The author of the article reflects on the weaves of memory in the life of the protagonist, who is “Viennese and the citizen of the world”, and answers the question of what the traumatic memory was which burdened his psyche and the independent development of his personality. The theme of memory connects the plot threads, the past and the experience of the present. Memory is also a glue that merges two different, and at the same time close to each other, cultures, Polish and Austrian, signaling their intertwining in the world of “global values”.","PeriodicalId":231270,"journal":{"name":"Rocznik Komparatystyczny","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125703868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It enables us to escape the confines of instantaneous reality, thereby liberating us from the subjection to our immediate surroundings and transferring us to transient worlds in our minds, which are somewhat cut off from actuality. With respect to this suggested nature of the imagination, some may argue that the ultimate power of imagination lies in its ability to empower the subject with a profound sense of freedom, that is innately strong enough to break the limits of what is actual and what is real. While on a personal level, imagination gives one the ability to traverse bounds of immediate reality; on a macro/community level, imagination can be very toxic for some. This paper will look at different real and fictional literary examples, while journeying through Sartre, Husserl, Castoriadis and Ricouer’s ideas and theories of imagination, and, trying to map out the essential aspects of the needs and formations of identities of different marginal individuals/communities. Along side that, it will also try and connect the different ways of survival and perseverance that people find via imagination.","PeriodicalId":231270,"journal":{"name":"Rocznik Komparatystyczny","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130187495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Article 19 of the program proclaimed: “We demand that Roman Law, which serves a materialistic world order, be replaced by a German common law” (German: Wir fordern Ersatz für das der materialistischen Weltordnung dienende römische Recht durch ein deutsches Gemeinrecht). The presence of Roman law on the Nazi agenda aroused surprise from the beginning. The more time passed, the more sophisticated attempts were made to find its cultural-ideological basis. As a result, a complicated ideology was added to it post factum. Meanwhile, it cannot be ruled out that the inspiration for Hitler and his aides was not some great political tracts, but a primitive anti-Semitic lampoon – Judas Schuldbuch: Eine Deutsche Abrechnung. The book, under the pseudonym Wilhelm Meister, was published by a minor financial official named Wilhelm Meister in 1919.","PeriodicalId":231270,"journal":{"name":"Rocznik Komparatystyczny","volume":"363 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127384440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
