In the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, in contrast, the issue of magic is still a rather neglected area of study. Apart from the study of witchcraft and apart from ethnologists or an- thropologists, whose research interests usually include present or recent case studies and phenomena, the subject of magic has not yet received due attention from histori- ans and other scholars of the humanities of the region. This can be partly explained by the fact that while communist policy with its stress on the class struggle preferred cer- tain topics, mainly political, economic and social history, it practically brought other fields and research interests to a standstill. This book is an outcome of an international interdisciplinary conference held on 25th – 27th October 2004 in the Congress centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in the picturesque Smolenice castle. The conference focused on the broader context of popular and learned magic in general, aimed to examine the full range of magical con- ceptions, beliefs and practices of the past and its relation to medieval and early modern science, medicine and religion. Still, the objective was broad and inclusive, rather than narrow and exclusive and it did not aim to offer one essential definition of magic. Geographically, it intended to cover the area of Central and Eastern Europe, including the territories of the present day Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Russia and countries of former Yugoslavia. As a matter of fact, these countries are represented rather unevenly, the main bulk of contributions coming from Hungarian and Slovak scholars. To some degree it was caused by the fact that coincidentally, shortly after the Smolenice conference there was another one organised in Passau with the same, though more focused theme. ∗ One of the crucial problems when dealing with historical sources is the question of their interpretation and it is not surprising that a couple of contributions are centred on it. Benedek Láng examines medieval magical texts in Central Europe, and tries to find answers to fundamental questions such as who were their authors, scribes, owners and readers; what was the character of their interest in learned magic: primary, acci- dental or purely academic; to what extent the texts represent an original intellectual production of the region and so on. On the basis of his analyses he comes to the con- clusion that in comparison with Western Europe, the milieu of the Central European universities and courts was more tolerant and that readers of magical texts belonged to neither the “intellectual proletariat” nor the “clerical underworld,” but rather to a higher and respected intellectual stratum. The problem of source interpretation is also one of the basic ones that Márton ∗ Religion und Magie in Ostmitteleuropa (Spätmittelalter und fruhe Neuzeit) organised by Thomas Wünsch from Lehrstuhl für Neuere und Neueste Geschichte Osteuropas und seiner Kulturen at Passau University on 4th – 6th November 2004. Introduction 7 Szentpéteri has to tackle, while questioning the hitherto unpublished commonplace book of Albert Szenci Molnár (1574-1634), a late Renaissance wandering scholar, Protestant theologian and poet, consisting of topoi on magic, alchemy and demonol- ogy. Szentpéteri examines the origin of a late 17th century legend presenting Szenci Molnár as a Faustian figure and tries to track down possible influence of his Loci communes in the formation of the legend. Moreover, Szentpéteri points to certain bi- ases and prejudices of scholars of Hungarian Studies towards Szenci Molnár, espe- cially to his interest in Hermeticism, magic and demonology in his youth and ques- tions their portrayal of Szenci Molnár as a Reformed intellectual who was always in- volved in late humanist issues strictly separated from questions of natural philosophy, magic or demonology. Such a strict distinction between humanism and science dates back only to the 19th century and had no real place in the late Renaissance. However, it is not only textual written sources that involve the problem of inter- pretation. As Milena Bartlová shows in her paper dealing with the period of the Mid- dle Ages, images can also be the subject of different interpretations. She comes out with the notion of the magic of the image and examines astrological, alchemical and magical symbolism of the images created at the Court of the King of Bohemia Wenceslas IV. An excellent summary of the history of the occult sciences in Early Modern Hun- gary in a Central European context and concise comparison of Hungarian with the Western scholarship

  • Public Space in the Soviet City: a Spatial Perspective on Mass Protests in Minsk
    PUBLIC SPACE IN THE SOVIET CITY: A SPATIAL PERSPECTIVE ON MASS PROTESTS IN MINSK Arve Hansen (UiT the Arctic University of Norway) Abstract In many capitals, the central public square is the place where people go en masse when they wish to voice their discontent. The squares used for such collective actions are diverse. Each square has its unique combination of symbols and history; they are used in different ways by the public; and they often have distinct physical characteristics. Yet, in social sciences, when determining what makes collective actions successful, space is often overlooked. In this article, I present an approach for analysing public space in relation to mass protests. I then apply this approach to the Belarusian capital Minsk, where virtually no protests have been successful during the post-Soviet period. In what ways are mass protests in Minsk affected by the perceived (symbolic), social and physical elements of the city’s public spaces? I examine the centre of Minsk in general, and analyse two central squares in particular. The article is based mainly on qualitative, semi-structured interviews with protesters, observers and opposition leaders; research literature; and on my own fieldwork and experiences from living in Minsk. I conclude that space is contributing to the difficulties facing the Belarusian opposition in several ways. 1) The perceived elements of Minsk and the two main squares do not have a preferable symbolic value to the opposition. 2) The social elements of the city show that the political centre is avoided by the public, thus making protests less noticeable. 3) This latter point is important, given that the physical elements of the squares makes policing particularly easy and swift.

    HOLIDAYS, CELEBRATIONS AND FEAST DAYS Do you know anyone who doesn‟t like to laugh, enjoy himself, have a good time and celebrate? If so, he‟s one of a small minority. Some of us really do try to seek out quiet, calm places without noise of people. But that doesn‟t mean that they don‟t take part in celebrations from time to time. Individual celebrations In the course of the year we have many opportunities for celebrations. You celebrate some events that happened on a particular date, like your wedding anniversary, your birthday, name day etc. These celebrations take place once a year. On these occasions the guest of honour receives presents, flowers, candies and other gifts. An anniversary is the date on which an event took place in a previous year, so, for example, if your parents married on 1 August 1980, the anniversary of their wedding will be on 1 August each year. Some events that you celebrate are events that usually only happen to you once in a lifetime, like the day you were christened, the day you got married, or the day you graduated from the college or university. The way of celebrating can be different according to local traditions. Christian holidays The most important and popular holidays are Christmas and Easter. We celebrate Easter in early spring. Its date is different every year (the Christian Church appoints it according to the first spring full moon). Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In most countries on Easter Sunday children (but not only children) receive eggs, often with sweets or toys in them, or chocolate animals, usually rabbits.

  • Famine and Foreigners: Ethiopia Since Live Aid This Page Intentionally Left Blank Famine and Foreigners: Ethiopia Since Live Aid
    ‘Th ank God for great journalism. Th is book is a much needed, ex- haustively researched and eff ortlessly well written recent history of Ethiopia. A book that strips away the cant and rumour, the pros and antis and thoroughly explains the people, politics and economics of that most beautiful nation. A superb and vital piece of work by some- one who clearly loves the country of which he writes.’ Bob Geldof ‘Th e great Ethiopian famine changed everything and nothing. It fun- damentally altered the rich world’s sense of its responsibility to the hungry and the poor, but didn’t solve anything. A quarter of a century on, we’re still arguing about the roots of the problem, let alone the so- lution, and—though there has been progress—Ethiopia’s food inse- curity gets worse, not better. Peter Gill was one of the most thorough and eff ective television journalists of his generation. He was there in 1984 and his work at the time added up to the most sensible, balanced and comprehensive explanation of what had happened. Twenty-fi ve years later, he’s gone back to test decades of aspiration against the re- alities on the ground. It’s a book that bridges journalism and history, judicious analysis with a strong, and often gripping, narrative. Always readable, but never glib, this is a must for all those who think there is a simple answer to the famine, still waiting in the wings. ’ Michael Buerk ‘No outsider understands Ethiopia better than Peter Gill. He com- bines compassion with a clinical commitment to the truth.

  • France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.)
    France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History August 2015 © “This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” Abstract This thesis examines French relations with Yugoslavia in the twentieth century and its response to the federal republic’s dissolution in the 1990s. In doing so it contributes to studies of post-Cold War international politics and international diplomacy during the Yugoslav Wars. It utilises a wide-range of source materials, including: archival documents, interviews, memoirs, newspaper articles and speeches. Many contemporary commentators on French policy towards Yugoslavia believed that the Mitterrand administration’s approach was anachronistic, based upon a fear of a resurgent and newly reunified Germany and an historical friendship with Serbia; this narrative has hitherto remained largely unchallenged. Whilst history did weigh heavily on Mitterrand’s perceptions of the conflicts in Yugoslavia, this thesis argues that France’s Yugoslav policy was more the logical outcome of longer-term trends in French and Mitterrandienne foreign policy. Furthermore, it reflected a determined effort by France to ensure that its long-established preferences for post-Cold War security were at the forefront of European and international politics; its strong position in all significant international multilateral institutions provided an important platform to do so.

  • Be Aware of Potential Risk of Dam Failure in Your Community
    Be Aware of Potential Risk of Dam Failure in Your Community Approximately 15,000 dams in the United States are classified as high-hazard potential (HHP), meaning that their failure could result in loss of life. Dams can fail for a number of reasons, including overtopping caused by floods, acts of sabotage, or structural failure of materials used in dam construction. The worst dam failure in the United States occurred in 1889 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Over 2,200 died, with many more left homeless. Dams present risks but they also provide many benefits, including irrigation, flood control, and recreation. Dams have been identified as a key resource of our national infrastructure that is vulnerable to terrorist attack. States have the primary responsibility for protecting their populations from dam failure. Of the approximately 94,400 dams in the United States, State governments regulate about 70 percent. About 27,000 dams throughout our Nation could incur damage or fail, resulting in significant property damage, lifeline disruption (utilities), business disruption, displacement of families from their homes, and environmental damage. The most important steps you can take to protect yourself from dam failure are to know your risk. Contact government offices to learn if an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is in place and to evacuate when directed by emergency response officials. An EAP is a formal document that identifies potential emergency conditions at a dam and specifies preplanned actions to be followed by the dam owner to reduce property damage and loss of life. The plan may save lives and property damage through timely evacuations of those who live, work, or enjoy recreation near a high-hazard potential dam.

The effects of this ongoing process range from direct intervention in the breakup of Yugoslavia to more indirect influence in its formation. This research strongly centers on previously established and well accepted theories of globalization to illustrate the consequences globalization had on Yugoslavia specifically. Throughout the research, the concept of critical globalism emerges as the prevailing method in the attempt to explain the events that took place in this region.
