Trying to rediscover his story, the author confronts his image presented in recently published books with the memories he left in peoples’ minds and the image on photographs. The article presents his local social activity, and shows the surprising place he has gained in the history of his village. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11716/6945 Oblicza fantazji – Joel-Peter Witkin Jakubowski, Piotr The article contains two parts. In the first, the Author describes the theoretical background for analysing the photographs by an American controversial artist – Joel-Peter Witkin; the analysis is carried out in the second part of the paper. The realistic, authenticity-oriented visions of W. Benjamin, R. Barthes or S. Sontag are confronted with Witkin’s creativeness spirit – clearly manipulating in matters of the order of reality (and its rules of appearance) and photographical stuff. This attitude is supported by François Soulages’ views on aesthetics. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11716/6944 Opowieści erotyczno-tanatyczne. O fotografiach Cindy Sherman Siuta, Justyna The text covers the coexistence of libido and the death drive in Cindy Sherman’s art. Her photographs show morphing, repulsive bodies. Photography as such is characterised by the two above-mentioned opposite drives: it is a fetish and a trace of the past. The connection between Eros and Thanatos becomes closer in Cindy Sherman’s art. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11716/6943 Fotograficzne wydawnictwa seryjne a ruch amatorski w XX wieku Paśko, Jan Rajmund The article discusses serial publications counted among the literature on photography, which appeared in the 20th century in Poland.
