    H-Nationalism The “Majority Question” in Interwar Romania: Making Majorities from Minorities in a Heterogeneous State Discussion published by Emmanuel Dalle Mulle on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 H-Nationalism is proud to publish here the sixth post of its “Minorities in Contemporary and Historical Perspectives” series, which looks at majority- minority relations from a multi-disciplinary and diachronic angle. Today’s contribution, by R. Chris Davis (Lone Star College–Kingwood), examines the efforts of Romanian nation-builders to make Romanians during the interwar period. Heterogeneity in Interwar Romania While the situation of ethnic minorities in Romania has been examined extensively within the scholarship on the interwar period, far too little consideration is given into the making of the Romanian ethnic majority itself. My reframing of the “minority question” into its corollary, the “majority question,” in this blogpost draws on my recently published book examining the contested identity of the Moldavian Csangos, an ethnically fluid community of Romanian- and Hungarian-speaking Roman Catholics in eastern Romania.[1] While investigating this case study of a putative ethnic, linguistic, and religious minority, I was constantly reminded that not only minorities but also majorities are socially constructed, crafted from regional, religious, and linguistic bodies and identities. Transylvanians, Bessarabians, and Bănățeni (people from the Banat region) and Regațeni (inhabitants of Romania’s Old Kingdom), for example, were rendered into something

  • Cursed Days, a Diary of the Revolution'
    H-Russia Rose on Bunin, 'Cursed Days, A Diary of the Revolution' Review published on Thursday, October 1, 1998 Ivan Bunin. Cursed Days, A Diary of the Revolution. Chicago: Ivan R. Dee Publisher, 1998. xiii + 286 pp. $28.50 (paper), ISBN 978-1-56663-186-0. Reviewed by Linda P. Rose (Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, University of California at Los Angeles) Published on H-Russia (October, 1998) Revolutionary Days: Still Cursed? Cursed Days, Ivan Bunin's diary/notebook written during and about the Russian Revolution and the Civil War, became immensely popular in Russia after the Soviets lost power through a bloodless revolution. Since 1991, no less than fifteen separate editions of Bunin's diary/notebook have been published in Russia. There can be many explanations for the diary/notebook's popularity. Bunin's diary/notebook and other works, along with the books of other Russian emigre authors, were banned by the Soviets by the end of the 1920's. Although they could not be bought in stores, these authors could not be eliminated from the hearts and minds of some Russians. With the Soviets' downfall, many sought to know more about the events that had occurred between 1918-1920. Another, perhaps more pressing motive for the readers was to understand more about their own evolving revolution. While the Bolsheviks' dependence on bloodshed to re-shape Russia has not been copied by their successors since the 1991 Revolution, ethnic strife, economic woes, and social upheaval have accompanied the revolution. The battles in Chechnya continue. Economic problems are common, and many public servants and the military personnel get sub-existence wages.

    ©Copyright 2017 Yu Sasaki Precocious Enough to Rationalize Culture? Explaining the Success and Failure of Nation-building in Europe, 1400–2000 Yu Sasaki A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Anthony Gill, Chair Edgar Kiser Victor Menaldo Steven Pfaff Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Political Science University of Washington Abstract Precocious Enough to Rationalize Culture? Explaining the Success and Failure of Nation-building in Europe, 1400–2000 Yu Sasaki Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Anthony Gill Political Science Why do some ethnic groups consolidate their cultural practices earlier than others? Extant schol- arship in ethnicity, nations, and state-building hypothesizes that the state is the most important determinant. In my dissertation, I argue that it is not the only channel and there are other fac- tors that matter. In three standalone essays, I investigate the role of (1) geography, (2) technology, and (3) public goods provision at the ethnic-group level. I provide a simple conceptual frame- work of how each of these determinants affects cultural consolidation for ethnic groups. I argue that geographical conditions and technology adoption can have a positive impact on ethnic groups’ ability to develop unique cultural attributes without an independent state. Although they may be politically incorporated by stronger groups in the modern period, they still demand self-rule or standardize their vernacular. I also argue that, in contrast with the expectation from the political economy research on ethnicity, cultural consolidation does not always yield public goods provision at the ethnic-group level.

  • Glossary of Bridge Terms
    GLOSSARY OF BRIDGE TERMS Alert When your partner makes a conventional bid you must alert this to the opponents by knocking the table (or displaying the ‘Alert’ card if using bidding boxes). Auction Another term for the bidding. Avoidance An attempt to prevent a particular defender from regaining the lead. Balanced A hand containing no void, no singleton and not more than one Hand doubleton. Barrier When planning your opener's rebid, imagine a ‘barrier’ just above your first suit at the next level up. A new suit rebid below the barrier shows 12-15 points (occasionally 16 or 17 points after a 1 level response when opener doesn’t have enough for a jump shift). A new suit rebid above the barrier that isn’t a jump shift shows 16-19 points (also known as a reverse). Blocked A suit is blocked if there is a high card in the short hand that prevents the suit from being cashed. A player will often aim to unblock the suit. Break The way in which the defenders’ cards in a particular suit are divided between their two hands. For example, a 4-2 break indicates that with 6 cards in a suit missing, one defender has 4 cards of the suit and his partner has 2 cards. Also referred to as split. Cash Playing a card that is certain to win the trick. This card is known as a master. Clear a suit Knocking out the opponents’ last stopper in a suit, after which it will be possible to cash one’s tricks in the suit.

  • Dialectics of Sin: Snokhachestvo Incest in Maxim Gorky's Fiction
    CONTINENTAL THOUGHT & THEORY: A JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM Thinking Sin: Contemporary Acts and Sensibilities Volume 3 | Issue 2: Thinking Sin 123-142 | ISSN: 2463-333X Dialectics of Sin: snokhachestvo Incest in Maxim Gorky’s Fiction Henrietta Mondry Russian literature famously contributed to thinking about sin in the works of its most celebrated writers, such as Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy, dubbed as “Russian thinkers” to denote their contribution to moral, philosophical, and psychological thought.1 Dostoevsky explored the problem of sin and crime in Crime and Punishment, and in his last most philosophical novel, The Brothers Karamazov (1880), he even posited the problem of the hereditary nature of sin with its focus on the family. Leo Tolstoy also explored the relations between sin, crime and evil within the family, notably in his play The Power of Darkness (1886) that controversially depicted the Russian peasant family as home to criminal and sinful acts of incest and murder. So powerful was Tolstoy’s indictment that the play was forbidden to be staged till 1902. My present investigation focuses of the work of another celebrated classic of Russian literature, Maxim Gorky (1868-1936), whose contribution to thinking about sin/crime in relation to the workings of the Russian family has not been fully explored. In particular, his stories reveal a preoccupation with the theme of father and daughter-in-law incest, in direct relation to the notion of sin in Judeo-Christian tradition. Writing on the topic of sin and evil in European literature, Ronald Paulson has noted that topics of sin in literature often relate to transgressions of sexual prohibitions set out in Leviticus in the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible).2 Paulson uses the writings of the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur who maintains in his The Symbolism of Evil, that “sin does not so much signify a harmful substance” but rather a violated personal relation to God, a violation of a religious bond, of a contract with the deity himself (p.

  • Appendix O to the ACBL General Conditions of Contest: Online Play
    Appendix O to the ACBL General Conditions of Contest: Online Play 1) Cheating: Cheating online is a serious offense, subject to the same penalties as cheating in live play. It is illegal to communicate with your partner during a hand via any means other than chat to the full table, to communicate with a kibitzer during the game, to play using an account that is not yours, to gain advanced knowledge of a deal, or to play in one event using multiple accounts. Any accusation of cheating must be made privately to the director of the event, to the ACBL Recorder, or to a reporting mechanism provided by the online platform. 2) Alerts: Alerts (including announcements) are made by the player making the call. An alerted call should be accompanied by an explanation. Stating the common or popular name of the convention is not sufficient. You are encouraged to explain calls even if those calls do not require alerts. Any call that would be alerted after the auction in live bridge should be alerted at the time of the call. 3) Any contestant may request information concerning an opponent’s methods. Such inquiries should be directed to the player who made the call and must be asked in a private chat. Replies to these inquiries must likewise be given in a private chat. When playing with a Zoom (or the equivalent) screenmate follow up questions are permitted regardless of which player made the call or play. 4) Tempo: In general, bids and plays within 10 seconds are considered to be in tempo.

  • Vladimir Hrabar: the Cosmopolitan International Lawyer
    138 АЛьманах Международного права • Выпуск 3 • Lauri MälkSoo Professor of international law at the university of tartu, Estonia VLADIMIR HRABAR: THE COSMOPOLITAN INTERNATIONAL LAWYER «Many of the achievements of the European civilization have been sacrificed in the war by this or another warring party light-heartedly, in order to achieve short- term gains. A lot of contemporary international law has been swept away in this global fight. But we do not need to worry about the future. In history, periods of peaceful construction follow periods of destruction. So it will be now too.»1 Vladimir Hrabar, in March 1917 1. life In 1952, an old distinguished scholar Vladimir Emmanuilovich Hrabar arrived with his wife Maria Passek (1893-1975), the daughter of the pre-World War I rector of Iur’ev University, on a Moscow train at the train station in Tartu. There, Hrabar was welcomed by the rector of Tartu State University Fyodor Klement and the then lecturer (later professor) of international law, Abner Uustal. Hrabar’s personal notes reveal that he had been very moved by the occasion: he had not seen Tartu since he left the university town in 1918. Many things had changed, especially given the destruction suffered during the Second World War, yet the essence of the old university town had remained unchanged. Later Hrabar remarked in his memoirs: «I am more than 87 years old. 25 of those years I have lived in Tartu. The time spent there was the happiest in my life and the most fruitful one in my scholarly activity. Today, I remember it with gratitude.»2 Hrabar was born on 10(22) January 1865, in Vienna, in an intellectually active Carpatho-Rusyn family3.
