Bulgarian Women Intellectuals in the Collective Memory (19Th-21St Century)
E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 2 No 11 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy October 2013 Bulgarian Women Intellectuals in the Collective Memory (19th-21st Century) Georgeta Nazarska Associate Professor, Ph.D., Cultural Heritage Department, State University of Library Studies and IT, Sofia Doi:10.5901/ajis.2013.v2n11p48 Abstract This paper is devoted to the collective memory during the 20-21th century of women intellectuals in Bulgaria, who had been acive public figures until World War II. It studies the work of memory (its formation, inventing, and forgetting), depending on political conditions in the country and in comparison with Europe. Emphasis is put on absence of female educated elites in the Bulgarian collective memory and in national reputation elites. The paper studies through historical and anthropological approach the presences/absences of women intellectuals in “realms of memory” (Pierre Nora). The research is done basing on discourse analysis of memorial plaques, monuments, names of streets, and squares. 1. Commemorative Plaques The register of the Sofia Municipality and a field work are sources of the research of memorial plaques in Sofia placed in honor of Bulgarian and foreign women with contribution to the Bulgarian history. A total of 40 of memorial plaques were detected and studied. Plaques were placed irregularly in time and an enhanced public interest in this kind of activity has been observed in the last 10 years. The procedure accepted in the Regulations of the Sofia Municipality requires the submission of a proposal by a Steering Committee, documentary agreement by the owner of the building, support by a Municipal Councilor and a majority during voting by Sofia Municipal Council. -

Bulgarian Revival Culture - an Axiological Perspective in the Texts of Januarius Macgahan and Stanislas St
English Studies at NBU, 2015 ISSN 2367-5705 (Print) Vol. 1, Issue 2, 41-54 www.esnbu.org BULGARIAN REVIVAL CULTURE - AN AXIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE IN THE TEXTS OF JANUARIUS MACGAHAN AND STANISLAS ST. CLAIR Zhivko Hristov New Bulgarian University, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract Analyzing the vocabulary and the stylistic techniques in the works of the two authors, dedicated to Bulgaria, the article aims to contribute to a change of the two seemingly contrasting attitudes in their Bulgarian reception. The first is the implicit attitude to MacGahan as a "dangerous" author whose work is not even published with its true title - "The Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria". The focus of the analysis are the passages that deal with the Bulgarian material culture and education, as well as their axiological charge. The second is the negative value-based perception of the Bulgaro-phobic texts of St. Clair, an author obviously considered ineligible for translating into Bulgarian. However, his work might be a valuable source of knowledge about the culture of the Bulgarian national revival, provided that our reception remains neutral and unaffected by his derogatory language. Key words: translation equivalence, connotation, axiology, irony, value-oriented motivation Article history: Received: 24 April 2015; Reviewed: 23 November 2015; Revised: 26 November 2015; Accepted: 21 December 2015; Published: 31 December 2015 Zhivko Hristov has an MA in Philosophy with a minor in English from St Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Bulgaria. In 2001 – 2013, he taught English for International Relations and Psychology at Varna Free University.

Deteriogenic Effect of Microbial Colonization of Prehistoric Paintings in Magoura Cave, Bulgaria
Annuaire de l’Université de Sofia“ St. Kliment Ohridski” Faculte de Biologie 2015, volume 100, livre 4, pp. 253-259 First National Conference of Biotechnology, Sofia 2014 DETERIOGENIC EFFECT OF MICROBIAL COLONIZATION OF PREHISTORIC PAINTINGS IN MAGOURA CAVE, BULGARIA MILENA MITOVA*, MICHAIL ILIEV, RALITSA ANGELOVA, VENETA GROUDEVA Department of General and Industrial Microbiology, Faculty of Biology, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Sofia, Bulgaria *Corresponding author: [email protected] Keywords: Biodeterioration effect, microbial colonization, paintings, Magoura cave Abstract: The Magoura Cave is located in North-Western Bulgaria. The cave contained an impressive display of prehistoric paintings, made by the guano faeces of cave dwelling bats. Many different types of microorganisms may grow on such substrates under favourable environmental conditions and have a biodeterioration effect on the paintings. The aim of the present study is focused on complete characterization of the microbial communities inhabiting the Magoura cave and determination of the most active biodeteriogens. The comparative analysis of the microbial colonization clearly demonstrates that each sample possesses unique microbial population structure and specific ratios between different target groups. The monitoring studies reveal that in the cave present continuously stable microbial population with steady qualitative and quantitative composition. In some samples high levels of sulphate-reducing bacteria, denitrifying and ammonifying bacteria as well as silicate bacteria were found. Some of these bacteria are typical biodeteriogens and it is possible they take part in the destruction of the paintings. Based on the results obtained, special treatments must be developed for the restriction of the microbial colonization and the conservation of the unique rock paintings. -

The Life and Passions of Sinful Sophronius (1804): First Complete English Translation
Bulgarian Studies 2 (2018) THE LIFE AND PASSIONS OF SINFUL SOPHRONIUS (1804): FIRST COMPLETE ENGLISH TRANSLATION Anita Kasabova, Sofia University Introduction Sophronius of Vratsa (1739–1813), born Stoyko Vladislavov, was a Bulgarian Orthodox priest and a leading figure in the early Bulgarian National Revival. He was anointed bishop of Vratsa in 1794 and released from this office several years later but was canonized as a saint in 1964. The Life and Passions of Sinful Sophronius is the first Bulgarian autobiography and one of the first texts written in Modern Bulgarian (V. Karateodorov, 1940:8; V. Dimitrova, 2006:12; P. Anchev, 2009:86). It provides a first-person perspective on the Ottoman occupation of Bulgaria and the first Russo-Turkish war, and reads like a Balkan version of Don Quixote. Sophronius breaks with the traditional genre of Old Bulgarian texts, namely the Vita or Zhitie, a hagiographic account which describes the life and deeds of a saint as an inspirational story. “Times are changing and we change with them” was written inside the cover of Sophronius’ collected manuscripts (1805).1 We may ask why he wrote his life-story. Dimitrova (2006:7) surmises that Sophronius may have wished to transmit a documentary of the times and his life, to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of subsequent generations, or even to present a fictional version of life in 19th-century Bulgaria. I agree with Dimitrova (2006: 7) and N. Randow (1979:72) that Sophronius’ account does not follow the stylized form of the Vita, as his narrative is comprised of personal and picaresque episodes that relate his hardships in an anecdotic and humorous manner. -
41. Carboniferous Granodiorite
41. Carboniferous granodiorite Location. 34 T 641581 E, 4809904 N. It is located 6.7 km south of Gorni Lom village. Category. Geosite of scientific value: outcrop of Carboniferous granodiorites. Geological setting. The outcrop is located in the Late Carboniferous St. Nikola Pluton, belonging to the Balkan granite-granodiorite complex. It is intruded between the rocks of the Chernivrah metamorphic complex and Berkovitsa low-grade metamorphic complex, parts of Berkovitsa tectonic unit. Description. The rocks of the St. Nikola Pluton crop out as prolonged in East-West direction body with width 3-3,5 km and length 16-17 km, continuing on Serbian territory. The pluton is composed of massive leucocratic to mesocratic coarse-grained rocks of granodiorite-granite composition, feldspar and quartz porphyry in places. The main rock-forming minerals are plagioclase, potassium feldspar, quartz and hornblende. Granite texture is plagioclase porphyry, and granodiorites are uneven-granular. In the rocks of the pluton is observed planar parallelism with equatorial orientation and inclination to the south from 40 to 85°. In places they show schistosity due to local tectonic events. In tectonically reworked areas granodiorites have undergone imposed metasomatic processes. Recent geochronological dating upon zircon (Carrigan et al., 2005) for St. Nikola Pluton indicate absolute age 311,9 ± 4,1 Ma, which refers to the Upper Carboniferous. Surrounding landscape. The area is surrounded by beautiful forests on the northern slopes of the highest part of the Western Balkan with peak Midzhur and outcrops of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Sensitivity and protection measures. Location of the geosite should be marked by dashboard with data about the Carboniferous magmatism and geology of the area in the center of Gorni Lom village. -
Modeled Evolution of the West Antarctic Rift System
Earth and Planetary Science Letters 255 (2007) 133–147 www.elsevier.com/locate/epsl The transition from diffuse to focused extension: Modeled evolution of the West Antarctic Rift system Audrey D. Huerta a,⁎, Dennis L. Harry b a Department of Geosciences, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16801, United States b Department of Geosciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1482, United States Received 2 June 2006; received in revised form 6 December 2006; accepted 8 December 2006 Available online 19 December 2006 Editor: R.W. Carlson Abstract Two distinct stages of extension are recognized in the West Antarctic Rift system (WARS). During the first stage, beginning in the Late Cretaceous, extension was broadly distributed throughout much of West Antarctica. A second stage of extension in the late Paleogene was focused primarily in the Victoria Land Basin, near the boundary with the East Antarctic craton. The transition to focused extension was roughly coeval with volcanic activity and strike–slip faulting in the adjacent Transantarctic Mountains. This spatial and temporal correspondence suggests that the transition in extensional style could be the result of a change in plate motions or impingement of a plume. Here we use finite element models to study the processes and conditions responsible for the two-stage evolution of rifting in the WARS. Model results indicate that the transition from a prolonged period of broadly distributed extension to a later period of focused rifting did not require a change in the regional stress regime (changes in plate motion), or deep mantle thermal state (impingement of a plume). -
