Item „Czasy ginącego piękna”. Pozytywistycznej historii literatury kłopoty z barokiem(2012) Szewczyk-Haake, KatarzynaThe article deals with the ways in which Baroque works and their authors were presented in the positivist history of literature. The source material for the analysis was provided by the texts written by Piotr Chmielowski, Stanisław Tarnowski, Adam Bełcikowski, Henryk Sienkiewicz and Felicjan Faleński. The article discusses the sources for a rather distinct dislike of the literary output of Baroque authors in general, which was in line with the then well-established opinions deeply rooted in European research, but also derived from a valuation based on national and patriotic criteria. A certain differentiation in research methods is also indicated, mostly of those stemming from the spirit of Taine, but, occasionally, approaching Baroque works with the help of a stylistic analysis and thus making it possible to show more appreciation to the literature created in the period that, as understood from the positivist perspective, was believed to be of inferior quality.Item Płeć i władza w kontekstach historycznych i współczesnych(Instytut Kultury Europejskiej UAM w Gnieźnie, 2014) Kajda, Kornelia; Dziuba, Agnieszka; Sawiński, Paweł; Kluczek, Agata; Dopierała, Kazimierz; Kowalska, Barbara; Miazek-Męczyńska, Monika; Pac, Grzegorz; Brzezińska, Joanna; Szczot, Monika; Szewczyk-Haake, Katarzyna; Sadowska, Monika; Jarosz, Ewelina; Domańska, Ewa; Klisz, Joanna; Kowalska-Sobieraj, Zuzanna; Skuza, Sylwia; Olszewska, Katarzyna; Działak, Anna; Dominik, Anna; Skrzypek, Marta; Pawłowska, Agnieszka; Karwat, Izabela; Kęsek, Rafał; Jędraszczyk, Katarzyna; Kubiaczyk, Filip; Kubiaczyk, Monika AnnaThe book addresses the issue of relationships between gender and power. Although the subject has been analysed on many occassions and in a variety of fashions, the volume does not duplicate the well-known views, but points to the limitations of the previous approaches and suggests possibilities of overcoming those. For the authors of the featured texts, gender also denotes sex in the biological sense, while power does not mean the omnipotent techniques of control, but also strategies of active resistance and emancipation. Having applied a different interpretative paradigm, the authors pose new questions to the already known research material: How to define the category of gender/sex in today's (trans)gender world? In what way do the deliberations on the nature and essence of power affect gender? Do men and women function equally within the machinery of power, assuming the roles of clearly defined cogs, i.e. the dominant (men) and the dominated (women) ones? Answering such questions requires a broad perspective, ranging from antiquity, when power was “invented” by being attributing one gender (though not without exceptions) and when the canon of speaking of what is “female” and “male” was devised, to the contemporary times, in which both categories and their mutual relationships undergo radical reevaluation.
