2. "… viell fürsten halten ein Musica" : Musik und Musiker am Hofe der Fürsten von Liechtenstein im 17. Jahrhundert

- Description:
- The so-called Political Testament, written by Charles Eusebius the Prince of Liechtenstein for his son and heir around 1680 includes, among other things, a substantial, detailed passage dedicated to music at the prince's court. Music is not just one element of court representation here. This key aspect, in the text of the instruction, comes with a detailed insight to possible problems with a music ensemble, as well as with the use and character of individual instruments. This study focuses primarily on the status of musical ensembles and musicians within the structure of the aristocratic court, beginning with Charles I (d. 1627), through a partial analysis of the situation at the court of his son Charles Eusebius (d. 1686) and finally brings an outline of the role of musicians and musical life with the third generation of princes from Liechtenstein. Certain continuity can be assumed, in particular, in attempting to adapt its own court to princely habits (for example, as regards the minimum number of trumpeters etc). In general, however, it must be stressed that the trumpeters or the trumpeter ensemble constituted an essential part of the princely court, whereas the existence of a musical ensemble always depended on the actual needs, preferences and economic possibilities of a particular prince.

3. "… Z Indie, té staré Slavů matky..." : hľadanie pôvodu Slovanov v diele Jána Kollára

- Language:

- Description:
- Dielo Jána Kollára zohralo svojho času významnú úlohu. Vysoko sa hodnotí Kollárova poézia, ale zaznávajú sa jeho vedecké práce. Jednou z vedecky kontroverzných otázok, o ktorej sa v kollárovskom výskume nehovorí, je Kollárova teória o pôvode Slovanov z Indie. V Slávy dcere sa Kollár o Indii zmieňuje ako o pravlasti Slovanov. Takéto vysvetlenie podal aj v dnes už prakticky zabudnutom spise Sláwa Bohyně a původ gména Slawůw čili Slawjanův (1839). Cieľom príspevku je preskúmať tento spis, poukázať na jeho miesto v dobovom diskurze o pôvode Slovanov, ako aj na jeho relevantnosť pre pochopenie Slávy dcery. and The works of Ján Kollár played an important role in its time. His poetry is held in high esteem but his scholarly work is ignored. One of his scholarly controversial issues which is absent from the Kollár research is Kollár's theory of the origins of the Slavs from India. In Slávy dcéra (The Daughter of Sláva) he mentions India as the homeland of the Slavs. He propounded this explanation also in the now almost forgotten treatise Sláwa Bohyně a původ gména Slawůw čili Slawjanův (The Glory of the Goddess and the Origin of the Name of the Slavs or Slavyans, 1839). The paper aims at exploring this treatise, showing its place in the contemporary discourse on the origins of the Slavs as well as its relevance for the understanding of Slávy dcéra.

6. "Do what thou wilt" : the history of a precept

- Type:
- Article
- Subject:
- Aleister Crowley, esotericism, occultism, occult revival, Western esotericism, Wicca, and Study of Religions
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Aleister Crowley is the most notoriously transgressive figure in modern Western esotericism, and his best known precept is "Do what thou wilt". This article seeks to elucidate the place of Crowley's precept in the history of esotericism and transgression. More specifically, it seeks to make two points. First, it shows, through an investigation of its sources and influences, that the precept had highly transgressive overtones in the period when Crowley adopted and popularised it. These overtones extended to sexual excess, religious deviancy and fascist politics. Second, it argues that the precept was repurposed in a major way in the latter part of the twentieth century. The precept became domesticated, as the founders of the Wicca movement subsumed it into their own ethical maxim, the "Wiccan Rede". This development serves as an example of how some of the more transgressive and problematic elements of the Western esoteric tradition have come to be softened and obscured in contemporary mass-market, suburban forms of practice such as Wicca.

7. "einen anderen in jeder Hinsicht so repräsentativen Schuldigen gibt es nicht..." : die Bodenreform der Zwischenkriegszeit, die entschädigungslose Enteignung und die Liechtenstein
- Creator:

- Format:
- text/pdf
- Type:
- Article
- Subject:
- land reform, expropriation, confiscation, White Mountain, nobility, Habsburg-Lothringen, Liechtenstein, Auxiliary Historical Sciences, and History
- Language:
- German
- Description:
- In Czech history the theme of the Battle of White Mountain has repeatedly been used as a tool in political struggles. During the interwar period it was instrumentalized in connection with the extensive land reform and was presented as "redress for post-White Mountain grievances". This applied to the nobility in general and to the Liechtensteins in particular, where the actions of Charles of Liechtenstein were to be the main argument for expropriating their property without compensation. In the end, however, expropriation without compensation only affected the members of the Habsburg-Lothringen dynasty.

- Subject:
- Austria, Philipp von Stadion, power and society in Habsburg monarchy, public opinion mobilization, Auxiliary Historical Sciences, and History
- Language:

- Description:
- This paper deals with the problem of mobilization of the society in favor of governmental foreign policy actions in Austria within 1808–1809. The Austrian government during the period of 1805–1809 had the aim to restore its influence in Germany and Austria. Under the leadership of foreign affairs minister Philipp von Stadion the discussion on state and social reforms, and on the new war against France becomes active. To get a positive reply from the public opinion, the mass media become an instrument of Stadion's administration and his supporters within the court in turning the public in favor of actions against France. One of the examples of such media was the newspaper Vaterländische Blätter für Österreichischen Staat. Historiography of the topic is limited and mostly presented in German language and published in Austria.

9. "I'll have everything in diamonds!": students' experiences with minecraft at school

- Type:
- Article
- Subject:
- digital games, formative intervention, classroom research, case study, motivation, and Educational Sciences
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- The aim of this article is to highlight the experiences of 11–12-year-old students at a Norwegian primary school regarding their use of Minecraft in mathematics classes and explore the consequences for their motivation. The present research was carried out as a single case study. This implies an in-depth investigation of a contemporary phenomenon, an intervention, studied in its real-life context, the classroom. The object of the intervention in the participating class in 2015 and the spring of 2016 was to use Minecraft as an attempt to restore motivation for mathematics. The teacher found his students were motivated to work with Minecraft, but a question emerged about students' motivation to perform the given tasks. This study suggests that formative interventions in which the researcher is present in a school context implicates the possibilities for the study of externalisation processes. These processes provide an opportunity to obtain an understanding of what happens when a popular digital game from youth culture is applied to tasks in mathematics to achieve pedagogical goals.

10. "Jediná literatura pro celek našeho národa" : podoby jugoslavismu v literárněhistorických konceptech první poloviny 20. století

- Subject:
- History of literature, Yugoslav literature, Jovan Skerlić, Pavle Popović, Kingdom of SHS (Yugoslavia), Serbocroatian literature, narrative, Yugoslavism, Dějiny literatury, jugoslávská literatura, Království SHS (Jugoslávie), srbochorvatská literatura, narativ, jugoslavismus, and Balkan Studies
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- The study tries to explain the transformation of literary-historical approaches, which occurred in connection with the conclusions of the World War I and the formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). The basic paradigm of integration processes has been developed in the South Slavic nations since the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, but the situation after 1918 has determined new forms of these efforts. In the context of political relations and the idea of a new state structure, however, the interpretative models of literary history have changed, in which three basic concepts can be discussed. In the first, pre-war phase, South Slavic literary history was perceived by Serbian historians as part of the corpus of Serbian literature (Stojan Novaković). The second possible approach is certain Serbo-Croatian dualism (Gerhard Gesemann, Dragutin Prohaska). The third methodology is the concept of Yugoslav literature, whose main representative was Pavel Popović. The analysis of his literary-historical works, especially the Outline of Serbian Literature (Pregled srpske književnosti), Yugoslav Literature (Jugoslovenska književnost), Yugoslav Literature as a Whole (Jugoslovenska književnost kao celina), and the View of Yugoslav Literature (Ogled o jugoslovenskoj književnosti), helps to follow the transformations of the reflections on the unified Yugoslav literature, its specifics in the interwar period and last but not least the circumstances that led to its failure. and Stať se snaží přiblížit proměny literárněhistorických přístupů, k nimž došlo v souvislosti se závěry první světové války a vznikem Království SHS (Jugoslávie). Základní paradigma integračních procesů se v prostředí jihoslovanských národů odvíjelo již od přelomu 19. a 20. století, situace po roce 1918 však těmto procesům určila nové podoby. V souvislosti s politickými poměry a ideou nového soustátí se však změnily i interpretační modely literárních dějin, v jejichž rámci lze hovořit o třech základních pojetích. V první, ještě předválečné fázi byly jihoslovanské literární dějiny chápány zejména srbskými historiky v rámci korpusu srbského písemnictví. (Stojan Novaković). Druhým možným přístupem je určitý srbsko-chorvatský dualismus (Gerhard Gesemann, Dragutin Prohaska). Třetí metodologií je koncept jugoslávské literatury, jehož emblematickým představitelem byl zejména Pavle Popović. Analýza jeho literárněhistorických prací, zejména pak Přehledu srbské literatury, Jugoslávské literatury, Jugoslávské literatury jako celku a Pohledu na jugoslávskou literaturu, umožňuje sledovat proměny úvah o jednotné jugoslávské literatuře, jejích specifikách v meziválečném období a v neposlední řadě i okolnostech, jež vedly k jejímu nezdaru.
