BOTËT PARALELE NË BALADA DHE KËNGË POPULLORE

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

The Kommission für Volksdichtung was founded in 1966, in Freiburg, Germany, to bring together ballad and folk song researchers from around the world for the International Ballad Conference. Since then, at meetings throughout Europe, ballad and song scholars have met to present their work and to learn something of the host country’s traditions. The 45th such conference was held in Prishtina, Kosovo, in 2015. This volume is a proceeding from the conference, with some of the materials published in Albanian and English. It is a collaborative publication of the Institute of Albanology in Prishtina, as the host institution of conference, and the Kommission für Volksdichtung.

Construcţia identitară la comunităţile turcă şi tătară din Dobrogea

Author(s): Adriana Cupcea / Language(s): Romanian

The present study is a primary effort to identify and decript the identitary dynamics of the two most ancient ethnic communities of Romania, the Turks and Tatars. As a context framing, the paper shows the historic and demographic evolution of the Turks and the Tatars all throughout the 20th century. Chronologically, the emphasys falls upon the communist period, to better envisage the way in which political, economic and social changes in the era were reflected in the ethnic and religious structures of the Turks and the Tatars in Dobrogea and consequently to extend on identitary evolutions after 1990. By adding the archive research to journalistic text analysis and field research (interviews, participative observation), the study traces the memory patterns of the communist period, the types of relations and attitudes created in relation to the regime, together with the evolution of self-image and image of the other (Turk-Tatar), generated by the main identitary landmarks: ethnicity, religion, origins, mother tongue and traditions, inside the socialist society as well as after the fall of the communism.

Counter-narrating: Re-constructing “Sita” in Amish’s Sita: Warrior of Mithila

Author(s): Shruti Das / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Counter-narration re-casts existing narratives and foregrounds the marginalised by giving them agency and performativity. They are narratives that challenge and provide resistance against dominant and hegemonic grand narratives which have been instrumental in formulating a social ideology over a long period of time making them normative. The Ramayana, an ancient epic is a multi-layered story of Prince Rama and Princess Sita and their role in the politics of power, state and patriarchy. It is a grand or master narrative that presupposes the passivity of the female as normative. It portrays Sita, King Rama’s wife, as someone who experiences marginalization and oppression and is a victim of the dominant narrative of patriarchy. This paper will use the theory of counter- narrative and analyse Amish Tripathi’s novel Sita: Warrior of Mithila (2017) in order to show how he has recast Sita deconstructing the myth of passivity. Here, Sita resists prescriptive norms of the dominant narrative, wherein she has been projected as the silent receptor and problematizes the patriarchal ideology propagated through the master narrative. This paper will show how counter storytelling or counter narrating by Amish Tripathi has challenged and defied the narrative silence and hegemony in The Ramayana, while making the female powerful and capable in education, warfare and state governance.

COVID-19 VS LEPROSY, THE PLAGUE AND SMALLPOX: FOUCAULDIAN PERSPECTIVE

COVID-19 VS LEPROSY, THE PLAGUE AND SMALLPOX: FOUCAULDIAN PERSPECTIVE

Author(s): Mladen Stajić / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2021

Relying on Foucault’s theoretical differentiation of three derived management models reflecting the historical and political response to the emergence of three infectious diseases, namely leprosy, the plague and smallpox, this paper will consider the manner in which the approach of health policy-makers in Serbia has changed before, during and after the introduction of the state of emergency caused by the outbreak of the SARS-CoV2 epidemic, largely following the ideal-typical description of these three models of confronting the infection. Starting with the idea of identifying and completely isolating those that are infected from the community for the purpose of preserving a “clean” society, typical of the period of the spread of leprosy, through the idea of introducing quarantine and monitoring mechanisms for the purpose of establishing a disciplined society, typical of the period of the spread of the plague, to the reliance on vaccination and abandonment of the idea of complete eradication of the pathogens, i.e., reliance on statistics and risk analyses for the purpose of long term understanding and curbing the epidemic, typical of the outbreak of smallpox, it is possible to identify significant similarities of these historical models with different stages in managing the crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic in the contemporary local context.

Cyprian Norwid a idea środkowoeuropejskości

Cyprian Norwid a idea środkowoeuropejskości

Author(s): Karol Samsel / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 14/2021

This article aims to reflect the potential connections between Cyprian Norwid, hisliterature and thoughts on Europe with the elements of the forthcoming conceptsof Central Europeanism. On the one hand, the author of Vade-mecum can delivera sensitized view of Central European multinationalism, especially in his Venetianshort stories like Menego or Lord Singelworth’s Secret and meanwhile (in hispolitical journalism, for example, Recit d’une peintre d’histoire) acts as if he wascapable of efficiently understanding the first general XIX-century idea ofMitteleuropa. On the other hand, Norwid could react to the issues of CentralEuropeanism ambiguously and flamboyantly – among others by expressing theopinions about still primal and incestuous patriotism of Southern Slavs.

Czego chcą od kultury konserwatyści?

Author(s): Jarema Piekutowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 687/2022

W wypowiedziach moich rozmówców przewija się przekonanie o bojkocie ze strony elit artystycznych, dla których Słowacki i Mickiewicz to „ramota i paździerz”. Ich zdaniem elity uznają naszą kulturę narodową za nudną, odwracają się do niej plecami.

Czytanie bluźnierstwa

Author(s): Krzysztof Biedrzycki / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 687/2022

Niejednokrotnie sam bluźnierca nie wie, co nim kieruje. Może trzeba wtedy nie inkwizytora, prokuratora czy krytyka sztuki, lecz psychoanalityka, żeby dotrzeć do głębokich źródeł motywacji. Dlatego musimy być szczególnie ostrożni, gdy stawiamy zarzut uderzenia w sacrum. Uważnie przeczytać trzeba tekst, nie jego nadawcę.

Das Kollektive Gedächtnis In Den Kulturwissenschaften

Author(s): Teodora Țugui-Caraba / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2021

Given the major cultural changes that we have witnessed, it prompts us to pay particular attention to how communication technologies affect individual and societal memory. The question therefore arises as to the collective dimension of memory, but also how the idea of culture affects collective memory. Dealing with collective memory has two main points of reference: the individual memory and the collective memory. Both approaches are based on the conviction that one can only remember what can be communicated in direct and mental alternation with others. The approach to collective memory is an interdisciplinary research area, despite this, there is no cohesive definition of collective memory.

Dažu vācu muzikālo tradīciju pārnese latviešu kultūrtelpā 18. gadsimta otrajā pusē

Author(s): Māra Grudule / Language(s): Latvian / Issue: 41/2020

The article gives insight into a specific component of the work of Baltic enlightener Gotthard Friedrich Stender (1714–1796) that has heretofore been almost unexplored – the transfer of German musical traditions to the Latvian cultural space. Even though there are no sources that claim that Stender was a composer himself, and none of his books contain musical notation, the texts that had been translated by Stender and published in the collections Jaunas ziņģes (New popular songs, 1774) and Ziņģu lustes (The Joy of singing, 1785, 1789) were meant for singing and, possibly, also for solo singing with the accompaniment of some musical instrument. This is suggested, first, by how the form of the translation corresponds to the original’s form; second, by the directions, oftentimes attached to the text, that indicate the melody; and third, by the genres of the German originals cantata and song. Stender translated several compositions into Latvian including the text of the religious cantata Der Tod Jesu (The Death of Jesus, 1755) by composer Karl Heinrich Graun (1754–1759); songs by various composers that were widely known in German society; as well as a collection of songs by the composer Johann Gottlieb Naumann (1741–1801) that, in its original form, was published together with notation and was intended for solo-singing (female vocals) with the accompaniment of a piano. This article reveals the context of German musical life in the second half of the 18th century and explains the role of music as an instrument of education in Baltic-German and Latvian societies.

Demokracja chińska

Demokracja chińska

Author(s): Jerzy Sielski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 33/2021

The main objective of this article is to present some factors which led Chinese authorities to illiberal democracy. Firstly, I will focus on the problematic issue of typology of the modern Chinese political system. Next, I will talk through factors which had an influence on choosing the so-called Chinese (collective) democracy. Subsequently, I will highlight some factors which are connected to Confucian thought. Those factors had a primary impact on forming the state and socjety during the era of emperors and today lead to illiberal democracy in China. In the end, I will shortly describe the question of “ethical responsibility”, which is one of the key issues of creating a social capital of a global character.

Der Brauch der Vogelhochzeit und Lieder mit Vogel­motiven in der Folklore der nordwest- und ostslawischen Völker: Pragmatische und funktionale Aspekte

Author(s): Žanna Nekraševič-Karotkaja / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2022

Sorbian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian folk songs with bird motifs are examined in this article, including that of Vogelhochzeit. Traces of different genre combinations, modifications and revisions were discovered during an analysis of the structural content of these carols, which are linked to their functionality. So, for example, birds are celebrated in popular Polish carols, influenced above all by the story of Bethlehem. These carols present particularly typical social and psychological kinds of behaviour in the form of bird allegories. In this connection, the way this manifested itself moved in recent, and most recent, times from the level of traditional folklore into the sphere of ethno-pedagogy.

DEVELOPING CROSS CULTURAL SENSITIVITY: A STUDY OF INDIAN NETWORKING ETIQUETTE

DEVELOPING CROSS CULTURAL SENSITIVITY: A STUDY OF INDIAN NETWORKING ETIQUETTE

Author(s): Minouti Naik / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

Any interaction among individuals should be governed by certain etiquette and its absence would result in a huge loss, for an individual or enterprise. Paradoxically, despite India being culturally diverse, one cannot assume that this would ensure success in the international space. Against this backdrop, my paper has examined the experiences of Indians, in networking etiquette - covering greeting, salutation, dining, hospitality, gifting and time etiquette, these being primary areas of interaction. By drawing upon the experiences of Indians, who have travelled across the globe, my research has outlined general suggestions, which could ease interactions, in a cross cultural space.

Die Mitglieder der Maśica Serbska, ihre soziale Herkunft und ihr Verhältnis zur Gesellschaft in der Oberlausitz

Author(s): Martina Noack,Peter Schurmann / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2022

The Maśica Serbska, which was founded in 1880, achieved its largest number of 266 members towards the end of its first decade of existence. Afterwards, the numbers declined continuously up to its prohibition in 1937. Since its refoundation in 1993 it has registered a little more than 20 members. The proportion of Lower Sorbian scholars rose significantly from a quarter to roughly 40 percent over the first three decades. The number of farmers, however, went down steeply, starting from way over a half, then going down to around 20 percent. The proportion of women rose only in the first decades, but, on the other hand, it was only in the Weimar Republic that a woman was entrusted with a leadership role. Up to the turn of the century more than three-quarters of all members came from the Cottbus district, particularly from the parishes of Briesen, Cottbus, Papitz, Werben, and Vetschau. The church superintendent district of Cottbus had the most members with its fifteen parishes. Then came the church districts of Senftenberg and Calau, each containing two parishes, as well as the church district of Spremberg with one parish.

Druga wojna światowa na obszarze Międzymorza

Druga wojna światowa na obszarze Międzymorza

Author(s): Leszek Szaruga / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 14/2021

This article describes the course of World War II in the Intermarium region in relation both to the national policies of several countries and to the resistance movement organized by the communities opposing the Soviets as well as German domination. The first phase of events takes place in the period from September 1939 to the German invasion of the USSR; the second phase lasts until the end of the war and launches the partisan actions inspired by communist organizations on behalf of the Communist International (Comintern). The aim of the partisans’ actions was the resistance to the domination of the Third Reich and Italy achieved through diversions at the rear of the armies of the Axis powers. At the same time the Soviets’ joining the alliance results in treaties of the Big Three (The USA, Great Britain and the Soviet Union) establishing the political order for Europe after the end of WWII, particularly the subjugation of Intermarium countries by the Soviet domination.

Dysydenci obu krajów, łączcie się! Czeska Karta 77 i jej spotkania z KOR owcami

Author(s): Andrzej Krawczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 687/2022

Uczestnicy spotkania na Śnieżce w 1978 r. wspominają, że w pewnym momencie Václav Havel wyciągnął butelkę likieru „Stará myslivecká” z wizerunkiem myśliwego na etykiecie i powiedział: „Jak nie możemy żyć w socjalizmie z ludzką twarzą, to chociaż możemy się napić czegoś z ludzką twarzą”.
