Рецензия на книгата „Между миграция и уседналост: Екзотичният друг и новото българско кино (към културологичните полета на идентичността, различието и дискурса свой/чужд)“

Author(s): Peter Ayolov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 11/2022

The book by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Andronika Martonova is another contribution to the study of cinematography in Bulgaria. Author of numerous articles in the most popular Bulgarian media, the author presents a complete text of 200 pages, in which she masterfully traces the thread of otherness and alienation in the new Bulgarian cinema. The book is part of the project “Post-totalitarian Bulgarian cinema - models and identities” and manages to outline the contours of a bridge in the transition in Bulgarian cinema between the two eras. Cinema before the changes also had its hits in describing otherness, as most of the films are described accurately in the introduction. The book traces the search for a new Bulgarian identity as a theme for the new Bulgarian cinema.

Сравнительный анализ старообрядчества в Болгарии и Китае

Author(s): Chunlei Guo / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2022

From the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the Old Belief moved to Bulgaria in three periods from the western border of Russia and the Don valley. From the beginning of the 19th century to the 1930s, the Old Belief moved from the Altai Mountains in Siberia to Northwestern China in two periods and from Transbaikalia and the south of the Far East to Northeastern China in three periods. The Old Believers were still active and participated in the modernization of Bulgaria and China in the fields of economy, politics, ethnicity, religion and culture. The article compares and studies the process of modernization of the Old Belief in the two countries, and also summarizes two kinds of experience of Bulgaria and China in their modernization construction. Firstly, the policy of modernization should be based on objective reality, the wishes of ordinary workers should be respected and their subjective initiative can be fully motivated. Secondly, the relevant departments can focus on the coordinated development of all sectors of society, and strive to upgrade the society as a whole to a state of modern development. The article makes a suggestion for the study of the modernization theory. Modernization is a historical process of following the past and heralding the future, while basing itself on reality and looking to the future. It should also review the past appropriately and look for positive factors that can promote the healthy development of human society.

Град Червен през ранните векове на османското владичество

Author(s): Stojan Jordanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/1999

The town of Cherven was one of the important administrative, cultural and ecclesiastical centers during the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. The written information, which is very scarce, and the archeological studies show that the conditions created during the early centuries of Ottoman domination, a chiefly the destructive consequences of the aggressive campaign of Ali Pasha in 1388 caused the decline of Cherven. Despite the attempts to preserve some of its basic functions, the new realities affected the vitality of the town. The development and rise of the nearby town of Rousse which Cherven could not oppose, had a devastating effect. Thus in the 17th c. the town of Cherven turned into a small village. Notwithstanding the irreversible decline of the town of Cherven, it contributed to preserving the chiefly Bulgarian character of the majority of the settlements in the valley of the Roussenski Lom river.

Кръстоносната идея – памет и реалност

Author(s): Raya Zaimova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3-4/1998

The peculiar interpretation in French literature of the subject of the “Crusades”, made by politicians and men of letters after the formation of the Ottoman Empire, is examined. Born in the Middle Ages, the so-called “crusades idea” was transformed in time according to the actual political situations. It retained its external form, went through internal metamorphoses and in the 18th c. grew into the so-called “Eastern Question”. On the other hand, at the same time French historiography of the 16th – 18th c., written by armchair men of letters, reflected a bygone age – a dream which the thinking of the Enlightenment fully destroyed. In the 19th c. the deposits of the two currents led to the publication of series of mediaeval French and other chronicles the interpretation of which rested at the foundation of positivism in science.

Four-Meter Phrases in Middle Byzantine Chant (I)

Author(s): Ierodiacon Avraam Bugu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The purpose of this article is to bring evidence that Old Byzantine Chant – like other music genres and according to a general metric principle observed by the majority of music theorists (up to the beginning of the 20th century) – is metrically structured, usually in cycling phrases of four Common Time measures. This metrical principle could be a key for understanding and deciphering the old neumatic notation.

The Kastoria 8 Asmatikon – A Middle Byzantine Enigma

Author(s): Gregory Myers / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Since its discovery in 1965, the 14th-century Kastoria 8 Asmatikon has attracted scholarly attention. Distinguished by its two rows of neumes: a row of Middle Byzantine signs overlaid by a system of great hyperstases, its existence suggests that it bridges stages of notational development and chanting practices from an earlier period. Particularly noteworthy, its system of large signs could also provide a key to the Palaeoslavonic kondakarian musical notation which disappeared earlier in the 13th century.

Министерската отговорност по Търновската конституция и по конституционните проекти (1879–1947)

Author(s): Yordanka Gesheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/1997

The question of the political and judicial responsibility of ministers was included already in the Turnovo Constitution with the clear awareness of its necessity and from then on it existed in all the drafts and proposals for changes in the fundamental law up to 1947 inclusive. After that public opinion was deliberately diverted in another direction in the search of guilt so that in the last two constitutions (of 1971 and 1991) the responsibility of ministers was tacitly overlooked, and in the Criminal Code the ministers were put on the same footing with officials. The article examines the nature of political responsibility and also the question of judicial responsibility – how it is proceeded, who has the initiative for seeking judicial responsibility, who tries the ministers and what are the possibilities for imposing effective punishment. The constitution drafts of 1935, 1936, 1946 and 1947 are presented and their common features and differences are indicated. From the presented constitutions and constitution drafts it is evident that as regards the political (parliamentary) and criminal (judicial) responsibility of the ministers, the differences between them are neither so numerous nor so essential. The goal of the Bulgarian legislators over a long period of time was to create such constitutional provisions as would have a really restrictive effect on the work of ministers. Although every minister and every cabinet strive to ensure independence in taking decisions and in implementing the comprehensive policy of the government, it should be known also that the responsibility is exclusively of the Council of Ministers. Moreover – all action or inactions of the Cabinet are under the strict control of the legislative power. For any act, for any deed, the minister or the whole cabinet bear political and in certain cases criminal responsibility as wee. It is Parliament that supervises and controls their actions. In the constitutions and draft constitutions existing up to 1947 serious attention was paid to parliamentary responsibility. This was so because it was believed that if the National Assembly acted without allowing gross political passions get the upper hand (irrespective of whether it accused or justified the ministers) the possibility to commit a crime was strongly restricted. The controlling function of the National Assembly was therefore of particular importance also for the upward development of socio-political life and for the conformity with the law of the policy of the government. Unfortunately, both in the older and in the more recent history and also in our contemporary history Parliament and with it the governments, have often fallen prey to their own unrealistic political ambitions.

За ранната стопанска дейност на възрожденския предприемач Евстати Селвели и за неговото материално и финансово състояние през този период

Author(s): Veselin Goranchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2022

The publication is aimed at clarifying a hitherto unexplored topic, namely the early business activity of Evstati Selveli. By the term “early business activity” the author of the study means the period before the establishment of a joint partnership between Evstati Seleveli and hadji Mincho hadji Tsachev in 1841. The publication also provides information about the earliest, known at least for now, partners of Evstati Selveli – Evstati Andrea and Atanas hadji Nikolau (Nikolov). Information on these issues is derived from unknown and hitherto untranslated Greek-language documents. A certain exception are the cited in the study kondika of the Hellenic school in Tarnovo, read and translated by Vladimir Vladov and codes of the Holy Metropolis of Tarnovo, which are annotated and retold by Acad. Ivan Snegarov. So far, several authors have written about the origin and family environment of Atanas hadji Nikolau. The most complete, in this aspect, is the study of Elena Statelova which is dedicated to the history of the Panitsa family. Unfortunately, it is not known, at least to the author of the publication, if any of the researchers have found that this particular ancestor of the Panitsa family (his heirs adopted the surname Panitsa around 1879) was one of the earliest partners in the business of Evstati Selveli.

Plague in Early Modern Istanbul: The Experience of the Habsburg Resident Ambassadors, 1560s – 1590s

Author(s): Aneliya Stoyanova / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The Black Death from the mid-14th century initiated a long series of recurrences of the disease with significant effects on the affected human societies. The current article explores the awareness of the plague epidemics and the experiences made by the Habsburg diplomatic representatives in Istanbul from the mid-1560s to the early 1590s. In the early modern Ottoman empire plague was a persistent and disturbing part of life, recurring at unpredictable intervals and affecting all levels of society. The studied correspondences demonstrate the common measures the diplomats took to protect themselves and their servants in times of plague outbreaks. The letters contain sporadic descriptions of various diseases. Besides the recurring plague epidemics, the diplomats mention and describe other illnesses which also caused fevers and were recognized as highly contagious but seem to be distinguished from the plague. The epidemiological experience of the residents in Istanbul is worthy of scholarly attention since the disease descriptions preserved in diplomatic letters could play a supplementary role in the establishment of a detailed plague chronology of the Ottoman capital.

Съдбата на здравната реформа в Съединените щати през 40-те години на ХХ век

Author(s): Ivana Nikolova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2022

The article focuses on the attempts at healthcare reform by the Truman administration alongside the liberal wing of the Democratic party in the 1940s. The proposals of both the White House and different groups of congressmen are laid out in detail. The main reasons for the failure of healthcare reform, as proposed by the author, are the lack of coordination among the Democrats supporting healthcare reform, Truman’s poor influence on Congress, and the role some key professional organizations play in weakening public support for the administration’s initiatives.

Външнополитически аспекти на българския национален въпрос (1878–1912) в либералната историография (1878–1944)

Author(s): Roumyana Choukova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/1996

The problems of the foreign policy aspects of the Bulgarian national question (1878-1912) is one of the leading subjects in liberal historiography of the period 1878-1944. Formed under the influence of the European liberalism and historical positivism of the late 19th and early 20th c., Bulgarian historiography was distinguished by thematic variety, interdisciplinary approach, high theoretical and methodical standards and national loyalty. In the spirit of liberal positivism historians analysed the Bulgarian Question within the context of the geostrategic interests of the Great Powers in the Balkans (as part of the Eastern Question). The historical writings objectively reflected the tendencies in Bulgarian foreign policy: 1. Satellitism which was a common "complex" of the small Balkan states; 2. The striving for independent foreign policy, realized to a certain extent during Stefan Stambolov’s cabinets. A number of authors advanced the thesis that the genesis of the foreign policy conflicts in the European South-East was expressed in the confrontation of the European nationalist conceptions: Pan-Germanism, Pan-Slavism, Pan-Turkism, British and French neo-colonialism. The active interference of the Balkan nationalist conceptions found practical realization in the clashes between the armed and cultural-religious propagandas.

Interlinguistische und interdiskursive Kontrastivitat am Beispiel der linguistischen Forschung zum Migrationsdiskurs in Polen und in Deutschland

Author(s): Marta Smykała / Language(s): German Issue: 10/2022

The present paper focuses on the desideratum of interlinguistic and interdiscursive contrastivity, delineated by Zofia Bilut-Homplewicz in 2013. Both types of contrastivity are presented with reference to linguistic research on the migration discourse in Poland and Germany. As a starting point, the author outlines interlinguistic and interdiscursive contrastivity. What follows is a comprehensive account of the comparative variables such as ≫migration, migration discourse, linguistic research on migration discourse≪ – each of which is discussed in relation to Poland, Germany or Germanspeaking countries and the Polish and German research. Within the framework of an interdiscursive and interlinguistic comparison, the focus of attention is particularly on the concept of topos and its operationalisation in both research areas.

Представата за „другия“ на Балканите: образът на гърка в българската книжнина – XV – средата на ХIХ век

Author(s): Nadya Danova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/1993

The study follows up the evolution of the image of the Greek as reflected in Bulgarian manuscripts, books, correspondence and textbooks from the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans to the middle of the 19th century. This is an attempt to shed light on the conditions and mechanisms of the formation of one of the basic national stereotypes of the Bulgarian which played a role in their relations with the neighbours. Revealed are the stages in the building up of the image of the Greek, connected with the processes running in Bulgarian society of forming the nation and with the analogous processes in Greek society. Special attention is paid to the role of the formation of the Bulgarian national identity, an important element of which was the identification of the “other” on the basis of criteria different from the religious ones. Stress is laid on the effect of the collision of the national platforms of Bulgarians and Greeks on the evolution of the image of the Greek in which negative traits began to prevail in the second half of the 19th century. At the same time, much space is devoted to the authors who in their works drew the image of the Greeks and Greece fully in a positive light.
