Архивистът като архитект и медиатор на колективната историческа памет

Author(s): Rusalena Pendzhekova-Hristeva / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article focuses on the contemporary mission of archivists as architects and mediators of the retrospective documentary memory of society. In this aspect, the stress is laid on the need to use more up-to-date and adequate from a scientific point of view terms in the disciplinary field of archivology, corresponding to the complicated nature of the documents in their capacity as historical sources. The author's thesis is that, in the process of filing, expertise and scientific and technical processing of the funds, before historians archivists consecutively pass through the following logical and interrelated stages: euristic, textological, hermenuetic, archaeographic and historiographic. Archival processes and activities implemented within the above-mentioned stages prove that it is precisely archivists who have the primary responsibility in the contemporary complicated world to be co-creators and translators of collective historical memory to ensure that will be an objective base for future search.

Stoljeća Kraljeve Sutjeske

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian

U Kraljevoj Sutjesci, stolnom mjestu bosanskih kraljeva i višestoljetnom staništu franjevaca, priređen je 17. i 18. listopada 2008. godine znanstveni skup “Stoljeća Kraljeve Sutjeske”. Vanjski povod bila je stota obljetnica izgradnje samostanske i župne crkve po projektu arhitekta Josipa Vancaša (1908). Ta se okolnost pokazala pogodnom prilikom za inventuru višestoljetne povijesti katolika i franjevaca sutješkoga kraja, počevši od vremena bosanske samostalnosti, preko višestoljetne vladavine Osmanlija, austro-ugarskog razdoblja – sve do najnovijeg vremena. Franjevci su u Kraljevoj Sutjesci trajno prisutni već sedam stoljeća. Djelovali su kao duhovnici, pisci, propovjednici, kroničari / svjedoci svoga doba, prosvjetitelji, liječnici, politički zastupnici katolika… Mijenjali su se gospodari, nailazili i prolazili osvajači, rušitelji i pljačkaši – samostan je živio svoje uspone i padove, procvate duhovnog i kulturnog rada i sušna vremena pukog preživljavanja, ali je, svemu usprkos, opstao! Osnovan je u prvoj polovici 14. stoljeća, razoren 1524, izgorio 1658, iznova izgrađen 1664, neko vrijeme prisilno napušten koncem 17. stoljeća, obnovljen 1821, dograđen 1833, i konačno sagrađen sadašnji 1892. godine. O njegovoj sedamstoljetnoj povijesti svjedoče kronike i drugi zapisi, knjižnica i arhiv, predmeti i djela primijenjene i likovne umjetnosti i sl. Blok tema o srednjovjekovlju posvećen je vladarskim ispravama izdanim u Sutjesci i na Bobovcu, njihovim jezičnim osobitostima, proglašenju Bosne kraljevstvom, stećcima sačuvanim u sutješkom kraju, slici uskrslog Krista i kralja Stjepana Tomaša, te vezama Bosne i Dubrovnika. U stoljećima osmanske vladavine, Kraljeva Sutjeska više nije imala ono političko značenje kao u vrijeme bosanske državne samostalnosti. Prestala je biti kraljevsko rezidencijalno sjedište, ali je ostala duhovno središte katolika i jedna od najvažnijih pastoralnih i kulturnih destinacija bosanskih franjevaca, a danas mjesto gdje su se ponajbolje sačuvali tragovi njihove višestoljetne prisutnosti. Stoga je niz referata posvećen kulturnom djelovanju bosanskih franjevaca, prije svega pisanoj riječi: ljetopisu sutješkoga samostana, latinskom pjesništvu, spisateljskim djelima nastalim u Sutjesci, ali također i prosvjetnom i školskom radu franjevaca u puku, uvjetima življenja pod osmanskom vlašću, kao i demografskoj slici katolika Sutjeske i okolice. Uz spomenuto, tematizirana su pitanja Bosne kao političke kategorije, karaktera i dometa crkvenog graditeljstva, tradicijskog nakita Hrvata sutješkoga kraja, jezična praksa franjevaca, ratna vremena…

Ameryka i polski socrealizm, czyli coca‑cola czy cukier trzcinowy

Author(s): Magdalena Piekara / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In Polish socialist realistic journalism and prose, the image of North America is an extremely important element, which is often used as an ideological tool. Vivid images (including those most popular: potato beetle or Coca Cola) in the world divided after World War II are supposed to convince the readers that the United States are a great and ominous power, a superpower built on the exploitation of the working class and becoming rich at the expense of other countries, as well as the willingness to start another global war — a country that strives to destroy peace and communism. These images, already interpreted many times, become an interesting starting point for the description of the specific exoticism of America, completely unknown and unapproachable in Europe, hidden behind the Iron Curtain (although this term is much younger, it perfectly describes the global power structure).South America, on the other hand, remains completely unknown to Polish literary critics andjournalists. It shall remain so, even though the novels of the Brazilian writer, Jorge Amado, have been published in Poland quite often.

Tworzenie quasi‑średniowiecznego świata w cyklu Pieśń lodu i ognia G.R.R. Martina

Author(s): Michał Sapalski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This paper aims at analysing the creation of the world in A Song of Ice and Fire, which combines together fantastic elements with the ones imitating the medieval reality and results in such a convincing work that an impression of reading a historical novel is created. In order to do so, the article identifies such aspects recurring within the series as the deconstruction of chivalric ideals and the historical, cultural, and even geographical analogies between the British Isles and the fictional world of Westeros. Moreover, the paper critically investigates the manner in which Martin provides his readers with information concerning the history of the fictional continent. As it turns out, he simultaneously embeds his work in the events and phenomena from the past which are not necessarily known to the average reader, and seeks inspiration in the popular image of the Middle Ages, rather than its actual shape, as reconstructed by numerous scholars.

The Monster outside and the one within: the departure from the Tolkienesque concept of monstrosity in the books of G.R.R. Martin

Author(s): Miła Irek / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

There is no doubt about the impact of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien on the fantasy genre, and since G.R.R. Martin is often referred to as the new – or American – Tolkien, comparative studies are practically inevitable. Both authors created great epics set firmly within their own secondary worlds. Tolkien famously proclaimed that he was creating a mythology for England, while Martin affirms his strong inspirations in historical fiction and history in general. Both Arda and Westeros are set in a pseudomedieval fantasy universe, inhabited by various creatures and monsters. Yet, are those monsters the same? For Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring is essentially only one small tale in a wider, more relevant story of the world as a whole. As such, not only the characters or the protagonists, but also the monsters are all merely a small part of a larger picture; they are products of the ever changing wheel of time. In contrast, Martin’s Westeros feels like a mere backdrop for the real stories: the intimate affairs of the numerous complex characters. The monsters, therefore, are also more personal, internal, and harder to find and distinguish from the heroes.

Pikareska a tendencje demitologizujące w Pieśni lodu i ognia

Author(s): Daria Swędzioł / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This paper aims at identifying the demythologising tendencies present in A Song of Ice and Fire. Moreover, it points to the discussion with the heroic myth, which in the case of the fantasy genre Martin contributes to happens to be bounded with the chivalry. The model of a picaresque novel is employed on account of the pseudo-medieval embedment of the depicted world and the wide exposition of the themes of the road. Speaking from the perspective of genre criticism, this generic form appears to be a response to the idealism emanating from the chivalric romances. When the picaresque – understood as a polemical means opposing to the classic fantasy works rooted in the mythological context (for instance, The Lord of the Rings) – is concerned, Arya Stark demands a greater attention. The strategy adopted by Martin corresponds to Bogdan Trocha’s thesis concerning the degradation of a myth in fantasy literature. Simultaneously, it is one of the numerous tendencies popular among the contemporary texts of culture, dismantling the generic indicators and playing with literary conventions.

Břeclav – Pohansko VII.: Kostelní pohřebiště na Severovýchodním předhradí

Author(s): Jiři Macháček,Petr Dresler,Renáta Prichystalová,Vladimír Sládek / Language(s): Czech

The excavation of the church cemetery in the north-eastern suburb at Pohansko near Břeclav took place between 2008 and 2012 as part of long-term systematic research into the site which is considered to be on a par with the most important centres of Great Moravia. The field work followed after the unexpected and surprising discovery of an early medieval rotunda which is the second religious structure to be uncovered at Pohansko (Macháček – Balcárková – Čáp et al. 2014). The new research activities in the north-eastern suburb can be divided into three main excavation areas – the Great Moravian rotunda, the church cemetery and the adjoining residential and/or production precinct of the whole settlement area. So far, the greatest attention has been paid to the church which, after the quarter of a century that has passed since the last similar find, augmented the unique and historically valuable group ofthe earliest religious and stone-wall architecture within the territory of the Czech Republic. The discovery has been comprehensively covered by a number of dedicated studies (Čáp – Dresler – Macháček et al. 2010; Macháček 2011; Macháček – Balcárková – Čáp et al. 2014). The excavation of the settlement related to the church has not yet been completed and as such is only marginally mentioned in this monograph. The main focus is aimed at the cemetery where excavation work finished in 2012. The necropolis falls within the category of church cemeteries as defined by Bořivoj Dostál (Dostál 1966, 15–17), and thus belongs to the group of the most valuable funeral heritage monuments from the period of Great Moravia. Its publication signifies the end of the second stage of the most recent archaeological research in the north-eastern suburb at Pohansko.

Systematyczny przegląd literatury w naukach ekonomicznych. Metodyka, przykłady

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

W polskim piśmiennictwie naukowym systematyczne przeglądy literatury są wciąż nową, nieznaną formą eksploracji wątków tematycznych. W światowej nauce odchodzi się od narracyjnych przeglądów literatury na rzecz analiz usystematyzowanych, replikowalnych i w rezultacie jasno ukazujących to, co warto badać, gdyż zawiera potencjalnie dużą wartość naukową. Książka jest jedną z nielicznych (a pierwszą, która przedstawia liczne przykłady zastosowania omawianej tematyki w naukach ekonomicznych, i to w tak szerokim ujęciu) na polskim rynku pracą obrazującą, na czym polega systematyczny przegląd literatury, w tym analiza bibliometryczna. Pokazuje, do czego takie przeglądy prowadzą: jak przekonująco (bo transparentnie, przy podaniu powtarzalnej metody) pozwalają wyłonić z naukowego gąszczu piśmienniczego te wątki, które warto badać przy wykorzystaniu określonych teorii i metod oraz jakie pytania lub hipotezy badawcze są warte dalszego dociekania. Książka jest adresowana do młodszych naukowców (doktorantów, doktorów) i osób aspirujących do zostania akademikami. Może być też pomocna w pisaniu prac magisterskich w częściach poświęconych przeglądowi literatury naukowej.

Global Atlas of Refugees and Asylum Seekers

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Dive into the intricate and globally significant topic of asylum and refugees with the “Global Atlas of Refugees and Asylum Seekers.” This compelling collection of essays, curated by a diverse group of renowned scholars, offers an extensive exploration of migration patterns, paradigms, and lessons from around the world. As you journey through the chapters, you’ll gain unique insights into how countries have responded to the unprecedented refugee crisis, examining notable cases such as Costa Rica, the United States, Canada, Chile, Mexico, and many more. Discover the complexities of asylum systems and the changing landscapes of migration policies in nations as diverse as Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, Greece, Sweden, Spain, and North Macedonia. Delve into the geopolitical implications of seeking refuge and asylum, with a comprehensive analysis of the Palestinian diaspora and an exploration of Pakistan, India, Turkey, and the communitarian-based strategy in refugee laws.This essential compendium provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics and global challenges surrounding asylum and refugees. With its diverse range of topics and expert contributors, the “Global Atlas of Refugees and Asylum Seekers” is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the complexities of global migration and the policies that shape the lives of those seeking refuge.“The authors of this book identify two main paradigms shaping states’ narratives regarding asylum seekers and refugees. Along the horizontal axis, discourses range from national security to humanitarian aid. On the vertical axis, they extend from the pursuit of ideals, as traditionally defined for refugees and asylum seekers, to personal survival due to economic, climate-related crises, family violence, gender violence, or organized crime. This shift, as highlighted in the chapter on Germany by Professor Knerr, is altering the original vision of agreements that stemmed from post-World War II Europe.Finally, the rise of populist and authoritarian states in Latin America, which cannot be solely explained by repressive authoritarianism but rather create conditions of difficult survival for their nationals, is exerting additional pressures. Additionally, religiously motivated civil wars, such as those in Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria, pose complex challenges. Should countries reconsider the principles on which they are acting?Less obvious is the role of migration and refugee policies in influencing asylum seekers’ choice of their future destination. Many authors mention support networks and family ties as factors influencing refugees and asylum seekers’ decisions to leave their countries and select their destination. However, it remains unclear whether these networks operate in the same capacity as support networks for irregular migrants. Many chapters raise issues that have received little attention, primarily because of the focus on refugees and asylum seekers as agents. These issues include the reasons prompting the decision to leave one’s country of origin, who must leave, the influence of family or social support networks on this decision, their role in selecting possible settlement locations, and the role of civil society organizations in supporting and guiding these decisions. This is especially crucial considering that unaccompanied children represent 30-35% of asylum applicants. The chapters in this Global Atlas provide an overview of refugee and asylum regimes to enhance understanding and better plan for the ongoing and future challenges of human mobility.”

Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture and Arts

Author(s): / Language(s): English

“Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture, and Arts” explores the tapestry of violence across diverse forms of artistic expression, expertly edited by Sümeyra Buran, Mahinur Akşehir, Neslihan Köroğlu, and Barış Ağır. From the gripping introduction to the thought-provoking chapters contributed by an array of scholars, this collection navigates the multifaceted dimensions of violence. Muhsin Yanar’s exploration of Don DeLillo’s work calls for a posthumanist stance against violence, while Begüm Tuğlu Atamer questions the justification of violence in Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus.” The anthology expands its reach, examining slow violence in John Burnside’s “Glister” (Derya Biderci Dinç), portraying environmental violence in Bilge Karasu’s “Hurt Me Not” (Özlem Akyol), and unraveling psychological violence in Kate Chopin’s stories (Senem Üstün Kaya). Contributors delve into theatre violence (Gamze Şentürk Tatar), indigenous struggles against violence in Cheran, Mexico (Kristy L. Masten), Robert Browning’s “Porphyria’s Lover” (Derya Oruç) and the complex interplay of power in Anthony Burgess’s “A Clockwork Orange” (Şebnem Düzgün). The anthology also explores the contested space of the Black queer body (Taylor Ajowele Duckett), Nietzschean aggression (Yunus Tuncel), and various forms of violence in Giovanni Verga’s short stories (Simone Pettine). “Shades of Violence” emerges as an indispensable exploration of violence’s nuanced manifestations, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding through its diverse and insightful perspectives.

A Century of Greek–Turkish Relations – A Handbook

Author(s): / Language(s): English

“A Century of Greek-Turkish Relations is an important handbook written by leading authorities from both shores of the Aegean Sea. Greek and Turkish scholars present in a balanced and objective way, as well as in a graspable and meaningful manner, the main periods in which key events brought the two sides into dispute or even conflict. These events, which are integrated in parallel and conflicting national narratives, fuel the historicity of the two national rivals. A century since the end of the Greek-Turkish war, the trauma of the Greek military defeat and the “disaster of the Asia Minor Greeks”, the establishment of the Republic of Turkey and the emblematic Treaty of Lausanne, render this kind of handbook undoubtedly essential. It opens the discussion to the wider audience in a rational and composed way and most importantly, the reader can follow through the pages, the dialogue between Turkish and Greek scholars. A book of this kind was missing from public history.” – Prof. Sia Anagnostopoulou, Panteion University“As an expert on the subject of “minorities” for the past fifty years with a number of publications in Turkish, English, and French, and based on the experts that are participating in the A Century of Greek-Turkish Relations: A Handbook, there is no doubt that this will become an indispensable tool, and above all, an objective account of the Greek-Turkish relations for both experts and the wider public.” – Prof. (emeritus) Baskin Oran, Ankara University“As editors of this important and timely book, Nikos Christofis and Anthony Deriziotis assert that uneducated narratives have perpetuated misunderstandings within Turkish-Greek relations. In their enlightening work, they dismantle these misconceptions, offering a nuanced exploration of the historical and contemporary complexities between the two nations. By featuring insights from leading experts, this book provides a crucial resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Turkish-Greek relations, presenting new historical insights and analytical viewpoints on bilateral relations.” – Prof. Evren Balta, Özyeğin University“A comprehensive and insightful survey of Greek-Turkish relations. A number of distinguished academics have offered their expertise succeeding in the formidable task of touching upon several sensitive issues avoiding stereotypes and easy readings of problems that are burdened by history. A must read for students and experts alike.” – Prof. Sotiris Roussos, University of Peloponnese

Węgiel. Natura i kultura

Author(s): Ralph Crane / Language(s): Polish

While concerns about climate change have focused negative attention on the coal industry in recent years, as descendants of the Industrial Revolution we have all benefited from the mining of the black seam. Coal has influenced significantly the course of human history and our social and natural environments. This book explores coal’s industrial history and the extraordinary artistic responses to coal – in the works of numerous writers, including Zola, Lawrence and Orwell, to the way it inspired painters such as Turner, Monet and Van Gogh, and its place in film, song and folklore – as well as the surprising allure of coal tourism. This strikingly illustrated book provides an engaging and informative insight into the myriad ways coal has affected our lives.
