The paper discusses Paula Mehan’s play Cell with focus on the female discourses present in the context of this literary work and the multifold metaphorisation that both the title of the work and the contents invite. The discourses are analysed against the relevant social background and critical literature. The focal types of discourses under discussion involve imagery from maternal and familiar discourse, the “biological” discourse related to hygiene, the sexual discourse, the mock feminist discourse, the discourse of the military and the propaganda of the common good, and the discourse related to the animal world.

Celem artykułu jest analiza reklam telewizyjnych pod kątem występującego w nich przedstawienia kobiety wpadającej w stan marzenia sennego pod wpływem spożyciareklamowanego produktu i zaproponowanie nowego sposobu ich czytania w oparciu o współczesne teorie reklamy oraz prace Susan Bordo dotyczące ideologii głodu w kulturze popularnej. Dzięki zastosowanej metodologii autorka pokazuje, iż pomimo powierzchownego odczucia wyzwolenia, które mogą one wywoływać, te przedstawienia wskazują na istnienie głęboko zakorzenionych restrykcji dotyczących satysfakcji cielesnej u kobiet. Związek łączący kobiety i jedzenie ma dużą wartość emocjonalną, która zmusza do negocjowania delikatnej równowagi pomiędzy przerażającą żarłocznością a bezcielesną transcendencją. Wreszcie, przeprowadzona analiza ukazuje, że reklamy te mocno podkreślająz jednej strony kwestie samokontroli i samoograniczania się, a z drugiej kładą nacisk na występujące zakłócenia percepcji siebie i otoczenia, co stanowi cechy charakterystyczne dyskursu zaburzeń odżywiania.

This article discusses the representation of woman in Estonian punch-lined jokes. After brief introduction to the problems and approaches of this field the author presents the results of the extensive research, which consisted of the survey of 1869 jokes. Jokes representing female characters had to contain one of the four most neutral keywords: woman, mother, wife and maiden (young woman in Estonian). These jokes were collected from the Internet and stem from the years 1960–2010 and are categorised using the program QDA-miner, which enables both quantitative and qualitative methods. However, the main emphasis in the approach is on the critical interpretation of the results. The jokes were divided into 4 major subcategories: 1) location of the joke; 2) the interaction partners of woman; 3) sexual content; 4) the role of the woman (active, submissive, neutral). The most frequent location for the joke was homely environment. Woman interacted in the jokes mostly with her husband, children and other family members. Surprisingly, only 27% of the material contained any kind of sex-related circumstances. The fourth and most ambiguous (open to interpretation) category was the role of the woman. It was also the focal point of my critical approach. The results show generally, that the picture of woman in Estonian jokes is rather passive and one-sided. In literally half of the jokes, woman had merely episodical role. Woman was clearly the target of the joke in 32% of the jokes and active protagonist in the rest 18%. Although it seems, that the female character had often something meaningful to say in jokes, closer look reveals that it was not the case. Even in the jokes where the woman was active, her role was still very stereotypical and reflected rather the point of view of men telling the jokes or the construction of male identity in general. These tendencies show, that the representation of woman in estonian joke material is quite static throughout the period of 1960s until the first decade of the 21st century. I maintain, that this phenomenon cannot be explained with the simple persistence of sexism and misogyny in society. One other way of explaining it, is that the inherent stability of the genre of punch-lined joke does not let new discourses appear in it. Researchers should look for other new humorous genres for more critical and complex representation of gender and femininity.

This paper analyses the story about a young lover who left the semen mark on the marble statue of Knidia by Praxiteles. The findings are threefold. First, we show that the literal interpretation of this ancient story began in the seventies of the 20th century, in connection with a feminist re-evaluation of Western cultural tradition. Second, we argue that the ancient story cannot be taken at face value. The story of Knidia’s lover does not provide information either about the appearance and staging of this marble statue, or the way in which actual visitors behaved in its sanctuary at Knidos. Third, we stress that any interpretation of the Tale of Stain must take into account that its original audience was aware that it was a work of art with tremendous sacred power.

My reflections are focused on the issue of women's impact in the realm of international relations and world politics. These dimensions are discussed far too rarely in reference to the role of women and if so, majority of the analyses merely touches upon the surface of this phenomenon. Undeniably, the compexity of contemporary trends and long-term tendencies calls for more research in this area. Perhaps ourselves, the women of academia, we are not aware of the profound impingement of the feminine element on the world of inetrnational affairs. In order to counter these tendencies, the paper ponders three questions in particular: The first one asks how the relational nature of a woman influences the realm of international relations. The second raises the issue of the nature and direction of an evolution observable in the realm of world politics both in the theory and in practise. And finally, basing on obtained answers, I should like to question some possible recommendations for the future.

The aim of the article is to present recent fundamental changes in thinking about poetry. Authors of books published in the years 2010–2016 are much more aware of the political and social situation than those who were debuting right after the year 2000. They are also aware of the context of artistic creation and aesthetic criteria. They seek to redefine the production and distribution of poetic works and react (as their predecessors did) with resistance to social and political oppression.

This article approaches women's scientific and humanistic production in the journal Citius, Altius, Fortius. Based on several previous bibliometric and thematic studies - where the journal's epistemological orientation and ideological and editorial trajectory were analyzed - this research aims to highlight and analyze the role of women who collaborate in the journal in order to set these representations. The article deals particularly with women's conceptions as physical activity practitioners.Descriptive, comparative and content analysis techniques have been used, emphasizing ideological discourse. In conclusion we point out the disproportion of women's scientific production, which shows males' dominant position in physical activity studies at that time.The very female authors' perspective about sportswomen is in fact an accommodative, and even a servile, position towards the dominant physicaleducative and sport discourses.

The text with a rather ambivalent title “The misuse of Female Power” deals with two Norse modernists, Laura Marholm and Ellen Key, who published in the weekly Die Zeit since 1895. Their concepts of a woman, emphasizing the woman’s erotic character, were in opposition to the legal, educational and social feminism. Laura Marholm met Hermann Bahr, the editor in Die Zeit, in the second half of the 1880’s in Berlin and even thought their attitudes were transforming during the 1890’s, Bahr’s standpoint in terms of the women’s issue was a product of the Laura Marholm’s doctrine, whom he viewed as the authentic voice of psychology of a woman. The opinion on a woman held by Ellen Key did not differ much from that of Laura Marholm, however the fundamental difference between them was the concept of the basic instinct of a woman determining her behaviour and conduct as well as her opportunities to establish herself in public sphere and employment. Marholm advocated erotic determinism of a woman’s dependence on a man, while Key emphasized motherhood as the basic instinct. Key fascinated modernists in Austria, Germany as well in Bohemia by her redemptive individualistic philosophy based on evolutionism and positivism and by her emotional style and utterance. (Šalda’s concept of “female psychical mother tongue” is based on Key’s work in many aspects). As far as the weekly Die Zeit is concerned, Key published both articles on women’s issue as well as other pedagogical and philosophical texts. The present article also partially follows the conflict of emancipatory feminism with the modernist differential concept of a woman, using the example of a scandal caused by a brochure Die Frauen und das Studium der Medicin by Eduard Albert, a Czech physician in Vienna, in which Albert used both contemporary anthropological theories (C. Lombroso) and Laura Marholm’s arguments against women in medicine.

Revisiting the fairy land: Anne Sexton’s transformation of the Grimms’ female characters

Anne Sexton’s vivid and scandalous literary heritage has always been arousing controversy mostly due to its confessional character. It is, however, underestimated that one of the sources of her poetic inspirations was a broadly defined European culture and tradition, including the Grimms’ fairy tales. This article strives to inquire how Sexton revisits narratives of canonical tales with special regard to female protagonists. An apparent discrepancy will be shown between the two versions in terms of poetic imagery, character construction, and the reality in which they are firmly anchored. The morals drawn from the poems markedly diverge from the original versions, for it is with pessimism and disillusionment that Sexton transforms the naïve and sentimental images. The applied adaptation, hence, serves here to articulate the conflict between the traditional, male-centered set of values and a feminist perspective. The poems’ structures, literary figures, cultural references, features of genre, and other elements will be examined and analyzed to compare the retold stories with their archetypes and to provide a detailed interpretation in the light of the addressed problems.

The paper discusses refocalization as a strategy of rewriting in the literary apocrypha (D. Szajnert). Refocalization, that is based on G. Genette and H. Jenkins’ conclusions, refers to the shift from the perspective and narrative that dominates canonical works into perspective and narrative predominant in the literary apocrypha of the canonical works. As the subject of research I chose the apocrypha of the Homeric epics (M. Atwood’s The Penelopiad and Ch. Wolf’s Cassandra) in which patriarchal, omniscient narrative is replaced by perspective and narrative of women marginalized in the epic.

The novel Umělohmotný třípokoj by Petra Hůlová is a story of a thirty-year old prostitute working privately, who with calmness and through an emotionless monologue acquaints the reader with the world of her profession. The novel is rich in illustrations of how the boundaries of womanhood and manhood frequently function in culture. The way that literature perceives the roles and attributes in Hůlováʼs book was confronted with the feminist thoughts and the gender reflection in the postmodern cultural discourse. By drafting borders between both sexes, the author implies that they confine the women and the man within structural frames that are impossible to break by human mind and mentality. The most visible example is the main character of the novel who breaks out of the model of a prostitute dependant on men by posing as an independent woman. In fact, she becomes trapped within new borders fixed by the contemporary world.

“I’ve been crawling up so long on your stairway to heaven”: The rise of the female rock memoir

Similarly to rock music, the rock memoir has long been considered a male genre by both the general public and publishers. It might well be claimed that throughout the years there have been many seminal female rock performers, yet only a few of them gained well deserved recognition and engaged the minds of wider audiences. The history of rock had been predominantly a (his)story until 2012 and the publication of Patti Smith’s Just Kids, a female rock memoir which paved the way for many other women thus far silenced by the male-oriented genre. This paper seeks to delve into some of the female rock narratives in order to analyze the ways in which their authors construct their stories and their authorial selves. It also points to those territories of the music industry and the rock memoir which female performers strive to enrich or reclaim by the acts of writing and performing.

The paper analyzes various possible linguistic norms that could govern the feminine forms, which slowly appear in the Polish language, and which correspond to the masculine names of professions. Adopting a basically feminist standpoint leads one to reject those proposals, which would legislate that the masculine forms ought to be applied to men while the feminine forms ought to be applied to women. The article considers in particular the inferential roles of concepts to argue for a gender-neutral rendition of the historically masculine forms.

The article analyses currently emerging patterns of womanhood in the socio-cultural context. The author, using the feminist discourse, attempts to answer the following questions: What positive changes (based on the idea of gender equality) had taken place in terms of how the pattern of womanhood is culturally constructed? Are there still such areas in the contemporary model of woman’s life, where we observe certain forms of discrimination, based on a stereotypical attitude (in both: biological and cultural sense) towards gender issues? The author, by adopting the gender perspective, analyses fundamental areas in women’s lives: professional career and private life, to verify the level of their social (re)construction. Her reflection is also enriched with ponderings about the place of womanhood in popular culture. Through references to numerous research findings taken from the professional literature (mostly Polish), she tries to demonstrate that there are two opposing forces that influence womanhood: the first one bases on the mechanism of stereotyping and gender discrimination (determined by the essentialistic perspective) and the second one promotes equality discourse (determined by the perspective of social constructivism). In conclusion, the author makes the assumption, that contemporary patterns of womanhood balance on the line between two worlds, in which deeply rooted tradition (conditioned by the biological determinism) coexists with modern egalitarianism. The specific discrepancy between outer and inner (self)perception of the social and professional roles women play causes many dilemmas and forces them to make difficult decisions in life.

The feminist critics of western epistemology reveal political implications of a conception of truth. As a consequence of this a legal process is also in a broad sense inflicted by politics. The feminist jurisprudence claims that the modern law is founded on patriarchal values and interests and neglects voices of social groups which are located on the edge of the society.

The aim of the article is to discuss the phenomenon of a ‘newly born woman’ that appears in the writing of the French theoreticians of gender, Hélène Cixous and Luce Irigaray. The author of the article distinguishes between the views of the two researchers and aims to reveal the specificity and uniqueness of each of them. This approach goes beyond the frames of ‘essentialism’ designed by Anglo‑American critics of the eighties.

The aim of this article is to familiarize the Polish readers the most important events in the history of the beginnings of feminism in Ireland. The autor assumes that history, making heroes of events only male political, military and religious leaders, is one of those scientific discipline that significantly ignore the achievements of women. She focuses on herstory of Irish women – the first social activists, politicians, feminists and nationalists, at the same time retains the important historical context of their activity. Using the English-language literature dedicated to research of the history of Irish women, enriches Polish publications of authors rarely invoked or absent in Polish literature. The text contains information about the first Irish women’ organizations from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, such as Ladies’ Land League, Daughters of Erin and Irish Women Workers’ Union. An important context of their activity is the evolution of the Irish independence movement, which was formed by many women too. As the author assumed, the article may provide a basis for further discussion of the history of the Irish women’s movement and its current status. Among quoted authors are such well-known researchers of Irish history, as Maria Luddy and Margaret Mac Curtain.

This paper focuses on the issue of the gendered character of colonial domination and the role of the intersection of gender and race hierarchies in the structuring of colonial power. The author claims that these hierarchies not only intersected but also participated in constituting each other. The paper shows the multiple implications of this constitutive intertwining ranging from the impossibility of creating unitary subjects of anti-colonial, anti-racist or anti-patriarchal struggle to the cynical instrumentalisation of women’s rights by colonial and neocolonial discourses carried out for the sake of asserting the race difference (on which those discourses invariably depend). Discussing the gendered character of colonial and neocolonial encounters, the author points out that both colonial domination and anti-colonial resistance is often articulated in a gender idiom of asserting or regaining one’s masculinity. The issue of the instrumentalisation of women’s rights is illustrated by the example of contemporary anti-Islamic discourse, especially the headscarf controversy, that uses the status of women to assert the racialised inferiority of Muslims. The author points out that one of the contemporary consequences of the intertwining of race and gender hierarchies is that we are confronted with the false alternative of choosing between fighting against racism or fighting against gender subordination. The author concludes that it is only by transgressing this false alternative that we can start to dismantle both gender and race hierarchies.
