Rivalry or friendship? The development of the relationship of the headquarters of the Workers’ Gymnastic Unions to other gymnastic organisations in the Czech Lands in the years 1897–1939
No full text
The study deals with the attitude of the Workers’ Gymnastic Unions (WGUs) towards other gymnastic associations in the Czech lands. These include Sokol, Orel, the Workers’ Federation/Proletarian Physical Education Federation, and the German Arbeiter-Turn und Sportverband. The study seeks an answer to the question of whether the opinions of WGU representatives towards these associations developed on the basis of their own will or external circumstances. Political parties had an important influence on their mutual relations. Thanks to the ideological connection with the relevant gymnastic associations, we can examine whether any opinion was shaped by party ideology. We will also be interested in any change of opinion and the reason for it
Let the Timid Speak: The Woman/Nature Metaphor in Zora Neale Hurston’s “Sweat”
No full textThis article explores Zora Neale Hurston’s short story “Sweat” (1926) from an ecofeminist perspective. When it comes to the role of nature in Hurston’s writing, ecocritical as well as feminist discussions often romanticize the role of nature in the lives of Hurston’s characters. Hurston’s short story “Sweat,” however, has generally been overlooked by ecocritics and ecofeminists, despite the fact that the story’s female protagonist Delia is repeatedly linked with nature or animals in the text. The aim of this paper is thus to examine the manner in which the main character Delia as well as her abusive husband Sykes are associated with nature, including animals, in order to critically assess the abuse Delia is subjected to. Particular attention is then devoted to three main parts of the story: Delia’s connection to her pony, the village men’s conversations and their subsequent comparison of Delia to sugar cane as well as Hurston’s reenactment of the fall from the Garden of Eden. Throughout the analysis, the focus is on the presence of dehumanization related to animalization or naturalization as well as on Hurston’s depiction of the dualistic character of the metaphors woman/nature and woman/animal along with the impact such associations have on Hurston’s characters

Between Styria and Bohemia. On the Sphere of Influence of the Kapfenberg Line of the House of Stubenberg in the Early Modern Age
No full text
The eminent Styrian aristocratic House of Stubenberg appears only marginally in the interpretation of the history of the Czech Lands. This article follows up on the author’s previous research into the work of the members of this house in Bohemia in the early modern age and links it with the facts known to Austrian historiography. Wolfgang von Stubenberg (d. 1556), the lord of Kapfenberg, who became a member of the Bohemian estates and the owner of the Nové Město nad Metují manor, was a remarkable type of a landlord who not only excelled in enhancing his landholdings and making them more profitable, but was also a skilled organiser in the wider context. This aspect of his personality was apparent not only in his economic skills but also in his family’s lifestyle. Over time, the Stubenberg clan thus introduced to Bohemian society three generations of leading Styrian aristocrats with experience of the broader environment of Central Europe and humanist Italy. Their economic background, spanning different regions and also comprising the key topic for interpretation, was therefore not used solely as a means of generating income and strengthening the position of the clan. It also facilitated mutual contacts and exchanges of an intellectual, cultural, and spiritual nature. The estates of the House of Stubenberg in Bohemia, the gradual extension of which went hand in hand with the increasing importance of these holdings and with the family’s integration into Bohemian society, were only dissolved as a result of confiscation and re-Catholicisation in the 1620s. The Stubenberg era faded during the Thirty Years’ War, with the former officials and servants remaining in contact with the family members in exile
Maria Manrique de Lara the Younger and Charles of Liechtenstein, or a love affair with financial benefits
No full text
Economic relations within the nobility at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries were highly interconnected. We very often come across expressions of love that did not avoid the economic sphere either. Charles of Liechtenstein and Maria Manrique were a prime example of a loving couple with an economic overlap
Self-Education and Narrative Power in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights: (Re)Discovering Marginal Women Characters
No full textDespite the secure position of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (1847) in academic and popular culture, the novel may not seem the first choice for a work that features both conventionally appealing characters and reliable narrators as well as modern delineations of class, gender, and race. This study argues that in Wuthering Heights reading, writing, education, and learning resist a unified interpretation, but nonetheless can provide a compass for navigating its unwieldy narrative. In the novel, the landed gentry is above the law of state, and women are at all stages disadvantaged. These depictions come in a continuous social spectrum: the woman who annotates sacred books to write her own story and chooses the cultured gentry but denies her own rough, wild nature (Catherine I), the woman exposed to culture from the cradle who educates the illiterate in a reconciliatory educator-disciple matrimony (Catherine II), the housekeeper born into the servile classes who moves beyond the limits imposed by gentility and social segregation, and has exclusive access to all the personal and social histories embedded within Wuthering Heights (Nelly Dean)
