A \u2018Retro\u2019 Futurologist. On Stanis\u0142aw Lem\u2019s Solaris<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nSolaris, arguably the most remarkable of Stanis\u0142aw Lem’s works, was published in 1961. It belongs to the canon of the science-fiction genre, and strictly speaking to its version that uses the motif of encounter\/contact with an alien. Although it is already 60 years old, it does not cease to fascinate successive generations of readers. Could it be due to the fact that it is surrounded by the nimbus of modernity and technological advancements? The problem of conquering the cosmos and penetrating its mysteries still belongs to the category of science-fiction, perceived as a contemplation of possible futures. The issue, however, is more complex, because the novel is at the same time new or even avant-garde, and \u2018retro\u2019. In my presentation I would like to highlight some surprising inspirations that fuelled Lem\u2019s imagination. I mean especially a short story by Stefan Grabi\u0144ski \u201cSzamota\u2019s Mistress\u201d and some philosophical ideas by Arthur Schopenhauer. I consider such influences surprising because they do not fit the popular image of Lem as an advocate of philosophical naturalism and a \u2018cerebral\u2019, anti-Romantic artist. My guess is that Solaris is so successful because it is both futuristic and well rooted in tradition. Such is the visionary power of Lem\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ireneusz Piekarski, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin:
On an Idea of Crippled God in Solaris<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI\u2019d like to draw an intriguing parallel between the plasmic Ocean, godlike creature from the Lem\u2019s story, and a vision of Godhead proposed by philosopher and expert in the field of gnosis Hans Jonas, who constructed a neokabbalistic myth to explain God\u2019s silence during the Shoah (The Concept of God after Auschwitz: A Jewish Voice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Solaris was interpreted in multiple ways (sociopolitical, psychoanalytic etc.), the perspective of Jewish theology after Auschwitz had not been used yet to understand the impossibility of getting in touch with the planet and with the completely Other in general. In this view, Solaris can be placed in context of Provocation \u2013 apocryphal review of non-existent book on genocide Der V\u00f6lkermord published by Lem in 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not going to argue that a man of science and atheist, Stanis\u0142aw Lem, built his story on mystical foundation or with religious tools and aims, but I\u2019d like to show that there are imaginative correspondences \u2013 like for example in Bruno Schulz\u2019s or Julian Stryjkowski\u2019s works \u2013 between his visions or ideas and the visions and ideas of Jewish mystics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria Zadencka, Stockholm University:
Lem\u2019s Cosmos and Conrad\u2019s Ocean<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nSeveral parallels have already been observed between Stanis\u0142aw Lem\u2019s and Joseph Conrad’s novels. I would like to pay attention to these scenes and motifs in Conrad’s Lord Jim and Lem’s Solaris that could be related to the notion of the „freedom of the sea beyond the line” (Hobbes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ireneusz Piekarski, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin:
On an Idea of Crippled God in Solaris<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d like to draw an intriguing parallel between the plasmic Ocean, godlike creature from the Lem\u2019s story, and a vision of Godhead proposed by philosopher and expert in the field of gnosis Hans Jonas, who constructed a neokabbalistic myth to explain God\u2019s silence during the Shoah (The Concept of God after Auschwitz: A Jewish Voice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Solaris was interpreted in multiple ways (sociopolitical, psychoanalytic etc.), the perspective of Jewish theology after Auschwitz had not been used yet to understand the impossibility of getting in touch with the planet and with the completely Other in general. In this view, Solaris can be placed in context of Provocation \u2013 apocryphal review of non-existent book on genocide Der V\u00f6lkermord published by Lem in 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not going to argue that a man of science and atheist, Stanis\u0142aw Lem, built his story on mystical foundation or with religious tools and aims, but I\u2019d like to show that there are imaginative correspondences \u2013 like for example in Bruno Schulz\u2019s or Julian Stryjkowski\u2019s works \u2013 between his visions or ideas and the visions and ideas of Jewish mystics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maria Zadencka, Stockholm University:
Lem\u2019s Cosmos and Conrad\u2019s Ocean<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nSeveral parallels have already been observed between Stanis\u0142aw Lem\u2019s and Joseph Conrad’s novels. I would like to pay attention to these scenes and motifs in Conrad’s Lord Jim and Lem’s Solaris that could be related to the notion of the „freedom of the sea beyond the line” (Hobbes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this view, Solaris can be placed in context of Provocation \u2013 apocryphal review of non-existent book on genocide Der V\u00f6lkermord published by Lem in 1984.\nI am not going to argue that a man of science and atheist, Stanis\u0142aw Lem, built his story on mystical foundation or with religious tools and aims, but I\u2019d like to show that there are imaginative correspondences \u2013 like for example in Bruno Schulz\u2019s or Julian Stryjkowski\u2019s works \u2013 between his visions or ideas and the visions and ideas of Jewish mystics.\nMaria Zadencka, Stockholm University:Lem\u2019s Cosmos and Conrad\u2019s Ocean\nSeveral parallels have already been observed between Stanis\u0142aw Lem\u2019s and Joseph Conrad's novels. I would like to pay attention to these scenes and motifs in Conrad's Lord Jim and Lem's Solaris that could be related to the notion of the \"freedom of the sea beyond the line\" (Hobbes).\nI samarbete med Slaviska avdelningen vid Stockholms universitet."},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/2021\/09\/20\/hogre-seminarium-i-polska-stanislaw-lem-three-voices-on-solaris\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/Seminariu_Lem_Solaris.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/Seminariu_Lem_Solaris.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/2021\/09\/20\/hogre-seminarium-i-polska-stanislaw-lem-three-voices-on-solaris\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"H\u00f6gre seminarium i polska: Stanis\u0142aw Lem: Three voices on \u201cSolaris\u201d"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Sztokholmie","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/#\/schema\/person\/062b5a5f61f32b17c98996975db8d556","name":"strozniake","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e0be9897787f9035155a882fde97cc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e0be9897787f9035155a882fde97cc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"strozniake"},"sameAs":["http:\/\/strozniake"],"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/author\/strozniake\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6514"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6514\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6526,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6514\/revisions\/6526"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/stockholm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
