Baczko, Rousseau and Polish Republicanism by Anna Grześkowiak-Krwawicz

“…Starting from an in-depth knowledge of secondary literature and Polish sources, including the dossier provided to Rousseau by Count Michal Wielhorski, the author shows how Baczko succeeded in offering an innovative reading of this text of Rousseau, understood not so much as an attempt to apply the theories of the Social Contract to Polish reality, but as an encounter of idées-forces, images and social dreams, an encounter based on the reciprocity of an exchange that affects the interlocutors, the conservative Polish nobility and the theorist of popular sovereignty. The Poles will be inspired by Rousseau in their republican claims and Rousseau, in contact with Polish republicanism, changes his own thinking, giving a new meaning to the notions of people and nation.…”

Thesis-Building: Architecture, Alchemy and the Constructive Moment(s) of a Doctoral Dissertation by Willem de Bruijn

“…By revisiting these moments, the paper traces the genesis of the author’s thesis on Architecture and Alchemy and explores the metaphor of construction encountered in the work of cultural theorist Walter Benjamin. Drawing on some of the historical sources of the thesis, in particular the emblem books of seventeenth-century alchemist Michael Maier (1568-1622), the paper argues that the above-named ‘moments’ in a PhD constitute an ensemble of impassioned investment, which can be known as the PhD-pathos. …”
