A Grand Historic Loop? Reading the Cold War as the Present Mitchell Belfer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr’s epigram that the ‘more things change, the more they stay the same,’ has underscored the logic of internation- al political life throughout the ages. That people have been duped by their leaders and each other, that the promise of international progress is eclipsed by the realities of runaway nationalisms and exclusion and that petty differences are exaggerated to insurmountable levels has formed a main artery in the metanarrative of civilisation despite long periods of wound-licking and reflection. Each passing decade and ebb- ing century bears witness to humanity and its barbarity doppelganger. Unfortunately, records are meant to be broken. The 20th century – the most destructive in history – had promised so much. International cooperation, economic productivity, technological advances and dia- logue were meant to have replaced violence and armed force. And yet each innovation that brought people closer together were first used to assail one another: trains shifted armies in one direction and the van- quished in another, factories turned out the means of warfare while medical experimentation was deployed in horrific ways as a means of genocide, democide and gendercide. As the century’s early wars of nation gave way its later wars of ide- ology, the globalising technologies of international transportation and trade ensured that no state or people would be spared as the great- and superpowers engaged in proxy war while pitting nation against nation in a series of conflicts and crises collectively referred to as the Cold War. This was an age of innocence lost; democratic and demagogic dictatorships stood shoulder to shoulder as socialism was hijacked and used as a tool of repression. There was no “right” side to that war. But there were victims. There were victims of circumstance and vic- tims of trust – those that had their roles laid-out for them and those that believed the rhapsody of their partners. There were those that 6 played bloc-politics because they were obliged and those that witting- ly joined the fray because of the orientation of their national moral compasses. In either case, the great powers bear responsibility for the turbulence of the 20th century; a century whose wounds remain deep and open. Editor’s For this reason, it is essential not to relegate the Cold War to his- Analysis torical renditions but to treat those times as the pillars of the contem- porary international environment. The European map that packaged the nation neatly into the state is a testament of those dark times. In Africa, the right angles of national frontiers bespeak a colonialism that severed nations and ensured a century of turmoil to rectify historical wrongs. Latin America and Asia – on the periphery of 20th century con- volutions – are prone to dictatorship and internal combustion. And the small states? These have been deeply instumentalised by the raw ambitions of the powerful. From the vantage of the post-Cold War order, which prioritises hu- man and not national security, it is easy to forget the nuances of polit- ical intrigue from a short history ago. But that was not another world, just a different version. So far, Karr has been correct. Every generation promises peace and every other generation delivers mortal combat. But Karr was no prophet; he was a satirist poking fun at the incredulity of a progressing humanity that lacked the wherewithal to progress. His was a lesson that has not yet been learned; there is no such thing as political or human determinism. History is neither a loop nor elastic, it is only human. 7 Cold War Engagements: Czechoslovakia and Latin America Political, economic, and cultural relations between Czechoslovakia and Latin America in the second half of the 20th century Kateřina Březinová Traditional interpretations of Latin America’s Cold War describe these affairs as a direct outcome of superpower rivalry in the region or as a result of u.s. democracy-promotion programs.

    Aftermath: Accounting for the Holocaust in the Czech Republic Krista Hegburg Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERISTY 2013 © 2013 Krista Hegburg All rights reserved Abstract Aftermath: Accounting for the Holocaust in the Czech Republic Krista Hegburg Reparations are often theorized in the vein of juridical accountability: victims of historical injustices call states to account for their suffering; states, in a gesture that marks a restoration of the rule of law, acknowledge and repair these wrongs via financial compensation. But as reparations projects intersect with a consolidation of liberalism that, in the postsocialist Czech Republic, increasingly hinges on a politics of recognition, reparations concomitantly interpellate minority subjects as such, instantiating their precarious inclusion into the body po litic in a way that vexes the both the historical justice and contemporary recognition reparatory projects seek. This dissertation analyzes claims made by Czech Romani Holocaust survivors in reparations programs, the social work apparatus through which they pursued their claims, and the often contradictory demands of the complex legal structures that have governed eligibility for reparations since the immediate aftermath of the war, and argues for an ethnographic examination of the forms of discrepant reciprocity and commensuration that underpin, and often foreclose, attempts to account for the Holocaust in contemporary Europe.

  • Introduction: the Lusophone World at War, 1914-1918 and Beyond
    Introduction: The Lusophone World at War, 1914-1918 and Beyond Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses1 On March 9, 1916, Germany declared war in Portugal. In response, Lisbon sent a fighting force, the Corpo Expedicionário Português [CEP], to France, where it held a portion of the Western Front until April 9, 1918. In addition, a number of smaller expeditions were dispatched to secure Mozambique and, if possible, participate in the conquest of German East Africa. Both theatres of war were a source of frustration for the Portuguese, and participation in the conflict fell far short of the hopes deposited in it by its defenders. As interventionist politicians slowly lost control over the country’s destiny after the war’s end, the conflict faded from the public’s awareness, its memory kept alive essentially among those who had direct experience with combat. For decades, Portugal’s participation in World War I was generally ignored, or reduced to a historical cul-de-sac, a pointless, if expensive, military episode. However, our understanding of the conflict’s impact on Portugal and its importance in the subsequent course of the country’s history has increased immeasurably over the past twenty years. The centenary commemorations for both the Republic, in 2010, and the Great War itself, starting in 2014, have naturally contributed to this process. In March of 2016, on the hundredth anniversary of Portugal’s intervention in the conflict, a colloquium was held at Brown University as an attempt to insert Portugal’s war experience into a wider, but intimately related, context: that of the Lusophone world.

  • A Century of Czech Tramping 19 FOLKLORICA 2011, Vol. XVI ARTICLES a Century of Czech Tramping Jan Pohunek Institute of Ethnology
    A Century of Czech tramping 19 ARTICLES A Century of Czech tramping Jan Pohunek Institute of Ethnology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The article describes the history and major characteristics of an independent Czech youth movement called “tramping”. The movement originated in the 1910s-1920s as an unorganized offshoot of boy scouting and E. T. Seton’s Woodcraft and quickly became popular among urban teens and young adults. It was simply a way of spending time outdoors with friends at first, heavily influenced by early western movies and Wild West aesthetics in general, but became a distinctive subculture and cultural phenomenon during the following decades. Some of its unique aspects include specific music, slang, art and dress code. Czech tramping is also an interesting example of an early youth subculture, which is comparable to post-WW2 subcultures and which survived into the present day although its participants were often persecuted, especially under the communist regime. Another topic discussed is the fact that the movement kept its independence even under political pressure, rejected all attempts to organize it hierarchically and while it sometimes had a dimension of a protest culture in the 20th century, it can be considered to be apolitical in general. It is now almost a hundred years since an interesting modern folk cultural phenomenon began to establish itself in Bohemia. ‘Tramping’ (1), as it is called nowadays, can be described as an unorganized youth movement, or a subculture, that is heavily inspired by the romantic image of the American Wild West and that manifests itself mostly through outdoor social activities such as hiking or camping, accompanied by specific styles of music, slang, architecture, art and clothing.

  • Post-War Societies (Czechoslovakia) | International Encyclopedia of The
    Version 1.0 | Last updated 15 June 2021 Post-war Societies (Czechoslovakia) By Ota Konrád Although the Czechoslovak Republic experienced social breakdown and a wave of violence in the immediate post-war years, as did other countries in the region, it managed to overcome the postwar shock successfully. This article explores the main features of postwar Czechoslovak social development and politics. It argues that the specific postwar setting shaped how Czechoslovak society evolved after the war. It further suggests that wartime suffering and postwar chaos do not inherently represent a direct threat to postwar democracy. Table of Contents 1 From the Dissolution of the Old Order to Rise of the New 2 Social Policy and Social Status of War Veterans 3 Uniformed Violence 4 Victorious Narrative and Its Limits 5 Conclusion Notes Selected Bibliography Citation From the Dissolution of the Old Order to Rise of the New The founding of the new Czechoslovak state on 28 October 1918 played a role only in the Czech parts of the Czech lands. In the German-speaking regions of the Czech lands, another national revolution occurred. German politicians declared the provinces of German Bohemia and Sudetenland to be part of the newly founded German-Austria on 29 October 1918, which also encompassed the southern parts of South Bohemia and South Moravia. In Slovakia, about 200 Slovak political representatives gathered in the Slovak town of Turčianský Svätý Martin on 30 October 1918 and – unaware of the developments in Prague – proclaimed the independence of Slovakia from Hungary and unification with the Czech lands in a new Czechoslovak state.[1] The later official narrative which adopted the perspective of the Czech political elites spoke about the unified will of the “Czechoslovak” nation, which deliberately initiated the creation of an independent Czechoslovak national state based on the democratic and humanistic ideals of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (1850-1937).

  • What Were the Effects of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake on Eighteenth-Century Religious
    Extracting testable hypotheses from historical scholarship: What were the effects of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake on eighteenth-century religious minds? Abstract (149) This paper articulates two competing explanations about cognitive effects of the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and preliminarily assesses them against historical documents. Humanities scholars' voluminous writings on the earthquake imply a Secularizing Interpretation on which the earthquake caused cognitive change across social classes and geographical regions. Results from the cognitive science of religion yield a Supernatural Punishment account denying cognitive changes implied by the Secularizing Hypothesis and instead implying people interpreted this earthquake as caused by God on purpose as a punishment on the out-group. This paper advocates the Supernatural Punishment account in two steps. A preliminary review of writings of philosophers and elites reveals little to no secularizing cognitive change. A preliminary review of writings of religious authors reveals increases in religious and Supernatural Punishment cognition after the earthquake. This project suggests interdisciplinary methods for researchers in the Humanities with which to put their interpretations to the test. 1 Paper (10479) Correspondence of the Dutch in Lisbon at the time of the Lisbon earthquake reveals that The Hague’s ambassador to Portugal Charles Bosc de la Calmette was moved by the suffering and desperation he witnessed amongst Lisboan Roman Catholics (De Jong 1955). Ambassador from 1751-1758, Calmette was a Huguenot who knew desperation. His Protestant family fled to Holland from persecution by Catholics in France. A letter dated 6 November 1755 written by Abraham Castres, King George II’s envoy, indicates Castres and Calmette were the first ambassadors to have an audience with King Jose after the earthquake.
