Little Entente of Women/Малката женска антанта и феминистките движения на Балканите през 20-те и 30-те години на ХХ век

Author(s): Krassimira Daskalova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

While Southeastern European (SEE) women’s activism should not be judged against a Western yardstick, it developed in tandem with women’s movements in the West and was influenced by the global context and networks (such as the International Council of Women, the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom). The article deals with the entanglements (and tensions) between the Balkan women’s organizations and their leaders within the so-called Little Entente of Women, established in Rome in May 1923 by activists from Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Comparing the agendas and activities of the international, regional (such as the Little Entente of Women) and national organizations would help us reconstruct their “histoire croisée”, and start developing a trans-national perspective which is almost lacking in the women’s and gender history of SEE so far.

ПИРАНДЕЛОВА ПОТРАГА ЗА ПОЗОРНИЦОМ

Author(s): Predrag Nešović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3-4/2020

У настојању да на позорници прикаже живот у сталном кретању, да потврди онај Декартов creatio continua, парадоксу да се управо мена проматра као константа, Пирандело је сачинио своју разбијачку театарску методологију, која је, незадовољна у његово доба постојећим приказивањем збиље на сцени, циљала на разоткривање позоришне илузије, подвргнула деструкцији драмску особу, која непрестано навлачи и скида маске представљајући се час као лик у драми, час као глумац, приватна особа која глуми задани лик.

ДУХОВИТО ПОИГРАВАЊЕ СА КОНВЕНЦИЈАМА РЕАЛИСТИЧКОГ ПОЗОРИШТА

Author(s): Dragan Klaić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3-4/2020

У поређењу са антибуржоаском жестином Маjаковског и Витрака, Пирандело изгледа као аутор чврсто укорењен у грађански свет, штавише као припадник еstablishmentа. Није ли он примио Нобелову награду и дозволио да му властити списатељски углед буде уграђен у фасаду респектабилности талијанскот фашизма, те је и сахрањен у црној кошуљи, на одру окићеном Дучеовим венцем? Ни друштвени отпадник, ни маргиналац авангарде, Пирандело је најчешће схватан као помало бизаран драматичар који се духовито поиграва са конвенцијама реалистичког позоришта, почев од налета несрећне шесточлане породице, која у његовом номаду Шест лица траже писца (Sei persoggi in cerca d′autore, 1921) прекида позоришну пробу да би своју збиљску судбину, сукобе и бол понудила као драмски сиже. Уметност, показује се у овом комаду, који је брзо свом писцу донео светску славу, није у стању да тај потенцијално драматичан сиже савлада и обради.

The Incomprehension of Terror as a Harbinger of “Post-Truth”?

Author(s): Anna Shor-Chudnovskaya / Language(s): English Issue: 17/2019

This article is devoted to the attitude to truth as a part of political epistemology and of political culture in post-Soviet Russia. It considers the extent to which the Great Terror contributed to the development of a specific political epistemology, which is also largely characteristic of later periods of Soviet history and perhaps even of today. Of particular interest is the population’s perception of the terror as inaccessible or poorly accessible to logical understanding. As main sources, the article relies on two literary texts: Lydia Chukovskaya’s Sofia Petrovna and Veniamin Kaverin’s The Open Book. Despite all the apparent differences between the Soviet system and today’s Russia, one important similarity is striking: over the last two decades (after 1999) there has been a visible increase in the belief that it is impossible for a political subject to separate truth from lying and that the sphere of public administration and political interests is, by definition, a place where deception prevails. This article discusses the potential historical roots of this certainty.

In Praise of Wellborn Mothers: On the Development of Eugenicist Gender Roles in lnterwar Romania

Author(s): Maria Bucur / Language(s): English Issue: 01/1995

"Through Mendelism, modern biology has given us the key that enables each nation to gain access if not to Heaven, at least to its gates. . . . The birth of children with superior gifts can be for each nation a source of scientific, ethical, artistic, and social creativity, that would increase the potential of that entire ethnic group." Thus spoke in 1940 Simion Mehedinti, one of the most prominent figures in modern Romanian pedagogy and geography. lnterwar Romania was the scene of intense debates among the educated middle classes on the shape and role of the modern Romanian state as a sovereign political entity in Europe and on the social organization of this state. Among the questions they discussed were gender roles in social and political life, particularly regarding control of reproduction. [...]

Ioannes Novi und Stefan der Große – Märtyrer und Landesfürst: Zur Ambivalenz von Erinnerungsverortung in der Bukowina

Author(s): Kurt Scharr / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2020

Until now, it has been impossible to identify any evidence of the existence of a collective identity for the major part of the peasant population of Bukovina, despite some previous attempts at highlighting these imagined identities and their presence in the memory of social groups. Both Stephen, the sovereign, and Ioannes, the saint, belong to Bukovina and have their central memory places there. The Romanian elites tended to look upon Stephen the Great and Putna as a tangible foundation for building an all-Romanian identity. There is also a second concept—almost diametrically opposed to the former one: the traditional notion of identity of the “Romanian” peasants in Bukovina, likely engendering in the local imagination a regionally superior, homogeneous connection with a possible “national body of all Romania.” Saint Ioannes Novi of Suceava embodies this perspective and was probably only of limited suitability in anchoring the modern idea of nation. However, even Stephen the Great is remembered as a “sacral decoupled national figure of identification by a large number of Romanians,” and did not become a patron saint of the country. On the contrary, his canonization in 1992 is rather an attempt to highlight the importance of the autocephalous Romanian Orthodox Church, which—after the collapse of the socialist system—created its first saint.

Ernest Bernea and the Legionary Movement

Author(s): Irina Nastasă-Matei / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2020

The paper discusses Ernest Bernea’s legionary past, focusing on its consequences and the post-war fate of the sociologist. I take into consideration his activity as a member of theLegionary Movement, his journalistic activity from the Rânduiala magazine, as well as the time he spent at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the light of the communist authorities’ subsequent attitude, highlighting the post-war fate of the Gusti school’s member, which was profoundly marked by this legionary drift. The main resources used in the paper are the documents from the CNSAS Archive.

Warunki działalności artystycznej plastyków w getcie łódzkim 1940–1944 w świetle źródeł: dokumentacji administracyjnej, wspomnień i relacji świadków

Author(s): Irmina Gadowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2020

In the years 1940–1944, several dozen artists were active in the Łódź ghetto. Those were renowned artists – graduates of schools and academies and talented amateurs, who did not gain recognition as artists before 1939. Some came from the Łódź area, some came from abroad – on transports from Prague, Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne or Vienna. In a closed housing district, artistic activity, subjected to administrative supervision was harnessed for propaganda purposes. In offices, institutions, departments and workshops, they made posters, commemorative albums, stamps, badges, emblems, and posters. On special commission, they painted portraits of Jewish dignitaries and German ghetto administration officials. Although the rationing of tools and materials: paints, cardboard, metals, ink was strictly connected with orders, the artists tried to create works that depicted the surrounding reality outside the official circulation and without censorship. The issue of artistic activity in the Łódź ghetto was discussed on the basis of examples of the functioning of selected departments and war-time biographies of the most renowned artists. This analysis makes use of different sources, from surviving archive documents to personal recollections, letters, testimonies, and existing works. Research results that, on the one hand, took into consideration individual information, and on the other – individual feelings of the victims and witnesses, are a starting point for further reconstruction of artistic activity in the Łódź ghetto.

The Soviet West-or Far Eastern Europe?

Author(s): Roman Szporluk / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1991

What entity do we have in mind when we use the names we do in the title of this essay? There are various ways of defining this area, all of them historical in one way or another. First of all, we may ask whether we might not substitute the term "Far Eastern Europe" for what has often been called "the Soviet West." Each term includes those areas that the USSR acquired between 1939 and 1945. [...]

Nacionalizacija čehoslovačke imovine u Federativnoj Narodnoj Republici Jugoslaviji na primjeru firme Bata

Author(s): Dalibor Savić,Milan Balaban / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 7/2020

The paper analyzes the process of nationalization of Czechoslovak property in the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia immediately after the Second World War — from liberation from the Nazi occupation to mid-1949. In this context, through the application of the research strategy of the case study (based on the analysis of secondary literature and unpublished archived documents), the authors pay special attention to the historical, sociological, political, economic and legal aspects of the most significant events related to the confiscation of Bata property. The results of the research indicate that despite certain specifics, the nationalization of the property of the Bata Company in the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia is a typical case of the attitude of the communist authorities towards foreign capital.

Ideology, Reality, and Competing Models of Development in Eastern Europe Between the Two World Wars

Author(s): Daniel Chirot / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1989

It is commonplace to say that East European countries did not experience successful economic development during the 1920s and 1930s. It took most of the 1920s to repair the damage done by the war. In some cases , notably in Poland and Hungary , continued fighting after 1918 only made the situation worse. Trade patterns were badly disrupted by the collapse of the great empires in Central Europe. The industrial heartland of Poland lost its Russian market. Czech industry was cut off from Austro-Hungarian markets. Northern Yugoslavia and Transylvania were separated from the Habsburg Empire , too , and were joined to countries dominated by relatively more backward areas. Then, when the situation seemed to be improving , there came the Great Depression. The decline of agricultural prices and of industrial production during the early 1930s caused severe hardship.

Plečnikova crkva sv. Ante Padovanskoga u Beogradu

Author(s): Damjan Prelovšek / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 53/2020

Katolici južnoslavenskog područja počeli su u većem broju doseljavati u pravoslavnu Srbiju nakon prvoga svjetskog rata, kada su se po ustanovljenju kraljevine SHS u prijestolnici otvorile mnoge mogućnosti zapošljavanja: u upravi, u industriji, trgovini i sl. Za taj trend bio je i kraljevski dvor. Zato je beogradski nadbiskup fra Rafael Ivan Rodić pozvao bosanske franjevce da se pastoralno pobrinu za pridošlice. Nije to bilo prvi put da su se franjevci pokušali naseliti na području Srbije, ali su im Turci više puta spriječili djelovanje, a u 18. Stoljeću spalili njihovu redovničku crkvu. Godine 1926. bosanski su redovnici sagradili samostan u predgrađu Crveni Krst po nacrtu arh. Blaža Misite Katušića iz Zemuna. U prizemlju samostana bila je privremena kapela.

Diplomacy and War. Diplomatic Missions of Romania During World War II

Author(s): Adrian Viţalaru / Language(s): English Issue: 66/2020

The outbreak of the war in Europe and the worldwide expansion of the conflict affected the diplomatic relations of Romania with the states of the world. In September 1939-June 1941, i.e. from the beginning of conflict until entering the war, the Romanian state reconfigured its network of diplomatic missions according to the military developments and economic issues it met, closing down the representations from disappearing countries (Poland) and giving up, for a short period of time, other overseas missions (Iran, Finland). After entering the war, the diplomatic missions from the capitals of the adversaries were closed, while Romania strengthened its diplomatic presence in the allied states or in the states that were close to Germany’s party line. Starting with 1943, however, the lead in Bucharest sought to initiate negotiations with the member states of the United Nations Coalition, which made that the legations from neutral states play an increasingly important role. The events from 23rd August 1944 and the signing of the armistice in September of the same year had consequences on the diplomatic missions of Romania. It is clear that the Romanian authorities sought, in the new geo-political context, to reopen some diplomatic representations, as was the case with the diplomatic mission from Soviet Union.
