This chapter argues that the openness and egalitarianism of scientific discourse to be found in Terry Pratchett’s Nation functions as an alternative to the hierarchical structures imposed by colonialism. In addition, the chapter discusses the ways in which Pratchett attributes liminal potential to religious beliefs and posits the suggestion that pantheism is the most appropriate religious belief system within the social-scientific framework of his model post-colonial society. Finally, the chapter argues that Nation highlights the importance for young readers of addressing and critically reflecting on the issue of their own belief systems, in order to manage the difficulties of 21st-century living.

Challenging Tasks

Studying and representing grammatical paradigms of phraseological units is one of the most challenging tasks of Russian phraseology. The electronic resource «Lexicographer's Library» enables to keep track of the time when words and idioms are introduced into the language, the system of their meanings, semantic dynamics, historical stylistic dynamics, and communicatively dependent variation. The phraseological unit vstavit' (svoi) pyat' kopeek (= interfere into other people’s affairs) is generally used to denote a speech act, the other occurrences are rare. The unit emerged in late 1990s and the 21st century marked the peak of its use. The statistics of its use by certain authors shows that female authors are less enthusiastic with it while male authors are inclined to attribute it to female characters. The unit appeared as the euphemism for a much ruder expression that means «to poke one’s pig nose into other people’s affairs».

The author of the article discusses in a chronological order the literature on Iceland written in Polish starting from the seventeenth-century account of the journey to the island by Daniel Vetter. Most attention is devoted to the accounts created in the second half of the twentieth (reports by Lucjan Wolanowski and Polish sailors) and at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Recent publications are largely based on blog experiences. In quantitative as well as qualitative terms, we observe the perspective of changing the geographical and cultural imagination of Polish literature at the beginning of the 21st century: within the North-South axis one can notice the recently emerging diagonal axis linking Poland with Iceland. It is worth examining this issue in more detail in a while.

The Impact

From Translator to Poet and Back: Adam Ważyk’s Translation Output as Part of Polish Literature The article offers an analysis of Adam Ważyk’s translation work, particularly in the context of its influence on the shaping of contemporary Polish poetry. The author aims to showcase the impact of Ważyk’s translations on some of the recent developments within Polish literature; to this end, she employs the distinction between translatoras-envoy and translator-as-lawmaker, as proposed by Jerzy Jarniewicz. Ważyk is here seen as an example of a “lawmaker”, and compared to Piotr Sommer – another author influential within a similar audience. The author argues that in his original choice of what to translate, Ważyk was driven by a desire to project onto the Polish context – to reproduce in his native language – a set of poetic and social circumstances associated with the French avant-garde movement; finally it served the goal of making Ważyk’s own work more comprehensible to his Polish readers. At the turn of the 21st century a group of Polish poets who had expressed interest in Ważyk were also attracted to the work of poets translated by Ważyk; the influence of these foreign authors was thus mediated by Ważyk’s own work.

Novel Model

The article discusses the ‘relationships’ that exist between literature, history and education in contemporary Polish narratives for children and young people. The historical literary works for young readers discussed in the text are strongly rooted in the concept of culture remembrance — they represent a variety of genres, a kind of modernist genre syncretism and hybrid forms, as well as a diverse type of narration. Walter Scott’s traditional historical novel model is mixed with narration maintained in the poetics of a story of a reflective character with a clearly exposed issue of the concept of time and setting (chronotope), and didactic short stories with elements of “dialogues with a thesis”. It is also worth noting that literary examples of playing with conventions using fantasy motifs. As has been shown, contemporary Polish literature on historical topics intended for children and young people as an element of historical education may constitute a specific cultural and social form of memory about people and events of the past years.

The Way

Cinema in India has always been greatly dominant over society. Movies influence the Indian society in different ways, and sway individuals’ personal lives. Be it the clothes they wear, the way in which they speak, their social behavior, is all affected by commercial Bollywood films directly or indirectly. There is no doubt as to the entertainment such films provide, but it is often at the cost of women’s intelligence and dignity. Female characters in Bollywood are more often than not labelled as dumb, mindless creatures with only sexual gratification to offer. Objectification of women, as sexual objects is very common in commercial Indian movies. There are countless examples of such stereotypes. The heroine is never portrayed as an individual with intellect, her ideas and thoughts pertaining to anything other than romance or family are not portrayed. This paper examines the girl student(s) perception about the women portrayal in Bollywood cinema of 21st Century and how they observe the things which serve by the Bollywood cinema to the youth of Indian society.
