The language issue in Ukraine. An attempt at a new perspective

Author(s): Tadeusz A. Olszański / Language(s): English

Ukraine has been an independent state for only 20 years and the consequence of the long-term incorporation of Ukrainian lands into the Russian/Soviet state is an ethnically mixed society. In Ukraine, alongside Ukrainians, there are very many Russians and members of other nationalities of the former Soviet Union as well as a still large group of people who identify themselves as Soviets (in terms of their nationality). A significant part of Ukrainians use Russian in their everyday life (particularly professional) while knowing Ukrainian to only a small degree or not at all. Due to this Kyiv has to implement a language policy (which does not have to be pursued in e.g. Poland or Hungary) in search of solutions to ensure the stable functioning of a modern state for a multilingual society. The language issue is therefore an important challenge for the Ukrainian state and one of the more significant issues in Ukraine’s internal politics. In this text I eschew a detailed analysis of the question of Crimea as its social dynamics (also in the language area) is clearly distinct from the remaining part of Ukraine for four reasons: the short-term character of the region’s links with Ukraine, its relative geographic isolation (Crimea is almost an island), the formal autonomy of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, and the presence of the Crimean Tatar community which is demanding the recognition of its language rights.

Cestami lidového tance. Zdenka Jelínková a česká etnochoreologie

Author(s): Martina Pavlicová / Language(s): Czech

Zdenka Jelínková was a prominent researcher in the area of folk dancing, who was present at the birth of Czech ethnochoreology after the Second World War. She was born on 30th March 1920 in south-eastern Moravia in Velká nad Veličkou, which belongs to the Horňácko ethnographic region. In her childhood and youth she still had opportunities to encounter numerous manifestations of traditional folk culture, which were gradually disappearing from everyday life due to the influence of modern society. She came from a white-collar family; however, she was attracted by rural folk culture, mainly folklore manifestations. She regularly returned to Horňácko even after her family moved to Brno. The closure of universities during the Nazi occupation in 1939 prevented her from studying the subjects she had already enrolled in (Physical Education – French), therefore she at least graduated from the school for instructors of the Czech Sokol Community (Česká obec sokolská) in Prague (1940) and worked as a teacher at various schools until 1950. Her interest in folk dancing and in children folklore did not wane even during her teaching career; she was also active in the folklore movement. In 1949 her erudition brought her to a group of collectors who were making folklore records for the collections of the Folk Song Institute (Ústav pro lidovou píseň) in Brno. In 1950 she was hired as a qualified worker of this institution and worked here until her retirement in 1982. Not even then did she give up her ethnochoreological activities. She died on 5th October 2005.

Jaroslav Palliardi (20. 2. 1861 – 12. 3. 1922): Pokrokový kulturní činitel jihozápadní Moravy a věhlasný archeolog evropského jména (Studie k dějinám archeologie)

Author(s): Jaroslav Kovarnik,Vladimír Podborský / Language(s): Czech

Ve chvíli předávání tohoto svazku „Postav moravské archeologie“ do tisku cítí autoři povinnost připomenout čtenářům jednu důležitou okolnost, která – jak se ukazuje – provází a do budoucna stále bude vydávání „Postav“ provázet. Jde o úplnost či neúplnost a o kritičnost jednotlivých svazků. Malé monografie stěží mohou osudy a životní dílo jednotlivých protagonistů moravské archeologie vyčerpat bezezbytku. Ne kvůli limitovanému rozsahu svazků – žádný limitkromě ekonomického není stanoven, nýbrž z heuristických důvodů. Co se týká kritičnosti, resp. hodnocení té které osobnosti, pak – pokud se ho ten který autor vůbec „dopustí“ – bude vždy především subjektivním pohledem, ovlivněným celkovým rozhledem pisatele, jeho odvahou a dobovým nazíráním. Autoři ostatně nejsou k hodnocení osobností vyzýváni.

Těšetice-Kyjovice 7. Osídlení kultury s moravskou malovanou keramikou mezi příkopem a vnější palisádou rondelu

Author(s): Martin Kuča,Eliška Kazdová,Šárka Hladilová,Miriam Nývltová Fišáková,Lubomír Prokeš / Language(s): Czech

V několika posledních desetiletích je mimo řadu jiných témat archeologie patrný zvýšený zájem o výzkum a následnou interpretaci fenoménu nazývaného v archeologických kruzích jako rondelová či sociokultovní architektura. Na Ústavu archeologie a muzeologie (dříve Katedře archeologie) Filozofické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity v Brně mátento směr bádání dlouhou tradici. Připomeňme jen, že jako první byl ve střední Evropě kompletně prozkoumán rondel v „Sutnách“ u Těšetic-Kyjovic nedaleko Znojma, a to meziléty 1968–1978 (dějiny výzkumu jsou i s literaturou uvedeny v kapitole 1), čímž rozběhl novou etapu oboru. Od té doby bylo do dnešních dnů objeveno řádově několik desítek podobných objektů.

Masarykova univerzita v Brně: Příběh vzdělání a vědy ve střední Evropě

Author(s): Lukáš Fasora,Jiří Hanuš / Language(s): Czech

This publication has two objectives: to contribute to the 90th anniversary celebrations of the founding of Masaryk University, while at the same time opening up a specialist debate about the traditions and conditions of higher education in the context of modern Czech history, and the prospects for its future development. In the first chapter, entitled “The Journey Towards a Second Czech University,” the authors examine the events leading up to the establishment of Masaryk University in 1919. Particular attention ispaid to three factors which played key roles in its inception: (1) the condition and development of higher education in the western part of the Habsburg monarchy, which not only involved universities (traditionally those in Prague, Cracow, Vienna, Innsbruck, Lviv, and later Černovice), but also colleges of higher education (in Olomouc and Štýrský Hradec); (2) the conditions particularto Brno, with disagreements between German and Czech elements, which constituted only one facet of the question of nationality in the middle of a multi-ethnic and multi-religious empire; and lastly, (3) the position of the city of Brno and its civic politics, which were codetermined by industrial and cultural developments. In this part of the text the emphasis shifts from an academic and political view of the establishment of the new university to how it was viewed by the public. From this perspective the foundation of the university can be seen as a “revolutionary act.”

Parias y resistentes

Author(s): Aránzazu Calderón Puerta / Language(s): Spanish

The book "Parias y resistentes. La guerra interminable según Almudena Grandes" written by Aránzazu Calderón is an important work that I believe that should be read by both, those interested in Spanish Literature and Spanish History. It is also a text that reflects the great debates in these two disciplines. Both the need for the historical memory of nations and the genesis and reinforcement of what Rosenwein has called emotional communities (2006) appear in this book analyzing Almudena Grandes' novelistic project, which is entitled "Episodios de una Guerra interminable".

Цар Симеон Велики (893–927)

Author(s): Rasho Rashev / Language(s): Bulgarian

Rasho Rashev’s book does not have a monolithic character. It does not comprehensively reveal the time and activities of King Simeon the Great, but consists of several studies, which the author himself defines as “touches to his personality and work”. In them a very interesting and largely successful attempt has been made to seek answers to questions that have remained outside the attention of previous researchers or have been little addressed by them. Among the themes he discusses are: the notion of the king as a “vassal peacemaker”, a “new Moses”, a “new David”; Simeon’s nature as the “last proto-Bulgarian”; his activities as a historian and his attitude to the Name Book of the Bulgarian Khans and to the pagan past of his ancestors. Rasho Rashev’s interpretation is not only original and attracts with its new ideas, but also predisposes to reflection. It greatly enriches the image of the great Bulgarian king.

Opowiedzieć historię. Polska dramaturgia współczesna po 2006 roku

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Publication ”To Tell a Story. Polish Contemporary Dramaturgy after 2006” is an attempt to analyse the historical narratives in the newest Polish theatre and drama. Starting from the classical canon of memory studies, shaped by researchers such as Pierre Nora, Marianne Hirsch, Jan and Aleida Assmann or Maurice Halbwachs, young theatre researchers look at methods, reasons, aims and effects of including historical and memory narratives into performances and dramas. Due to the variety of research approaches and topics undertaken by both the authors of articles and theatre artists, the issue of telling the history in Polish theatre and drama was treated in a cross-sectional area. The book deals with the themes of peasant stories, stories related to the place (memory spaces), memory transfers between generations, or feminist revision of history, among others. Using examples of selected dramatic texts and plays (not only representing dramatic theatre, but also musical, puppet or physical theatre), the dramaturgical conventions and narrative strategies employed by theatre makers that influence the construction of stories about the past are analysed.
