Since 2023, an Associate Professor at the Institute of
Romance Studies at the University of Łódź, Department of Romance Literature
Studies. Since October 2014, an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Romance
Studies, Department of Romance Literature Studies, University of Łódź; from
2006-2014, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Classical Philology,
Department of Greek Literature and Mediterranean Culture, University of Łódź;
in February 2010, obtained the title of Assistant Professor (maître de
conférences) awarded by the French Ministry of Education in two fields: ancient
language and literature (CNU section 08, qualification no. 10208204707) and
epistemology, history of sciences and technology (CNU section 72, qualification
no. 10272204707).
All my research after obtaining a Ph.D. (2007) has
focused on the broad reception of Antiquity in sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century France. In my work, I have consistently addressed issues
not only in the history of old books, the edition of texts at that time,
ancient medicine, and emblematic art, but also ancient rhetoric and its
reception, history of medicine, and the broad history of ideas, science, and
art. Most of the works were written in French (51), but also in Polish (14) and
English (5). All works were published in foreign and Polish journals applying
the peer-review procedure or as chapters in collective monographs in foreign
languages and Polish, which were published in scientific publishers in Poland
and abroad. After obtaining the Ph.D. degree, I published 1 scholarly-critical
edition with an extensive introduction and scientific apparatus, 1 monograph, 1
co-authored monograph, 50 scientific articles in journals listed on the former
ERIH list and the MNiSW list, 24 chapters in scientific monographs. I was also
a co-editor of 4 scientific monographs in French and 2 scientific monographs in
Polish.
The social sense of the conducted research has two
dimensions for me. The first concerns raising awareness of the cultural
heritage of past epochs - I am the author of 12 popular science articles
(Kronika Uniwersytecka. Pismo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego 2009-2018), which I value
for popularizing science and knowledge. In our contemporary world, the
reception of antiquity or the Renaissance cannot be merely the subject of
research by a scholar confined to their study; it is and should be a way to
show the extent to which the culture we live in today absorbs the riches of the
past. I believe that reflection on humans - literary, philosophical, or
figurative - provides excellent material for research on the closeness of two
worlds: the old (Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance) and the modern. Moreover,
we find many examples showing that, although that world is very distant from us
in time, paradoxically, its presence can be found almost at every turn. The
second sense is purely practical and involves using acquired knowledge to save
our common heritage in Poland and Europe (e.g., preparing catalogues of old
prints in the Worth Library in Dublin, the collection of the Discalced
Carmelite Library in Kraków, or old medical prints in Latin, French, and
Italian in the Section of Old Prints of the University of Łódź Library).
Reception of Antiquity in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries in France, ars emblematica in early modern
Europe, ancient ars memorativa and its reception, ancient rhetoric and
its reception, history of ancient medicine and its reception, history of the
book in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, reception of Antiquity in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in France.
