The municipal administration in the city of Trenčín had several different elements from most of the cities in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 17th century. One of them was represented also by the urban valet concer-ning the position and responsibilities within the municipal administration. He was not part of the Senate in Trenčín city, but on the other hand he fulfilled the tasks held by Burghers in other cities. At the turn of the 16th and 17th century, the valet became a permanent and integral part of Trenčín government. Due to the increase of economic power of the city and the administration as a whole, the function of urban valet was often considered as a kind of interchange stations for those who had the ambition to be selected for City Council. Those who were already there, they again cumulated interest in authorities because the urban valet organize the flow of city money; senators were trying to get often. The author of the study tries to portray the urban valet as a officer, in particular through the view of the circumstances of the election and his position, competencies and tasks entrusted within the city administration. In the present study there is also chronological overview of urban valet in the 17th century and two archontological profiles of urban valets who made a vital contribution to the population of our history.

After World War I, the debate on Belgian reconstruction divided architects. Some claimed that the priority should be the reconstruction of monuments and urban historical centers, others considered the construction of housing more urgent. In the first half of the Twenties, on one hand the well established generation of old architects worked at reconstruction of devastated regions, on the other hand the young „modernist“ generation experimented with the construction of garden-suburbs with low-cost housing. The urban planner and landscaper Louis van der Swaelmen and the modernist architect Victor Bourgeois considered a failure the reconstruction „à l’identique“ and the reconstruction „in style“ that exhibited a sentimentalist and regionalist vision. Indeed, the law on destroyed municipalities (April 8th, 1919) imposed a regional esthetic for reconstruction on pre-existing urbanized sites. By contrast the construction of new garden-suburbs appeared as a great success against the „vieux-neuf“. In 1920 the Office of Devastated Regions opened the „Architectural Section“ under the responsibility of Jean-Jules Eggericx, and a first settlement of 100 social housing units was created a Roulers and named Batavia. It was inspired, at the same time, by the Belgian beguinage and by the English garden-city; and new materials and building technologies were experimented there.

The aim of the paper is to investigate the regional elite of Šariš and its weekly, Naša Zastava which was published in an Eastern Slovak dialect between 1907 – 1918. A considerable amount of Slovak and Hungarian works has been already published on the so-called Slovjak movement. The main sources of research were the documents of the so-called Public Educational Association of the Šariš County. The paper uses this organisation to examine the way how a regional elite contructs the imagined community of Eastern Slovak people before 1918.

The article aims to reconstruct the ethnic image of the town of Košice produced by members of Slovak historiography in the period of existence of the historical Hungary. In the development of the ethnic structure of Košice, the most decisive role played the town’s location on the ethnic border between areas with prevailing Slovak, and on the other side Hungarian inhabitants. To define the affiliation of Slovak historiography to the multi-ethnic town of Košice, it was necessary to trace contemporary images of Slovak scholars about the ethnic composition and realia of Košice and answer the question, whether they considered Košice as one of the Slovak towns, and whether Košice became one of the places of Slovak collective memory. The article contemplates what role did Košice play in constructing the Slovak national discourse and, eventually, it outlines reasons why the town, despite a huge potential, did not become one of the significant centres of the Slovak national life before 1918.

The article is the result of a field study in 2020 in the village of Varvara, Septemvri municipality, on the current state of women’s folk two-part singing. The ethnomusicological interpretation is made on the basis of a comparative analysis between theoretical studies on performance practices, an audio archive of the women’s vocal group at the National Culture Center “Peasant Awakening – 1927”, made in the early 1990s, and the most modern field materials from 2020. Passing through certain periods, the musical model becomes a village cultural value bequeathed from the past, which is preserved and safeguarded through certain forms of stage activity. Today, it is part of the intangible cultural heritage and ‘lives’ mainly through the community center and the practice of a certain generation.

The debate for the birthplace of St. Paisius of Hilendar emerged rather late – practically after the Balkan Wars and the First World War. Until then, everyone was unanimous that the saint originated from the town of Samokov / the village of Dospei, Samokov region. As of today, three hypotheses for the birthplace of St. Paisius of Hilendar are defined: 1. Kralevdol hypothesis (the village of Kralev dol, District of Pernik), 2. Bansko hypothesis (the vilage of Bansko, District of Blagoevgrad), and 3. Samokov hypothesis (the town of Samokov / the village of Dospei). The problem regarding the birthplace of St. Paisius of Hilendar can be solved through the use of three types of evidence: • Folklore stories, toponyms, etc. • Documental (written) evidence – parish registers, attributions, etc. • Language evidences – derived from the draft of the “Slavo-Bulgar History” (Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya), preserved in the “St. George Zograf” Zograf Monastery in Mount Athos. All three types of evidence unequivocally display that the birthplace of St. Paisius of Hilendar is the town of Samokov / the village of Dospei.

This manuscript is called Chehlarov’s copy because it is known that Chehlarov was one of his possessors. Also it is known as the Fourth Tarnovo Copy of “Istorija slavjanobolgarskaja“ because it was found in Veliko Tarnovo. This paper contributes to its codicological (it reconstructs the correct order of folios) and language (East Bulgarian dialectal features) characteristics and also argues that it belongs to the family of Father Pantelejmon’s redaction but not to its branch of which Vlad Gladichov’s copy was a protograph. Therefore, terminus ante quem non is 1809 when Father Pantelejmon produced his manuscript.

Основната цел на този текст е да представи концепцията за деколонизацията на психичното здраве чрез изследване върху началото на този процес по време наСтудената война. Поради тази причина е въведена дискусията за появата на глобални илокални проекти в транскултурната психиатрия. Като обект на основен документаленанализ избрахме окончателния доклад на транскултурния проект на Световната здравна организация, проведен между 1965 и 1973 г. в Глобалния юг и Глобалниясевер, озаглавен Международно пилотно изследване на шизофренията (СЗО, IPSS1973). Нашата цел е да идентифицираме, чрез анализа на този глобален междукултуренпроект на СЗО, как психичното здраве и културата са били третирани като медико-политически проект, целящ да създаде общ език за психиатрията чрез универсалисткаепистемология. СЗО е обвързана със социалните проблеми на следвоенния период,търсейки в епистемологията на универсалността потвърждение на обстоятелството, чевсички сме равни, а също и възможност да бъдат избегнати бъдещи конфликти междуотделните нации. Световният мир, световното гражданство и универсализмът са важнимедико-политически програми на IPSS и особено на СЗО. По отношение на структуратана психиката, деколониалният подход смята, че всички хора са еднакви, респективно наедно и също ниво. Въпреки че универсалността на шизофренията изиграва важна ролякато критика на колониалната психиатрия, IPSS поема по много рискован и ограниченпът. Проблемът е, че не всички сме еднакви. Заложени са на карта субективността, разнообразието и различни културни и социални аспекти, които трябва да бъдат взети под внимание. В този смисъл опитът да се създаде общ и универсален език за шизофренията повдига въпроси за някои постколониални и транскултурни подходи.
