200 godina Friedricha Engelsa

Author(s): / Language(s): Croatian,Serbian

This anthology book is published on the occasion of the bicentennial of the birth of Friedrich Engels, an exceptional thinker and theorist of the revolution. Editors Maroje Višić and Miroslav Artić gathered renowned domestic and international scientists who tried to reevaluate Engels' works and his scientific contribution. The idea behind the book is to point out the everlasting value and significance of Engels’ revolutionary philosophy. Contributing authors offered analytical reading of Engels' ideas, addressing pressing issues in economics, politics, religion, feminism, ideology and in other segments of contemporary society. The papers in an anthology are organized under the chapters: The Reception of Engel’s Philosophy, Actuality of Engels Today with subchapters on working-class and precariat, peasantry as the subject of change, early Christianity as an inspiration; and the last chapter is Revalorization of Family and State. The first chapter tackles the questions if Engels was more than an interpreter of Marx or simply the first Marxist who contributed to the banalization of Marx. It then investigates reception of Engels’ philosophy in ex-Yugoslavia specifically and in philosophical theory in general. The second chapter demonstrates actuality and relevance of Engels today by discussing the topics of working-class and precariat, by making comparison between early industrial society and contemporary society and by tracking development of socialism from utopia to a science. Chapter also deals on the peasantry whose role as a subject of change is thoroughly problematized. Special part of the chapter is dedicated to the influence of the practice of early Christianity on the formation of Engels’ revolutionary idea and to what extent original Christian community served affected the development of Engels’ thought. Final chapter brings papers that, under new circumstances, re-examine the understanding of the state-family relation and their dynamic. This comprehensive anthology attempted to revalorize and appraise Engels’ own contribution to science and philosophy 200 years after his birth. For this it was necessary to “divorce” Engels from Marx so that the fallacy of statement that Engels was second violin to Marx becomes striking.Chapter one tackle the question of whetherEngels was more than an interpreter of Marx or simply the first Marxist to contribute to the banalization of Marx.= Engels' reception is then examined both in the former Yugoslavia and in philosophical theory in general.Special part of the chapter is dedicated to influence of the practice of early Christianity on the formation of Engels’ revolutionary idea. That is, to what extent the examples of the original Christian communities influenced the development of Engels' thought

Author(s): Valentin Spiridonov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2013

In 1813 Napoleon Bonaparte was confronted by a new powerful anti- French coalition. The decisive battle, popularly referred to in history books as the Battle of the Nations, was fought in the autumn of 1813 at Leipzig, in Saxony.

290 лет со дня смерти Константина Брынковяну

Author(s): Dan I. Khaidarly / Language(s): Russian Issue: 6/2004

The author reviews some debatable issues of life and deeds of Tara Romaneasca’s ruler Constantine Brancoveanu. During his rule, Constantine Brancoveanu showed himself as an advocate of the Orthodox faith, first of all. He aimed to reestablish the united Orthodox area on the Balkans by driving away the Turks from Europe and destroying the Austrian Habsburgs’ efforts to subdue the Orthodox church to the Pope of Rome on the captured territories. The rulers’ cultural and educational activities to support the Orthodox faith were expanding across the boundaries of the Balkan peninsula. During Constantine Brancoveanu’s rule Tara Romaneasca was thought to be a protector of all oppressed Orthodox believers. The ruler’s most active efforts were aimed at building military and political unions against the Turks. These unions had to involve Orthodox nations of the Balkans. In his foreign policy he relied, primarily, on Russia as an orthodox state, hoping to get free from the so called “Turkish presence” with its help and to fight the Catholic expansion. Constantine Brancoveanu died because of a treason. Another issue considered by the author of this article is confessional aspect of interethnic relations.

500 de ani de la Reforma Protestantă – semnificația pentru societatea și democrația germană

Author(s): Ulrich Sarcinelli / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2019

Die Reformation vor 500 Jahren gilt als welthistorisches Ereignis. Sie hat die Staatsbildung vor allem in Europa und in der westlichen Welt beeinflusst und durch Bildungsmobilisierung gesellschaftliche Emanzipationsbewegungen sowie Menschenrechtsentwicklung nachhaltig befördert. Dennoch: Die religiösen Freiheitsideen der Reformatoren waren nicht der Vorläufer des modernen demokratischen Verfassungsstaates und der direkte Auftakt zur europäischen Freiheitsgeschichte. Mit Reformation und Gegenreformation wurden nicht nur religiös-weltanschauliche Pluralisierung möglich, sondern auch ein langer Prozess der Säkularisierung eingeleitet, zumindest in Westeuropa. Die Reformation war eine Revolution des Geistes. Sie gab Anstöße zur Selbstermächtigung des Menschen (self-empowerment of humans) und beförderte die Entstehung eines selbstbewussten Bürgertums. Dies bleibt als reformatorisches Vermächtnis und Aufgabe in der globalisierten Welt der Gegenwart: Die Auseinandersetzung mit Pluralität und kultureller Vielfalt sowie die Erkenntnis, dass der Kampf um die Freiheit nur mit der Übernahme von Verantwortung erfolgreich sein kann

A Balassa család konyhája és konyhai eszközei a kora újkortól a 19. század közepéig

Author(s): Balázs Füreder / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 01/2018

Documents related to alimentary history can be divided into three major groups with regard to the Balassa family. The first contains account books and the purchasing lists. The second group is constituted by the inventories, and the third by those family letters that concern gastronomical issues. Seventeenth and eighteenth century sources mainly deal with the equipment of the kitchen, and occasionally with its arrangement. Nineteenth century documents clearly attest that the medieval open range had definitively disappeared from the family kitchens by the middle of the century.

A bear and a clockmaker: on origins of “Russian bear” stereotype in Switzerland in the second half of the 19th century

Author(s): Magdalena Żakowska / Language(s): English Issue: Supplement/2020

The article analyses the specific attitudes of the ‘Russian Bear’ metaphor in the German-language Swiss press in the second half of the 19th century: in the all- European context as well as in the context of its role in building the Swiss national identity. The author has proven that there exists a connection between the Swiss image of Russia and the ‘colonial discourse’ (described by Edward Said) in that period. The article indicates the great role of the ‘bear’ metaphor within the key binary oppositions, distinctive for that discourse: West – East, culture – nature, civilization – barbarity, democracy – despotism. It analyses as well the typical Swiss way of perceiving Russia – through the prism of the ethical discourse, which had enabled the 19th century Helvetians to play the role of ‘Europe’s conscience.’ The author indicates that – while using the ‘Russian Bear’ metaphor – the 19th century Swiss press used to categorize Russia as an antithesis of the countries that personified the main attributes of the culture of the West. While making oppositions between the Russianness and the Germanness the Swiss press was building such oppositions as: order – chaos, creation – destruction, reason – irrationality, self-control – irritability. The ‘Russian Bear’ as a partner of the French Marianne used to personify an antithesis of the French refinement. The ‘Russian Bear’ metaphor compared with the symbol of Helvetia used to serve to build oppositions between the liberal, wealthy, democratic Switzerland and Russia, which was perceived as a severe ‘Eastern despothy’. The paper was originally published as Niedźwiedź i zegarmistrz. U źródeł stereotypu „rosyjskiego niedźwiedzia” w Szwajcarii w drugiej połowie XIX w., “Klio” 2012, vol. 20 (1),pp. 171–200, DOI: 10.12775/KLIO.2012.006.

A Comparative Study of the Perception of Railways among Serbian and Bulgarian Intellectuals, 1860s – 1870s

Author(s): Momir Samardžić / Language(s): English Issue: 3-4/2015

Our article analyses different perspectives on railway construction on the Balkans among Serbian and Bulgarian intellectuals, politicians, economists, leaders of national liberation movements. Our main thesis is that different discourses on economic development and railway construction were largely determined by the different dynamics of social development in Serbia and among Bulgarians, and their process of national liberation and that various authors approached the issue of economic development, concept of free trade or protectionism and other issues through the prism of their own formal education and/or experience gained by the analysis of their community within the Ottoman Empire, faced with the rising pressure from foreign factors due to the slow incorporation of the Balkans into the modern capitalist world system.
