Call for Papers, Terminus 2/27: Wczesny humanizm poza Italią
Zapraszamy do publikowania w „Terminusie”, kwartalniku wydawanym przez Wydział Polonistyki UJ. Zeszyt 2/2027 ma być poświęcony przede wszystkim tematowi WCZESNY HUMANIZM POZA ITALIĄ
Early Humanism beyond Italy
Emerging in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Italy, humanism quickly became a phenomenon that exerted influence on other European countries. Awareness of the significance of humanist culture – its ideals as well as the texts discovered and produced by humanists – was present in many regions of Europe even before the decline of medieval cultural dominance. At the same time, various forms of the reception of early humanism contributed to shaping the nascent culture of the Renaissance. For the forthcoming issue of Terminus, we invite submissions addressing the broadly understood problem of the reception and dissemination of early humanism in regions where it had not yet become a dominant cultural paradigm or a fully developed intellectual movement. We are particularly interested in different forms of the circulation of humanist thought, modes of its appropriation, the functions of humanist models, and their presence in manuscript culture. We also encourage reflection on textual variance and the modes of transmission of texts – from manuscript to print.
Submitted articles may address, among other topics, the following issues:
- humanism in manuscript culture
- the reception of Italian texts beyond Italy
- practices of appropriating humanism
- the use of humanist texts as models of imitation
- textual variance
- the coexistence of medieval and humanist cultural models

Literature in Exile Between ‘Authorship’ and ‘Translation’: The Central and Eastern European Experience
This conference aims to examine the complex relationship between ‘authorship’ and ‘translation’ in the work of the 20th-century Central and Eastern European writers in exile who were also translators. In the context of the reassessment of ‘literariness’ in the latter half of the 20th century, the conference is particularly focused on the overlapping relationship between both these concepts, which are seen as interrelated, historically variable categories of literary creativity of exiled writers in redefining themselves against the nationalist narratives. The workshop will thus contribute to the discussion on cultural translation and post-national literature in general.
