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

Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun and the Centenary of the End of the Great War
No full textIn November 2018, the centenary of the end of “the war to end all wars” was commemorated all around the world. World War I affected millions of people and had a profound impact on literature and culture. The paper discusses Dalton Trumbo’s 1939 pacifist novel Johnny Got His Gun and its late 20th century legacy. Although the novel was published long after the war’s end, it remains one of the most powerful anti-war statements. Contrary to more famous World War I novels it does not deal with the disillusionment of the post-war generation. The story of a quadruple amputee which takes place entirely in the main protagonist’s head is a claustrophobic and nightmarish journey into the mind of a young boy trapped in himself, imprisoned in darkness. The novel frequently fell out of favor during the 20th century but it enjoyed its share of popularity in Czechoslovakia, thanks to Trumbo’s communist sympathies
Victims of Austerity or Feckless Freeloaders? The Stereotypes of the Deserving and Undeserving Poor in the Debate on Britain’s Food Bank Users
No full textOnce a rare sight, food banks are fast becoming an established feature of Britain’s social security system, their number having increased from around a hundred in 2010 to over two thousand at present. In 2017, as many as 1.2 million emergency food parcels were given out to individuals and families, with demand continuing to grow. The unprecedented dependence of British households on donated food is a disturbing phenomenon raising many questions not only about the government’s welfare policies but also about poverty and the poor themselves. Using framing analysis, this paper aims to explore the ways in which food bank users are portrayed in the public sphere, with special emphasis on media coverage and political discourse across the left-right spectrum. The competing depictions of food bank users are shown as a continuation of the age-old debate on the causes of poverty and its understanding as either individual or systemic failure
The Role of African American Music in E. L. Doctorow’s The March
No full textThis paper explores the role of African American music in E. L. Doctorow’s historical novel The March (2005), with a focus on selected scenes in which this type of music occurs. It examines the emotions elicited in the protagonists as well as the atmosphere created or underlined by this music. Furthermore, it takes into account which musical instruments are employed and considers their significance in the book with regard to their symbolic meaning. It also investigates the extent to which African American music contributes to the development of the story. The name of the book refers to Sherman’s March to the Sea, which took place towards the end of the American Civil War and when numerous former slaves were freed by Sherman’s troops. The fate of the freed slaves, however, was rather complex, which is reflected in the characteristics of the music that they perform in certain scenes. The relevance of African American Music to Doctorow’s work is highlighted by the fact that the author himself became world-famous chiefly for his novel Ragtime (1975), whose main protagonist Coalhouse Walker is a pianist of African American origin. The character’s fictional father Coalhouse Walker senior appears as an African American banjo player in The March
Virgin or Wife? St Dorothy’s Legend on the Late Restoration Stage
No full textAlthough the early modern and the Restoration periods in England mark two distinct theatrical traditions, theproduction of English Restoration playwrights was to a great extent characterized by a conscious reliance on the legacy of their early modern precursors, which resulted in the high number of adaptations of old plays written and staged well into the 18th century. The canons of the two dramatic traditions are, thus, intertwined, and their parallel study provides valuable insight into the then dramatic conventions and the development of English drama in general. The present paper analyses the late Restoration adaptation Injured Virtue, or The Virgin Martyr (1714) by Benjamin Griffin and compares it with its early modern source, the tragedy The Virgin Martyr (1620) by Philip Massinger and Thomas Dekker. After addressing Griffin’s motives for choosing this particular Jacobean play, the paper discusses the most significant differences between the two texts and argues that Griffin’s alterations in the list of dramatis personae and his rhetorical transformation of the play’s main protagonists (especially that of the story’s heroine, St Dorothy) lead to the inevitable conclusion that, with the two periods in questions and their dramatic conventions being so different, not every Restoration adaptation managed to translate the early modern material successfully
John of Nepomuk in Lutheran Dresden: The Reconversion of the House of Wettins and the Role of the Czech Patron Saint in the First Half of the 18th Century
No full textThe aim of the study is to present the use of the popularity of John of Nepomuk at the time when he was newly proclaimed saint (1729), especially in the communication strategies of the Catholic and Lutheran clergy and ultimately in shaping the image of the royal representation through demonstrated relationships between the recatholized Wettins and the Habsburg imperial family. What is important here is not merely evidence supported by examples, but above all the imagination associated with them.The aim of the study is to present the use of the popularity of John of Nepomuk at the time when he was newly proclaimed saint (1729), especially in the communication strategies of the Catholic and Lutheran clergy and ultimately in shaping the image of the royal representation through demonstrated relationships between the recatholized Wettins and the Habsburg imperial family.
