Investigation “Stalin’s Captives” is dedicated to the topic of Japanese prisoners in the USSR after the World War II, which has been a taboo for a long time. The cause of the Soviet Union entering into the war with Japan is shown clearly on the basis of rich archives documents. The book gives motives for Stalin’s taking decision to make use of Japanese soldiers and officers on the works in Siberia, Far East and Middle Asia. It shows the process of political re-education, as well as repatriation of Japanese civil population and military prisoners from the USSR to the native land. The book is intended for scientific, as well as for broad reader's audience.

One of the most researched and discussed problems of the Bronze Age in the Aegean is the question of the absolute date of “the Santorini eruption”, i.e. the explosion of the Santorini volcano, a disaster that affected the lives of people in the vast region from Egypt to the Middle East to Central Europe. Opinions of natural sciences and traditional archaeology do not match as they determine that the event could have happened in a broad period from the mid-17th to the end of the 16th century BC. The work analyses individual arguments and methodological approaches and tries to address the question of the disagreement between them.

One hundred years of Germanic Studies in Brno equates to a hundred years of attempting to define the profile of a philological discipline situated very close, in a historical and geographical sense, to the identity of the university, the city and the whole country. After World War II, the Department of Germanic Studies began to build bridges towards the more distant cultures of Scandinavia and the Netherlands.The text focuses on the search for new and appropriate methods of learning as well as sharing competences as long-term objectives in the developmental process, as captured in the mirror of changing societal conditions during the century. The publication presents portraits of those scientific and pedagogical personalities directly or indirectly connected to Germanic Studies, such as the life and work of Professor Antonín Beer and his successors, the work of Professor Josef B. Michl who opened up perspectives toward the north, and the work of Emmy Máčelová which has had an influence on contemporary Dutch and which is firmly anchored in the European branch of the discipline. The photographs used in the publication document the activities of foreign lecturers and our contacts with outstanding experts from the world of Germanic Studies.

The monograph Josef Dobrovský. Hungarologist and Finno-Ugrist deals not only with the strictly philological aspects of the Hungarologic and Finno-Ugric research of the founder of modern Slavic and Bohemistic studies Josef Dobrovsky, but also with his relations to the Finno-Ugric peoples in general, that is to say, to their languages, history and culture. The author's starting point in his approach to Hungarology and Finno-Ugristics is a wider conception, based on the comprehensive culture, politics and history of the peoples in question. In contrast to an exclusively linguistic view, he sees in this branch of science a line of investigation that deals with the languages and with all other essential manifestations of the culture of the Finno-Ugric peoples alike, whether it be in reference to the Central European sphere only (Hungarology) or to the wider Eurasian area (Finno-Ugristics).

The post-accession migration amongst the Poles has constituted one of the most significant demographic processes in the country. Unfortunately, there are still too few works in the Polish Social Sciences on post-accession re-emigrants. The study considers the problem of return migration from the European Union countries to Poland and its socio-economic determinants, in the context of sociology of migration, sociology of work, demography and ethnicity, as well as the life-course perspective. The aim of the book is also to present a new typology of return migration.

The modern concept of “nature” appeared during the 17th Century: nature as a mechanical object to be submitted to reason man. A long tradition refers to the concept of nature in the Greek phusis. It is referring to a dynamic process that engages in criticizing the modern paradigm of nature as opposed to culture.As it is, the principle of the domination and exploitation by humans of what we consider as nature is at the heart of the ideological, economic and financial models imposed by neoliberal capitalism. Based on the objective of growth, this model shapes and destroys human communities as well as the environment on which they rely and sustain.The climatic urgency as well as the limited capacity of the resources of the earth, require a transition towards an ecosocialism for another world. The anthropological confrontation with the Greek phusis invites to a break with capitalism based on a large scale and speedy use of technologies and with the only objective of financial gain. The result has been destructive productivism. Instead, we have to take into account the complexity of and interactions between human societies and their technical practices in their environment. The survival of one or the other is at stake. In sum, nature is culture.

Dacă primele două numere ale revistei A Treia Europă au fost consacrate unor teme importante ale culturii central- -europene, începând cu numărul dublu 3-4 am introdus un alt criteriu de organizare a cercetărilor noastre, încercând să ne concentrăm analiza asupra literaturilor țărilor din regiune. Primul subiect al acestor investigații a fost Polonia, al cărei destin plin de dramatism și de tensiuni l-am socotit paradigmatic pentru înțelegerea întregii dinamici politice și culturale a zonei. O a doua etapă din acest vast program se realizează acum prin numărul consacrat Ungariei, mai precis dialogului dintre culturile română și maghiară. în anii următori revista noastră își va orienta atenția asupra celorlalte culturi din Europa Centrală. De ce Ungaria? în primul rând, datorită literaturii sale contemporane extrem de dinamică, foarte bine reprezentată din punct de vedere al traducerilor în cele mai importante limbi de circulație internațională, o literatură care își datorează vitalitatea talentului câtorva scriitori de mare calibru, din rândul cărora se detașează tripleta (atent investigată și în paginile revistei noastre) Esterhâzy-Konrâd-Nâdas. Apoi, contactelor directe dintre reprezentanții Fundației A Treia Europă și intelectuali maghiari de marcă ai momentului, care au culminat cu vizita la Timișoara a lui Konrâd György, președintele Academiei de Arte din Berlin. Rezultatul acestei întâlniri este un volum din seria „Seminar” în curs de apariție la Editura Polirom. întâlnirile unor grupuri de intelectuali români cu o parte a elitei intelectuale maghiare în cadrul unor colocvii organizate la Centrul Cultural Român din Budapesta din inițiativa directorului său, Anamaria Pop, parteneriatele academice ale Centrului de studii comparate central- și sud-est-europene al Fundației A Treia Europă cu Universitatea Eötvös Lorând din Budapesta și Universitatea din Szeged, colaborarea intensă și fructuoasă a revistei noastre profesori de literatură maghiară și comparată de la Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, dar și cu tinerii redactori ai revistei Korurik din Cluj au fost de natură să stimuleze conceperea și realizarea numărului de față. Nu în ultimul rând trebuie să evocăm o Timișoară a excepționalei relații româno-maghiare, exprimată de reviste trilingve (română-germană-maghiară), dar și de eminenți traducători, autentici mediatori între culturi, precum Franyo Zoltân, Aurel Buteanu, Andrei Lillin, Ion Stoia-Udrea ș.a. Mulțumirile noastre se îndreaptă spre toți cei care au fost alături de noi în acest efort : Anamaria Pop, Balâzs Imre-Jözsef, Horvath Andor, Farkas Jenö, Maria Pongrâcz-Popescu, revistele Observator cultural și Korunk. Nu în ultimul rând, mulțumim generoșilor finanțatori care au sprijinit realizarea programelor noastre de cercetare și de editare a revistei : Fundația Pro Helvetia și Fundația Culturală Europeană din Amsterdam.

The media in Greece and Turkey have played a crucial role in the political communication in their countries. Along with their main functions of monitoring the policies of the government on behalf of the public and providing news, the media in these two countries also served as key actors producing meanings through interpretative journalism. This study analyzes how Greek and Turkish newspapers’ columnists interpreted and framed military takeovers in their countries after the takeovers had happened. Refuting arguments in the literature asserting that Greek columnists kept their silence during the military regime due to censorship, while there was strong and open support in Turkey among newspaper columnists for the 12 September coup and the subsequent rule, this study argues that the situations in both countries were much more complex than these studies have claimed. It shows that important similarities existed between Greek and Turkish officers’ approach to the media in their countries during their respective periods of rule. In addition, Greek and Turkish columnists shared both similarities and differences in their framings and interpretations of the military’s takeover in their countries and the subsequent interregna.

The Katowice conurbation had taken shape beginning with the end of the 18th century in the borderlands of two states, Poland and Germany. In this sense, it was an area situated on the peripheries of both countries. Permanent and dynamic interactions between different national-ethnic groups resulted in cultural intermingling. Beginning with the middle of the 20th century, this complex settlement system was already at the centre of socio-economic development on a supra-regional scale. As a result of multidirectional migration, influenced by intensive industrialisation, social relations evolved between the migrants and the local (indigenous) population, as well as between the migrants themselves. The aim of this study is to analyse the early multicultural nature of selected cities in the Katowice conurbation against a methodological and terminological background and to indicate the extent to which this feature might be an asset in present-day socio-economic transformations in this area. The temporal and spatial overlapping of various origins of socio-cultural links and relations leads the author to formulate the concepts of cultural genotype and primary and secondary cultural genotype, and to exemplify the formation of cultural genotypes in the Katowice conurbation.

“In this book, we have named the phenomena neoreligion and reactivation. Neoreligion does not mean a change inside institutionalised religion, it does not correspond to some kind of dogmatic creative crisis, which would bring established religious groups to claim to create something new while only dusting out ancient components of their religion. It is not to confuse, either, with some kind of religious nostalgia, a desire to return to the origins or foundations of a religion. Such a dynamic can be observed with the born-again phenomena – obvious in the spheres of monotheistic religions – that is individual religious revivalism of people who are often searching for a supposedly original orthodoxy.Neoreligion, on the contrary, is the phenomenon where, outside existing religions, new religions are created, but not from nothing: they are reactivated in a new form. They take their roots – or at least claim to do so – in traditional or ancient beliefs and adopt some of the imagined traditional behaviours. The movement, therefore, is one of transformation, since it is a takeover of the old. But this change does not simply follow the logic of the old: there is also a dimension of novelty, of creation.This volume is dedicated to studying these phenomena: describing and analysing their various appearances, uncovering their logic and dynamics, shedding light on the motivations of followers, and discussing their consequences.”
