The Bulgarian State in 927–969. The Epoch of Tsar Peter I

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Tsar Peter (927-969), the book’s protagonist, is all too frequently presented in modern scholarship as a weak ruler, devoid of any grander political aspirations, focused on religious matters, indeed – pious, but neglecting the vital interests of his subjects. It was said that during his reign both his court and state became Byzantinised, that the central authority was completely helpless in the face of Hungarian raids, and saw the spread of the Bogomilist heresy. According to the Tsar’s critics, it was as a result of his ineffectual rule that Boris II, his son and successor, was unable to defend Bulgaria’s sovereignty in 971.This book – the first monograph in world literature devoted to Peter - was written by Bulgarian (Miliana Kaymakamova, Georgi N. Nikolov, Angel Nikolov, Nikolay Hrissimov) and Polish medievalists (Miroslaw J. Leszka, Kirił Marinow, Zofia A. Brzozowska Jan M. Wolski). Thanks to a thorough analysis of the sources and an in-depth knowledge of the literature of the subject, they constructed a comprehensive and balanced image of the reign of their protagonist, and of the role he played in the history of mediaeval Bulgaria.

Imperium Brytyjskie. Rozważania interdyscyplinarne

Author(s): Marta Wiszniowska-Majchrzyk,Krystyna Kujawińska Courtney,Agnieszka Miksza,Zbigniew Bednarek,Łukasz Jan Korporowicz,Anna Kalinowska,Grzegorz Zinkiewicz,Monika Sosnowska,Izabela Plesiewicz-Świerczyńska,Maria Antonina Łukowska,Przemysław Deles / Language(s): Polish

Although the phrase “the empire on which the sun never sets” was originally used by Charles V of the House of Habsburg to refer to the beginnings of Spanish colonial expansion, it reappeared in the nineteenth century, when it came to be popularly employed in the context of the British Empire – the largest such political unit in the modern history of the world. At its height, it covered about 36 million square kilometers, or roughly a quarter of our planet's surface. The empire played a fundamental role in shaping the contemporary world, formulating the preconditions for defining the principles of democracy and international cooperation and even issues related to multiculturalism. From a paper “A Few Comments on the British Empire of Yesterday and Today” by prof. dr hab. Krystyna Kujawińska-CourtneyThe University of Łódź The interdisciplinary character of this scientific publication is its undeniable merit. Combining the reflections of literature, history and culture scholars in the book resulted in a complex and interesting work which discusses the phenomenon in question from a number of perspectives, thus becoming cognitively attractive for readers representing different interests, viewpoints and academic fields.

Jędrzej Moraczewski. Wspomnienia. Ludzie, czasy i zdarzenia. Część pierwsza. Młodość i praca inżynierska. Tom 2. Lata 1895–1900

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

The second volume of the first part of Jędrzej Moraczewski's Memories covers the years 1895–1900. The author takes readers to the Galician province, where he lived with his wife, Zofia Moraczewska née Gostkowska. Their first years together were a period of frequent relocations entailed by the nature of engineer Moraczewski's work on the construction of state railways. In Memories, the author portrayed the people he met – both those directly influencing him as well as others, widely known in Galicia at that time due to the position they held or to their social or political activity. Compared to the previous volume, reports from the life of a young, intellectual couple, struggling with everyday problems, prevail here. There are also descriptions of provincial entertainment and ways of spending free time – cycling and sightseeing trips, social meetings, performances by amateur theaters and attempts to animate the local social elite which included the Moraczewski family.

AUS DER WELT DER SÜDSLAWEN. Politisches, Historisches, Sozialistisches, nebst zwei Südslawienfahrten und Nachdichtungen südslawischer Lyrik

Author(s): Carl Max Ludwig Hermann Wendel / Language(s): German

published by: J. H.W.DIETZ NACHFOLGER, BERLIN //When Friedrich FG Kleinwächter says in his far too little read, very informative book “The Downfall of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy” that Europe knew more about Japan and India than about the South Slavic countries of the Habsburg Empire, the South-Slavic world still today is not in the bright midday light of being known. // In Germany, too, there is often an almost encyclopedic ignorance about the southern Slavs, although they come across our tribal territory on a broad front and one day they will also be our border neighbors in the state; Gone are the days when a Jakob Grimm, an Alexander v. Humboldt, a Leopold v. Ranke were eager to gain an understanding of South Slavic matters. // This regrettable fact - more regrettable for us than for the southern Slavs - justifies the summary and publication of treatises which, whether they have been in "Society" or "Wage", Viennese, workers' Newspaper ”,“ Frankfurter Zeitung ”or“ Prager Presse ”have appeared, are based on knowledge of the subject, strive to penetrate the subject matter and are carried by the will to objectivity.

FONTES RERUM SLAVORUM MERIDIONALIUM. LITTERAE ET COMMISSIONES RAGUSINAE. Editi cura GEORGIUS TADIĆ

Author(s): / Language(s): Serbian,Latin,Italian

Due to its geographical position and centuries-old connections with the foreign world, Dubrovnik was able to collect very interesting data about the own country as well as many other countries and to archive important historical documents. In the archives of their country, the people of Dubrovnik very early began to keep it carefully and keep it in order. That is why today the Dubrovnik Archive preserves the most important and numerous sources not only for the knowledge of our domestic history, but also for the examination of the past of a large part of the Balkan countries. // This volume is part of the project of the Serbian Royal Academy to systematically publish all important series of historical documents of the Dubrovnik Archives. This priceless and immense treasure will bring new light to many issues of our national and general history, and will certainly give a strong impetus not only to domestic, but also to general historical science. The Dubrovnik Archive and its centuries-old wealth of documents will only now receive the price it deserves. Scientists from all over the world can equally and completely use what the Archive hides. True, some of all this has been published so far, but, with rare exceptions, it has been unsystematic and incomplete. Either parts of individual series or only documents related to certain issues were taken. Complete series, without any releases, are only now starting to be published, and thus save from eventual decay. // THIS VOLUME HAS BEEN PUBLISHED in 1935 by the SERBIAN ROYAL ACADEMY as Volume III, Book IV of its series ЗБОРНИК. ИСТОРИЈУ, ЈВЗИК И КЊИЖЕВНОСТ СРПСКОГ НАРОДА (PROCEEDINGS. HISTORY, LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE OF THE SERBIAN PEOPLE).

Titova zaostavština

Author(s): Tamara Kaliterna / Language(s): Serbian

U petak se u Beogradu sudski raspravljalo o Titovoj zaostavštini. „Farsa koju je vlast organizovala kako ne bi izgledalo da je samo država nešto stekla nakon Titove smrti“, rekao je na ročištu Josip Joška Broz, unuk. Osim Joške, predsednika vanparlamentarne Komunističke partije, na ročište je došla njegova sestra Zlatica. Jovanka, Titov sin Miša, unuci Svetlana i Edvard poslali su zastupnike.

Bauk Jugoslavije

Author(s): Viktor Ivančić / Language(s): Croatian

Što je manje Jugoslavena na popisima stanovništva, to je više Jugoslavije na usnama hrvatskih nacionalista. Što je Jugoslavija u većoj mjeri bivša, to je hrvatskim nacionalistima aktualnija i potrebnija. Rijetki preostali Jugoslaveni ni izbliza toliko ne žude za Jugoslavijom kao oni koji bi ih – da nije bizarnih civilizacijskih tekovina i međunarodnih obligacija – bez suvišnih premišljanja dislocirali u plinske komore.

Jugosloveni između asimilacije i otpora

Author(s): Vladimir Ilić / Language(s): Serbian

Zabrinjava odsustvo interesovanja međunarodnih organizacija za predstojeći popis stanovništva u Srbiji. Nekadašnjih milion dve stotine hiljada nacionalno deklarisanih Jugoslovena u Jugoslaviji istopilo se na osamdeset hiljada na poslednjem popisu stanovništva u Srbiji, i na manje od stotinu na popisu u Hrvatskoj. Zbog čega su se pojavile ovako drastične razlike?

Titov default

Author(s): Vuk Perišić / Language(s): Croatian

Svako bavljenje historijskom ulogom Josipa Broza Tita ne može zaobići antifašistički ustanak 1941. i otpor staljinizmu koji je započeo 1948. Ipak, Četrdesetiprva i Četrdesetiosma ne daju odgovor na pitanje po čemu je Broz bio doista velik. Odluka o antifašističkom ustanku je bila hrabra, ali je bila i posljedica jedne strašne historijske situacije koja je nametala radikalne odluke. Valjalo je stati na stranu čovječanstva i civilizacije ili se predati nacističkom zločinu i ludilu. Utoliko 1941. izbora i nije bilo. Izbor nije postojao ni 1948. Zaboravlja se da je sukob inicirao Staljin. Titu nije preostalo ništa drugo nego da svoju državu, partiju i vlast očuva svim sredstvima i pod svaku cijenu, a nije bila riječ samo o vlasti nego, kao i 1941., o fizičkom opstanku. Utoliko su mitske 1941. i 1948. i manje zanimljive. Ovdje nas zanimaju Brozove odluke donijete u situacijama u kojima je postojala alternativa i koje su ujedno predstavljale radikalan politički i ideološki zaokret.

Školska istorija

Author(s): Dubravka Stojanović / Language(s): Serbian

Udžbenici istorije su u Srbiji, od početka ratova u bivšoj Jugoslaviji, menjani dva puta. Prvi put, u vreme Slobodana Miloševića, 1993. godine, u jeku rata u Bosni i Hercegovini. Drugi put, posle pada Miloševića sa vlasti 2000. godine, posle početka „demokratske tranzicije“. U oba slučaja motivi za promenu udžbenika bili su politički. Prvi put, promena udžbenika bila je posledica potrebe da se istorija koja se dogodila prilagodi istoriji koja je u toku, da se ratovi koji su se upravo dešavali stave u istorijski kontekst koji je trebalo da bude neka vrsta opravdanja.[1] Drugi put, promena udžbenika bila je rezultat nesigurne potrage za novim, demokratskim identitetom, koji se tražio, pre svega, u potpunom raskidu sa svim prethodnim paradigmama koje su se vezivale za „nenarodni režim“, pa samim tim, i za „staru istoriju“.

Pjevaj, vojsko: od Wardaka pa do Kabula, od JNA pa do NATO-a

Author(s): Boris Dežulović / Language(s): Croatian

Kad je na kraju pao i sam balkanski Pijemont, kad je služenje obaveznog vojnog roka – onoga što se u jugoslavenskoj ekonomiji nazivalo “vraćanjem duga domovini” – ukinuto i u pretorijanskoj Srbiji, moglo je izgledati da smo konačno završili dugačku, predugačku balkansku mužjačku priču, onu koja bi započinjala lozinkom: “A gdje si ti bio u vojsci?”

Polityk dwóch epok. Działalność publiczna Tadeusza Matuszewicza (1765—1819)

Author(s): Dominika Rychel-Mantur / Language(s): Polish

"So Poland will rise" - these words, which have passed into the pages of historiography, were uttered by Tadeusz Matuszewicz at the beginning of Napoleon's war with Russia in 1812. Matuszewicz was one of the most prominent Polish ministers of the first half of the 19th century. He began his political career under the protectorate of Prince Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski during the Four Years' Sejm. Both Czartoryski's protection and the times in which he had to live had a huge impact on Matuszewicz’s personal fate and public activity. Ambitious, energetic and hard-working, Matuszewicz was often at the centre of the most important events and acted an important role in them. He reached the apogee of his political influence in 1812 as the Minister of Revenue and Treasury of the Duchy of Warsaw. At that time, on Napoleon’s orders, he organized the Sejm and established the General Confederation of the Kingdom of Poland. He put the finances of the Duchy of Warsaw in order and laid the foundations for the subsequent reforms of Franciszek Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki. Matuszewicz’s main aim was to rebuild and restore the independence of the Republic of Poland, for which he served, often sacrificing his own interests or good name.

Historia, płeć i władza

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

The book is a continuation of the author's previous research on Spanish football in historico-cultural and political-media contexts. Unlike the previous two parts, which dealt with men's football, this one is entirely devoted to women's football, more specifically to the history of its break with the patriarchal paradigm strongly embedded in Spanish society. Analysing women's football in terms of Spain's historical development and the changes in the understanding of gender within the discourse of power, the author shows the difficult path that female footballers, referees, coaches and journalists have followed from the private (domestic) sphere, in which they were confined by the male discourse of power in the twentieth century, to the public sphere, in which, in the twenty-first century, they have gained such a position that they have become capable of producing a counter-narrative to this discourse.

Życie prywatne Polaków w XIX wieku. Śmiech, humor, satyra. Tom 12

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

W pierwszym odruchu dziewiętnaste stulecie zdaje się być pozbawione poczucia humoru. Emocjonalny odbiór epoki przywodzi skojarzenia z obrazami cierpienia, niezgody, buntu, smutku, tęsknoty. Wyobrażenie o stanie psychiki społeczeństwa polskiego pod zaborami najczęściej wiążemy z melancholią – wynikającą z poczucia utraty wolności, mienia, bliskich osób, emigracji, będącą konsekwencją braku ojczyzny. A jednak Polacy w okresie budowania swojej tożsamości narodowej, walk narodowowyzwoleńczych, represji popowstaniowych, dynamicznie zmieniającej się rzeczywistości pod wpływem przemian społecznych, cywilizacyjnych, modernizacyjnych, gospodarczych i demograficznych nie byli pozbawieni poczucia humoru. Przeciwnie, humor, umiejętność prowadzenia dowcipnych konwersacji i zabawnych ripost były wysoko cenioną cechą mieszkańców ziem polskich. Humor i satyra pozwalały na oswojenie trudnej rzeczywistości i nierzadko stawały się formą oporu wobec autorytarnych systemów zaborczych. Śmiech stanowił narzędzie wyrażające cały wachlarz emocji: od radości i akceptacji po ironię, kpinę, szyderstwo, negację. Był to ważny i ceniony komponent „towarzyskości”. Przez szkiełko ironii obserwowano zmieniającą się rzeczywistość: wynalazki, innowacje techniczne, rozwój kolei, przenikające z Zachodu trendy kulturowe, modę, emancypację kobiet, ruchy polityczne i społeczne. W satyrze przedstawiano również trudne warunki egzystencjalne. Śmiech niwelował strach, krzepił Polaków w obliczu trudnych sytuacji, jednoczył. W prezentowanym tomie zachęcamy do spojrzenia na życie prywatne dziewiętnastowiecznych Polaków „cum humor”. Książka ukazuje, co w dziewiętnastym stuleciu Polaków bawiło, z czego żartowano, jakie były formy i rodzaje żartu, jakie zdarzenia prezentowano w obiektywie satyry, wreszcie jaką rolę odgrywały żart, dowcip, anegdota, satyra w życiu codziennym, prywatnym i publicznym.

Między konfliktem a koegzystencją. Natal i Zululand w latach 1824–1856

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

The book depicts the history of Southern Africa in a transition period, after the arrival of Europeans but before they became a dominant power in the region. It is a history in which Africans are still partners, not victims, and shape local realities not less than the newcomers. At the same time, it is a presentation of the process which led to the rise of the colonial order, albeit not yet in its final form. It shows the transformation of mutual relations but also of the regional balance of power.

Tadeusz Mazowiecki. Pisma i dokumenty. Protokoły posiedzeń rządu 1989–1991

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

Tadeusz Mazowiecki (1927–2013), the first non-communist prime minister of Poland after the Second World War, was undoubtedly a major figure of Polish political life of the second half of the twentieth century. This has spurred the initiative to compile a multi-volume edition of Mazowiecki’s scattered writings and documents connected with him, which would encompass the entirety of his time as a social and political activist. The minutes of Tadeusz Mazowiecki’s cabinet meetings comprise the second volume in a series of writings and documents associated with this politician, being published since 2023 by the University of Warsaw Press in cooperation with the University of Warsaw’s Tadeusz Mazowiecki Chair and Faculty of Political Science and International Relations. The publication coincides with the thirty-fifth anniversary of the swearing in of the first non-communist cabinet in post-War World Two Poland. This is the first time the minutes are presented to the public. A matter-of-fact, minimalistic record of key tasks faced and decisions made captures the character of the government’s meetings and workings. The minutes document the scale and pace of the introduced changes, showing what and when most important at a time when everything was changing and every change mattered. They trace the emergence of a democratic state after decades of authoritarian rule and of a free-market economy replacing a communist economy of scarcity. They detail all major international dealings of the cabinet, and are a source of information about present-day institutions, then in the making. Mazowiecki’s government laid foundations for a new Polish statehood – in a country devastated economically and politically by almost half a century of communist rule. It transitioned Poland from authoritarianism to democracy, and its economy from inefficient systemic poverty to free market. These reforms were not perfect, but they were revolutionary, though implemented in an evolutionary fashion. The fifteen months of Mazowiecki’s government proved enough to begin strategic changes in all areas of Polish life, changes that would be continued afterwards. They were not enough, however, for all these changes to be completed under Mazowiecki’s government – even though it is this government that was blamed for the errors and mistakes of the systemic transition, not its critics and successors. Tadeusz Mazowiecki was a man who attached great importance to the world of values. He perceived politics as acting for the sake of the common good. Today this no longer is a feature associated with politicians. This is all the more reason to offer a reminder that there was a time when politics could be done differently, and that this time was not that long ago.

W Katowicach się urodziła miłość do Syjonu. Konferencja Katowicka protosyjonistów w 1884 roku – źródła, wydarzenia, postacie, rocznice

Author(s): Barbara Kalinowska-Wójcik / Language(s): Polish

In November 1884, Katowice became an important location on the map of the emerging proto-Zionist movement. Delegates from the Lovers of Zion Movement, known as Chovevei Zion, gathered in the city to decide on supporting the settlement initiative in the Land of Israel and seeking international support for it. This work presents the circumstances leading to the decision to hold the conference in Katowice. It explains the direct and indirect reasons for choosing this location and why the representatives of the local Jewish community were so actively involved in organizing the meeting. The publication includes appendices that critically edit the translations of the conference protocols from 1883 and 1884, as well as jubilee publications from 1909 and 1934.
