Warunkowa apologia przypadkowości. Filozofia narodzin w biografii Rahel Varnhagen autorstwa Hanny Arendt
(Instytut Nauk o Kulturze i Studiów Interdyscyplinarnych, Uniwersytet Śląski, 2013) Zawisza, Rafał; Uniwersytet Warszawski
The article is dedicated to a pre-war oeuvre of Hannah Arendt, namely the book concerning the life of Berlin salonnière, Rahel Varnhagen (1771-1833). Her narration is equally biographical and autobiographical, because Arendt, during writing it in the thirties, has been intending to manage with her own origin and actual political situation, appropriating the position of emancipating Jewess from the Romantic era. A simultaneous development of Zionism and anti-Semitism witnessed the fall of a fragile German-Jewish 'synthesis' inaugurated at the end of eighteen century. Arendt's book constitutes an excellent cultural critique as well as a hermeneutic of modern subjectivity, thrown back at painful consciousness of randomness concomitant with each birth. Similar problem is posed by Odo Marquard in his conception of derivativeness (Herkömmlichkeit), but solutions propounded within it seem very dubious. German philosopher's skeptic bias makes him unable to overcome melancholic repetition and tyranny of time. In comparison to him, Arendt's reflection on natality guards a hope for a promising art of living.

Kolumbowie i kosmonauci. O sztuce życia reporterów (casus: Wańkowicz)
(Instytut Nauk o Kulturze i Studiów Interdyscyplinarnych, Uniwersytet Śląski, 2013) Nowacka, Beata; Uniwersytet Śląski w Katowicach
The article discusses the art of reporters' life. The context is based on Antoni Kępiński's study, where are described the two rhythms of life - one is associated with nature and individuality, the second with technique and monotony. Melchior Wańkowicz, a founder of a well-known Polish school of reportage, has a unique experience of living in both rhythms of the world - he was born in the eastern borderlands in the late nineteenth century and between the 50s and the 60s he could examine the technological center of the world - the United States. He chose to live in the rhythm of the nature using his spontaneity and independence. Asking if he possessed the secret of the art of living the author with some hesitation confirms, because he definitely could experience his life at his own pace and on his own terms. Observing the fate of his writing, however, we must admit that his individuality cannot be applicable to our present times.
