Canada: A view from without / Canada: Un regard d'ailleures

Author(s): / Language(s): English,French / Publication Year: 2007

The contributions in this collection pertain to a variety of multiethnic, multilingual and multicultural aspects of Canada, epitomizing the diverse academic interests of the members of the Bulgarian Chapter of the Central European Association for Canadian Studies. The Bulgarian Chapter is one of the recent additions to the Association —formed in 2004 — but since its very inception it has proved to be a vibrant and enthusiastic society for academics, to which the present volume undeniably testifies. The papers in this volume address a broad range of topics which have been grouped according to their subject matter: history/culture, literature, linguistics, and teaching. The study of Canadian culture is seen to involve both a general introduction to various aspects of Canadiana and the close scrutiny of phenomena that belong to specific subject areas.

Semiotics, image and narration

12-th Early Fall School in Semiotics

Author(s): / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2006

It is by now a tradition that the intellectual efforts of the participants at the Early Fall School in Semiotics (EFSS), organized annually by the Southeast Center for Semiotic Studies (SEECSS) at the New Bulgarian University, result in a collection of selected papers. The present volume in English and French is an outcome of the XIIth edition of the EFSS on "Semiotics, Image and Narration", held in 2006 in the town of Sozopol. It is formally divided into two parts, containing texts by 'guest lecturers' from our partner Universities in Finland, Italy and USA, as well as by 'local participants' - professors and students at the New Bulgarian University. From parchments to paper and from print to the internet, "the story of humankind has been written, and will be written upon its virtual walls" (Albertson, 1997). In the new millennium we are ever more surrounded by bulletin boards and computer networks, from advertisement banners to cyberspace. Nowadays humankind learns by watching rather than by reading or being lectured to. In order to be considered literate in the information age, the new literate person needs to be media literate as well as being proficient in literature and arithmetic.

The Ancient Egyptian Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor

Morphology of Classical Egypt

Author(s): Sergei Ignatov / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2017

The main corpus of the study represents a source study of pHermitage 1115, containing the text, which describes the encounter and the discourse of an Egyptian man with a deity. The text is considered in a dialogue with the texts of the epoch, i.e. the principle is followed that in order to understand an ancient text, one has to study all the other ones that are accessible. The uniqueness of the presented papyrus lies in the fact that it contains the most ancient evidence of prayer and of sacrifice, committed without the mediation of priests and is the most ancient story, describing a meeting of a man with a deity, without the human deserting his body. As compared to other religious texts, mentioning similar encounters in the process of the transformation into the hereafter, in pHermitage 1115 the Egyptian crosses the south-eastern boundary of the inhabited world and finds himself in the realm of the deity. Traditionally, the text is considered to be the most ancient specimen of adventure literature, but a careful analysis discloses, that it is an esoteric text, which describes mechanisms for trespassing the Worlds, throws light on the nature of the deity and its world, and guides the human beings by instructing them as to how to conduct themselves under such extraordinary situations. And most importantly, the papyrus reveals the image of Egypt such as it appears in the eyes of the Egyptian and of the deity.

The Body of God : Word and Image in Ancient Egypt

Lectures Delivered at New Bulgarian University

Author(s): Sergei Ignatov / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2016

The Egyptian state is the living body of God, i.e. of the king. This is the presumption of this book. The Egyptian state is the living body of God, i.e. of the king. This is the presumption of this book. The founder of Egyptology, Jean-Francois Champollion, once wrote: “In such inquiries one can progress with the help of facts only, and monuments are the only reliable facts... ” This is perhaps the best definition of Egyptological studies: patient and conscientious study of the monuments of ancient Egypt. The monuments of ancient Egyptian culture are located primarily in the Nile valley. The evidence of Egyptian penetration far south into ancient Nubia, ancient Syria, Phoenicia and Palestine to the east, imported Egyptian artifacts in the eastern Mediterranean lands, are also of interest to Egyptology. ...

Докторантски четения

Frequency: irregular and other / Country: Bulgaria

Форумът „Докторантски четения“ се провежда през годините от 2007-а насам в променящи се условия – обществена среда, образователни задачи и приоритети.В настоящия момент в документи за европейските перспективи до 2020 г. значимостта на хуманитарните дисциплини се обсъжда не толкова в областта на фундаменталните изследвания, колкото на практически приложимите знания.

Представените в този сборник работи са предимно на докторанти – преподаватели по художествени дисциплини в програмите на Нов български университет. Текстовете са части от техните дисертации в процес на подготовка. Тук безспорно трябва да отбележим ролята на научните ръководители в определянето на водещата теза и параметрите на труда, фрагмент от който са докладите от докторантския форум. Резултатът е сложна амалгама от теоретични постановки и практически аспекти на дисертационния труд. Надяваме се значението на подобен род дисертации и вплитането им в университетската образователна система да доведе до подобряване качеството на образованието според приоритетите на Европейската програма.

Европа през 21 век : Регионалната сигурност и необходимите реформи в Европейския съюз

Сборник с доклади и научни съобщения от международна кръгла маса

Author(s): / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Macedonian / Publication Year: 2017

The annual academic forum of National and International Security Department this year is devoted to regional security and reforms in the European Union. Foreign academics and researchers from Poland, Macedonia, Serbia, Russia and other countries are taking part in this broad forum.Why have we chosen this topic?Today, in the first quarter of the 21st century, it appears that the world is on the verge of tolerance of risks and threats. The range of these threats is enormously broad - from the danger of wars between countries and coalitions, to violence among people within states. The world is in a period of devastated global equilibrium and a slowly developing new equilibrium. The temporal distance between these two states opened a place for the manifestation of chaos.In this increasingly difficult to predict world, the European Union has not been so far under such a criticism as the present since its creation. It comes from the ultimate right and the ultimate left, pass through the center and involve more and more ideologists and representatives, even the classical left and center-right political parties. But even a glimpse of their criticism does not show a way out of the crisis. It does not show how to preserve what is valuable in politics, economics and democracy that Europeans have undoubtedly enjoyed and continue to enjoy and how to transfer it into a future European Project.

Европа през XX век. Част 1

Политическа и дипломатическа история на европейските държави от Първата световна война до падането на Берлинската стена, 1914-1995 (в две части)

Author(s): Plamen Tzvetkov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 2002

It is hard to perceive modern world without knowing the history of the European countries in the twentieth century to be remembered as the bloodiest century in the history. Most significant events at the time took place on the European continent. Europe has turned over the last hundred years from the cradle of the Judeo-Christian civilization, democracy and humanism into a proving ground for the most sinister ideologies - Russian Communism, German National Socialism and Italian Fascism. With Stalin's victory over Hitler in World War II, Europe not only lost its leading role in human progress, but also remained on the periphery of the Soviet empire. Only the fall of the Berlin Wall and the "gentle revolutions" of the end of 1989 gave Europeans a new chance to unite and take a decent place in world civilization progress, but the problems and challenges Europe is facing can be resolved in a more efficient way, if we know our past better.

Народностно потекло и национално самосъзнание

Author(s): Plamen Tzvetkov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 2007

Sense of nationality continues to be extremely powerful, and in today's globalized world, is getting even stronger. At first glance, the most obvious sign of the nation's community are language and origin, but too many nations seem to have no common ancestry, or even using only one language. Moreover, the most violent clashes burst out between people, professing the same religion and belonging more or less to the same culture. What makes most people to anticipate their national affiliations as an integral element of his/her own "I", and to invent their own past to find "worthy" place for their community? What can cause an ethno-national community or at least its elite to deny their relationship with another nation and to claim themselves as belonging to a completely different community, deliberately ignoring the "uncomfortable" facts? The purpose of this book is to make a critical review of some deep-rooted cliches and generally accepted axioms. The Bulgarian, Balkan and Slavic national passions are considered in the context of ethnogenesis and the formation of European nations and the world.
