Die Informations- und mit ihr verbundene technologische Revolution der letzten beiden Jahrzehnte haben auch die Veröffentlichung von Quellen und den Zugang zu ihnen beeinflusst. Neue Möglichkeiten der Bearbeitung gro- ßer Datenmengen, der leichte Informationsfluss, die elektronische Veröffentli- chung von Text- und Bildmaterialien etc. stellen das Edieren historischer Quel- len vor neue Herausforderungen und erfordern eine neue Reflexion editorischer Arbeit. Vor neuen Herausforderungen stehen auch die Herausgeber historischer Quellen des Alpen-Adria-Raumes, wo freilich in den letzten Jahren die Editionen mittelalterlicher Dokumente von der starken Vitalität wie auch dem Perspekti- venreichtum der Editionsarbeit in diesem Teil Europas zeugen.

Štih: Erwartungen forschender und darstellender Historiker ... Meinen Beitrag verstehe ich als Gelegenheit, einige Probleme, Zustände, Mögli- chkeiten und Perspektiven von Quelleneditionen unter besonderer Berücksi- chtigung unseres engeren Alpen-Adria-Raumes und mit Einschränkung auf das Mittelalter reflektiert aufzuzeigen. Allerdings ist der Titel keineswegs als ein von forschenden und darstellenden Historikern an die an Quelleneditionen arbe- itenden Historiker gerichteter "Wunschkatalog" zu verstehen, mit der Hoffnung, ihre Wünsche und Erwartungen zu erfüllen. Ein solcher Ansatz wäre schon allein deswegen problematisch, weil die Anliegen der Historiker breit gefächert sind. Welcher Text in welcher Form und aus welcher Zeit editionswürdig ist, hängt von den Fragestellungen, Forschungsinteressen und Prioritäten der jeweiligen Forschungspolitik ab. In diesem Sinne sind Editionen auch Produkte und Wider- spiegelungen ihrer Zeit. Außerdem könnte durch einen solchen Ansatz der Ein- druck entstehen, dass zwischen forschenden und edierenden Historikern streng zu unterscheiden wäre. Eine solche Unterscheidung könnte sogar als wertend aufgefasst werden, wenn man meinte, die letztgenannten würden nur auf die Erwartungen und Anliegen der ersteren reagieren. Heinrich Fichtenau hat vor über fünfzehn Jahren die alte Unterscheidung zwischen Urkundenforschern und Diplomatikern aufgegriffen.1 Trotzdem steht fest, dass beide in erster Linie Forscher sind. Dasselbe gilt auch für Quel- leneditoren überhaupt: auch sie sind vornehmlich Forscher und unterschei- den sich von anderen Historikern nur durch ihr Forschungsobjekt und die bei ihrer Arbeit angewandten Methoden und Techniken.

  • The Yugoslav Peoples's Army: Between Civil War and Disintegration
    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. The Yugoslav Peoples's Army: Between Civil War and Disintegration by Dr. Timothy L. Sanz Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. This article appeared originally in Military Review December 1991 Pages 36-45 August, a crisis in the Balkans, and a revolutionary upheaval in part of Europe--these words raise the hair on the back of the neck. Just a bit less than eighty years ago, Europe inaugurated this century of total war, thanks to the inability of its monarchs, statesmen, and generals to deal with a Balkan Crisis, the latest manifestation of what diplomats then called the "accursed Eastern Question." In the wake of that failure of statecraft, million-man armies marched into battle from one end of the continent to the other. Looking back on the long interval of peace which Europe has enjoyed since the end of the Second World War, the present crisis confirms the reality of a profound shift in the European security system and raises the question of whether the emerging security system in Europe will be able to deal with new Balkan crises. For several decades, while the military might of two ideologically-hostile blocs stood poised for action in Central Europe, a hypothetical internal crisis in Yugoslavia was often seen as an element in a scenario for bringing about a NATO-WTO military confrontation.

    WHAT IF THE GALILEO AFFAIR NEVER HAPPENED? ABSTRACT From the 5th Century A.D. to the advent of Scholastic Aristotelianism, the curriculum in Roman Catholic universities in Europe taught a Rotating Geocentric Earth. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225 A.D.-1274 A.D.) introduced the writings of Aristotle (384 B.C.-322 B.C.) and of Claudius Ptolemy (100 A.D.-170 A.D.) in the 13th Century A.D., and the curriculum changed to teach a Non-Rotating Geocentric Earth. In this GSJ presentation, an Alternate History is presented. The famous Trial of Galileo never happened and the book by Nicolaus Copernicus was never banned by the Vatican of the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church simply ignored Galileo & his insulting book of 1632 A.D. The Roman Catholic Church Astronomers produced the Gregorian Calendar in 1583 A.D. The Roman Catholic Astronomers had abandoned the Aristotle/Ptolemy Model of Astronomy and had replaced it with the Non-Rotating Tychonian Model. This is NOT Alternate History. Johann Kepler published. That is NOT Alternate History. Isaac Newton published Principia, too. Christian Huygens contributed to the technology of the Mechanical Clock. Mechanical Time and Sundial Time demonstrate two similar but not identical paths. This is NOT Alternate History, either. The writer that is known as Voltaire (1694-1778) campaigned for Newton’s Principia as did Willem Gravesande (1688-1742). Pierre-Simon LaPlace (1748-1827) rescued Newton’s Celestial Mechanics of Universal Gravitation and Kepler’s Elliptical Orbits from disequilibrium issues in 1804A.D. Friedrich Bessel (1784-1846) discovered the first star to exhibit Stellar Parallax in 1838.

  • 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.

  • THE MEANING of YUGOSLAV HISTORY1 Sabrina P. Ramet
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Washington: ResearchWorks Journal Hosting Slovene Studies 31.2 (2009): 139–48 THE MEANING OF YUGOSLAV HISTORY1 Sabrina P. Ramet The announcement in early June 2006 that Montenegro was ending its 87½-year union with Serbia and restoring its independence and the subsequent declaration of independence by Kosovo in February 2008 may not be the end of the story of Yugoslav disintegration, since there has been constant drum-beating about possible secession from Bosnia-Herzegovina on the part of the Republika Srpska. In addition, the continued insistence by Serbia that Kosovo’s independence is “illegal” (under the Serbian constitution) serves as a reminder that the aftershocks of the fateful War of Yugoslav Succession continue, and once again raises the question of the meaning of the history of the now-defunct Yugoslav state. Many observers look at the history of the three Yugoslavias and, on seeing both expressions of nationalist resentment and fear on the one hand and the dysfunctionality of Yugoslav institutions of state on the other hand, have concluded that the former was the cause of the latter. In its crudest form, this is the notion (to call it a “theory” would be to employ too grand a term) that the region is riddled with “ancient hatreds,” and since the ancient world is conventionally seen as having ended with the fall of Rome in 476, this would require that we believe that the various groups were fighting each other already before they were living in the Balkans and before they were either Christians or Muslims—indeed, at a time when all of them worshipped a multiplicity of deities.

  • Februar 2019
    Februar 2019 Vor 551 Jahren geboren JOHANNES WERNER (14.02.1468 – Mai 1522) Im Jahre 1472 wurde in Ingolstadt die erste Universität Bayerns durch Herzog LUDWIG IX von Bayern-Landshut ge- gründet. Nach der Kirchenspaltung ab 1530 entwickelte sich die Hochschule unter dem Einfluss des Jesuitenordens zu einem der Zentren der Gegenreformation. Kurfürst MAXI - MILIAN , der spätere bayerische König MAXIMILIAN I, ver- legte 1800 die Universität zunächst nach Landshut, dann nach München – seit 1802 trägt sie den heutigen Namen: LUDWIG -MAXIMILIAN s-Universität (LMU). 1484 schreibt sich der in Nürnberg geborene 16-jährige JOHANNES WERNER an der theologischen Fakultät der Ingolstädter Hochschule ein. Auch wenn es von Kind an sein Wunsch gewesen ist, Mathematiker zu werden, verfolgt er nun doch konsequent den Weg zum Priesterberuf: 1490 wird er als Kaplan in Herzogenaurach tätig, verbringt einige Jahre in Rom, wechselt 1498 an eine Pfarrei in Wöhrd bei Nürnberg, bis er schließlich Pfarrer der Johanniskirche in Nürnberg wird. Die Pflichten dieses Amtes nimmt er gewissenhaft bis zu seinem Tod wahr. Seine Zeit in Rom hatte WERNER bereits zu intensiven Studien der Mathematik und der Astronomie genutzt. Nach Nürnberg zurückgekehrt, vertieft er sich in eigene Forschungen. So beo- bachtet er im Jahr 1500 die Bewegung eines Kometen, führt Messungen mit selbstgebauten Instrumenten aus und dokumen- tiert alle Daten mit Sorgfalt. Mit großem Geschick baut er Astrolabien (Sternhöhen- messer) und Sonnenuhren, konstruiert einen besonderen Jakobsstab mit Winkeleinteilung. 1514 erscheint WERNER s Übersetzung der Geographia des CLAUDIUS PTOLEMÄUS (In Hoc Opere Haec Continentur Nova Translatio Primi Libri Geographicae Cl. Ptolomaei ). Zusätzlich zu umfangreichen Kommentaren entwickelt er eigene Ideen, die in Astronomie und Geografie angewandt werden können.

  • Yugoslav Destruction After the Cold War
    STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR A dissertation presented by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2015 STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December 2015 2 Abstract This research investigates the causes of Yugoslavia’s violent destruction in the 1990’s. It builds its argument on the interaction of international and domestic factors. In doing so, it details the origins of Yugoslav ideology as a fluid concept rooted in the early 19th century Croatian national movement. Tracing the evolving nationalist competition among Serbs and Croats, it demonstrates inherent contradictions of the Yugoslav project. These contradictions resulted in ethnic outbidding among Croatian nationalists and communists against the perceived Serbian hegemony. This dynamic drove the gradual erosion of Yugoslav state capacity during Cold War. The end of Cold War coincided with the height of internal Yugoslav conflict. Managing the collapse of Soviet Union and communism imposed both strategic and normative imperatives on the Western allies. These imperatives largely determined external policy toward Yugoslavia. They incentivized and inhibited domestic actors in pursuit of their goals. The result was the collapse of the country with varying degrees of violence. The findings support further research on international causes of civil wars.

  • Irish Kings and Carinthian Dukes: John Lynch Revisited
    Part I(b) New_Layout 1 19/12/2012 12:01 Page 196 Irish kings and Carinthian dukes: John Lynch revisited ANNETTE KEHNEL Twenty years ago, Katharine Simms, my supervisor and mentor, challenged me incidentally with a very continental European phenonemen, an odd Carinthian inauguration rite, mentioned by John Lynch in 1662 . I have often asked myself what gave her the idea. I suppose it was because I came from continental Europe. However, I got hooked on this very topic, which since has marked a significant direction of my research, focusing on the history of power, that is to say, on political rituals of status elevation. Katharine’s hint to have a closer look initiated a long-term project. Starting from the well-known inauguration of the Irish king of Tír Conaill (Donegal) – a marginal example from the Celtic fringes – she directed my attention to the Carinthian ceremony, away from the Celtic fringes to the very centre of medieval Europe. In this essay, I will first briefly recapitulate the Irish case and then move on to present an overview on the source of the Carinthian inauguration. IRISH KINGS Gerald of Wales (Giraldus Cambrensis) reports the following story about the inauguration of the kings of Tír Conaill in his Topographia Hibernie : A new and outlandish way of confirming kingship and dominion: […] There is in the northern and farther part of Ulster, namely in Kenelcunill, a certain people which is accustomed to appoint its king with a rite altogether outlandish and abominable. When the whole people of that land has been gathered together in one place, a white mare is brought forward into the middle of the assembly.

  • Fundamentals of Slovenian Paremiology
    FUNDAMENTALS OF SLOVENIAN PAREMIOLOGY PETER GRZYBEK This article discusses some major theoretical issues concerning Razprava obravnava nekatera glavna vprašanja dokumen- the documentation and study of proverbs in general, and tacije in raziskovanja pregovorov na splošno in še posebej of Slovenian proverbs in particular. The author argues slovenskih pregovorov. Avtor zagovarja tesno vzajemno in favor of a close interplay between paremiography and povezavo med paremiografijo in paremiologijo.

Some initial results of an empirical seznanjenosti s slovenskimi pregovori ne le z ozirom na nji- study on familiarity with Slovenian proverbs are presented hov pomen za paremiografijo, temveč tudi za jezikoslovne, and discussed with regard to their relevance not only for poetične in druge analize. paremiography, but also for linguistic, poetic, and other Ključne besede: pregovor (teorija, definicija, klasifika- analyses. cija), paremiografija, paremiologija, empirični prijemi, Keywords: Proverb (theory, definition, classification), metode. paremiography, paremiology, empirical approaches. INTRODUCTION Slovenian proverbs have been the object of numerous scholarly studies. On closer exami- nation, most of these studies have focused on the history of documenting and collecting Slovenian proverbs; that is, they are primarily oriented towards paremiography [cf., among others, Grafenauer 1952, Rode 1989, Stanonik 2000]. In comparison, paremiological stud- ies (i.e., scholarly analyses of proverbs themselves) represent only a minority of approaches; in addition, they are positivistic and symptomatic, rather than systematic – for example, Förster’s [1992] linguistic analyses. In this sense, Grafenauer’s [1952: 17] early statement that the scholarly study of Slovenian proverbs has not yet been carried out satisfactorily remains true.

  • LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.
