The paper investigates into the rendering of minority place names on maps of the Third Austrian Military Survey, i.e. the Francisco-Josephinian topographical survey in the scales 1:75 000 ('Special ...Map') and 1:200 000 ('General Map') executed and edited by the Military-Geographical Institute in Vienna in the 1870s and 1880s with a regional focus on two sample areas, i.e. bilingual (German-Slovenian) southern Carinthia and Italian-Croatian parts of the Austrian Littoral. On the background of already well-established national identities and a rather well-developed nationality legislation in these Austrian crownlands, the paper shows the extent to which the rendering of place names for all feature types on official maps reflects nationality rights, inter-ethnic relations and Viennese state policies.
Summary
In spring 1912, 25-year-old lawyer Luka Jukić tried to assassinate the Croatian Ban and Royal Commissioner Slavko Cuvaj. This article focuses on several aspects of the trial against Jukić: ...first, on analysing the impact of Cesare Lombroso’s criminology in Croatia; second, on the testimony by forensic psychiatrist Ivo Žirovčić, who controversially claimed that Jukić was sane; third, on unmasking the techniques and manipulations by the media, the regime and the opposition concerning the assassin’s alleged insanity; and finally, on identifying the ways in which the case influenced further political and revolutionary activities in the country. The discussion concerning Jukić’s accountability deepened the chasm between the supporters and opponents of Cuvaj’s regime, both in the political sphere and within the Croatian medical community.
The growth in online platforms and documentary aggregator sites has revolutionised the process of Jewish family history research. This article records how the loss of EU citizenship rights following ...Britain's departure from the European Union encouraged the author to investigate their own family history. Drawing upon the author's findings, it describes how communal record books left on the shelves of town halls across Romania for over a century have been given new life thanks to the efforts of community archivists. This article chronicles their efforts to identify, preserve and digitise these documents which help to shed light on the history of the Jewish community of Dorna Watra, now Vatra Dornei, a small town in the former Austrian crownland of Bukovina. This article provides a detailed evaluation of the opportunities facing Jewish family researchers and the strengths and weaknesses of online aggregator sites such as Ancestry.Com and JewishGen.
Abstract
Few products, which today seem so
marginal, had capital importance for
national well-being and the country's
economy like plums. Bosnia and
Herzegovina had particularly favorable
climatic ...and pedological features for
plum cultivation. These natural bene-
fits and the multiple possibility of
exploitation have enabled the plum to
take a dominant place among Bosnian
fruits. Its economic importance did not
go unnoticed by the Ottoman and later
Austro-Hungarian authorities, who paid
special attention to it. Therefore, it
should not be surprising that in the
observed period the plum was a kind of
national treasure, and plum growing
was the most developed branch of fruit
growing. The Austro-Hungarian occu-
pation authorities especially improved
the method of processing and the sale
of plums and contributed to its beco-
ming an important economic branch.

What is 'typically' habsburgish about the network of cities that were under the rule of the imperial dynasty for several centuries? As a place of artistic and intellectual production, as an economic ...hub, as a decision-making centre, the limited space of the city interacted with the empire. The contributions brought together in this book study the influences and exchanges (economic relations, political culture, artistic productions) that shaped the territories governed by the Habsburgs in Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary, Austria and America, from the modern era to the contemporary period. The traces of these interactions testify of the unique role played by urban cooperation in the development of a composite monarchy.
Qu’y a-t-il de « typiquement » habsbourgeois dans le réseau des villes placées plusieurs siècles durant sous la domination de la dynastie impériale ? Lieu de production artistique et intellectuelle, cœur économique, centre décisionnel, l’espace limité de la ville agit en interaction avec l’empire. Les contributions rassemblées ici étudient les influences et les échanges (relations économiques, culture politique, productions artistiques) qui ont façonné les territoires gouvernés par les Habsbourg en Espagne, en Italie, aux Pays-Bas, en Hongrie, en Autriche et en Amérique, de l’époque moderne à l’époque contemporaine. Les traces de ces interactions témoignent du rôle exceptionnel qu’a joué la coopération urbaine dans le fonctionnement d’une monarchie composite.
Was ist ""typisch"" habsburgisch an dem Netzwerk von Städten, die mehrere Jahrhunderte lang unter der Herrschaft der kaiserlichen Dynastie standen? Als Ort der künstlerischen und intellektuellen Produktion, als wirtschaftliches Herz und als Entscheidungszentrum agierte der begrenzte Raum der Stadt in Wechselwirkung mit dem Reich. Die hier versammelten Beiträge untersuchen die Einflüsse und den Austausch (wirtschaftliche Beziehungen, politische Kultur, künstlerische Produktionen), die die von den Habsburgern regierten Gebiete in Spanien, Italien, den Niederlanden, Ungarn, Österreich und Amerika von der Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart prägten. Die Spuren dieser Interaktionen zeugen von der außergewöhnlichen Rolle, die die städtische Zusammenarbeit für das Funktionieren einer zusammengesetzten Monarchie spielte.
A major problem of state and institution building in Yugoslavia after 1918 was that the end of the war was not a complete caesura between separate South Slav pasts and a unified 'Yugoslav' future: ...much historical and institutional baggage was carried over into the new state. This was obviously the case with the Yugoslav army, where creating a new institution entirely from scratch was impossible, given the immediate internal and external threats that faced the new state and given the prestige and the military efficacy of the Serbian army. The Yugoslav army was consciously modelled on the pre-war Serbian army, not only in terms of its institutional framework, but also in terms of its ethos and ideology. There was little space in this ideology for commemorating Austria-Hungary's war, just as there was little space in the Czechoslovak, Polish or Romanian armies. It was difficult to fuse Austro-Hungarian and Serbian veterans into one army, and problems were especially acute in the officer corps. This article addresses some of the successes and failures encountered in the attempt to fuse disparate and often antithetical military institutional cultures in Yugoslavia in the decade after the end of the First World War.
V předloženém příspěvku jsme se pokusili prokázat, že první světová válka přinesla v jistém smyslu „zrušení“ dětství a jeho instrumentalizaci ze strany válčícího státu. Hlavní rekvizitou naší analýzy ...byla (dětská) obuv a dějištěm trh s obuví. Obuv je totiž jako předmět zájmu armády i civilního sektoru, stabilního konzumu a elastického trhu obzvláště vhodný výzkumný objekt. Stejně jako děti i ona si díky první světové válce prožila svůj vlastní paradigmatický obrat, kdy se z luxusního předmětu s výraznou symbolickou hodnotou stalo masově produkované spotřební zboží. Dětský zákazník v průběhu války nezmizel, ale významně se proměnil. Kvůli tlakům směřujícím z prostředí mimo tržní mechanismy se stal jakýmsi „kvazi-spotřebitelem“, a současně i „kvazi-výrobcem“, soukolím ve válečné výrobě a také distribuci. V příspěvku jsme se pokusili odpovědět na otázky, jak byly děti vtaženy do válečné ekonomiky, vyzývány k šetření a racionaci? Jakou roli hrály při sběru kůží a potřebných materiálů?
