Jednostka, historia i kosmos. Obłok Magellana Stanisława Lema w kontekście przemian świadomości literackiej doby odwilży
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego, 2019) Dudziński, Robert; Uniwersytet Wrocławski
The article is an attempt to read the novel of Stanisław Lem Obłok Magellana in the context of processes characteristic of the beginnings of the post-Stalinist thaw, associated with attempts to discuss with the dogmas of socialist realism. Three main aspects of the novel can be indicated in which there are traces of this discussion. Firstly, in placing the problems of the human individual in the center of the work’s interest - their psyche, feelings and reactions. Secondly, in the revision of Marxist philosophy. Thirdly, in reaching for the achievements of existentialism. Such an interpretation of Obłok Magellana allows for its inclusion in the literature of the early thaw stage, in which the socialist realist elements were combined with new, doctrine-disintegrating threads.

Agent 007 za żelazną kurtyną. Fenomen Jamesa Bonda w piśmiennictwie kulturalnym Polski Ludowej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego, 2018) Dudziński, Robert; Uniwersytet Wrocławski
The topic of the article is the reception of the phenomenon of James Bond in cultural writings from the times of the Polish People’s Republic. Though an average member of the Polish audience could not be directly familiar with the character (neither in literature nor in film), the scale of the popularity of the brand in the West meant that the echoes of the so-called Bondomania started to reach countries behind the Iron Curtain. Polish critics and journalists tried to acquaint their readers with the issue and explain it using various interpretative categories. The article attempts to reconstruct these categories and their hierarchy of values. Based on theses formulated by Janet Staiger (Interpreting Films: Studies in the Historical Reception of American Cinema), the author analyses the changes to Polish interpretations and opinions on the Bond phenomenon in subsequent decades and indicates the historical conditions that influenced those changes. The text focuses primarily on two periods: 1964–1974 and the latter half of the 1980s, because it was in those times that the interest of Polish critics in James Bond was particularly strong.
