Archaeological sources provide a wide range of information to help understand the social structure of human society in the past. In this paper, the authors deal with the information potential of grave pit modifi cations and wooden structures in graves at burial sites in the central region of Great Moravia (southeast Moravia, southwest Slovakia). The goal at this point is to defi ne the basic hypotheses and describe the methodological basis along with the research methodology. The authors treat the sources holistically, which means that one of the methodological foundations is the claim that the properties of the whole are not a simple sum of its parts. This means that all recognized elements of the funeral rite and their mutual relations and functions are the center of attention of this research. The primary basis for the research is the assumption that the presence of various wooden structures or wooden burial receptacles in the graves of the Great Moravian period is a common cultural occurrence. It further tests the hypothesis that there was intent behind choosing of these different wooden structures and grave pit modifi cations and their usage, as well as a potential differentiation based on age or gender in the frequency, quality and selection of these modifi cations/arrangements and structures. The main methodological tools are statistical and GIS analysis and the results are compared with published fi ndings from the wider Central European region., Marian Mazuch, Marek Hladík., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Nowadays Gregor Johann Mendel is among the most renowned Czech scientists. Although his ideas about cross-pollination of plants were ahead of their time, Mendel did not suffer from his lack of success. He was a valued abbot, popular teacher, successful breeder, beekeeper and meteorologist. and Hana Laudátová, Ondřej Dostál.
V esejisticky pojaté reflexi si autor nejprve všímá některých inspiračních zdrojů a interpretačních rámců Sukovy knihy, které ho přivádějí k zamyšlení nad tématem absurdity socialistického světa jako konstituentu Havlovy dramatické tvorby i disidentské činnosti. V kostce řečeno, podle autora namísto absurdního divadla šedesátých let nastoupila antipolitika let takzvané normalizace. Charakterizuje poté antipolitiku jako konstrukci morálního světa v distanci vůči danému politickému řádu, poukazuje na její hlavní rysy a rozebírá její smysl na základě známého Havlova eseje Moc bezmocných. Sukovu knihu autor vnímá jako příběh o tom, jak se disidentské slovo stalo politickou mocí. Jiří Suk podle něj potvrzuje, že je nejlepším historikem havlovského disentu a konce husákovského komunismu. V knize odvedl solidní kus historické práce, opřené o důkladné studium pramenů, nezůstává ale stát u plochého pozitivismu, nýbrž hledá vhodné teoretické rámce pro historickou interpretaci. Výsledkem je pronikavé osvětlení nedávných českých dějin. Sukův důraz na historickou kontinuitu, která dává výkladu sjednocující perspektivu, ale zahlazuje podle autora některé dobové švy a rozpory. Zaprvé je tak opomenuta jistá Havlova distance v dobách disentu vůči západním demokraciím, ba dokonce vůči režimu liberální demokracie. Dále zůstalo podceněno Havlovo zdráhání, když v roce 1989 byla na pořadu dne politizace disentu. A zatřetí nebyl doceněn zlom v konceptu antipolitiky, který znamenala skutečnost, že se Havel stalo politickým vůdcem a v souboji o moc užíval způsobů reálpolitiky., b1_In this essay, the author first considers some of the sources of inspiration and interpretative frameworks of Suk’s book, which have led the author, Znoj, to consider the theme of the absurdity of the Socialist world as a component of Havel’s work as a dramatist and a dissident. In a nutshell, the author argues that the anti-politics of the Normalization period of the 1970s and 1980s took the place of the theatre of the absurd of the 1960s. He then describes anti-politics as the construction of a moral world that maintained a distance from the existing political order, and he points out its main features and analyses the meaning of that distance by considering Havel’s well-known essay, ‘The Power of the Powerless’ (1978). Suk’s book, according to the author, is the story of how the dissident’s word became political power. Suk, he argues, has thus demonstrated that he is the best historian of Havel’s dissidence and the end of the Communist regime led by Husák. This book is a solid historical work based on a thorough examination of the sources, but its author has gone beyond mere positivism; he has developed a suitable theoretical framework for historical interpretation. The result casts a penetrating light on recent Czech history. Suk’s emphasis on historical continuity gives the interpretation a unifying perspective while, according to the author, papering over some of the seams and smoothing out some of the conflicts of the period. First, Suk has omitted Havel’s distancing himself from Western democracies when he was a dissident, even his distancing himself from liberal democracy per se. Second, he has underestimated Havel’s reluctance to politicize the dissident movement when the matter was being hotly debated in 1989., b2_And, third, Suk appears not to have fully appreciated Havel’s sudden change in his conception of ‘anti-politics’, which meant Havel’s becoming a political leader and using the methods of realpolitik in the struggle for power., [autor recenze] Milan Znoj., Obsahuje bibliografii, and Tři hlasy k jedné knize
