Looking for the Concept of Style (1753-1953)

Author(s): Ján Bakoš / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

A number of authors have written about the history of the concept of style, one of the key formulating concepts of art history. Those deserving special mention here are Jan Białostocki (‘Styl’, in: BIAŁOSTOCKI, J.: Historia sztuki wśród nauk humanistycznych. Wrocław-Warszawa-Kraków-Gdańsk 1980, pp. 36-55), Willibald Sauerländer, (‘From Stilus to Style: Reflections on the Fate of a Notion’, in: Art History, 6, 1983, no. 3, pp. 253-270), Carlo Ginzburg, (‘Stil. Einschließung und Ausschließung’, in: GINZBURG, C.: Holzaugen. Über Nähe und Distanz. Berlin 1999, pp. 168-211), and Robert Suckale (‘Stilgeschichte’, in: Kunsthistorische Arbeitsblätter, 11, 2001, pp. 17-26). The present study is an attempt to map in greater detail the efforts of several generations of scholars to define style, starting with the ‘discovery’ of the history of style in the mid-eighteenth century and ending with the crisis that ensued after the end of the Second World War.

„Za Boha a národ!“: How the Slovak Language Press in America Helped Form Slovak-American Identity

Author(s): BEN SORENSEN / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2023

This research explores Slovak-American identity formation through the Slovak Language Press in late 1800s and early 1900s North America. Publications like Jednota, Amerikansko-Slovenske Noviny, and Slovak v Amerike promoted literacy, political awareness, and shaped much of the Slovak-American identity. Remarkably, Amerikansko-Slovenske Noviny had more subscribers than all Slovak newspapers in Slovakia combined, and therefore also exerted a much greater impact on the Slovak-American identity. We also examine the contrast between the press’s portrayal of Slovak-American worldviews and the historical reality of their experience, as well as their current identity and worldview, as well as the enduring influence of Jednota, the oldest Slovak-English continuously published newspaper, on today’s Slovak-American identity.

GEORGIA’S GREATEST MODERNIST POET UNDER THE SOVIET TOTALITARIAN REGIME

Author(s): Maia Ninidze,Natia Sikharulidze / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2024

The article studies the influence of the Soviet Union totalitarian regime on the famous Georgian poet – Galaktion Tabidze’s (1891-1959) life and works. The first two chapters refer to the legitimacy of using the terms “Totalitarianism” and “modernism” in this context and give a short survey of the general views about the tasks. Chapter three discusses the reasons why the Soviet leaders condemned Modernism and oppressed modernist authors. Next three chapters refer to one particular poet – Galaktion Tabidze and his efforts to survive and keep publishing his poetry. The detailed analysis of the changes made by him in his old (pre-Soviet) poems vividly reflect the directives of the Communist leaders. His failed attempt to publish a poem about the brutality of the totalitarian regime against Georgian rebellions demonstrates the strength of censorship. Galaktion Tabidze was not executed but was led to suicide step by step. We consider that literary works of other writers should also be studied from this point of view to make a full picture how the totalitarian regime oppressed writers and artists, controlled and influenced literature and art.

Архитект Фридрих Грюнангер и България

Author(s): Lyubinka Stoilova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2025

This paper explores the work of Friedrich Grünanger in Bulgaria from 1879 until his retirement (1914–1915). At a time when the country faced an acute need for specialists, the architect dedicated his 35-year career to supporting rapid social progress. He addressed a wide range of professional challenges for various institutions and social circles, introducing contemporary knowledge and expertise from Central Europe. Well-known aspects of Grünanger’s biography are expanded with new insights into the life circumstances that shaped his work, which unfolded in three overlapping phases: as a civil servant, as a freelance designer, and as an architect at the “Evlogi and Hristo Georgievi” Ephoria. These roles intertwined over time, influencing one another. The analysis of the architect’s personal style within a broader pan-European context, complemented by newly discovered drawings and photographs, enriches our understanding of Bulgarian architecture and culture during the transition from the 19th to the 20th century.

Гръкоосманизъм срещу панславизъм: Власис Гавриилидис и неговият поглед върху руската балканска политика

Author(s): Slaveya Kotova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2025

In the years following the Crimean War, a segment of the Greek elite recognized the incompatibility between the so-called “Great Idea” of Greek unification and Russian imperial ambitions regarding the Straits and the Ottoman capital. On an ideological level, the rise of Pan-Slavism also posed a threat to Greek claims of cultural supremacy over the Orthodox Slavic populations in the Balkans, fueling Russophobic sentiments within Greek society. Against this backdrop, the Bulgarian- Greek church dispute erupted, reinforcing fears of a Slavic conspiracy orchestrated by Russia. It was in this context that Vlasios Gavriilidis’ text Greece and Pan-Slavism appeared in 1869. The present article critically examines the historical overview of Russian eastern policy as presented by the author.

Fantastyka przełomu XIX i XX wieku w służbie edukacji polonistycznej na rzecz kryzysu klimatycznego

Author(s): Dariusz Piechota / Language(s): Polish Issue: 33/2024

This article is an attempt to introduce into school teaching the practice of re-reading the canon from an ecocritical perspective, and taking into account new texts raising the issue of global warming. The author suggests including fantasy from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, in particular the forgotten works of Antoni Lange, into the curriculum. Works such as New Tarzan and The Memorial of Dr. Chiang-Fu-Li may become an impulse for reflection on the nineteenth-century sources of the current crisis. Paradoxically, fantasy prose at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, read from an ecocritical perspective, reveals the aesthetics of modernism in the new, paradoxically realistic setting of the Anthropocene. Apocalyptic images seem extremely compatible with the contemporary realities, and constitute a kind of intergenerational parallel (19th–21st century).

Author(s): Andrea Umberto Gritti / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2025

This article seeks to shed light on the opposition sparked by the expansion of grain exports in the Ottoman Balkans during the late 1840s. It addresses key issues in the historiography of institutional and social transformations in the Ottoman Empire during the reform (Tanẓîmât) era. Specifically, it examines the impact of suspending compulsory grain payments to the state and introducing free trade on the population’s food consumption. Drawing on a collection of documents from the Ottoman archives in Istanbul and the Italian diplomatic archives, the article explores how the administration managed emerging supply challenges and the growing opposition among the population to exporters’ activities.
