NEW HAVEN, CONN. TO MY PARENTS Preface The dawn of the twentieth century witnessed the climax of imperialistic competition in Europe among the Great Pow­ ers. Entrenched in two opposing camps, they glared at each other over mountainous stockpiles of weapons gathered in feverish armament races. In the one camp was situated the Triple Entente, in the other the Triple Alliance of the Central Powers under Germany's leadership. The final and tragic re­ sult of this rivalry was World War I, during which Germany attempted to realize her imperialistic conception of M itteleuropa with the Berlin-Baghdad-Basra railway project to the Near East. Thus there would have been established a transcontinental highway for German industrial and commercial expansion through the Persian Gull to the Asian market. The security of this highway required that the pressure of Russian imperi­ alism on the Middle East be eliminated by the fragmentation of the Russian colonial empire into its ethnic components. Germany· planned the formation of a belt of buffer states ( asso­ ciated with the Central Powers and Turkey) from Finland, Beloruthenia ( Belorussia), Lithuania, Poland to Ukraine, the Caucasus, and even to Turkestan. The outbreak and nature of the Russian Revolution in 1917 offered an opportunity for Imperial Germany to realize this plan.

  • Ethnic and Regional Identity in Polish Part of Spiš Region (On the Example of Jurgów Village)
    78 ETHNOLOGIA ACTUALIS Vol. 14, No. 1/2014 VOJTECH BAGÍN Ethnic and Regional Identity in Polish Part of Spiš Region (on the Example of Jurgów Village) Ethnic and Regional Identity in Polish Part of Spiš Region (On the Example of Jurgów Village) VOJTECH BAGÍN Department of Ethnology and Museology, Comenius University in Bratislava [email protected] ABSTRACT In my study I am focusing on the issue of national and regional identity of Spiš region inhabitants. The researched Jurgów village belongs to territory situated on the frontier between two states and at the same time between two regions. In the study I analyze the question of stereotypes present in the locality concerning gorals from the neighbouring Podhale region and Slovak part of Spiš region. In addition to that I deal with analysis of importance and understanding of space and border for the identity of local population. On the basis of the empirical data analysis results I observe that the identity of the researched village population is shaped by the fact that it belongs to the frontier territory where cross- border cultural and social interaction occurs. KEY WORDS: ethnic identity, stereotypes, space, Jurgów, Spiš region Introduction In Slovak ethnological science, the area of Slovak-Polish borderlands of Spiš region has been researched only to a small extent. However, on the Polish side of the border occurs quite the opposite. In Polish science there have been issued various publications DOI: 10.2478/eas-2014-0005 © University of SS.

Styl zakopiański w przestrzeni konfrontacji stylów narodowych. Styl zakopiański Stanisława Witkiewicza i jego differentia specifica Abstract This paper is an attempt at reconstructing Stanisław Witkiewicz’s creative method on the basis of his scattered writings. The Zakopane style has become a phenomenon across a broad spectrum of Polish national styles. The inspirations for classical national styles were typically arbitrarily selected sets of forms taken from a specific historical style associated with a given nation or state. It was often an eclectic set – enriched with elements derived from other styles. Stanisław Witkiewicz consistently avoided borrowing and copying, confining himself solely to drawing inspiration from the folk art of Podhale. In the methodology of his architecture, rational elements (exposing the structure, stressing hygiene) interweaved with ornamentation, predominantly featuring floral themes and elements of a specific mythology. Keywords: national style in architecture, the Zakopane style, folk art, vernacular architecture, Podhale Abstract Artykuł jest próbą zrekonstruowania metody twórczej Stanisława Witkiewicza dokonaną na podstawie jego pism rozproszonych.

  • Ponašymu – the Mixed Language Code of Těšín Silesia
    DOI: 10.11649/a.1974 Kamil Czaiński, graduate of the Czech philology programme Article No.: 1974 at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. His academic interests include Eastern European cultural phenomena, borderland studies and contemporary evolution of language. He explored the subject of his essay in his master’s dissertation. nr 14/2019 r. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2113-8669 e-mail: [email protected] Kamil Czaiński Ponašymu – the mixed language code of Těšín Silesia Introduction. Těšín Silesia and its language before 1920 he term “Těšín Silesia” is inextricably linked with the Duchy of Těšín, initially a Piast and later a Habsburg fief, which first appeared in the annals of Eastern European history Tin 1290. At the time, the formally independent Silesian duchies found themselves clearly within the sphere of Czech influence. Czech ascendancy was later sealed with their annexation into the realms held by the Czech Crown in the first half of the fourteenth century – 1327 in the case of the Duchy of Těšín, when Duke Casimir I paid liege homage to King John of Bohemia (Bakala, 1992, pp. 20–21). In terms of ethnicity, most of the Duchy’s population was of Slavic descent – with the exception of eastern portions, Bielsko (which the Germans called “Bielitz”), which were reserved for ethnic German settlement and later gave rise to what is known as the Bielsko-Biała language island (Bielitz-Bialaer Sprachinsel). The course of the Lučina River, running through the western portions of the region, formed the isogloss separating areas where the proto-Slavic g was dominant (east of the river) from areas where it shifted into h (west of the river), areas with different degrees of nasal vowel denasalization (ćeški in the west and ćyŋški in the east, łuka in the west and łuŋka in the east), and areas with different development patterns for TorT, TolT groups (krava in the west and krova in the east, młady in the west and młody in the east); conse- The study was conducted at the author’s own expense.

  • North Border of Slovakia – Political
    Robert Ištok – Stela Lovacká Katedra geografie a regionálneho rozvoja, Fakulta humanitných a prírodných vied, Prešovská univerzita, ul. 17. novembra 1, 081 16, Prešov NORTH BORDER OF SLOVAKIA - political-geographical and historical-geographical context Abstract. The issue of state borders as well as cross-border regions is a common topic of Political geography research. As to the main theme of the seminar, the paper is dealing with the north border of Slovakia (currently interpreted as a state border between Slovakia and Poland) in political-geographical context with respect to historical- geographical perspective. The paper analyses the problem in broader geopolitical context emphasizing the development of Slovak-Polish border with the view to conflict and integration factors and traditional interpretation of Slovak-Polish neighbourhood. The course of events after 1989 and the membership of Slovakia and Poland in the European Union has grounded in new geopolitical configuration which creates prerequisites for more intensive mutual cooperation at the state and cross-regional level. In the conclusion the perspectives of development (reflecting the transformation of Slovak-polish border function) are outlined. Key words: Slovakia, Poland, border, transborder Introduction. Contemporary existence of Political geography has put the border as its critical subject of interest. Its founder F. Ratzel drew attention to it in his classical work Politische Geographie from 1897 and other works. The state border of Czechoslovakia and its delimitation was a point of interest for Czech and Slovak geographers since the existence of the state in 1918. Many publications have been produced (for example Dvorský 1923, Hromádka 1946, Häufler 1978, Trávníček 1984). The issue of the delimitation of territory of Slovakia is being analysed not only by Slovak geographers (Žudel 1995) but also by historians and lawyers (Klimko 1980).

  • In the Heart of Polish Salem: an Ethnohistorical Study of St.Joseph Hall and Its Neighborhood
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Ethnography Program Northeast Region IN THE HEART OF POLISH SALEM: AN ETHNOHISTORICAL STUDY OF ST.JOSEPH HALL AND ITS NEIGHBORHOOD SALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE SPECIAL ETHNOGRAPHIC REPORT In the Heart of Polish Salem: An Ethnohistorical Study of St. Joseph Hall and Its Neighborhood Cathy Stanton, Ph.D. and Jane Becker, Ph.D. Prepared under cooperative agreement with University of Massachusetts – Amherst History Department Northeast Region Ethnography Program National Park Service Boston, MA December 2009 Cover photo: Members of the St. Joseph Society in front of St. Joseph Hall on its fiftieth anniversary, 1949 (Dorothy Filip) i EX E CUTIV E SUMMARY This report focuses on Polish Americans in Salem, Massachusetts, and their associations with St. Joseph Hall (now owned by Salem Maritime National Historic Site) and the Derby Street neighborhood in which the national park site is located. The report (1) documents how members of Salem’s Polish American community have developed a sense of themselves as a collective group over time from the period of early immigration through the present, (2) explores the role of the St. Joseph Society and its hall within their identity as a distinct ethnic community over time, and (3) provides a basis for future research and for an ongoing collaboration between community members and the park to document, preserve, and celebrate the history of Poles in Salem. Key findings are as follows: • The work of self-definition among Salem’s Polish Americans took place over three generations in the overlapping contexts of (1) Polish history and nationalism, (2) the mostly urban ethnic enclaves of Polish America, and (3) the city of Salem, with its growing immigrant populations, its increasingly industrialized economy, and its deep sense of its own historical roots.
