Leibniz Graduate School for Cultures of Knowledge in Central European Transnational Contexts The Herder Institute in Marburg, the Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC) and the Gießen Centre for Eastern Europe is offering scholarships, financed each for a period of three years: 3 graduate scholarships (starting 1 st January 2011) The graduate programme’s main topic focuses on the value of cultures of knowledge in an Eastern European context. The Leibniz Graduate School is open to all projected PhD theses that are specifically designed to make a substantive contribution to a discussion of the following topics: • European Academic cultures and academic communication: forums, networks, people, generations, forms of socialisation, political background • National and transnational categories of knowledge and intellectual styles • Pluralisation, (self-)instrumentalisation, enforced standardisation, transformation of academic institutions • Concepts and key terms in academic communication: nation, class, ethnicity, identity, gender, religion • Academic cultures in an age of globalisation and the digital World Further details: www.herder-institute.de/leibniz-graduate-school Carnival XII 2010 Carnival XII (2010) Contents Editorial 5 A Word from the President 7 Integration Throughout History Cultural Integration Anastasia Guzanova: Integration Through ART: On Russian-Finnish Interactions of Art at the Turn of the 20th Century 10 Valentina Caldari: Cultural Integration in Early Modern European Courts 21 Cseperke Orsolya Tikász: Old Believer Women’s Functions in the Novgorod Diocese in the Second Half of the 19 th Century 33 Political Integration Anita Buhin: Changing Street Names – Changing Identity 44 Juraj Lepiš: Czechoslovakia and Poland – Conflicts in a Next-Door Relationship 54 Jan Vandeburie: The Fatimid Failure Against the Crusaders at the End of the First Crusade 68 2 Carnival XII (2010) Integration vs. Segregation Giovanni Garufi Bozza : The Basaglia Act and the Integration of the Mentally Ill into Society 90 Karen Bähr: Zygmunt Bauman’s Concept of Social Engineering Reconsidered.

Tolkien Interview with Dr Allan Turner, Jena 191 Call for Papers Guidelines for Contributions 202 4 Carnival XII (2010) Editorial Dear reader, The newest issue of Carnival is in your hands now (or on your screen, in case of the online edition). For the first time in as long as most of us can think back, it has been possible to release Carnival in due time, that is within half a year of the Annual Conference, ISHA’s main academic event. No one is to blame for these delays, as publishing the journal has always been depending on the commitment of volunteers. Sometimes, personal matters interfered, or bad luck stroke – e.g. as has been the case with the previous edition which was only finalised this spring. But Carnival is on a good way, and so is ISHA (cf. the president’s letter right after this introduction). The previous edition already introduced a more professional layout to the publication, and many efforts have been taken by last year’s editors to ensure a high level of academic quality as well. In order to take this good work one step further, during the last sev- eral months an informal workgroup within ISHA has formed which is cur- rently debating the future of Carnival; basically, that means how to im- prove the journal even more. Personally, I am convinced that publishing this journal is a very important and rewarding task because it forms a great (and rare) opportunity for students to present their work and also receive feedback by their colleagues from many countries. Let us, therefore, con- tinue working together in order to overcome the last of the difficulties that have been limiting Carnival’s success in the past. But back to what you are reading at the very moment. This issue of Carni- val takes its major theme from the topic of the Annual Conference of 5 Carnival XII (2010) ISHA 2010 in Helsinki: “Integration Throughout History”. We have col- lected many interesting papers which have been presented during the con- ference, or which have been written on the occasion of other ISHA events during the course of the academic year 2009-2010. They are comple- mented by two articles that have been written independently of the present issue’s topic. The previous edition of Carnival already saw the introduction of a new kind of contribution: an interview with a specialist. It is my firm belief that such interviews can significantly benefit the journal’s ultimate aim – broadening students’ horizons by showing them different points of view and varied ways of interpretation. Therefore, I am very grateful that in the issue at hand a specialist from a different field of study has shared some of his thoughts about his primary field of interest – language – and about ours – history, on the background of J.R.R. Tolkien’s life and works. As I said before, both ISHA and its journal are on a good way. Many tasks lie before us, but some very good foundations have already been laid, es- pecially during the past academic year. This is why I do not only wish to thank Katharina, Robert, and Rasmus, who have helped me considerably with putting this edition of Carnival together, but also the members of the very committed and hard-working International Board of 2009-2010. Hoping that this issue of Carnival will find its readers’ appreciation, Viva ISHA and all the best! Sven Mörsdorf Editor-in-chief, 2009-2010 Council, 2009-2010 6 Carnival XII (2010) A Word from the President Dear reader, It is with much pleasure that I present to you this new edition of Carnival , the journal of the International Students of History Association. This edi- tion contains the academic work of students throughout Europe who are connected to our association. Last year we held many activities, bringing our members together at a number of seminars and a large annual confer- ence. Please allow me to point out some of the highlights of the year. Natural highlights are the seminars that ISHA sections organise year- round. We had a full agenda this year, including not only the traditional seasonal seminars, but also a first-of-its-kind weekend seminar. After dis- cussing multiculturalism in Pisa at the autumn seminar, we travelled to cold Vilnius to celebrate New Year while pondering manipulation through history. ISHA Marburg decided to dedicate a small seminar to the Bologna system, which fit in well with our newly-acquired associate membership in the European Students’ Union. Just as the summer holiday began, Nicosia served as the venue for a beautiful summer seminar on the concept of war. Never has an ISHA seminar been witnessed by so many palm trees. A special highlight was the annual conference. This is the main event every year, and every section tries to be present. Finland showed its best side, as the spring clearly set in during our visit, giving us the chance to see Helsinki melting down from the icy winter. The theme of the confer- ence was ‘integration throughout history,’ touching nicely upon the semi- nar topics. 7 Carnival XII (2010) We have taken a new step in making ISHA more visible to the outside world. Together with Euroclio (the European Association of History Edu- cators) and The Europaeum, an association of ten leading European uni- versities, ISHA contributed to the project ‘Connecting Europe through History.’ In several joint meetings we held roundtable sessions on the topic of migration as a common feature throughout European history. In Helsinki, the ISHA annual conference very successfully accommodated such a session together with Finnish history teachers and teacher trainers.

Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • Az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia Katonai Részvétele a Scutariválság
    TANULMÁNYOK BALLA TIBOR AZ OSZTRÁK-MAGYAR MONARCHIA KATONAI RÉSZVÉTELE A SCUTARI–VÁLSÁG RENDEZÉSÉBEN1 1913 tavaszán az éppen dúló első Balkán–háború közepette az európai nagyhatalmak diplomatáinak, katonai vezetőinek és közvéleményének figyelmét az ún. Scutari–válság kötötte le. A Balkán–félsziget délnyugati részén fekvő Scutari (Shkodra) jövőbeni hovatartozását illetően Montenegro és a vele szövetséges Szerbia, valamint a kontinens meghatározó hatalmai között nézeteltérés alakult ki, amely ráadásul magában hordozta az Ausztria–Magyarország és Montenegro közötti fegyveres konfliktus kitörésének lehetőségét is. Az európai országok már 1912 őszén erőfeszítéseket tettek a balkáni válság kezelésére. Anglia november elején – Németország és Franciaország támogatásával – a konfliktus békés rendezése érdekében nagyhatalmi konferencia összehívását javasolta. A konferencia december 17-én ült össze Londonban, a St. James palotában az 1878-as berlini kongresszuson is jelen volt hat nagyhatalom küldöttei részvételével. Angliát külügyminisztere, Sir Edward Grey, Ausztria–Magyarországot, Franciaországot, Németországot, Olaszországot, Oroszországot londoni nagykövetük képviselte.2 A zárt ajtók mögött folyó üléseken Grey elnökölt. 1913. december 16-tól szintén Londonban ülésezett a Balkán–szövetségbe tömörült államok (Bulgária, Görögország, Montenegro, Szerbia) és Törökország békekonferenciája. Az angol külügyminiszter tiszteletbeli elnökként az ítélőbíró szerepét töltötte be a balkáni kis államok egymással és a törökökkel folytatott területi vitáiban.3 A konferencia 1913. március 22-én döntést hozott arról, hogy Scutari városa a jövőben az önálló Albániához tartozzék, március 29-én pedig nemzetközi flottademonstrációról született döntés.4 1 A tanulmány az 1995–96 folyamán a Collegium Hungaricum ösztöndíjasaként Bécsben végzett kutatásaim eredményeként született.

  • U-Boat Campaign (World War I) 1 U-Boat Campaign (World War I)
    U-boat Campaign (World War I) 1 U-boat Campaign (World War I) The U-boat Campaign from 1914 to 1918 was the World War I naval campaign fought by German U-boats against the trade routes of the Entente Powers. It took place largely in the seas around the British Isles and in the Mediterranean. The German Empire relied on imports for food and domestic food production (especially fertilizer) and the United Kingdom relied heavily on imports to feed its population, and both required raw materials to supply their war industry; the powers aimed, therefore, to blockade one another. The British had the Royal Navy which was superior in numbers and could operate on most of the world's oceans because of the British Empire, whereas the German Kaiserliche Marine surface fleet was mainly restricted to the German Bight, and used commerce raiders and unrestricted submarine warfare to operate elsewhere. The successful blockade of Germany contributed to its military defeat in 1918, and, still in effect, enforced the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in mid-1919. 1914: Initial campaign North Sea: Initial stage In August 1914, a flotilla of ten U-boats sailed from their base in Heligoland to attack Royal Navy warships in the North Sea in the first submarine war patrol in history.[1] Their aim was to sink capital ships of the British Grand Fleet, and so reduce the Grand Fleet's numerical superiority over the German High Seas Fleet. The first sortie was not a success. Only one attack was carried out, when U-15 fired a torpedo (which missed) at HMS Monarch.
