За залозите на едно ученическо телевизионно състезание по история

Author(s): Snezhana Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2019

Considering some mistakes made by student during a TV competition on national media, symptomatic of „the state of things“, and based on the theory of affection, the article raises the question of the theoretical and empirical deficits in the historical education and cultural formation of students. It subjects through historical examples the role of the relational context in which the knowledge is absorbed and embodied to challenge the other context of knowledge - the affective. And with that, it turns the scientific focus on the role of hidden curricula for civic education in history,which today define our tomorrow.

Добрият и мъдър кентавър Φόλος

Author(s): Joanna Spassova-Dikova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 24/2019

The text deals with the theatrical activity of Prof. Alexander Fol’s father, the theatre director Nikolay Fol, who was a remarkable figure in Bulgarian culture. Emphasis is placed both on his performances at the National Theatre and on his dramatic work. It is noted that he was an artist, intrinsically connected with the tendencies of looking for new forms in art between the two world wars. It is emphasised that Nikolay Fol implemented in his work European quests in the field of scenography, modern music, plastic art and choreography from the second half of the 20th century. His orientation was to the intellectual, laconic theatre, which contains significant ideas related to human existence and consciousness, to expressionist means of suggestion. In the spirit of German expressionism, his directorial decisions were towards the use of conditional decoration, large massive scenes, choirs that talk and dance in a modern style. His productions were monumental, they often touched the audiences deeply with many forms of expression. Critics defined his performances as bright, dynamic, entertaining, engaging. Attention is drawn to the fact that an important moment in Nikolay Fol’s biography is related to his belief that children’s theatre is extremely important for the development of adolescents, prompting him to become the founder of several children’s schools.

Сакрална инфраструктура в Пангейския регион 6–5 в.пр.Хр.

Author(s): Vanya Lozanova-Stancheva / Language(s): English,Greek, Ancient (to 1453),Bulgarian Issue: 24/2019

The paper offers an analysis of the ancient written sources about the ethno-political and religious-political situation in Southwestern Thrace – between the lower course of the rivers Strymon and Nestos, and especially in the region of the Pangaion Mountain (Pınar Dağ or Kushnitsa) in the 5th century BC in the context of two sets of events: - Graeco-Persian wars and the march of the Persian army of Xerxes through the Thracian territories; - Athens’ early colonisation efforts in Southwestern Thrace. The concepts of sacred, sacred infrastructure and sacral communication are defined. An attempt has been made to reconstruct the possible sacral infrastructure of the region based on a system of sacred topoi and rituals registered by the ancient authors and specific forms of sacral communication among the local Thracian tribes, dominated by the Edonoi.

Експедиция Банско. 30 години след началото: резултати

Author(s): Katya Melamed / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 24/2019

On June 26, 1987 Professor Fol put the beginnings of Bansko Expedition. His programme was grounded on the idea of the roots from which the intellectual power broke off in the 18th c. to give birth to the Bulgarian Revival – a brave new idea against the common belief that Bansko was founded in the 15th century by refugees from the Ottoman invasion. The members of the expedition believed that far back in time a rich pre-history existed waiting to be revealed and read properly. Today we know much better the territory after historical research, terrain observations, regular archaeological excavations and interdisciplinary analyses of artifacts. The work presents the results. St. Ivan Sanctuary A small mound with two wooden crosses and wooden iconostasis with candles. Offerings of flowers and small coins. The research revealed a sanctuary of nearly three thousand years of life and unchanged practices. Kilns for building ceramics, 4th – 6th c. in the same area. Early Christian (4th – 6th c.) and Medieval churches and a large necropolis (10th – 13th c.) all of them built over a Thracian sanctuary – Shipotsko site. The building manner of the Early Christian church has followed some earlier Thracian building practices. Most probably serious demographic changes have not taken place. The religious site was visited also by pilgrims coming from the Rhodopian Mountain judging from the pottery left. Early Christian necropolis (4th – 5th c.) in Karagonsko site. Traces of a Thracian community recently adopted Christianity and still keeping some of their earlier inherent practices. An interesting find – one of the graves contained a complete bronze belt set from the time of Constantine the Great or heirs, found for the first time in the Southern Bulgaria – a dramatic meeting between the Thracian warrior and Rome? Ancient and Medieval town in St. Nickolas site. Early Byzantine fortress of Sitan Kale – once again earlier Thracian building traditions.

Руските революции през погледа на Николай Бердяев

Author(s): Asya Atanasova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2016

Russian revolutions of 1917 still attract the attention of the historians. Was Russia able to avoid those cataclysms? Why was the Proletarian revolution accomplished in an undeveloped rural country? These and many other questions have answers sought in the perspicacious books of the Russian religious philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev. He is the man who saw the truth that the revolution was the internal destiny of the Russian people and that Bolshevism could only be defeated with intellectual overcoming and not with guns.

LES COMMUNAUTÉS GRECQUES ORTHODOXES EN MACÉDOINE DANS LE CADRE OTTOMAN : LE CAS DE SALONIQUE, ADMINISTRATION ET ÉVOLUTION AU XIXe SIÈCLE

Author(s): Emilie THEMOPOULOU / Language(s): French Issue: 3/2019

We are examining the administration of the Greek-Orthodox community in Thessaloniki during the Ottoman period, and its evolution in the 19th century. We are observing self-governance institutions in place since the Byzantine era. Powerful Greek-Orthodox families of Salonica and the Church play an important role in the administration of the Greek-Orthodox community. By the 17th century, changes can be seen in the makeup of the community’s administration as new members from the city’s professional guilds become part of it. This development enhanced the role of secular elements in that administration. By the second half of the 18th century, the creation of a class of merchants in the Greek-Orthodox community helped it gain a leading role in the administration of its affairs. We are also examining, by relying on Ottoman documentary evidence, the districts inhabited by the Greek-Orthodox of Thessaloniki in the first half of the 19th century, and how these developed in the latter part of the century following the city’s new town plan. The changes brought about by the Ottoman authorities in the second half of the 19th century with respect to the administration of the Greek-Orthodox communities under Ottoman rule were significant. Nonetheless, socially and financially powerful groups continued to partake of the administration of the Salonica community. The participation of the Greek Orthodox (powerful financially and socially groups) in regional councils (the so-called vilayet idare meclisi) brought about changes in the relations of the Greek-Orthodox with the local representatives of the Ottoman authorities. By the end of the 19th century, these developments had led to the emergence of new socialities between communities, and new mentalities and behaviors.

Бележки върху колективната жертва/курбан

Author(s): Angel Angelov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

In the religious practices of the population in the Bulgarian lands, kurban is an instrument for expressing gratitude towards God for His support during times of hardship, illnesses, and ordeals. It is constantly present in ceremonial practices from time immemorial. However, as every other aspect of human life, it is subject to change. The alterations in religious beliefs lead to variations in the ritual itself and the nature of the sacrifice. Nevertheless, more detailed analysis shows that modern kurban represents a peculiar mixture of ancient traditions and newer religious customs. Furthermore, Christian and Islamic theologies are not always dominant in ceremonial practices. The influence of pagan cults is felt particularly strongly in the mountainous and semi-mountainous regions, where the role of the religious institutions is markedly weaker.
