Państwo bez wstrętu

Author(s): Przemysław Czapliński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2016

In this article Czapliński proposes to read Stefan Żeromski’s novel Before the Spring as a rather cruel project of the modern state. In this state the key subjects are communities (bioclasses and social classes) whose raison d’être are reproduction and productiveness. The biopolitical state must take them into consideration, as their usefulness transcends their own disgustingness. The state need not consider infertile classes (the landed gentry) or unproductive classes (parts of the Jewry), as their inability to meet the new criterion they are inexorably stigmatized as odious.

Eзиковата култура на българина днес

Author(s): Mihail Videnov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

In recent decades, the resentment of the language, spoken by the Bulgarian politicians, is growing. The article suggests that the reason for this lays in the poor speech culture of the politicians. The official speeches are overrun with Turkish words, slang and forbidden words. In order to demonstrate their pseudo language proficiency, the speakers use English words and cite Latin sentences without any mastery, and this makes their speech even more inappropriate. The author defends the school language education by saying that adolescents spend with their teachers much less time than watching TV. However, the author reproaches those mother tongue teachers who turn the Bulgarian language classes into classes for teaching literature.The article criticises the publicly speaking people who perceive democracy as time when any violation of the regular language usage is allowed.

CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS IN AN OTTOMAN CITY: THE FORMATION OF THE SOCIETY OF EARLY OTTOMAN THESSALONIKI

Author(s): Phokion Kotzageorgis / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2018

Thessaloniki was the biggest city conquered by the Ottomans before Istanbul. Furthermore, it was conquered by force. Thus, this city is a good example for researchers to understand how the Ottoman state transformed a Byzantine metropolis into an Ottoman one, starting from a zero point – in terms of the population – in 1430. This paper, based on a meticulous analysis of the three extant Ottoman tax registers of the first Ottoman century and a variety of other sources, tries to discern the urban and demographic development until ca. 1530, when the Ottomanization process had been accomplished and Thessaloniki became an Ottoman metropolis, having, together with Edirne, the highest population in the Balkans.

Фантазиите на Възраждането – генеалогиите

Author(s): Georgi Valchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2019

Addressing the vicissitudes and times of triumph and failure in the life of Alexander Exarch (Alexander Boev – Beyoglu), a Bulgarian prominent public figure, the paper discusses the invention, construction and deconstruction of personal biographies in the period of the rise of Bulgarian nationalism in the Ottoman Empire. The latter, historically defined as а period of National Revival, mobilized the ambitions and efforts of Bulgarian revolutionary émigrés to turn into recognizable political subjects and reliable representatives of the national community. The case of Alexander Exarch is especially emblematic in this regard as far as he constructed his identity of a promising diplomate and politician on associations and suggestions for presumable aristocratic origin, coming from the byname “exarch”, added to the names of his family members. This byname perfectly assisted in procuring advocates for the Bulgarian cause in the European courts and circles, but at the same time, it attracted opponents among the émigrés, who blamed Alexander Exarch for taking advantage of “a fake noble exarchal genealogy”.The paper clearly shows how the invented biographies worked as an instrument for response and adaptation to dynamic historical contexts of profound and social transformation as well as how they confronted innovative personal strategies, traditional attitudes and local and translocal political projects.
