Bosansko-humski krstjani u turskim vrelima (napomene)

Author(s): Nenad Maočanin / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

By the mid-16th century half of the Bosnian population converted to Islam. The interest for joining the Ottoman war machine that numerous groups within the population exhibited and the rise of new types of towns can, to a certain extent, enable the deciphering of this phenomenon. However, social, economic and financial elements are of even greater importance. Recently, it has been found that, even after the conquest, many slaves were taken from Bosnia to the Empire’s hinterland and this factor of insecurity could have instigated the convergence (this will be dealt with later). On the doctrinal level, specific affinities between krstjani and Islam could not have existed.

Bosanska povijesna stvarnost i njezini mitološki odrazi

Author(s): Srećko M. Džaja / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Zapadnjački promatrači prilika u Jugoistočnoj Europi nakon krvavog raspada Jugoslavije konstatiraju da u javnom i političkom životu narodâ Balkana odnosno Jugoistočne Europe povijest igra daleko istaknutiju ulogu negoli kod narodâ klasične odnosno Zapadne Europe. Tako engleski sociolog John B. Allcock u svom Tumačenju Jugoslavije, koje je po svoj prilici namijenio kao jednu vrstu Vade mecuma kroz balkanske prostore prvenstveno političarima i diplomatima, primjećuje sljedeće: Narodi južnoslavenske regije nose sa sobom svoju povijest ne samo kao objektivnu prošlost koja uvjetuje djelovanje u sadašnjosti, nego isto tako kao subjektivnu prošlost. Prošlost oblikuje njihovu svijest i pruža im građu iz koje oni pletu svoje predodžbe i o prošlosti i o budućnosti.

Da li je Bosni i Hercegovini potrebno stvaranje novih historijskih mitova?

Author(s): Jon Kvaerne / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Jedno od polazišta konferencije o historijskim mitovima održane u Sarajevu, u novembru 2002. godine, bilo je da su tvrdnje o historijskim događajima i procesima igrale, i još uvijek igraju, važnu ulogu u političkom diskursu zemalja bivše Jugoslavije.1 Međutim, opisi ranijih vremena koji su prožimali javni diskurs i politički život u tom dijelu svijeta vrlo često nisu i najbolje verzije koje nam stoje na raspolaganju. Često tu postoje alternativni opisi koji se u daleko većoj mjeri mogu nazvati “naučnim”, u smislu da uvode izvore koji nam stoje na raspolaganju a ne ignoriraju dobro znane činjenice ili aspekte predmeta zanimanja.

Uloga crkava u konstrukciji državotvornih mitova Hrvatske i Srbije

Author(s): Vjekoslav Perica / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Mitovi su, pored ostalog, materijal od kog se grade nacije. Nacija mora imati “nacionalnu” povijest a ova kao takva, “nacionalna,” ne može biti stvarna, dakle onako kako se doista dogodila, nego je mitološka, patriotska, skrojena tako da emocionalno veže ljude uz njihove nacije te osigura legitimitet strukturama vlasti. Kad se radi o “etničkim nacijama” poput Srbije i Hrvatske kojima će se baviti ovaj članak, mitološki temelji nacionalnosti su od gotovo krucijalnog značaja. Oni su povezani s poviješću etnosa (narod) koja je uvijek manje ili više mitska i mitološka kako u mitovima o prapočetku tako i u mitovima iz nedavne povijesti.

Poturica gori od Turčina: srpski istoričari o verskim preobraćenjima

Author(s): Bojan Aleksov / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Od samog postanka istorije kao discipline istoričari nastoje da svoja dela distanciraju od mitova, da ih raskrinkaju i istorijski interpretiraju. Ali iako daleko od proizvodnje mitova u antičkoj formi i značenju, istorijska dela takođe obiluju mnogim osobinama karakterističnim za mitove. Istoričari su skloni predrasudama, stereotipima, iskrivljavanju, preuveličavanju ili izostavljanju. Kao i kod mitova i u pisanju istorije se kompleksnost i višeznačnost određenog fenomena redukuje na jedno najčešće isključivo objašnjenje ili se interpretacije nude bez da se ikad jasno i svestrano formuliše problem. Najvažnija je ipak sličnost istorije sa mitovima u saznajnom monopolu koji imaju u definisanju etičkih i političkih načela jedne zajednice.

Приносът на генерал Георги Взов за историческата география и мемоаристиката

Author(s): Roumyana Choukova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

This paper is a historiographical analysis of Gen. Georgi Vazov's memoire-cum-travellogue titled 'In the Deserts of Central Asia'. It pinpoints the exceedingly valuable information about the history, the ethnic and religious identity of the region and mainly the Russian colonial penetration in Central Asia, the geopolitical relations between the two powers dominant in the region - Russia and the British Empire, and the dynamics of the borders, among others. It also follows the untraditinal approach of the military campaigns as a civilizational phenomenon expanding the outlook and the historical truthfulness of the nation. Parallels are sought between the linguistic and religious identity of Turkmens, Kalmyks, and Tajiks with first-hand tales about the distant ancient land of Bulgarians. Last, but not least, it comments on the participation of the general in the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. In conclusion, the paper speaks of Gen. Vazov's contribution to the treasury of Bulgarian historical geography and memoiristics.

Употребата на етникони в тракийските земи

Author(s): Georgi Mitrev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

As names and part of the system of names, ethnicons are characteristics for both ancient and contemporary societies. In the world of Ancient Greece where two names were used traditionally at the presentation of citizens, their given and their paternal names, these names complement the information about the origin of the persons which are also indicative of their native land. With the gradual establishment of Greek settlers in various parts of Thrace, after the age of antiquity these traditions also infiltrated Thracian territories. In the time of the Roman emperors, rising monuments with inscriptions spread among broader strata of the Thracian provincial population in Macedonia, Thrace, Moesia, Dacia, Bithynia and elsewhere. In these conditions, epigraphic heritage also began to include elements and influences coming from the living Thracian language. Against the backdrop of those processes and in relation to the different factors necessitating the use of ethnicons or other similar means to present origins, we see a tradition that is characteristic of Thracians and the Thracian language. The ethnicons that have reached to us are such that can be linguistically defined as Thracian in origin. The sources show that the Thracians also had their tradition in the use of ethnicons based on a model typical of their language. Those were twofold names with first or second root Dentu- or -dentes.

Látlelet a Monarchiáról

Author(s): Magdolna Orosz / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

Arthur Schnitzler was one of the most prominent representants of the so-called „Jung Wien”, i.e. the group of Vienna intellectuals, writers and artists around 1900. His dramatical and narrative works demonstrate characteristic traits, social, intellectual and aesthetical problems, and figu-res of the late k.u.k.-Monarchy, and although he was often considered as an author contributing to the „Habsburg myth”, he had a very sceptical and critical view about his time and the Vienna society of the turn of the century. Schnitzler’s works account i.a. for the ’language crisis’, the crisis of personality in a very special manner, and in his novellas he introduces experimental narrative tools (e.g. multiperspectivism, interior monologue, unreliability) which makes him to a prominently modern author.

Armenian Communities in The Middle East: Losing The Past in The Future?

Author(s): Hratch Tchilingirian / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The Armenian presence in the Middle East dates back to ancient times, with the ancestral homeland of Western Armenia being located today in the eastern regions of the Republic of Turkey. While the Armenians are indigenous in some parts of the Middle East, in other parts, they have formed diaspora communities due to a variety of historical circumstances. “Since history has no secret pockets and private laws, things Armenian are also things Near Eastern”, writes Seda Dadoyan, a leading scholar of the history of Armenian-Islamic relations. From the first century of the Christian era, there has been an Armenian presence in Jerusalem, when they came to Palestine as Roman legionnaires and administrators. There is a long and extensive history of “Armenian-Islamic realpolitik with Arabs, Turks, Persians, Kurds as well as heterodox Islam (such as Ismailism)”, according to Dadoyan. Medieval Arab sources provide extensive accounts of Armenians in the Middle East. Indeed, “Arminyah and al arman were presented [in the Arab sources] as indigenous elements of the Near East and the narrative did not single them out from the regional texture”, explains Dadoyan. Since the seventh century, Armenians “have been part of the Islamic world”, and part of what is now the Middle East and its peoples. In the late eighth century, heterodox Armenians allied with “the Muslims on the Abbasid frontiers lands”. More significantly, medieval Armenian histories put the origin of all treaties regulating Islamic-Armenian relations in the Medinan period of Islam (622-632) and see them through a “so-called ‘Prophet’s Oath to Armenians’ (allegedly given to an Armenian delegation from Jerusalem to Medianh)”.

Богатство: ценность или антиценность?

Author(s): Svetlana Šašerina / Language(s): Slovak,Russian,Old Slavonic,Old Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The Christian doctrine regulates human life, behavior, and relationships with relatives and strangers through the commandments. Breaking the commandments is considered a sin, and overcoming one’s own weakness leads to one’s betterment and one’s coming closer to God, which is ultimately the goal of every Christian’s life. The desire for wealth and well-being is characteristic of human nature, but the Bible says otherwise: “Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." (Luke 18, 25). This article examines the characteristics of the perception of wealth and work from the perspective of popular culture and religion.
