Is filmography a personal hobby of archivists or an integral part of film history? Based on the analysis of the achievements in this field from the last two decades, Marek Hendrykowski interprets filmography as an important part of contemporary film studies. Filmographic research shows at a glance what was precisely happening in the film world. This kind of knowledge and important information based on various authentic sources is something absolutely necessary in the scientific procedures of film research. Film history needs authentic facts as its basis and source of constant inspiration. This is why catalogues, registers, indexes and books including filmographic information are called indispensable companions in archival film research and standard works of reference in the world’s film archives and all film libraries.
The purpose of the article is to demonstrate that Lód by Jacek Dukaj might be interpreted – referring to the methodology of Linda Hutcheon – as a historiographic metanovel. The most important element indicating such a clue is the shift from an allohistorical narration to a story about the nature of history itself. Dukaj treats history as if it were a personal character in his novel. The notable and almost freezing over presence of history in Lód proves that an attempt at this kind of reading enables interpretive endeavours in the context of the entire contemporary historiographic discourse that was initiated by the works of Hutcheon or Hayden White. The traces of postmodernist persiflage allow to look at Dukaj’s novel in a context that is much broader than only word‑building fiction, which is far too often categorized as popular literature. The author of Lód – as I have been trying to show – has turned his work into a treatise about the mechanisms that rule history, posthistory and postmemory, which in the Polish culture seems to be a direct answer to the concept of romantic paradigm, as proposed by Maria Janion.
The author of this article interprets the "Kamienie na szaniec" by Aleksander Kamiński, using the methodology of new historicism and psychotraumatology. In particular, the attempt is put into answering the question whether the narrative of "Kamienie..." is the story of historiographical, ideological, and mythologising, or rather therapeutic and pedagogical aim. The analysis will also address other selected texts (like "Zośka and Parasol"), containing reports of experiencing traumatic events and overcoming the trauma caused by the September defeat and the Warsaw Uprising.
