Ostarjeti na otoku. Kvaliteta života starijega stanovništva hrvatskih otoka

Author(s): Sonja Podgorelec / Language(s): Croatian

The ageing of the populations of Croatian island is the result of the process that marked island life during the past century – emigration. Permanent outflow from the islands of mainly younger people of working age had a gradual effect on the total reduction of population, and also on natural demographic trends, causing a fall in the birth-rate and relative growth of the death rate. The result of such natural and mechanical trends was the ageing of the island population reinforced by the return of islanders after retirement to their island. The specificity of island life, the age and gender structure of the population as well as the self-reliance of frequently small populations, have determined the roles of individual groups and have forced the inhabitants of the Croatian islands to lead active lives into advanced old age. The author argues for a broader conception of understanding the activities of elderly members of island communities and provides an answer to the questions of the ways of island life and the role of migration, evaluates the problems of island community and ways of solving them, and talks about the place of elderly people in revival programmes for the islands and the quality of their life at the beginning of the 3rd millennium. In this connection a quantitative analysis of census data and data from various other institutions were used, while in the field survey the questionnaire method was applied as well as the biographic method or the method of deep interviews. The questionnaire survey was conducted on a sample of the populations of Ugljan, Iž and Dugi Otok. Likewise we tried to give a broader and more individual picture of the quality of life of the elderly island people through ten life stories of old islanders, the majority of whom were inhabitants of the Kvarner islands: Krk, Cres and Lošinj.

Written Cancer Narratives. An Ethnomedical Study of Cancer Patients’ Thoughts, Emotions and Experiences

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

Above all, this work is about patients and their points of view. It concentrates on patients’ ‘voicings’, which are important in order to make the cancer experience understandable and ‘open’ in the current cultural and societal setting. When following this thesis one should bear in mind that it is the work of a folklorist who is specialised in illness narratives and traditional traits occurring in narrative representations. Particularly in the written narratives, the natural world and the glimpses of tradition become bound together with one general aim – to tackle the illness and mediate its meanings.

In Search of the Self: Reconciling the Past and the Present in Immigrants’ Experience

Author(s): Larisa Fialkova,Maria Yelenevskaya / Language(s): English

This book is a follow-up to our project devoted to personal narratives of ex-Soviets in Israel. Our original plan was to collect previously published articles dealing with immigration issues but differing from the main themes of our book Ex-Soviets in Israel: From Personal Narratives to a Group Portrait (Fialkova & Yelenevskaya 2007). The themes of immigrants in the city, attitude to law, immigrants’ literature and humor were touched upon but not developed in depth in that volume.They were researched in a number of papers written later (Fialkova &Yelenevskaya 2006, 2006a, 2011, 2012, Yelenevskaya & Fialkova 2006,2008) and discussed in our presentations at 11 scholarly conferences.However, when we re-read the articles we realized that the situation in the Russian-speaking community was so dynamic that studies conducted three-five years ago should be seriously revised and updated.

Slovenský národopis 1953-2002: Bibliografia

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

Zavŕšenie polstoročia vo vydavani Slovenskeho narodopisu je udalosťou, ktora ponukla možnosť rekapitulovať uplynule desaťročia nielen v živote tohto vedeckeho periodika, ale jeho prostrednictvom aj skupiny disciplin, formujucich sa na Slovensku od narodopisu, zastrešujuceho etnografiu a folkloristiku, k dnešnej etnologii, kulturnej a socialnej antropologii. Tieto prostrednictvom Slovenskeho narodopisu prezentovali svoje poznatky, komunikovali s vedcami z inych krajin, disciplin i s verejnosťou. Možnosť spoznať širku tem, ktore boli v uplynulych paťdesiatich rokoch predmetom zaujmu tohto vedneho odboru (bez ohľadu na jeho aktualny nazov), prehľad osobnosti, ktore vstupovali prostrednictvom časopisu do vedeckej komunikacie, i kvantitativny pohľad na ich vedecku produkciu na jeho strankach prinaša tato Bibliografia. Rovnako doležitympodnetom jej vzniku bola potreba vytvoriť komplexnu pomocku, umožňujucu vyhľadavať podľa viacerych kriterii v časopise publikovane texty ako pramene udajov a poznatkov pre ďalšie badanie. Bibliografia nadvazuje na pracu Milady Kubovej Register časopisu Slovenský národopis. Ročníky I – XXV (1953–1977), ktoru publikovala ako prilohu prveho čisla Slovenskeho narodopisu v roku 1978. Ide o tematicky usporiadanu bibliografiu prvych 25 ročnikov časopisu s autorskym registrom. Podnet na vytvorenie bibliografie 50 ročnikov Slovenskeho narodopisu vyšiel približne v roku 2002 od Hany Hloškovej, vtedajšej vedeckej pracovničky Ustavu etnologie SAV, redaktorky Slovenskeho narodopisu a sučasne externej pedagogičky na Univerzite Konštantina Filozofa v Nitre.

Thurzovci a ich historický význam

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

Das vorliegende Sammelband „Die Thurzo und ihre historische Bedeutung“ ist das Ergebnis der Zusammenarbeit von Historikern aus der Slowakei, Ungarn und Deutschland. Die Grundlage für die Entstehung dieser Publikation bereitete die internationale Konferenz, die im Jahre 2009 anlässlich des 400. Jahrestags der Wahl von Georg Thurzo zum ungarischen Palatin veranstaltet wurde. Die anregungsvolle Tagung und Diskussion, sowie die weiteren Untersuchungen zum Thema boten genügend Unterlagen für die Zusammenfassung der Beiträge in einem Sammelband. Das erste Kapitel trägt den Titel Der Weg in die ungarische Aristokratie und hier werden die wichtigsten Vertreter des Geschlechts Thurzo vorgestellt, die sich am meisten um seinen politischen und wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg verdienten. Géza Pálffy analysiert in dem Unterkapitel Die Familie Thurzo und ihre Stellung in der ungarischen Aristokratie die Karrieremöglichkeiten im Königreich Ungarn am Ende des Mittelalters und zu Beginn der Frühen Neuzeit, sowie die Möglichkeiten, die die einzelnen Mitglieder des Geschlechts nutzten, um ihre Ambitionen zu erfüllen. Marián Skladaný widmet sich im Unterkapitel Der wirtschaftliche Aufstieg der Thurzo den ersten Vertretern der Familie, die zuerst zum niederen Adel gehörten und für eine gewisse Zeit zum Bürgertum wechselten, damit sie sich der kaufmännischen und unternehmerischen Tätigkeit widmen und den Wohlstand der Familie begründen konnten. Gabriella Erdélyi stellt in ihrem Beitrag „Ich bin nur ein Mensch, mein König, kein Stein“ – Alexius Thurzo im Dienst der Habsburger einen der einflussreichsten Thurzo-Männer vor, dessen kaufmännisch-unternehmerische Tätigkeit den ganzen mitteleuropäischen Raum umfasste, wobei er auch wichtige Funktionen vertrat und zu den Vertrauensmännern des Herrschers Ferdinand I. und der Königin Maria von Ungarn gehörte. Ein weiteres bedeutendes Familienmitglied präsentiert Lajos Gecsényi im Unterkapitel Der rätselhafte Thurzo. Franz Thurzo, der Präsident der Ungarischen Kammer und der Hofkammer (1549 – 1563). Das zweite Kapitel widmet sich dem Thema Die Thurzo und die Reformation. Mehrere Mitglieder des Geschlechts gehörten zur hohen Kirchenhierarchie und wurden vordergründig durch ihre Kontakte zu Humanisten und ihr großzügiges Mäzenatentum bekannt. Einen der bedeutendsten Bischöfe aus der Familie Thurzo stellt Martin Rothkegel im Unterkapitel Die Beziehungen des Olmützer Bischofs Stanislaus I. Thurzo zu Ungarn vor. Die Reformation fand unter den Mitgliedern des Geschlechts auch zahlreiche Anhänger, über sie schreibt Zoltán Csepregi in seinem Beitrag Die Thurzo und die Anfänge der Reformation. Diejenigen Vertreter der Familie, die ihr Reichtum auf der unternehmerischen Tätigkeit begründeten, dachten auch auf ihre weniger wohlhabenden Mitmenschen und gründeten mehrere Stiftungen zu ihrer Unterstützung. Tünde Katona stellt in diesem Zusammenhang in ihrem Beitrag die Leutschauer Stiftung der Thurzo vor. Das dritte Kapitel wird der Problematik der Höfe der Thurzo als Zentren des wirtschaftlichen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Lebens gewidmet. Die Thurzo erlebten einen interessanten Übergang von den adeligen in den bürgerlichen Stand und von dem Reichtum, das sich durch ihre unternehmerische Tätigkeit angehäuft hatte, kauften sie Gutsherrschaften, damit sie erneut nicht nur in den Adelsstand zurückkehren, sondern gleich in die Aristokratie aufsteigen konnten. Tünde Lengyelová untersucht Die wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse an den Gutsherrschaften der Thurzo an der Wende des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts. Einen wesentlichen Aufgabenbereich des Palatins stellte die Verwaltungsagenda dar, über die Péter Dominkovits in seinem Beitrag Die Kontakte des Palatins Georg Thurzo zu den Komitaten Ödenburg und Eisenburg einen Überblick bietet. Einen Blick in das Alltagsleben an den Höfen gewähren in ihren Beiträgen Diana Duchoňová im Unterkapitel Die Hofordnungen an den Höfen der Thurzo und der Esterházy, sowie Borbála Benda, die sich der Speisekarte von Stanislaus Thurzo aus dem Jahre 1603 widmet. Das vierte Kapitel befasst sich mit den verschiedenen Formen des Kulturnachlasses der Thurzo. Zuzana Ludiková und Árpád Mikó präsentieren die Bestattungsstätten und Grabdenkmäler der Thurzo nicht nur als Symbole ihrer Macht, sondern auch als künstlerische Ausdrucksformen. Eine bedeutende Quelle zur genealogischen Untersuchungen stellen die Hochzeitseinladungen der Thurzo dar, die Frederik Federmayer näher beschreibt. In dem umfangreichen heimatkundlichen Werk von Matthias Bel wären die genealogischen Forschungen des Polyhistors fast untergegangen, deshalb richtet Gergely Tóth den Blick gerade auf diesen Aspekt in seinem Beitrag „Theatrum Nobilitatis Hungaricae“. Die genealogischen Untersuchungen von Matthias Bel mit besonderem Augenmerk auf die Familie Thurzo. Zu den wichtigsten Mäzentätigkeiten der Thurzo gehörten die Förderung der Studenten an ausländischen Universitäten, sowie die Veröffentlichung von verschiedenen Publikationen und die Unterstützung von Druckereien. Über derartige Aktivitäten des Palatins und seiner Familienmitglieder schreibt Helena Saktorová in ihrem Beitrag Die Persönlichkeit von Georg Thurzo im Spektrum seiner Autorendedikationen. Mit dem schriftlichen Nachlass der Familie Thurzo im Staatsarchiv von Bytča befasst sich Jana Kurucárová. Die Ergebnisse einer außergewöhnlichen und seltenen Untersuchung präsentieren die Anthropologen Milan Thurzo und Radoslav Beňuš in ihrem Beitrag Die anthropologische und paläopathologische Analyse der Gebeine der Familienmitglieder von Georg Thurzo. Damit gewähren sie einen einzigartigen Einblick in den gesundheitlichen Zustand von mehreren Vertretern dieses Geschlechts. Arwa, heute Orava war die grösste Gutsherrschaft der Thurzo und die hießige Burg gehörte zu den bedeutendsten Zentren der Familie, aus diesem Grund widmeten sie eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit ihrer architektonischen Gestaltung, die Michal Čajka in seinem Beitrag Die Umbauten der Burg von Orava in der Zeit der Thurzo schildert. Die Publikation enthält eine Reihe von neuen Kenntnissen, die das Ergebnis von intensiven Untersuchungen mehrerer Historiker, Kirchenhistoriker, Archäologen, Anthropologen, Archivaren und Kunsthistoriker darstellen. Trotzdem gibt es noch genügend Themen und Fragen, die auf Aufarbeitung warten und weitere Anregungen für Forschungen über diese interessante Familie darbieten, deren Mitglieder nicht nur zur übernationalen Aristokratie des Königreichs Ungarn und der mitteleuropäischen Habsburgermonarchie, sondern auch zu den außerordentlich begabten Unternehmern, Politikern, Soldaten und bedeutenden Vertretern des kulturellen Lebens an der Schwelle des Mittelalters zur Frühen Neuzeit gehörten.

Život olašských žien

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

One can write about the Roma people in many ways. The intention of writing about them can also be different. I made my way “into the field” with an open mind and heart in order to explore one of the groups of Roma. By doing so, I aimed to discover as many objective facts as possible. The objective was to discover, to such an extent, these facts in which the Wallachian Roma shared and supported directly with their testimonies. The book is an ethnographic description of selected aspects of life of a particular Roma group – Wallachian Roma (Lovara) living in Nitra. This group forms a small percentage of the Roma population in Slovakia and is mainly presented as a closed community which is hard to penetrate. This seems to be one of the reasons why there is an absence of information about Wallachian Roma; not only to the general public, but also among experts – in spite of the fact that Wallachian Roma form a special sub-ethnic group which is characterised, among other things, by the preservation of traditional norms, specific forms of behavior, and a set of unique habits in their community that persists even today. An important feature which influences the way of life of Wallachian Roma isa persistent solidarity among them by observing family and community rules. The book aims to describe and analyse the position of women within the community of Wallachian Roma today, present the picture of a Wallachian woman living her everyday life subordinated to the internal rules and laws of the community and focuses on the transformation of her position throughout her life. The publication focuses particularly on the current situation, but also observes the preservation of the traditional model of women´s position within the community of Wallachian Roma, the possible generation differences and the penetration of newer forms. The book also deals with factors influencing their formation, and aims to grasp this issue in the most comprehensive manner possible from the point of view of several generations and both sexes. The data presented in the book represent the results of field research conducted on Borová Street in Nitra, where the Wallachian community is concentrated within a compact residential unit. The current population of this community is around 350–400 adult Roma with children from the Ferkošť family who have lived at this location since 1958 when the first house was built there. The content of the book places emphasis on the changes in the position of women from their birth up to old age.

Inheritance relation and institution of inheritance are the main subjects of this book. Inheritance is a process regulating the transfer of property by the deceased among his/hers inheritors. The transfer of property, assets, as well as certain rights and obligations from the deceased to inheritors settles in probate proceedings. Since 1955, inheritance in Serbia can be two fold: legal and testamentary. The Serbian legislature does not recognize other inheritances, such as inheritance contract. Therefore, an inheritance is possible only when a person dies, or when a person is declared dead. Legal inheritance presumes the deceased is inherited by his/hers legal inheritors, divided into inheritance levels according to kinship relatedness and kinship lineage with the deceased. Furthermore, inheritors of the closer inheritance levels exclude from the inheritance inheritors of the further inheritance level, hence the principle of exclusion is applied. The first inheritance level includes the deceased biological and adopted offspring, as well as conjugal partners. Persons related by blood with the deceased, that is, related by birth, have an equal right to inheritance as persons related by civil kinship, that is, related by adoption with the deceased. Gender equality of all offspring is one of the main legal rules of inheritance established by the socialist legislature in Serbia. Legal inheritance also assumes the rule according to which all inheritors of the same level have an equal right to inheritance. An exception to this rule is a spouse, for he/she, within legal inheritance, is entitled to one half of the deceased assets. That is, this inheritance portion is larger than inheritance portions of the deceased’s offspring, or all other inheritors. Testamentary inheritance, in contrast to legal, grants a person to dispose his/her property at own discretion. At the same time, the Law on Inheritance regulates that a testament cannot be open or property divided until the death of the Testator. In this way, compliance is attained between rules about testamentary inheritance and general rules of inheritance, as defined in the Law of Inheritance. Despite this regulation, practice often witnesses deviations from certain legal normative. Disagreement of theory and practice is not a sole characteristic of inheritance but also of other spheres in civil law. The institution of inheritance and inheritance practice do differ, however, from other law spheres in explicit parallel application of legal and customary normative. This parallel practice is in application throughout Serbia for more than a century in spite that civil law and legislation do not consider customary normative as a source of law. Customary law, due to this refutation, so represents an illegitimate law system. This issue provokes a number of questions, primarily: within legal and testamentary inheritance, how it is possible to have a parallel application of legal (official) and customary normative while at the same time, the whole procedure is considered legal? The parallel application of customary and law normative is not problematic solely in this matter but also raises a concern of collision in between the two respective normative. The collision emerges as a result of essentially different, opposed principles of inheritance within the two law systems.

Religious Practices in the Japanese Mountains: From Fleeing the Hells Towards the Healthy, Sustainable and Spiritual Practices of the Consumer Society

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

The study examines the Japanese mountains as places of religious practices. The author looks at both the historical and the present-day religious practices enacted in the mountains and asks how the logic of the market has shaped them. By looking through the historical development of religious practices in the mountainous locality of Tateyama, the first three chapters offer an understanding of the relationship between mountains and notions of the afterlife. The case of Tateyama, a popular pilgrimage site during the Edo period, provides an insight into the pilgrimage place and its mountain cult taking into account the economic aspects in the maintenance of the cult. Drawing on insights gained through field research in the Japanese mountains of Tateyama and Dewa Sanzan, the author explores the present-day re-enactments and sustenance of religious practices and their intersection with the cultural heritage concept. These observations have provided a useful perspective on adjustments between providers of religious practices and participants. Although seen as marginal practices, austerities such as taki gyō and the complexity of qualities associated with them are introduced in the last chapter as examples of the creative sustenance of present-day ascetic practices.

Priest-King of the Warriors and Witch-Queen of the Others: Cargo Cult and Witch Hunt in Indo-European Myth and Reality

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

In this book an interpretation of two Indo-European mythological themes within their complex context is presented. Considered are especially historical and socio-cognitive aspects of their background. By means of this approach an innovative interpretation of an otherwise traditional mythological structure is proposed as well as a new one introduced. In the first part of the book the matter of well-known Indo-European creation myth is discussed. It is hypothetically concluded that Proto-Indo-European cultural area originated in prehistoric Cargo Cult. Certain motives and themes of Indo-European creation myth are interpreted as possible semantic relics of Pre-Proto-Indo-European Cargo Cult ideology. In the second part an attempt to present the brand new Indo-European mythological structure, so called witch-hunting myth, is made. Analysed are various local manifestations of narrative dealing with the conflict of elites with the demonic army led by a female witch. A basic sujet pattern is identified and then interpreted as an outcome of archaic Indo-European societies’ social and gender setting.

Lexicon of Spiritual Powers in the Nag Hammadi “Library” in the Light of the Texts of Ritual Power

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

The lexicon contains a complete list of spiritual beings (“powers”) mentioned by name in Nag Hammadi and related texts. They are presented against a broad background of ritual magic texts: “magical” papyri, defixiones, lamellae, and amulets of precious and semi-precious stones. The whole is also supplemented by extracts from patristic literature. The main part of the Lexicon is preceded by an introduction, in which the fundamental originality of the demonology of the Nag Hammadi texts is demonstrated. The book is addressed primarily to researchers interested in late antique Christianity, especially Gnosticism. Specialists in late antique magic will also benefit from it, as the lexicon juxtaposes two source corpora, which are generally considered separately. It is the first comprehensive undertaking of its kind in the world literature on the subject.

Pamięć represji. Świadkowie Jehowy w Związku Radzieckim

Author(s): Tomasz Bugaj / Language(s): Polish

[an excerpt from a review] “The monograph showing the narrative aspects of Jehovah's Witnesses' memory significantly complements memory studies by showing how culture and religion influence images of traumatic events from the past. Analysing the narrations of the respondents, the author draws attention to the mechanisms of evaluation (e.g. of torturers) and taming the trauma of the past, and these mechanisms result – as the reading of the book shows – from the religion and the values transmitted in it.The monograph is therefore an interesting, valuable and necessary study. It is an erudite work, the author refers not only to the works of culture scholars, but also sociologists, including the sociologists of religion, which I think is justified and necessary. It is based on a large, representative, and what should be appreciated, independently collected material, which includes narratives of members of the examined community living previously in the borderlands, as well as those living on the territories of several former republics of the USSR”.

Slawistyka integralna – naukowy kanon i erozja systemu (kontrapunkty południowo- i zachodniosłowiańskie)

Author(s): Lech Miodyński / Language(s): Polish

The book describes in the chronological order – with the attention focused mainly on the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century – key elements of the evolution of the European Slavic studies in the context of integrative and disintegrative processes. These tendencies are situated within the framework of diverse Slavic studies and their sociopolitical and cultural surroundings. The illustration of this issue is provided by the comparison of the extensive factography from the history of the polymorphous discipline, discussed in the methodological, socio-environmental and ethnopolitical dimensions. The oppositions “centralism – particularisms” or “collective norm – individual norm” have been designed for the ordering of rich material from all regions of Slavdom – in the perspective of creating and breaking the canon of the scholarly discoveries and the representations of the essence of Slavic studies as such.

Dva životy, dvě kultury, dvě země: Řekové na českém území od 2. poloviny 20. století do současnosti

Author(s): Jana Poláková / Language(s): Czech

The book is part of a long term project of the Hellenika Foundation Brno Greeks on Czech territory since the mid-20th century in the implementation of which the Ethnographic Institute of the Moravian Museum has been participating on professional basis. The main goal of the project was to present, on the occasion of its 70th anniversary, the first big immigration wave of Greek refugees on the territory of the then Czechoslovakia. The foundation started preparing worthy celebrations as soon as in 2017 with interviewing 19 selected respondents in the average duration of 45 minutes resulting in separate video and audio records. This research became then a stepping stone of activities in following several years. The first output was the exhibition Two lives, two cultures, two countries. Greeks on Czech territory since the mid-20th century. The public could learn about the arrival of Greeks on Czechoslovak soil in consequence of the civil war, about their gradual integration as well as preservation of their specific culture. During the exhibition opening in November 2018 a documentary with the same title was shown that had come into being through the combination of extracts from interviews, period shots and examples of archive materials of various kinds. In the following year the film was presented at the festival of museum movies Musaionfilm in Comenius Museum in Uherský Brod. It was awarded the main prize „Černý Janek“ for an innovative treatment of the fortunes of the Greek minority in this country. In 2019 a travelling version of the exhibition was created available today to educational and memory institutions throughout the country. In the same year the transcription of the recorded interviews into a written form was carried out. Their publication, analysis and interpretation complemented with a brief survey of the past and present are the core of this book.
