The Great War

The World War can be justifiably called the great seminal catastrophe of the 20th century, because the war that should have ended every further war, just disseminated the seeds of another cataclysm. From this point of view it is comprehensible why lots of historians deal with the named period. Numerous monographies and articles that deal with the destructing and stimulating eff ect of the Great War have seen the light of day. However, the mentioned works usually have serious defi cenceis, as most of them deal only with the battlefi elds, and a small proportion deals with the question of everyday life and hinterland, and the ordeals of the POWs are superfi cially described. In case of Hungary, the more serious researches related to POWs only started at the time of the centenary. This is why we can still read in some Serbian literatures about the people annihilating endeavors of the „huns” of Austria–Hungary. My choice of subject was therefore justified by the reasons outlined above. In my presentation I expound on briefly introducing the situations in the austro–hungarian POW camps. Furthermore, the presentation depicts in detail the everyday life, the medical and general treatment, clothing supply, the question of the minimal wages and working time of the prisoner labour forces. Lastly, I am depicting the problem of escapes and issues dealing POWs marriage and citizenship requests.

The first scene is in Lima Barreto’s novel Recordações do escrivão Isaías Caminha (Memories of the scrivener Isaías Caminha), when referring to the Vaccine Revolt in the Rio de Janeiro of the 20th century, compared to the manifestations of 2013 and 2014 in Brazil; the second is about the media spectacularization of the street manifestations between 2013 e 2014 in Brazil, and also on Dilma Rousseff's impeachment process in 2015; the third one is from the everyday life of a girl from Brasília in October of 2014. All those three situations reveal the world of the working class and its helplessness in the face of the media spectacularization.Keywords: Work. Media. Politics. Spectacle.

Artistic Heritage

The article presents Lev Alperovich, a little-known to general public Belarusian painter of the beginning of the 20th century, who was Ivan Trutnev’s student in Vilnius Drawing School and a student of Ilya Repin in the Emperor’s Arts Academy in St. Petersburg. The works of Lev Alperovich that survived after the World War II are kept in the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus. The analysis of the painter’s biography and creative heritage reveals a new vector which was gradually emerging in Minsk at the beginning of the 20th century, i.e remoteness from the academic late “peredvizhniki” realism and the ambition to find a niche in the evolving Russian modern style or the European Art Nouveau style and symbolism. Relatively sparse artistic heritage of Alperovich – single and group portraits, genrepainting, everyday life scenes and staffage landscapes – allows the author to single out this painter as a Belarusian painting phenomenon of the 20th century.

The article discusses the patterns of everyday life of the Old Believerswanderers in the territory of Kargopol district of the Olonets province. It draws upon new archival materials of church and secular origin, as well as a number of significant works by the missionaries. The study explores peculiarities of the wanderers’ worldview, the forms and methods of their preaching activity, and the structure of their communities. The wonderers’ teaching was deeply eschatological, which led to a complete break with “the world of Antichrist”. The study provides a detailed description of the everyday life of the wanderers. An important feature in the life of these communities was constant and intensive ties between territories where their co-religionists were present. Particular attention is paid to the problems of mutual perception and confrontation between the wanderers and government representatives (police and clergy). The wanderers’ activities, in spite of their eschatological attitudes, showed in fact their intense involvement with the outside world.

Playing Bulgarian folk dances- horoes, is a fascinating, emblematic and centuries’ years old tradition. The folk dance is an important part both from different holidays and from the everyday life of Bulgarians. This is one of the most significant and fascinating folklore activities, making Bulgaria famous all over the world. We can define Bulgarian national dance as an exceptionally beautiful art. This is a skill that makes people happy and energetic. Folk dances reveal the temper of our nation. At the same time, in the rhythm of the dance lives the collective spirit, which attributes to feeling joy, delight and rest when dancing with other people.That is why Bulgarian folk dance is not only a way to feel happy. It gathers, gives strength, teaches, expresses and above all- gathers the people of Bulgaria. It is also a way to be closer to nature. That is why Bulgarian folk dance is strength for the spirit. It is a magic for the soul- chases away tiredness and bad mood by generating positive energy and releasing the discomfort and stress. The following text presents classification of the Bulgarian folk dances- horoes according to different and various criteria. They are divided into groups according to: the performers, the type of dancing chain, metrorhythm, customs, folklore regions, tempo and others. The following resume confirms the variety and wealth of Bulgarian folk dance. The text also defines the dance as a magic that preserved our spirit and our nation throughout our history. It is not only a magic that is still alive, but a magic that is actively represented by different dancing formations nowadays. Bright costumes, thrilling music and energetic horoes – they always provoke emotions and loud applause among native and foreign public. The charming nature of Bulgarian dances is the reason why they are still alive and have been passed from one generation to the other. In this way, this centuries’ years old tradition will be preserved for the future generations and the Bulgarian shall never be forgotten.

This chapter considers the relationship between deep equality and law, recognizing that for many people equality is a domain of discussion that is located primarily in law. Though this book is in part about displacing law’s dominance over equality discourse and reinscribing it in the domain of the everyday, the author maintains that deep equality and law’s version of equality are not completely unrelated and it is worth considering law’s role in the working up of a particular way of framing equality that has come to dominate the discussion of religious diversity and its ‘management’. Drawing on earlier chapters in this book whose working assumption has been that law is not at the centre of everyday life and that it does not guide the negotiation of difference, the book turns to the necessary task of recognizing law’s place in the conceptualization of diversity and its contribution to the peace of living together. The author excavates law through the examination of a case study for evidence of the values and practices that belong to deep equality, seeking those moments when law evidences respect, neighbourliness, caring, and perhaps even love.

The World

The world wars of the 20th century saw the collapse of pre-war rules designed to protect merchant shipping from interference. In both wars, combatants engaged in unrestricted submarine warfare and imposed vast ocean exclusion zones, leading to unprecedented interference with ocean commerce. After World War I, the United States began to supplant Britain as the leading naval power, and it feuded with Britain over maritime rights. Other developments in the interwar period included significant state-sponsored ocean research, including activity by Germany in the Atlantic and the Soviets in the Arctic. Maritime commerce was buffeted by the shocks of the world wars. Eager to trim costs, US shipping companies experimented with “flags of convenience” to avoid new national safety and labor regulations. The question of the breadth of the territorial sea remained unresolved, as governments bickered about the appropriate outer limit of sovereign control.

Monasticism is a social and religious phenomenon that originated in antiquity, which remains relevant in the 21st century. Monasticism: A Very Short Introduction discusses the history of monasticism from the earliest evidence for it, and the different types that have developed. It considers where monasteries are located around the world, and how their settings impact the everyday life and worldview of the monks and nuns who dwell in them. Exploring how monastic communities are organized, this VSI also looks at how all aspects of life are regimented. Finally, it discusses what the stories about saints communicate about monastic identity and ethics, and considers what place there is for monasticism in the modern world.

AbstractDespite West End producers' and critics' expectations that it would never turn a profit, R. C. Sherriff's Journey's End (1928) became the most commercially successful First World stage drama of the interwar period, celebrated as an authentic depiction of the Great War in Britain and around the world. This article explains why. Departing from existing scholarship, which centers on Sherriff's autobiographical influences on his play, I focus instead on the marketing and reception of this production. Several processes specific to the interwar era blurred the play's ontology as a commercial entertainment and catapulted it to international success. These include its conspicuous engagement with and endorsement by veterans of the war, which transformed the play into historical reenactment; the multisensory spectatorial encounter, which allowed audiences to approach Journey's End as a means of accessing vicarious knowledge about the war; and a marketing campaign that addressed anxieties about the British theatrical industry. Finally, I trace the reception of this play into the Second World War, when British soldiers and prisoners of war spontaneously revived it around the world. The afterlives of Journey's End, I demonstrate, suggest new ways of conceiving of the cultural legacy of the First World War across the generations.
