This article discusses the Enlightenment concept of theatre as formulated in the work of the Viennese playwright Paul Weidmann, who was active in the reign of Joseph II (1765-90). In Weidmann’s conception, theatre has two main functions: one is to provide a theoretical basis (the idea of a national theatre; theatre as a school of moral educational); the second is to delineate a socio-historical context. The themes explored by Weidmann are civil war and wars of religion, and the question of how to level social differences - problems that still very much beset the modern world. In the face of current religious, political and economic conflicts, Weidmann’s stage plays still carry a powerful message., Joanna Giel., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
In 2008 the Institute of Archeological Heritage Presevation in Brno in collaboration with MZM Brno confiued field surveys using metal detectors at selected La Tene localities in Moravia. The surveys targetted settlements attached to the power centre of the La Tene Age in the village of Němčice (Prostějov region) and in the Boskovice depression. Collections were aslo obtained over two surwey periods from Roman sites in the village of Rakvice in south MOravia and in the village of Dolní Němčí-Vlčnov in south -east Moravia. Apart from the artifact and the information they yielded, the survey also revaeled more general knowledge about the sites, which unambiguously shows the necessity of carrying out metal detector prospecting by archaeological instituions. The finds have considerably enriched our knowledge of the Middle Bronze Age period (exemplified by a needle with an eyelet of a Lower Silesian origin) and of the Roman period (exemplifield by a brooch of Aucissa type, a brooch with cut out bow, brooches A 129 and bronze moulds for the production of the Early Roman bridles of the Vimose type., Miloš Čižmář .. .[et al.]., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
During 2009, ÚAPP Brno in conjunction with MZM Brno continued surveys using metal detectors at selected Moravian La Tène sites. The field survey has focused particularly on investigations of the settlement hinterland from the La Tène period in Nˇemˇcice near Prostˇejov and the surrounding settlements, sites in the Boskovice Furrow and the Staré Hradisko Celtic oppidum. Artifact assemblages were also recovered from two surveys of several sites in southern Moravia. Apart from the individual finds and the information they yielded, the surveys also provided more general information. These results reaffirm the view that it is necessary for archaeological institutions to conduct such metal detector surveys. The new finds have clearly added to our knowledge, particularly with regards to the La Tène culture, with the finding of a palmette-shaped belt-clasp from Drnholec, mask handle base from Polkovice, "Dreiblattknopf" from Hevlín and two brooch fragments of a so far unknown type from Staré Hradisko, and unusually for the early Slavonic period north of the Danube, a rare Byzantine belt-clasp fragment (from Bedihošt’). Another artifact which further attests to the importance of metal detector surveys is a Late Roman brooch of the Hrušica type found at Dyjákovice, the first such find in the Czech Republic., Miloš Čižmář ...

During 2010, ÚAPP Brno in conjunction with MZM Brno, continued surveys using metal detectors at selected Moravian La Tène sites. The field survey has focused particularly on investigation of the settlement hinterland of the oppidum Staré Hradisko and the power centre from the La Tène period at Nˇemˇcice na Hané, on the area of Nˇemˇcice settlement and in the smaller degree also on sites in the Boskovice Furrow. Collections of finds were also obtained over two survey periods from several sites in south Moravia. Apart from the artifacts and the information about these sites they yielded, the survey also revealed more general knowledge, which reaffirm the necessity of carrying out metal detector prospecting by archaeological institutions. The new finds have clearly added to our knowledge, particularly with regards to the La Tène period, with the finding of a plastic head from Nˇemˇcice, and for the Roman Age with the finding of a provincial anchor-shaped brooch from Kuˇrim, the present time rare in Moravia. The finds from two sites are important for understanding of communication between Moravia and Bohemia along the Svitava River., Miloš Čizmář, Jana Čižmářová, Martin Kejzlar., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Autorka v této své první monografii zkoumá společné rysy a proměny různých druhů veřejných festivit, jako jsou přehlídky, pochody, manifestace, oslavy nebo sportovní podniky, v meziválečném Německu. Propojuje přitom ve svém pohledu tyto veřejné kulturní prezentace s tehdejší politikou a ideologií. Podle recenzenta přináší její práce k dosavadnímu neobyčejně rozsáhlému výzkumu nové poznatky a metodologické podněty, zvláště pokud se týká určitých prvků kontinuity výmarské republiky a nacistického režimu. and [autor recenze] Doubravka Olšáková.

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.
