About<\/h2>\n

The world of the Witcher has fascinated readers and gamers for years. What makes this story remain alive and open to new interpretations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We invite you to a meeting devoted to the phenomenon of the Witcher and different ways of interpreting Andrzej Sapkowski\u2019s work. It will be a conversation about stories, characters, monsters and the questions that fantasy raises beyond the boundaries of the fictional world.<\/p>\n

Our guests will be Beata Jewiarz, an actress and the Polish voice of Yennefer in the game \u201cThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt\u201d, and Maciej Wodzi\u0144ski, a philosopher from UMCS. The conversation will be moderated by Przemys\u0142aw G\u0142uchowski.<\/p>\n

We will hear excerpts from the books in Beata Jewiarz\u2019s interpretation and talk together about what the Witcher tells us about ourselves. We welcome both fans of the books and games and those who would like to discover the world of Geralt of Rivia for the first time.<\/p>\n

Maciej Wodzi\u0144ski<\/strong> \u2013 neurodivergent philosopher from UMCS in Lublin, retired marcher, passionate badminton player, and, on top of that, a self-proclaimed Witcherologist and carpenter. His academic interests focus on the philosophy of psychiatry and mental well-being in a broader sense. In his research, he mainly asks how we can better understand the world as seen through another person\u2019s eyes. Personally, he is in love with Greece. He still, although somewhat clumsily, tries to engage in dialogue with the thought of its great dead thinkers, searching in these conversations for a \u201cway back\u201d to their long-forgotten way of experiencing reality.<\/p>\n
