Editors’ Note

Author(s): / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Welcome to our spring 2021 issue of The Agonist: “The Antichrist.” We would like to thank all of our contributing writers and dedicated editorial team. We would also like to express our enormous gratitude to our new publishers, Ibrahim Sirkeci and the Transnational Press London. We look forward to working with you! In this issue our writers present four essays that once again rethink our relationship with Nietzsche’s controversial, later writings. Robert Malka explores the ways in which a story can find its basis in both the self and the world in Nietzsche's works. Gary Shapiro reimagines Nietzsche as a proto-ecologist or prophet of environmentalism. Bradley Kaye mines the strange affinities between Nietzsche and Pelagianism. And finally, Thomas Steinbuch treats us to “Cursing the Curse: Nietzsche on the Machiavellianism of Pity” in the early sections of The Antichrist.

Editorial for the Special Issue on Migration, Education, and Youth

Author(s): / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Youth studies is a growing area within migration scholarship. It is evident that migration of children, unaccompanied children and children within refugee flows are significantly higher than general migration flows. We have evidence of this, for example, in the case of Syrian exodus since the outbreak of civil war in the country in 2011 (Yazgan et al., 2015). Kulu-Glasgow et al. (2019), Vila Freyer & Özerim (2020), and Vila Freyer and Meza Gonzalez (2021) are the recent collections of studies on youth in migration published by Transnational Press London alone. In the last couple of years, hundreds of articles and book chapters on youth migration have been published elsewhere. The Migration Conferences, Migration Letters proudly supports, have offered a venue for discussions on the topic since the beginning in 2011, and it has included a special track on youth migration to foster research in this particular topic.

Síťová analýza v právu: Síťové metody a jejich využití pro získávání a vyhledávání právních informací

Author(s): Tereza Novotná / Language(s): Czech Issue: 24/2021

This article aims to provide an overview of the use of network analysis methods in law and to discuss the use of these methods for legal information retrieval. For this purpose, it contains the theoretical basis for the functioning of network analysis, but the focus of the article lies more in the categorization of ways of using this method in the application to legal sources. The purpose of the overview is to emphasize the differences of this method from other statistical methods and especially to highlight its advantages. Based on these conclusions, the author discusses the suitability of using network methods for easier and more generally accessible legal information retrieval and suggests some specific methods of how network analysis could help in working with legal information.

We live in an era of intense turbulence of much disenchantment and bewilderment. Geopolitical tensions are deepening and are transforming international relations. Political tribalism is revealing deep divisions between nations and the political and economic failures of countries are causing mass exoduses from Belarus, Libya, Afghanistan or Venezuela to name a few. The pandemic caused by the SARS-COV2 virus has accentuated these changes, as expressed in the latest Oxfam report (2021) calling it the virus of inequality, where more than 2 million people have lost their lives and hundreds of millions have fallen into poverty, while most of the world's richest people and companies remain the richest on the planet. Their multimillion-dollar wealth has returned to pre-pandemic levels in just nine months, while for the poorest it could take more than a decade to emerge from the impacts of the pandemic (Berkhout, Galasso, Lawson, Rivero Morales & Taneja, 2022).

Nadzorcy nad aktami oraz archiwiści w grodach Korony w okresie XV–XVIII w. Zarys problemu

Author(s): Janusz Łosowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 122/2021

W literaturze naukowej nie było opracowania o charakterze syntetycznym, które ukazałoby proces ewolucji w zakresie opieki nad aktami grodzkimi, dlatego artykuł ten wypełnia istniejącą lukę. Ukazano w nim proces stop¬niowego powierzania obowiązków związanych z zabezpieczeniem akt grodzkich różnym urzędnikom, który w końcu doprowadził do powołania w jednym z urzędów grodzkich (chełmskim) stanowiska archiwisty. Zakoń¬czyło to w tym grodzie proces wyodrębniania się archiwum z kancelarii grodzkiej. Był to ważny fakt zarówno w dziejach polskich instytucji sądo¬wych okresu staropolskiego, jak i archiwów. W innych urzędach grodzkich formalne wydzielenie archiwów nie nastąpiło, prawdopodobnie ze względu na rychły upadek Rzeczypospolitej. W artykule szczegółowo opisano etapy przekazywania kompetencji archiwalnych na różnych urzędników kance-laryjnych, wykorzystując informacje zawarte w dotychczasowych publika¬cjach oraz nieuwzględnionych do tej pory źródłach. [In the academic literature so far there was no synthetic study presenting evolutionary processes in the field of custody of municipal records, therefore this article aims to fill this gap. It shows the process of gradual delegation of responsibilities concerning safekeeping of town records to various officials, which finally led to establishing the position of an archivist in one of the municipal offices (in Chełm). This ended the process of separation of the archive from the municipal office. This was an important fact in the history of both Polish judicial institutions of the Old Polish period and archives as such. In other municipal offices, a formal separation of archives did not occur, probably due to the imminent collapse of Polish state. This article describes in detail the phases of passing the archival competences to various office clerks, using the information contained in previous publications and sources not covered so far.]

EDUCATIE, PRESĂ, LITERATURĂ ÎN BUCOVINA ÎNTRE ANII 1775 ȘI 1848 (I)

Author(s): Elena Pascaniuc / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2021

Starting from the historical realities that made possible the appearance of the Duchy of Bukovina on the map of the Habsburg Empire and considering as temporal limits the transformations caused by the new administration in 1775 and 1848, the author tries to present in this article some of the reforms generating new attitudes and mentalities in society, promoted by the Court of Vienna in the smallest province of the empire: links built over time between several cultural-creating institutions, such as school, press, literature; relations between these institutions and their beneficiaries; their importance in the emergence of national consciousness at first and, later, of aesthetic consciousness to writers who could assert themselves beyond the borders of Bukovina, in the wider Romanian space.

Editorial

Author(s): / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Remittances are the funds transferred from migrants to their homes and home countries. They are the private savings of workers and families that are spent on food and clothing among other things, and at a macro-level, they are often critical to a nation’s overall financial health. While remittances can be much more, much of our discussion of the macro-level impacts of remittances are framed around discussion of develop and dependency and note how states use (or misuse) remittances as well as the critical role remittances play as measured against international aid. These discussions will often and inevitably hinge on the positive outcomes that lead to development (whether at the level of the household, community and/or state) or the negative impacts of remittance activity that drives increasing dependency. In this issue of Remittances Review, our authors push beyond the development/dependency debate and explore a series of often unasked questions that capture the dynamic outcomes (and surprises) that are central to remittances practices and critical to the growth and maturity of theory and analysis.

Living in “Smart Cities and Green World”

Author(s): Miranda Harizaj,Arjela NDREU / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2022

Every day we face fast development and technology appliance in each field of industry and our everyday life, with the focus of maximization of its service to people. Therefore, a special importance has been particularly given to the construction of "smart cities". This paper will support the idea of creating and usage a network that connects all the key points of human activities as the basis of a "smart" city, focusing on renewable energy, specifically solar one, to carry out these activities that a person performs throughout a full day. We are based on two features, "smart" and "green", which will include the electricity supply of the apartment and coverage of any of its indoor activities, street lighting, charging of electric cars and education on reducing pollution levels on nature.First of all, we will focus on presenting all the elements of this network, whose basis are photovoltaic modules, then we will introduce the creation of photovoltaic plants based on respective standards for their resistance to wind, with materials that do not pierce existing buildings and do not pollute the environment. Last but not least, based on the evaluation of collected results we recommend the effective ways of using photovoltaic systems in open spaces. We can mention lots of benefits by living in smart cities and green world, but most important would be the fact that we are going eco-friendly for the environment and creating economic development and jobs in ICT technology and other engineering fields. So, it’s obvious as it implicates and affects the whole society and it is a productive and green way to smart the living in a safe and green world.

„Cóż można by więcej wyszperać?” Józef Pilch jako użytkownik, twórca i krytyk archiwum

Author(s): Katarzyna Szkaradnik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1 (19)/2022

Katarzyna Szkaradnik’s article is devoted to the archival work of Józef Pilch, a well-known Silesian bibliophile, diarist, biographer and cultural activist from Ustroń, who, above all, was also an amateur historian researching and popularizing the history of Cieszyn Silesia. Drawing on the typology of Uriel Orlow – who divided artists interested in real and metaphorical archives into archive users, archive makers and archive thinkers – Szkaradnik examines Pilch’s activity as a user, creator, and critic of the archive. A self-taught peasant, Pilch not only used materials collected in archives and scientific libraries to shape the historical awareness of the local community with his studies, but also created his own archives. This is how we can interpret the fact that he collected (with a view to creating a dictionary) his collection of expressions of the local dialect, a rich library containing many unique publications and documents, as well as his diary and correspondence preserved in his home archive. Moreover, Pilch reflected critically on the archive as an instrument of power, as evidenced by his publications on the PPS-WRN (Polish Socialist Party – Freedom, Equality, Independence) and the history of the Jewish population in Ustroń.

THE URBAN NETWORK OF RÜŞDIYYES IN THE BALKANS AND IN ANATOLIA IN THE 1840S – 1870S

Author(s): Margarita Dobreva / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2022

Following the establishment of the first rüşdiyyes in Istanbul in 1847, the Council of Education launched an active policy of spreading their network in the entire territory of the Ottoman Empire. Exploring the process, the article pays attention to the edifices that housed them and the attempts to coeducate Muslims and Non-Muslims. Although its initial endeavors failed, the Council of Education did not hesitate and took every opportunity to promote the rüşdiyyes. The growth of the network was influenced by positive and negative factors, natural disasters and political events. The most important problem that slowed down its development was the difficulty to provide quickly an adequate building. Nevertheless, by January 1876 there was a rüşdiyye in almost two-thirds of all Ottoman administrative centres. Nowadays many of the rüşdiyye edifices have been demolished while modernizing the urban environment. The article is based on documents and newspapers kept in the Sts Cyril and Methodius National Library of Bulgaria, the Istanbul Ottoman Archive, the Library of the Turkish Historical Society, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Taksim Atatürk Library, and the Library of the Turkiye Diyanet Foundation Centre for Islamic Studies.
