Autori ilmnemine stiilis: Sulev Keeduse "Georgica"

Author(s): Katre Pärn / Language(s): Estonian Issue: 03+04/2011

In the paper, I analyse the authorial style of Sulev Keedus. Authorial style is not defined as simply the formal pattern emerging from stylistic choices but also as an author's conceptual strategy that manifests itself through these stylistic patterns. Thus the formal aspects of style will be analysed in dialogue with the conceptual function they fulfil in a film.

Postcommunist Estonian Cinema as Transnational Cinema

Author(s): Ewa Mazierska / Language(s): English Issue: 03+04/2011

The article considers Estonian films made after the collapse of communism as examples of transnational cinema. It draws on Steven Vertovec's idea of transnationalism as pertaining to 'diaspora consciousness', marked by dual or multiple identifications and loyalties, arguing that the characters populating the films in hand absorb various influences, indulge in hybridised styles and identify themselves by other types of loyalties than those resulting from sharing the same national heritage. The essay discusses films both in the past and in the present, such as Men at Arms (2005, directed by Kaaren Kaer), All My Lenins (1997, directed by Hardi Volmer) and Revolution of Pigs (2004, directed by Jaak Kilmi and René Reinumägi), The Highway Crossing (1999, directed by Arko Okk), Set Point (2004, directed by Ilmar Taska) and An Affair of Honour (1999, directed by Valentin Kuik).

The Death of Dark Animation in Europe: Priit Pärn's 'Hotel E'

Author(s): Andreas Trossek / Language(s): English Issue: 03+04/2011

This article examines how the trend toward more socio-critical, 'dark' or artistically pretentious films, which developed in the Soviet Union more generally during the years of Mikhail Gorbachev's ascension to power, essentially culminated and also came to an end in Estonian animation with Priit Pärn's animated film Hotel E (1992). The article is based on a specific case study, an analysis of the film and the surrounding events, first by endeavouring to map out the broader historical and cultural context around Hotel E, and secondly by demonstrating the fact that the film can be viewed as the finale of many cultural processes that had been unleashed earlier: in the film, criticism of the powers-that-be of the late or 'mature' socialism, which was typical of the former Eastern Europe, is combined with the longing for the always virtually perceived West.

Poskytovatelé humanitární a rozvojové pomoci do Korejské lidově demokratické republiky

Author(s): Lenka Kudláčová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2014

With the outbreak of famine in the mid-1990s, the DPRK has become a recipient of humanitarian assistance. Immediately after the inception of aid flows, an extensive diversification of donors arose. The most important donor duo was the Republic of Korea and the USA. Japan, Russia, and the European Union all had important roles in the matter, and Switzerland had a very specific role in it. Meanwhile, the Chinese assistance obtained an entirely unique position. There was a temporary suspension of China’s assistance in the mid-1990s, but then it started again, and today, China is the DPRK’s patron. The aim of this article is to provide a comparison of the donors’ strategies and to outline the main trends of the assistance to the DPRK in the framework of the period of 1995–2012. The strategies of donorship have divergent tendencies, and in most of the cases, the donors preferred to make a strong effort to reach their political goals in the DPRK while providing humanitarian aid to it.

Analýza mnohostranných vyjednávání ve Světové obchodní organizaci

Author(s): Michal Parízek / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2014

The Doha round of negotiations in the World Trade Organization (WTO) constitutes one of the prime cases of current multilateral negotiations. But in the more than twelve years of the negotiations, little progress has been achieved. Given this, I ask whether there is at all any zone of possible agreement in the Doha round. To answer the question, I present a large new dataset on the negotiation positions of the almost fifty largest WTO members. The dataset is based on a manual coding of the statements by the member states’ ministers at the ministerial conferences in the years 1996–2011. After the aggregation and quantification of these data, a game-theoretical analysis is performed on them. On the basis of this analysis, I find a relatively large zone of agreement among the states and the Nash bargaining solution of their negotiations.

Vládnutí nestátních ozbrojených aktérů v selhávajících státech: Případ Hizballáhu

Author(s): Jan Daniel / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2014

Using the case of the Lebanese movement Hezbollah, the article deals with the phenomenon of the governance of non-state armed groups in failing states and the conditions for its emergence. It argues that one of the key requirements for the emergence and long-term preservation of a non-state armed group’s authority is its fulfillment of functions usually associated with the state (such as the provision of security, public goods and services and the legitimation of its authority) that the failing state is not able to provide. The study specifically shows how Hezbollah is able to substitute for or complement the Lebanese state in each of its functions and consecutively use the wide network of its governance institutions for strengthening its political authority. As a result of Hezbollah’s practices and strategies of governance, the forms of political control of the territory are being gradually changed and hybridized.
