O trzech zegarach. Relatywistyczne fabuły w polskiej fantastyce naukowej (Lem — Huberath — Snerg)
(Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta, 2018) Kukulak, Szymon Piotr; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
The article compares three science-fiction novels written by Polish writers representing three successive generations — Stanisław Lem’s Return from the Stars (1959), Adam Wiśniewski-Snerg’s Robot (1973), and Marek S. Huberath’s Nest of Worlds (1998)—that utilize the time dilation phenomenon as a basis for the plot. In each novel, time dilation serves also as a building block for a higher layer of meaning. In Lem’s—as a grim prediction about the fate of real-world astronautics at its birth; in Snerg’s—as association with his ‘theory of superbeings’; and in Huberath’s—as a part of solipsistic construction of the author’s own multiverse permeated with Christian themes to which the author often refers to in his other texts. This proves not only the unwavering popularity of the motif itself but also its flexibility which allows to adapt it to different needs and aesthetics that the evolution of the genre imposes.

"Późne lato" Johna Crowleya jako postmodernistyczna wizja procesualnej koncepcji tożsamości
(Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta, 2018) Gancarczyk, Małgorzata; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
The article John Crowley’s “Engine Summer”: A Postmodern Vision of the Processual Construction of Identity analyses the eponymous novel as pivoted around the narrative’s role in constructing both individual and collective identity. Drawing from Mieke Bal’s narrative theory, as well as a number of established (such as paratextuality) and emerging theoretical concepts (Piotr Kubiński’s emersion), Gancarczyk emphasises the multifacetedness of novelistic references, including the stereotypisation of the Other and top-down control of social relationships. Furthermore, Engine Summer is interpreted here as drawing the reader’s attention to the medium itself and to the embodied text which co-creates narrative identity, allowing for its inscription and transmission—an idea literally realised in a postapocalyptic world of the novel. Finally, Gancarczyk shows how Campbell’s concept of monomyth reverberates in Crowley’s narrative, proving pivotal for the overall interpretation, indicating the active role of the medium and narrative subjectivity in constructing the meaning.

Inny Zagrzeb. Transformacje obrazu miasta w chorwackiej prozie fantastycznej po 1991 roku
(Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta, 2018) Wojtaszek, Aleksandra; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
Croatian speculative fiction in the last quarter of the century has been dominated by the city of Zagreb. There are three anthologies depicting the capital of Croatia and visions of its future: Zagreb 2004 (1995), Zagreb 2014 (1998) and Zagreb 2094 (2004). Also, in Croatian dystopian fiction, the popularity of which has grown rapidly since 2010, the city becomes a metaphor for the problem of exclusion and deep inequalities between the centre and the periphery. The changes in the literary image of Zagreb over the last twentyfive years illustrate not only the changing perception of an urban space and different ways of experiencing the city by writers, but also depict the evolution of speculative fiction in Croatia by distinguishing its most important elements: the growth of the importance of local motifs and places, as well as blurring the rigid genre boundaries and the evolution towards the socalled slipstream fiction. Thanks to the analysis of literary images of Zagreb, questions about the attitude of fantasy literature of that time towards the main contemporary issues can be raised. The article finally offers a possibility to define either the subversive or conciliatory character of fantasy works in the context of the most dominant ideologies of that time.

Wykluczenia
(Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta, 2017) Hańderek, Joanna; Kućma, Natalia; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
Problematyka związana z wykluczeniem i wykluczeniami jest jedną ze sztandarowych kwestii podejmowanych w dzisiejszych dyskusjach politycznych, filozoficznych i naukowych […]. Szczególną rangę zyskała ona w myśli postmodernistycznej i postpostmodernistycznej. Niezależnie od tego, zagadnienia wykluczenia, obcości, inności, nienormalności, nieprzystosowania itp. pojawiały się w obszarze humanistyki, nauk społecznych i filozofii we wszystkich liczących się paradygmatach przełomu XX i XXI wieku. Dobrze się więc stało, że na gruncie polskim rozpoczęto systematyczną refleksję nad tym dyskursem i dyskursami […]. Teksty z tomu Wykluczenia z ogromnym rozmachem pokazują wszelkie przejawy wykluczenia ludzi we współczesnym świecie. Tak szerokie zakreślenie pola obserwacji, jakie występuje w tym zbiorze, stanowi […] ważny jego atut. Poszczególni autorzy konceptualizują pola badawcze, które następnie mogą stać się przedmiotem pogłębionych studiów nad problematyką wykluczenia.

Silmarillion – allotopia J. R. R. Tolkiena w perspektywie ardologicznej
(Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta, 2017) Maj, Krzysztof M.; Uniwersytet Jagielloński; Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta
The article Silmarillion—J. R. R. Tolkien’s Allotopia From Ardological Perspective aims at outlining the methodology for studying Tolkien’s world-building project without the need of acknowledging the text-centered reading paradigm. Having differentiated tolkienology, as text-focused, philological studies, from ardology, understood as world-building studies, Maj deconstructs the use of Tolkienian’s “subcreation” in literary theory as far too indebted in the metaphysics of presence to establish a neutral framework for studying the process of constructing a fictional reality. With the examples from Silmarillion—perhaps the best instance of modern mythography, in no way resembling the narrative arc of a prototypical fantasy novel—the author builds up on the notion of “allotopia” as the world independent insofar to create its own ontologies, topographies, languages, philosophy, history, literature, art, or even physical artifacts—without the need of anchoring the overall creation in a metaphysical paradigm. Correspondingly, the text offers an insight to a number of theories in postclassical narratology or postmodern philosophy that may help in understanding the scale of Tolkien’s solemn contribution to the art of fantastic world-building.
