    Irene Götz, Klaus Roth, Marketa Spiritova (Hg.) Neuer Nationalismus im östlichen Europa Ethnografische Perspektiven auf das östliche Europa Band 3 Editorial Die tiefgreifenden Transformationsprozesse, die die Gesellschaften des östli- chen Europas seit den letzten Jahrzehnten prägen, werden mit Begriffen wie Postsozialismus, Globalisierung und EU-Integration nur oberflächlich be- schrieben. Ethnografische Ansätze vermögen es, die damit einhergehenden Veränderungen der Alltage, Biografien und Identitäten multiperspektivisch und subjektorientiert zu beleuchten. Die Reihe Ethnografische Perspektiven auf das östliche Europa gibt vertiefte Einblicke in die Verflechtungen von ma- krostrukturellen Politiken und ihren medialen Repräsentationen mit den Prak- tiken der Akteurinnen und Akteure in urbanen wie ländlichen Lebenswelten. Themenfelder sind beispielsweise identitätspolitische Inszenierungen, Prozes- se des Nation Building, privates und öffentliches Erinnern, neue soziale Bewe- gungen und transnationale Mobilitäten in einer sich umgestaltenden Bürger- kultur.

  • The Vasil Krychevsky Poltava Local Lore Museum: from Foundation to the Present
    Scientific Development of New Eastern Europe THE VASIL KRYCHEVSKY POLTAVA LOCAL LORE MUSEUM: FROM FOUNDATION TO THE PRESENT Zaiets Taras1 DOI: https://doi.org/10.30525/978-9934-571-89-3_63 Poltava region has always attracted the interest of scientists, as determined by the dynamics of social and cultural and artistic life. The region has a special approach in historical musicology, folklore and ethnography. An in-depth study of the history of the formation of museums is an actual topic in the modern conditions of the revival of spirituality and culture of the Ukrainian people. Nevertheless, in spite of this, the topics of the Poltava Museology are covered only in a fragmentary way in the studies of N. Besedina, A. Vasylenko, V. Vrublevska, G. Mezentseva, M. Ozhitska, I. Yavtushenko and some other scholars. The rich history of the Poltava region is preserved in museums, the oldest of which is the Poltava Local Lore Museum – a significant scientific and cultural center, created in 1891 at the Poltava provincial zemstvo board in three small rooms of the wing. The first exhibits of the institution was a collection of soils and herbarium collected by the expedition of the famous scientist, professor V. V. Dokuchaev – 4,000 soils, 500 specimens of rocks, 862 herbarium sheets [5]. In 1908, the architect V. Krychevsky and the painters S. Vasylkivsky (who performed the decorative painting of the museum) and M. Samokysh (created three huge canvases in the session hall of the zemstvo) built a genuine architectural masterpiece, which is still considered the most original building in the city.

  • Fragment of a 17Th-Century Glass Wine Goblet
    16 Canadio-Byzantina 23 (January 2012) REPORTS Excavations at Baturyn in 2011 During the summer of 2011 the Canada-Ukraine archaeological expedition resumed its annual excavations in Baturyn, Chernihiv province, Ukraine. The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS), the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (PIMS) in Toronto, and the Shevchenko Scientific Society of America (SSS-A) co-sponsor the project. Prof. Zenon Kohut, Director of CIUS, heads this undertaking; Prof. Orest Popovych, President of SSS-A, is its patron and academic adviser; Dr. Volodymyr Kovalenko, University of Chernihiv, leads the expedition. Dr. Volodymyr Mezentsev (CIUS), Prof. Martin Dimnik (PIMS), and Huseyin Oylupinar, Ph.D.candidate (University of Alberta), are also engaged in the excavation and the publication of its findings. The 2011 expedition recruited 75 students and scholars from the universities and museums of Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Kyiv, Sumy, Baturyn, Hlukhiv, Melitopol, Chernivtsi in Ukraine, and Toronto and Edmonton in Canada. From 1669 to 1708, Baturyn was the capital of the Cossack Hetman state that reached its zenith under the rule of the enlightened Hetman Ivan Mazepa (1687-1709). In alliance with Sweden he attempted to liberate central Ukraine from increasing Moscow domination but the Russian army suppressed his insurrection and destroyed Baturyn in 1708. This year’s expedition continued excavating the remnants of Mazepa’s fortified court located in the Baturyn suburb of Honcharivka. Around 1699 he commissioned the erection of the three-story masonry palace; it was unrivalled in the Cossack realm and became his principal residence. Archaeological and architectural investigations of the palace’s remnants in 2003-10 have established that it was built and adorned in a mature Vilnius (Wilno) Baroque style and enriched with the ornate polychrome glazed ceramic revetments of the Kyivan Baroque style.

Previously absent from forensic debate, social scientists and historians here Mass violence, genocide, confront historical and contemporary exhumations with the application of social context to create an innovative and interdisciplinary dialogue. and the ‘forensic turn’ Never before has a single volume examined the context of motivations and interests behind these pursuits, each chapter enlightening the Edited by ÉLISABETH ANSTETT political, social, and legal aspects of mass crime and its aftermaths. and JEAN-MARC DREYFUS The book argues that the emergence of new technologies to facilitate the identification of dead bodies has led to a ‘forensic turn’, normalizing exhumations as a method of dealing with human remains en masse. However, are these exhumations always made for legitimate reasons? And what can we learn about societies from the way in which they deal with this consequence of mass violence? Multidisciplinary in scope, this book presents a ground-breaking selection of international case studies, including the identification of corpses by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the resurfacing ANSTETTand of human remains from the Gulag and the sites of Jewish massacres from the Holocaust.
