Научният Еверест - мечта или реалност

Author(s): / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Russian

The academic forum “Literature of the Recent Past (1944-1989)”, organized by the Faculty of Philology at the South West University, combined the efforts of literary theorists of several generations to reflect on that part of Bulgaria’s recent past which has already turned into history. However, this history has not been completed yet in a comprehensive and objective manner. The aim of the forum was to create the proper discourse in which the history of literary theory writing will be attributed a multifaceted pluralistic ring. The project was a part of the attempt to reveal the Bulgarian literary history not only from the point of view “the history of generals”, but from the perspective of cultural identity manifestations on a national scale.

„Buntovna” 68. i još neke godine u Istri

Author(s): Darko Dukovski / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

The crisis of the „socialist” society was made „known” to the Yugoslav public through the student protest and vociferous critique by young intellectuals, mostly of „leftist” leanings (although those with „right wing” inclinations also took part in the „movement”). Publicly displayed dissatisfaction and revolt of the students were the first overt critique of the „self-managing socialism” as seen by the Party, i.e. its leaders. With their acts and demands, the students asked the State to prove its legitimacy, pitching themselves against it and bringing its officials (the „red bourgeoisie”) to book. The most „revolutionary” consequence of 1968 was demystification of the government and the system. According to the demands the students voiced, it was the continuation of the „revolution” or at least the „return to the original revolutionary principles”. The „revolutionary students” declared the Zagreb University the „Socialist University of the Seven Secretaries of the SKOJ”, and the Belgrade University the „Red University Karl Marx”, which itself tells enough about their goals „(…) or it was just a gag or a cheap trick”. Zagreb experienced no riots or a strike but a week’s turbulences left their mark. Particularly on those who were kicked out of the University and who lived for years on illusions that they had been „revolutionary students”. That spirit of the 1968-rebellion, of change, liveliness, of dispersing boredom and of possibility of choice was felt in Istria solely through the struggle for freedom of cultural activity and unconventional works of groups of young cultural activists and artists. Nothing particularly important happened in Istria in 1968 that could be explained as a consequence of students’ unrest, of radical left-wing leanings, anarcho-liberalism, etc, except for participation in the unrests of few students from Istria, some of whom were pardoned and some not. The turbulences which were ideologically closest to students’ demands for free speech and other „civic” liberties, played out in the field of culture, i.e. among the cultural activists. The main question was what kind of culture was needed and who needed it unencumbered with daily politics and dictated by Party committees. During the belated aftermath of the „anarcho-liberal” ideas a group of young cultural activists was founded in Pula in 1970, independent of the Communist Party, the Martica hrvatska or the Čakavski sabor , who saw their contribution to culture and arts in relentless critique of the society and on the level of European cultural achievements and the ideas of the „New Left”. The most important event was the founding of an informal group of young enthusiasts, cultural workers, who would actively participate in forming politicsfree culture of the city: the Author Group Pol 5. Their cultural actions were, apart from publishing the journal Trefi lo, organizing photo exhibitions-cum-poetry reading evenings, showing of amateur films etc. For these purposes they made contacts with the Youth Literary Club Istrian Combatant and the Experimental Youth Scene. Members of these organizations had dual membership in both organizations. These very open-minded societies which readily accepted every gifted young individual. Some individuals were active in youth associations such as the Author Group Pol 5, the Experimental Youth Scene and the Literary Club Istrian Combatant, taking part in social cultural activities, but had no ambitions to create movements. Their interest in social and political processes remained in the realm of theorizing and cultural essays.

Estetyka sytuacji edukacyjnych

Author(s): Danuta Waloszek / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In the face of increasing knowledge, fewer and fewer arguments supporting teacher’s actions can be found in philosophy and epistemology, but more in the culture. The sense of modern education is creating, not giving the news, that is why there is a need of changing a role of the teacher — Leaving the method based on introducing him into certain roles and replacing it with the method promoting the attitude to culture.The teacher should learn how to create human’s educational space — As a student defending himself against the capture, the teacher should serve its development, not only the interest of different social ranks or political classes.Situated in culture, mostly because of speech, the teacher accomplishes various aesthetics, close to postmodern forms of communication between the human and the world. I understand aesthetics, as M. Bachtin thought, not only as a sphere concerned with beauty, but as a surface of thinking about the world, acceptable behavior and complex social experience. In this context aesthetics allows analyzing forms of arranging educational situations. So basically it is the answer to the need of avoiding traps, in which modern man falls, it says how to get along with them, starting from childhood (and perhaps above all). Among educational aesthetics, reflecting the educational specifics of childhood, we can mark out: Situation of being first; Situation of being second, in the background of the role, task, and person; The triad, or a situation implicating a normative postulate „Allowing this third” to act (A play, a game, special action). Music, as Aristotle said, is an example of an integrated aesthetical educational situation supporting a child in its development.

Dylematy aksjologiczne powszechnej edukacji muzycznej

Author(s): Rafał Ciesielski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The essence of education is to show a quantum of knowledge and skills recognized by a given community as necessary in educating a young man. The criteria of determining its range and content are different for humanities and scientific disciplines. In the former case the scientifically verifiable topicality of the knowledge and its accordance with reality are the decisive factors. In the latter, it is the aesthetic-axiological cultural factor. The form of subjects referring to the artistic disciplines — literature, art or music — is the function of the adopted axiological perspective, while aesthetic education — in its deepest roots — is being axiologically oriented in a natural way: the axiological issues address it to the same extent (or even a greater one, as it shapes the future) as they address music education, performers, artistic criticism, editing publications, and lastly — everyday decisions of individuals.In the face of aesthetic and methodical abuses frequently found in music education it is necessary to devise such a way of approaching a work of music in which it is shown as a piece of work with a culturally determined genesis, aesthetic-musical context, artistic form and aesthetic influence.It seems that distancing the aesthetic perspective and further axiological relativizing is one of the primary causes of the crisis in music education: it fails to show the credible picture of music and, as a result, is unable to satisfy the aesthetic needs of the youth.

Digitalno ja

Author(s): Jelena Guga / Language(s): Serbian

The ubiquitous use of digital technologies has enabled vast possibilities such as instant access to information, presence on any part of the planet, multiplication and transformation of identity, as well as re-articulation and reconstruction of embodiment. Science fiction film and literature, new media art practices, scientific research, and cyber theories often deal with the idea of leaving the body behind and uploading the immortal mind into digital databases where we can be whatever and whoever we want. Compared to modern technology, biological body is often considered obsolete and, as such, it is not “equipped” keep up with the exponential technological development. It is not surprising then that many studies, either scientific or popular, disregard the problem of corporeality and focus more on the issues of identity, consciousness, and disembodiment in digital worlds. Therefore, this book presents the works that focus on the issues of embodiment in the context of new media and their impact on social reality. The starting premise of the discussions is that without a physical body, there is neither virtual nor real. The book points to the importance of the physical body in biotechnological interfaces and the ways the role and functions of the body transform in virtual environments and affect our perceptions and understanding of human ontology

Książka "Bezdomność w Łodzi" jest w przeważającej mierze efektem konferencji pod tym samym tytułem, która odbyła się w tymże mieście w lutym 2016 roku za sprawą Łódzkiego Partnerstwa Pomocy w sytuacji Wykluczenia i Bezdomności. Składają się na nią teksty prezentowane podczas konferencji oraz kilka innych. Dobrze się stało, że książka nie odcina się od tego spotkania, jak to nieraz bywa z "tomami pokonferencyjnymi". Owszem, w różnoraki sposób do niej nawiązuje. We wstępie jest zamieszczony program konferencji, są też zdjęcia z obrad. W ten sposób redaktorkom publikacji udało się zachować coś z dialogu, który się toczył przecież tamtej zimy na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim. [...] Przedstawiony materiał [...] o bezdomności w Łodzi jest bardzo wartościowy. [z recenzji dr hab. Grzegorza Pełczyńskiego, prof. Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego]

Franjevački samostan u Gučoj Gori

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

Nakon pada Bosne pod otomansku vlast (1463) razrušeni su, spaljeni i napušteni mnogi samostani u Bosni. Jedan od njih je i Lašvanski samostan, koji se nalazio, prema izvješćima bosanskih apostolskih vikara o pohodima Lašvanskoj župi, na Guvnima, naselju današnje dolačke župe. Ne znamo ni koliko je bilo braće u njemu kad je krajem 15. stoljeća stradao ni kamo su nakon njegova stradanja otišli. U nekim šematizmima provincije Bosne Srebrene piše da su odmah nakon toga prešli u Guču Goru. Makar sjedište vjerskog i franjevačkog života u Gučoj Gori, i to za čitavu Lašvansku dolinu, sezalo tako daleko u povijest, ipak je godina 2009. jubilarna - stopedeseta godina od njegova osnutka i postojanja u pravnom smislu. Sve do tada je ondje bila kuća, kasnije franjevačka rezidencija, u kojoj su boravili franjevci odakle bi odlazili obavljati pastoralnu službu po čitavoj Lašvanskoj dolini, pa i šire. Uz dopuštenje crkvenih vlasti, general Reda Manje Braće, dekretom od 30. svibnja 1859., proglašava samostan u Gučoj Gori. Sagradio ga je biskup fra Marijan Šunjić, rodom iz Bučića, jedan od najobrazovanijih ljudi svoga vremena. Organizatori za obilježavanje stopedesete obljetnice samostana odlučili su tim povodom održati znanstveni skup i izdati malu monografiju o samostanu. Znanstveni skup je održan 25. i 26. rujna 2009. godine, a monografija je ugledala svjetlo dana nekoliko dana prije održavanja znanstvenog skupa. U životu svakog naroda važno mjesto zauzima kulturno-povijesno naslijeđe kao dokaz stvaralaštva i životne snage naših predaka, kao simbol duha i pobjede čovjeka koji je ostavio znakove svoga postojanja. Stara je i mudra izreka koja se pripisuje fra Filipu Lastriću: “Pročitao sam kako je neki ozbiljan povjesničar rekao da je za svakoga čovjeka sramota ako ne pozna kraja u kojem boravi, ako ne zna kako je u njega došao i od kojih je pređa potekao”. A fra Ljubo Hrgić piše u svom Dnevniku: “Dane i noći hodao bih pokraj Lašve i gubio se u šumama. Tražio bih po grobljima starim, tražio bih staru dušu Bosne, drevnu tišinu. Možda je sav mistični čar moje zemlje u njenoj vjekovnoj tišini”. Koliko je Bosna i Hercegovina bila “svoja” svjedoče i samostan i crkva u Gučoj Gori. Ne samo što su ondje bili odgojni zavodi provincije Bosne Srebrene, nego se u njemu nalazila i pučka škola; ne samo što su franjevci Guče Gore vodili važne kulturne i poljoprivredne ustanove već su u njemu omladinska društva nalazila svoje prostorije. Selo Guča Gora nalazi se na 11. kilometru od Travnika i devetom od naselja Doca na Lašvi. Pogled iznad sela penje se prema sivom golom brdu Humu, te Carinama, stijenama koje kao da podupiru jedan plato, borovom šumom obrastao. A dolje, s druge strane prema jugu, vrletna se konfiguracija tla blago spušta prema dolini, praćena njivama, livadama i šumom. Ondje se nalazi prelijepa građevina, kao arhitektonski dragulj, s netaknutom i neunakaženom prirodom s kojom se teško može usporediti koji drugi krajolik. Sam je objekt bio prepušten igri povijesti, čiji su vjetrovi divlje trgali bosanski mir i idilu. Međutim, samostan se uvijek ponovno kao iz pepela dizao i fratri su u njemu započinjali novi život. Tako to traje već 150 godina od njegova proglašenja, a od davne 1706., dakle više od 300 godina, kada se prvi puta spominje, kao sjedište stare Lašvanske župe. Radovi sa simpozija u povodu stopedesete obljetnice postojanja samostana u Gučoj Gori pružaju čitatelju mogućnost upoznavanja s povijesnim zbivanjima, nekad dramatičnim i sudbonosnim, tijekom ne tako lake, ali ipak poštovanja vrijedne prošlosti samostana; također upoznavanja života kako običnih ljudi i istaknutih pojedinaca tako i povijesnih i kulturnih spomenika lašvanskog kraja.. Iznoseći mnoštvo povijesnih podataka i zanimljivih zgoda i nezgoda iz burne prošlosti i iz svakodnevnog života ljudi, autori svojim radovima skidaju prašinu s temelja iz kojih je nikao gučogorski samostan, ali i pročišćavaju izvore na kojima se snagom napajaju ljudi koji vole i samostan i svoj zavičaj. U tim radovima izlaze na vidjelo heroji, znameniti pojedinci, koji su ostali nepokolebivi u vjernosti Bogu, svome narodu i svojoj državi čak i onda kad je to, ljudski gledano, bilo nemoguće; ali izdvajaju i antiheroje, koji su, posebno u otomansko vrijeme, gušili život i rušili sve što drugačije od njih misli, govori i vjeruje. U odabiru autora i radova za jedan simpozij postoji opasnost da ostane po strani nešto što je važno. Radovi sa simpozija su upravo zbog toga poziv čitatelju na traženje i čitanje literature, izvještaja i kronika o svemu što je vezano za gučogorski samostan i njegovu povijest. U tom su smislu poticajne riječi fra Jake Baltića, graditelja samostana i velikog ljetopisca: “Svakomu čoviku, koji iole ima prosvete, milo je čitati i znati povijest svojih starih. Kakvi su naši stari bili? Što se s njima zbilo? Kako su se u događajim vladali? Kad bi se tako što napisano našlo od naših starih, prije šest stotina godina barem, ako ne starije, to bi vridilo prema dragom kamenju. Jer događaje i dila svojih starih pred očima imati, mogo bi se čovik okoristiti u svom življenju. Mudrih je ljudi izreka: ‘Nauči se na primjeru mnogih, što treba nasljedovati, a što izbjegavati’. Neka ti učitelj bude tuđi život’”.

Ľudovít Štúr na hranici dvoch vekov

Author(s): / Language(s): Slovak

In the first part of the collective monograph its authors focused on the traditionally understood issues of the life and work of Ľudovít Štúr. They see him as a teacher, thinker, codifier of the standard language and leader of the Slovak national movement in the nineteen forties. They summarize older and bring new knowledge about his family background, political thinking, opinions on Slavonic patriotism, reflection of his figure among historians or in period lexicons. The first chapter written by Martin Kováč presents the relation of Ľ. Štúr to the Lutheran Church of the Augsburg Confession. It served to him as a platform for his fight for the revival of the Slovak nation. Štúr criticized not only a growing influence of magyarization but also of rationalism, superficiality and formalism which struck the Church. Eva Kowalská brought to the foreground the relationship between two prominent families in Uhrovec – the aristocratic family of Zays counts and teacher´s family of Samuel Štúr which the founder of Slovaks´ national movements, Ľ. Štúr, comes from. Both families were tied by personal relations which significantly changed in the course of time. The paper has been drawn up based on archival sources not used so far bringing new knowledge to clarify personal motivations, actions and attitudes of Ľudovít Štúr and his significant opponent Karol Zay. József Demmel reveals a political background of the codification of the standard Slovak language. Gyorgy Kossuth, the uncle of the Hungarian liberal politician Lajos Kossuth, played an important role in it. He belonged to a group of nobility and low nobility (zemianstvo) of the Slovak origin which refused social and political reforms and therefore from its conservative position it declared its support to the Slovak national movement. It was its influence that led Ľ. Štúr to a decision to codify a new standard language and to issue political newspapers in it. The following papers study in different optics the phenomenon of Slavonic integration. The text by Marcela Bednárová points out two major typical traits of Štúr´s concept of Slavonic idea – it is mapping the development of philosophic-mythological and socio-political opinions. According to the author both lines existed in symbiosis and without any contradictions. The paper by Karol Kantek and Eva Kowalská is about the life story of the last Štúr´s (Serbian) student and follower Kosta Kostić: it is in the form of a detective search for a forgotten figure of the past which can be interpreted in the context of inter-Slavonic relations – with ties to the Slovak, Serbian, Russian and Czech environment. Marcel Martinkovič, on the other hand, brings the reader back to the issues concerning theories, concepts and visions – he follows the development of Ľ. Štúr´s opinions on Slavonic patriotism, Europe and Russia. According to his opinion in the after-revolution period Štúr was even messianicly fixed to the Tsarist Russia seen by him as the only guarantor of a spiritual progress and freedom of the Slavs. The chapter written by Alica Kurhajcová shows a portrayal of Ľ. Štúr in Hungarian historiography at the end of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century. The author paid attention in particular to the publications of the Hungarian historian and publicist Lajos Steier who dedicated himself to the development of the Slovak issue in Hungary. By analyzing his work she deals not only with interpretation of Štúr, his personage, characteristics and politics but also the period context. The second part of the monograph represented by a larger number of papers is aimed at the so-called second life, i.e. afterlife of Ľ. Štúr. The authors look into the phenomenon of Štúr as a symbol paying attention to its significance for the formation of (collective) historical memory and identity, its use within museum practice, school teaching, art and culture etc. The chapter written by Jana Pácalová deals with the formation of the picture of Ľ. Štúr in the second half of the 19th century. It follows rhetoric and narrative strategies in journalism and in the selected memoire texts of his contemporaries with respect to the categories of memory, identity and subject. It is focused on the reconstruction of Štúr´s biography according to the social demand with the aim to institutionalize collective memory of Štúr. The biography of Ľ. Štúr written by his close associate and friend Jozef Miloslav Hurban of 1881 – 1884 can be considered as such text. Sylvia Hrdlovičová deals with the planning, implementation and placement of two gravestones to the grave of Ľudovít Štúr in the cemetery in Modra. The first gravestone was fixed and funded from the national collection in 1872 and the second one, a complex sepulchral site was definitely completed in 1964. The paper pays attention to public manifestation gatherings at the grave, celebrations of Štúr after 1918 and creation of other memorials devoted to Ľ. Štúr in the territory of Modra. The chapter of Daniela Kodajová is similarly focused and it analyzes celebrations and commemoration ceremonies related to the personage of Ľ. Štúr. The author attaches a big national-identification and national-integration importance to them. Peter Macho concentrated in this regard on a concrete personality as a public speaker at celebrations devoted to Štúr: he analyzes messages of ceremonial speeches and lectures of Bishop Samuel Štefan Osuský who was also the chairman of the Štúr Lutheran Society. Ľuboš Kačírek gives insight into the beginnings of the formation of Slovak collecting aimed at the personality of Ľ. Štúr, collecting of tangible relics related to his personality from the nineteen sixties within the Matica slovenská (Slovak Source) and Slovak Museum Society. In 1965, at the occasion of celebrations of his 150th anniversary, museums of Ľ. Štúr were founded in Uhrovec and Modra. This period covers also the construction of a memorial Štúr log cabin in Kohlwald in the Levočská valley and its exhibition was opened to the public only in May 1974. Further development of museum exhibitions related to the Štúr generation was initiated by the Matica slovenská and its department Slovak Literature Memorial (later the Literature-Museum Department). According to Beáta Mihalkovičová the foundation of Ľ. Štúr Museum in Modra was affected from the very beginning by a struggle for its character and priority orientation. The town of Modra suggested that a district museum of national history should be established and named by Ľ. Štúr but the academia and scientists, on the other hand, planned the foundation of a specialized personal museum of national significance devoted exclusively to Ľ. Štúr. The conflict lasted for several years and ended by a compromise. There was another conflict with regard to the concept of presentation of Ľudovít Štúr, whether the exhibition should concentrate only on the personality of Štúr or it should be placed into a quite broad literary and language context. Jozef Ambruš stood behind the birth of the museum, designed the introductory exhibition, as well as the libretto and scenario of the first permanent exhibition, however, it was implemented according to the scenario of Imrich Sedlák and lasted from 1978 to 2006. Adelaida Mezeiová analyzed Slovak language and literature textbook for secondary schools. The textbooks supported the creation of the portrayal of Ľ. Štúr as an ideal, charismatic leader, great organizer of the national life, excellent linguist and a man devoted to higher goals ready to give up his personal life in favour of a lofty ideal. The textbooks compared proved the thesis that the subject of Slovak language at school education had the effect of a state-forming and nation-forming subject and was prioritized within the system of school subjects. According to Juliana Beňová, Ľ. Štúr played an important role in the activities of Slovak non-professional actors in the mid-19th century. He supported theatre also in his newspapers, published theatre critical reviews and art news. He appeared on the stage of professional theatre in the 20th century as a drama character. Not only his fate but also the lives of other protagonists of the national history revived on the stage while their creators presented them in various ways – from a traditional visualisation of the personality through accentuation of mysterious life moments up to reinterpretation and demystification of the fates of Slovak Romanticists. In her paper, Katarína Beňová deals with the portraying of Ľ. Štúr, his followers and other representatives of nationally active intelligentsia by Slovak artists (Jozef Božetech Klemens, Peter Michal Bohúň) while she emphasizes the ties of Slovak painters with the Czech patriotic environment of the 19th century. It shows, inter alia, a so far unknown portrait of Jozef Miloslav Hurban from Hungarian collections. Zbyšek Šustek maps the figure of Ľ. Štúr from numismatic point of view. It was for the first time that Martin Benka chose Štúr as a leitmotif on several designs of a twenty crown note in the early nineteen forties. It was for composition reason that his portrait was finally placed on a ten crown note in 1944. Later on he was portrayed on two commemorative coins and two banknotes. During the process of their preparation, however, he appeared on a large number of ideological designs of a legal tender. Štúr also appeared as a frequent motif of the designs of themes for the Slovak side of euro coins, however, other motifs won in the public survey. Commemorative and numismatic coins issued at the occasion of his bicentennial celebration in 2015 was the last opportunity to portray him on a legal tender.

Sondy do slovenských dejín v dlhom 19. storočí

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

The book presents the results of new research in Slovak history in the field or period called “the long 19th century”, i.e. dating from the rule of Joseph II. in the late 18th century until the First World War. The focus of research was on the themes and domains which were either neglected in the past or needed reconsidering. The book centres on five fields and is composed of five chapters. The first chapter is called “The Nation and the national issue”. It presents new aspects by exploring one of the most principal themes of 19th century. In his study, László Vörös reflects about the modern concept of the nation, which won recognition by the most contemporary historians, ethnologists and sociologists: the nation as an imagined community and an imagined tradition which is connected with the modernisation epoch. Nationalism is specifically an urban phenomenon. In the Slovak historiography, the national movement had been explored mostly in the rural area, in the peasant milieu, because the majority of the Slovak ethnic population was composed of peasants. Eva Kowalská aimed to change this perspective and concentrated on explaining urban aspects of Slovak nationalism. In case of Slovakia, these aspects are more interesting since the Slovaks in the 19th century had no important central city, and only small towns in the countryside (like Turčiansky Sv. Martin), had tried to compensate this lack. In his contribution, Peter Macho summarises how the symbol of the Tatra mountains as well as other Slovak geographic-territorial symbols were present in the Slovak nationalist discourse. Peter Šoltés elaborates on the theme and the activities of the Slovak Evangelical intelligentsia in the first half of the 19th century. The second chapter “The National movement in foreign and domestic politics” deals with the important connection of nationalism and politics. Slovak foreign political thought was traditionally orientated toward the Russian Empire. In his contribution, Dušan Kováč shows the other side of the Slovak foreign orientation: their attitude to the Western powers England and France. Dušan Škvarna attempts at a reconsideration of the role and inspiring function of the Slovak National Council, established during the 1848 revolution. The Swiss political scientist Josette Baer, a specialist in the field of Slavonic and lately mainly of Slovak political thought, presents her analysis of the early political activities of Vavro Šrobár (an important personality of Slovak politics in the 20th century), especially his leading role in the so-called “Hlasist movement”. The third chapter is dedicated to the juridical system and economic issues. Tomáš Gábriš presents a very useful survey of the juridical system in Hungary and its changes in the era of modernization during the 19th century. His paper shows that in Hungary the tendency to modernize was clashing with very difficult obstacles, mainly ideological and political ones. The attempt to create the centralised “nation state” in Hungary restrained the most important liberal-democratic reforms of the juridical system. In her contribution, Eva Ondrušová deals with the traditional studies of economic cameralism and its influence on the economic theory and practise in the 19th century. Ľudovít Hallon and Miroslav Sabol follow the history of the Pittel and Brausewetter architectural company, which was much closely connected with and active in the very broad Pressburg (Bratislava) area. Very new themes are presented in the forth chapter named “Society, social life and environment”. Gabriela Dudeková outlines the system of poor relief in the Habsburg monarchy; her focus is on the mechanisms how the authorities denied social care to specific groups in Hungary. Slovak emigration to America is a very traditional issue in Slovak historiography. Igor Harušťák tries to consider this problem in the broader Central- and East-European context. Prior to 1989, research about the nobility as a social strata was neglected in Slovak historiography. Even after 1989, this theme was intensively researched mainly in the period of middle ages and the early modern times. However, from the social point of view, important and interesting issues are e. g. the nobility’s life style as well as the attempts of these “high society” members to preserve their status in the modern 19th century. Daniel Hupko deals with these issues focussing on the example of Lucia Wilczek. Roman Holec presents a completely new approach in his contribution about the changes in the relationship ‘man – animal’ as manifestation of a new attitude to nature during the 19th century. The last chapter of this volume is dedicated to “The Churches in the social – modernizing processes “.Ingrid Kušniráková analyses the controversial interferences of Joseph II. into the life of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the closing-down of some cloisters. Tomáš Králik focuses on the relations of the Vienna court to the St. Elisabeth convent in Pressburg (Bratislava). The chapters of this collective monograph will serve as a basis for the draft of a new synthetis on Slovak history in the “long 19th century”.

Амдуат. Записи от скритата зала

Author(s): Teodor Lekov / Language(s): Bulgarian,Egyptian (Ancient)

"Amduat – Text of the Hidden Chamber" is an ancient Egyptian esoteric book that describes and magically recreates the journey of the Sun God to Duat (the Realm of the Dead). The book has been recorded on the walls of the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings - it contains the names of the inhabitants of the afterlife, their sacred images and spells to overcome the obstacles in this journey. It is a secret doctrine taught by the Egyptian king and his companions. It appears for the first time in the middle of the second millennium BC, and its tradition is preserved until the sunset of Egyptian civilization. The book is a magical means of immortality, and with its help one goes the same space cycle to his resurrection as the Sun God on his night journey to the new sunrise. The edition contains an introduction, a translation from Ancient Egyptian and a commentary on the book. It is published for the first time in Bulgarian.

Potisnuta istina – Kolaboracija u Srbiji 1941-1944

Author(s): Olivera Milosavljević / Language(s): Serbian

Upravo doneti Zakon kojim se rehabilituju svi “ideološki” protivnici komunizma, počinje sa datumom od 6. aprila 1941. što je istovremeno i njegov najzanimljiviji deo. Imali smo priliku da slušamo predlagače i zagovornike zakona1 koji su svojom srčanom odbranom ratnih “ideoloških” protivnika komunizma, nedvosmisleno potvrdili da je čitava stvar i smišljena isključivo zbog njih, a da ih oni posle 1945. ustvari i ne zanimaju, odnosno, da su samo “kolateralna šteta” pokušaja rehabilitacije kvislinga iz vremena Drugog svetskog rata. Saopštili su nam i da bi čitav komunistički period trebalo jednostavno proglasiti zločinačkim čime bi, misle oni, po automatizmu bili rehabilitovani svi njegovi “ideološki” protivnici, a oni ratni proglašeni borcima za pravednu stvar. Zato možemo očekivati da će (kao što se već desilo sa četnicima) ovog puta “demokratama” biti proglašeni nedićevci i ljotićevci, pa će po automatizmu “demokrate” postati i balisti, hortijevci, ustaše, i na kraju, sam nemački Rajh. Svi oni zaista jesu bili “ideološki” protivnici komunizma, ali je, sasvim sigurno, Hitler bio najveći. Zato nije slučajno danas, njihov “ideološki” antikomunizam i početak i kraj svake argumentacije, uz prećutkivanje da su kao protivnici komunizma bili i aktivni protivnici celokupne antihitlerovske koalicije čiji je komunizam bio sastavni deo. Prećutkuje se i da je njihov “ideološki” antikomunizam u tadašnjem shvatanju pojma podrazumevao veličanje nacizma, antidemokratiju, i na prvom mestu, antisemitizam, “slučajno”, baš u vreme kada su milioni Jevreja ubijani u “Velikom Nemačkom Rajhu”.

Reinventing Eastern Europe: Imaginaries, Identities and Transformations

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

This edited collection brings together a wide range of topics that shed light on the social, cultural, economic, political and spatio-temporal changes influencing post-socialist cities of Eastern Europe. Different case studies are presented through papers that were presented at the Euroacademia International Conference series. Imaginaries, identities and transformations represent three blocks for understanding the ways in which visual narratives, memory and identity, and processes of alterity shape the symbolic meanings articulated and inscribed upon post-socialist cities. As such, this book stimulates a debate in order to provide alternative views on the dynamics, persistence and change broadly shaping mental mappings of Eastern Europe. The volume offers an opportunity for scholars, activists and practitioners to identify, discuss, and debate the multiple dimensions in which specific narratives of alterity making towards Eastern Europe preserve their salience today in re-furbished and re-fashioned manners.
