New issues of scientific journals
There has been a lot of work lately at the Publishing House on new issues of scientific journals. We highly recommend the titles recently added to the Scientific Journals on the Web platform:
The main theme of this volume of “Prace Kulturoznawcze” is worth considering as a call for a renewed discussion of the object, function and role of theoretical thinking about culture or, more strongly, cultural theory. It needs to redefine itself in the face of the expansion of various cultural turns, cultural studies and newer forms of philosophy of culture. Related to this is the question of the very status of theoretical reflection, which seems to be currently in retreat. And yet, taking up a more or less specific issue of culture is not independent to theoretical reflection on it, moreover – the more momentous questions are taken up, the more they require conceptual, categorical and systematizing attention. The dissertations included in this volume are examples or exercises in such a research procedure.
“Prace Literackies” Volume 63 (2024) | Prace Literackie
The theme of the 63rd volume of Prace Literackie is the relationship between music and literature. The authors of the included texts pose questions about the specificity of the musicality of literature, while considering how sounds create the audiosphere of a literary work. The issue opens with articles on a Latin musical treatise by Czech humanist Václav Philomathes and Sophie of Hungary’s Paris Chronicle, which includes reflections on the art of opera. The notebook also features sound emanations of the imaginary world in Marcel Proust’s famous novel In Search of Lost Time, novel symphonies by authors born in the 1970s, and sonosphere and surconventionalism in children’s literature. In addition, we present an article on traces of Chopin in the early lyrical work of Marek Grechuta, as well as on pause and silence as constitutive elements of song. The issue closes with a Varia section containing articles on Jan Czeczot’s letters to Adolf Kobylinski from Cieszewla, Julian Stryjkowski, and performative narrative in Jakub Żulczyk’s Black Sun.
Le numéro 71 des Romanica Wratislaviensia, intitulé ” La traductologie en français : spécificités, inspirations, résonances “, réunit des études qui présentent la spécificité de la traductologie francophone, et notamment canadienne, ou gravitent autour de quelques thèmes majeurs (retraduction, paratextes de traduction, circulation internationale des biens symboliques et marché de la traduction) abordés dans l’optique des apports de plusieurs chercheurs français (Antoine Berman, Gérard Genette, Pierre Bourdieu). Elles sont le résultat des discussions menées pendant le colloque célébrant en 2022, à Cracovie, le 25e anniversaire de la collaboration du Réseau thématique ” La traduction comme moyen de communication interculturelle ” (Universités de Lille, de Wrocław, Jagellonne et de Haute-Alsace (Mulhouse)). Une sélection de contributions présentées pendant cette rencontre a été publiée aussi dans la revue Między Oryginałem a Przekładem.
