Item Inność, którą trzeba chronić. O empatii zbudowanej na dystansie(Wydawnictwo "Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne" oraz Wydawnictwo PTPN, 2010) Winiecka, ElżbietaThe article is a review of Krystyna Pietrych's book "Co poezji po bólu. Empatyczne przestrzenie lektury" (Łódź 2009) [What good pain and suffering bring in poetry. Emphatic dimensions of reading]. Since the reviewed book presents a bold and, to a large extent, novel approach to personalistic reading — based on a subjective, compassionate experience of an encounter with uncognizable and unreductible otherness of tormented man-poet, the reviewer focuses on the issues viewed as the most important for the method of emphatic reading adopted by the author. E. Winiecka analyses aesthetical and epistemological, as well as axiological possibilities and risks that emphatic criticism opens up for reexamination. Formulates her own opinion on the analytical method used by K. Pietrych in examining poetry, which is a recording of one's mind in agony and suffering experienced by seven authors: Aleksander Wat, Zbigniew Herbert, Miron Białoszewski, Stanisław Barańczak, Janusz Szuber, as well as Julian Przyboś and Anna Świrszczyńska. Outlines the methodological perspectives of the discussed work that traces the stages in the formation of literary depiction and representation of suffering. The text is also an attempt at defining and indicating the cognitive perspectives of emphatic criticism.Item "Niemowa z Kampen" — Hendrick Avercamp w Archiwum Z bigniewa Herberta(Wydawnictwo "Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne" oraz Wydawnictwo PTPN, 2010) Śniedziewska, MagdalenaThe present article analyses the rough drafts of Zbigniew Herbert's essay on Hendrik Avercamp — the seventeenth century Dutch landscape painter who specialized in winter landscapes and scenes with numerous tiny figures. The author attempts to reconstruct the compositional idea for the essay and establishes facts concerning the research work done by Herbert concerning the life and work of Avercamp, confronts the findings with the present state of research and considers the issue of the biographical dimension of the painter's artistic output as one of the keys to solving the interpretative problems of his paintings and the artistic tradition that had influenced the shaping of the Avercamp idiom of paintings. Avercamp's works are juxtaposed in the article with the landscapes painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder to show the difference between the visions of the world represented by the two painters. Bruegel, in Herbert's opinion, is bitter in his reflection on the subject of transiency of human existence. Avercamp, conversely, tends to have a cheerful outlook on life, the world and his compatriots. Avercamp's paintings allow us to get to know winter customs of the Dutch, their winter outdoor games participated by all — hence a thesis posed by the poet underlying the democratic character of skating rinks. In doing so, Herbert proposes to scrutinize carefully Avercamp's artistic output within the context of, defined after Schiller, the notion of naivety, understood as "the virtue of accepting reality with humility" adopted from the old masters.
