Does Henryk Sienkiewicz, a man from the age of steam, have his place in the digital age culture? Is this writer, Nobel prize winner, whose novels were once absolute bestsellers still interesting for scholars and the audience at the beginning of the 21st century? Or could he potentially be?

The lecture will try to answer these questions, showing some digital scholarly stories told about Henryk Sienkiewicz's life, work, and reception (for example, his journeys to America and Africa or monuments for Sienkiewicz erected over the years). It will also analyze traces of Sienkiewicz's presence in contemporary culture - including novels, films, and video games.


Bartłomiej Szleszyński - professor at the Institute of Literary Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, head of the New Panorama of Polish Literature team, responsible for creating and operating NPLP.PL, a platform publishing digital scholarly collections, and TEI.NPLP.PL, a platform for scholarly digital editions, deputy director of the Digital Humanities Centre.

His main research interests are literature of the second half of the nineteenth century, colonial discourse in nineteenth-century Polish culture, literary Sarmatism, digital humanities and scholarly digital editions.

“I got imprisoned for rock and roll”: Andrzej Stasiuk and the Literature of Periphery – A lecture by Dr. Krzysztof Gajewski / / in cooperation the Kosciuszko Foundation and the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences

Date of the event: Thursday, April 15, 2021, 2:00 PM EDT


The text comes from: Kosciuszko Foundation - American Center of Polish culture - “I got imprisoned for rock and roll”: Andrzej Stasiuk and the Literature of Periphery – A lecture by Dr. Krzysztof Gajewski (thekf.org), https://www.thekf.org/kf/events/KF_Online_Programs/i-got-imprisoned-for-rock-and-r/.


The literature of periphery tells stories about places, persons, and things that do not belong to the mainstream of history, culture, or politics. The term was coined ad hoc to refer to Andrzej Stasiuk's literary fiction, but it can also be applied to other writers from the history of Polish literature, such as, for instance, Bruno Schulz, Stanisław Vincenz, Marek Nowakowski, Sokrat Janowicz, or, Stasiuk's literary master, Zygmunt Haupt. The magnificent examples from the US literary history can be evoked too, such as John Steinbeck or William Faulkner. In traditional literary theory, one can find the term "regionalism," and to some extent, it is close to the notion of the periphery. The latter contains an internal and strong connection to the broadly understood processes of colonization the former is deprived of.

OPERAS business models survey on open access books

https://jisc.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/operas-business-models-survey-on-open-access-books

OPERAS is conducting a survey of publishing organisations throughout Europe to identify and better understand existing and potential business models to support the Open Access publication of research monographs. The results of the survey will be used to inform the formulation recommendations about how to create a sustainable open access book publishing ecosystem within Europe. In addition, the survey will produce a snapshot of European open access publishing in humanities and the social sciences, and help us to gain a more comprehensive insight on how OPERAS can support the community and build sustainable paths of transition towards collaborative models for open access books. OPERAS is the European Research Infrastructure for the development of open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities. In 2018 the OPERAS Business Models Special Interest Group published a white paper on Business Models for Open Access. The report described the current landscape in which there are multiple approaches to open access publishing. It looked at the business models adopted by OPERAS members at the time as well as emerging models in the USA and at a national level in some European countries.

Monographs remain the crucial publishing output in humanities and social sciences (HSS). Therefore, the OPERAS Business Models Special Interest Group is now compiling a second white paper in which we hope to shed light on publishing practices around open access books specifically. A recent report from the COPIM project identified a variety of models used for open access books. Alongside these models, this survey puts a special emphasis on the idea of collaboration. The rise of collaborative approaches, relying on sharing of information, funds, and infrastructures has been noted in the recent years, especially in the UK. OPERAS would like to understand more about how the HSS publishing community applies or could apply collaborative models for open access books, and what issues it encounters when dealing with them.

The survey should take a maximum of 50 minutes to complete, but may be significantly shorter.

Please complete the survey by 25 March 2021.

For reference, you can find the whole survey as a PDF document here.
