Južni Sloveni u Kongresnoj biblioteci u Vašingtonu

Author(s): Predrag Pajić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2005

Pre pet godina Kongresna biblioteka u Vašingtonu slavila je svoj dvestogodišnji jubilej. Daleke 1800. godine, 24. aprila, drugi po redu predsednik Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, Džon Adams (John Adams), potpisao je ukaz o osnivanju biblioteke koja će služiti za potrebe poslanika u skupštini mlade, četrnaestogodišnje države, i odobrio da se, za pet hiljada dolara, kupe “takve knjige koje bi bile neophodne za rad skupštine”. Sledeće, 1801. godine, iz Londona su stigle knjige, i Kongresna biblioteka je, sa sedamsto četrdeset svezaka i tri mape, osnovala svoju kolekciju. Dve godine kasnije tadašnji predsednik, Tomas Džeferson (Thomas Jefferson), potpisao je prvi Zakon o biblioteci, kojim je Kongresna biblioteka stavljena pod kontrolu zajedničke komisije sastavljene od članova Senata i Predstavničkog veća.

Under Which King, Bezonian? Experimental Philosophy Versus Thought-Experiment

Author(s): Christopher Norris / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2011

In this essay I present a critical review of the current debate between partisans of two, on the face of it sharply conflicting present-day movements of thought. On the one hand are ranged the thought-experimentalists, or those who uphold some version of the ‹armchair› philosopher’s traditional appeal to truths of reason or a priori grounds of knowledge. On the other are found their more empirically-minded opponents who urge that we abandon such delusory ideas and instead practise a very different form of ‹experimental philosophy›. This latter is conceived very much on the model of the social sciences and involves a survey of opinion on various topics conducted across a sample group of respondents including, though by no means restricted to, the community of expert or specialist philosophers.

Heldenplätze voller Fragen

Author(s): Pál Kelemen / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2000

Thomas Bernhard and his impact on Hungary “Thomas Bernhard ist erst jetzt endgültig gestorben, zu einem Zeitpunkt - nämlich an seinem zehnten Todestag -, als seine viel kritisierte Heimat ihn plötzlich zu den guten Schriftstellern zu zählen beginnt. Diese Anerkennung gilt in Österreich eher toten Dichtern…“ - war am 1. März 1999 in der Népszabadság, der bekanntesten politischen Tageszeitung Ungarns, zu lesen. Das erinnerte stark an Jean Paul Sartres Worte, als er in Situations II verbittert feststellen mußte, daß jeder Kritiker, überhaupt die ganze sogenannte Wissenschaft der Literatur, sowieso nur mit schon längst verstorbenen Dichtern etwas anzufangen weiß. Der Glaube an posthumen Ruhm, so Sartre, gründe auf ein Mißverständnis. Dem richtigen Dichter gehe es dagegen immer um das hic et nunc. Wenn der Dichter etwas zu sagen habe, würde er nicht irgendwelche künftigen Leser ansprechen. Diese Auffassung entspricht weitgehend Bernhards Meinung: Er tue nur das, wovon er etwas verstehe, so Bernhard im Interview mit Kurt Hoffmann, bei der Zukunft gehe es ihm niemals um Ruhm. Das Jahr 1989 ist für unser Thema in zweierlei Hinsicht wichtig. Einerseits treten die Rezeptionsbedingungen mit Bernhards Tod national wie international in eine neue Phase. Andererseits fiel 1989 der Eiserne Vorhang, Ungarns Demokratisierung, deren Beginn bereits ein Jahr zuvor anzusetzen ist, konnte sich nun stärker entfalten. Das war die grundlegende Voraussetzung für den Beginn einer mehr oder minder zeitgemäßen, auf jeden Fall aber sich frei gestaltenden Rezeption westlicher Literatur in Ungarn.(...)

Okupacja jako sztuka. Przestrzeń publiczna do tworzenia

Author(s): Dorota Ogrodzka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 109/110/2012

Taking the Occupy Wall Street protests as a point of departure, this project attempts to find a formal affinity between art and this type of occupation. The analysis also encompasses ACTA and the commotion surrounding the squats in Warsaw. This type of action creates unity through performance. All kinds of “-isms” (feminism, postcolonialism, etc.) form a background for the protestors’ statements. According to the artist, this is where the political joins the artistic. Public space as art, as an ephemeral, performative act, stands in opposition to the notion of art as public space.

Przyczynek do biografii ostatniego administratora apostolskiego diecezji kamienieckiej księdza Jana Świderskiego

Author(s): Witalij Rosowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 32/2011

In the article that is based mainly on archive materials that were unknown until now a biography of Rev. Prelate Jan S´ widerski (1888-1959) is presented. In the 1920s and in the early 1930s he was a leading figure in the Catholic Church in the Soviet Podolia. At that time he had to manage the Kamieniec Diocese that in its borders comprised the former territory of the Podolia Province. Rev. S´ widerski, as one of the few Podolia priests who left Podolia in fear of Bolsheviks returned to his diocese at the end of 1920. He worked in the parishes of Zien´kowce, Won´kowce and Bar, where most Catholics were of Polish origin, and he carried out the duties first of the vicar-general, and from 1926 of the apostolic administrator of the Kamieniec Diocese. Like many other Polish Catholic priests in the USSR he experienced all kinds of insults, persecutions and repressions from the Communist regime. At the beginning of 1930 he was arrested and in the famous trial of a group of Roman-Catholic priests in the Soviet Ukraine he was sentenced to death, which was then converted to 10 years in camp. After he returned to Poland in 1932 as one of the political prisoners exchanged by the USSR and Poland he started work in the huck Diocese in Volhynia. The outbreak of the Second World War forced him to leave the area again. After the war was ended he finally settled in the WKocKawek Diocese, where he worked until his death.

Geographical distribution of poverty In Poland

Author(s): Paweł Kretowicz,Tomasz Chaberko,Nina Grad,Sylwia Łebek / Language(s): English Issue: 130/2012

Local indicators of spatial association (acronym: L I S A) were used to identify regions of high and low poverty in Poland. Poverty is defined as the percentage of individuals on welfare – mean values for the period 2007 – 2009. Each region was assigned a name based on location. Twelve indices commonly associated with poverty were analyzed – 4 of the 12 describe financial status, next 4 social and demographic diversity, and last 4 the standard of living. The authors considered the selected indexes and the way they indicate poverty in some regions and are not related to poverty in other regions. The paper concerns cities, suburban gminas and rural gminas.
