ОЧЕРКОВЫЙ КОМПОНЕНТ ТЕЛЕВИЗИОННОГО ЭФИРА

Author(s): Inna Viktorovna Parkhomenko / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2015

This paper considers the current trend of using the genre of essay, which has historically been considered as the most important one in printed publications, on television. Applying the methods of comparison and induction, it is revealed that the essay component is inherent in different types of media, both traditional and electronic. It is the core that unites them. The artistic means of expression, which are characteristic of the newspaper essay, transform under the conditions of television and acquire additional new opportunities with the help of image and sound (audiovisual media).

Wspomnienie o Schulzu

Author(s): Izabela Czermakowa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2014

In Izabela Czermakowa’s memory, Bruno Schulz appears to be a writer that attracted people’s attention and had many occasions to socialize with the “high society,” not only in Drogobych. Yet he was so shy that those who met him could not understand either him or his work. “I have bought "Cinnamon Shops" by your friend Schulz. Honestly,I cannot understand anything of it. Why should anyone write like this and for whom?I have no idea why Warsaw is so enchanted, perhaps it’s just snobbery?” This commentary by an engineer who invited Schulz to dinner organized for a group of friends was not a spontaneous reaction to Schulz’s fiction, but a belated complaint on the author’s behavior since he was unable to reciprocate the appreciation of those who knew him and accidental readers.

Z historii polskiej Olimpiady Biologicznej Polska inicjatywa organizacji Międzynarodowej Olimpiady Biologicznej

Author(s): Wiesław Stawiński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

Kilka lat po II wojnie światowej dążono w Polsce do podwyższenia poziomu edukacji przyrodniczej i zainteresowania uczniów wiedzą matematyczno- -przyrodniczą. Temu celowi miały służyć różne konkursy przedmiotowe organizowane przez wojewódzkie i centralne ośrodki metodyczne z wydatną pomocą ze strony szkół wyższych i towarzystw naukowych. Pozytywne ich efekty zachęcały do organizacji ogólnokrajowych konkursów w postaci olimpiad przedmiotowych dla uczniów wyższych klas szkół średnich. Najstarszą z nich jest Olimpiada Matematyczna zorganizowana w roku 1949/1950 z inicjatywy Polskiego Towarzystwa Matematycznego, a obecnie organizowana przez Stowarzyszenie na Rzecz Edukacji Matematycznej. Nieco później – w roku 1950? – powstała Olimpiada Fizyczna, a w roku 2015/2016 odbywają się jej 65 zawody. Z kolei za nią – w roku 1953 – powstaje Olimpiada Chemiczna i obecnie po raz 62 przebiegają jej zawody. O kilkanaście lat później dochodzi do zorganizowania Olimpiady Biologicznej (1970–1971) i Olimpiady Geograficznej (1974–1975).

From the History of Mentalities to a Politics of Mentalities

Author(s): Wolf Lepenies / Language(s): English Issue: 01/1995

To deny the political sovereign the attention he deserves cannot fail to have serious consequences, and not just for the historian. One day, as John Kirkby, tutor to the seven-year-old Edward Gibbon, recited the thanksgiving prayer in the parish church of Putney, he forgot—“most unluckily”, as his subsequently famous pupil wrote—to mention the name of King George II. “His patron,” Gibbon continues, “a loyal subject, dismissed him with some reluctance and a decent reward; and how the poor man ended his days I have never been able to learn.”

The Common Interest

Author(s): George Soros / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1995

For the last five years I have devoted exactly half my income and a substantially larger portion of my time and energy to my foundation network, which now covers 27 countries in the former Soviet empire and two outside: South Africa and Haiti. I did so not because I am a particularly charitable person but because there was something very important at stake. The collapse of the Soviet empire was a historic event. What kind of social organization would take its place would determine the shape of the world for many years to come. Communism had tried to form a universal closed society. Now that it had failed, it was possible to create a universal open society.

Anthems (alla ungherese)

Author(s): Vilmos Voigt / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1995

Delve into the history of many of the world’s national anthems, and you are likely to find traces – or at least, implications – of a surprising Hungarian connection. Take, for instance, one of the best-known national anthems of the postwar decades, that of the State of Israel. Its public performance is still banned in certain countries. Initially sung by the Zionists—who sang the tune to the text of the 126th Psalm—Hatikvah (“Hope”) is an anthem whose admittedly complicated origins have inspired conflicting scholarly accounts.

Graves as Landmarks of National Identity

Author(s): Andrei Pippidi / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1995

The central characters of this essay are heroes and martyrs, people thought to lack humor; though the distance which usually separates political rhetoric from reality may well raise a few smiles. But reality is a tricky word—a historian should be cautious with it, for different people’s perceptions of any piece of evidence can differ widely depending on their different experiences. In recent years almost every country in Central and Eastern Europe has staged solemn funerals— reburials, to be precise—of various great figures of national history. The very diversity of the people selected for such displays of reverence makes us ask questions about the motivations for bringing these exiles back to their final resting-place in their own country.

Constructing a Gypsy National Culture

Author(s): Péter Szuhay / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1995

In his 1992 book, Cigányságom vállalom (I Accept My Gypsy Identity), György Rostás-Farkas explores how today’s Gypsies generally relate to themselves as Gypsies. The author lists a number of statements, all of which, essentially, are qualified expressions of the two basic attitudes; “I ’m a Gypsy” or “I ’m not a Gypsy” . We are not told whether these statements are actual quotes from interviews or the author’s own interpretations of how these attitudes are verbalized. Let us nevertheless accept the following sentences as possible answers to an underlying ethnic dilemma.

The BRB Guide to Budapest “Majestic though in ruin...”

Author(s): Nicholas T. Parsons / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1995

Those wishing to add gratuitously to their stock of melancholy experience could do worse than take a walk along the busy, southern section of Lánchíd utca known as Ybl Miklós tér. The west side of the road is flanked by a shamefully neglected ruin, in its heyday a conscious evocation of architecture in the hanging gardens its creator would have seen on his first Italian journey in 1841, and which had once existed on the western slopes of Castle Hill in the reign of Matthias Corvinus.

Living Historicism

Author(s): Katalin Sinkó / Language(s): English Issue: 01/1996

The Millennial Memorial, erected in 1896 to celebrate one thousand years of Hungary’s statehood, was the embodiment of what many a contemporary would have sworn was impossible: welding the various conflicting interpretations of power and the legitimacy of power advanced by Hungary’s fiercely competitive political parties into the semblance of a balanced and unified whole. The completed work, at any rate, has a force and serenity suggestive of ideological unity.

An Undivided Europe?

Author(s): Ágnes, R. Várkonyi / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1996

If the Western world wants to bridge the gulf that separates it from Central and Eastern Europe, it will have to know more of these regions’ history, a subject of which the average British and American student is blissfully ignorant. Theodore Roosevelt’s observation, penned by way of introducing a book on a critical episode of Hungarian history in 1913— the last year this century that anyone could think of peace as being the natural condition of Europe—is as relevant today as it was over eighty years ago. Indeed, the more talk there is of European unity, the more imperative it seems for people to be made aware of how far Hungarian history has always been an organic part of the story of Europe, and conversely, how consistently Europe has shaped Hungary over the centuries. “Europe” has never stood for just another continent; but whatever its connotation throughout the ages, Europe always defined itself as including the central and eastern parts of the expanse stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals, in sum, as including Hungary.

Opinions

Author(s): Sebastian Pilichowski / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2015

When I am writing this sentence, the year 2014 is slowly coming to an end – it is 11.11.2014 today. Therefore, it is a good time to summarize last months and reflect upon the situation. Among many positive observations, I find two areas which have drastically changed my opinion about some people. To organize the text in a logical form, I dare to divide it into two sections: 1) guided tours and outdoor lessons, and 2) student conferences.

The Humanities in the Age of Post-Literacy

Author(s): J. C. Kristóf Nyíri / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1996

An assessment of the future perspectives of the humanities might most appropriately take its lead from Bernhard Fabian’s central contention in his Book, Library, and Humanities Research (1983). As Fabian writes: “the subject field of the humanities is in the first place, or even exclusively, constituted by texts in the widest sense of the term.” Let us add that the subject field, and at the same time the precondition, of the conventional humanities is the written, the fixed text. The emergence and development of the humanities were initially bound up with the spread of alphabetic writing, and, subsequently, with the development of printing; the original task of the nascent humanities disciplines was a thoroughly practical one: to build up our knowledge about the characteristics of the new media with the aim of exploiting this knowledge in everyday life— for economic, educational, or political benefits.

Images of 1956

Author(s): György Litván / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1996

Research and the discussions over forty years have produced a huge volume of publications that deal with practically every aspect of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Questions are asked, and some of the answers are given. Time itself is of great assistance, historians continuously interpreting and reinterpreting events, hindsight shedding light on new aspects. The picture becomes more complete as new detail and analysis become available; it is also being seen in an ever new light from a different perspective with an ever shifting emphasis.

Cultural Mixture and Historical Meditation

Author(s): Natalie Zemon Davis / Language(s): English Issue: 01/1997

“This population is the most mixed with diverse nations of any in the kingdom,” a sixteenth-century inhabitant of Lyon said to account for disorders there: “Italians, Florentines, Genoese, Lucchese, Swiss, Germans, Spanish and other nations. This is a city of as many parts as the spots of a leopard’s skin. A strange populace!” In his memoir The Tongue Set Free: Remembrance of a European childhood, the writer Elias Canetti recalled fondly the mix in his Danube town of Ruschuk in the early twentieth century.

Hungarian Film Week 1998

Author(s): Miklós Györffy / Language(s): English Issue: 01/1998

To some extent a new situation has developed in film production during the last year. There were three Hungarian films showing at cinemas (Hungarian Conquest, Dolly birds, Out of Order), which to date have been seen by more than half a million people. With such audience figures, it will be possible for one or two Hungarian films not only to cover their costs but even to make a profit. Up to now even breaking even seemed inconceivable. And the next film, Zimmer Feri, was already out and showing simultaneously with it in competition at the Film Week. It too aspires to commercial success.
