„Lublin Jest Dla Mnie Zachwycającym Miastem, Żyje Na Swoją Miarę, Czego Dziś Nie Można Powiedzieć O Wielu Miastach
„Lublin jest dla mnie zachwycającym miastem, żyje na swoją miarę, czego dziś nie można powiedzieć o wielu miastach. Spokojny, równy rytm, wschodnie podglebie, naznaczone religijną i narodową tolerancją. (…) Im więcej poznaję ludzi (…), tym wyraźniej czuję odruch przywiązania, skurcz gardła podobny do zakochania się w Krakowie (…)”[1]. Tak o Lublinie pisał Gustaw Herling-Grudziński po wizycie, którą złożył z okazji zamknięcia sesji poświęconej „Kulturze”. Spokój, rytmiczność, być może pewna powolność w życiu miasta dla wielu Lublinian nie jest ani źródłem zachwytu, ani powodem do odczuwania dumy, stanowi raczej miarę jego prowincjonalizmu, a brak rozmachu oznacza nudę i gnuśność. Pomysł przygotowania przekazanej czytelnikom publikacji nie miał nic wspólnego z zamiarem dyskutowania o tym, czy Lublin jest prowincją, czy też nią nie jest, ale wynikał z przekonania autorów tekstów, że jest on jednym z mateczników kultury alternatywnej i warto, w formie książki, ocalić w ludzkiej pamięci lubelskie, alternatywne praktyki, ich inicjatorów i uczestników. Odegrały one znaczącą rolę w przemianach polskiej rzeczywistości stając się nośnikiem krytyki i kontestacji oraz obszarem identyfikacji postaw indywidualnych i społecznych, tak ich twórców jak i publiczności. Jako miasto akademickie Lublin sprzyjał rozwojowi kultury studenckiej i stanowił magnes dla młodych teatrów, które mogły tutaj okrzepnąć w ramach organizowanej w latach 1966 – 1974 Lubelskiej Wiosny Teatralnej i później, w latach 1976 – 1981, w Konfrontacjach Młodego Teatru, najważniejszej -

Like the Romance and Germanic peoples, they are related by area and culture, not so much by blood. Today there are thirteen different Slavic groups divided into three blocs, Eastern, Southern and Western. These include the Russians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,Croatians, Macedonians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Kashubians, Albanians and Slovakians. Although the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians are of Baltic tribes, we are including some of their customs as they are similar to those of their Slavic neighbors. Slavic Runes were called "Runitsa", "Cherty y Rezy" ("Strokes and Cuts") and later, "Vlesovitsa". -
Becoming Soviet: Lost Cultural Alternatives In
BECOMING SOVIET: LOST CULTURAL ALTERNATIVES IN UKRAINE, 1917-1933 Olena Palko, 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 December 2016© ‘This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that 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 doctoral thesis investigates the complex and multi-faceted process of the cultural sovietisation of Ukraine. The study argues that different political and cultural projects of a Soviet Ukraine were put to the test during the 1920s. These projects were developed and executed by representatives of two ideological factions within the Communist Party of Bolsheviks of Ukraine: one originating in the pre-war Ukrainian socialist and communist movements, and another with a clear centripetal orientation towards Moscow. The representatives of these two ideological horizons endorsed different approaches to defining Soviet culture. The unified Soviet canon in Ukraine was an amalgamation of at least two different Soviet cultural projects: Soviet Ukrainian culture and Soviet culture in the Ukrainian language. These two visions of Soviet culture are examined through a biographical study of two literary protagonists: the Ukrainian poet Pavlo Tychyna (1891-1967) and the writer Mykola Khvyl'ovyi (1893-1933). Overall, three equally important components, contributing to Ukraine’s sovietisation, are discussed: the power struggle among the Ukrainian communist elites; the manipulation of the tastes and expectations of the audience; and the ideological and aesthetic evolution of Ukraine’s writers in view of the first two components. -

Kaže se kot okostnjak s koso, ki ne prizanaša sleherniku, ker smo pred njo vsi enaki. Gre za predstave, ki so nastale iz poganskih razmišljanj in iz katerih smo ljudje prišli do enega izmed ključnih spoznanj: vsako življenje se začne z rojstvom in se neizbežno konča s smrtjo. Pri naših prednikih Slovanih je bil zaključek posameznikovega življenja družbeno obredno zelo poudarjen. Smrt je bila v vsakdanjem življenju prisotna drugače kot danes. Slovani so svoje mrtve, katere so delili na »čiste« in »nečiste« pokojnike, pokopavali na različne načine (upepeljevanje, skeletni pokop), na različnih mestih (ob cerkvah, v hišah, v čolnih, v izdolbenih drevesnih deblih, na saneh, v krstah). Verjeli so v posmrtno življenje ter v dušo, vezano na telo, in v svobodno dušo, o čemer pričajo številni arheološki podatki o načinih pokopavanja ter različne šege in verovanja. Številne šege in navade naših prednikov so se ohranile vse do danes, vendar je njihov prvotni pomen pozabljen ali drugače razlagan ter zgolj še navada. Ključne besede: Slovani, smrt, pogrebne šege in navade, slovanski grobovi, žrtvovanje.
