The article discusses “tripartite anthropology” developed by Henri de Lubac, with particular emphasis on the concept of the “spirit”. The analysis carried out herein aims firstly to reconstruct a coherent anthropological vision from the fragments scattered in various works of this classic 20th-century theologian. Secondly, it aims to show that the vision of “tripartite anthropology” is still a valid response to contemporary attempts to reduce human existence to the body and psyche. In this context, particularly important is the paradoxical nature of the “spirit,” as shown in this study, which is understood as the sphere of human openness to transcendence: it represents both the coping and the center of human nature. Bringing to light this dual role of the “spirit-pneuma” within de Lubac’s theological anthropology is one of the significant results of the analysis presented in the text.

In the late 19th century a reversal of the values linked to the sacred and the profane can be observed. As Religion retreats, Positivism and faith in Progress fill the gap left by the abandoned spiritual belief. A nostalgia for transcendence arises amongst writers. Naturalism turns out to be sterile, but, sill, a belief in God seems to have become impossible. It is in this context that Huysmans writes his novels. The Durtal tetralogy in particular focuses on this theme: desperate, the main character wanders around Catholicism, seeking a sense of the Sacred. He first explores the world of Satanism before the conversion. But even when faith is regained, problems are not solved. In the religious domain itself, Durtal condemns the sacralization of the profane. Henceforth, the Durtal tetralogy manifests itself as a novel of the in-between: from brothel to church, between up-above and down-below, between almighty materialism and bourgeois Catholicism, this misanthropic writer prays for a renewed and primitive form of religious practice in which the individual can access the Sacred again. The quest for the supernatural, through a questioning of contemporary society, becomes a quest for Identity.

Phraseological stocks of all languages contain numerous phrasemes with zoonym components. Inthe paper the author deals with Slovak and Slovene zoonym phrasemes which demonstrate ancient ideas of ancestors about interconnections between animals and the world of the supernatural, in relevant cases she also deals with other phenomena related to the subject of the paper. A number of phraseological units reflect the belief that animals used to have the ability to sense upcoming events, predict the weather, misfortune or death. The units listed in the paper are often rather archaic, however, many of them are still in use or the idea they represent is still alive. The analysed language material has shown similarity not only between Slovak and Slovene languages but also between the mental concepts which form the language picture of the world of their users.

V štúdii sa autorka zaoberá slovenskými a slovinskými zoonymickými frazémami, ktoré akýmkoľvek spôsobom reflektujú starobylé predstavy predkov o prepojení medzi zvieratami a svetom nadprirodzena, v relevantných prípadoch sa venuje i samotným názvom zvierat či ďalším fenoménom súvisiacim s témou príspevku. Množstvo frazeologických jednotiek odráža vieru, že zvieratá mali schopnosť vycítiť nadchádzajúce udalosti, predpovedať počasie, zvestovať nešťastie či smrť. V príspevku uvedené jednotky sú často staršieho dáta, mnohé z nich sa však ešte stále bežne používajú, alebo je živý s nimi spojený myšlienkový obsah. Analýza jazykového materiálu preukázala nielen príbuznosť slovenského a slovinského jazyka, ale i mentálnych konceptov, ktoré spoluutvárajú jazykový obraz sveta ich nositeľov.

Le silence comme signe (in)visible du mal dans l’œuvre romanesque de Georges Bernanos

From Sous le Soleil de Satan to Monsieur Ouine, Bernanos’ novels are characterized by the emergence of ‘supernatural silence(s)’ (Bernanos, 2015 : 679), which can prove to be disturbing. The brutal sign of evil’s appeance in the narrative limits in most cases the character to silence, to verbal incapacity. Indeed, evil has the strength to hold thought and speech in check. That is the reason why the characters that are racked by evil make good use of language so that they don’t say anything genuine nor honest. Bernanos’ writing succeds in defining these silences thanks to numerous ellipsis as well as things that remain unmentioned, embarrased silences, thus emphasizing the presence of the supernatural. Punctuation in particular takes an important part in creating breaks, switchovers within sentences as well as in the narrative. These silences show off an experience that cannot be told. As a consequence, a true rhetoric of what is unspeakable is at stake in Bernanos’ novels. The use of adjectives made up with privative prefixes, indefinite pronouns, rough phrases and other figures of what is unspoken, contribute to explaining evil’s unbelievable experience.

M.R. James is known as a master of the ghost story, giving his name to a sub-genre. This article explores his use of the traditional Punch and Judy puppet show in his short story The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance and the subsequent use by two modern authors, Christopher Harman and D.P. Watt, writing in the Jamesian style. The article considers the association between puppets and the occult before examining aspects of the show and how representations of historic and contemporary performances differ. Finally, the authors’ utilization of the Punch and Judy tradition in the stories is analyzed.

For medieval audiences women occupied a specific, designated cultural area which, while they could freely form it according to their will and nature, was in fact imaginary and immaterial. Women in social, legal, and religious contexts were mostly counted among the receptive, inactive, and non-ruling groups. On both levels, there was a group of features universally defining all women: the strong, virtuous and independent model Aquinas lamented was replaced in real life by the sinful, carnal and weak stereotype, and the erotic, emotional, mysterious, and often wild type present predominantly in literature. Indeed, women were a source of scientific, theological, and cultural fascination because of their uncanny and complex nature, producing both fear and desire of the source and nature of the unattainable and inaccessible femininity. In social contexts, however, the enchantress seems to lose that veil of allure and, instead, is forced to re-define her identity by suppressing, denying, or losing her supernatural features. With the example of Saint Agnes from the South English Legendary Life of Saint Agnes, and Melior from Partonope of Blois (ca. 1450), the article will explore how medieval texts dealt with the complex and unruly female supernatural, and how its neutralization and subduing fitted into the moral, scientific, and cultural norms of medieval society.

This essay inquires into the unique intersection of Erich Przywara and John Henry Newman and explores the re-imagined notions of divine transcendence and the supernatural in their works. Przywara found in Newman a source of inspiration for a more lively presentation of Catholic thought and a model for illuminating the path toward a new Catholic intellectual culture. Newman’s work highlights the actively inquiring disposition of faith, an active search for the meaning of its doctrines, a progressive and unceasing journey that comprises the entirety of one’s life. By showing the changing Catholic responses to modernity and the evolving theological approaches that would come to characterize later twentieth-century Catholic thought, the paper emphasizes how Przywara and Newman contributed to a more vibrant form of Catholicism and a renewal of Catholic intellectual culture that anticipated the Church’s wider opening to the world.

The article deals with the collection of stories by J. Barszczewski Nobleman Zawalnia, or Belarus in Fantastic Stories (Szlachcic Zawalnia czyli Białoruś w fantastycznych opowiadaniach, 1844-1846) in the context of Gothic literary tradition in Russian literature of the 30-40-es of the XIXth century. The author comes to the conclusion that folk motives in the cycle Nobleman Zawalnia... transform under the influence of Gothic literary tradition, which could be perceived by J. Barszczewski indirectly, through the oeuvre of other authors. The usage of comparative methods allows to find out typological relations between the cycle by Barszczewski and the cycles of stories Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka by N. V. Gogol and An Evening on Khoper by M. N. Zagoskin.

Commonly acknowledged as one of Thomas Hardy’s most environmentally-conscious literary accomplishments, The Woodlanders (1887) provides fertile ground for a stimulating and topical ecocritical debate. The intricate correlation between the natural and the human-indicated by the very title-undergirds the structure of the text and creates unique narrative collisions while simultaneously propelling the development of the plot. The multiple references to the sphere of the paranormal-realized in the passages pertaining to local lore and, most significantly, in the descriptions of the setting-reflect the conflation of superstition and uncanniness, which adds otherworldly overtones to the novel. The article analyzes these qualities insofar as they shape the portrayed landscape-specifically, the woodscape-as a realm whose essence continually balances between the fantastical and the real. It also examines how the natural and human elements are reciprocally subsumed by means of anthropomorphic language and how this occurrence can be interpreted through the lens of intertextuality. By focusing on these rather antithetical concepts, I wish to demonstrate how the boundaries between them are elided, thus preserving an aura of ambivalence that pervades the novel.

The folk culture from the turn of the 20th century was founded on the mythical paradigm. Its specific feature was an opposition between the self and the other. It had ambivalent influence on those people and places which, due to actual or perceptual reasons, were placed on the margin of the mainstream of life. This includes, among others, the elders. On the one hand, they were treated by the community with reluctance, or even aggression, because of their decrepitude. On the other hand, they were respected as guards of traditions, and intermediaries with the supernatural, who possessed a portion of its potential.

Ghosts play a very important role in Seneca’s tragedies. They either appear on stage and deliver the prologue or influence events from backstage. Sometimes they suddenly come to haunt living relatives as phantoms or hallucinations. Their influence on the actions of the dramatis personae is considerable and, in most cases, negative or even destructive. Thanks to the fact that Seneca chose to unleash his imagination rather than cling to the technical requirements of the ancient theatre, he could permit himself the luxury of filling his plays with supernatural beings who contribute to the atmosphere of metaphysical awe that makes Seneca’s tragedies so unique and that has become their hallmark.

LA

Constat manes mortuorum in tragoediis antiquis saepe apparuisse. Poetis tragicis Graecis necessarii erant ut fabulam formarent spectatoresque exterrerent. Seneca manibus ad eadem aliaque peragenda utitur, nam quasi omnes eius tragoediae phantasmatibus abundant. Manes prologos dicentes, ut Thyestis umbra in Agamemnone Tantalique in Thyeste non solum historiam Tantalidarum in memoriam revocant, sed etiam, ante omnia, nequitiam suam ut pestilentiam in regia propagant. Non manes igitur, sed spectra infernalia apellandi sunt. Alii manes, ut Achillis umbra in Troadibus Laiique in Oedipo, ex Erebo ad terram adeunt, sed auditoribus invisibiles sunt. Crudeles, implacabiles poenaeque avidissimi, vitam dramatis personarum male influunt. Adventus eorum a nuntiis quasi epico modo narrantur. Nonnumquam dramatis personae in Senecae tragoediis visiones repentinas familiarium mortuorum habent, qui aliis personis invisibiles sunt, ut Laius, cuius spectrum horribile Oedipum in Phoenissis aggredit, Apsyrtusve, qui Medeae se ostendit. Haec malae conscientiae deliramenta sunt. Alii autem manes simpliciter familiares suos, quibus desunt, visitant, ut Deiphobi umbra quam Cassandra in Agamemnone vidit. Simili modo Hectoris umbra Andromachae uxori quasi somnium se ostendit in tragoedia quae Troades inscribitur. Ex his omnibus constat Senecam plus ingenium suum quam conditiones theatri antiqui secutum esse quam ob rem tragoedias suas spectris, phantasmatibus et prodigiis sine ullis obstaculis implevisse. Constat etiam manes mortuorum his in tragoediis magno munere fungi, nam eas unicas aliisque antiquis poematibus tam epicis quam dramaticis dissimiliores reddunt.

This article is a comparative analysis of Woman and Scarecrow by Marina Carr and The Seafarer by Conor McPherson from a hauntological perspective. It aims at discussing the influence of supernatural beings on mortal protagonists as well as addressing the configurations of power and knowledge formed between the characters. Woman and Scarecrow follows the final moments of a dying woman accompanied by the mysterious figure of Scarecrow, who is hidden from other characters. The verbal exchanges between Scarecrow and Woman will be interpreted as a manifestation of the apparent power possessed by the former, the ambiguous supernatural figure, over the latter, a human being, in terms of appropriating the knowledge about the woman’s past. In McPherson’s The Seafarer, a mysterious relationship develops between Sharky and Mr. Lockhart, who knows about Sharky’s past, too. This paper will demonstrate both similarities and differences in the way in which Carr and McPherson make use of supernatural beings that manipulate human characters in the most crucial moments of their lives and will situate the two plays within the recent rise of interest in spectrality in Irish drama.

To many of his critics, Schleiermacher’s Christology signals an explicit weakness in his theological system, as his emphasis on religious feeling and subjectivity seems to undermine any claims of the distinctive revelatory or supernatural character of Jesus Christ. This essay by contrast underscores both the originality Schleiermacher’s understanding of Christ in history and its centrality to his overall thought by attending to the subtle theme of the “supernatural-becoming-natural” in his Glaubenslehre and Christliche Sittenlehre. Here the appearance of Christ yields a transformative influence that operates within natural and historical processes, inaugurating the reign of God that does not abolish the natural world but draws creation to its completed perfection.

PL

Artykuł stanowi próbę nowego odczytania roli odkupienia realizowanego przez Chrystusa w historii i świecie natury. Koncepcja teologiczna Friedricha Schleiermachera jest źródłem licznych kontrowersji i dyskusji, z uwagi na jego rozumienie nadprzyrodzonego i objawionego charakteru Jezusa Chrystusa poprzez silne akcentowanie roli uczucia (Gefühl) oraz religijnej podmiotowości w refleksji teologicznej. W kontraście do powyższej opinii, artykuł stanowi próbę odzyskania unikalnego spojrzenia Schleiermachera na chrystologię poprzez skoncentrowanie się na powracającym temacie „supernatural-becoming-natural”. Objawienie się i rola zbawcza Chrystusa nie oznacza dla niego ani absolutnej nadprzyrodzoności, ani absolutnej przyrodzoności. Schleiermacher opisuje Jezusa Chrystusa jako inaugurującego decydujący i nieprzekraczalny wpływ na historię, a jednocześnie taki, który pośredniczy w świecie przyrody, nie naruszając jej autonomii, aby doprowadzić´ ją do transformacji ludzkiej historii od wewnątrz. Jest to zasadniczy ruch w kierunku doskonalenia i dopełnienia świata i historii.

Private revelation is, as we see on the example of “Fatima apparitions”, undoubte dly the most prophetic of modern apparitions, a manifestation of divine truth given to selected people (children) for the universal benefit of the Church and the world. In contrast to public Revelation, private revelation has as its purpose not the revealing of new doctrine, but rather the guiding of humanity in its eff orts to incorporate more fully the truths of the Gospel already contained in public Revelation. The criterion for judging the truth of a private revelation is its orientation to Christ himself. A private revelation can give rise to new forms of piety, or deepen older ones. It can be a valuable aid for better understanding and living the Gospel at a certain time.

Artykuł omawia motyw domu/domu-zamku, fundamentalny w gotyckiej tradycji literackiej. Na przykładzie opowiadań A.E. Poe i S. Grabińskiego pokazano, że motyw domu jest ściśle związany z duchowością życia bohaterów. Kryzys fizyczny i psychologiczny, naruszenie wewnętrznej harmonii „Ja – dom” mogą doprowadzić do przemiany, degradacji jednostki, mogą wywołać przerażenie.

The article is devoted to the motif of a house in Gothic literary tradition, where the image of the castle-house is fundamental. Based on an example of stories by E.A. Poe and S.

Physical and psychological crisis, inner harmony imbalance of “I – home” can lead to the transformation of an individual, to his degradation, it can induce the feeling of horror.

The essay deals with the concept of the supernatural in Muriel Spark’s novel The Hothouse by the East River, in which all the major characters appear to be dead, while leading apparently comfortable lives. The essay will examine Spark’s paradigm of the mundane supernatural, that is, representation of absurd and impossible as quotidian elements of life. The enigma of the plot (the strange way in which Elsa’s shadow falls without obeying the rules of physics) is not solved by the end of the novel, but rather by-stepped by revealing a grander mystery, that of her otherworldly status. This peculiarity is of high importance for Spark, who is not interested in solution, but in the way people (or characters, to be more precise) react to mystery and attempt – often in vain – to solve it. But Spark’s novel also pushes the reader to realize that what s/he may assume to be irrelevant from the perspective of eternity – namely, our mundanely absurd life and the imperfect memory that tries to contain it – still very much matter and may not be dismissed or reduced to a mere footnote to the main text of divine design.

PL

Przedmiotem badań jest specyficzne pojmowanie zjawisk nadprzyrodzonych w powieści Muriel Spark pt. Cieplarnia nad Rzeką Wschodnią. Bohaterowie powieści, których życie obfituje w dylematy egzystencjalne, w rzeczywistości nie żyją, jak to niedwuznacznie sugeruje zakończenie powieści. Rozpatrywany jest paradygmat „prozy zjawisk nadprzyrodzonych” (mundane supernatural), czyli przedstawianie w utworze literackim zjawisk i wydarzeń uznawanych jako absurdalne i nieprawdopodobne, jako nieodłącznej części ludzkiej egzystencji. Zagadka w fabule powieści (kąt padania cienia bohaterki powieści jest niezgodny z prawami fizyki) nie zostaje wyjaśniona w zakończeniu utworu. Sprawa ta jest odsunięta na drugi plan, ustępując miejsca wyjaśnieniu większej tajemnicy, jaką jest widmowa egzystencja (spectral reality) samej Elsy. Ta szczególna strategia narracyjna polegająca na udzielaniu wymijającej odpowiedzi na pytania trapiące Czytelnika jest charakterystyczna dla wielu utworów Muriel Spark. Z punktu widzenia pisarki, bardziej interesującą od samego rozwiązania zagadki jest reakcja postaci poszukujących odpowiedzi na pytania oraz proces ich poszukiwania. Powieść dowodzi również, że sprawy pozornie błahe z punktu widzenia wieczności, takie jak proza życia codziennego, pełnego absurdów, a także niedoskonała pamięć ludzka utrzymująca to życie w chwiejnych ramach dyskursu, mają swoje znaczenie i dlatego nie można ich bagatelizować ani pomijać jako mało znaczący przypis do boskiego dzieła.

The article aims at suggesting the role of the Napoleonic supernatural in Balzac’s youth novel Le Centenaire (1822) as a counter-discourse to – and thus a locus of negotiation for – his later poetics of Realism. The investigation is held through a socio-poetical, close-reading based analysis of the revenant theme in both Le Centenaire and Le Colonel Chabert (1832-1844). First, the well-known political nature of Chabert as a revenant is associated to Bérigheld as his binary opposite: if Chabert embodies the uncanny persistence of the Empire during the Restauration, the centuries-old sorcerer who haunts Tullius, a young Napoleonic general, symbolizes Tullius’ monarchist temptation during the Empire. Nevertheless, the supernatural powers Tullius receives from Béringheld can be associated with the mythological features the Napoleonic soldiers accorded to their Emperor. If Chabert represent a counter-discourse to Tullius’ supernatural abilities, Balzac’s realism in the Comédie humaine can thus be considered as a reversal of the Napoleonic myth, so rooted in the authors early years.

Present article aims at showing the supernaturalism conception of religious systems of the East against the background of Christian supernaturalism conception based on the Word of God and the conception of New Age Movement which is built on worldview of religious systems of the East. The base of this conception diff ers from the Christian one. It is a pantheist delineation of God, so it assumes there is no real border between Him and creature. This fact changes perception of character of the creation and idea of spirituality diametrically. Because this delineation premises an emanation of divinity, not the act of Creation without violation of the essence of God, it does not mention about the real identity of human being, Divine Mercy, or eternal life at all. For humane-self is illusive and Wight is coming up for process of consecutive reincarnations, which are dependent on karma. Ergo, spirituality of the East does not base on right of reprieve and techniques that are associated with the spirituality are peculiarly gnostic, connected with enlightenment of mind and nirvana, explained by entrants of New Age as stifling or transformation of perceptorium. These ideas have been present in western notion starting from ancient Greek thought through Jewish kabbalah, Christian Gnosticism, esotericism, illuminism, theosophy, anthroposophy and so-called potential of human’s mind development characteristic of New Age’s praxis. On the other hand, transcendental meditation, yoga, reiki or martial arts base on idea of socalled divine qi energy which with suitable techniques, poises, or meditation you can tap inside you or be fulfilled with to get specified benefits, therapic powers, inner harmony, etc. It is a cosmic delineation of God regarded as macrocosm and human regarded as a microcosm defined as a hologram of surrounding reality. What is more, according to religious systems of the East and New Age Movement, human is regarded as a small piece of divine mind and direct emanation of god. They need no God’s Epiphany, tenets, or religious system which would make knowable reality objective or would mediate between them and God. From the viewpoint of this world’s vision, there can’t be any objective truth, because everyone is in possession of it proportionately to their enlightenment. Hence cognitive relativism ant toleration towards different opinions or religious systems, for ultimate instance in this perception of God and the world is only Wight, not Epiphany or any religious authority.
