The Living Presence of Invisible Agencies and Unseen Powers – The Dramatised and Reinvented History of Peter Ackroyd’s Novels
No full textThe voluminous body of work of Peter Ackroyd, one of the most versatile contemporary British writers, comprises chiefly of non-fiction and fiction. The first is dominated by his books on English history, English literature, the history and development of London, and a series of biographies of outstanding personalities he labels “Cockney Visionaries”, the latter by his novels. Taking some of the recent tendencies in historical fiction as a frame of reference and focusing on Ackroyd’s novels set solely in the past and both in the past and the present, this article examines how the various sides of his professional self – an historian, literary historian, biographer and writer – combine and intersect in his rendering and re-enacting history as a lively material and inheritance that can still be palpable in and illuminating for our present experience
Phonic Musicality as a Means of Recoding in E. L. Doctorow’s Ragtime
No full textThe article examines art interactions, one of the most topical problems in literary criticism, in the form of literary-musical intermedial aspects in E. L. Doctorow’s Ragtime. Principles of intermedial analyses have been introduced into the study with the aim of identifying artistic forms, namely specific piano phonic implications, of the musical genre of ragtime within the eponymous novel. These phonic aspects of recoding correspond to the term “word music” as defined in the typology of S. P. Scher. In addition, imitations of sound can be represented by both explicit and implicit poetological techniques defined as references in W. Wolf ’s conception of “musicalized fiction.” E. Doctorow recodes figures of ragtime as complex literary forms based on organic interactions between different intermedial techniques – verbal music, word music, musical structures and techniques. In this respect, correspondences of word music to music as defined by A.Gier have also been considered in this study. The article also attempts to interpret the artistic sense of the analyzed literary-musical intermedial forms. To this end, two main lines have been defined which are connected to eternal human values as well as the writer’s intentions to reveal controversial problems of American society
Re-Presentation of African American Womanhood in Three Works of the New Negro Visual Arts Movement
No full textThis article analyzes three works of the New Negro Visual Arts Movement in the 1920s-30s United States, in particular how each artist worked towards reinventing the visual representation of the African American womanhood. The analysis is grounded in, among other sources, the writings of Alain Locke and W.E.B. DuBois as leading African American intellectuals of the period considered. The paper focuses on one painting each by Winold Reiss and Archibald J. Motley, Jr., and a sculpture by Richmond Barthé. It examines how renditions of African American womanhood by these artists complicate the reductive, denigrating stereotypical imagery of the black woman as either the asexual Mammy, or the wanton Jezebel morally unfit to be a mother. Analyzing Motley’s rendition of the black female nude, the article argues that the work restores the black female body to its purity and aesthetic integrity even as it complexly interrogates the issue of the split African American identity in the racially divided world of the period
PROPOSAL OF CRITERIA FOR THE QUALITY OF T RAIN CONNECTION ASSES ON ŽSR NETWORK
No full textCieľom príspevku je načrtnúť novú metodiku pre hodnotenie GVD v osobnej preprave z hľadiska prípojovosti a spojenia. Z pohľadu cestujúceho je potrebné hodnotiť dostupnosť príležitostí cestovať medzi vybranými miestami na sieti železníc. Ponuku prepravy z miesta A do miesta B v zásade ovplyvňuje čas prepravy, počet prestupov, počet cestovných príležitostí. Na prípoje a na spojenie má teda vplyv viacero faktorov. To je východiskom pri vypracovaní návrhu súboru hodnotiacich kritérií hodnotenia prípojovostiThe aim of this paper is to outline a new methodology for assessing of timetable in passenger traffic in terms of connections and links. In terms of passenger it needs to assess the availability of opportunities to travel between selected points on the rail network. Transportation time, number of transfers, the number of travel opportunities affect offer of transportation from point A to point B in principle . The possibilities of connection are thus influenced by a number of factors. This paper starts to draft a set of evaluation criteria for connections asses

DETECTING THE POSTAL TRANSPORT CAGE WHILE PASSING THROUGH THE RFID GATE
No full textČlánek se zabývá detekováním poštovní přepravní klece při průchodu RFID bránou v závislosti na použitém RFID tagu a jeho poloze. Testovány byly dva rozdílné tagy a to aktivní tag typu RFID-tag-MET96 a pasivní tag typu HA-VIS FT 89. Oba RFID tagy jsou konstruovány na kovové předměty.The article deals with the detection of the postal transport cage while passing through the RFID gate depending on the RFID tag and its position. Two different tags were tested namely active RFID-tag-MET96 and passive tag HA-VIS FT 89. Both RFID tags are constructed for identification of metal objects

The Reformation in Krnov (Jägerndorf) and Cieszyn (Teschen)
No full textThe article focuses on the Reformation of two Silesian towns – Krnov (Jägerndorf) and Cieszyn (Teschen) – and gives an idea of its going in the course of the 16th century. In the observed towns, it describes in what period of time and under what conditions the Reformation could develop. It also studies the influence of the individual princes, alternatively the relevant town councils, on the whole process and religious life in the towns, and their steps by which they influenced it. It does not omit the Catholic clergy and monastic orders either and deals with their status and destiny during the Reformation. On the basis of the comparison of the both towns, it describes and assesses the specifics of the Silesian Reformation.The article focuses on the Reformation of two Silesian towns – Krnov (Jägerndorf) and Cieszyn (Teschen) – and gives an idea of its going in the course of the 16th century.

The Aryans and the Ancient System of Caste
No full textOver the last century or two, the dominant accounts of the caste system have looked for its roots in the ancient history of India. More precisely scholars have linked the origin of the caste system to the invasion of a Sanskrit speaking people, the Aryans, who are said to have imposed their language, religion and social structure on an indigenous population called the Dravidians. In this account, the latter were subjugated by the Aryans and made to have an inferior place in society as the lowest caste. Given the importance of the Aryan invasion theory in our understanding of the caste system this article looks into the literature on how this invasion and subjugation actually took place and what evidence is available for it. This analysis leads to the conclusion that hardly any or no evidence exists for the claim that the caste system originated as the result of an Aryan invasion. Subsequently, the article looks into the development of this account in the early nineteenth century European literature in order to see on what this account was based and to identify the background assumptions that make it appear plausible till today.Over the last century or two, the dominant accounts of the caste system have looked for its roots in the ancient history of India.
