  • Names in Multi-Lingual, -Cultural and -Ethic Contact
    Oliviu Felecan, Romania 399 Romanian-Ukrainian Connections in the Anthroponymy of the Northwestern Part of Romania Oliviu Felecan Romania Abstract The first contacts between Romance speakers and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. These contacts continued through the centuries till now. This paper approaches the Romanian – Ukrainian connection from the perspective of the contemporary names given in the Northwestern part of Romania. The linguistic contact is very significant in regions like Maramureş and Bukovina. We have chosen to study the Maramureş area, as its ethnic composition is a very appropriate starting point for our research. The unity or the coherence in the field of anthroponymy in any of the pilot localities may be the result of the multiculturalism that is typical for the Central European area, a phenomenon that is fairly reflected at the linguistic and onomastic level. Several languages are used simultaneously, and people sometimes mix words so that speakers of different ethnic origins can send a message and make themselves understood in a better way. At the same time, there are common first names (Adrian, Ana, Daniel, Florin, Gheorghe, Maria, Mihai, Ştefan) and others borrowed from English (Brian Ronald, Johny, Nicolas, Richard, Ray), Romance languages (Alessandro, Daniele, Anne, Marie, Carlos, Miguel, Joao), German (Adolf, Michaela), and other languages. *** The first contacts between the Romance natives and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. As a result, some words from all the fields of onomasiology were borrowed, and the phonological system was changed, once the consonants h, j and z entered the language.

  • Democracy and Academic Education in Minority Languages. the Special Case of Romania Michaela Mudure
    Democracy and Academic Education in Minority Languages. The Special Case of Romania Michaela Mudure Final Report During the research period for our project on Democracy and Academic Education in Minority Languages. The Special Case of Romania we worked with very varied sources in order to have a perspective as detached and comprehensive as possible. In Romania we studied the materials (books, journals, newspapers) existent at the Library of the Romanian Academy, the main library of Babe_-Bolyai University, the Library of the Faculty of Letters from Cluj, Romania. We studied the documents and statements on or of the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities and the reports from the Seminar on "The Education of National Minorities in Romania". We also contacted the office of the Council of Europe in Bucharest, which proved to be very helpful. This is how we could order books/publications on democracy, human rights, minorities, human rights education and intercultural education. Studying these materials we came to the conclusion, at least, for this stage of the development of the European Union, that there is not a very precise, easy to grasp opinion of the Council of Europe on the complex issue of the relationships between the state and minorities. A lot depends on local conditions, history, activism of the minority groups, general tolerance of society. Consequently, the problem of education in minority languages, in general, and academic/tertiary education in minority languages, in particular, is also treated ambivalently in the documents of the Council of Europe. A lot is also left for the states themselves. This is understandable as the Council of Europe is based upon the voluntary acceptance of its rules by the states.

  • Life Narratives, Common Language and Diverse Ways of Belonging 1
    Volume 16, No. 2, Art. 16 May 2015 Life Narratives, Common Language and Diverse Ways of Belonging Katarzyna Kwapisz Williams Key words: Abstract: The article discusses my experiences of gradual immersion into the community of Polish insider; migrants to Australia, which I joined while researching life writing of Polish post-war women positionality; migrants to Australia. I focus on how my assumptions concerning commonality of culture and language; gender; language transformed during the preliminary stages of my research. I initially assumed that Polish diaspora; speaking the same language as the writers whose works I study, and their ethnic community, would Australia; life position me as a person sharing the same cultural knowledge, and allow me immediate access to writing; participant research participants. Yet, the language I considered to be the major marker of ethnic identity observation exhibited multiplicity instead of unity of experiences, positions and conceptual worlds. Instead, gender, which I had considered a fluid and unstable category highly context-dependent especially in the migration framework, proved to be an important element of interaction and communication between myself and my research participants. I have learnt that it is critical for research on diaspora, including diaspora's literary cultures, to account for other identity markers that include me as a researcher into some Polish community groups while excluding from others. I base my contribution on various kinds of materials, including field notes, fieldwork diaries and interviews with Polish writers as well as secondary literature on Poles and Australians of Polish extraction in Australia.

  • Hungarian Relations, Catholicism and Christian Democracy
    Originalni naučni rad Michaela Moravčíková 1 UDK: 327(437.6:439) 323.1(=511.141)(437.6) 272(437.6+439) SLOVAK – HUNGARIAN RELATIONS, CATHOLICISM AND CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY Consequences of the Treaty of Trianon In 1995 Václav Havel stated that the paths of Czechs and Germans are intertwined. One year later Rudolf Chmel, a former (and the last) Czechoslovak Ambassador to Hungary expanded on this idea that it is also true for Slovaks and Hungarians. And this is the reason why the issue of historic Slovak-Hungarian reconciliation is urgent and, in fact, fated2. The Peace Treaty of Trianon, signed in 1920, and the Treaty of Paris, signed in 1947, which replaced the Treaty of Trianon3, are considered by the Hungarians unjust and seen very neuralgic points in the history of Hungary. When the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Hungary, a mid-size European country, became one of the small states of Central Europe. In Budapest on 4 June 1920 all newspapers were printed with a black frame, the flags were placed at half-mast, usual life stopped and protest meetings took place. Following the mourning ceremonies in the basilica and other churches, the national assembly started its session. The chairman of the House of Parliament István Rakovszky in his speech, inter alia, passed the message to the “citizens of separated parts of the country”: “After a thousand years of living together, we have to separate, but not forever. From this moment all our thoughts, every beat of our hearts, day and night, will aim to reunite us, in all our former glory, all our former grandeur.

  • Slovakia by Grigorij Mesežnikov and Gabriela Pleschová1
    SHARP POWER Rising Authoritarian Influence CHAPTER 5 Sharp Power: Rising Authoritarian Influence Testing Democratic Resolve in Slovakia By Grigorij Mesežnikov and Gabriela Pleschová1 This study examines the soft power activities of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China as they relate to Slovakia. The “soft power” mechanisms2 of particu- lar states should be examined in a number of contexts, including the nature of the state’s political regime; the hierarchy of foreign-policy priorities of that state and the place that soft power promotion occupies in this hierarchy; the nature of bilateral relations between the pro- moter and the target of soft power; and the internal conditions in the target country. Russia and China are non-free states with nondemocratic political regimes whose actions are characterized by the illiberal exercise of power. Both are key international players: Each holds the status of permanent member of the UN Security Council, and each is a nuclear power with specific geopolitical interests accompanied by assertive or even aggressive foreign policies that are marked by expansionist practices and rhetoric. To a certain degree, these factors have prompted Russia and China to embrace similar forms of soft power strategies. At the same time, there are important differences between Russian- and Chinese-style soft power. With regard to Slovakia in particular, these differences spring from the coun- tries’ historic relationships with Central Europe and Slovakia, and their objectives in the region. Differences between Russia’s and China’s respective roles in international trade relations should be taken into account, as should the proportion and manner of their partici- pation in the international division of labor, which affects the interactions of each with the outer world.
