Autor rekapituluje životní a profesní dráhu docentky Lenky Kalinové, která byla dlouhou dobu přední odbornicí na sociální dějiny Československa, zejména jeho poválečného období. V šedesátých letech vytvořila a vedla výzkumný tým pro analýzu vývoje sociální struktury československé společnosti od roku 1918. V roce 1970 byla propuštěna ze zaměstnání, v dalších letech však spolupracovala s odbornými institucemi v Československu a Maďarsku a postupně také v obou zemích intenzivně publikovala. Nové možnosti se jí otevřely od počátku devadesátých let, kdy začala úzce spolupracovat s Ústavem pro soudobé dějiny Akademie věd ČR a jako výsledek své mnohaleté teoretické práce vydala dvě syntetické monografie, v nichž na bohatém faktografickém materiálu postihla základní trendy sociálně-politického vývoje české společnosti v letech 1945 až 1993., The author sums up the life and career of Lenka Kalinová (1924-2014), who was for a long time a leading authority on the social history of Czechoslovakia, particularly of the years after the Second World War. In the 1960s she established and led a team of scholars to analyse the social structure of Czechoslovakia as it had developed from 1918 onward. In 1970 she lost her job, but in the following years worked with specialized institutions in Czechoslovakia and Hungary, and eventually also published intensively in both countries. New opportunities opened up for her in the early 1990s, when she began to work closely with the Institute of Contemporary History, part of the Czech Academy of Sciences. In consequence of her years of work in the field of theory, she published two syntheses in which she made good use of a great deal of facts in order to identify and explain basic trends in Czech society and politics from 1945 to 1993., Václav Průcha., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The working definition of a “succession crisis” is based on the presumption that stability is a critical factor in a political system. The system becomes vulnerable if something deprives it of its steadiness and pushes it out of balance. A monarch in the medieval political system played the role of the stability factor which was supposed to harmonize contrary interests of different groups and circles in a kingdom. A “succession crisis” erupts when there is no political agreement regarding who should step into the role of a deceased monarch, i.e., who shows the most promise in achieving the goals of stability, harmony and a balance of power. The thrones in Central Europe were emptied nearly simultaneously at the turn of the fourteenth century. Since politics cannot bear a vacuum, these unexpected vacancies opened the field for new candidates to the throne(s). The paper reflects on three subjects. First, it raises the question of a “succession crisis” as a methodological tool for studying politics in the Middle Ages. Secondly, it outlines the stances of the modern Polish historiography on Łokietek’s coming back to power between 1305 and 1314 and his puzzling popularity among the nobility of Little Poland. It also reveals recent opinions of Polish historians about the Bohemian rule in Poland in the turn of the fourteenth century. Finally, the paper applies the concept of “succession crisis” and switch the focus of Łokietek’s attempts for the throne from a political microhistory to a picture of greater regional range. and Wojciech Kozłowski.
Radiocarbon dates and pottery typology from the hilltop settlement of Hlinsko are discussed with respect to the chronology of the Boleráz Group in Moravia. Additionally the results are compared to new Dates from Jevisovice and Brno-Líšeň as well as to the total corpus of Radiocarbon dates connected to Boleraz-fi nds in other regions. The Moravian dates show that the Boleráz Pottery in that region is not used until after 3520 BC, whereas there are older dates in Lower Austria and Hungary, starting about 3650 BC. The end of the Boleráz pottery style in Moravia is harder to detect. The 14C dates from Hlinsko, but also one additional date in Wojnowice in Upper Silesia point towards the presence of a “Post-Boléraz-Group, where Boleráz-, Funnel Beaker and some scant Classical Baden elements are mixed in a local pottery style, contemporary to the different Classical Baden Groups in neighbouring regions. Thus, in the western part of Moravia, the chronological sequence is Boleráz (3520–3350 BC), Post-Boleráz (3350–3100 BC), Jevisovice B (3100–2800 BC). Regarding the pottery typology and Radiocarbon Dating of Hlinsko, the pit inventories discussed do not display a Proto-Boleráz and a subsequent Boleráz Phase, as traditionally labelled, but rather a continuum showing a mixture of Funnel Beaker Pottery with Boleráz Elements to Funnel Beaker with Boleráz and scant Classical Baden infl uences (the latter equalling “Post-Boleráz”), clearly different from the typical Boleráz or Classical Baden Inventories known further south., Martin Furholt., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
As an example of the activities of the Austrian secret police under Emperor Francis II (I), we consider the surveillance of Louis Bonaparte (1778-1846), king of Holland, when he was in exile in Teplice. The Austrian secret police used several "tools" in the surveillance of persons who were or had aroused suspicion of being criminals or enemies of the state. The ministry of foreign affairs (Hof- und Staatskanzlei), the ministry of the interior (Oberste Polizeihofstelle) and the government of the states (Länder) worked together. The police paid "confidential people" (Vertraute) to observe the habits, activities and friends of the above categories of person. This work was done at the best-known spas by inspection commissioners who tended the patients and collected information. At the mail service letters from suspicious persons were secretly opened and copies were made. It is shown that these methods provided a fairly good picture of the person under surveillance, in our case the king of Holland., Friedrich Wilhelm Schembor., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
The paper deals with the topic of additional Germanic settlement activity on „Burgstall“ hill near Mušov-Pasohlávky in Moravia from the stratigraphical and chronological point of view. Germanic settlement features which have been discovered on this location, previously, at the time of Marcomannic wars, the key and most important military site north to the Carnuntum, have disturbed the preceding Roman structures and clearly date to a later period than the Roman army occupation. The impressive picture comes also from the adjacent location of Neurissen. It is not without significance that the chronologically conclusive items from these subsequent barbarian settlement contexts are clearly comparable with the archaeological record typical in general for the distinctive horizon of sunken floor huts and pits detected within Germanie built up areas in a number of places in different areas of Moravia and Slovakia. The dating of the horizon in question can be placed within the timespan from the late 2nd century AD since the mid of the next century and its end concures in the time with the turbulent period of increasing migration movements of barbarian populations beyond the Roman frontier and with the fall of Roman Raetian- Upper Germanic limes., Jaroslav Tejral., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The settlement region in the Opava River basin (Upper Silesia) belonged to the southern periphery of the Przeworsk culture. Settlement activity culminated here during the late and final phase of the Roman Period. Numerous settlements situated on terraces of the river Opava were characterised by local production of wheel-thrown pottery. Despite the somewhat problematic dating of these sites, at least some of them may have belonged to the final phase (C3/D). Besides the above-mentioned region, which was relatively well investigated by archaeologists, settlements of the Przeworsk culture have also penetrated to the less known region of Osoblaha and Vidnava, i.e. as far as to the foothills of the Jeseníky Mts. Two localities, which are supposed to be hilltop settlements dating probably from the end of the Roman Period to the beginning of the Migration Period, were discovered in this hilly landscape. In this context we neither can omit the finds of so-called equestrian nomadic and Hunnic character, which testify that the southern part of the territory of the Przeworsk culture has got under the influence of the Hunnic Empire., Zuzana Loskotová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
