Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu The Familia decided to use Russia’s favorable approach to enacting changes in Poland, and the convocational Confederated Sejm of 1764 began the process of healing the state. The throne was taken by Stanisław August Poniatowski – the last King to be elected. In response, the Polish nobility formed the Bar Confederation. The reason for it was the fear of the strengthening of the King’s position, and the influence of heterodox believers and Russia. After its collapse in 1772, Russia, Austria, and Prussia conducted the first Partition of Poland. During the Partition Sejm, the Commission of National Education was created. Portrait of Stanisław August Poniatowski in his coronaon garb, by Marcello Bacciarelli (1768) Source: Wikimedia Commons, domena publiczna. During the sessions of the so‐called Great Sejm (1788‐1792) of 3 May 1791, the deputies adopted the Constitution. Poland’s political system was to be based on Montesquieu’s separation of powers, and Poland became a constitutional monarchy. The liberum veto was abolished, and the royal throne became hereditary. The army numbers were increased to 100 thousand. The opponents of the reforms, Szczęsny Potocki, Ksawery Branicki, and Seweryn Rzewuski, formed the Targowica Confederation in 1792. A war between the supporters and opponents of the Constitution erupted. The Russian army came to the Confederation’s aid. The King decided to seek a solution with the Tsarina, joining the Targowica Confederation on 23 July 1792. However, it did not protect the country against the Second Partition, enacted on the orders of Catherine II of Russia and King Frederick II of Prussia in 1793. On 24 March 1794, an uprising erupted, with Tadeusz Kościuszko as its commander. In order to recruit the peasants for the insurrection, he issued the Proclamation of Połaniec, limiting socage. On 17 April, Jan Kiliński became the commander of the insurgents in Warsaw, and Jakub Jasiński in Vilnius. The insurgent army’s defeat in the Battle of Maciejowice and the Slaughter of Praga led to the surrender of the defenders of Warsaw. Though the decision of eliminating the Polish statehood was made as early as in 1793, the agreement to enact it was signed by Russia, Austria, and Prussia only on 3 January 1795.

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

    Barbara Werner Główny Specjalista ds. Ogrodów Historycznych Muzeum Łazienki Królewskie TULIPAN Marszałek Józef Piłsudski rośnie i zakwita na 100-lecie odzyskania niepodległości Od końca XVI wieku tulipany, które do Europy zachodniej, do Niderlandów przybyły z Turcji, na dobre zadomowiły się w europejskich ogrodach i nie sposób sobie wyobrazić wiosny bez ich obecności także w Łazienkach Królewskich. Z biegiem czasu z gatunków botanicznych powstała cała gama tysięcy odmian tulipana. Pojawiły się tulipany o różnym kształcie kieli- cha kwiatu, kolorze czy pokroju liści, o zróżnicowanym okresie kwitnienia – od wczesnej do późnej wiosny. Tulipany są obecnie niemalże wszędzie. Są symbolem wio- sny, radości i odradzającej się natury. Prezentują niemal całą gamę kolorów, od białych do prawie czarnych. Są popularne na całym świecie i nierzadko upamiętniają poprzez specjalną „cere- monię chrztu” wybrane wielkie postaci w historii poszczególnych krajów. Nowe odmiany tych niezwykłych, wybranych tulipanów rejestrowane są w Holandii przez Królewskie Powszechne To- warzystwo Uprawy Roślin Cebulowych (Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur, KAVB) o ponad 150-letniej historii, z siedzibą w Hillegom. Jednym z tych nadzwyczajnych, jedynych tulipanów jest ochrzczony 9 maja tego roku w Teatrze Królewskim w Starej Oranżerii Tulipan „Marszałek Józef Piłsudski”. Jest to tulipan z grupy „Triumph”, o pojedynczym kwiecie, mocnej konstrukcji łodygi i liści. Jego kielich, o specjalnym kolorze karminu połączonego z odcieniem fi oletu i różu, na- wiązuje do kolorystyki elementów munduru Marszałka, czyli do aksamitnych wypustek przy kołnierzu o bardzo zbliżonym kolorze. Ten wytworny w kolorze kwiat ma jeden subtelny element. Na dnie kielicha tulipana, po jego rozkwitnięciu, znaj- dziemy złote wypełnienie, które możemy odczytać jako ukryte AZIENEK KRÓLEWSKICH Ł złote serca Marszałka… Od 9 maja 2018 roku pamięć o Marszałku Józefi e Piłsud- skim będzie trwała także w Ogrodzie Łazienek Królewskich, w rokrocznie zakwitającym wspaniałym, majowym tulipanie Jego Imienia.

  • Darius Staliūnas HISTORIOGRAPHY of the LITHUANIAN NATIONAL
    Darius Staliūnas HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE LITHUANIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT CHANGING PARADIGMS The beginning of Lithuanian national historiography and the topic of ‘National Revival’ The Lithuanian historical narrative was formed during the nineteenth century as a component part of a newly developing Lithuanian national discourse. One of the most important and most difficult tasks facing the construction of a modern Lithuanian identity was how to separate it from the Polish identity (as well as from its Russian counterpart, even though Russianness was not regarded as being so parlous for the ‘purification’ of national identity). It therefore comes as no surprise that Lithuanians construed their concept of history as an alternative to the Polish construction (and to a lesser degree to the Russian version). Most nineteenth-century Polish political movements, including schools of history, did not regard the Lithuanians as having any independent political future and so it is not surprising that they were inclined first and foremost to stress the benefits of Polish culture and civilisation in Lithuania’s past. The Lithuanians had no other option than using their authentic ethnic culture as a counterweight to Polish civilisation. Conceiving Lithuanian identity as primarily ethno-cultural values, a concept of Lithuanian history was construed accordingly. The history of Lithuania was considered to be Darius Staliūnas, ‘Historiography of the Lithuanian national movement.

Link to the Lesson You will learn to describe the most important historical events of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; to list the crises that struck Poland in the eighteenth century and what attempts at reform were undertaken; to explain the historical significance of the collapse of the Polish‐Lithuanian Commonwealth. Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu By the eighteenth century, the Polish‐Lithuanian political system became anachronistic. The state was becoming ever weaker. It did not pursue an active foreign policy; it was more of an object than a subject on the international stage. Due to the presence of the liberum veto, the nobility obstructed attempts at reform with ease. One deputy’s vote against a project was enough to dismiss the entire Sejm. The representatives of the nobility oftentimes accepted bribes from foreign powers that wished to keep Poland‐Lithuania weak. Russia had ever more say in the affairs of the country. When Stanisław II Augustus was elected King, some of the patriotically inclined nobles rebelled against his rule and created the Bar Confederation The part of the military that remained loyal to the King suppressed the rebellion with the aid of Russian forces. Capitalizing upon the opportunity, Russia, Austria, and Prussia conducted the First Partition of Poland in 1772.

  • 16Th-19Th Century)
    Jacek Kulbaka DOi: 10.14746/bhw.2018.38.2 Maria Grzegorzewska University From the history of disabilities (16th-19th century) Abstract: The article presents various circumstances (social, legal, philosophical and scientific) connected with the care, upbringing and education of people with disabilities from the early modern era to the beginning of the 20th century. Particular attention was to the history of people with disa- bilities in the Polish lands. The author tried to recall the activity of leading educational activists, ped- agogues and scientists – animators of special education in Poland, Europe and the world. The text also contains information related to the activities of educational and upbringing institutions (institu- tional, organisational, methodological and other aspects). Keywords: Disability, history of disability, blind, mentally handicapped, morally neglected, deaf, education, care, education of people with disabilities The negative perception of disabilities over the centuries has led to the social exclu- sion of thousands of people: deaf, blind, mentally disabled, those with chronic illnesses and otherwise disabled – to follow in the footsteps of typology that was still widespread mid-20th century. We can find confirmation of this state of things in written and non-writ- ten sources, as well as in contemporary Polish studies from the border of pedagogy and psychology of ethnography, cultural studies, archaeology and others1. 1 Cf.

Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Anna Kovalchuk iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Anna Kovalchuk Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2017 Title: Narrating the National Future: The Cossacks in Ukrainian and Russian Romantic Literature This dissertation investigates nineteenth-century narrative representations of the Cossacks—multi-ethnic warrior communities from the historical borderlands of empire, known for military strength, pillage, and revelry—as contested historical figures in modern identity politics. Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.

  • Exits on the Road to Serfdom
    Putting Speed Bumps on the Road to Serfdom James R. Thompson Department of Statistics Rice University February 2017 Dealing with Postmodernism Events do not happen; events are produced.An occurrence becomes an event only when certain groups in society pay attention to it, consider it important, speak and write about it, react to it, and remember it. Thus events are socially constructed. Carola Dietze German Historical Institute Bulletin, no. 40. Few have influenced postmodern modalities of thinking more than the late French philosopher and anthropologist Michel Foucault. Foucault raised serious questions about the validity of time line arguments and about other characteristics of Western thought. Going back to another venerable and much admired civilization, that of China, he wrote extensively about a Chinese encyclopedia in which animals are divided into the following categories: 1. belonging to the Emperor, 2. embalmed, 3. tame, 4. suckling pigs, 5. sirens, 6. fabulous, 7. stray dogs, Michel Foucault 8. included in the present classification, 1926-1984 9. frenzied, 10. innumerable, 11. drawn with a very fine camelhair brush, 12. et cetera, 13. having just broken the water pitcher, 14. that from a long way off look like flies. J. A. Ratzinger From his Regensburg Lecture Modifying the first verse of the Book of Genesis, the first verse of the whole Bible, John began the prologue of his Gospel with the words: "In the beginning was the “Logos". Logos means both reason and word - a reason which is creative and capable of self-communication, precisely as reason. John thus spoke the final word on the biblical concept of God, and in this word all the often toilsome and tortuous threads of biblical faith find their culmination and synthesis.
