Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto
Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto By Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar 2016 Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian group in Toronto PhD 2016 Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar University of St.Michael’s College Abstract This study explores how the Macedono-Bulgarian and Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox churches in Toronto have attuned themselves to the immigrant community—specifically to post-1990 immigrants who, while unchurched and predominantly secular, have revived diaspora churches. This paradox raises questions about the ways that religious institutions operate in diaspora, distinct from their operations in the country of origin. This study proposes and develops the concept “institutional vernacularization” as an analytical category that facilitates assessment of how a religious institution relates to communal factors. I propose this as an alternative to secularization, which inadequately captures the diaspora dynamics. While continuing to adhere to their creeds and confessional symbols, diaspora churches shifted focus to communal agency and produced new collective and “popular” values. The community is not only a passive recipient of the spiritual gifts but is also a partner, who suggests new forms of interaction. In this sense, the diaspora church is engaged in vernacular discourse. The notion of institutional vernacularization is tested against the empirical results of field work in four Greater Toronto Area churches. -
Historical Background
1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Ukraine's long and turbulent history has been marked by devas• tation, suppression and discontinuity, the absence of any lasting independent statehood, and the division of ethnically Ukrainian lands among foreign conquerors and more powerful neighbours. Located at the former crossroads between Europe and Asia, where the Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim worlds confronted one another, this rich and fertile land was for centuries a magnet for invaders and colonizers, including Tatars, Poles, Turks, Russians and Germans. Over the ages Ukraine's history was rewritten by its foreign rulers in accordance with their own political and imperial interests, thus obscuring the story and aspirations of one of Europe's largest nations. Indeed, having remained a submerged nation for so long, Ukraine's resurgence during the final years of the USSR's existence was to take many by surprise and not only to alter the political geography of Europe but also to challenge the traditional ways of looking at Russia and Eastern Europe. Early history The Ukrainians, like the Russians and Belarusians, belong to the eastern branch of the Slavs. All three trace their historical ancestry to the state of Kyivan (Kievan) Rus, which arose in the ninth century and developed into a vast and powerful realm. The centre of this conglomerate of diverse territories and principalities was Kyiv and the area around it, that is, the heartland of present-day Ukraine. Kyivan Rus adopted Christianity from Byzantium in 988, along with Old Church Slavonic, with its Cyrillic script, which became the liturgical and literary language. The Kyivan state's famed 'golden domed' capital flourished as a jewel of East Slavonic culture and its rulers formed dynastic links with many 1 2 Historical background of medieval Europe's royal families as far away as France and Norway. -

The Classical and Jesuit Erudition of Stefan Iavorskii in His Panegyrics To
UDC 821.124 Philologia Classica. 2020. Vol. 15. Fasc. 2 The Classical and Jesuit Erudition of Stefan Iavorskii in His Panegyrics to Varlaam Iasinskii* Bartosz Awianowicz Nicolaus Copernicus University, Faculty of Humanities, 3, Fosa Staromiejska, Toruń, 87-100, Poland; [email protected] For citation: Awianowicz B. The Classical and Jesuit Erudition of Stefan Iavorskii in His Panegyrics to Varlaam Iasinskii. Philologia Classica 2020, 15 (2), 246–260. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu20.2020.205 This article offers an overview of the Greco-Latin and early modern Jesuit sources of Stefan Iavorskii’s (1658–1722) three bilingual panegyrics addressed to his patron Varlaam Iasinskii, rector of the Kiev-Mohyla college (1669–1689), the Orthodox metropolitan of Kiev (1690– 1707), Hercules post Atlantem infracto virtutum robore honorarium pondus sustinens published in Chernihiv in 1684, Arctos Caeli Rossiaci in Gentilitiis Syderibus and Pełnia nieubywaiącey chwały w herbowym xiężycu (The Plenitude of Inexhaustible Glory in the heraldic moon), pub- lished in Kiev in 1690 and 1691. Both these works are prosimetric bilinguals (some sections are in Latin, others in Polish), testifying to a significant classical erudition of their author. However, Hercules is one most traditionally “classical” in its dispositio and elocutio, while the style of the other two, written after Iavorskii’s educational journey through Jesuit schools in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, is much more innovative, highly metaphorical, al- legorical, relying on the argumentation of surprise (based on acumen- and argutia-theory expounded in the rhetoric of Jan Kwiatkiwiecz) and emblems due to an extensive use of com- binations of multiple pictorial-verbal themes (especially in Pełnia). -
Stefan Iavors´Kyi's Vynohrad Khrystov
Harvard Ukrainian Studies 37,virg no.inity 1–2 (2020): is good 13–46. 13 Virginity Is Good but Marriage Is Better: Stefan Iavors´kyi’s Vynohrad Khrystov (1698) as Emblematic Praise of Marriage* Maria Grazia Bartolini Introduction orn into a Uniate family in the town of Iavor (today Iavoriv), Stefan (Symeon) Iavors´kyi (1656–1722) was a man of many talents andB roles. A scholar well versed in neo-Latin and Polish literature and culture and a churchman of distinguished service in the Hetmanate and in Petrine Russia, he was known not only as one of the most educated persons of his day but also as an effective preacher. It was the eulogy he delivered in February 1700 at the funeral of the boyar Aleksei Shein that attracted the attention of Peter I and persuaded the young tsar to ask Iavors´kyi to remain in Moscow, where he would bring his repertoire of Humanist poetics and Latin-Polish culture.1 While his homiletic pro- duction as a member of the Russian church has attracted considerable interest, the sermons that he wrote and delivered during the Ukrainian period of his life remain largely unexplored. The main reason for this neglect is not hard to determine. Iavors´kyi’s Ukrainian sermons exist only in manuscript form and are therefore not easily accessible.

Stefan Iavors'kyi (1658-1722)
Stefan Iavors'kyi (1658-1722) Jakub Niedźwiedź (Uniwersytet Jagiellonski/ Jagiellonian University of Krakow) Poet; Religious leader; Religious writer. Active - in Russia; Ukraine; Poland Stefan Iavors′kyi (Stefan Yavorsky; Polish: Stefan Jaworski; 1658–1722) was a Ukrainian and Russian writer, scholar, hierarch of the Orthodox Church, politician, bibliophile, and patron of educational institutions and literature. He was one of the major representatives of baroque poetry and intellectual life in Ukraine in the second half of the seventeenth century. In the first years of the eighteenth century he co-operated with Tsar Peter I and was responsible for the reform of the Orthodox Church in the Russian Empire. He wrote in Latin, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Church Slavonic. Iavors′kyi was born Simeon Ivanovych Iavors′kyi in 1658, probably in Iavoriv (Jaworów) in the Ruthenian Voivodeship in the Kingdom of Poland (now western Ukraine). We do not know much about his family. His parents were Orthodox and their mother tongue was probably Ruthenian (Ukrainian). They probably either belonged to the gentry (szlachta) or were burgers. Shortly after 1667, they probably moved from Poland to the Cossack Hetmanate in central Ukraine. The Hetmanate was subordinate to Russia at this time but with a high degree of independence, with its own army, economy as well as a highly developed culture. The culmination of the political and cultural development of the Hetmanate coincides with the rule of Hetman Ivan Mazepa (1687–1709). It was thanks in large part to his patronage that Kyiv became a major center of religious and cultural life in Eastern Europe. -

THE EVOLUTION OF RUSSIA’S GREAT POWER DISCOURSE: A CONCEPTUAL HISTORY OF VELIKAYA DERZHAVA By Anatoly Reshetnikov Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations Word count: 88,828 In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: Dr Alexander Astrov Budapest, Hungary 2018 COPYRIGHT NOTICE I hereby declare that this thesis contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Anatoly Reshetnikov Budapest, 25 September 2018 CEU eTD Collection i ABSTRACT Today, Russia is yet again talking about being a great power. Such rhetoric emerges in almost every programmatic text written by Russian politicians, as well as in every forecast and policy analysis prepared by Russian state-affiliated think-tanks. Most western observers perceive this as a question of foreign policy and treat Russia’s claims with suspicion. At a closer look, however, it becomes evident that, instead of having an exclusive connection to foreign policy, Russia’s great power discourse is self-centered, defensive, ideological, and relates equally, if not more, to the causes of Russian domestic consolidation and catch up development. In this study, I argue that the origins of this inherent ambivalence and specific functions of Russia’s great power discourse should be sought in the conceptual evolution of velikaya derzhava, a Russian political concept that is usually translated as ‘great power’. In its current shape, velikaya derzhava is a product of both the evolution of local political culture, and Russia’s discursive encounters with external political environment, the most consequential of which was Russia’s lengthy and troubled integration into the European society of states in the XVIII and the XIX centuries.
