Abstract EN:
Kultura is a journal of the polish emigration which has acted as mediator between slavic and western literatures since the end of world war ii. The present study analyses the journal's editorial activities froml947 --year of its foundation-- up to 1970 as a procedure to pass on the western thought to the eastern world and to inform the west of the actual situation in poland, ukraine, russia and other european countries under the soviet regime, inspite of censorship. A monthly, kultura stemms from the institut litteraire, a publishing house founded in 1946, translating and publishing the unabridged versions of works by authors censured under the soviet rule. As a center of intense political activity, kultura has been a mediator between the free and the totalitarian thought. Furthermore, kultura's journalists have suggested bright and original solutions to problems resulting from the yalta conference. Kultura is foremost a united team even if its correspondants are spread about the entire world. An invisible bond ties journalists, authors, poets and translators around jerzy giedroyc, its founder, who knew how to surround himself with collaborators having diverse personalities and yet sharing a common concern : true information and free circulation of literature. As jerzy giedroyc has devoted his life to kultura, it is widely considered to be his undertaking.
Abstract FR:
Kultura est une revue de l'emigration polonaise, qui servit d'intermediaire entre les litteratures slaves et occidentales depuis la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale. Le present travail analyse la demarche de la revue pour transmettre, malgre la censure, la pensee occidentale aux pays de l'est, et informer l'occident de la situation reelle de la pologne, de l'ukraine, de la russie et d'autres pays d'europe soumis au regime sovietique, entre sa fondation en 1947 et l'activite editrice jusqu'en 1970. Revue mensuelle, kultura est issue de l'institut litteraire, maison d'edition creee en 1946 et qui a traduit et publie en texte integral les oeuvres censurees des auteurs du monde sovietique. Kultura centre d'intense activite politique, est un mediateur entre la pensee libre et la pensee totalitaire. Les journalistes de kultura proposent des solutions originales et fortes aux problemes issus du partage de yalta. Kultura est une equipe soudee, malgre la dispersion de ses correspondants a travers le monde. Un lien invisible relie journalistes, ecrivains, poetes, traducteurs, autour de jerzy giedroyc, son fondateur, qui a su s'entourer de collaborateurs aux personnalites diverses, mais ayant en commun le souci de l'information vraie et de la libre diffusion de la litterature. Lui ayant consacre sa vie, kultura apparait comme l'oeuvre de giedroyc.
