Publikace podle recenzenta zaplňuje jedno z málo známých míst v poznávání každodennosti Protektorátu Čechy a Morava (1939-1945). Komplexním způsobem přibližuje dobové podoby odívání různých společenských vrstev a pro rozmanité příležitosti, módní trendy a jejich vzory, ale také praktické starosti s obstaráváním a recyklováním šatstva v situaci materiálního nedostatku a života na příděl. Jedinou slabinu spatřuje recenzent v genderové nevyváženosti, když pánské módě je věnována prakticky jen jedna z osmi kapitol., The book under review, whose title translates as ‘Fashion in the Streets of the Protectorate: Life, Clothes, and People’, helps, according to the reviewer, to provide a picture of one of the lesser known areas of everyday life in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, which lasted from mid-March 1939 to early May 1945. In a comprehensive way, the author acquaints the reader with styles of dressing in this period amongst the various social strata and for various occasions, as well as the fashion trends and their models, but she also looks at practical concerns about getting clothes and recycling them in circumstances of material shortage and rationing. One of the weaknesses of the publication, according to the reviewer, is that it pays too little attention to gentlemen’s fashion, covered in practically only one of its eight chapters., and [autor recenze] Petr Tolar.
Recenzentka představuje dosud první biografii českého medievisty Františka Grause (1921-1989). Narozen v německožidovské rodině v Brně, prošel za války koncentračními tábory, poté se vydal na dráhu marxistického historika středověku, rychle zaujal přednostní postavení v hierarchii československé historické vědy, v roce 1969 po porážce pražského jara emigroval a zakotvil nakonec jako profesor středověkých dějin na univerzitě ve švýcarské Basileji, kde také publikoval svá nejvýznamnější díla a zařadil se po bok předním evropským medievistům. Recenzentka vedle bohaté faktografie oceňuje snahu o rekonstrukci Grausova myšlenkového vývoje a jeho nesnadného přerodu od dogmatického marxismu k otevřenému pluralismu pozdních let šedesátých, který se jeví do značné míry jako modelový příklad pohybu tehdejší oficiální československé historiografie. Problém vidí v nevyváženosti práce, neboť Grausovo exilové působení shrnuje jediná kapitola, a v rezignaci autorky na hodnotící přístup. and [autor recenze] Anna Košátková.
The paper examines origin and professional background of the scribes of the 18th century Bohemian manuscripts and follows the changes in the social structure of their readers, using the information from several hundred handwritten books and documents. Received data show that the number of scribes is rising immensely in the last decades of the 18th century. The most distinct growth might be observed within the number of scribes working in the rural areas. In the first half of the 18th century the most productive group of scribes are monks. In the last quarter of the century this role goes to teachers and parish priests. Their production, however, often has commercial or official character. Besides in the late period of the century strongly increases representation of craftsmen and farmers among the scribes. Also growth of the number of readers living in the countryside, especially women, might be observed. These changes seem to be the results of educational, administrative and Church reforms performed by Maria Theresa and Joseph II in the late 18th century., Dmitrij Timofejev., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Taphonomic, paleopathological, and paleodemographic analyses of human remains from the Mid Upper Paleolithic of western Eurasia are increasingly documenting a diversity of mortuary behaviors among these successful Late Pleistocene foragers. These considerations are joined by three associated pairs of otherwise isolated appendicular remains from the site of Pavlov I (the Pavlov 31 partial hands and the Pavlov 37 and 38 tarsometatarsal skeletons), previously described morphologically but not assessed in terms of their taphonomy. They are described here with respect to their contexts and patterns of preservation to assess possible taphonomic and/or mortuary implications of these sets of antimeres. Subchondral articular bone that is free of carbonate encrustation on at least the Pavlov 37 pedal remains suggests some degree of articulation in situ. Although root etched, the elements lack carnivore or other vertebrate damage, as well as cut marks. Even though associated unilateral hand or foot remains are unexceptional among the fur-bearing faunal remains, the bilateral presence of these human remains raises questions concerning the taphonomic and behavioral/ mortuary processes responsible for their preservation: do they represent portions of abandoned human bodies, remains of naturally disturbed burials, extremities left from secondary burials, and/or intentionally manipulated human body portions? Any combination of these processes expands current perceptions of the mortuary diversity among these early modern humans., Sandra Sázelová, Jarosław Wilczyński, Piotr Wojtal, Jiří Svoboda, Erik Trinkaus., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
