Author(s): Michael Roick / Language(s): German Issue: 04/2020

In this interview, he describes how his world of thought changed as a resultof very personal experiences as an observer on the ground in besieged Sarajevo.Additional excerpts from previously unpublished diary entries provide a vividpicture of the events of that time.

Black Flag under a Grey Sky - Forms of Protest in Current Neo-Confederate Prose and Song

Author(s): John Eric Starnes / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

While ‘tragic’ protest and protest songs are normally conceived of as originating on the political left of American culture, in recent years protest from the political right, specifically the racist right has flown under the cultural radar of most researchers of American studies. This article strives to explore the ways in which the neo-Confederate movement is currently protesting the state of cultural, political, and social affairs in the contemporary American South. The neo-Confederate movement is one of the oldest forms of ‘conservative’ protest present in the United States, originating out of the defeat of the Confederacy and the civic religion of the ‘Lost Cause’ of the last decades of the 1800s into the first three decades of the 1900s. Since the neo-Confederate movement is both revolutionary and conservative, it is possible to derive some valuable insights into the contemporary reactionary politics of the right by examining a brief sampling of the protest songs, novels, and essays of this particular subculture.

Z tradycją w przyszłość Pedagogika społeczna wobec przemian cywilizacyjno kulturowych - Czterdziestolecie Katedry Pedagogiki Społecznej Uniwersytetu Śląskiego w Katowicach

Author(s): Ewa Syrek,Ewa Jarosz / Language(s): Polish Issue: Sp. Issue/2019

The article presents the development, directions and areas of scientific research conducted by scholars at the Department of Social Pedagogy at the University of Silesia in Katowice from the beginning of the Department’s existence (1980/1981) until 2018. The conducted analyses emphasize first of all the expansion of research areas and the successive formation of the so-called “school” of social pedagogy characteristic of our academic centre. The areas of interest of the Department’s research staff correspond to the cognitive and research needs resulting from the current socio-cultural transformations that are significant for the course of socialization and upbringing processes. The results of scientific research have been reflected, among others, in scientific publications (monographs and articles), and the titles of the most important ones are given in the article.

Câteva considerații privind reflectarea în postcomunism a istoriei evreilor din perioada interbelică

Author(s): Cristian Vasile / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 3 (19)/2018

This paper is not properly an extensive historiographical study, but an attempt to sketch the profile of the post-communist Romanian historiography highly influenced by a sort of ethnic nationalism combined with anti-Semitism which affected also the perspective on the history of Interwar Romanian Jewish community. I have reviewed only a few of the works that came out after 1989, selecting especially those that one considered relevant both generating significant debates, disputes, and representing inflection points in the post-communist historical writing. This field of academic study was decisively changed only by Truth Commissions such as the International Commission for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania and by translations into Romanian of relevant Western secondary literature.

Author(s): Georgi Trenchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2020

The high schools opened by the Bulgarian Exarchate could not solve the problem of training teachers for the Bulgarian schools in Macedonia and Edirne Thrace. That is why the Exarchate decided to open pedagogical schools. The Serres Men's Pedagogical School is one of them. This publication, based on archival and published sources, discusses the emergence and development of this school. The curricula, the organization, the teachers, the students, the base of the school and its results during the years of its existence are revealed.

Author(s): Larry-Labro Korolov,Larry Labro Koroloff / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2020

This short article deals with the origin of the lexeme , as well as бугарин, бугарка, бугари the different forms of the adjective бугарцки, which appear in the dialects, spoken in a large area of South Central Macedonia. While it is sometimes accepted that the forms бугарин, бугари and forms бугарски of the in central and north Macedonian dialects, as well as in standard Macedonian norm, codified in 1945 in the former Yugoslavia, are due to Serbian influence, the south central Macedonian forms have a different origin.

Обликът на Петрич в първите години след Освобождението. Спомени на Иван Георгиев Чорбаджийски

Author(s): Todor Tarakov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2020

The memoirs of Ivan Chorbadzhiyski (1908 – 1998) reflect the time from the first years after the Liberation of Petrich in 1912, before the town began to gradually change its appearance from Oriental to modern. They contain a lot of interesting information about the town's neighbourhoods, shopping streets and squares, iconic public buildings and houses. The author Ivan Chorbadzhiyski was born in the village of Hadjibeylik, Demirhisar region, today's Hellenic Republic, but lived in Petrich since he was a child. He remembered a number of facts and important figures from local history. He was a tailor by profession. The memoirs were recorded in 1996 and are published here for the first time.

SERVICIUL MILITAR ÎN TRANSILVANIA (1850-1867). LEGISLAȚIE, PACE ȘI RĂZBOI

Author(s): Constantin Băjenaru / Language(s): English,Romanian Issue: 1/2019

The subject of military service in the middle of 19th century in Transylvania hadn’t been, with few exceptions, in the aria of interest of Romanian historians, even if it constituted a complex phenomenon of Transylvanian society in those days, having many implications and repercussions. The consequences after the revolutionary years 1848-1849 felt at a legislative level and in the military, aiming many times but without success the reformation of the army by stipulations which wanted to be progressive. They hadn’t had the expected results, as it hadn’t happened regarding the recruitment and incorporation of young people, fit for military service. As it will be noticed, the legislative actions which were undertaken, including those during the three wars of this period, in which was engaged the Habsburg Empire, remained tributary to previous periods, quantitative and not qualitative.

Reconstruction as Revolution: Cultural Life in Post–World War II Kraków and Leipzig

Author(s): Kyrill Kunakhovich / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2016

This article compares the process of cultural reconstruction in two of Eastern Europe’s major cities, Kraków and Leipzig, in the first half-decade after World War II. In both cities, it argues, reconstruction radically changed the cultural landscape even as it seemed to uphold the status quo. City officials rebuilt many of the artistic institutions they knew from the prewar era, but consistently privileged those that were publicly owned and “progressive.” Such selective reconstruction greatly expanded state control over the arts while masking the fact that any change was taking place. It also made Kraków and Leipzig more alike: by accentuating each city’s leftist traditions, local officials fostered a cultural convergence without eliminating national difference. Their work was instrumental in the rise of East European communism. Grassroots reconstruction not only paved the way for cultural revolution but also helped to forge the Soviet Bloc.

Originea muncii reflectată în Biblie și în folclorul românesc

Author(s): Andrei Prohin / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2019

The paper is dedicated to the traditional regard on labour, a regard based on two fundamental domains of the traditional society: the main book of Christianity (Bible) and the literary creation, both having a great age and a considerable impact on the social representations. The author analyses how labour is presented in the Holy Writ: as a duty that was assigned by God to the first humans, in Paradise. It later became a means for supporting life and a source of pain due to the original sin, committed by first humans, and their expulsion from Paradise. The author traces this biblical motif in several Romanian folk creations – wedding orations, Christmas carols, creation legends. In the traditional imaginary world, the episode of the original sin sometimes misses or it contains extra-biblical details. One of the frequent ideas is that God has taught Adam and Eve the main domestic occupations and has given them the necessary implements. Labour proves thus the Creator’s care for humans. The folk sources also support the idea that when humans, during their earthly life, had broken God’s commands, their labour became a tiresome occupation that does not always culminate with results corresponding to the invested effort.

GEOGRAFSKO-ISTORIJSKI, DRUŠTVENI I PEDAGOŠKI AMBIJENT ZA OSNOVNO OBRAZOVANJE U NOVOM PAZARU, SJENICI I TUTINU TOKOM 20. VEKA

Author(s): Sefedin Šehović,Filduza Prušević Sadović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 85-86/2020

Pedagoška tematika vezana za proučavanja u srbijanskom delu Sandžaka mora nalaziti uporišta, oslonce, argumente, podatke u lokalnoj sredini, ali se značenjski mora uzdići do vrednosti naučnog mišljenja, njegove logičnosti i misaonog, teorijskog sistema od značaja za nauku o vaspitanju. Zato se u ovom radu taj aspekt, naznačen kao sistem obrazovanja Srbije na datom, istorijski i aktuelno ograničenom prostoru, ima u vidu; to je predmet i zadatak teme, njene obrade. To nije samo deskriptivno predočavanje pojava u osnovnom obrazovanju, već pitanje primenjivostoi naučnog pedagoškog saznanja na jednom prostoru koga odlikuje specifična prošlost, takva kakvu nema ni jedan drugi deo Srbije. I sadašnjost koja je izronila iz date prošlosti, sadašnjost kojoj nije bilo dovoljno sto godina razvoja da potre negativne recidive prošlosti, da ih otkloni i nadmaši. Tema je najmanje hronologija zbivanja koja se najčešće smešta u šemu, protok godina: 3 + 3 + 23 + 4 + 45 + 10 godina (od 1912 do 1915 - 3, do kraja prvog svetskog rata 3, Kraljevina Jugoslavija 23, II svetski rat 4, vreme brozovskog socijalizma 45 i postbrozovski period 10 godina). Iako svaki od tih intervala u proticanju vremena ima svoje osobenosti i svoju situaciju u razvoju, ipak je za pedagoško proučavanje više relevantno nešto šire identifikovanje i obrađivanje, odnosno proučavanje osnovnog obrazovanja. U predmet i u okvire sadržaja ove teme ulaze dve bitne odrednice, dva osnovna pitanja – prostor na kome su situirane osnovne škole ove oblasti i vreme u kome su one sastavni deo sistema obrazovanja Srbije.

Crossing the Borders of Friendship: Mobility across Communist Borders

Author(s): Mark Keck-Szajbel,Dariusz Stola / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2015

This collection of articles brings together scholars from the United States and Europe to explore mobility writ large in communist East Central Europe. While twentieth-century European mobility has increasingly become the focus of historiography, significant gaps still exist in the research. Especially with reference to the Soviet bloc, scholars have only recently begun to explore how people crossed borders. Where there is research, it is largely limited to individual states.

Pushing Boundaries: Mobility at the Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music

Author(s): Lisa Jakelski / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2015

This article examines how the Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music facilitated mobility across socialist borders in the 1960s. The Warsaw Autumn was one of the most important zones of cross-border cultural contact during the Cold War, for its eclectic programming featured musical works and performers from both the Soviet and American zones of cultural, political, and economic influence. The article demonstrates that the festival enabled multiple connections to form across socialist borders. Some of these were top–down, international contacts among socialist state institutions, which resulted in carefully curated performances of cultural diplomacy that tended to reinforce prevailing notions of East–West opposition. Other connections involved informal, personal ties that facilitated the transnational circulation of musical modernism throughout the socialist bloc. The article proposes that the Warsaw Autumn’s advocacy of modernist music by unofficial Soviet composers exposed and encouraged the development of cultural affinities that challenged the socialist bloc’s presumptive hierarchies while also mitigating the Cold War’s broadly drawn divisions between East and West. The article further suggests that the significance of mobility at the Warsaw Autumn in the 1960s depended on the continued fixity of borders in other areas—between states, the Cold War’s geopolitical regions, and contrasting musical styles.

Демоничните образи на Баба Марта и Дядо Коледа

Author(s): Irina Kolarska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2020

Baba Marta and Santa Claus are two characters who are usually related to a series of positive emotions because of the expectation to receive gifts bringing joy, hopes and expectations. The dark side of the character of Baba Marta has been studied many times but it has not been investigated or analyzed in regards to Santa Claus. This text will make an attempt to present a different point of view to the two characters, which has never been in the focus of attention of folklore studies – the one of evangelical Protestantism. The reason for it is the feeling of its followers that their opinion is not taken into consideration and is thus silenced and suppressed. I will make an attempt to draw impartial theses and antitheses, as well as to do an analysis and summary of the results. In addition, I will seek to find if these two characters belong to paganism or to folklore and to outline the reason for their demonization according to evangelical Protestantism.

Kyrillos, the Metropolitan of Belgrade (1825–1827)

Author(s): Nedeljko V. Radosavljević / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2020

The paper elaborates on the administration of Metropolitan Kyrillos in the Belgrade Metropolitanate, which he assumed in 1825. Available sources suggest his Bulgarian origin. The paper contains biographical data about Kyrillos, such as his place and year of birth, his advancement in the structure of the Great Church and his spiritual mission, including the establishment of the exact date and place of his death. A focus is placed on Kyrillos’s versatile activity, visible in his restoration of churches and monasteries, control of the clergy and care about proper performance of rites. Also explained is his good cooperation with Serbian Prince Miloš Obrenović, whom he informed of confidential matters not only of ecclesiastical, but of secular nature as well, including diplomatic and military issues. An emphasis is also put on his illness, which significantly aggravated his work. Despite this, he persevered in carrying out his metropolitan duties until his death in 1827.
