‘Such dances are not reproved’ – or the Matter of Consent for Dance in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Era

‘Such dances are not reproved’– or the Matter of Consent for Dance in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Era” is based on original sources. The article is about liberalization of raw opinions on the subject of the dance and dancers in the Middle Ages and Early Modern World. Dance was one of the most meaningful ways of expressing one’s feelings. It was also a very enjoyable form of recreation, social closeness, or even a game filled with eroticism, a flirtation of dancers. And that is why dance and dancers were criticised. But as the dance knows no boundaries, it was practised very willingly by representatives of all social classes without exemption. And that was the main reason of appeasement of clerical critic’s hit her to existing opinion.

Contribution to the Relations between the Czechs and Slovaks after the Establishment of Their Common Czechoslovak State in 1918

Příspěvek ke vztahu Čechů a Slováků po vzniku společného československého státu v roce 1918

Keywords: Czechoslovakia 1918 – 1921; Slovakia; Czech and Slovak relations; establishment of Czechoslovakia

The paper deals with the relations between the Czechs and Slovaks in the years after the foundation of the Czecho-Slovak state. It tries to reveal to what extent its existence was a natural decision for the Czech elites. For Slovak leaders it was in many respects different and as a logical way it began to be perceived only towards the end of the World War I. A natural concern, for instance, was arising from the thousand-year reminiscences of Magyar dominance and the experience with the idea of the unitary Hungarian nation or the efforts of Hungarian government to grant the Slovaks autonomy in the time of the collapsing Habsburg monarchy. Uncertainty was also fuelled by the lack of clarity regarding the future arrangement and the everyday life of the common state that were based on the leading ideas of the founders of Czechoslovakia: T. G. Masaryk, E. Beneš and M. R. Štefánik. One of the manifestations of the different approach of the Czechs and Slovaks after 1918 was their attitude to the Catholic Church. In the Czech Lands the latter was harshly attacked. It became a symbol of the old rigid monarchy and many faithful left it. In Slovakia, on the other hand, a similar anti-Catholic camp did not emerge and apostasies were rather rare. The Catholic faith was firmly fused with the majority of Slovak people. Although the religious situation in Slovakia attracted the attention of political and religious elites in Czecho-Slovakia, it was rather for the vacant bishop sees and unresolved arrangement of the church conditions in the east of the country. Magyar bishops of Spiš and Nitra were expelled from the republic. The Czechoslovak government and Foreign Minister E. Beneš, however, could not agree on the proposed bishop candidates with the Vatican. Only after long and complicated negotiations they arrived at compromise. M. Blaha was chosen for Banská Bystrica, K. Kmeťko for Nitra and J. Vojtaššák for Spiš. On 13 February 1921 they were ordained in the Piarist Church of St. Ladislaus in Nitra. The differences were gradually becoming visible in many other respects as well, including school, political and economic issues. Slovakia lacked qualified officials, teachers and intellectuals. In the liberation of the country a lot of hard fighting for many Slovak localities had to be done. The post-war hardship in Slovakia was often seen as discrimination. Many economic difficulties were politicized. Slovak political elites, therefore, became attached to the Pittsburgh Agreement from May 1918 and began to promote the idea of Slovak autonomy in Czechoslovakia. For this reason, in the summer of 1919 a Slovak politician and priest, Andrej Hlinka, left for Paris with a memorandum to draw attention of the Peace Conference at Versailles to the errors and mistakes of the Czechs in Slovakia. His subsequent imprisonment in Bohemia was just the wind in the sails of the growing autonomist movement that began to speak against Czechoslovakism.

Hungarian Augustinians in Historical and Literary Writings (with Regard to the Territory of Slovakia)

Uhorskí augustiniáni v historickej a literárnej spisbe (s prihliadnutím na územie Slovenska)

Author(s): Miroslav Huťka / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 2/2013

Keywords: historiography; Hungary; Slovakia; Augustinians; Middle Ages

The paper deals with the published historical literature and sources related to the history of the Order of the Hermits of Saint Augustine with special regard to the territory of the present-day Slovakia. It focuses on the order’s historiography from the 14th century up to the contemporary, modern works of historians examining the history of the Augustinians in the territory of the former Hungary. It pays special attention to the 17th century when key works for the history of the whole order appeared (e.g. by N. Crusenius, I. Naevius or T. de Herrera). Besides foreign European and American historians, the author of the paper introduces those Magyar and Slovak authors who, at least marginally, have dealt with the history of Augustinians. In Slovakia several relevant articles have been published so far. They, however, zero in on the Augustinians only tangentially.

Sentence on Earth, Grace in Heaven. Historiographical Contexts of Medieval

Gericht auf Erden, Gnade im Himmel. Hagiografische

Author(s): Miklós Halmágyi / Language(s): German / Issue: 2/2013

Keywords: Middle Ages; Hungary; hagiography; historiography

In biographies of saints it is a frequently used turn, that a person sentenced to death escapes in a miraculous way. In this present study mainly based on medieval sources, I discuss motifs about this subject. Comparing these stories, a lot of questions can be raised. Whether the convicted was guilty or innocent? If he was guilty, why was he saved by heavenly Grace, and what happened to him after his escape? These stories suggest, how important it was for the authors of the legends and for their heroes the protection of life and the possibility to the conversion.

The Hailar Incident: The Nadir of Troubled Relations between the Czechoslovak Legionnaires and the Japanese Army, April 1920

The Hailar Incident: The Nadir of Troubled Relations between the Czechoslovak Legionnaires and the Japanese Army, April 1920

Author(s): Martin Hošek / Language(s): English / Issue: 29/2011

The Czechoslovak Legion in Russia were employed in the Allied intervention from 1918 to 1920 on the side of the anti-Bolshevik regime of Admiral Kolchak, who in turn was supported by the Allies. This military service was very unpopular among the legionnaires who were impatient to return home. Nevertheless, they accepted the necessity of their engagement as a powerful argument for the victorious world powers to recognize Czechoslovakia as an independent state after the First World War. By the end of 1919, the Kolchak regime had fallen under the Red Army offensive and suffered the outbreak of many uprisings in the hinterland. This marked the end of Allied intervention, and all surviving forces, including the Czechoslovak Legion, started evacuating from Siberia. However, to make it to the ships at Vladivostok, the legionnaires were now ready to fight anybody, friend or foe, who stood in their way.

View and vote: another experience of the psychoanalytic reading of works of Andrei Platonov

Взгляд и голос: еще один опыт психоаналитического прочтения произведений А. Платонова

Author(s): Susumu Nonaka / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 29/2011

Оправданность использования психоаналитических понятий при анализе литературных произведений кажется весьма спорной, если под психоанализом понимать область психологических наук, с точки зрения которой можно подходить к литературным произведениям как к феномену человеческой психики. При этом остались бы в стороне особенности тех художественных структур, которые необходимо рассматривать независимо от уровня психологической деятельности.

"Andrei Rublev'' by Andrei Tarkovsky: The interpretation of Russian history in the context of Soviet culture

«Ан­д­рей Руб­лев» А. Тарковского: Интерпретация русской истории в контексте советской культуры

Author(s): Sanami Takahashi / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 29/2011

Являясь наследниками традиций русской литературы, многие советские кинорежиссеры подвергались давлению, их произведения часто запрещали или задерживали на пути к зрителю. Так, в послевоенные годы А. Аскольдов подвергся преследованиям из-за своего полемического фильма «Комиссар » (1967 г.), в 1974 г. внезапно был арестован С. Параджанов по сфабрикованному обвинению.

Of Interpretation and Stolen Kisses: From Poetics to Metapoetics in Chekhov’s “Potselui” (1887)

Of Interpretation and Stolen Kisses: From Poetics to Metapoetics in Chekhov’s “Potselui” (1887)

Author(s): Michael Finke / Language(s): English / Issue: 29/2011

Among the underappreciated areas of Chekhov’s poetics is his frequent operation at the metapoetic level, often in works that, on the surface, appear thoroughly referential. Many of Chekhov’s works not only manifest, but actually portray aspects of the creation and reception of literature (and other art forms). A tendency toward self-reflexivity was evident in Chekhov’s very first publications, as is apparent in the title of his second work, “Chto chashche vsego vstrechaetsia v romanakh, povestiakh i t. p.?” [“What Is Most Often Encountered in Novels, Tales, and So On?”]; arguably, it persisted to the very end of his life: the humorous anecdote he related to his wife shortly before dying in Badenweiler, which involved a resort hotel’s clientele waiting futilely for their evening meal, unaware that the chef had abandoned his post, surely anticipated Chekhov’s own imminent departure from this world.

The legacy of Yevgeny Zamyatin, and modern Russian anti-utopia

Наследие Евгения Замятина и современная русская антиутопия

Author(s): Boris Lanin / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 29/2011

Особенности политико-культурной ситуации в России начала XXI века вызвали к жизни ряд новых литературных антиутопий. Появились также и новые литературоведческие работы, посвященные утопии и антиутопии в русской литературе. Накопился достаточный материал для концептуального изучения, который может быть рассмотрен с точки зрения продуктивности традиций классического русского антиутопического романа «Мы» Евгения Замятина. Цель нашей статьи – показать продуктивность замятинских традиций в современной русской литературной антиутопии.

Author(s): Sergey Abashin / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 29/2011

Джеймс Скотт в книге «Благими намерениями государства» (в английском варианте “Seeing Like a State”) рассматривает планы советской коллективизации 1930-х годов как один из вариантов («чрезмерно мускулистая версия») идеологии высокого модернизма, который довел веру Нового времени в науку, прогресс и возможность на этой основе рационализации и стандартизации государственного управления до наиболее экстремальных и масштабных попыток вмешательства в общественную жизнь и ее перестройки.
