Ikoniczne i literackie teksty w przestrzeni nowoczesnej dydaktyki
(Eng. Iconic and literary texts in the modern didactics’ space)
This book is of great importance, as it meets the most pressing needs of contemporary Polish language didactics. On the one hand, it allows teachers to better prepare students for the new matura (secondary school leaving certificate), but on the other, it deepens their understanding of the specificity of contemporary culture, which is increasingly syncretic, blurring the boundaries between traditional genres and types of art.
In this monograph, we are dealing with a whole set of extremely interesting analytical and interpretative proposals, convincing us that universal interpretative procedures enable a deeper understanding of various cultural texts: both verbal and visual.
Ikoniczne i literackie teksty w przestrzeni nowoczesnej dydaktyki prove that modern didactics is not helpless in the face of contemporary challenges and has a great deal to offer students of Polish Studies and teachers in order to make their efforts to introduce the young generation to national and universal culture, to the space of humanistic education, as fruitful as possible, because it takes into account the change of the cultural paradigm.
From a review by prof. dr hab. Grażyna Tomaszewska
‘Equal’ reading of literary and iconic texts, understood in the dimension of complementary reading, the ability to interpret the text, should open up new horizons for the contemporary young viewer of the world of culture, literature and art to search for new meaning, activate the mechanisms of new vision and new sensitivity to the reception of the arts.
The book therefore focuses attention on the relationship between iconic text and literary text, or rather, in a broader sense, verbal text and visual text, in order to realise that a subject, issue, thought, emotion or impression can be written down and expressed in different languages of art, and that the contemporary tendency to mix languages, making deviations from the once prevailing rules, also forces a redefinition of the notions of interpretation-sense-meaning.
