The 20th century brought different periods in the history of Mongolia including theocracy, socialism and democracy. This article describes what renouncing the world (especially the home and the family), taking ordination, and taking monastic vows meant at the turn of the 20th century and a century later. Extracts from interviews reveal the life of pre-novices, illustrating their family backgrounds, connections with family members after ordination, and support from and towards the family. The master-disciple relationship which was of great significance in Vajrayāna tradition, is also described. As few written sources are available to study monks’ family ties, the research was based on interviews recorded with old monks who lived in monasteries in their childhood (prior to 1937), monks who were ordained in 1990, and pre-novices of the current Tantric monastic school of Gandantegčenlin Monastery. The interviews revealed similarities and differences in monastic life in given periods due to historical reasons. Though Buddhism could not attain its previous, absolutely dominant role in Mongolia after the democratic changes, nowadays tradition and innovation exist in parallel.

Simultaneously Elsewhere. Imagining Migrancy in Early 20th Century Finnish Literature The article discusses the functions of early 20th century Finnish language fiction on Finnish­American migrancy. The author suggests that fiction depicting migrant life served its contemporary readership as a utopic ”elsewhere” where mobility, gender and agency could be articulated differently from what could be done in literature depicting life in Finland. The argument is developed through readings of three reoccurring tropes articulating migrant subjectivity in fiction: the family (or, rather, its absence), the tramp and the urban housemaid. From a transnational perspective, the article engages with, even if respectfully distances itself from, earlier research on Finnish­American migrant literature with its strong emphasis on reading fiction as representing real­life migrant. Instead, it is proposed that it might be fruitful to approach migrant literature and Finnish literature depicting life in Finland as a diffuse whole, where ideological investments are to an extent bound to locations but not explained causally by them.

The paper discusses two types of Chinese calendars – a traditional agricultural calendar “nongli” which existed in China since the 9th century and a Westernized “yuefenpai” calendar that emerged in Shanghai in the late 19th century and flourished until the 30-40s of the 20th century. Apart from the lunar and solar calendars and a table of 24 seasons woodblock “nongli” calendar featured a Stove God Zao-wang alone or with a spouse surrounded by a suite, fortune bringing deities and auspicious symbols, Stove God was believed to ascend to heaven and report good and bad deeds of the family members to the Jade Emperor. New standards of “peoples`” art in PRC borrowed the aesthetics of the traditional woodblock popular prints by proclaiming “new nianhua” as a new tool of propaganda and criticizing “yuefenpai”.“Yuefenpai” differed from “nongli” by modern technology of production and acting as an advertisement, yet early pieces of Shanghai calendars either feature auspicious characters and motifs or introduce current political events, such as accession of the Pu Yi emperor on the throne in 1908 (reigned in 1908–1912). These calendars were seen to be a cheap and easily available media suitable for informing population about news and innovations. The paper attempts to revisit previously established interpretations of some “yuefenpai” calendars. The research is based unpublished pieces from the collections of the State Hermitage, the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, academic library of the St.-Petersburg State University, the State Museum of the History of Religion mostly acquired by V.M. Alekseev (1881–1951) during his stays to China.

Since the mid-20th century, the United States-, like many Europeancountries, -has witnessed dramatic changes in family life, resulting inremarkably low rates for marriage and fertility, remarkably high rates fordivorce, cohabitation, and out-of-wedlock births. To understand these changes the article presents, on the example of literature, ideologies, philosophical trends, and intellectual opinions, which in a particularly destructive way influenced the contemporary condition of the family.

Lives Of The Artists

Florence was a crucial locus for developments in Italian art throughout the peninsula in the period between 1300 and 1600, and so this article will concern itself with art created in the city rather than by Florentine artists working outside of Florence. To a considerable degree, the pervasive influence of Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists (1550, 1568) affected all later historiography, which followed the patriotic Florentine in his claims that everything of importance throughout the Renaissance originated in the city and spread from there elsewhere. That myth was challenged only in the latter part of the 20th century. Nevertheless, no matter how Vasari exaggerated Florence’s importance, the city was a major center. It was wealthy particularly from the wool trade and through dominance in banking throughout Europe, and the city’s humanists early advised private and corporate patrons about the advantages to their reputations and to that of the city of commissioning art and architecture. Although in the 14th century, Florence was governed as a guild republic, and the major guilds commissioned most of the major works of art, by 1434, Cosimo de’ Medici rose to power, and thereafter except for brief intervals (1494–1512; 1527–1530), the Medici family controlled the city. In the mid-16th century, the family consolidated its power and ruled over all of Tuscany as grand dukes, and changed the nature of commissions to those flattering its rule.

Współczesność pod wieloma względami nie jest początkiem, ale końcem. Podobnie jak w przypadku społeczności i rodziny. Dzisiejsze czasy nie są pierwotne, lecz wtórne. Dlatego, aby je zrozumieć, musimy najpierw zobaczyć ich pochodność. To zagadnienie zostało opracowane na podstawie wielu tekstów autorstwa Alasdair MacIntyre i Hansa Sedlmayra. Aby w dziwnym „dwudziestym wieku” odzyskać dawną siłę myślenia wspólnotowego i rodzinnego, należy skoncentrować się na solidnym rozumieniu instytucji. Arnold Gehlen, ze względu na swoją cenną pracę Urmensch und Spätkultur, w której m.in. w miejsce „bytu” wprowadza pojęcie instytucji, jest proponowany jako niezwykle pomocny w zrozumieniu wiążącej mocy instytucji. Ponadto wskazuje się punkty wyjścia do myślenia o rodzinie, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem książek i przemyśleń takich autorów, jak m.in. C.S. Lewisa, Roberta Spaemanna i Martina Heideggera.

Si la autobiografía, en tanto poética en el sentido platónico del término, ofrece la posibilidad de dar forma a las experiencias a través de su narración, convirtiendo lo que “pudo haber ocurrido” en “algo sucedido”, la memoria genealógica lo hace en relación a nuestro contexto más cercano y nuestras circunstancias más próximas. Nos proporciona un modo de contarnos a través de una visión más amplia, compleja y dilatada —en un sentido también temporal— gracias a la aportación no solo de uno, sino de varios miembros y tiempos. Estas genealógicas se yerguen como rizomas de historias cercanas e interconectadas entre sí que toman forma en su conjunto y donde el núcleo familiar es el centro de atención para contemplar y percibir nuestro entorno, haciendo convivir pasado y presente. El álbum familiar, en su disparidad y heterogeneidad, nos proporciona un modo de narrarnos en familia, de referirnos en relación con nuestros coetáneos, pasados y futuros. Cuenta de ello son los proyectos de las últimas décadas del siglo XX que recurren a un archivo fotográfico, algunos sobre un material disponible, legado, familiar, y otros a uno exclusivamente propio, o incluso a ambos. If the autobiography, as poetic in the Platonic sense of the term, offers the possibility of shaping experiences through narration, transforming “something that could happen” into “something happened”, the genealogical memory does it in relation to our closest context and our closest circumstances. Offers us a way of counting through a broader more complex and expanded vision thanks to the contribution not only of one person, but of several members and several times also. We think about a this genealogies as a rhizome of connected stories that take shape as a whole, and the family nucleus is the center of attention that allows us to contemplate and perceive our environment, coexisting past and present. The family album, in the disparity and heterogeneity, provides us a way to autograph ourselves as a family, a way to tell ourselves about our contemporaries, past and future. An example of this are the projects of the last decades of the 20th century that are repeated in a photographic archive, some of them resorting to an available material, legacy, family, and others about own material, or even both.

The article is devoted to the family life of the Poles in Siberia in the second half of the 19th – early 20th century. The relevance of the research topic is due to the weak study of the history of family life of the Poles in pre-revolutionary Siberia, as well as the importance of the family institution in society. The Poles in Siberia were a specific national-confessional group. Their family life was greatly influenced by the formation of the Polish community in the region, as well as local social and demographic characteristics. The aim of this work is to examine the features of formation of family building and family life of poles in Western Siberia in the second half of the 19th – early of the 20th century, given the social circumstances in the region. The methodological basis of the research is the concept of frontier existence of cultures and the theory of modernization. Exiles who came to Siberia for many years tried to live a full life: they got married, children were born and brought up. The difficulties of life in the harsh region, especially significant for exiles, forced them to look for support, first, in family members and relatives, since family cooperation helped them survive. The demographic characteristics of Polish families during this period were significantly specific in contrast to other national groups. The prevalence of mixed marriages of the Poles with representatives of other Christian denominations in post-reform Siberia indicates the intensity of ethno-cultural interactions. In the resulting ethnic-mixed families, in most cases, a combination of elements of the spiritual culture of various peoples of the region was found. At the same time, religious issues usually receded into the background. Children raised in such families perceived a respectful attitude to their parents’ past, to their origin, and national and religious tolerance was developed in family life.

Resumo: O presente trabalho estuda o heterodiscurso no romance Memórias de Lázaro, do escritor baiano Adonias Filho. Como instrumento de análise, utilizou-se a noção bakhtiniana de heterodiscurso no exame da relação entre o protagonista-narrador Alexandre e a personagem Jerônimo; o estudo indicou a influência dessa personagem como determinante para a estética da narração da obra. A transmissão de discursos mostrou-se fundamental nessa relação sob a forma de um heterodiscurso sobre o mal que não só solidifica o vínculo familiar entre Alexandre e Jerônimo, mas também estabelece o fundamento das condições de legalidade do mal na diegese. Além disso, a construção discursiva de Jerônimo apresentou-se como um heterodiscurso social sobre a zona baiana do cacau de meados do século XX que contrasta com o de outras obras da literatura brasileira ambientadas nesse contexto.Palavras-chave: Adonias Filho; heterodiscurso; Memórias de Lázaro.Abstract: This paper studies the heterodiscourse in the novel Memórias de Lázaro, by the Bahian writer Adonias Filho. The Bakhtinian notion of heterodiscourse was used as an analytical tool to examine the relationship between the protagonist-narrator Alexandre and the character Jerônimo; the study indicated the influence of this character as determinant for the narrative aesthetics of the novel. The discourse transmission proved to be fundamental in the relationship between Alexandre and Jerônimo functioning under the form of a heterodiscourse about the evil that not only solidifies the family bond between them, but also establishes the foundations of the conditions of evil in the diegesis. In addition, Jerônimo’s discursive construction presented itself as a social heterodiscourse about the mid-20th century Bahian Cocoa Zone that contrasts with that of other works of Brazilian literature set in this context.Keywords: Adonias Filho; heterodiscourse; Memórias de Lázaro.
