Obraz Polski w polityce historycznej Ukrainy

Author(s): Łukasz Jasina,Piotr Kościński,Daniel Szeligowski / Language(s): Polish

Na potrzeby niniejszego raportu autorzy przyjęli następującą definicję polityki historycznej: jest to przekaz polityczny na temat historii państwa i narodu propagowany przez władze państwowe i będący elementem polityki państwa. Historia i stosunek do niej w dużym stopniu kształtowały relacje polsko-ukraińskie po odzyskaniu przez Ukrainę niepodległości w 1991 r. Oprócz prób rozwiązania problemów politycznych czy gospodarczych oba państwa starały się, z różnym skutkiem, uregulować stosunek do kwestii kontrowersyjnych. Są to przede wszystkim rzeź wołyńska (1943–1944), akcja „Wisła” (1947), relacje między Polakami i Ukraińcami przed II wojną światową oraz stosunek do reżimów hitlerowskiego i komunistycznego. W związku z prowadzoną przez Ukrainę polityką historyczną napięcia w relacjach polsko-ukraińskich pojawiały się zatem od początku, zwłaszcza przy okazji rocznic zbrodni wołyńskiej w 2003 i 2013 r. Niemniej dopiero w 2016 r. doszło do poważniejszego kryzysu na tle stosunku do historii – na szczeblu zarówno politycznym, jak i społecznym.

INTERFERENŢE CULTURALE ROMÂNO-MAGHIARE

Author(s): Imola Katalin Nagy / Language(s): Romanian

This volume focuses on the problem of literary and cultural paraellisms between the Romanian and the Hungarian cultural and literary phenomena. Beyond some general aspects related to the topic, the first part is dedicated to the problem of intercultural communication between the Romanian and the Hungarian cultural milieu in the inter-war period, with a special emphasis on the issue of Transylvanianism. We try to identify the reasons for which this ideology failed to become one of the main facilitators of open communication between the Romanian and the Hungarian cultures. We also hint at some contemporary echoes of Transylvanianism and the changes that have occurred over the past few decades. We wanted to make a presentation of the main regional ideologies of the Transylvanian cultural and spiritual life in the inter-war period. The Hungarians’ Transylvanianism and the Romanians’ creative localism or ardelenism alike offered a wide range of key concepts and ideas that shaped/and were shaped by the cultural context of the time. Both regionalisms – Romanian and Hungarian – shared many of these concepts and ideas, although they had never really sustained an open and efficient communication, due to a series of causes. The shifts that occurred in the self-defining strategies, the communication breakdowns that characterized the relationships between the two cultural milieus and intellectual circles, the identity discourses that can be spotted in the media of that time, and the movement known as Transylvanianism are all approached with the purpose of identifying the causes that hindered (and perhaps still hinder) real and efficient communication between Romanians and Hungarians. We also attempt to offer an overview of the effects of the cultural and spiritual flourishing that marked the turn-of-the-century Vienna on the Romanian and the Hungarian cultural discourse. We focus on the most important phenomena that the Romanian and the Hungarian cultural discourses borrowed from the Viennese modernity at the turn of the century. Among these, one can cite the types of writers, literary topics (such as the theme of the Family, of strong women, the emergence of the human psyche in literature, the figure of the estranged, etc.). The second part of the volume is dedicated to the most important thematic parallelisms between the Hungarian and the Romanian prose writings, by analysing topics and/or motives like war, womanhood, wealth, freedom and the symbolism of the mountain, etc.

DYSLOKACJE. Studia o literaturze i innych dyskursach XIX wieku

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

The book Dislocations. Studies in Literature and Other Discourses of the Nineteenth Century addresses a range of issues related to nineteenth-century literary circulation with particular emphasis on literary works and journalistic and memorial texts. Assuming that the transmission of ideas and lifestyles in this era took a much more dynamic shape than in the pre-modern era, the author tries to diagnose the forms of experience typical of the nineteenth century. This period became a time of "great change," at least for some individuals and social groups, when old forms of existence collapsed and new ones only gradually emerged. Other communities experienced these changes to little or no extent. Due to the impossibility of synthesis, this characteristic coexistence of tradition and change is treated in the monograph from the point of view of case studies.

Legendy Ajnów z czwartej ręki

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

This publication presents Ainu people, a mysterious culture of the Far East. Ainu people have long inhabited the Japanese island of Hokkaido, hence the chapter is concerned with the social context and status they have in Japan. An important chapter of this publication presents Bronisław Piłsudski, who lived among the Ainu people for a long time. He studied their culture and language thoroughly, which was preserved on Edison’s phonograph, and this made him known to the Japanese (in fact, only after almost a century) and Ainu. A list of memorials and memorabilia associated with Piłsudski is also included in this publication. However, the most important aim of the study is presenting the legends of the Ainu people. The legends have been translated into Polish (from Russian, into which they were translated from Japanese) and annotated with linguistic and cultural commentary.

Ние, другите : Сцени от личния и обществения живот през XX век

Author(s): Ivan Stoyanovich / Language(s): Bulgarian

Ivan P. Stoyanovich belongs to the most remarkable men of spirit that the new Bulgaria has produced. Born into the world at the wrong time, he shone as far and as bright as he could, combining cinema, theatre, literature, music, administration and even family life. Ivan interpreted his renaissance past under a smile too wide to be able to save himself within it, and could not bend to become part of the totalitarian world that used him within the cage. Neither an opportunist nor a revolutionary, the System eventually killed him, but left us a legacy of an author with whom Arcadia became somewhat possible.

Sumarul numărului 3/4 al revistei noastre inaugurează o serie tematică inspirată de proiectul științific și formativ al Centrului de studii comparate central- și sud-est-europene, care se derulează pe o durată de trei ani (1999-2001): Identități solidare, identități divergente.
