Vol. 7 No. 2 (2015): Father, our neighbor. Prezentacje: Edward Pasewicz

The main section of this issue is devoted to the figure of the father. Contributors examine this figure in a variety of contexts: psychoanalytical, political, religious, post-secular, and philosophical. Among their interests is the genesis of the conscience as a product of the child-father relation and the consequences of the weakening of the father’s position. They address from many angles the crisis of the traditional ideals of masculinity, as well as transformations of the ideas concerning the roles, and the experiences of being, a father, brother, and/or son. Moreover, father figures become integrated into the issues of revolution and tyrannicide. For illustrative material, the authors have sourced texts of two different kinds: literary (e.g., Sienkiewicz, Schulz, Orzeszkowa, Mach, Kafka, Wat, Karpowicz), and philosophical (Hegel, Agamben, Schmitt). The “Presentations” section features an interview with the poet Edward Pasewicz, texts which examine his work, and a selection of his poems. The issue is completed by the regular sections: “Varia”, “Reviews and Discussions”, and “Chronicles”.
