NaGłos

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The magazine NaGłos ( Laut [read] ) was an independent Polish literary magazine that appeared in spoken form from 1983 to 1989 and as a monthly printed magazine from 1990 to 1996. In the 1980s, it offered a space in which Polish writers and intellectuals could come together despite political repression and present their works to an audience free of censorship. NaGłos served as a model for the spoken magazine Struktury Trzecie , which was founded in the spring of 1987, as well as for the spoken magazine Przegłos , which was created by Krakow students.

history

1983 to 1989

After the dissolution of the Union of Polish Writers ( Związek Literatów Polskich ) on September 19, 1983 by the government within the framework of martial law , some former members met in November, including Jan Błoński , Leszek Elektorowicz , Kornel Filipowicz , Jerzy Kwiatkowski , Bronisław Maj and Jan Józef Szczepański , in the Club of Catholic Intelligence (KIK) in Cracow and tried to set up a spoken literary magazine so that they could continue to express their opinion. In terms of form and content, they referred to the tradition of the literary evenings during the Second World War . The then chairman of the KIK Andrzej Potocki offered his premises and also took over the patronage of the local administration.

In December 1983 the first event under the name Bluszcz literacki ('literary ivy') took place in the hall of the KIK. Later editions were also held in the Dominican monastery . During the first edition, a naming competition was also called, which the literary critic and historian Stanisław Balbus won with his NaGłos proposal . The magazine bore this name from the second issue. Bronisław Maj became the editor-in-chief.

During these collective readings, the front page and the table of contents were first presented to the audience , and then, since the first edition, a poem by Wisława Szymborska - usually by herself - was read. This was followed by readings by authors and literary critics such as Janusz Anderman , Jan Błoński , Tomasz Burek , Tadeusz Chrzanowski , Andrzej Drawicz , Kornel Filipowicz, Julia Hartwig , Tomasz Jastrun , Paweł Case , Julian Kornhauser , Ryszard Krynicki , Jerzy Kwiatkowski , Ewa Lipska , Włodzimierz Maiąg , Bronisław Maj, Adam Michnik , Artur Międzyrzecki , Leszek Aleksander Moczulski , Tadeusz Nowak , Marek Nowakowski , Tadeusz Nyczek , Kazimierz Orłoś , Antoni Pawlak , Jan Polkowski , Piotr Sommer , Marian Stala , Lucjan Suchanek , Szuma Jan Szarugska , Szuma Jan Szarugska , Leszekwa Szarugska Jan Twardowski , Teresa Walas , Andrzej Werner , Wiktor Woroszylski , Jacek Woźniakowski , Marta Wyka , Adam Ziemianin and Roman Zimand . Each event was concluded with features by Jerzy Pilch . In addition, texts submitted by emigrated writers such as Stanisław Barańczak , Joseph Brodsky and Czesław Miłosz were read. Thanks to NaGłos , young authors such as Marcin Baran , Krzysztof Koehler and Marcin Świetlicki became known to a wider audience. Many of the texts presented for the first time in NaGłos later appeared underground or abroad.

In the course of the total of 25 editions, NaGłos became more and more popular and, according to estimates by Bronisław Maj, up to 1200 listeners should have appeared.

1990 to 1996

After the system change, NaGłos was published as a monthly printed magazine from 1990 to 1996. Bronisław Maj was still the editor-in-chief.
