Item Category of Theatrical Gesture in Theatrical Metacontext of Expressing Inexpressible. Drama of A. P. Chekhov and “Free Dance” of Isadora Duncan(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Państwowego w Wołgogradzie, 2007) Waligorska-Olejniczak, Beata; Szestakowa, A.W.Item Function of Theatrical Gesture in Chekhovian Poetics of Negation on the Basis of Selected Short Stories by A.P. Chekhov(Institute of Literature Press, Tbilisi, 2011) Waligorska-Olejniczak, Beata; Irma Ratiani19th century was a period of dynamic changes in the field of literature; it was the time which has given rise to the many experiments aimed at defining the role of art. One of the core problems was also the notion of a new, educated recipient who was to understand the meaning of a work and cross its transient boundaries to grasp the metaphysical sense. A. P. Chekhov belonged to the group of 19th century artists who studied the problem of perception and emphasized the importance of intuiti.on and instinct in the process of creation. Being both a physician and an author helped him to master his method of deep realism with its ecological view of the human being focused on the relationship between the physical and spiritual. My paper proposes the interpretation of Chekhov's short stories as the attempt to explore the function of the category of theatrical gesture, which allows us to see his prose of 80s and 90s as the anticipation of Chekhovian poetics of negation exposed in his dramas during the period of the Great Theatre Reform. Theatrical gesture is treated as the peculiar key for decoding the text, the tool that can reveal the role of "the emptiness" In his t.exts. Lotman's notion of the meaningful absence, which is emphasized in the analysis, seems to be an adequatc metaphor exposing the creative exploitation of contrastive elements in his stories, whose interdependence and juxtaposition can create the source of the dynamics of the text, interpenetration of profanum and sacrum.Item Spiritual and Corporeal Nature of Body in Drama “The Seagull” of Anton P. Chekhov(2011) Waligorska-Olejniczak, Beata; Vershinina, L. W.The paper focuses on the interpretation of gestures in the drama "The Seagull" perceived as the specific Chekhovian language which sometimes turns out to be more meaningful than the verbal sphere of his plays. We analyse behavioural sphere of the characters in relation to the concept of spiritual nature of the body described by Alexander Lowen. We come to the conclusion that economical kinetics in Chekhov's plays constitutes one of the features which allows the poetics of the Russian playwright to be described as the poetics of negation, poetics of denying. It seems that the most adequate metaphor of the Chekhovian gesture could be the Lotman's notion of "meaningful absence" emphasizing the potential of the work which cannot reach its highest level, the stimulus for the deepened analysis of the text.Item Wschód contra Zachód. Komplementarne opozycje w procesie percepcji poematu Wieniedikta Jerofiejewa pt. Moskwa-Pietuszki(Instytut Filologii Słowiańskiej, 2012) Waligorska-Olejniczak, Beata; Lis-Wielgosz, Izabela; Jóźwiak, WojciechThe focus of the analysis is the issue of complementary oppositions functioning in the perception of Moskva-Petushki by Venedict Erofeev. The tool utilised in this process appears to be Sergei Eisenstein's theory of ecstasy, which turns our attention to the problem of montage of literary frames, the length of scenes and the emotional atmosphere of the discussed work of art. The studies focused on these parametres allow us to discover the pulsating dynamics of binary oppositions existing in the structure of the poem, among which the key issue is the dialogue of the mentality of the East and the West. The collage reality of Venichka becomes also the subject of the discussion related to the identity of the human being today and the role of culture as the medium revealing the change of the relationship between sacrum and profanum. The change motivates the reader to consider the problem of stereotype thinking, which today constitutes one of the most relevant issues.
