The study presents and interprets two collections of Hungarian missionary photographs – photographs in the Ethnological Archives of the Hungarian Museum of Ethnography, and the photography bequest kept in the archives of the Hungarian Province of the Society of Jesus – in comparison with similar examples from other countries. The nearly six hundred photos in the Museum of Ethnography arrived in the country in 1896 from various missionaries operating across the world, responding to the call of Kispest vicar, Antal Ribényi. This is currently the oldest and largest known missionary photography collection in the country. The Jesuit collection was created 20-30 years later, between the two world wars. It is made up of photographs taken at the Hungarian Jesuit mission in Taming, and photographic materials created and used for the promotion of the missions, primarily associated with the Catholic Missions (Katolikus Missziók)magazine published by the order. Regarding the format and use, this collection– similarly to missionary photography elsewhere – comprises three basic groups of images: missionaries’ photo albums, projection slides for presentations, and images printed in various missionary publications. The study follows this tri- partite division, focusing on the subject matter of the images, as well as their composition, their visually conveyed messages, and their changes across time. It concludes that the photography associated with missionary activities and use of images was consciously designed as a communication tool to be used in an intercultural space, and it served multiple aims for various target groups.

The paper analyzes the role of Yugoslav state institutions in the processes of stimulating the emigration of Muslims to the Republic of Turkey and the obstruction of their repatriation. Although the focus is placed on the period of the early socialist republic, the period of the Yugoslav monarchy is also reviewed considering that there have been signs of continuity in state policies. The analyzed mechanisms and strategies of local administration towards the expatriation of Muslims are additionally illuminated by examples from oral history.

The paper is devoted to the perception of Kazan and Kazan province as the Russian East by French travelers. Astolphe de Custine and André Durand traveled to Russia in 1839. Custine, following the results of his visit to Russia, wrote the book “Russia in 1839” (La Russie en 1839). Duran captured the images of Russia in lithographs. The relevance of the research is due to the widespread opinion of Custine’s work as the beginning of the collective dislike of the West for Russia. The scientific importance is determined by the source study of the correlation of texts and artistic images on one topic. The study was performed to find out the impressions that Custine could get from Kazan as the oriental locus of the Russian Empire. As a means of verifying the alternative history hypothesis, nine Durand’s lithographs of Kazan were used. The results of the study include: the evolution of Custine’s ideas about Russia from the embodiment of the East to the phenomenon on the border of Asia and Europe; Custine’s emotional and intellectual discomfort as the cause of the hypercriticism of his book; Custine’s refusal to visit Kazan as a missed opportunity to see the eastern nature of Russia; Durand fixing the Islamic, Tatar realities in Kazan and Kazan province. The results obtained are important for the formulation and solution of the following problems: source study of synchronous and monocultural representations of textual and graphic visualization; research on Custine’s book “Russia in 1839” in connection with Durand’s lithographs; study of Kazan local history and everyday life.

Historically, the most significant changes in the demographical structure of Anatolia have occurred in the last 150 years. In the last two centuries of the Ottoman Empire, the territories began to shrink as a result of the weakening of the Empire, losing wars and thus, losing significant portions of lands. The region that was affected most from this territorial shrinking process was Anatolia, which was considered as a safe haven at the nucleus of the Ottoman Empire.It is a commonly held view that the Ottoman-Russian War of 1877-1878 (the War of ‘93) was a critical point for the demographic structure of Anatolia. As a result of the disastrous defeat suffered at the hands of the Tsarist Russia the Muslim populations of the Balkans immigrated en masse to the Anatolian territories. This immigration wave left lasting effects on the demographic structure of the Ottoman Empire while at the same time creating the opportunity for the Balkan nations to constitute their nation-states. The independence movements in the Balkans were followed by the political changes in the Caucasian region and the Muslims of Crimea and Caucasia began to flood into Anatolia in large numbers beginning in the 1860s. The new “national” Turkish state, founded after the War of National Struggle in the first quarter of the 20th century, has been well established on a sociological basis in terms of nation-building with the integration of the Muslim refugees from the Balkans and the Caucasus with the native Muslim population of Anatolia.This nation-building process of modern Turkey during the first half of the 20th century was closely examined by the American officials who compiled a social and demographic map of Turkey.

Jelica Belović-Bernadzikowska’s (1870–1946) life and work provide considerable insight into the conditions surrounding the new types of professional women of the early 20th century. Her extensive published work transcended categories of pedagogy, social commentary, feminism and ethnography and appeared in a variety of formats from fiction to academic writing. This essay deals with a brief portion of Belović-Bernadzikowska’s life; the period from 1902 to 1914, in which she successfully transformed herself and her public persona from a schoolteacher in the schools of Bosnia and Herzegovina into a respected ethnographer and expert on women’s textiles. This was not a voluntary transformation; she was forced into a new career in 1902 when she was relieved of her position as a teacher by the Provincial Government. How she accomplished a professional reinvention is the topic of this essay; but she experienced other personal and political changes as well – including a rejection of her native Croat patriotism in favor of greater sympathy with the Serbs. These reinventions took several years, but a significant signpost of her growing success appeared in 1909. At this point she began to write for the scholarly (albeit controversial) German-language journal, Anthropophyteia, published by the renowned Balkan ethnographer and sexologist Friedrich Salomo Krauss. With a growing reputation outside the Slavic lands, Jelica was on her way to achieving the academic, scholarly acclaim she craved. For a time, she hoped to break through the gendered barriers that restricted female writers among the Southern Slavs.
