This article traces the history of Polish research on the language, literature, culture and history of the Belarusians. It also looks at the activities of the most important university centres where, ...since 1956, Belarusian studies have been conducted: the Department of Belarusian Studies at the University of Warsaw, the Department of Belarusian Philology and the Department of Belarusian Culture at the University of Bialystok, the Faculty of Belarusian Studies at the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, as well as the Institute of Slavic Philology at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. This work not only depicts the most significant areas of current research, but also presents the prospects of the development of academic Belarusian linguistics and literary reflection. Particular attention is paid to those monographs and documentary publications led by Polish researchers which have had the most influence on the development and progress of contemporary Belarusian studies in Poland.
The article examines the dialectological and folklore fieldwork organized between 1924 and 1930 by the prominent linguist and literary scholar Viktor Zhirmunskii. Zhirmunskii conducted his fieldwork ...in the ethnic German communities of the Southern USSR (Ukraine, Crimea, Transcaucasia), as well as in the Leningrad region. Unpublished field materials are held at the archive of the St. Petersburg’s Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences and in the archive of the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom). These materials include field reports, which describe noteworthy details on the goals, participants, collected data, and the itineraries of the aforementioned expeditions. These valuable materials shed light upon some understudied aspects of Zhirmunskii’s life and work.
In his later years, Tsuda Sōkichi (1873–1961) confronted his readers’ “misunderstanding” of his work on the Kojiki and the Nihon shoki (the Kiki), which had concerned him since before the war. After ...the war, his Kiki studies were newly recognized as “historical science.” Tsuda denounced the postwar appropriation and misinterpretation of his work, as he became renowned as a “denier of historical facts and of the earliest emperors.” This was far from what he intended, however. He was always reluctant to deal head-on with the issue of the historical existence of the early emperors. Postwar scholars formed a collective perception of Tsuda as a “denier,” and overlooked his important remark regarding the notion of “historical facts.” He loathed the postwar tendency to label him a Marxist, and he criticized new interpretations of the Kiki. Postwar scholars relied upon the “imagined Tsuda” and upon archaeological discoveries too to reconstruct a new national history minus its imperial tradition. Postwar scholars, who regarded Tsuda as a Marxist, were taken aback by his declaration of “love” for the imperial family, and struggled to understand his work in its entirety. As a result, they were guilty of oversimplifying his achievements.
Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is used by educators and institutions around the world and is an effective solution for creating and ...delivering engaging online courses. Moodle has also gained popularity in universities across Slovakia which have adopted it as their preferred Learning Management System for managing and providing e-learning content. The use of Moodle courses in university education in Slovakia has several benefits, including increased access to education for students, improved engagement and interaction between students and instructors, and greater flexibility for students in terms of when and where they can complete coursework. The paper aims to investigate the integration of this learning/content management system in the area of philology (linguistics/applied linguistics, translation, culture, literature, didactics) by analysing Moodle courses offered by the Department of English Language and Literature at Trnava University’s Faculty of Education. The study analyses existing Moodle courses from multiple perspectives to identify digital service advancements in philological study programs, including teacher and non-teacher training programs. The study examines various features of Moodle courses, including the number of courses offered, the subjects covered, course structure, learning materials employed, methods of assessment and feedback, communication and collaboration tools utilised, and integration of online and multimedia resources. The paper presents the essential findings and provides insights into the current situation. Identifying gaps in the existing state and suggesting areas for further research, aims to advance understanding in the field.
