Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions. -

It explores the construction of sociology as a field of knowledge, academic discipline and professional practice in Kyrgyzstan (formerly the Kirgiz Soviet Socialist Republic) from 1966 to 2003, focusing on the late and post-socialist project to transform sociology from a heteronomous to autonomous field of knowledge and practice. It draws especially on the sociology of knowledge and science to explore the localised processes through which social scientific knowledge and political power have been co-constituted on the imperial periphery. -

Ungovernability and Material Life in Urban South Africa
“WHERE THERE IS FIRE, THERE IS POLITICS”: Ungovernability and Material Life in Urban South Africa KERRY RYAN CHANCE Harvard University Together, hand in hand, with our boxes of matches . we shall liberate this country. —Winnie Mandela, 1986 Faku and I stood surrounded by billowing smoke. In the shack settlement of Slovo Road,1 on the outskirts of the South African port city of Durban, flames flickered between piles of debris, which the day before had been wood-plank and plastic tarpaulin walls. The conflagration began early in the morning. Within hours, before the arrival of fire trucks or ambulances, the two thousand house- holds that comprised the settlement as we knew it had burnt to the ground. On a hillcrest in Slovo, Abahlali baseMjondolo (an isiZulu phrase meaning “residents of the shacks”) was gathered in a mass meeting. Slovo was a founding settlement of Abahlali, a leading poor people’s movement that emerged from a burning road blockade during protests in 2005. In part, the meeting was to mourn. Five people had been found dead that day in the remains, including Faku’s neighbor. “Where there is fire, there is politics,” Faku said to me. This fire, like others before, had been covered by the local press and radio, some journalists having been notified by Abahlali via text message and online press release. The Red Cross soon set up a makeshift soup kitchen, and the city government provided emergency shelter in the form of a large, brightly striped communal tent.

The Deterritorialised Muslim Convert in Post-Communist Eastern European Cinema
BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2014 / VOLUME 2 / ARTICLE Article The Deterritorialised Muslim Convert in Post-Communist Eastern European Cinema EWA MAZIERSKA, University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom; email: [email protected] LARS KRISTENSEN, University of Skövde, Sweden; email: [email protected] EVA NÄRIPEA, Estonian Academy of Arts, Film Archives of The National Archives; email: [email protected] 54 DOI: 10.1515/bsmr-2015-0015 BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2014 / VOLUME 2 / ARTICLE ABSTRACT This article analyses the Muslim convert as portrayed in three post-communist Eastern European fi lms: Vladimir Khotinenko’s A Moslem (Мусульманин, Russia, 1996), Jerzy Skolimowski’s Essential Killing (Poland/Norway/ Ireland/Hungary/France, 2010), and Sulev Keedus’s Letters to Angel (Kirjad Inglile, Estonia, 2011). Although set in diff erent periods, the fi lms have their origins in Afghanistan and then move to European countries. The conversion to Islam happens in connection to, or as a con- sequence of, diff erent military confl icts that the country has seen. The authors examine the consequences the char- acters have on their environment, using Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of deterritorialisation, under- stood as an opportunity to produce political and cultural change. Resettling from one religion and place into another means breaking up structures that need to be reassembled diff erently. However, these three fi lms seem to desire deterritorialisation and resettlement for diff erent reasons. In A Moslem, national structures need to be reset since foreign Western values have corrupted the post-com- munist Russian rural society. In Essential Killing, it is the Western military system of oppression that cannot uphold the convert and his values. -

In his lucid and wide-ranging 2013 review of Slavic studies in the UK, J. A. Dunn reflects that “there can be no subject area in the UK higher education system that has been subject to more reviews since the end of the Second World War than Slavonic and East European Studies” (Dunn 13). He offers three reasons for this abundance of surveys: first, the strategic significance of the field (especially during the Cold War); second, an unfortunate short- termism on the part of the Higher Education authorities who commissioned these reports but failed to act consistently on their recommendations; and third, Slavic studies’ chronic failure to thrive without substantial state invest- ment. Perhaps the most significant of the five state-commissioned reports listed by Dunn was the 1961 Hayter report, with its recommendation for the establishment of five centers of excellence: [I]n 1961, Sir William Hayter (former British ambassador to the USSR, 1953–57) produced a government report on Area Studies in the Oriental, African, Eastern European and Slavonic regions, which recommended the establishment or consolidation of five centres of excellence in Soviet and East European area studies at the universities of Birmingham, Glasgow, Oxford, Swansea and London (at SSEES). -
The Biographical Study of Mother Teresa
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Comprehensive Welfare Vol.2 (2005) Original paper The Biographical Study of Mother Teresa: Considerations from Her Family Relation and History of Her Birthplace, Skopje Hiromi Josepha Kudo１） Abstract In this thesis I deal with the life of Mother Teresa that began in the city of Skopje in Macedonia where she was born, and where as Gonxha Bojaxhiu she spent her childhood and her youth. Apart from the historical background of the region I have also explored the personal elements in her character, particularly those that were influenced by her family. Key Words: Skopje, Macedonia, Mother Teresa This thesis seeks to study the environment under which Mother Teresa was raised until she reached the age of eighteen, the age when she left for India and the influence this later exerted upon her activities within the Indian subcontinent. It is obvious from her life that she demonstrated extreme flexibility and adaptability with regard to diverse cultures and ethnic groups, besides a deep-seated tolerance towards religions other than Catholicism. The author however is of the opinion that such characteristics were imbued by her during the first eighteen years of her life in her native city of Skopje through her experience of her country's history, culture, ethnic background, religion, and family life, and accordingly the author wishes to probe the matter from these different perspectives. 1. The Methodology and Bibliography of this Research In 2003, the author was able to visit the city of Skopje in Macedonia, which happens to be the birthplace of Mother Teresa, in order to carry out her research. -
Miroslav Jovanović, Phd When We Speak Today About Both Present And
IN THE SHADOW OF GAS AND POLITICS: CULTURAL AND SPIRITUAL CONTACTS, CONNECTIONS AND COOPERATION BETWEEN SERBIA AND RUSSIA Miroslav Jovanović, PhD∗ When we speak today about both present and past Serbian-Russian relations, we usually give priority to politics. However, the history of mutual relations shows that other connections were equally important, such as cultural, artistic, spiritual, religious and ecclesiastical ties between these two peoples (we could also include scientific connections, but it would require too much specific detail in a general overview such as this). It is possible to trace these connections back to the middle ages and the first contacts of the Serbian ruler Stefan Nemanja with Russian monks. One popular example that is often mentioned is the encounter of his son Rastko Nemanjić (St. Sava) with a Russian monk from Mount Athos, who helped him to hide from his father’s men in the Russian monastery of St. Panteleimon and later to become a monk himself. We should also mention the almost forgotten Serbian Monk Lazarus, who designed the first clock in the Kremlin at the beginning of XV century. The first influences of South Slavs on Russian culture and literature date from the XV century. Russian material and cultural contributions to the Serbian Church and its monasteries were initiated at the beginning of the XVI century. These contributions were brought back by various Serbian monks and priests during numerous visits to Russia up until the end of the XVIII century. During the XIX century, contributions from the Russian Tsars for cultural and educational needs were most important to the Serbs under the Habsburg Empire. -
Contemporary TRANSFORMATIONS of ETHNOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY in RUSSIA: an Invitation to Further Discussion
https://doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2017.70.discussion DISCUSSION CONTEMPORARY TRANSFORMATIONS OF ETHNOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY IN RUSSIA: AN INVITATION TO FURTHER DISCUSSION Dmitriy Funk Professor and Chair, Department of Ethnology, Moscow State University Chief Researcher, Tomsk State University, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Irina Nam Professor, Department of Russian History Head of the Laboratory for Social and Anthropological Research Tomsk State University, Russia e-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Exactly two years ago, in the 63rd volume of Folklore: Electronic Journal of Folklore, our colleagues Aimar Ventsel and Natalia Struchkova published their reflection on some of the many problems that exist in the post-Soviet academic anthropology – among them the problem of relationships between academic traditions and academic writing culture (Ventsel & Struchkova 2016: 121–126). Here we would like to continue this discussion and elaborate on a few other issues which are, in our view, characteristic of anthropology in Russia in the first place but also in other countries of the post-Soviet space.1 The breakaway from old paradigms of Soviet/Russian ethnography and its academic language coincided in time with the dissolution of the USSR and was unambiguously marked within the discipline by renaming of the main and, in fact, only ethnographic academic journal available at that time: in 1992, Etnograficheskoe obozrenie (Ethnographic Review) replaced Sovetskaia etnografiia (Soviet Ethnography). Coincidentally or not, the new title alluded to the possibility of the continued presence of ethnography in post-Soviet Rus- sia, with an indispensable return to the evolutionary paradigm that existed a hundred years ago (Etnograficheskoe obozrenie had already been issued in Russia in the period from 1889 to 1916).
