Ana Castillo’s Appropriation of the Family Saga in So Far From God
No full textAna Castillo’s most critically acclaimed novel So Far From God (1993) can be considered a recent example of the family saga genre, as it reports the life story of Sofi and her four daughters. However, rather than concentrating on an upper-middle-class white family in a patriarchal setting, Castillo has appropriated the established genre to write a text of Chicana resistance, portraying working-class women as the bearers of spiritual values and social progress. Thus, the focus shifts from male to female characters, who are seen as powerful and independent rather than dominated by men; in fact, Sofi’s husband is absent for the most of his daughters’ lives. In turn, while all the traditional themes of family sagas, such as the history of a family depicted through several generations as well as romance and marriage, are present in the text, they are depicted in a new context. Finally, instead of portraying the family as striving to use money and property as a means of social advancement, Castillo shows the majority of her characters as caring about their wider community. Thus, this paper seeks to examine more closely which particular changes the author has made within the set of the genre’s conventions

The Caste Connection. On the Sacred Foundations of Social Hierarchy
No full textToday, some commentators argue that the caste system in India is founded in Hinduism; others deny this in the case. This article argues that we do not possess any conceptual apparatus to address this question today, because it was originally raised and answered in a Christian-theological context. The secularization of a Protestant-Christian notion of false religion gave shape to the European conception of ‘the caste system’ as an immoral social hierarchy. Basic theological ideas about the connection between false religion and social practice were transformed into topoi of social theorizing, which constituted the caste system as an experiential entity and conceptual unit in the Western cultural experience of India.Today, some commentators argue that the caste system in India is founded in Hinduism; others deny this in the case.

The Nobility in Bohemia and in the Habsburg Monarchy within the Legal and Social Context of the 19th Century
No full textIn this study the author specifically summarises Czech research on nobility in relation to the Habsburg Monarchy during the 19th Century. She demonstrates that the nobility did not comprise a monolithic, internally undifferentiated unit, because its lifestyle was still regulated by the specific provisions of the aristocratic hierarchy, which did not always have the nature of a standard legal norm. It was above all the nobility who clung to its observances and enclosed itself in an increasingly tighter, though not hermetically sealed, individual group of persons. In terms of their number, they represented a mere fraction of the entire society, but their significance could not be entirely ignored. Meanwhile, in the traditional area of aristocratic influence its impact was gradually fading. During the 19th Century this process probably progressed most rapidly in the army and specifically amongst the senior officers. A more complex situation arose at a higher level of the Catholic hierarchy, whereas this trend manifested to its least extent within the diplomatic service. Meanwhile the nobility that did not have any direct ties to the Imperial Court was gradually losing-out. In the mid-19th Century the nobility lost both their rights and their obligations as landed lords. On the other hand, usually nothing would prevent them from participating in a modern business. Not everybody belonging to this social layer, however, had both the necessary ability and/or the desire to do so.In this study the author specifically summarises Czech research on nobility in relation to the Habsburg Monarchy during the 19th Century.
