“…Mother Abagail represents the individual with good values. She served as a surrogate mother for the good people, who took the eastern areas of the United States as their new starting point and Boulder as its centre (Magistrale, 2006). She was considered a "theocratic symbol" or "an earthly symbol of a covenant made with God" (King, 2020, p. 777).…”

Post-Apocalyptic Fiction is a subgenre of science fiction in which a global crisis takes its toll on the human population, leaving only a few with the luck of surviving the scene. However, survival slowly develops into a determining power as the remaining people try to reconstruct a new civilization with the use of different strategies and mechanisms of survival. This study is then based on post-apocalyptic texts, particularly ones that are concerned with pandemics, and carefully examines and compares two ground-breaking narratives of post-apocalyptic fiction: Stephen King’s The Stand (1978) and Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven (2014). It attempts to explore the two narratives in terms of the strategies and mechanisms of survival as the two novelists recapture the survivors’ experiences and their struggle to survive the ongoing post-apocalyptic setting.

“…Dzieci w filmowych i literackich światach Stephena Kinga -podsumowuje Tony Magistralezajmują wąski obszar. Zostają uchwycone pomiędzy dwoma stadiami istnienia: nie są jeszcze w pełni dorosłymi, ale muszą doświadczać skomplikowanych emocji, które popychają je w stronę dojrzałości budzącej jednocześnie lęk i pożądanie 70 .…”

W artykule omówiono wybrane filmy młodzieżowe (zrealizowane w Reaganowskiej erze politycznego i kulturowego neokonserwatyzmu) jako fenomen socjologiczny problematyzujący kwestię implikowanego odbiorcy. Główną tezą artykułu jest, że filmy dla nastolatków oparte na „formule Spielberga-Lucasa-Kinga” były, i w pewnym stopniu nadal są, adresowane nie do nastolatków, ale do kidults (amalgamatu dziecka dorosłego) – narcystycznych wiecznych nastolatków. Autorka wykorzystuje elementy teorii współczesnego konsumpcjonizmu Benjamina Barbera, opartej na idei „etosu infantylizmu” – etosu wymuszonej dziecięcości, który nakazuje traktowanie dzieci i kidults jako konsumentów. Filmy są analizowane w odniesieniu do koncepcji multisensorycznej nostalgii skonsumowanej Gary’ego Crossa (oznaczającej pożądanie przedmiotów pochodzących z okresu dla konsumentów formatywnego) jako psychologicznej odpowiedzi na doświadczanie życia w stresogennych realiach kapitalizmu.

“…Miniseries, released in 1993, also appeared to be «a poor adaptation and difficult to watch» 68 . S. King, being asked about that series, said that he «didn't care very much for «The Tommyknockers» because it just didn't seem that people doing it got behind the project sufficiently and felt the story» 69 .…”

One mistranslation in 300 pages of a book is not fatal, but a bad translation of a title can ruin it. Maria Bobadilla-Pérez INTRODUCTIONAbout half of a contemporary reader's book list consists of translated literature. But have you ever thought why one of these books imposes you upon its magic, involves you into its plot and you are lost in it up to the last page, while the other book, vice versa, makes you put it aside and not even try to read it more? Can it happen just because a book is simply not ʻyourʼ piece of reading, the author is not ʻyoursʼ and therefore your inner tuning fork does not resonate with a book? Or maybe it is not a matter of the author at all, as you read a target text, a translated version and it is a translator who is responsible for a book to find its voice in the hearts of readers who belong to different cultures?History of translation knows a lot of cases when some unsuccessful, careless translations turned brilliant source texts into their mediocre semblance. As a result, many writers, who gained recognition and admiration in their own cultures, the source cultures, appeared to be unappreciated in a recipient culture. Moreover, their popularity in their native countries bewildered the target readers. N. G. Bagdasar'yan 1 , for instance, notes that the foreigners who read the works by Pushkin in translations, are very often surprised about his genius. The situation was analogous to the first translations of the works by N. V. Gogol into English. Up to the XXth century Gogol remained one of the least popular authors in the UK. It was the translation by Constance Garnett published at the beginning of the century that let the English-speaking readership understand: Gogol is a writer of a world-wide significance and, as 13 Тутатина Е.А. Заглавие книги: прагматика, поэтика и эволюция.
