PE URMELE UNUI SPECTACOL: UNIFORME DE GENERAL, DE MIRCEA ELIADE PE SCENELE DIN FRANȚA. CONVORBIRE CU REGIZORUL BENOÎT VITSE

Author(s): Cristina Scarlat / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2014

The show Uniformes de général staged by Stéphane Verrue en 1984, en France, an adaptation by Benoît Vîtse of Mircea Eliad’s homonymous text, represents one of the successful examples of translating a literary text into the language of the theatre show. The interview with Benoît Vîtse is an almost archaeological investigation, one of reconstruction of this/his show and of the atmosphere inspired by the original text.

Архивный фетишизм и историографический нигилизм в одном подходе к изучению истории обороны Ленинграда

Author(s): G. L. Sobolev,M. V. Khodjakov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 31/2020

The article describes The Defense of Leningrad. 1941–1945, a collection of documents and materials about the Blockade of Leningrad. The editors of the book attempted to demonstrate the uniqueness of their published sources, obtained from collections of the State Defense Committee, I. V. Stalin, A. A. Zhdanov, V. M. Molotov, G. M. Malenkov, and A. I. Mikoyan, which are stored in the archive RGASPI. However, an acquaintance with the materials in this collection reveals that many have already been in circulation and are the basis for numerous monographs and articles. In the introduction to the collection, there is no historiographical discussion. Choosing such an approach to presenting the material, the editors not only ignored achievements of their predecessors, but also fell under the influence of these supposedly “new” documents. They “rediscover” questions of military and party leadership in Leningrad besieged by enemy armies, the scale of mortality among the civilian population, and they “learn” about the existence of privileges in providing residents with food. Unfortunately, the archeographical part of the introduction violates accepted professional norms: the editors do not indicate whether this or that document has already been published or is it being published for the first time. Recognizing the importance of publishing documents on the history of the Blockade of Leningrad from Russian archival collections, we draw attention to the need for correctly introducing materials into scholarly circulation.

Об экспедициях по поиску места Ледового побоища (по материалам дневников Г. Н. Караева)

Author(s): Yuriy Vladimirovich Krivosheev ,Roman Aleksandrovich Sokolov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 33/2020

An assessment of the reliability of results obtained during the work of the Combined Expedition, aimed at clarifying the location of the Battle on the Ice of 1242, has gained particular relevance over the last decades. Unpublished sources still not in scholarly circulation, especially diaries kept by expedition leader G. N. Karayev in 1956–1960, but these have a great significance for studying this problem. An analysis of their content allows ones to specify that at the first stage (in 1956) there was preliminary research (field trip, examining data from historical studies on the microregional geography, collecting information from locals). In 1957, thanks to the efforts of G. N. Karayev, specialized organizations were involved in performing such tasks as diving work, and after 1958 the expedition’s significantly expanded activities were done under auspices of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Documents preserved in the archive indicate that all the observations were carried out according to plan and were thoroughly recorded. Moreover, research that required special skills (diving work skills, work with equipment, etc.) were carried out exclusively by the people with special training. The documents also convey the emotional atmosphere that used to rule in this expedition: enthusiasm and the desire of participants to qualitatively complete the task.

NEKE NAPOMENE O PRIJEVODIMA ANDRIĆEVE DISERTACIJE

Author(s): Asim Zubčević / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 16/2012

Comparing the text of the original dissertation of Ivo Andric (Development of Spiritual Life in Bosnia under the influence of Turkish rule)originally written in German with the translations into Serbian and English one can notice differences and nuances that suggest a somewhat different understanding of the same dissertation in each of the three language versions. The differences consist in replacing the terms Mohammedan (noun) and Mohammedan (adjective) with term Muslim (noun) and Muslim (adjective) in Serbian translation and partly in English. The translation of the verb „poturčiti“ taken from folk songs and Mountain Wreath and friar Jukić's text is replaced by the expression „preći na islam“ in the German original, but not in English translation; they replaced the adjective Islamic with the word Muslim in Serbian translation; and there is omission of some words in German and English editions in description of devširme of the 16th century. These differences make the Serbian translation non historic and more open to reading in accordance with the views of Serbian nationalist historians. On the other hand, although more distant in time, the English translation is closer to the original.

DVA DOKUMENTA O VLADARU I PODANICIMA

Author(s): Jusuf Ramić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 14/2010

The first document was written by Ali ibn Ebi Talib and sent to El-Aštar en-Nahai, whom he appointed the governor of Egypt. The second by Tahir b. al-Husein and was sent to his son Abdullah when he was appointed the governor of Reqqe, Egypt and the region between them. Both documents are in form and substance similar to one another, both are addressed to governors of Egypt and both are, ultimately, the same length, although they were written in different times. The first was issued during the caliphate of Ali ibn Ebi Talib, and the second in the time of Abbasids, the golden period of Arabic literature.

Аутобиографија проте др Лазара Мирковића (професора старе Карловачке богословије, Богословије Светог Саве у Сремским Карловцима и првог професора литургике Православног богословског факултета Универзитета у Београду)

Author(s): Ignjatije Marković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2014

Proto-presbyter professor Dr. Lazar Mirković was both a student and a professor of the old Seminary of Karlovci, professor at the Saint Sava Seminary of Sremski Karlovci, and first professor of Liturgics at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Belgrade. It was through his own example of life within the Church and his tireless work in the field of Theology that he inspired many generations of students, always being ready to give answers to their questions even after they had completed their studies and become priests. His love of Christ gave him strength to overcome the tribulations of life. We have before us his Autobiography which demonstrates his desire and his zeal to be of service to his own and the younger generations. One of the most significant old Serbian manuscripts investigated by him was the Typikon of Nicodemus, which was later to be incinerated at the occasion of the German aerial bombardment of the National Library of Belgrade in 1941; Fr. Lazar Mirković had previously photographed it thus saving its contents for the future generations. During WW2 he copied all the 358 pages of the Typikon hoping that it would be published after the war. However, peace brought about different times and different criteria, and the Typikon of Nicodemus was put to the side. This did not stop Fr. Lazar Mirković from striving to have it published, and to continue studying other manuscripts knowing that their time would one day come.

Completări şi corijări la bibliografia maghiară a secolelor XVII şi XVIII

Cartea veche

Author(s): Dan Lăzărescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2002

The works of Hungarian bibliographers during the 17th and 18th centuries represent a very important part of the ancient books collection that can be found at Arad County Library. First, we have to mention the posthumous edition of the famous Dictionarum Latino Hungarico Latinum written by Molnar Albert (1574-1633); the first posthumous edition has been published in two distinctive volumes having the same year and place of printing, but different structure: the first is written in three languages (Latin, Greek, Hungarian), the second in two languages (Latin, Hungarian).Another important book that we can find at Arad is Bibliotheca Graeca et Latina. Berolini, Typis Ioannis Frederici Unger 1784 written by Karoly Imre Reviczki who uses a pen name – Periergus Deltophilus. It is an Editio altera.The 18th century is also represented by Teleky Jozsef with his book Essai sur la foiblesse des esprits-forts; the County Library has not the Leyde edition, but another copy printed at Amsterdam.We must also refer to a famous book Memoires sur les turcs et les tartares, written by a French baron of Hungarian origin François de Tott (1733-1793). The library has a copy from the second edition. All those examples prove that these books – it does not matter if we take into consideration the first, the second or the third edition etc – are very important in order to reconstitute the activity of Hungarian writers during the 17th and 18th centuries.

1876 Yılında Edirne Vilayeti’ndeki Asayiş Problemleri (826 Numaralı Ayniyat Defteri Verilerine Göre)

Author(s): Arzu Taşcan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 01/2021

Ayniyat notebooks are the notebooks where the writings sent from Sadaret in the XIXth century to the provincial administrators, ministries and other authorities were recorded exactly. There are registries about the administrative, financial, military, legal, social and other different matters in these notebooks. The main aim of this study is to determine public order problems which were reflected in the documents sent by Sadaret to the Edirne province in 1876 and are in the 826 numbered Ayniyat notebook. The documents in this notebook contain short letters sent to the province. In the letters, to the provincial administrators were informed about what they should do in front of complaints and requests of the public. The documents determined from the notebook on public order problems are about pillage, extortion, robbery, murder, damaging the crop and property, settling on someone else's property by force, land and pasture conflicts. The behavior of the administrators in provinces and state in the face of public complaints about these events that occurred in 1876 and earlier were scrutinized in the context of the documents in the notebook.

Verlen ili o muzici, jedan problem uporedne estetike

Author(s): Danilo Kiš / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 81-82/2021

Od mitološkog, simboličkog jedinstva poezije i muzike (Euterpa, Amfion, Orfej), preko sinkretizma do zvukovne organizacije pesničkog jezika (eufonije), svuda nalazimo istu tendenciju, omeđavanje dveju sličnih umetnosti ili pak pokušaj njihovog sjedinjavanja. Poezija je bila oduvek u sličnom odnosu i sa drugim umetnostima, nastojeći svuda da dokaže svoju superiornost; dovoljno je setiti se samo “Laokoona” (koji taj problem rešava u korist poezije) ili Leonardovog “Traktata” (koji daje prevlast slikarstvu), pa da se vidi da poezija zadire sa istim pretenzijama u sfere i drugih umetnosti, ne samo muzike.

Czasopismo „Acta Baltico-Slavica”: ponad pół wieku badań nad pograniczem bałtycko-słowiańskim

Author(s): Maksim Duszkin / Language(s): Polish Issue: 44/2020

In 2019, fifty-five years have passed since the publication of the first volume of Acta Baltico-Slavica. The article presents the history of the journal, including the most important changes in the editorial team, the concept and the content (volumes 1–43) which took place over the years.

Sermons of Dominican Marcin Bronisław Chrostowski Delivered during World War II

Author(s): Wiktor Szymborski / Language(s): English,Polish Issue: 2/2020

The aim of the article is to familiarize the reader with sermons delivered during World War II by Marcin Chrostowski OP, chaplain of the Polish Armed Forces in the West. Father Chrostowski’s legacy of sermons, stored in the Archive of the Polish Province of the Dominican Order, is an interesting supplement to information we currently hold on his service as chaplain of the Polish Armed Forces. The sermons reflect the spirit of his times and also present the morale of the military. Studying them allows us to capture moral attitudes preached to soldiers. This edition contains sermons delivered in Great Britain (Scotland), the USSR (where Fr. Chrostowski accompanied the field bishop during his official visit with the Polish forces), Iraq, the Holy Land, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the Reich. To date, these sermons have not been commonly known, although selected passages were published in Chrostowski’s printed biography (see H. Gallus, E. Mikołajczak, Ojciec Marcin Chrostowski, Poznań 2001). The remaining texts have yet not been analyzed by researchers. Father Marcin Chrostowski volunteered for the army in France, where he was staying at the outbreak of the war. Later, he became chaplain of the Polish Armed Forces in the West – in France and Great Britain, secretary of Field Bishop Gawlina, with whom he travelled to the USSR. After his service in the Holy Land, he was transferred to Great Britain, where he joined the ranks of General Maczek’s 1st Armored Division. As chaplain of the 9th Rifle Battalion, he followed the battle trail from “Maczuga” to Wilhelmshaven. Notably, he was rewarded for his heroism during the hostilities at Baarle Nassan with the War Order of Virtuti Militari.

Biogramy wraz z bibliografią podmiotową i przedmiotową duchownych diecezji kieleckiej w Słowniku Polskich Teologów Katolickich. Sprawozdanie z wykonanych prac

Author(s): Andrzej Kwaśniewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2020

The present report covers the work consisting in compiling biographies of the clergy of the Kielce diocese for the Dictionary of Polish Catholic Theologians. The research began in the 1970s and was published in the form of individual volumes of the dictionary. The first volume was published in 1981. In 2019, the 10th and latest volume was published. Biographies of the clergy from the period of 19th – 21st century were usually prepared by priests belonging to the Kielce scientific community and associated with the Kielce Seminary. In the Middle Ages and in modern times, the area belonging now to the Kielce diocese was part of the Krakow diocese and the Gniezno archdiocese. Biographies of the clergy working in the diocese at that time were usually drawn up by priests not connected with the theological environment active in Kielce. Thanks to the Dictionary, the majority of church writers from the Kielce area who have left behind any publications of scientific value have well documented biographies consisting of a scientific biography supported by primary and secondary sources.

Aksjologiczna nieprzejrzystość. O silnych wartościowaniach w dziennikach pisarzy

Author(s): Robert Piłat / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

In the present article, I discuss the issue of whether writers’ diaries reveal strong evaluations of their authors. Following Charles Taylor, I understand strong evaluation as the best axiological explanation which a given person is able to formulate and present as the reason for his or her preferences. This axiological awareness is a non-trivial internal choice made from among many possible explanations – it is a self-interpretation aimed at showing the source of the goodness instantiated by the person’s values. In the article, I look for evidence of such awareness in several well-known writers’ diaries. My conclusions are skeptical. Although the journals provide some clues in the search for strong evaluations, they are too chaotic and inconclusive. David Parker believes it more promising to look for fundamental axiological awareness in autobiographies instead. I find his approach correct; distanced reflection seems to be the only chance to reveal strong evaluations. This is despite the aporias involved in self-knowledge.

Зад кулисите на управлението. (Бележки на д-р Николай П. Николаев за участието му в правителството през 1938 година)

Author(s): Nikolay Poppetrov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2021

Nikolay P. Nikolaev was one of the active politicians in Bulgaria in the interwar period. He had participated in the building of the authoritarian regime since the second half of the 1930s. The two documents published here reflect his observations about the government in which he was the minister of internal affairs. These texts are an important source about the relations between the members of the cabinet, the mechanisms for exercising power, the notions about the character of a regime without political parties.

Anuradha Roy in conversation with Mihaela Gligor

Author(s): Mihaela Gligor / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

All the Lives We Never Lived started with the idea of a boy who can enter pictures and live in their world – through his imagination. I wrote quite a few false starts with this boy and nothing seemed right. Then came my second visit for Bali, for the Ubud Writers Festival and a whole world slowly started taking shape at a museum there, looking at the paintings of Walter Spies. I discovered Tagore had met Spies during his travels; that Beryl de Zoete, who wrote a book with Spies, had come to India to write on dance.

Паметта за трудово-възпитателното училище във Враня стена

Author(s): Tsvetana Manova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2021

The text presents and analyzes memories concerning the Youth Detention Center in the village of Vranya Stena, Zemen region, from its opening in 1961 to the cessation of its activities in the 90s. During the three decades of its existence, this school held a special status and had a crucial task – to create the conditions for the re-education of minors and underage girls with anti-social behaviour. This job was given to School teachers with significant authority and prestige within the field of education. The local commissions for action against anti-social behaviour, as well as the District Courts, worked actively with the schoolgirls. In the children’s pedagogical facility of the Police Office in Pernik thereБългарска етнология, бр. 3 (2021) / 459were four inspectors who were directly responsible for these affairs. The organization of the training and re-education in the Detention Center, in addition to being a subject to the Regulations submitted by the Ministry of Education, is also strongly supported by the impeccably built self-government. In this facility, the girls used to learn not only the curriculum but also got acquainted with different professions. Cultural and sports activities played a major role in the school life of the students, as they were well aware of many significant cultural events and activists in Bulgaria during that time. The state authorities supported the provision of jobs for schoolgirls. Only two years after the beginning of the democratic transition in Bulgaria, the Youth Detention Center in the village of Vranya Stena was closed.

Pisarz w archiwum. Prace nad poznańskim Archiwum Włodzimierza Odojewskiego

Author(s): Dagmara Nowakowska,Alicja Przybyszewska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 35/2019

The article is a collection of thoughts that transpired during the work at the Archive of Włodzimierz Odojewski. The aim of the authors was to identify and indicate the potential ways to study the life and works of the writer, and the expected result of the research is a biography of Odojewski. The research was based on the exploration of the writer’s private collection: unpublished documents, manuscripts, typescripts, personal papers, correspondence, family and estate papers and photographs. The authors focused on a number of issues. One, the biographical facts that influenced Odojewski’s output – World War II, frequent relocations, censorship and a ban on publishing in Poland, emigration, the relation with the Polish Institute in Maisons-Laffitte and working at Radio Free Europe’s editorial office. Two, the analysis of literary works including hundreds of typescripts in many variants (related to the phases of the genetic history of a literary work through the stages of Odojewski’s life) which allowed for describing Odojewski’s writing techniques. Three, ‘The writer’s map’ which points out places important for the author – Poznań, Gniezno, Kłecko, Podole, Szczecin, Warsaw, Paris, Berlin, Munich. Four, the correspondence (personal and cultural) which can be used as an important source of knowledge of the history of Polish post-war emigration. One of the most interesting parts of the collection is a collection of letters from Jerzy Giedroyć that show Polish culture outside the Iron Curtain.

Gustaw Herling e Elémire Zolla: tracce di un’amicizia

Author(s): Raoul Bruni,Małgorzata Ślarzyńska / Language(s): Italian Issue: 39/2020

The aim of this article is to show the relationship between Gustaw Herling-Grudziński and Elémire Zolla through their letters, until now unpublished, kept in the Archive of Herling-Grudziński in Naples. The letters sent to Herling-Grudziński by Zolla are published here for the first time. The literary relation between the two writers and intellectualists can also be traced in Zolla’s review of Herling-Grudziński’s volume of short stories Pale d’altare, translated into Italian and published in Italy, as well as in Herling’s-Grudziński review of Zolla’s novel Cecilia o la disattenzione.

Treści oraz cele wychowawcze magazynów szkolnych dwudziestolecia międzywojennego na podstawie pism szkół żeńskich Dziś i Jutro oraz Młodzieńczy Lot

Author(s): Katarzyna Ewa Zielińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4 (244)/2020

The magazines of pre-war female schools provide knowledge about the development of a new community – girls attending secondary education, which was formed as a result of numerous education reforms after 1918. The article presents the results of a content analysis of two periodicals edited by middle school students from the 1920s and 1930s. The purpose of the research was to identify the most popular issues discussed in Today and Tomorrow (Dziś i Jutro) and Youthful Flight (Młodzieńczy Lot) periodicals. It revealed the directions and goals of the pre-war education of school girls and the educational program in the interwar period. From the author’s point of view, it can be considered a universal model for the formula of pre-war school magazines, edited by girls, which significantly supplemented the rich offer of magazines for young people of the interwar period.
