Балканските войни – един гръцки поглед от началото на ХХ век

Author(s): Yura Konstantinova,Dimitar Nitsov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

The Balkan Wars (1912–1913) triggered in Bulgaria and Greece unseen enthusiasm and hope for prosperity, as well as for the ‘liberation of our brothers living under yoke”. In the Bulgarian society the Balkan Wars have left a deep emotional trauma. But how does the Greek society evaluate these events? How durable are the Greek military victories and do they nurture new internal or external problems? How do the people in Greece evaluate their own contribution to the success in the Wars and how do they see themselves and their neighbors? What is the relationship between tradition and modernity and what is the place of humanism in this military clash? Is the image of the war undergoing a process of democratization?Seeking for the answers of these and other questions, we decided to present a Greek album from the period. The album is dedicated to the Balkan Wars and remains poorly known. We hope that the analysis of the illustrations in it will enable us to trace the attempt of the authors of the album to influence the audience and will thus allow to see the Balkan Wars through the eyes of the Greeks from the beginning of the 20th century.

Пътища за никъде: eвропейски политики за социално включване на ромите

Author(s): Elena Marushiakova,Veselin Popov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2017

In the last years, the “Roma topic” attracts an increasing interest and takes a fopemost place in the public sphere of united Europe; hence, the Roma policies become a significant challenge on national and European level. Before analyzing the contemporary political discourses about the integration and the social inclusion of Roma, however, it is obligatory to know very well the previously existing state policies toward the Gypsies from the time of their arrival in Europe in the Middle Ages until today. Since a great number of the Roma population continues to live in the countries of Eastern Europe, the policies of the states which formed the “socialist camp” after World War II are very important. The analysis of the existing main political discourses about the Gypsies/Roma (and mostly of their results) should be the basis for the analysis of the contemporary national and European discourses about the Roma policies. Based on this, the achievements and the failures of those policies may find explanation and some prognoses about their results (or the lack of such) could be made.

Author(s): Borislava Hadzhiyska,Vanya Micheva,Dimitar Apostolov,Simona Simeonova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The new Bulgarian damascenes are important moment of the development of the literary Bulgarian language. The use of vernacular in the damascenes restores the relation between literary and spoken language and incorporates the living Bulgarian language enriched with literary vocabulary and means of expression. Thus, Bulgarian literature becomes part of the pan-European trend for democratization of written languages. The goal of this paper is to perform a comparative analysis of the 6th commandment from the enlightening speech on the Ten commandments from the Tihonravov damascene with part of the introduction from Slavonic Bulgarian History from Paisius of Hilendar. The analysis aims to track the diverse developments of the literary Bulgarian language. The study is based on comparing morphological and lexical particularities. The results indicate that the language of the Tihonravov damascene comes very close to the vernacular of the period and the present day vernacular, which confirms the hypothesis that the words used in the new Bulgarian damascenes are also the foundation for the new Bulgarian literary language.

Author(s): Desislava Pileva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

This research deals with two topics concerning mixed parentage rearing practices in Bulgaria. On the one hand, it is the naming the offspring with regard to the name giver(s) and principles of name-choosing, deriving from parent(s)’ cultural heritage and affected (or not) by the living-in social environment. On the other hand, there is the matter of the non-Bulgarian language acquisition, whose development is a question of micro managing of each of the families (and in many cases of each of the partners). Parents’ decisions, regarding these topics, set the manner in which others look at the mixed offspring, as well as how the children accept themselves as bearers of two cultural backgrounds.
