The volume Historični seminar 14 ('Historical Seminar 14'), issued in the time of transformed reality of what we knew and took for granted, draws attention to the fact that the image we cultivate of ...ourselves and our history may sometimes be too simplified to be entirely real. At first, the volume both revises already known chapters of Church history and introduces hitherto unknown ones. Simon Malmenvall’s analysis of the characters of the noble martyrs Boris and Gleb, Jovan Vladimir, and Magnus Erlendsson shows how the stories of their martyrdom had a nation-building function. Celeste McNamara’s article on Giovanni Barbarigo introduces the unusual and less well-known topic of seventeenth-century missions. Monika Deželak Trojar analyzes in detail Johann Ludwig Schönleben’s German and Latin Lenten sermons. Aleš Maver’s article discusses why Latin disappeared so quickly from Slovenian churches after the Second Vatican Council. On the other hand, the pre-modern religious practices of nature worshippers in Slovenia are discussed by Cirila Toplak. Modern times and also more political issues are examined by Tomaž Ivešić who focuses on the increase in ethnic tensions in Yugoslavia in the early 1970s, while Aleksandar Takovski traces the historical representation of heroic figures in four former Yugoslav countries.
This book is first and foremost a history of ruling-class diplomacy, but other factors are not ignored: the Bolsheviks, the Turks, and the insurgencies in Europe. This book provides detailed ...narrative and cogent analysis of the all that happened in Paris in 1919 and all that came out of it, with the aftermath of the peace process and the difficulty of avoiding war for twenty years. This book falls into two parts. Part 1 shows how the peacemakers and their successors dealt with the problems of a shattered Europe. The war had fundamentally altered both the internal structures of many of the European states and transformed the traditional order. The book shows that the management of the European state system in the decade after 1919, while in some ways resembling that of the past, assumed a shape that distinguished it both from the pre-war decades and the post-1933 period. Part II covers the ‘hinge years’ 1929 to 1933. These were the years in which many of the experiments in internationalism came to be tested and their weakness revealed. Many of the difficulties stemmed from the enveloping economic depression. The way was open to the movements towards étatism, autarcy, virulent nationalism, and expansionism which characterized the post-1933 European scene. The events of these years were critical to both Hitler's challenge to the European status quo and the reactions of the European statesmen to his assault on what remained of an international system.
Zánik bipolárního světa a zhroucení komunistických režimů vyvolalo nebývalou mobilitu lidí a předznamenalo novou fázi evropských migrací. Východoevropanům se již nenabízela pouze „svoboda odejít“ na ...Západ, nyní mohli „svobodně odejít a vrátit se“. V tomto textu se zaměřím na genderované transnacionální, přeshraniční praktiky a schopnosti Středoevropanů a Východoevropanů, kteří jsou takzvaně v pohybu a kteří využívají svou prostorovou mobilitu k přizpůsobení se novému kontextu postkomunistické transformace. Zabýváme se zde praktikami, které se velice liší od těch, jichž se většinou týká literatura o „přistěhovaleckém transnacionalismu“. Místo toho, aby spoléhali na vytváření transnacionálních sítí jako prostředku zlepšení svých podmínek v zemích svého usazení, mají tito lidé sklon „usazovat se v rámci mobility“ a zůstat pohybliví „tak dlouho, jak můžou“, aby zlepšili anebo zachovali životní úroveň doma. Zkušenost migrace se tak stává jejich životním stylem, jejich opouštění domova a odchod pryč paradoxně strategií zůstávání doma, a tudíž alternativou k tomu, za co se migrace obvykle považuje – k emigraci/imigraci. Přístup k mobilitě a její řízení jsou genderované a závislé na institucionálním rámci. Mobilita coby strategie může posilňovat, představovat zdroj a nástroj sociálních inovací a jednání a také důležitý rozměr sociálního kapitálu – pokud nad ní mají migranti kontrolu. Mobilita může ovšem odrážet i zvýšené závislosti, nárůst počtu nejistých pracovních míst a absenci pohybu a svobody, jako je tomu v případě obchodu se ženami.
Určení vztahu mezi hrnčířským vypalovacím zařízením a keramikou, která se nachází v jeho prostorovém kontextu, představuje klíčový krok pro poznání způsobu využívání daného typu zařízení a v dalších ...návaznostech též pro studium organizačních forem hrnčířského řemesla. Článek se zabývá možnostmi studia vztahu hrnčířských pecí z doby laténské a keramických souborů z jejich výplní. Definuje hypotetické vazby mezi keramikou a komplexem pece, počínaje nevyzvednutými vsádkami a konče soubory tvořenými běžným sídlištním odpadem, a vyvozuje archeologické důsledky daných vztahů. Pro interpretaci vazby mezi jednotlivými soubory a vypalovacími zařízeními se jeví jako vhodná zejména kvantitativní analýza jejich typologické a technologické skladby spolu s analýzou fragmentarizace dochovaného materiálu provedená v kontextu ostatních keramických souborů daného naleziště. Aplikace takových postupů je představena formou případových studií zaměřených na vybrané situace pocházející z oppida Staré Hradisko, k. ú. Malé Hradisko, okr. Prostějov, a z rovinného sídliště v Hostivicích, okr. Praha-západ. Získané výsledky jsou diskutovány v rámci dalších poznatků získaných v širším kontextu střední Evropy.
U radu je analiziran pokušaj konstruisanja dominantnog diskursa o Karaševcima u jugoistočnoj Evropi, odnosno međusobni odnos između diskurzivnih praksi o pomenutoj zajednici u različitim državama ...koje pokazuju interesovanje za nju. Ova etnička zajednica ima veliki simbolički, a time i politički potencijal koji se može upotrebiti za oživljavanje nacionalne mitologije zainteresovanih nacija. Kroz uporednu analizu naučnih rasprava i naučno-popularne literature učinjen je pokušaj da se prepoznaju, izdvoje i sistematizuju svi faktori, sredstva i strategije koji se u pomenutom smislu koriste. Posebno je praćena promena u upotrebi dominantnih paradigmi, tj. odnos između istorijskog i aistorijskog pristupa.
This book analyses whether the EU’s drift towards European strategic autonomy presents a challenge or a window of opportunity for its small member states to advance their security interests. The ...volume presents small states’ perceptions of European strategic autonomy, highlighting their expectations and concerns. The chapters focus on the depth and breadth of European strategic autonomy, national security considerations, assessment of the impact on transatlantic relations, the expected outputs, and its potential impact on the EU’s institutional structure. It also shows how systemic circumstances and the interests of powerful states, either belonging to the EU (France, Germany, and Poland) or having a significant say in European security architecture (the US), establish opportunities and constraints for the small states to shape European strategic autonomy. In particular, the study focuses on the diverging interests of the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Hungary, and the Netherlands. It demonstrates that, in most cases, European strategic autonomy is perceived not as an alternative to NATO but as a supplementary element that could facilitate the development of national military capabilities, indigenous defence industries and resilience to non-military threats. Ultimately, the book suggests that national approaches towards European strategic autonomy mainly stem from pragmatic national security and foreign policy considerations, while largely ignoring grand strategic ideas. This book will be of much interest to students of European politics, security studies, and international relations.

Diversity of Belonging in Europe analyzes conflicting notions of identity and belonging in contemporary Europe. Addressing the creation, negotiation, and (re) use of diverse spaces and places of ...belonging, the book examines their fascinating complexities in the context of a changing Europe. Taking an innovative interdisciplinary approach, the volume examines renegotiations of belonging played out through cultural encounters with difference and change, in diverse public spaces and contested places. Highlighting the interconnections between social change and culture, heritage, and memory, the chapters analyze multilayered public spaces and the negotiations over culture and belonging that are connected to them. Through analyses of diverse case studies, the editors and authors draw out the significance of the participation or exclusion of differing community, grassroots, and activist groups in such practices and discourses of belonging in relation to the contemporary emergence of identity conflicts and political uses of the past across Europe. They analyze the ways in which people’s sense of belonging is connected to cultural, heritage, and memory practices undertaken in different public spaces, including museums, cultural and community centres, city monuments and built heritage, neglected urban spaces, and online fora. Diversity of Belonging in Europe provides a valuable contribution to the existing bodies of work on identities, migration, public space, memory, and heritage. The book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in contested belonging, public spaces, and the role of culture and heritage.
