The latest issue of “Postscriptum Polonistyczne” is the result of the 9th edition of the international academic conference “Polish Literature in the World: Global Transfers of Polish Literature”, which took place on 19–20 November 2024 at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Silesia in Katowice. The subject matter of the volume is broadly understood cultural transfers – from translation and reception to institutional, memorial and didactic forms of presence of Polish literature in the world, as well as the way it functions in the global circulation of culture. The first part titled Presences, Transfers, covers studies on the work of Józef Mackiewicz, also known as Cassandric literature, the autobiographical narrative of Adam Czerniawski, the activities of the London-based Union of Polish Writers Abroad, the archives of Aleksander Wat, and the diplomatic and literary activities of Stanisław Baliński. The second part titled, The Benefits and Drawbacks of Linguistic and Cultural Transfer, addresses issues related to the translation of Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński’s poetry, the presence of Polish literature in Norway, the reception of Polish poetry in Romania, the translations of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s texts into Esperanto, and the difficulties of translating Jerzy Ficowski’s poetry into English. The third part, Glottodidactics as an Area of Cultural Transfer, highlights the role of literature in teaching Polish as a foreign language and inspires further research and academic discussions.
