krleže obilježava nesklad između emisije i recepcije, koji se uostalom ne odnosi samo na dramsko stvaralaštvo autora Glembajevih. Velik broj prijevoda Krležinih književnih tekstova nije popraćen dovoljno dobrim ocjenama koje bi potvrdile i obrazložile velik interes za tog pisca. U mnogim recenzijama u drugom ra...
U radu se prikazuje nazočnost Nikole Šubića Zrinskog u poljskoj kulturi analizom književnih, znanstvenih i popularnoznanstvenih tekstova (književna djela, povijesne knjige, natuknice u enciklopedijama) koji potječu iz različitih razdoblja, od XIX. stoljeća do danas. Proučavanje nazočnosti Nikole Šubića Zrinskog u poljskoj kulturi obuhvaćalo je uvid...
Thomas Hobbes, engleski filozof iz 17. stoljeća, autor filozofskog traktata Levijatan, napisao je da se znanje sastoji u tome da se vidi kako neka stvar nastaje, zahvaljujući kojim razlozima, na koji način . Ovaj članak nije interpretacija kazališne predstave, dramskog teksta, njegova unutarjezičnog, međujezičnog ili međuznakovnog prijevoda, recepc...
In the period under investigation Croatian and Polish cultural contacts covered principally literature, music, film, theatre, and visual arts. Cultural relationships with abroad were part of the foreign policy of the communist state that was totally in charge of this sphere. Its institutions dealt with creating programs, carrying them out and finan...
The world we live in seems to be created for comparative-translation studies. There is real revolution, the change of system in the humanities and philology studies; there is the end of one world and the beginning of new digital era. Research methods and research themes are changing. On the one hand literature has lost its position in society and t...
There were translated about thirty books of Serbian literature in the period from 2007 to 2013, most of them were books of poetry. There were little number of translations in the literary magazines and journals. The number of translations is quite big but the reception of Serbian literature and culture was weak. The wars which accompanied the decay...

The period between 1944 and 1989 is already a closed chapter of the history of Polish culture during which it was subject to numerous restrictions, among other, ideological ones. The leading theme of the very book is a small fragment of the PRL reality, the sphere of...
Oddajemy w Państwa ręce książkę, która zawiera artykuły dotyczące różnorodnych aspektów życia kulturalnego, społecznego i politycznego w Chorwacji lat siedemdziesiątych XX wieku. zaproponowane ramy czasowe często wymagają szerszego spojrzenia i uwzględnienia, z jednej strony, kontekstu jugosłowiańskiego, gdyż Chorwacja wchodziła wówczas w skład Tit...
Vjetar, dakle zrak koji pokreće snaga prirode, ljudsko biće ili možda Bog, obuhvaća različite pojave: od božanstvenog daha i ljudskog disanja do vihora, orkana i nevera. Vjetrovi nisu unaprijed ispunjeni određenim sadržajem. Njihova ovisnost o kontekstu naglašava ulogu konkretizacije. Mogućnosti su velike, od sacrum do profanum, od fizike do okulti...
Dzieje literatury i kultury starochorwackiej okresu renesansu i baroku są de facto dziejami literatury i kultury miejskiej, ponieważ zostały one ukształtowane w centrach miejskich, nielicznych wówczas na ziemiach zamieszkanych przez Chorwatów. Zdecydowana większość tych ośrodków mieściła się na wybrzeżu Morza Adriatyckiego; doszło do takiej sytuacj...
In this article we reconstruct life strategies which attend the Slamnig's novel Bolja polovica hrabrosti (The better half of courage). In the analysied book we contrast two models of novel, two types of book: the root book and the rhizome book as well as two worlds corresponded with them: the modern and the post-modern one, the world of Ana and Voj...
W artykule omówione zostały przekłady literatury chorwackiej w Polsce i ich recepcja w okresie od 1990 do 2006 roku. Tekst składa się z dwóch części. Pierwsza to analiza procesów, jakie wpływają na dobór tłumaczonych tekstów, uwzględniająca czynniki społeczne, polityczne, kulturowe i ekonomiczne. Druga to aneks bibliograficzny, w którym znalazły si...
W artykule analizie został poddany dynamiczny aspekt wyobraźni poetyckiej Silvije Strahimira Kranjčevicia. Na podstawie badań jego twórczości lirycznej udało się ustalić, że powtarzające się obrazy literackie skrzydeł, lotu, wiatru są jedną z jej znamiennych cech. Ich pojawianie związane jest u Kranjčevicia z ruchem wyobraźni, mającym z góry wytycz...
The book is an attempt at "capturing" the phenomenon of wind which, as a subject, appears to be symptomatic for the Mediterranean (Adriatic) literature and culture. It belongs to the regional cultural ethnosemantics which is untranslatable into the language of the Continent, being a vehicle of the aesthetic, psychological and philosophical problems...
Dla Chorwatów lata 90-te są okresem przełomu nie tylko w historii politycznej, społecznej i gospodarczej (utworzenie własnego państwa, domovinski rat, transformacja ustrojowa), lecz również w dziejach kulturalnych tego narodu. Zmiany objęły m. in. literaturę, gdzie twórczość oparta na motywach autobiograficznych stała się jednym z głównych nurtów w...
Znajomość nazw meteorologicznych odgrywa ważną rolę w życiu mieszkańców wybrzeża Morza Adriatyckiego. Fakt ten jest w pełni zrozumiały w świetle więzi, jaka łączy tych ludzi z przyrodą. Ich kontakt z nią ma wymiar egzystencjalny, lecz nie w filozoficznym znaczeniu tego słowa, ale pragmatycznym, bytowym. Życie zawodowe i prywatne Pomorzan podporządk...
Koniec XX wieku to dla całej Słowiańszczyzny czas głębokich i strukturalnych zmian. Na tle ogólnego procesu transformacji ustrojowej i gospodarczej sytuacja w jakiej znalazła się Chorwacja wydaje się szczególna. Istota, ciężar i skala zmian, które ją objęły stanowi moment przełomowy w nowożytnej historii tego kraju. Dzieje się tak między innymi za...
Wiatr południowy (jugo) pojawia się w wielu utworach jako czynnik oddziałujący na stan duchowy narratora i postaci. Motyw ten uległ w wysokim stopniu uschematyzowaniu. Możemy nawet mówić o wykształceniu znaku quasi-topicznego juga jako wiatru wywołującego melancholijno-nostalgiczne stany psychiczne zarówno postaci jak i narratorów, mówiących o swoi...

U jeziku, književnosti i kulturi periferno se ne vrednuje jednoznačno i ne ocjenjuje jednosmjerno u takvoj mjeri kao što je obično slučaj u društvenim, političkim i ekonomskim znanostima. Nije sinonim zakašnjenja, provincijalizma, siromaštva, palanke i sl. Nije ex definitione esencijalističko ili antiesencijalističko, konzervativno ili moderno, univerzalno ili partikularno, originalno ili epigonski. Ne mora (premda može) biti rezultat kolonizatorskih praksi, fizičkog ili simboličkog nasilja, zapostavljenosti i pasivnosti. Upravo je ono često epistemološki, estetski i etički najinspirativnije za stvaraoce i najzanimljivije za recepijente. Zato predlažemo da prilikom našeg okupljanja pokušamo zajednički istražiti široko shvaćenu perifernost u hrvatskom jeziku, kulturi i književnosti s posebnim osvrtom na pojave estetske, društvene, filozofske (ontološke, epistemološke, političke), psihološke i jezične naravi.
Predlažemo sljedeće teme znanstvenog skupa: položaj dijalektalne književnosti u hrvatskom književnom kanonu; periferije hrvatskog književnog kanona; periferni diskursi i stilovi u hrvatskoj književnosti; periferni žanrovi; periferni likovi i likovi periferija; opreka između centra i periferije u hrvatskom jeziku; periferne pojave u hrvatskom standardnom jeziku; periferne jezične varijante / jezični varijeteti; jezik na periferiji; perifernost u jezičnim kategorijama; periferne teme u hrvatskoj filologiji. S obzirom na to da se radi o jubilarnom skupu, i druge su teme prihvatljive.
The journal Translations of Slavic Literatures (Przekłady Literatur Słowiańskich) is dedicated to the problems of artistic translation in South and West Slavic languages, perceived from the theoretical, historical and literary as well as cultural perspective. It comprises both the record of editions and receptions of translations, as well as the studies on:
1. the peculiarity of translation within the boundaries of closely related languages,
2. translation of one culture into another using the medium of literature,
3. the role of translation in comparative studies and in the area of studies on the reception of Slavic literatures in the world,
4. problems addressed in the most recent translation studies.
