Buyanovskaya","doi":"10.5406/23300841.68.3.01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5406/23300841.68.3.01","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 This paper addresses the “regressive” temporality of melancholic memory that developed cross-culturally within the modern, predominantly progress-oriented time-consciousness. Outlining the theoretical—Freudian and post-Freudian—perspective on melancholia, this essay continues with a case study of a text that embodies a particularly “regressive” response to a personal loss, Bruno Schulz's short story “Sanatorium pod klepsydrą” [Sanatorium under the sign of the hourglass, 1937]. My reading of this short story will be structured around the narrator's “trick” of turning back time, motivated by his willingness to keep the memory of his lost loved one, his father, alive. For Freud, such a “trick” indicates the failure to mourn, which results in the pathologic condition of melancholia. I will argue, however, that the narrator deliberately refuses to “work through” his grief because it is precisely through this circular and infinite regression that he explores his creative abilities and shapes his fluid modernist self. My analysis is particularly focused on the dynamic boundaries between the “real” and imaginary spaces that the narrator constructs, balancing and at the same time de-stabilizing the notions of separation and encounter, distance and immersion, determinacy and freedom. As I will show, through this process the narrator finds himself in between two realities, in a point of suspension, which becomes the only possible position or, rather, condition for modernist, hyper-reflexive writing.","PeriodicalId":83231,"journal":{"name":"The Polish review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44623878","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}

Studia lingwistyczne [Amidst stereotypes and texts of culture. Linguistic studies]. Both authors are renowned linguistic scholars in Poland from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, and for years they have been researching the issues raised in the book.The book consists of two major parts: “Reflections on the stereotypes perpetuated in jokes” and “Sketches on cultural texts.” Although the authors address two seemingly disparate topics, cultural texts, that is, any products of culture that carry cultural meanings, are the unifying thread that weaves throughout the entire book.The first part of the book, written by Małgorzata Karwatowska, is a discussion of stereotypes that are most apparent in Polish jokes. The study of jokes that are ridden with stereotypes is not only a captivating research task, but it can be treated as a kind of attempt to decipher encrypted meanings that need to be explained and properly interpreted. A joke reflects a certain collective wisdom; it embodies shared norms and beliefs, thus creating a community of laughter.1 This community, on the one hand, binds a given group together, and on the other hand, it can exclude, perpetuating prejudice and hatred within the entrenched dichotomy of “Self/Other.”2 This dual nature of a joke was aptly described by Tomasz Titkow, who concluded that “in truth a joke is a clown, but its other face is, in fact [. . .] a trickster playing a refined and enthralling game, being a master of ciphers and indirect language.”3We find an explanation of the linguistic arcana and meanderings of this intriguing game, in relation to stereotypes, in the introductory chapter of the book. Karwatowska, in an in-depth and well-grounded discussion, elucidates the dual structure of a joke, as well as the polysemantic nature of stereotypes and the multiple ways of defining the term. Moreover, this section of the book provides an excellent theoretical foundation for further analysis. She reviews several types of stereotypes conditioned by social environment, and these are: educational stereotypes (teacher and student); medical stereotypes (doctor and patient); and family stereotypes (wife and father). In short, what emerges from these analyses are specific “pictures in our heads,” as Walter Lippmann defined the concept of a stereotype.Karwatowska bases her analysis of stereotypes perpetuated in jokes on rich empirical materials drawn both from Internet sources (250 jokes derived from each of the above-mentioned categories of stereotypes), as well as on a survey conducted among 100 students from Lublin.This raises the question: what “pictures” emerge from the examples of jokes which were analyzed? Educational jokes are dominated by specific targeted aspects of the teacher's p","PeriodicalId":83231,"journal":{"name":"The Polish review","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135008666","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}
