Description:
Professor Bedřich Hrozný (*May 6, 1879, Lysá na Labem - †December 12, 1952 Prague) is founder of Hittitology. He served for many years as Rector of Charles Univerzity in Prague and he deciphered the Hitttie cuneiform language. He is mostly known as and Old Oriental philologist, but he considered himself to be a historian. Through Hittitology, he unraveled history of a significant ancient empire. Throughout 1924 and 1925, Hrozný undertook the first Czechoslovakian archaelogical research in the Orient – in Syria and Turkey. The first excavation took place on April 4th, 1924 at the mound of Shech Sa´ad near Damascus. In northern Syria, he was also engaged in searching for new archaelogical sites – many times, he even risked his life. Further archaelogical excavations in Syria began on October 17th, 1924 at the moundof Tell Erfad situated southward from the city of Aleppo. Bedřich Hrozný was in his archaelogical works successful and he was allowed to keep and carry away from Syria a part of found artefacts. Nevertheles, he also put aside some of the archaelogical findings without the knowledge of the Syrian authorities. The findings were sent to Beirut, from where, they were trasported as a diplomatic consignment through the Italian city of Trieste to Prague. Many archaelogists from other countries did it the same way, so we shouldn´t look at Hrozný down our noses for this, as he did not do it for himself, but for the science., René Kopecký., and Obsahuje seznam literatury

Description:
The indirect of direct influence of the Bible has to be seen as an important aspect of the process of modernization in relation to Chinese literature at the beginning of the twentieth century. The present article discusses one of the earliest fictional narratives in the modern literary vernacular, Lu Xun´s short story "Medicine" (Yao, 1919), as an example of the reception and assimilation of Biblical motifs in a work written by the founder of China´s modern literature. The discussion focuses not only on various biblical motifs and their sources but also on the distinct roles individual motifs play in the semantic structure of the short story under scrutiny. Among other observations, the article suggest that one of the most prominent recurrent elements in Lu Xun´s belletristic work, the motif of the loner and the crowd, has its roots in the passion narratives of the New Testament, Dušan Andrš., and Obsahuje seznam literatury

Language:

Description:
Czechoslovakia, as a successor state of Austria-Hungary, was forced to deal with the loss of the large protected domestic market that had been provided by membership of the former empire. Several trade missions were organised in the early 1920s in order to seek new areas of activity for Czechoslovak exports and imports, often in hitherto unknown markets. The missions were initiated by the Ministry of Trade or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The paper describes a mission organised by Václav Girsa, which was led by Josef Hříbek. The Hříbek mission was a Czechoslovak legionaries' mission, organised as a by-product of the return of the Legions en route from Vladivostok to Europe. The mission aimed at providing a first hand analysis of the Turkestan area. The route led from Vladivostok, through Bombay, to British Balochistan and then from Eastern Persia to Turkestan. ongoing local conflicts caused a major change in the mission's plans and the group undertook an economic and political study of persia instead., Adéla Jůnová Macková., and Obsahuje bibliografii

Description:
The goal of this paper is not only to explain the history of the little known affair of the British citizen William N. Churchill that occurred in the vicinity of Scutari (Üsküdar) in 1836 but also, and in particular, to demonstrate that as part of its course and outcome the European Powers utilized similar not very serious and largely insubstantial abuses of their citizens in other parts of the world in order to justify their own imperailistic conduct, and thus far exceeded the gravity of the alleged abuses through their own actions. To introduce this issue within a wider perspective, the present article links the Churchill Affair with another event from the same epoch, the so-called Fly Wisk Incident of an Algerian Dey in 1827, which enabled the French government to justify its subsequent occupation of Algeria, thus initiating the European conquest of North Africa in the 19th century., Miroslav Šedivý., and Obsahuje seznam literatury

Sociologie kultury. Kulturní život, sociologie kultury, sociology of culture, 1, and 316.7
Language:
Czech
Description:
Czech is a typical inflecting language. This brings numerous problems in accommodating foreign names in Czech texts (both written and spoken), Chinese personal names being no exception to the rule. The present article begins with a discussion on the structure of Chinese names, explaining the components xing and mingzi. The names used by the Chinese living abroad (the usage of an inverted order of the components, the usage of Western first names etc.) are addressed as well. The ways in which foreign personal names are accommodated within the context of the Chinese language are also briefly introduced. A substantial part of the article deals with the morphological accommodation of Chinese personal names within the context of the Czech language, namely through the declension of Chinese male names according to Czech nominal paradigms, and the derivation of feminine surnames from masculine surnames adding the suffix -ová, which is partly questionable in the case of Chinese female names. The problem of latinization are discussed (the options being either to utilize the Chinese Pinyin alphabet or the Standard Czech Transcription), as well as the proper reading of names within the context of spoken Czech (the absolute phonetic accuracy is neither possible nor desirable). The article closes with a declension table for Chinese male names (the recommended forms are given both in the Pinyin alphabet and in the Standard Czech Transcription)., Hana Třísková, Zdenka Heřmanová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
