SUMMARY:Twentieth Century Polish History Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Migration Status as Ethnicity:  Natives\, Migrants and Refugees in Postwar Poland\n\nPoland famously became ‘ethnically homogeneous’ during and immediately after the Second World War\, as its previous minority populations were either killed during the Nazi occupation\, forced to emigrate\, and left outside of Poland’s post-1945 frontiers.  And yet\, across the western half of the country\, subsequent discussions of the remaining\, ostensibly homogeneous population routinely used what seemed suspiciously like an ethnic grid to analyse it.  People were most often assigned one of three categories depending on their background\, specifically their migration status:  native\, settler\, or refugee.  As in other contexts with such terms have structured public debates about community cohesion\, these labels came with a host of stereotypes\, both negative and positive.  In this talk\, I will be examining how this kind of ethnic grid was used in discussion of postwar social integration.  Who was meant to integrate whom in this process of integration?\n\nJim Bjork is Professor of Modern European History at King’s College London.  He received his PhD at the University of Chicago and worked at various American universities before moving to the UK in 2005.  His research interests focus on the interplay between religion and nationality in Poland and Germany.  Jim’s first monograph was Neither German nor Pole:  Catholicism and National Indifference in a Central European Borderland.  His current project examines migration and internal diversity within Catholic communities in Poland after the Second World War. Articles related to this current research have recently been published in the Journal of Modern History\, German History\, Central European History and various edited collections.\n\nTo register\, visit https://www.tickettailor.com/events/polishuniversityabroadpuno

SUMMARY:Twentieth Century Polish History Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Cinema of Good Change: The Populist Politics of History and Memory on Polish Movie Screens\, 2015-2023\n\nThis paper examines politics of history and memory in Polish cinema during the rule of the Law and Justice party from 2015 to 2023. First\, it explores feature films that glorified the mythologised community of the ‘Accursed Soldiers’ who fought the communist government after World War II\, their supposed descendants\, victims of the 2010 Smolensk air crash\, and the Polish Righteous who sheltered Jews. Second\, it analyses a drama series produced by Polish state TV\, Krucjata. Prawo serii (Crusade. Great deeds will come\, Łukasz Ostalski and Wojciech Tomczyk\, 2022-23)\, which addressed the alleged consequences of unfinished decommunization and lustration. I argue that these film narratives constituted part of a large project\, which sought to forge illiberal and ethno-confessional national identity based on nationalism\, social conservatism\, and Roman Catholicism and new elites. These ‘patriotic’ movies rewrite national past endorsing a “politics of assertion” (Assmann\, 2020) which projects positive national self-images centred on heroism and martyrdom. The drama authored by Tomczyk targets post-communist and liberal elites\, always portrayed as nationally\, socially\, and culturally suspect and imagines the work of “the deep state.”\n\nMikołaj Kunicki is a historian and film scholar. He received his PhD in History from Stanford University. Kunicki taught history at the University of Oxford\, University of Notre Dame\, and UC Berkeley and lectured on media and communication studies at the University of Wrocław. From 2013 to 2016 he was the director of Programme on Modern Poland in St Antony’s College. Kunicki is head of the European History Unit at Polish University Abroad (PUNO) in London and an Adjunct Professor of Cinema in Ithaca College London Center. His research concentrates on communism\, nationalism\, authoritarianism and their relationships with film and television. He is the author of Between the Brown and the Red: Nationalism\, Catholicism and Communism in Twentieth Century Poland (Ohio University Press\, 2012) as well as articles and chapters on Polish and European history\, cinema\, nationalism and contemporary politics.

SUMMARY:Polish History Seminar
DESCRIPTION:19 June 2024 Professor Havi Dreifuss (University of Tel Aviv)\n\nFacing the Unthinkable: Initial Responses of Polish Jews to the Mass Murder \n  \n\nPolish Jews were confronted with news of the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” through various channels\, eliciting diverse reactions. This lecture examines their initial responses to the systematic mass murder\, with a particular focus on Orthodox communities\, their leadership\, and their modes of engagement. Drawing from an array of contemporary sources\, our discussion will center on the horror\, the efforts to respond\, and the profound sense of powerlessness in the face of Nazi Germany’s atrocities.\nHavi Dreifuss is a historian of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe at the Department of Jewish History at Tel – Aviv University\, heads the Institute for the History of Polish Jewry and Israel-Poland Relations (TAU)\, and The Center for Research on the Holocaust in Poland at The International Institute for Holocaust Research\, Yad Vashem. Her research deals with various aspects of everyday life in the Holocaust\, including: the relationship between Jews and Poles\, religious life in light of the Holocaust\, Jewish existence facing extermination.\n\nTo register\, visit https://www.tickettailor.com/events/polishuniversityabroadpuno/1266690

SUMMARY:Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The next seminar in PUNO’s Polish History Seminar series will take place on Wednesday\, 15 May at 6.30pm. Please find details below. \nOn Saturday 18 May\, PUNO’s Unit of European History hosts an online conference titled ‘The Politics of History and Memory in Poland in the 20 and 21st Century – Between Continuity and Change’. For details and to register\, visithttps://www.tickettailor.com/events/polishuniversityabroadpuno/1221922 \nBest wishes\, \nMichael \n15 May 2024 Professor Robert Hampson (Institute of English Studies\, University of London) \nConrad and the Polish problem \n  \nThe talk will start with ‘The Shadow of 1863’: it will begin with Conrad’s parents\, Apollo and Ewa Korzeniowski – their political activities in relation to Polish independence; the hopes they placed on their son\, Konrad; and Apollo’s role in relation to the Central National Committee. It will consider Conrad’s sense of himself as a child growing up in the shadow of 1863 and also why he left Poland. The next section\, ‘Emigration of the Talent’\, will begin with Orzeszkowa’s 1899 criticism of Conrad and the charge of desertion. It will discuss Conrad’s work of reminiscence\, A Personal Record\, which he began in 1908\, as a response to Orzeszkowa and to a more recent criticism (by Robert Lynd) that he was a man ‘without either country or language’. A Personal Record asserts the continuity of Conrad’s life as a sailor and as a writer\, while also bringing Polish life and history into English literature. It displays Conrad’s commitment to Poland\, but also his pessimistic sense of the prospects of Polish independence. The third section\, ‘Autocracy and War’\, will begin with Conrad’s response to the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) in the form of his 1904 essay ‘Autocracy and War’. It will consider how he subsequently takes on the role of a public intellectual in relation to ‘the Polish problem’ with ‘A Note on the Polish Problem’ (1916) and ‘The Crime of Partition’ (1918). The role of Józef Retinger will be considered here. The final section\, ‘Poland Revisited’ will focus on Conrad’s 1914 visit to Poland and the essay he wrote of that title. It will consider his engagement with his father’s legacy and his own sense of complex\, multiple loyalties. \nRobert Hampson FEA\, FRSA is a Research Fellow at the Institute for English Studies and Professor Emeritus at Royal Holloway\, University of London. He is the author of three monographs: Joseph Conrad: Betrayal and Identity; Cross-Cultural Encounters in Conrad’s Malay Fiction; and Conrad’s Secrets\, which won the Adam Gillon Award from the Joseph Conrad Society of America. He co-edited Conrad and Theory with Andrew Gibson\, Conrad and Language with Katherine Isabel Baxter\, and The Reception of Joseph Conrad in Europe with Véronique Pauly\, and has recently published a critical biography\, Joseph Conrad\, with Reaktion Books. His latest book\, Joseph Conrad\, From Cosmopolitanism to Transnational Activism was published this year (2024) by Palgrave Macmillan. He is Chair of the Joseph Conrad Society (UK) and recipient of the Ian P. Watt Award for Excellence from the Joseph Conrad Society of America. \nTo register for this and other PUNO events\, please visit:https://www.tickettailor.com/events/polishuniversityabroadpuno

SUMMARY:Seminar
DESCRIPTION:„W naszych hałaśliwych czasach o wiele łatwiej jest przyznać się do swoich wad\, przynajmniej jeśli są atrakcyjnie opakowane\, niż rozpoznać własne zalety\, ponieważ są one ukryte głębiej i sam w nie do końca nie wierzysz…” /W. Szymborskiej/ Ronald Reagan powiedział kiedyś: „Polska nie jest Wschodem ani Zachodem. Polska leży w centrum cywilizacji europejskiej. Wniósł ogromny wkład w rozwój tej cywilizacji”. Ten słynny cytat zwraca naszą uwagę na fakt\, że Polska poprzez swoją burzliwą historię wyrosła na złożone\, nowoczesne\, szybko rozwijające się kulturowo i gospodarczo państwo europejskie. Jednocześnie jednak świat zachodni postrzega nas jako ostoję tradycji\, konserwatywnych wartości\, kraj niemal jednorodny pod względem rasy\, religii i przekonań. W ostatnich latach\, głównie dzięki platformom streamingowym\, takim jak Netflix czy HBO Max\, filmy z udziałem Polski i Polaków stały się dostępne i spopularyzowane wśród szerszej publiczności. Filmy takie jak: „Corpus Cristi”\, „Zapomniana miłość”\, „Zimna wojna” czy „Zielona granica”\, żeby wymienić tylko kilka\, zyskały uznanie i uznanie aż w Mieście Aniołów i biją rekordy popularności na Netflixa. Dlaczego? Dlaczego teraz? Poniższe seminarium poświęcone będzie tendencjom\, jakie możemy zaobserwować we współczesnym polskim kinie\, dotyczących polskiej tożsamości w świecie\, przemianom\, jakie zaszły w polskiej mentalności oraz autorefleksji Polaków w ciągu ostatnich dwóch-trzech dekad. Jak Polacy rozumieją i podchodzą do aktualnych zagadnień socjologicznych\, takich jak tożsamość płciowa\, pochodzenie etniczne\, migracja i przekonania religijne? Czy jesteśmy tym samym narodem\, którym byliśmy 20\, 30 lat temu? Jak współczesne kino polskie ma się do wspaniałej „nowofalowej” twórczości Wajdy i Polańskiego? Czy jesteśmy obecnie świadkami renesansu polskości w kinie światowym?  \nPodczas seminarium dr Zegarlińska podejmie próbę odpowiedzi na powyższe pytania i przedstawi kompleksowe studium współczesnych tropów\, tematów i gatunków\, które w ostatnich dekadach definiowały polską tożsamość w kinie. Czy ten obraz jest odbiciem rzeczywistości\, czy jedynie jej sprytnie zmanipulowaną interpretacją? Magdalena Wanda Zegarlińska jest wydawcą naukowym\, tłumaczem i redaktorem związanym z PUNO. W 2014 roku uzyskała stopień doktora Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego\, specjalizując się we współczesnej literaturze brytyjskiej i kinie autorskim. Jest doświadczoną lektorką i nauczycielką języka angielskiego\, specjalizującą się w CLIL – nauczaniu języka jako zjawiska kulturowego; dodatkowo pracuje z uczniami SEN ze spektrum autyzmu. Organizatorka i uczestniczka wielu międzynarodowych konferencji naukowych\, tłumaczka i autorka programów nauczania dla uczniów szkół średnich i wyższych. Wcześniej była wykładowcą w Wyższej Szkole Bankowej w Gdańsku. Jej zainteresowania naukowe obejmują badania snów\, psychologię przestępczości i intertekstualność.  \nRegistration under following link \nhttps://buytickets.at/polishuniversityabroadpuno/1221877

Cat in the Wet Grass has been translated for the Penguin Book of Polish Short Stories\, selected by Antonia Lloyd-Jones\, due out in January 2025. It will include approximately 39 stories dating back about a hundred years to the present day and hopes to provide the English-language reader with a good cross-section of Polish writing. It includes nine stories that have been previously published in other collections or journals\, and 30 that have never been translated into English before. It includes 13 (one third of the book) by women writers. Some of the writers are famous\, others have been forgotten.

DESCRIPTION:dr Wojtek Rappak (PUNO)\nSome reflections in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising  \nTime: Apr 19\, 2023 06:00 PM London \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88000665951?pwd=eXJVeUNFWVJlRUNkZ2hzd0pINWdrdz09 \nMeeting ID: 880 0066 5951 \nPasscode: 000007 \nExactly 80 years ago\, on April 19th 1943\, about a thousand young Jewish fighters attacked various German positions in the Warsaw ghetto. The attack took the Germans by surprise\, some reports even say that they were shocked to be attacked by Jews. After a day of setbacks\, the Germans appointed a new commander\, General Jurgen Stroop\, who initiated a brutal counterattack aimed at the complete destruction of the Warsaw ghetto\, its Jewish fighters and its remaining inhabitants. Commanding a force of over 2000 fully-armed Gestapo\, Waffen-SS and other units\, it took Stroop nearly two months to defeat the Jews. And on the 16th of May\, nearly two months after the start of the uprising\, in a report to his superiors\, Stroop declared that ‘the Jewish district of Warsaw no longer exists’. The ghetto was in ruins\, almost all of the fighters were dead\, and about 60\,000 inhabitants who were still hiding in the ghetto bunkers were sent to be murdered in Treblinka or shot en route. And yet the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a triumph of Jewish armed resistance. To all the exhausted inhabitants of the Ghetto\, death must have seemed inevitable\, survival unlikely. To the Ghetto fighters\, a Jewish resistance force ensured that Stroop’s forces paid a price\, the fighters died with honour. There is another aspect of their heroism: there was some help from the Polish or the ‘aryan’ side of the ghetto\, but in broad terms\, the Ghetto fighters fought alone. In London on May 13th\, Szmul Zygielbojm\, the Bundist member of the Polish National Council\, committed suicide to express his ‘profound protest against the inaction in which the world watches and permits the destruction of the Jewish people’. This talk will include a brief account of the wartime context of the Ghetto Uprising\, the reasons for its importance and the need for its commemoration.      \nWojtek Rappak was born in Gdańsk and studied philosophy and history in Canada\, Warsaw\, Paris and London. He gained his first doctorate from King’s College\, University of London\, for research into the foundations of logic and the early philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. His supervisor was the late Peter Winch. In 2021 he was awarded his second doctorate\, from University College London (UCL)\, after submitting a history dissertation which examined the archival evidence on how Jan Karski tried to alert Western leaders about the Holocaust. His supervisor was Antony Polonsky\, a world authority on Jewish history\, at UCL’s Hebrew and Jewish Studies department. Wojtek is a Reader in history at the Institute of European Culture at the London-based Polish University Abroad (PUNO). He is also an expert on the application of logical principles in the design of automated systems that use large\, industrial-scale databases. He is a co-founder and a director of Rational Commerce Ltd.\, which offers this expertise to customers in the financial\, manufacturing and government sectors. Wojtek has published articles in journals in Britain\, Poland and Israel. All of them deal with various aspects of World War Two\, Jan Karski and the Holocaust. He presented papers and gave talks at conferences in London\, Jerusalem\, Warsaw and Gdańsk. He is currently preparing a book which will present a new view of Jan Karski and his time.

SUMMARY:Polish Culture Course
DESCRIPTION:Romanticism in Polish minds and hearts\, \n now and before… \n Academic discourse \n The 2022 marks the 200th anniversary of the first issue of “Ballads and Romances” by Adam Mickiewicz. It began the Polish Romanticism. “The literature and culture of Polish Romanticism shaped the spiritual dimension and profile of Poles” – Members of the Parliament wrote in the resolution on announcing 2022 as the Year of the Romanticism in Poland. \n There are debates\, in printed and electronic media\, that try gradually to decrease the value of Romantic culture and authors\, finding them outdated and not important anymore for today’s Polish society. Obviously\, it’s not unimportant to the general consciousness of Poles living in Poland and abroad. \n As part of our traditional meetings of the Polish Culture Course\, with the participation of outstanding experts in culture of Romanticism age (incl. aspects of the past and presence)\, together with the university professors and our academic teachers\, members of the Association of the Polish Writers Abroad\, and other people interested in Romanticism\, 18 . \n We are going to create a scientific and cultural event with the high social and pedagogical impact. Feel free to join us! \n                              Yours faithfully\,  \n                                  Ewa Lewandowska-Tarasiuk \n Dean of Humanities Faculty

SUMMARY:Twentieth Century Polish History Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Conrad\, Colonialism and Africa.\nProfesor Robert Hampson (University of London\, Institute of English Studies). \nIn this talk\, Professor Hampson will consider Conrad’s engagement with colonialism in his African fiction. Although Conrad is associated in the popular mind with Africa\, his early fiction drew on his experiences in the Malay Archipelago\, and the Malay archipelago plays a much bigger part in his fiction than Africa.  \nEarly reviewers described him as ‘annexing’ the archipelago for English literature\, but\, as Hampson will show\, his depiction of Dutch and Spanish colonialism (and British interventions as well) is more sympathetic to the indigenous peoples than this would suggest. This provides the context for Conrad’s fictional engagement with Africa on which the talk will focus. Kiedy ” Heart of Darkness” was published\, contemporary reviewers recognised its critique of King Leopold of Belgium’s takeover of the Congo. Hampson will discuss Leopold’s role in the Congo\, but will also show how ‘Heart of Darkness’ (and Conrad’s other African story\, ‘An Outpost of Progress’) extend their critique from the particular case of the Congo to the rhetoric of the ‘civilising mission’ that also underwrote other colonialisms. \nRobert Hampson is a Research Fellow at the Institute for English Studies and Professor Emeritus at Royal Holloway\, University of London. He is the author of three monographs: Joseph Conrad: Betrayal and Identity; Cross-Cultural Encounters in Conrad’s Malay Fiction; and Conrad’s Secrets\, which won the Adam Gillon Award from the Joseph Conrad Society of America. He co-edited Conrad and Theory with Andrew Gibson and Conrad and Language with Katherine Isabel Baxter\, and has recently published a critical biography\, Joseph Conrad\, with Reaktion Books. He is Chair of the Joseph Conrad Society (UK) and recipient of the Ian P. Watt Award for Excellence from the Joseph Conrad Society of America. \nProfessor Hampson’s recent lecture on Conrad is available on YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se–ibps1aI  \nZoom meeting (20th April\, 06:15 PM London) \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82061573209?pwd=eTRaTFVaNC80VFI2azkvSXorWlQ2QT09 \n

SUMMARY:Twentieth Century Polish History Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Dr Piotr Puchalski (Pedagogical University of Kraków) \nPoland and the Colonies: Rethinking the Inter-war Period \n\nIn his talk\, Puchalski will present selected findings from his book Poland in a Colonial World Order: Adjustments and Aspirations\, 1918-1939. Contextualising inter-war Poland in a changing world of empires\, nation-states\, dominions\, protectorates\, mandates and colonies\, the author charts how\, in partnership with other European powers and international institutions such as the League of Nations\, Polish leaders made attempts to channel emigration to South America\, to establish direct trade with Africa\, to expedite national minorities to far-away places\, and to tap into colonial resources around the globe. He thus demonstrates the intersection between national policies\, systemic problems in Eastern Europe and larger processes taking place at the time\, including the internationalist turn of colonialism and the global fascination with technocratic solutions. \n\nPiotr Puchalski is Assistant Professor of Modern History at the Pedagogical University of Kraków (Poland)\, where he offers courses in the history of Poland\, colonial empires\, international relations\, and contemporary tourism. He has previously published in the Historical Journal and the Journal of Modern European History. His first book isPoland in a Colonial World Order: Adjustments and Aspirations\, 1918-1939 (Routledge\, 2022)\, and he has also contributed to the edited volumeThe World Beyond the West: Perspectives from Eastern Europe (Berghahn Books\, 2022).   His next project deals with Poland’s post-1939 colonial entanglements.\n\n\n\n\n\nTime: Mar 23\, 2022 06:15 PM London \nZoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88583885238?pwd=cjFOQUJTMFp6T0NaWTJyZHlkYnhmQT09 \nMeeting ID: 885 8388 5238; Passcode: 399290
