How Lengt Is Tawnee Stone



Day 2

leitmotif of the second day of our stay was a meeting with Maciej Zaremba and Agneta Pleijel: Polish-Swedish marriage , which plays an important role in the socio and cultural life of Sweden. Matt and Agneta through his work are considered specialists in their fields - so the prospect of interviews with such renowned artists has been very stressful, but also very inspiring.



met at the intersection of two streets. Surprised at the size of our interviewees group - two people had expected, and meanwhile we were eight. This seemingly insignificant statistic proved decisive for further developments. What can they possibly have in common Swedish mothers with young children who drink a caffe latte in a cafe with our visit to the apartment and Maciej Agnety? That evening sobotniemu Swedish mothers owe the custom of visiting the home of our interlocutors. This was by far the most surprising and unexpected proposal for this trip!

first theme, which opened the discussion were differences in mentality between the Poles and the Swedes and the Polish inferiority complex. Very interesting perspective on this issue presented Maciej Zaremba, because he told his aklizmatyzacja looked like upon arrival in Sweden and what gave him the prospect of immigration ("If God exists, thanks to him that made me an immigrant"). Matt admitted that, in principle, to this day feels a stranger in Sweden, as a foreigner can not feel certain mental Swedish figures. A very interesting because of our interest in philology was talking about the structure and function of language. Matt and Agneta talked about common experiences related to the translation into Swedish poems of Zbigniew Herbert and the difficulties of the translation process.

Agneta also told about his first trip to the Polish, which took place in 1981 when, together with Maciej yellow Toyota passed through the country. In Poland, there was the atmosphere of euphoria associated with the activities of Solidarity, whose links with the Catholic Church sparked Agnety surprised, because from the perspective of linking the Swedish labor movement of the Catholic mentality seemed impossible.

Another topic, which was jointly addressed the creative process and sources of inspiration. Agneta debut relatively late, at the age of 39 years, has behind it the experience in scientific work and the work of literary criticism. However, the transition to the other side - from criticism to the writer, which is criticized and analyzed, proved to be extremely difficult. Despite the revision of the relationship between art and science are fascinated by it today - in its two areas are trying to reach the same core in various ways. Attempt to resolve the relationship between art and science take a novel Lord Nevermore, because it shows the relationship between Bronislaw Malinowski, personifying the rational world of science and its opposite representing the abstract world of art - Stanislaw Witkiewicz.

with Maciej and we talked a lot about language in the context of his life experiences. Matt came to Sweden as a 18-year-old not knowing any words in Swedish. Today, however, writing, use only the Swedish language. It is in that language has developed his own style, idioms, and specific uses Swedish words. It does not have the freedom of style, when he writes in Polish. Did not manage to acquire it before leaving the country, and during the stay in Sweden, the Polish language he used only occasionally. Matt has also stressed the important role of language, which strongly changes the context of expression, creating a defined reality. Language implies a different point of view, each culture shapes the specific words, phrases, methods of communication, which shows, for example the contrast between the Polish and Swedish eloquence preference for concrete.

also raised the issues of stereotypes and the associated regional traditions. Localism in Sweden, in contrast to the Polish, very strong. This is evident in stereotypes, which are the subjects of jokes Swedish Gothenburg is the second complex of the city, Malmö is a strong bastion of anti-immigrant, and the city of Umeå fanatics because Norrlandzie always existed a strong religious movements. We also talked about the work of the reporter and the temptation to modify the facts in order to increase the attractiveness of the story, and how to search topics for reports. Matt revealed to us his method-just look at what others can not see and find the "soft stories" hidden meanings, which makes it unique among the other Swedish reporters.
