A németszakosság társadalmi természete (1873–1945)

A németszakosság társadalmi természete (1873–1945)

Author(s): Zsuzsanna Hanna Biró / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2012

The goal of the paper is to explore the social history of the teaching of German language and literature in secondary schools in a period in which the German language was necessary for intellect-based careers and in elite education (1895–1945). The researcher’s interest is in comprehending what was specific to humanities education and to the profession of teaching in a secondary school. The most relevant social factor motivating someone in a choice of German studies was ethnic provenience. The marker of being “German” identified in one’s personal name was less decisive in this respect than the ethnic character of the socializing environment of graduates of humanities. A further factor refers to the religious denomination of graduates – Jews, Lutherans and Unitarians can be said to have had more of an affinity for German studies; while the attitudes of Calvinists to German studies were negative. With an obvious over-representation of women, German studies graduates had usually descended from affluent families – and this was also reflected in study results. The most typical occupational areas where the parents of students pursuing German studies usually occur are those of the armed forces (soldiers, security and police), and professions associated with the intelligentsia where the German and Jewish middle-class were over-represented (doctors, physicians, lawyers, bankers, businessmen etc.). Surveys taking on board regions show that the most important environmental factor here was everyday utilization of the German language; thus, members of the German-speaking minority, Hungarians living in German-speaking areas of the Dualist Monarchy and also foreigners who utilised the German language in Hungarian-speaking areas as a “lingua franca” were all keen to choose German studies.

BESZÁMOLÓ A IX. CURRENT RESEARCH IN EGYPTOLOGY SZIMPÓZIUMRÓL (MANCHESTER, 2008. JANUÁR 9—11.)

Author(s): Adrienn Nagy / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2008

Az angol egyetemeken évente megrendezett Current Research in Egyptology (CRE) nemzetközi egyiptológiai konferencia az aktuális, éppen folyamatban lévő kutatásokról és azok legfrissebb eredményeiről számol be; ismerteti azokat a témákat és kérdéseket, amelyek az adott évben az egyiptológia és a hozzá kapcsolódó tudományok vizsgálatainak a középpontjában álltak. A konferencia jellegzetessége, hogy többnyire olyan fiatal szakembereknek kínál bemutatkozási lehetőséget, akik egyiptológus diplomával rendelkeznek és posztgraduális tanulmányokat folytatnak az Egyesült Királyság egyetemein vagy máshol a világon. A résztvevők poszter, illetve rövidebb (10 perces) vagy hosszabb (20 perces) előadás formájában mutathatják be kutatásaikat. A kilencedik szimpóziumra idén január 9. és 11. között került sor 15 ország egyiptológusainak részvételével, a KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology szervezésében a manchesteri egyetemen. 43 előadás hangzott el és 6 poszter is érkezett. Magyarországot a jelen cikk írója képviselte. A szimpózium első két napján a videó- kapcsolatnak köszönhetően a kairói National Research Centre (NRC) és az Alexandria Library közönsége is figyelemmel kísérhette a beszámolókat, és a chat-room-on keresztül ők is kérdéseket tehettek fel az előadóknak vagy kommentálhatták a hallottakat A következőkben a hét szekció (Science 1: Methods and Analysis — History and Culture — Linguistics and Literature — Science 2: Mummy Studies — Art and Architecture — Early Egypt — Religion and the Gods) három, számomra legérdekesebb előadását foglalom össze röviden.

Графитите от Имарет джамия в Пловдив (Критичен коментар)

Author(s): Lyubomir Mikov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2017

The subject of my critical comment is the research of the archaeologist Nikolai Ovcharov devoted to the already non-existing graffiti in the Imaret mosque in Plovdiv (build in 1444–1445). He has documented, described and analyzed 88 graffiti images. They were further represented in an album in the appendix. I would suggest that the documentation and the publishing of the graffiti are among Ovcharov’s most prominent contributions.At the same time, he believes that these graffiti date back from the second half of the 15th century which I find rather disputable. Debatable is also the definite identification of the graffiti pieces, which does not take into consideration the extremely reduced nature of the forms and the nature of the images – utterly generalized, rather conventional, quite unclear and sometimes even unfinished.In the focus of his attention are the graffiti depicting swimming vessels but they are compared only with the non-Ottoman (West European) ship-models. At the same time, in 15th–16th century the Ottoman fleet was a powerful and prominent factor in the Mediterranean. Thus, I believe that images of swimming vessels in the Imaret mosque actually reflect patterns of the Ottoman fleet.The most important questions related to the mosque graffiti are questions about their emergence and preservation until 1980s. I would also suggest that their creators most probably were people with mental disorders.

Стари надгробни паметници от района на Судак, Крим

Author(s): Leniyara Dzhelilova,Akhtem Dzhelilov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2017

The paper presents the authors’ research on gravestones found in villages near Sudak. Most gravestones date back to the second half of 19th and early 20th centuries. Gravestones in the villages near Sudak have their own history. The most ancient one is dated by 1218 a.h./1802–1803 c.e., and the most recent one – by 1362 a.h./1943 c.e. The gravestones found in Khoz, Tokhlukh and Tarakhtash can be classified in three groups:1. Ancient gravestones;2. Fragments (remnants) of ancient gravestones; 3. Top parts of the ancient gravestones – fez, dal fez [turban], sarykh, fragments of an astrakhan cap.Crimean Tatar gravestones found in these three villages were made in pillar on in slabstone form. The face plate contains inscriptions, called epitaphs (from Greek έπιτάφιος – “specific of gravestone”). The other sides of gravestones contain engravings (decorations and drawings): the Islamic symbol of a star and crescent, Koran, ewer and plants, including fig-tree, six-petal flowers, etc.The tradition of Crimean Tatar gravestones, found in Khoz, Tokhlukh and Tarakhtash villages near Sudak, originated from Ottoman Turkey. There is also some similarity between the gravestones in Sudak and the thombstones from the Roman period on the territory of contemporary Turkey.

Скито-сакски източници на орнамента бута

Author(s): Hasan Azizoglu Hasanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2017

The author of the article explores origines and later revival of buta – an almond-shaped ornament with a sharp-curved upper end. The ornament is broadly used in decorative arts of many peoples in the East and is esteemed as the most ancient national ornament of Azerbaijan. According to the author, the earliest samples of buta date back to 8th century B.C.E. and come from the cultures of Scythians and Sakas, where the ornament had sacred and symbolical meaning. The revival of the ornament buta began in 12th century, during the reign of the Turkic dynasty Eldegizids on the territory of Azerbaijan and in the course of time it spread on whole of Greater Persia. In 16th century buta was conveyed to India by the Mughals, and hence – to the Great Britain, where buta became known as “Paisley pattern” after the town of Paisley – the textile-manifacturing center in Scotland. The author’s conclusion, based on comparative analyses of a multitude of examles from applied arts and architecture in whose decoration or form buta is used, is that Persian, Indian and Western cultures have borrowed both the ornament and its name from the Turkic peoples.

COORDINATORS FOREWORD

Author(s): Corina Moldovan,Christian Schuster / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The second issue of the Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai, Digitalia, offers a selection of papers and projects that were presented on the occasion of the first conference of the Digital Humanities Transylvania Centre, DigiHUBB, titled ‘Early digital computing in Eastern-Europe’, held on the 28 and the 29th of November 2017 at the Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca. The conference was inaugurated with the key-note speech given by Professor Willard McCarty, one of the first scholars to enthusiastically support the launch and the activities of DigiHUBB, the first digital humanities centre in Romania. In his plenary lecture, professor McCarty underlined the fact that the prospects of a new centre always brings into mind the causes of the disappearance of once brilliant ones, with the main reason being the lack of an intellectual agenda. In his paper entitled The programmer and the scholar: A conversation which opens the volume, the professor interrogates the meaning of the ‘common understanding’ that is vital for the resistance of the digital humanities as a field, a common ground understood as ‘a fundamentally interdisciplinary and methodological enterprise’ that gives value to the field of ‘intellectual ecology of the arts and the letters’. For McCarty, the programmer and the scholar are not two different kinds of people but ‘two states being in an evolving cognitive resonance’. Thus, the intersection between machine and the enquirer creates an intersection ‘where a genuine digital humanities – a practice of as well as in the human disciplines – takes place.’

THE PROGRAMMER AND THE SCHOLAR: A CONVERSATION

THE PROGRAMMER AND THE SCHOLAR: A CONVERSATION

Author(s): Willard McCarty / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The prospects of a new centre for digital humanities brings to mind those once prominent centres that have disappeared, hence the question of what they did or did not do that would have made the difference. Here I suggest that they failed for lack of an intellectual agenda. Drawing from the early history of digital humanities, an ethnographic vignette of my own research, close attention to the machinery of computing and work in the history of the physical sciences, I suggest a beginning to such an agenda.

THE STORY OF THE FIRST ELECTRONIC COMPUTER IN HUNGARY

THE STORY OF THE FIRST ELECTRONIC COMPUTER IN HUNGARY

Author(s): Balint Domolki / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

After several preparatory activities in the early 50s, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences decided that it is necessary to have an electronic computer in Hungary. The Research Group for Cybernetics was established in mid-1956 and charged with the task of obtaining one. As commercial solutions proved to be impossible at that time it was decided to build the clone of a recently developed Soviet computer. The M-3 was a medium sized member of one of the first families of Soviet computers. Complete documentation and a package of key components were received in the framework of scientific cooperation. (Similar clones were built in Tallinn, Beijing, Erevan and M-3 was later manufactured in Minsk) Building of the M-3 started late 1957 (with the author's participation). Some life-signs were emerging in 1959, while more-or-less stabile operation was reached in 1960. Several improvements were made over the original design. Magnetic drum memory was exported to Timisoara for MECIPT. Despite its low performance, M-3 was successfully used to solve many real-life problems both for scientific-engineering calculations and in mathematical economics. Applications in other fields, like linguistics started too. The most important contribution of M-3 was its role in educating computer experts: many of the future leading personalities - both on the development and on the application side - got acquainted with computing around the M-3. M-3 served academic computing until 1965, extended with three more years at Szeged University. In the first part of the 60s commercial computers started to arrive to Hungary both from the USSR and the West.

COMPUTER ORIENTED HIGHER EDUCATION IN HUNGARY – THE BEGINNINGS

COMPUTER ORIENTED HIGHER EDUCATION IN HUNGARY – THE BEGINNINGS

Author(s): Edit Sántáné-Tóth / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The history of computer-oriented higher education in Hungary started in 1957, when Prof. László Kalmár started the education of “applied mathematicians” at the University of Szeged. (The author graduated in the second year of this course, later called the “Szeged School.”) This paper starts with the computing experience around M-3, the first computer made in Hungary, and the use of this experience for educational purposes. It then continues with the initiatives of the University of Szeged, and, after surveying some basic and higher-degree courses, goes on to the institutions of higher learning offering education in computer studies, all the way to the programmer and program developer mathematician courses started in 1972 at three science-universities. However, the institutions of technical education will not be discussed in such detail; although teaching applied computing skills necessary for the technical field had begun quite early, the teaching of professional IT specialists was started only around 1990. The paper contains a table listing the first elective and founding subjects and the first specializations and independent training programmes offered by each university and college. Finally there is a short overview of the connections between contemporary professors and a list of the first conferences organized for IT teachers in Hungary.The IT History Forum (iTF) within the John von Neumann Computer Society (NJSZT) was founded at the beginning of 2009. At one of its events, it occurred to the author that information about the beginnings should be gathered while the persons in question are still alive. The study took 3 years to prepare and is the product of a large-scale collaboration: a total of 130 contemporary and present day teachers, researchers, and librarians participated in the work. Typotex published the material in the form of a book in 2012 . This study, which provides insight into the everyday lives of 30 institutions, is the source for this paper. (The book includes a name-index containing 300 entries and a list of almost 500 definitive contemporary articles, textbooks and technical books published until 1980.) – The paper is concluded with a brief presentation of the digitalised “Data Archive” (see the iTF website: http://itf2.njszt.hu) that serves to preserve the history of computing in Hungary.

PAST AND PRESENT OF THE FIELD OF INFORMATICS AT “BABEȘ-BOLYAI” UNIVERSITY AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS IN CLUJ-NAPOCA

PAST AND PRESENT OF THE FIELD OF INFORMATICS AT “BABEȘ-BOLYAI” UNIVERSITY AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS IN CLUJ-NAPOCA

Author(s): Grigor Moldovan / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

This article is centered on the story of the pioneering endeavors in the field of informatics in Romania and more specifically in Cluj-Napoca. Stemming from personal experience and reverence towards the very first professors and specialists that opened up this vast and formidable domain, this article which reads as a history of Romanian informatics, has the added benefit of filling in a noticeable gap in texts that take into account this interesting subject. Spanning from the 50s and all the way up to the 90s and tracing the opening, and transformations, and eventual closure of research centers, laboratories, and various institutional collaborations, this article brigs a better understanding of the efforts and challenges that are always seem to be intertwined with progress, but which were eventually overcome through the persistence of brilliant scholars, and sometimes even the occasional favorable policy. Special attention is given to the entity of the Calculus Centre at Babeș-Bolyai University, founded in 1975, as the author himself was its director for 17 years until it was dismantled in 1992. This too however did not mark and end, but rather a new beginning, a different model of institution that was meant to tackle the ever-changing issues informatics face today.

VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO “ALBINA BANK” HISTORY REVEALED BY THE LECTURE OF DIGITAL ECONOMIC JOURNAL “REVISTA ECONOMICA” (1899-1918)

VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO “ALBINA BANK” HISTORY REVEALED BY THE LECTURE OF DIGITAL ECONOMIC JOURNAL “REVISTA ECONOMICA” (1899-1918)

Author(s): Adriana Tiron-Tudor,Teodora Viorica FARCAS,Gianluca Zanellatto / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The paper reveals some valuable insights into “Albina Bank” history from a journalistic lens. This study is based on digital resources, in particular, the Economic Review journal “Revista economica” taking into consideration 20 years (1899-1918). Using a qualitative research method based on narrative inquiry and research techniques correlated to the type of data used, our study resorted to documentary research, historiography or the critical review of the business literature, and discourse analysis. In the analyzed period, the numerous mentions done by Economic Review Journal reveals the prolific activities of Albina Bank, helped and sustained the Romanian spirit and economic initiative. A new attempt of reconstructing the Romanian banking system’s activity of Transylvania was necessary due to the tracing of new possibilities to valorize both sources and a new effort, to achieve its framing within Austro-Hungary’s socio-economic and financial context. Albina Bank should be considered as a prototype, an innovation, as the successful introduction of an idea, perceived as new, into a given social system.

DAGUERREOBASE: DIGITIZING PHOTOGRAPHIC HERITAGE

DAGUERREOBASE: DIGITIZING PHOTOGRAPHIC HERITAGE

Author(s): Călina Bârzu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The tendency to digitize and create online archives has recently become more common among cultural institutions. Digitizing collections and crowdsourcing the information bring more benefits to museums and the public because the digital medium facilitates a wider exposure and the circulation of a more consistent body of work. In the same line of practice, the Daguerreobase Project is a conservation initiative to digitally archive daguerreotypes on a large scale.

THE STORY OF A PROJECT: A COLLECTIVE MEMORY 1950-2000

Author(s): Andrada Cațavei / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

Conceived and started in 2007 as a result of a private initiative, the collective memory 1950-2000 transdisciplinary project is one whose story (creation, evolution, valorization) is of great interest in the history of digitalization in Romania. As one of the pioneering project of digitalization in the country, it focuses on the creation of an online image archive (www.memoriecolectiva.org) and of its contemporary cultural use. Dedicated to Romanian images especially but not only from the 1950-2000 period, is unique in the field both on the Romanian and international level by how it was conceived, theme, concept, complexity and display.Part of its uniqueness and values is due to the fact that besides collecting, preserving, archiving, digitalizing or presenting the images online it has an oral history component by presenting all the images together with records (voice, video, text) of their stories or/and the stories of their collectors or photographers. Thus an interesting and important asset of the project come into be discuss: the fact that the archive is an emotional one even if is created to be impartial, to have a scientific approach, to promote and encourage researchers and artists to work with it patrimony and an important part of the project it’s dedicated to research, study and to the cultural exploiting of the online archive.

Photography for Tomáš

Photography for Tomáš

Author(s): Marián Paukov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

In this paper, I demonstrate the transcultural dialogue which is happening on the basis of partial problems of both russian and non-russian art. This dialogue happens in a historic and a „spatial“ context, which, as a phenomenon, should correspond to the future of geocultural hyperthinking. A huge tradition of antique culture, together with apolonian clarity, has found its own continuation in older classical and modern russian art. The holy trinity of Andrej Rublov and the Mason by the futurist D. Rurljuk serve as a great example. In the movie „Blowup“, by Michelangelo Antonioni, the various connotations of the protagonist’s name – Thomas- have been mostly left ignored. There isa plethora of options to choose from – ranging from Thomas Aquinas up to associations with the biblical figure of the doubting Thomas. Furthermore, through paying my respects via photography to an important art critic – Tomas Strauss– I took upon myself to make use of this paper to try and ponder the nature of photography per se, in the context of its various types and its place within the art genres. Humans are able to perceive an exemplar stability, or photographic affinity, of the world, as we can conclude from the metaphor: „Humans are beings in between God and a frog“. Frogs can not react to static impulses, only humans can. A cinematograph, as a technical principle, appeared only after the invention of photography, but as an innate way of seeing the world predates photography by ages.

Civilization that will survive

Civilization that will survive

Author(s): Ladislav Bučko / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

The article shows the situation of the Catholic Church in today’s united socialist Vietnam. The author, a Slovak misiologist, does this on the basis of the experiment of life at the monastery of Vincentian brothers in Ho Chi Minh City as well as through small research. This qualitative research was carried out by means of in-depth interviews with a research sample of participants, which consisted of priests from the missionary society of St. Vincent de Paul and a Franciscan missionary from South Korea. The results are surprising and show that the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam and the unification of the country under communist rule was not a tragedy for the Catholic Church but, on the contrary, this situation helped her to consolidate inwardly and strengthen its mission.
