Literature And Language

This essay examines the political uses to which Behan puts language in his autobiographical fiction, Borstal Boy, both as an instrument of domination and a means of liberation. Identifying Standard English language and literature as important components of the British imperial project, Behan creates, as a linguistic alternative, ‘englishes’, a composite language in which differences of geography, class, age, education, and occupation create a demotic speech of great variability and expressive force. In so doing, Behan sabotages the cultural assumptions and justifications for colonial exploitation embedded and validated in Standard English literature and language.

Abstract The three scholarly works of recent years illuminate the versatility of their main editor Albrecht Classen in the interdisciplinary world of comparative studies, in literature and language studies. Together with his colleague Eva Parra-Membrives he offers insights on trivial literature also in view of bestsellers concerning the first two works under discussion here. The third work on multilingualism in the middle ages he edited alone. For all the works he found an impressive number of contributors who fill the chalice of offerings in a most versatile canon of topics.

The sketch characterizes the research areas of the staff of the Chair of Linguistic Didactics and Polish Literature, and especially the one devoted to literature for children and teenagers. The author of the article presents the beginnings and development of reflection on writing for a young reader, which, thanks to the involvement of Mieczysława Mitera-Dobrowolska, Zofia Adamczykowa and other employees, has become the foundation of studies on “other” literature, and thus the hallmark of Katowice’s teaching of Polish literature and language among other Polish universities.
