The Ideal Cardinal and the Role of the Papacy in Dell’uffizio del cardinale (1599) by Giovanni Botero
No full textThe paper aims to highlight the principal topics of Giovanni Botero’s speech Dell’uffizio del cardinale (1599), the first part of it being dedicated to show what cardinals could do to improve Catholicism in the Reformation world, and the second one, known as Discorso intorno allo Stato della Chiesa, is based on the analysis of the papacy as an independent state: a state that was regional but with universal pretensions.The paper aims to highlight the principal topics of Giovanni Botero’s speech Dell’uffizio del cardinale (1599), the first part of it being dedicated to show what cardinals could do to improve Catholicism in the Reformation world, and the second one, known as Discorso intorno allo Stato della Chiesa, is based on the analysis of the papacy as an independent state: a state that was regional but with universal pretensions
Vienna, the Spanish Ambassador and the Nuncio: The 3rd Marquis of Aytona and the Fading Catholic Alliance (1624–1629)
No full textThe papacy and the Spanish Monarchy were, by the decade of 1620, the most global powers in Europe and their dynastic and confessional priorities led to changing clashes and alliances around the world. Local contexts were decisive: in Rome, the creation of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide challenged Spanish control over missionaries beyond Europe, while in Madrid the royal favourite Olivares attempted to establish a major Catholic alliance with France and the papacy against the Protestants. In Vienna, the conflict between papal and Spanish diplomats was hard to dissimulate after 1623. The arrival of a new ambassador –the 3rd Marquis of Aytona– supposedly closer to the papacy, should reverse this situation. This article explores the causes of the distancing between two intrinsic allies. It examines their competing tactics of negotiation and communicative devices to voice their positions at the Imperial court, especially in the polarizing context of the War of the Mantuan Succession.The papacy and the Spanish Monarchy were, by the decade of 1620, the most global powers in Europe and their dynastic and confessional priorities led to changing clashes and alliances around the world.

INLAND NAVIGATION ON THE DANUBE WATERWAY
No full textDunaj, druhá najdlhšia európska rieka, preteká desiatimi európskymi krajinami sveta. Po otvorení prieplavu Mohan – Dunaj v roku 1992 došlo k jej napojeniu na sieť vodných ciest západnej Európy a vytvoreniu vodnej cesty dlhej viac ako 3 500 kilometrov, ktorá spája Severné more s Čiernym morom. Význam tejto vodnej cesty spočíva nielen vo výmene tovaru medzi európskymi krajinami, ale aj vo výrobe elektrickej energie prostredníctvom vodných diel, ktoré ležia na tejto vodnej ceste. Predmetom článku je aj SWOT analýza vnútrozemskej plavby na Dunaji, ako aj objemy prepráv za ostatné obdobie a ich odhad vývoja s použitím metódy najmenších štvorcov.The Danube, the second longest European River, flows through ten European countries. After opening of the Main-Danube Canal in 1992, the Danube was linked with the waterways of Western European countries and a new waterway that is more than 3 500 kilometres long was formed and links the North and Black Sea. The importance of this waterway consist of exchange of goods among these European countries and the production of electricity by the dams that are located on this waterway. The goals of this paper are also SWOT analysis and the volumes of goods transported on the Danube for the last few years and their prediction with using the method of least squares
Language Planning and Policy Issues in Speeches and Addresses of the United States’ Presidents from 1789 to 1901
No full textThis study analyzes language policy and planning (LPP) in the US through presidential communications and speeches during the period from 1789 to 1901, i.e. the period from the George Washington administration ending with the William McKinley administration. The study examines documents of 25 presidents in the target period. It addresses the question of how LPP were understood in presidential documents during the early years of the US foundation. To examine the LPP issues which appeared on the presidential agenda, the searchable “Public Papers” archive of “The American Presidency Project” (http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/), maintained by John Woolley and Gerhard Peters, was used. For clarifying LPP statements the study uses Wiley (1999) and Ruiz (1984) classifications. The study finds that in the examined period, conflicts of values between “national unity” and “equality” were not yet appearing in presidential communication. Discourse in the period is more closely associated with internationalism and pluralism, i.e. nativism, Americanism, “English-only” and human rights movements were still beyond the LPP field. Language policy and planning in the oratory of the first century of the US presidency were oriented towards international relations, treaty negotiations and linguistic accommodation
Justly Forgotten or Unjustly Overlooked? Reconsidering Howard Jacobson’s Coming from Behind
No full textHoward Jacobson is a British Jewish writer, journalist and former professor of English literature who has authored sixteen novels, starting with his 1983 comic campus novel Coming from Behind, as well as six works of non-fiction. In all his works, Jacobson communicates insights into a variety of cultural as well as social topics, often motivated by his own experience. While Jacobson received more credit as a writer after being awarded the Booker Prize for his eleventh novel The Finkler Question in 2010, this recognition does not seem to have initiated a significant interest in his early writing. This paper thus aims to re-evaluate Jacobson’s first novel by contextualizing it within the author’s oeuvre as well as in the tradition of the British campus novel. Devoting close attention to the portrayal of British Jewish identity, intertextuality, and the use of comic and satirical elements, this article seeks to answer the question to what degree Jacobson’s debut novel laid foundations for his later fiction
