Subject:
history, social psychology, Czech Social Democracy, political rhetoric, democratization, leaders, and rank and file
Language:
Czech
Description:
This article examines a shift in Czech socialist workers’ political rhetoric in the first decade of the twentieth century from the sense that workers were excluded outsiders from the ethnic nation to the idea that they would rightfully redefine and lead the ethnic nation. Social Democracy’s preoccupation from 1907 on with national concerns led directly to the splitting of Austrian Social Democracy along ethno-national lines several years before the outbreak of World War One. Because this rhetorical and social-psychological shift coincided with a major extension of voting rights in Habsburg Austria (in which Social Democratic mobilizations played a key role), this paper argues that democratization played an important, unappreciated, role in the rise of nationalism in the east central European workers’ movement. It also highlights the role of Czech socialist leader, František Soukup, in facilitating and articulating Czech workers’ new stance. and Článek zahrnuje poznámkový aparát pod čarou

2. Delegitimation through corruption: legal and administrative changes in Bavaria and Prussia during the Napoleonic era (1800-1820)

Type:
model:article and TEXT
Subject:
Bavaria, Prussia, corruption, reform, and Napoleonic Age
Language:
Czech
Description:
The article deals with corruption in Bavaria and Prussia around 1800. In accordance with recent research, the author assumes corruption as a socially constructed phenomenon that is subjected to a historical change. In this article, he tries to show how a new notion of corruption appeared in public, became a weapon in political conflicts and influenced the legal and administrative reforms in both German monarchies. The author concludes that corruption charges might be seen as a driving force behind the legal reforms: The reformers in both countries tried to delegitimise the old regime by corruption charges and, thus, cleared the way for bureaucratic reforms.This delegitimation can be observed in public debates, in internal discussions and in the new laws themselves.

3. Paramilitary extremism in interwar Hungary and its anti-Jewish argumentation

Subject:
Post-World War I anti-Jewish violence, white terror, interwar anti-Semitism, paramilitary atrocities, borderlands, Trianon Treaty, First Vienna Award, Rongyos Gárda, and Iván Héjjas
Language:
Czech
Description:
The article explains the rise of popular extremism in post-World War I Hungary through the story of Iván Héjjas and the Ragged Guard/Rongyos Gárda. This interwar militia is responsible for anti-Jewish and anti-Communist atrocities in 1919-1923, and it was also deeply involved in the spreading of the anti-Semitic sentiment in the Hungarian countryside. Its case is particularly interesting because of its rejuvenation in 1938, when the Hungarian government relied on the militiamen in a secret mission in the Sub Carpathian borderlands against the integrity of Czechoslovakia. The paper also investigates the background of some common anti-Jewish accusations the Rongyos Gárda members propagated, and it tries to understand these arguments in a power framework.

4. Problematika národnostních menšin jako politikum: národní koncepce endecji před první světovou válkou

Subject:
Polish nation, national democracy, Dmowski, Balicki, national minorities, and national egoism
Language:
Czech
Description:
This paper deals with the interpretation of the national discourse of the Polish national democracy at the turn of the 19th and 20th century focusing on the definition of the Polish identity and the desirable extent of the future independent Poland. On the basis of these principles it is possible to determine the attitudes of the National Democrats to the issues of the non-Polish ethnic groups in the regions of former Rzeczpospolita. As the key method of this rersearch we can highlight the comparison of the theoretical concepts of the main exponents of the National Democracy which evidences that optimal definicition of he "Pole" and "Poland" in their notions before World War I was not unambiguous. and Článek zahrnuje poznámkový aparát pod čarou

5. The problem of the differentiation of criticism and art in the literary system of late 18th century Bohemia

Subject:
Schmidt, Siegfried J, 1940-, kriticismus, osvícenství, genialita, criticism (philosophy), enlightenment, genius, functional differentiation, 8, and 94(437)
Language:
Czech
Description:
Starting with the traditional dichotomy of two views of the relation between criticism and art - "criticism as art" and "criticism based on detachment" - this study seeks to show both standpoints to be part of a single complex of issues and tensions associated with the functional differentiation within literary communication at the turn of 18th and 19th century. This approach is based on Niklas Luhmann’s system theory, applied (with something of a twist) by Siegfried Schmidt to literature. After introducing the problem of functional differentiation within the literary system in Bohemia, the study presents many different historical conceptions of the relation of art and criticism observable in discussions at the turn of 18th and 19th century in Bohemia. I then focus on the notion of "genius" in these discussions, which played an important role in the development of the concept of "criticism as art". In the following three parts, the study investigates the differentiation of critical praxis: the genesis of "artistic criticism" characterized by hermeneutics and its form-reflecting approach, and the ongoing usage of artistic genres in criticism. The last part focuses on a specific critical genre of the period, the satirical vision, and its transformation as a consequence of the differentiation of the literary system., Václav Smyčka., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
