Participation and the Post-Museum
Participation and the Post-Museum discusses the concept of participation in museum practice, as well as ideas that constitute the paradigm of the post-museum.Based on extensive empirical research conducted in thirty diverse Polish museums and drawing upon her own museum practice, the author considers whether museums are democratising, or whether this is an illusion that obscures the reinforcement of the authoritarian position that is historically inherent to museums. Referring to different areas of museum practice, the author analyses not only ‘how’ and ‘why,’ but mostly ‘if’ museums are capable and willing to share their power with the public – and how it affects their identity. Drawing on literature from the fields of political and social sciences, as well as cultural and museum studies, on participation and applicability of the term in museums, it becomes apparent that using participatory tools, even when they empower the public to co-author, collaborate, and take co-responsibility, does not necessarily lead to participatory museums.Participation and the Post-Museum argues that museums rooted in the modernist tradition are usually not ready to share power and responsibility with non-experts from outside the museum world. It will be of interest to academics and students of museum studies, museum professionals, culture management, and heritage studies around the world.

Museums and Centers of Contemporary Art in Central Europe after 1989
Museums and Centers of Contemporary Art in Central Europe is a comprehensive study of the ecosystem of art museums and centers in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Focusing on institutions founded after 1989, the book analyses a thirty-year boom in art exhibition space in these regions, as well as a range of socio-political influences and curatorial debates that had a significant impact upon their development. Tracing the inspiration for the increase in art institutions and the models upon which these new spaces were based, Jagodzińska offers a unique insight into the history of museums in Central Europe. Providing analysis of a range of issues, including private and public patronage, architecture, and changing visions of national museums of art, the book situates these newly-founded institutions within their historical, political and museological contexts. Considering whether - and in what ways - they can be said to have a shared regional identity that is distinct from institutions elsewhere, this valuable contribution paints a picture of the region in its entirety from the perspective of new institutions of art. Offering the first comprehensive study on the topic, Museums and Centers of Contemporary Art in Central Europe should be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the study of museums, art, history and architecture.

Hour of Revenge
In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, the emotional landscape of post-war Europe was profoundly shaped by the intertwined notions of retribution and physical revenge, particularly for Holocaust survivors. While much scholarly attention has focused on extra-legal purges in post-war Europe, the experiences of individual Polish Jews have largely been overlooked.The Hour of Revenge addresses this critical gap, exploring the particular journey of Polish Jews as they navigated the complexities of their post-conflict realities. Katarzyna Person examines how these individuals not only confronted their traumatic pasts but also actively contributed to the reconstruction of their communities.Crossing the traditional historiographical divide between "West" and "East," Person illustrates how Polish Jews moved between these zones before the Iron Curtain descended, how they reconciled memories of the war and their former lives, and how they built emotional communities in the face of loss. The book contributes to a more integrative, multi-ethnic history of post-war Poland and to the global history of societal reconstruction in the wake of conflict. In an era of mass migration, The Hour of Revenge sheds light on connections to pre-war homelands as expressions of integration and exclusion.

Estranging the Novel
To develop a theory of world literature, this book demands that the theory of the novel can no longer ignore literary forms other than realism.Winner of the Donald Murphy Prize for a Distinguished First Book by the American Conference on Irish Studies, and the Waclaw Lednicki Award in the Humanities by the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of AmericaFor centuries, the standard account of the development of the novel focused on the rise of realism in English literature. Studies of early novels connected the form to various aspects of British life across the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including the burgeoning middle class, the growth of individualism, and the emergence of democracy and the nation-state. But as the push for teaching and learning global literature grows, this narrative is insufficient for studying novel forms outside of a predominately English-speaking British and American realm.In Estranging the Novel, Katarzyna Bartoszynska explores how the emergence and growth of world literature studies has challenged the centrality of British fiction to theories of the novel's rise. She argues that a historicist approach frequently reinforces the realist paradigm that has cast other traditions as "minor," conceding a normative vision of the novel as it seeks to explain why historical forces produced different forms elsewhere. Recasting the standard narrative by looking at different novelistic literary forms, including the Gothic, travel writing, and queer fiction, Bartoszynska offers a compelling comparative study of Polish and Irish works published across the long nineteenth century that emphasize fictionality, or the problem of world-building in literature.Reading works by Ignacy Krasicki, Jan Potocki, Narcyza Zmichowska, and Witold Gombrowicz alongside others by Jonathan Swift, Charles Maturin, Oscar Wilde, and Samuel Beckett, Bartoszynska shows that the history of the novel's rise demands a more capacious and rigorous approach to form as well as a reconceptualization of the relationship between fiction and its cultural contexts. By modeling such a heterogeneous account of the novel form, Estranging the Novel paves the way for a bracing and diverse understanding of the makeup of contemporary world literature and the many texts it encompasses—and a new perspective on the British novel as well.

Liberature – A Book–Bound Genre
This book discusses the concept of liberature, a term coined by the Polish poet Zenon Fajfer in 1999 to refer to a kind of writing that fuses text with its material form into a conceptual whole in the space of the book. In her monograph, described by the author as "the fruit of miscegenation between a scholar and a creative writer," Katarzyna Bazarnik explains how liberature is indebted to modernist explorations of the materiality of writing pointed out by Jerome McGann, as well as practices of "presentification" described by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. She flags affinities between liberature and related concepts: N. Katherine Hayles's technotexts, Jessica Pressman's bookishness, Lori Emerson's reading-writing interfaces, and Alison Gibbons's analyses of multimodal literature. Finally, reading liberature through contemporary genre theory, she proposes to see it as a multimodal, literary genre bound to the architecture of the material book.

Reading Together
A lively and thoughtful exploration of how book clubs change the way we read. In this engaging and vivacious memoir, college professor Katarzyna Bartoszyńska thinks back on various book clubs she has been a part of. Through brief discussions of a variety of novels, memoirs, and nonfiction works such as Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Marjane Satrapi’s Chicken with Plums, and Alma Guillermoprieto’s Dancing in Cuba, she considers how the things she has learned in book club discussions differ from what she tries to teach students in her literature classes. As she muses on the various benefits that we imagine reading offers, she describes the unique knowledge that book clubs can provide.

Negotiate Your Way to Success
Negotiation is both an art and a science. It involves the application of strategy, tactics and the right negotiation approach. However, it also relies on the ability to manage ones` ego and emotions. It is the subtle art of persuasion and mental priming. Many decisions are taken on the unconscious level, only then are they rationalized. Some events, both personal and professional, are consequences of a coming together of random moments, and small decisions that often prove life changing. A skilled negotiator needs to master the power of subliminal stimuli and focus in order to achieve their desired goals. They need to harness the moment.This book is a collection of anecdotes from the author's career which she has shared here in the hope that they will trigger empowering memories from the readers' own experiences, so that the next time they negotiate, they can feel confident and empowered.
