W ubiegły piątek Filologia Angielska wzięła udział w Gali Transatlantyk! 🤩 Reprezentowala nas dr hab. Krystyna Zabawa, prof. UIK (Katedra Nauk o Literaturze). 👏👏👏

Poniżej relacja:

W tym roku nagroda Transatlantyk została wręczona po raz dwudziesty. Jest ona przyznawana prze Instytut Książki za wybitne osiągnięcia w popularyzacji literatury polskiej za granicą. W 2018 roku otrzymała ją zasłużona brytyjska tłumaczka, Antonia Lloyd-Jones, mająca na swoim koncie m.in. Korczaka, Iwaszkiewicza, Lema, Kapuścińskiego, Tokarczuk. Tym razem jury wyróżniło dwoje niezwykłych tłumaczy: na włoski – Verę Verdiani i na hiszpański – Abla Murcię. Oboje mogą się poszczycić ogromnym dorobkiem. Zajmująca się od lat 50. przekładem 89-letnia Włoszka, której matka była Polką, a ojciec włoskim polonistą, udostępniła czytelnikom w Italii dzieła m.in.: Gombrowicza, Witkacego, Schulza, Mrożka, Lema, Kapuścińskiego. Abel Murcia od dwudziestu kilku lat mieszka w Polsce, a jego przekłady polskiej poezji (m.in. Różewicza, Szymborskiej) i prozy są publikowane nie tylko w Hiszpanii, ale również w krajach Ameryki Południowej.
Gala Nagrody Transatlantyk 2024 odbyła się w Muzeum Sztuki i Techniki Japońskiej Manggha i była niezwykłym przeżyciem. Zachęcam do wysłuchania przede wszystkim wystąpień obojga laureatów. Warto posłuchać nieskazitelnej i wyrafinowanej polszczyzny osób, dla których nie jest to język ojczysty! Ich refleksje na temat pracy tłumacza są, moim zdaniem, bezcenne i warte zapamiętania. Innego rejestru naszego języka można było posłuchać podczas koncertu, na którym wystąpili Pablopavo (także pisarz, autor tekstów piosenek) i Ludziki.

Dziś, 17 czerwca, miał miejsce wykład otwarty Prof. Gerarda Kilroya, zorganizowany przez Katedrę Nauk o Literaturze! 🤩👏👏👏

Profesor Kilroy zabrał nas w fotograficzną podróż po współczesnej Anglii, w której zachowane zniszczenia, posągi bez głów czy ruiny opowiadają historię o polityce, religii i o emocjach przeszłości. Tak jak rozsławione przez Wordswortha opactwo Tintern, tworzą one nie tylko estetyczne napięcie pomiędzy pięknem a przemijaniem, w szczególnej poetyce braku i pustki, ale i stanowią źródło wiedzy o przeszłych wydarzeniach oraz pobudzają do refleksji nad człowiekiem.

Filologia Angielska taking part in BIP in Lithuania! 👍🇱🇹

In the first week of June, Mr. Michael Doherty participated in an intensive training programme with an international team of academic teachers. Read about his impressions below:

A great week and a lot of learning and networking with new colleagues from across Europe at the Blended Intensive Program hosted by VMUlive in Kaunas, Lithuania. The programme included plurilingual approaches in language classes; mediation in the language classroom; ICT-based innovative approaches in language teaching; AI-generated materials for language classes; flippedclassroom approach; effective online tools in teaching and learning English; non-formal and informal approaches to language learning. All in all a healthy dose of teacher development and CPD.
The team of us worked together producing materials for teaching and learning based on what we had learned during the week.
For me it was very useful to exchange ideas and to work alongside colleagues from many countries including Germany, Ukraine, Denmark, Lithuania, Poland and even across the corridor here at UIK!

Katedra Nauk o Literaturze poleca :)

A Polish migrant writer, author, among others, of "Letters from America", where he describes his impressions from living in the United States.

Today, we pay tribute to the literary legacy of Marek Hłasko - the prolific author and screenwriter. His work, a mirror to the life in Poland during the 1950s, has left a mark on the cultural landscape of the country. Despite his untimely departure in 1969, Hłasko's rich, tumultuous, and fruitful life and work continues to resonate culturally, even after many years. 🏛️

The year 2024 has been designated as the year of Marek Hłasko, among others, by the Polish Parliament. In their proclamation, the Parliament underscored the universal appeal of Hłasko's work, which transcends the specific context of post-WWII Poland. 'With his unwavering stance, even in the face of communist reality, he has drawn in generations of young people from all corners of the globe,' the MPs noted, justifying their decision. ✍️

If you wish to read some of Hłasko's work for yourself, consider diving into the autobiographical "Beautiful Twentysomethings", a narrative that retells the author's life both in Poland and abroad. You can also explore "Next Stop - Paradise", a gripping tale that delves into the bizarre and turbulent lives of truck drivers, offering a unique perspective on the reality of early socialism in Poland. These are just a glimpse into the rich and diverse writing of Hłasko, which remains relevant to this day. 📚

About Polish diaspora in Britain - about the invisibility and blending on the one hand, and about connecting the "tiny bits of Polishness" and its essence that is difficult to pin down, on the other. 🤔

W najbliższy poniedziałek, 17 czerwca, o godz. 10.00, Katedra Nauk o Literaturze zaprasza na wykład otwarty Prof. Gerarda Kilroya pt. "1548: Smashed Statues and Emptied Churches," wokół jego najnowszych badań, prowadzonych w Anglii.

Opis tematyki:
The last seventy-five years before the Reformation saw an extraordinary flowering of parish life in England, exemplified by the Tree of Jesse reredos in St Cuthbert’s, Wells, commissioned from Master Mason, John Stowell, for £40 in 1470 by the fraternity of Our Lady. From 1450 to 1547 parishes saw scores of new fraternities being formed, legacies left by wealthy individuals for new chantries, obits or rood-screens and vestments. Injunction 28 if the first year of Edward VI changed all that: “all images [were] pulled down throughout all England”. Churches were cleared of their statues and altars: decalogues replaced the whitewashed wall paintings; medieval sculpture was smashed to bits; John Stowell’s reredos was reduced to 450 fragments, discovered by chance in 1848. This iconoclasm was accompanied by the Chantries Act (1547), which took in not just chantries, but fraternities, brotherhoods and guilds. The land and tenements that funded chantry or fraternity masses became the property of the Crown and disappeared into the pockets of the Lord Protector or his supporters, while 450 chantry priests in London alone were pensioned off. The late medieval parish, so full of lights, ritual and colour, a model of lay participation in the church’s religious life that a modern synodal church can only dream of, disappeared and was erased from the national memory as surely as the statues from the churches, now “bare ruin’d choirs where late the sweet birds sang”.
