EUROPE FROM DAY TO DAY. VOL 08, The European War (February – November 1915)

L'EUROPE AU JOUR LE JOUR. VOL 08, La Guerre Européenne (Février – Novembre 1915)

Author(s): Auguste Gauvain / Language(s): French

The 14 volumes of Auguste Gauvain represent an <strong>11 Years Political Diary</strong> of the very origins of Modern Europe as it evolved in early 20th century from a multitude of disintegrations (OTTOMAN EMPIRE…), competitions between colonialist powers (BERLIN-BAGDAD….), diplomatic pinpricks (AFFAIRE AGADIR….), side-theatres of war (BALKAN WARS 1912/13…) and, finally, the unique and global catastrophe of WorldWar I.<br>The idea of Modern Europe originated simultaneously from the efforts of thousands of individual politicians, diplomats, intellectuals to find applicable ways to prevent those European « Bloodlands » (<i>Timothy D. Snyder</i> ) during their own age as well as and for the future of Europe.<br>In 1908, when Austria-Hungary implemented the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the French journalist and Foreign-Policy expert Auguste Gauvain considered this decision of the Habsburg Empire as the beginning of a process which, more or less unavoidably, would result in a European War. Hence, he began writing a daily column on the “Event of the Day” in European politics for the French journal « Les Debats ». With few and short interruptions during WW I he did so on each day until the end of the Versailles Peace negotiations in 1919. In early 1920s he published the full collection of all these columns in 14 volumes with the title <strong>« L’Europe au Jour le Jour ».</strong><br>CEEOL has decided to re-publish all these 14 volumes and nearly 10.000 pages as a contemporary key document for understanding the very origins of Modern Europe, the historical progress it represents and the historical necessities and forces which triggered its development.

Human Security in an Unfinished State - Serbia 2005 -

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Serbia; human security; human rights; nationalism; war crime trials; legislation; prison monitoring; cultural policy; media; education; Serbian Orthodox Church; Vojvodina; Sandžak; international relations;

Political, social and economic problems characteristic of the societies with strong national feelings and plagued by xenophobia and unsolved problems of the past kept weighting the overall situation of human rights in Serbia in 2005. The restoration of basic tenets of Milosevic’s policy (nationalism, populism, fundamental misconception of the international order and reality, resistance to change, marginalization of political opponents and their stigmatization, etc.) and the silent rehabilitation of the Socialists’ cadres (to be ascribed to the Socialist Party of Serbia’s support to the minority government, but shared ideological and other interests as well) called into question, i.e. brought to a standstill reforms and the process of facing up the past. Besides, Serbia is burdened with the defeated national policy and pending state issues. Serbia is still left without a new constitution that would define her as a modern state, and, consequently, without state symbols such as national anthem, banner, etc.

Bartłomiej Beniowski 1800-1867. Cosmopolitical Chartist and Revolutionary Refugee

Bartłomiej Beniowski 1800-1867. Cosmopolitical Chartist and Revolutionary Refugee

Author(s): Emma Harris / Language(s): English

Keywords: Bartłomiej Beniowski; Polish post-1831 émigrés; Polish democrats; Chartism; Phrenotypics

This is the first reconstruction in either Britain or Poland of the life of Bartłomiej Beniowski, a Polish post-1831 émigré who was the only foreign refugee to play an identifiable role in early London Chartism.It places Beniowski’s Chartist record in the context of his earlier political affiliations, and explores his post-Chartist political allegiances. It investigates his success in 1840s London as a mnemonist who developed a system that he called “Phrenotypics,” and his invention in the 1850s of printing techniques which were taken up for commercial exploitation by a group of entrepreneurial Liberal M.P.s.It is the biography of an exceptional and colourful individual, acted out against a vast multi-cultural backdrop, from tsarist Russia to Liberal England via Orléanist France and Muhammad Ali’s Egypt. It reveals a life-long commitment to the cause of Polish independence, along with consistent advocacy of democracy and championship of the oppressed, including vocal campaigns for Jewish civil rights. It provides the narrative of a life that illustrates contemporary European political and social movements and their bearing on 19th-century British labour history.

Inter-standing Bodies in Early Modern British Culture

Inter-standing Bodies in Early Modern British Culture

Author(s): Ana Maria Tolomei / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: dialogue; cultural constructs; body image; Early Modern Culture;

My paper aims at the analysis of dialogue as a form of recuperation while re-shaping and re-organising physical and non-physical bodies (either social, political or moral) in need of a “treatment” in Early Modern British and French Cultures. This kind of dialogue implies movement starting from under-standing to inter-standing and from curing to preserving private and public, individual and collective, dominant and dissident bodies in ordinary or extra-ordinary circumstances. I am interested in the way in which bodies as cultural constructs can be activated or re-activated in a Bakhtinian dialogical manner. I am also interested in the way in which “speaking with the dead” represents in Greenblatt’s view a manifestation of the circulation of the14social energy within written and visual texts. Furthermore, my inquiry leads to the analysis of the images of the self and the other, of the centre and the margins through cultural, national or religious clichés. The physical and non-physical bodies of the self and the other as well as bodily ornaments can also be interpreted from the Derridian perspective of the double-edged “pharmakon” as both “remedy” and “poison” as well as “artificial” and “natural” cultural constructs.

BOHEMIA SINCE THE WHITE MOUNTAIN. Vol I. The Triumph of the Church. Centralism.

LA BOHÊME DEPUIS LA MONTAGNE-BLANCHE. Vol I. Le Triomphe de l’Église. Le Centralisme.

Author(s): Ernest Denis / Language(s): French

I intended to write a book in good faith. I always said what I believed to be the truth, even when I knew she would upset my dear friends; I have tried to judge without injustice the men who are most hateful to me. As for the serene indifference that a certain school claims to claim from historians, I do not believe it and I have never encountered it. Between executioners and martyrs, between tyrants and victims, it is not possible for me to remain neutral; I hate oppression in all its forms, I believe in the triumph of justice, and that is why the cause of Bohemia is dear to me. If she succumbs, which seems impossible to me, the share of inequity, already so great in the world, would be increased. // I did not cover up any of the mistakes of the Czech patriots; I still believe they wrote one of the most beautiful pages in human history. When the day comes when the nations, disillusioned with dreams of false glory, understand that the common interest requires respect for all freedoms, when enlightened consciences have broken the altars of false gods, we will place in the first row of evocative of the new world the Dobrovsky, the Havlíček and the Palacký. They taught us the power of law and the power of dedication; to triumph over the belated hatreds which persist in contesting a victory which is now certain, the Czechs have only to draw inspiration from their lessons. For me, I am convinced that by spreading their names and their doctrines, I will have contributed to uplift the souls of all who will read me and to free them from the prejudices of hatred and pride.

A Political History of Contemporary Europe since 1814. Vol. II

A Political History of Contemporary Europe since 1814. Vol. II

Author(s): Charles Seignobos / Language(s): English

The task in hand, then, is to explain the political transformations of contemporary Europe during this period of eighty years. Being unable to deal with the whole movement of European civilization within the period, I have purposely confined myself to the political history. I have avoided all social phenomena that have had no direct effect on political life: art, science, literature, religion, private manners, and customs. I have sought chiefly to make clear the formation, composition, tactics, and policies of the parties, as being the capital facts determining the fate of institutions. But I have not thought it possible to limit political history to an account of strictly political events and institutions. Aiming above all to explain the phenomena by showing how they are connected with each other, I have reserved room for some non-political facts: local administration, the army, the church, the schools, the press, political theories, economic systems—in all cases in which they have reacted on political life. (extract from Preface)

A Small Lexikon of History and Culture in the Arab World

Az arab világ történeti és kulturális kislexikona

Author(s): / Language(s): Hungarian

Keywords: Arab world; Arab-Israeli War; Cold War; Hungarian-Egyptian relations; Arabic literature; Arab-Hungarian relations; Houthi movement; Gulf countries; Meghreb; Diplomacy; Arab-European peace; Arab modern history; Arab Cinema ;

The lexicon is divided into four chapters. The first one is a detailed introduction, where we present a professional background of our topic, the significance of our research, the structure of our work, as well as the used literature and sources, in addition to an overview of the Arab-Hungarian relations. In the second and longest chapter, we portray biographies of the Arab personalities. In the third one, we examine the most important historical events in the Arab world, such as the Arab-Israeli wars, the nationalization of the Suez Canal, and the parallel crisis of 1956. In the last chapter, we briefly introduce concepts related to the stories and biographies found in the volume.Only a few results of Arabic historiography have been integrated into modern Hungarian research. Therefore, we consider it a priority to fill this gap. The aim of this work is to create a lexicon in which we gather – in the form of articles – the most eminent Arab personalities (approximately 1000), who were/are decisive in political, economic, military or even cultural life and others associated with the Arab world.

The Multiplicity of Contrasts in Guy de Maupassant’s Short Story “La Parure”

La multiplicité des contrastes dans la nouvelle « La Parure » de Guy de Maupassant

Author(s): Emilia Antkiewicz / Language(s): French / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Short Story; 19th Century; Contrasts; Female Protagonist; Hybris

The article is based on the notion of contrast and its role in creating a detailed and nuanced narration with psychologically complex heroes. Contrasts in question include those between poverty and richness, dreams and reality and being and pretending to be. The reflexion is enriched with a theatrical twist by questions concerning the role (or even hypothetical presence) of hybris in the process of creating an intricate composition and the possibility of a tragedy-like reading and interpretation of the short story.
