Le Romantisme Albanais dans le Contexte Balkanique et Europeen

Author(s): Jorgo Bulo / Language(s): French Issue: 01/2002

L'Albanie s'est trouvée dans le croisement des routes entre l'Orient et l'Occident, dans le croisement des cultures orientales et occidentales et dans le croisement des intérêts géopolitiques des empires de l'Orient et de l'Occident. Cette situation ne pouvait pas passer sans laisser de traces même dans l'histoire et la civilisation, dans la culture et la littérature Albanaise.

Dziedzictwo kulturowe Gdańska. Zespół śródmiejski a miejska polityka historyczna

Author(s): Łukasz Bugalski / Language(s): English,Polish Issue: 03/2015

The current municipal historical policy of Gdańsk focuses on the realization of two crucial museum undertakings purported to be a unique materialization of the city’s cultural heritage. Their underlying narration, which is told from the European perspective, bases on two great events of the 20th century and seems to disregard the cultural heritage encoded in the urban structure of downtown Gdańsk. But it is precisely this specific urban structure that exerts the strongest influence on the local identity of Gdańsk citizens and the quality of their life. So far the discourse on architecture in Gdańsk has been shaped by the dualistic debate between “tradition” and “modernity” founded on the division into pre-war and post-war accomplishments. This relation does not take full advantage of the possible ways of reading the cultural heritage of Gdańsk and should be replaced by at least three narrations: the historic city, Prussian Danzig and Polish Gdańsk. Only a properly deciphered cultural heritage of the urban complex of downtown Gdańsk can serve as a foundation for outlining a new and more mature municipal and spatial policy of Gdańsk.

Varna İlinde İsmi Değiştirilen Türkçe Yerleşme Adları

Author(s): Beycan Hocaoğlu / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2016

Toponymy is a useful and important tool for the national states in order to legitimize their territorial existence and occupation. Bulgaria, such like other newly founded national states in Balkan Peninsula throughout the 19th century, has begun to change the toponyms which indeed signify to the evidence of the long lasting Turkish – Ottoman existence in the region. Today, it is almost impossible to trace back settlements according to their Turkish original names through contemporary maps and official records, yet various Turkish place names are still in Turkish social memory and historical records. The main aim of this study is to create a map of the settlements in the nineteenth-century Bulgarian province of Varna and to identify and indicate their original names.

Konflikt pamięci na pograniczu polsko-białoruskim na przykładzie działalności Romualda Rajsa ps. „Bury”

Author(s): Anna Moroz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 05/2016

This article is devoted to the presentation of different narratives associated with the figure of Romuald Rajs – a member of the armed underground, who is currently in the pantheon of “Cursed Soldiers”. However, he also participated in the murder of haulers and in the pacification of the few Belarusian villages during which women and children were also killed. The existence of two different “legends” about this character, which can be found on the Polish-Belarusian borderland is the main reason for tensions – related to the memory of the war and the days immediately after it – between Belarusians and Poles, and more broadly, Orthodox and Catholics. The figure of “Bury” is at the root of the conflict between the memories of the above-mentioned groups and we can assume that this may affect on worsening of Polish-Belarusian relations in Podlasie. In the article, except to explain what is the collective memory and a memories conflict, I describe the figure of Rajs – the most important facts of his life, especially those, that are the essence of the dispute for the sake of their different interpretation.

140 de ani de la naşterea acad. prof. Hans Stille, membru de onoare al Academiei Române

Author(s): Teofil Gridan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 9/2016

Hans Stille (1876–1966) was one of the defenders of some important geological outlooks of the 20th century, such as the concept of Earth’s cycles, orogenesis and epeirogenesis, folding phases or of geosynclines. He distinguished two major divisions of the geological time: the Protogàikum and the Neogàikum. He divided the last one in Geotectonic eras, each of them being divided in different „tectonic phases”. The geosynclines rep resented for Stille mobile zones, seated within the continents, in areas where the crust was „regenerated” („remobilized”). In the Carpathians, Stille considered two geosynclinal areas sep arated by the „Rückland”. He stressed out the existence of the Cimmerian tectonic phase in the Carpathians. He proposed a „forerunner” genetical model for the Carpathians Neogene vol canics, connected to the underthrusting of the Foreland.

Spatial layouts of the Josephine villages in Galicia

Author(s): Monika Cepil / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The main aim of the article is to analyse the spatial layouts of selected settlement areas of the Josephine villages on the territory of former Galicia. After a short introduction on the legal aspects of demarcating of new villages, the primary forms of settlements were studied. In the first part of the article, the analyzes covered the following layouts of settlement areas: one-sided linear villages, two-sided linear villages and street-green villages. In the further part of the article, multi-road layouts were presented, including two- street layouts, radially -p lanned layouts, lattice chessboard layouts and cross-shaped layouts. The comparative analysis covers the discussion of all available types of settlement areas. Street layouts turned out to be the dominant pattern of settlement areas. After in-depth analyses, it is impossible to determine the regionalization of the linear villages’ distribution, as they were located throughout Galicia. The situation is different with the location of multi-road layouts, which were designed only in Eastern Galicia in the vicinity of Lviv. In the implementation of the assumed research problem, cartographic materials and source documents in the form of the Josephinian Cadastre, the Franciscan Cadastre and the Galician Cadastre obtained during searches conducted at the National Archives in Krakow, State Archives in Przemyśl and the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv were used.

ПРЕТСТАВИТЕ ЗА ЕДНО МИНАТО: SEYAHATNÂME ВО МАКЕДОНСКАТА ИСТОРИОГРАФИЈА

Author(s): Petar Todorov / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 1-2/2011

This text depicts images of the Macedonian past. The images of the Macedonian past have been being built based on the data found in the travelogue written by the writer of travel books Evliya Celebi (SEYAHATNÂME). Therefore, an analysis of the academic historical texts, historical texts intended for a wider audience and an instance of the contemporary political context has been made. The questions I am trying to give answers to refer to the character of the narratives in the analyzed texts. One can notice that in the interpretation of Celebi’s data, there is a direct or indirect building of a narrative that has a mythological character (Myth of a Glorious Past). There is also an absence of a full analysis of Celebi’s data, whilst argumentation in texts is built up throughout their rewriting.

Lokalizacja kościołów i cmentarzy we wsiach józefińskich na terenie województw małopolskiego i podkarpackiego

Author(s): Monika Cepil / Language(s): Polish Issue: 25/2019

The article presents the results of research on the location of churches and cemeteries in Josephine villages in the Lesser Poland Voivodship and Subcarpathian Voivodship. Detailed analyzes covered selected rural settlement units on a case-study basis. In the first part of the article, aspects of the genesis of the distribution of churches and cemeteries in the study area were examined while extracting the characteristic types of distribution of the analyzed objects. The further part of the study presents the location and distribution of churches and cemeteries in the contemporary landscape of the studied villages.

Zmiany zagospodarowania Wilamowa w okresie staropolskim

Author(s): Tomasz Figlus / Language(s): Polish Issue: 22/2022

This paper presents the results of geographical and historical research concerning the development of the village of Wilamów in Szadek municipality. The village belonged to the royal estates, but for most of the surveyed period it remained under the tenancy of the nobility. The study analyses socio-economic changes using tax registers, inspection records and inventories of royal estates, as well as the oldest cartographic records. The study takes into account the size of the village, its demographic potential and agrarian structure, the scope of feudal obligations, types of land use, and the level of income.

Przemiany przestrzenne łańcuchówek na Podhalu

Author(s): Monika Cepil / Language(s): Polish Issue: 168/2022

The article presents the results of research on spatial changes of the forest-field villages in the Podhale. The main goals of the work were: to show the initial character of forest-field villages and to examine the spatial changes that took place in the analysed settlements in the Podhale. Based on the collected literature and cartographic sources, a hypothesis was made: the layout of the old chain systems in the Podhale remains legible today in the countryside landscape. According to the research carried out, some characteristic features were shown in the forest-field villages of the Podhale. At the initial stage, all the systems analysed had a habitat, delimited in one or two-sided built-up or alternating manner, the shape of the habitat lowland was influenced by the natural conditions. The transformations of the planning forms and the changes in rural systems were the result of many factors, the most important of which was the development of tourism. One of the most important morphological changes is the transformation of one-sidedly built-up villages into two-sided built-up villages. The changes that took place within the examined villages clearly contributed to the internal density of the houses as a result of land parcelling. Due to the development in some of the analysed rural settlements, the original spatial arrangement is disturbed by delimiting new habitats within the former runners, entering the extension on the other side of the road, and creating new buildings along the old dirt roads. In some cases, the boundaries of the former habitat are blurred due to the adherence to the neighbouring settlement as a result of the spread of buildings.

Geospatial Features of Historical-Geographical Formation and the Current State of the Forest Massifs of Busk Forestry (Ukraine)

Author(s): Bohdan Havryshok,Myroslav Syvyi,Petro Demyanchuk,Nataliia Lisova,Myroslava Pytuliak / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The purpose of this article is to investigate the species composition, age structure, and economic utilization of forest plantations in the Busk forestry. The practical importance of such research increases in the context of administrative reform and land resource management in newly created communities and announced consolidations of forestry enterprises in 2021. The research used various time-based cartographic materials, which allowed to trace the development of typical forest massifs from the end of the 18th century to the present day. The study was conducted for four time periods. The proposed study was carried out by processing statistical materials of the Busk forestry. Based on this data, cartographic schemes of species composition, age structure, and timber stock were constructed and analyzed by forestry. It was established that the characteristic features of forestry in the region are: uneven forest cover of the studied territory; significant fragmentation of the forest fund in the southern part of the forestry territory; location of large forest massifs in the northwestern part of the forestry; dominance of such tree species as pine, oak, and alder in the forest stands; insignificant increase in forest cover in individual territories due to the creation of pine tree cultures on unproductive lands and active expansion of black alder forests in over-moistened pastures. The division of the forest fund into categories has been studied. It has been established that the largest share of the forest fund of the Busk forestry is occupied by exploitable forests. Protective forests account for 1.5% of the total forest area in the studied region. The forest supply per capita in the Krasne territorial community is on average 0.12 ha/person, while in Busk it is 0.61 ha/person.

Zasięg kontaktów społecznych na polskiej wsi w XVIII wieku. Przykład parafii Rzezawa

Author(s): Patryk Kuc / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2022

The article estimates Polish villagers’ spatial range of contacts in the eighteenth century. This phenomenon is presented on the example of the parish of Rzezawa, which in the analysed period included several villages located north-east of Bochnia. The analysis was conducted based on the books of metric records, land bequests and transactions. The analysis results suggest that the local communities’ geographical horizons were small. Most interactions occurred within the boundaries of the primary administrative and ownership units, such as the parish or the district office. Any contacts at much longer distances were exceptions, perhaps related to local elites’ social and economic activity.

The foundation of San Miguel de Colera: Territorial policy and agricultural colonisation in Spain under Charles III (1768–1771)

Author(s): Pablo de la Fuente de Pablo / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2022

The article examines the process that led to the foundation of San Miguel de Colera, a Spanish town officially established in 1770 on the French border. The founding of San Miguel de Colera was the result of actions taken by Isidro Ferrán, a landowner who was interested in expanding viticulture and wine production in the Colera Valley, which led to serious problems with the San Quirico Monastery who had jurisdiction over the area. Ferrán got his way with the support of King Charles III, turning a simple clearing of land into a planned and regulated process of urbanisation of a previously uninhabited area lying on the border of the state, which was a merit for the Crown for which he was raised to the rank of nobility.

Granice oraz struktura terytorialna diecezji łuckiej od początku XIX wieku do 1939 roku

Author(s): Joanna Kumor-Mielnik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2022

In the period from the nineteenth century until the outbreak of the Second World War, the Diocese of Lutsk not only changed its boundaries, but after the nineteenth-century stagnation in the formation of parish structures and even their regression due to the suppression of Latin parishes, their dynamic development took place after the First World War. An intensive increase in the construction of churches and chapels accompanied this process. The dynamism of the changes taking place within the structure of the Diocese of Lutsk was conditioned by many factors and had a broad political, social, and cultural context.

“The Range of the Future”: An outline of the development history of ski tourism in the Western Bieszczady Mountains in the 1930s

Author(s): Michał Organa / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2022

In the early 1930s, the Western Bieszczady Mountains were yet to become a popular destination for skiing. However, thanks to the efforts of tourist and skiing organisations, attempts were made to promote the area as an attractive place for skiing tourists. This was done through cooperation with the railway and offers of special discounts for skiers who were members of organisations such as the Polish Ski Association (Polski Związek Narciarski), as well as the organisation of skiing holidays and stays.

Osadnictwo niemieckie i wołoskie na obszarze dawnych powiatów krośnieńskiego i jasielskiego w świetle twórczości ks. Władysława Sarny: przyczynek do badań nad wiedzą historyczną na przełomie XIX i XX wieku

Author(s): Martyna A. Zarzycka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2022

The article introduces the figure of Władysław Sarna (1858–1929) and his two texts devoted to the former counties of Galicia: Opis powiatu krośnieńskiego pod względem geograficzno-historycznym [Description of the Krosno County from geographical-historical perspective] (Przemyśl, 1898) and Opis powiatu jasielskiego pod względem geograficzno-historycznym [Description of the Jasło County from geographical-historical perspective] (Jasło, 1908). In the following part, the content concerning the legal and ethnic circumstances of the settlements and locations under German and Vlach laws contained in both works was analysed. Based on the information in the Descriptions and contemporary literature, a data-base was developed for each described settlement with the time of their appearance in historical sources and the law under which they functioned.

Projekt mapowania ekonomii królewskich w Wielkim Księstwie Litewskim w drugiej połowie XVIII wieku – cele, metody, efekty

Author(s): Stanisław Zawadzki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2022

The article presents a programme of mapping the Royal Estates in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the reign of King Stanislaus Augustus. Initiated by Antoni Tyzenhauz, the administrator of the Royal Estates in Lithuania, the programme was continued by his successors, Franciszek Rzewuski and Stanisław Poniatowski. It was intended to delineate the borders of the Royal Estates, classify the types of soil, and define the property relations to restore serfdom and distribute the new burdens of the population fairly. The methodology of field surveys and their results in a table and maps are described, and the progress of mapping the four Royal Estates was evaluated. The whole programme was not completed before the fall of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795.
