Regard Sur Les Noms »Albanie« Et »Albanais« Au Moyen Âge

Author(s): Pëllumb Xhufi / Language(s): French Issue: 01/2002

Au IIe siècle de notre ère le géographe alexandrin Ptolémée informe sur l'existence d'une tribu illyrienne appelée Arbër, s'étendant entre Durrës et Ohrid. Au XIe siècle ce nom réapparaît dans l'ouvrage de l'historien byzantin Mihail Attaliati. Le vide de 9 siècles, pendant lesquels les Albanais n'apparaissent plus dans les sources historiques, du moins sous le nom ci-dessus, par lequel ils sont appelés encore aujourd'hui à l'étranger, a été assez suffisant pour provoquer un débat vif et mettre en question de tels problèmes clés comme le sont le caractère autochtone et la continuité illyro-albanaise.

Staropolska historiografia (post)kolonialnie rozdwojona?

Author(s): Łukasz Lipiński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 04/2016

The article outlines some basic issues in a post-colonial analysis of the historiography of Maciej Stryjkowski, whose attitude can be called both colonial and self-colonizing. Stryjkowski, the sixteenth-century chronicler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, presents his historiography as a repository of shortcomings, trying to convince his reader about a specific deficiency in Lithuanian historical writings, which, considering the colonial project of the Polish Crown at that time in relation to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and its formal crowning in the union of Lublin in 1569, may have represented an “orientalizing” gesture within the meaning coined by Edward Said.

Author(s): Constantin Drăgulescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 29/2015

Oft in Versform, Geheimnisrätsel bilden eine Gruppe Rätseln, die eine große Erfindungskraft und metaphorischen Reichtum zeugen. Während einer Zeitspanne von eineinhalb Jahrhunderten wurden mehr als 2200 derartige Rätsel gesammelt und veröffentlicht, die meisten von ihnen aus der Bukowina (mehr als die Hälfte), der Moldau, der Kleinen Walachei/Oltenia, aus Siebenbürgen/Transilvania und aus der Groβen Walachei/Muntenia. Die vorliegende Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die in Rätsel eingebundenen Pflanzen. Dabei geht es um 53 Arten von Wild- und Kulturpflanzen, die in den veröffentlichten Rätseln vorkommen. Hinzu kommen noch 12 Arten, die vom Verfasser selbst in den Kreisen Sibiu/Hermannstadt, Brasov /Kronstadt, Alba/Weiβenburg, Vâlcea, Olt und Teleorman gesammelt wurden.

“Društvo inžinira i arhitekata” i izdavanje atlasa Hrvatski građevni oblici

Author(s): Vesna Dubovečak / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2017

Since the late 19th century was marked by active efforts to register various Croatian professional terminology and terminology from everyday life in ru-ral Croatia, in mid-1884 members of the Croatian professional association of engineers and architects, following a proposal by Nikola Kolar, began collec-ting Croatian construction forms i.e. examples of traditional Croatian rural architecture on the territory of the Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia. The most active collectors were Josip Doljak, Martin Pilar, and Jan-ko Holjac, whose drawings of traditional architecture became the framework for an atlas that the association published only some 20 years later. The atlas Croatian Construction Forms (1904 – 1909) was published in five volumes of ten folios each and contained examples of traditional architecture from the Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia within the borders of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, while the final volume of the atlas also described a traditional house in Istria. Even though there was pressure from Vienna to publish descriptions of rural houses in Dalmatia among those of the Austrian lands, and those of houses in Slavonia under a special Slavonian coat of arms and under the patronage of the Austrian Society of Engineers and Architects, Janko Holjac and the other members of the Society of Engineers and Archi-tects in Slavonia and Croatia refused to allow this even if it meant the atlas would never be published. Mostly due to a lack of funds and a lack of examples of traditional architecture from all the counties, the atlas was published over a longer period of time. In order to acquaint as many people as possible with the architectural traditions of rural Croatia, the Society decided to simultaneously publish a German edition of the atlas under the title Das Bauernhaus in Kroati-en (Kroatische Bauformen) – Atlas. The architect Martin Pilar wrote an accom-panying book in German, entitled Das Bauernhaus in Kroatien (1911), but the Croatian translation of this book was never published due to a lack of funds.

„SEHARA BOŠNJAČKE KULTURE“

Author(s): Kemal Purišić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 43-44/2009

Poštovani sagovornici, I ova manifestacija bošnjačke kulture potvrđuje jednu tezu koju je prije nekoliko godina izrekao uvaženi profesor Muhamed Filipović u Plavu. Ona je otprilike saopštena ovako: „politika je polje različitosti a kultura je ono što vas spaja i drži zajedno“. Zahvaljujući organizatoru „Sehare“, evo imamo priliku da razgovaramo o ovim, jako važnim političkim temama. Složićete se da je mnogo pitanja koja traže valjani odgovor, pa time i mnogo izazova pred ovim Savjetom, političkim partijama i različitim organizacijama i angažovanim pojedincima.

A Collection of Papers “Iz istorije vojvođanskih Rusina do 1941. Godine” (From the History of Vojvodinian Ruthenians until 1941)

Author(s): Janko Ramač / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2016

The history of the Ruthenians (Rusyns) in Southern Hungary, later in Yugoslavia, was in the focus not only of the authors who were members of this national community, but also of Hungarian, Ukrainian and Yugoslav scholars and historians. In the socialist Yugoslavia the most significant contribution to the historiography of the Ruthenians in the Serbian language was the project of the Institute of History of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina – the papers of five historians with five different themes which are chronologically linked under a common title Iz istorije vojvođanskih Rusina do 1941. godine (From the History of Vojvodinian Ruthenians until 1941), published in the Almanac of the Society of Historians of Vojvodina in 1977. Although it has been more than four decades since the publication of this collection of papers, it has still not been critically presented and assessed. We think it makes sense and justification to present this work, even after long delays, at least in a basic outline, to show how much and in which direction it pushed the limits of new knowledge and to draw the attention of future researchers to some shortcomings, anachronistic and ideologically motivated attitudes and obvious material mistakes.

The Hereditary Enemy

Author(s): Jiří Rak / Language(s): English Issue: Spec./2016

In many ways, Jiří Rak’s historical essay matches Hroch’s analysis. Rak, similarly as Hroch, places myths and stereotypes at the centre of his investigation. In a provocative way, the author problematizes the construction of the Germans as the eternal enemy for the Czech nation. While focusing on the late 19th and early 20th century, Rak’s essay demonstrates the persistence and even certain “usefulness” of stereotypical images – because as Rak puts it, “in the Czech national consciousness, the Germans change nothing but their uniforms.”

Nemzetiségek a nemzeti történelemben

Author(s): Imre Tarafás / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 68/2017

The study examines the representation of ethnic minorities in historical monographs written by Ignac Acsady, Lajos Baroti, Vilmos Fraknoi, and Henrik Marczali in the Age of Dualism (1867–1918), as well as in the series edited by Sandor Szilagyi to commemorate the thousand-year anniversary of the Hungarian Kingdom in 1896. It focuses primarily on the historical vision stemming from the two main trends of the question of minorities – united political nation versus homogeneous nation state – as seen through the debate of Bela Grunwald and Michal Mudroň. The study continues with the marked role of the same issue in the programmatic texts of the increasingly institutionalising national historiography. After examining the careers of the selected historians and the circumstance of writing their works, the study analyses the representation of ethnic minorities in the narratives of the Magyar conquest of the Carpathian Basin and the 1848–1849 War of Independence, mainly focusing on the implicit definitions of the nation and the constructs formulated in opposition to minority narratives. Although there are differences between attitudes towards specific ethnic minorities, especially discernible in narratives about the War of Independence, the findings of the study suggest that the narratives correspond with those of the theoreticians of the nation state idea: they identify the concept of nation with ethnic and linguistic Hungarianness and represent ethnic minorities as passive participants in Hungarian history. It is, however, incorrect to label all the historians examined as wildly chauvinistic.

Porodična kuća Mujkanovića u Lukavici, na Delića Visu

Author(s): Fikret Konjić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 25/2008

Porodična kuća Mujkanovića u Lukavici, sa dvorištem i pomoćnim zgradama pravi je mali etnološki park. Nalazi se u mahali Delići (na južnim padinama Delića visa, 499 metara nadmorske visine), u neposrednoj blizini džamije, koju mještani zovu "donja", jer se nekoliko stotina metara naviše, nalazi još jedna, koju zovu "gornja".

Serhatlije – mala etnološka skica

Author(s): Fikret Ahmedbašić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 23/2007

U nedostatku pisanih tragova, vjerodostojnost nekih kazivanja o porijeklu imena naselja Serhatlije teško je provjeriti. Prema kazivanjima učitelja Rukiba Džananovića i još nekih starijih mještana ovog naselja, ime najvjerovatnije potiče od riječi perzijsko- arapskog porijekla „serhat“, koja je u naše krajeve prenesena preko turskog jezika u značenju: krajina, pogranični kraj, granica, kako piše i u Rječniku turcizama Abdulaha Škaljića (izdanje 1989., str. 560). Budući da se ne zna da li je kroz to naselje „prolazila“ neka granica u prošlosti, ima mišljenja da je naselje dobilo ime po najbrojnijoj familiji Serhatlića (serhatlija – graničar, krajišnik), za koju se smatra da je autohtona na tom prostoru, jer se ne zna ni kada su ni otkuda su doselili.

Dobrovoci - Gornji i Donji

Author(s): Fikret Ahmetbašić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 6/1998

U nedostatku pisanih tragova kao primarnih historijskih izvora, vjerodostojnost nekih kazivanja o porijeklu tog naziva danas je teško provjeriti. U knjizi "Gračanica i okolina u NOB-u i revoluciji" (Gračanica, 1988, str. 33) autori Esad Tihić i Omer Hamzić o tome su zapisali sljedeće: "Godine 1 716. predala se Austrijancima posada utvrđenog grada Do bora kod Modriče (od oko 200 ljudi). Njima je dozvoljeno da se povuku u Gračanicu, odakle se više nisu ni vraćali u Dobor, koji je otada pust. Članovi posade i njihove porodice naselili su se u kasabu Gračanica, grad Soko i njegovo podgrađe, a vjerovatno i na područje susjednih Doborovaca, otkuda možda potiče i naziv tog sela.

DIN ACTIVITATEA CATEDREI ŞI A SEMINARULUI DE ETNOGRAFIE ŞI FOLCLOR ALE UNIVERSITĂŢII. 1926-1951

Author(s): Ioan Toșa,Tudor Sălăgean / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2016

The authors present some aspects of the activity carried out by the Department and the Seminar of Ethnography and Folklore, in the context of celebrating nine decades since the inauguration. Setting up the Department was decided by the Commission for organizing the University of Cluj, but implementation of this decision was delayed by the lack of a material base (library, photograph library and film slide library), the lack of suitable space for seminar works, and not least because of titular’s absence. The authors further present the activity of the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania to create the material base, of the Romanian Ethnographic Society for research and exploitation of popular culture, and G. Vâlsan’s activity to train specialists. Finally, we presented courses held within the Department and the work done in the Seminar, indicating themes of the papers presented by students.

Ludvík Kunz a jeho pojetí etnografické muzeologie

Author(s): Otakar Kirsch / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2015

This paper analyzes the theoretical and practical work of Ludvík Kunz (1914–2005) in the fields of ethnography and museology during his tenure at the Ethnographic Institute of the Moravian Museum in Brno. Along with examining the basic theoretical tenets of Kunz’s holistic approach to ethnographic museology, we also trace the circumstances and motivation that led to their formulation during times of major societal changes. In the final section, we focus on the application of these theoretical concepts to the activities of his home institution, his broader work in the context of Czechoslovak museology and his tenure as university lecturer.

Salašný chov oviec v Detve a na Slovensku

Author(s): Juraj Janto / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2016

This paper analyzes the history of sheep raising in Slovakia and especially in the city of Detva and the surrounding region (Podpoľanie). The so-called Wallachian colonization in the 14th century introduced a new type of sheep raising centered around the salaš, an isolated farm unit, practiced predominantly in mountainous regions and focused on milk production. This change had a profound effect not only on the population‘s food production, but also on a number of aspects of the traditional culture (dress, household production, folklore, customs etc.) in most of the territory of present-day Slovakia. Indeed the elements of the imported salaš culture, adapted to local conditions and developed in idiosyncratic ways, have become some of the major ethnic identifiers of the Slovak people. In Detva, sheep raising has always been closely tied to the traditional way of life. The - for this region typical - predominance of isolated farms came about as an extension of the Wallachian salaš culture. The focus on sheep raising motivated by the availability of grazing land created a unique individual form of sheep raising specific for the region of Podpoľanie.

Et in Patria ego: средњовековни споменици у путописима из Србије с почетка XIX века

Author(s): Ivan Stevović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2017

The paper analyzes writings on medieval monuments in Serbia noted in a number of literary essays written after the Second Serbian uprising. Seeing as in prior historiographical accounts these data on Serbian antiques were mostly viewed from a positivist angle, when it comes to medieval research, or as a written echo of the encompassing national revival in the interpretations of newer artwork, special attention has been paid to specific authors, their intellectual origins and heritage with which they had firstly encountered monuments from the distant past, and to a specific cultural rift caused by the extent of their lack of knowledge on the fatherland of their ancestors. As opposed to texts by "domestic" authors such as Đorđe Magarašević and Joakim Vujić, the travelogue by the Prussian officer Otto Dubislav von Pirch reflects a clear awareness of European spiritual and material values of Serbian medieval history, displayed through the literary manner appropriate at the time.

Irano-Turcica: The Khazar sacral kingship revisited

Author(s): Peter Benjamin Golden / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2007

The ruling house and core tribes of the Khazar empire did not share the same tribal or, in many instances, ethnic origins as those of the Qağanate’s diverse subject population. The Khazar rulers were heirs of the Türk qağanal charisma. Although aspects of sacral rule and dual kingship can be seen in the Türk and other Inner Asian nomad-based empires, it was only in Khazaria that the Qağan became a sacralised, tabuised figure. This transformation occurred in the 9th century and may reflect the influence of the Ors, the Khwârazmian-Iranian guard of the Qağan and the chief minister drawn from their ranks.
