  • Normalisation of Islam in Bulgaria and the Role of Intellectuals
    Islam on Тrial: Normalisation of Islam in Bulgaria and the role of intellectuals by Madlen Ivanova Nikolova Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Professor Alexandra Kowalski Professor Jean-Louis Fabiani CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 Abstract The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the symbolic violence intellectuals exert in constructing politically effective representations of Islam in Bulgaria. This is done through the close investigation of expert witnesses’ discourse in a recent trial against thirteen Muslims from Bulgaria, who were accused and convicted of propagating a “foreign” and “political-ideological” Islam against the “democratic-liberal order.” The expert witnesses opposed this “political” and “foreign” Islam to “traditional” and “everyday” Islam. I argue that this discursive strategy could be read as normalisation in Foucauldian terms. In contrast to Foucault’s understanding of normalisation and the role of psychiatric expertise within the juridical field, what is normalised in the case of the trial I studied are not individual pathologies, but forms of (“everyday”) Islam that are compatible with the current post-political liberal regime. I also consider intellectuals’ conflicting relationships to the trial by taking into account their positioning within the field of power. CEU eTD Collection I Acknowledgements I would like to extend my gratitude to Professor Alexandra Kowalski for the thought- provoking conversations, constructive critique and support throughout the year. Professor Jean-Louis Fabiani’s classes helped me develop a more nuanced account of the dynamics within the academic field.

Sakelarieva South-West University “Neofit Rilski”, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Department of Geography, Ecology and Environmental Protection, 66 Ivan Mihailov Str., 2700 Blagoevgrad, BULGARIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. The Bulgarian part of Hadzhidimovo Gorge (the Mesta River basin, south-western Bulgaria) was studied in March-October 2018 in order to collect data about the local herpetofauna. A preliminary checklist of the amphibians and reptiles is presented, based on bibliographic records and the field research. The list includes 25 species. The representatives of the class Amphibia are 8 (the half of them are new for the area), and the reptiles are 17 (5 of them are reported for the first time). The field records for all new species (except Pelophylax ridibundus complex) as well as for the most of the known species interesting from zoogeographic point of view are specified. It is of particular interest the discovery of Triturus ivanbureschi, Podarcis muralis, Ablepharus kitaibelii, and Platyceps najadum in the gorge.

NIKOLOVA Tobacco and Tobacco Products Institute, BG - 4108 Plovdiv, Bulgaria Abstract NIKOLOVA, V., 2006. Technological investigation on quality and possibilities for wid- ening the production of market demanded oriental type tobaccos. Message I: Techno- logical investigation on Djebel K 81. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 12: 645-653 At new conditions, the tobacco sector should completely be subjected to market demands, as regards its volume and its structure. As far as our country is concerned, this means market adaptation of the variety structure of tobaccos grown in the different regions. In this study a technological investigation of the variety of Djebel K 81 has been done, which is grown in the different sub-regions and regions of the origins of "Eastern Balkan" and "Nevrokop", as com- pared to the mass varieties for these origins. The routine indices for quality specification have been used: the chemical composition of tobacco and tobacco smoke; the spectral curves of tobacco water extraction (Taking of the "image"); the expert and smoking evaluation. In order to prove the authenticity of the results, the data have been processed by using the variation and statistical method. On the basis of the complex evaluation, grading of tobaccos investigated has been done in regions and sub-regions for their origins. It has been established that it will be purposeful to grow the investigated variety of Djebel K 81 in the region of Yambol (the origin of "Eastern Balkan"), and also in the region of Nevrokop (the origin of "Nevrokop" - the sub-region of Yaka), when market demand is greater.

  • (Diptera) to the Fauna of Bulgaria
    ZooNotes 47: 1-5 (2013) …47… www.zoonotes.bio.uni-plovdiv.bg ISSN 1313-9916 Contribution to the butterfly species of Belasitsa Mountain (SW Bulgaria) and second record of Gonepteryx cleopatra (Linnaeus, 1767) from Bulgaria LYUBEN DOMOZETSKI [email protected] Abstract. At present, according to the literature data for Belasitsa Mountain are published 139 butterfly species. This article contributes to the knowleage of the butterfly fauna of the mountain by adding five more species. With this supplement the number of the butterflies’ fauna of Belasitsa Mountain increase to 144 species. This article also presents information about the second record of Gonepteryx cleopatra (Linnaeus, 1767) in Bulgaria. Key words: Belasitsa Mountain, Alibotoush Mountain, Rupite locality, Gonepteryx cleopatra, butterblies, faunistic data. Introduction Belasitsa Mountain is a mountain range in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. Currently the southern slope of the mountain belongs to the territory of Greece, the southwestern slope to Republic of Macedonia and the southeastern slope – to Bulgaria. The considerable displacement, the specific geographical location and the distinctive climate are the main reasons which determine the diverse butterflies’ fauna of Belasitsa Mt. Unlike any other borderline areas (for example the Vlahina Mountain), the butterflies of Belasitsa Mt. are studied very well. Material and methods The current report presents a summary of the published faunistic data of butterfly taxa inhabiting the Bulgarian section of Belasitsa Mt. (Fig. 1). In addition, 5 species, not registered before in Belasitsa Mt. are reported here with locations, data of records, number and sex of specimens. Short faunistic analysis is made based on the comparison between the butterflies of Belasitsa Mt.
