  • River Names As a Testament of Cultural Heritage
    ONOMÀSTICA 5 (2019): 65–89 | RECEPCIÓ 28.10.2019 | ACCEPTACIÓ 28.11.2019 River names as a testament of cultural heritage (on hydronyms in the Iskar river basin) Anna Choleva-Dimitrova Department of Onomastics Institute for Bulgarian Language, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences [email protected] Abstract: River names are some of the oldest -onyms on record. The article examines 170 river names from the basin of the Iskar river – the largest tributary of the Danube in Bulgaria. The origin and significance of river names emerge through the application of traditional onomastic methods – onomastic (etymological) analysis and onomastic reconstruction. Comparative onomastic data from adjacent and more distant regions in Bulgaria and the Balkans are also drawn on. Conclusions about the relative antiquity of the hydronyms are drawn. Key words: river name, hydronym, Iskar river, Danube river, tributary of a river Els noms dels rius com a llegat del patrimoni cultural (Sobre hidrònims a la conca del riu Iskar) Resum: Els noms dels rius, o topònims fluvials, són uns dels noms més antics de què es té notícia. L’article examina 170 noms de rius de la conca del riu Iskar —el major afluent del Danubi a Bulgària. Tractem d’aclarir l’origen i la significació d’aquests noms a partir de l’aplicació de mètodes onomàstics tradicionals: anàlisi etimològica i reconstrucció onomàstica. També es recullen dades onomàstiques comparatives de regions de Bulgària i dels Balcans, més properes i més llunyanes. Proposem algunes conclusions sobre l’antiguitat relativa dels hidrònims. Paraules clau: nom de riu, hidrònim, riu Iskar, riu Danubi, afluent d’un riu 1 Introduction Hydronymy is one of the most important branches of onomastics.

Geography of Bulgaria The Republic of Bulgaria covers a territory of 110 993 square kilometres. The average altitude of the country is 470 metres above sea level. The Stara Planina Mountain occupies central position and serves as a natural dividing line from the west to the east. It is a 750 km long mountain range stretching from the Vrushka Chuka Pass to Cape Emine and is part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. It reaches the Black Sea to the east and turns to the north along the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border. A natural boundary with Romania is the Danube River, which is navigable all along for cargo and passenger vessels. The Black Sea is the natural eastern border of Bulgaria and its coastline is 378 km long. There are clearly cut bays, the biggest two being those of Varna and Bourgas. About 25% of the coastline are covered with sand and hosts our seaside resorts. The southern part of Bulgaria is mainly mountainous. The highest mountain is Rila with Mt.

  • TRADITIONAL SINGING and MUSIC PLAYING Dimitrina Kaufman
    TRADITIONAL SINGING AND MUSIC PLAYING Dimitrina Kaufman, Lozanka Peycheva* he traditional musical activities singing and music play- Ting, associated with archaic musical-folklore practices, existed in Bulgaria in their “classical” form until the end of the 19th century. Folklore cultural tradition is inherent in pre- modern times. It functions in agrarian societies with a rural, patriarchal culture, and is manifested in local dimensions. Tradi- tional singing and music playing create folklore musical texts characterized by their oral nature, variants and collectivity. The Revival period (18th-19th century) and the restoration of the Bulgarian state in 1878 bring about economic and social changes. The folklore tradition continues to exist, but in new cultural conditions. Modern times in Bulgaria make different cultural systems meet – industrial and agrarian, western and local, non-folklore and folklore. This encounter projects itself also on folklore/traditional music. Folklore singing and music playing continue to exist, but along with the classical forms, transformations and innovations appear in the functioning and in the structure of the musical texts: non-local and town-like character, authorship, written and audio fixation, hybridization. Traditional musical activities in Bulgaria are regarded as a classical model, but from a historical point of view they represent medieval forms of the tradition, existing in one or other form in the new conditions of modernity as well. The vision put forward is based on materials that registered the tradition in Bulgaria mainly in the 20th century. The traditional musical activities singing and music playing are an essential component of the culture of the Bulgarian traditional agrarian society.

Abstract: The current paper publishes the faunistic data of the hoverflies collected in South West Bulgaria, mainly in the area of Pirin, Rila, Rodope and Vitosa by Hungarian entomologist. The vast majority of the data was collected by the author. The paper reports the occurrence of 269 species on the 24 points of the examined area. The search for the checklist of the Bulgarian species was unsuccessful. The author is in the knowledge of only one paper that works with the Bulgarian fauna, which contains information on the occurrence of 117 species of Hoverflies in South West Bulgaria (Bánkowska 1967). These species are marked with a star in the listing. Out of these, all have occurred during the collection by the Hungarian entomologist. The “Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera” series, 8th volume (PECK 1988) can be considered as the most strongpoint on the fauna of the Bulgarian hoverflies. Based on this, 24 species can be considered new to the Bulgarian fauna: Brachyopa testacea (Fallén, 1817), Brachypalpus chrysites Egger, 1859, Cheilosia crassiseta Loew, 1859, Cheilosia hypena (Becker, 1894), Cheilosia insignis Loew, 1857, Cheilosia laticornis Rondani, 1857, Cheilosia pictipen- nis Egger, 1860, Cheilosia

  • Images of Roma Through the Language of Bulgarian State Archives
    Social Inclusion (ISSN: 2183–2803) 2020, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 296–304 DOI: 10.17645/si.v8i2.2787 Article Images of Roma through the Language of Bulgarian State Archives Aleksandar G. Marinov School of History, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, KY16 9BA, UK; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 14 January 2020 | Accepted: 24 March 2020 | Published: 4 June 2020 Abstract This research has been carried out as part of the RomaInterbellum Project which studies the Roma civic emancipation between World War I and World War II. Trawling through the Bulgarian archival documents on Roma in this time period, a reader cannot help but begin to form a certain image about the Tsigani, the term with which Roma have been popularly referred to in the archives. Unsurprisingly, this image does not seem to differ much from the one of today—that of the uneducated, dirty, foreign, and that pose a threat not only to the prosperity and well-being of the Bulgarian population and culture at large but also to the state and the economy. The research is based on archived files, letters of complaints from Bulgarian citizens and other documents sourced from Bulgarian state archives. The article analyses the words and language employed in the archived documents, the connotations they bear and the images they build. It also tries to show how, in the interwar period, this dominant language was utilised by Roma individuals and leaders in order to react, counter and protect their image and future. More importantly, they sought ways to build a better integrated Roma society through the establishment of own organisations and associations.
