On December 18 and 19, 2021, the international scientific online conference “Homo agens” by Stanisław Vincenz will be held.
“Stanisław Vincenz’s Homo agens” is a catchphrase inspired by the modern experience of the pandemic as a time that calls for action.
The focus of the conference is the biography and literary and intellectual legacy of Stanisław Vincenz, an author and philosopher who connects the idea of freedom with action.
The organizers will also offer a targeted, but also unlimited reading of “Polonina”, “Post-war vicissitudes of Socrates”, “Dialogues with the Soviets”, essays, drafts and correspondence, in order to once again hear the voice of Vincenz, who was a witness and participant in several historical turning points and dramatic social processes: the industrial revolution in the Eastern Carpathians, the birth of nationalism, which destroyed the essence of local communities, both World Wars, genocide, emigration and isolation
The NGO “All-Ukrainian Democratic Forum” will be presented at the conference by acting chairman of the board Yaryna Yasynevych with a report “Promotion of Vincenz’s heritage in Ukraine” and project manager Maria Gurska on the topic “Film “On the High Uplands”: Polish-Ukrainian co-production”.
