The Arms of Moravia and Silesia

The Arms of Moravia and Silesia

Author(s): Zdeněk Koudelka / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2011

Keywords: Moravia; Silesia; arms

Moravia and Silesia are historical lands which nowadays create the eastern part of the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, the major part of Silesia belongs to contemporary Poland, a smaller part belongs to Saxony. Moravia as a margraviate and Silesia as a duchy belonged as integral parts to the Holy Roman Empire and were feudally dependent on the Czech king, later on the Habsburg and Prussian state. Their historical lines projected in that aspect that their coats of arms exist in two versions.

CONFERENCE "The Philosophical Basis of Inter-Religious Dialogue International Conference in the University of Silesia"

CONFERENCE "The Philosophical Basis of Inter-Religious Dialogue International Conference in the University of Silesia"

Author(s): Romualdas Dulskis / Language(s): English / Issue: 26/2008

Keywords: Silesia; Katowice; Conference; inter-religious dialogue; civilizations; globalization.

The conference proceeded in a constructive and warm atmosphere. Interesting, informative and many-sided presentations were completed by in-depth discussions. The conference revealed that inter-religious dialogue is a communicative and investigative process, that needs both: expressing oneself and understanding the other. If inter-religious dialogue includes openness to learning from each other’s experience, wisdom and knowledge about faith and spirituality, and a spirit of humility and benevolence as well as willingness to be self-critical, inter-religious dialogue is very beneficial and effective.

Chancery instructions of the Catholic University of Lublin, and the instructions of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University and the University of Silesia in Katowice. Comparison of chancery norms

Instrukcja kancelaryjna KUL a instrukcje Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej i Uniwersytetu Śląskiego w Katowicach. Porównanie normatywów kancelaryjnych

Author(s): Tomasz Nowicki / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 103/2015

Keywords: the Catholic University of Lublin; chancery-archive norms; chancery instructions; the chancery system; documents flow; chancery; registry

Modern chancery of case records is run using the chancery system based on registering particular cases. This system is built on three important chancery-archive norms, which include chancery instructions, a uniform list of records (which is often the annex to chancery instructions) and archival instructions. Without these regulations the smooth functioning of a modern chancery and an institutional archive (records repository) is almost impossible.Chancery instructions are the ones which play an important role, as their primary function is to establish the rules and procedures for performing chancery tasks in the institution and to standardize the handling of documentation produced by the institution. The proper design of this normative undoubtedly improves the functioning of institutions, optimizes document management processes, contributes to rationalization and improvement of documents flow within the organization, and streamlines and accelerates the process of performing things. This norm is also needed in higher education, especially at universities. Chancery of the university (understood as a whole organizational unit performing formal and substantive chancery tasks), due to extensive structure of such an institution, is heavily fragmented. It is a legal requirement to have properly constructed chancery instructions (but also other norms) in the case of state universities. In the case of the Catholic University of Lublin John Paul II there is no legal coercion, but certainly the advantages of using these norms were the basis for its introduction by the Rector of the Catholic University 21 December 2001. The article presents the comparison of the introduced chancery instructions with similar norms in two Polish universities, namely Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, and the University of Silesia. The most important finding of this comparison is recognition of the necessity of issuing new chancery regulations at the Catholic University of Lublin.

Saint Adalbert – the Apostle of Silesia

Saint Adalbert – the Apostle of Silesia

Author(s): Anna Pobóg-Lenartowicz / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: St. Wojciech; cult; Opole; Dominicans; chronicle; Middle Ages;

Bishop Adalbert is known under many names but only one source refers to him as the ‘Apostle of Silesia’: a mediaeval chronicle of the Opole Dominicans. Since the World War II the chronicle is lost. The contents of the chronicle were recently reconstructed thanks to an archival research in the manuscript department of the Wrocław University Library, the National Archive in Prague and the Dominican General Archive on Aventine hill in Rome. According to the source, saint Adalbert had visited Opole about 984. In Górka (the Hill) he was supposed to christianize local society and baptize them. When he was run out of baptizing water, the fountain came to the top and lasted till the beginning of the 20th century. Close to the fountain the church dedicated to Blessed Virgin Mary was founded and, according to the chronicle, was the first temple in Opole. In 15th century saint Adalbert has been already worshiped as city’s patron. His cult encircled entire Silesia so term ‘the Apostle of Silesia’ didn’t seem then extraordinary at all.

Author(s): Paweł Grzywna,Natalia Stępień-Lampa / Language(s): English / Issue: 33/2021

Keywords: changes in universities; a new role of the university; depopulation; brain drain; the University of the Best

As a result, the University of the Best programme for talented students of the region was created at the University of Silesia in Katowice. The assumption is that the programme will be the response of the University of Silesia in Katowice to the depopulation and brain drain related to this process. The purpose of this study is to present the way the University of the Best operates and the results of surveys carried out during Univeristy’s activities.

A quarter of a century of research at the University of Silesia’s ethnological center in Cieszyn

Ćwierćwiecze działalności naukowo-badawczej uniwersyteckiego ośrodka etnologicznego w Cieszynie

Author(s): Grzegorz Odoj / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 21/2021

Keywords: Cieszyn ethnological center; ethnology; cultural anthropology; Silesia; cultural borderland

The academic center of ethnological research in Cieszyn has a clearly defined profile, which distinguishes it from other centers of this kind in Poland. Its specificity results primarily from the research interests of the staff, which focus on the issues of cultural and ethnic borderlands and on contemporary socio-cultural transformations, including the role of tradition in the life of postmodern communities. The rich and multifaceted achievements over the past twenty-five years of the center’s operation can be seen as an obligation on the part of the researchers encouraging them to make further consistent efforts to consolidate its position on the map of ethnological studies in Poland, to make their research more effective, and to enhance and broaden international cooperation. A materialization of the idea of creating a permanent ethnological research institution in Silesia, the center plays an important and admittedly unique role in integrating research on cultural phenomena and processes in Central Europe.
