Get PDFPolitics of the French empire in the east Adriatic coast (1809–1814)
Get PDFThe article processes the period of the French Empire’s rule on the east Adriatic coast between 1809 and 1814. Based on the relevant literature and historical sources, the article points to events that followed Campo Formio\u27s peace in 1797 until the destruction of French rule in 1814. Special focus is placed on the activities of the new rulers, based on the ideas of the French revolutions, which sought to transform the area of east Adriatic and integrate it into the state system of the French empire, with the goal of creating a united political, administrative, militaristic, economic and cultural-educational area. In that context, in the article, the main question being examined is the formation of the Illyrian provinces, which were intended to be a separate province of the French empire, which was supposed to unite different national and religious communities that spoke the same language. With a comprehensive analysis of political and social changes, an attempt is made to point to a pioneer attempt to transform a patriarchal and traditional community, through the implementation of modern models of public administration, healthcare, and education.Članak obrađuje perod vlasti Francuskog carstva na Istočnoj obali Jadrana u periodu od 1809. do 1814. godine. Na osnovu relevantne literature i istorijskih izvora, ukazuje se na događaje koji su uslijedili nakon mirovnog sporazuma u Campo Formiju 1797. godine, sve do urušavanja francuske vlasti 1814. godine. Poseban fokus je na aktivnostima novih vlasti, da na idejama Francuske revolucije transformišu prostor Istočnog jadrana, i integrišu ga u državni okvir Francuskog carstva, sa ciljem stvaranja jedinstvenog političkog, administrativnog, vojnog, ekonomskog i kulturno-obrazovnog prostora. U tom kontekstu, u članku je posebno obrađeno pitanje formiranja Ilirskih provincija, koje su zamišljene kao posebna pokrajina Francuskog carstva, koja će objediniti različite naconalne i vjerske zajednice koje su govorile istim jezikom. Sveobuhvatnom analizom političkih i društvenih promjena, pokušava se ukazati na pionirski pokušaj transformacije jedne patrijarhalne i tradicionalne zajednice, kroz uvođenje savremenih modela javne uprave i administracije, zdravstvene zašttite i obrazovanja.The article processes the period of the French Empire’s rule on the east Adriatic coast between 1809 and 1814.

Lesson for the future climate migration. A study of relocation and development of new settlements in urban peripheries based on spatial dispersion of forced migrants in Serbia between 1991 and 2021
Get PDFClimate migrations are going to affect the spatial structure in many regions of the world. We are now able to research long-term displacement and its spatial effects. Using the example of Serbia and the 30-year history of migration after the conflicts connected with the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, the article analyses the accompanying processes. The aim of this article is to study the spatial effects of long-term (forced) migration. The research is based on sociological and spatial planning methods, i.e. statistical data, geospatial information and institutional document analysis. The analyses show social and spatial trends in migration and settlement formation in Serbia between 1991 and 2021.Climate migrations are going to affect the spatial structure in many regions of the world.

Get PDFMiejsce Pamięci „Danica” w narodowej i lokalnej polityce historycznej oraz kulturze pamięci w Chorwacji i Koprivnicy
Get PDFThe „Danica” Memorial Site in national and local politics of history and culture of memory in Croatia and Koprivnica. The aim of the article is to show the evolution of the attitude of state and local authorities toward the „Danica” Memorial Site located on the place of the first former concentration and transit camp established by the Ustasha regime during World War II (1941–1942). The Memorial Site has been established in Koprivnica in the late 70s and early 80s. The former camp operated for several months in 1941, most often as a transit site for prisoners. The public and symbolic perception of this site constitutes a reflection of changes that have taken place within the historical politics and culture of memory in Croatia over several decades. On the basis of press reports and scholarly literature, steps toward the „memorialization” of the area will be analyzed, and the evolution of the official attitude of the authorities toward what happened at „Danica” during World War II will be presented. In socialist Yugoslavia the heroic struggle of the communist partisans was emphasized above all, then they were supplemented by activities commemorating civilian victims of the war. After the breakup of Yugoslavia, „Danica” was overlooked in the official discourse, the site was neglected and associated with the „unwanted” memory of the communist partisans of World War II. Work on restoring the place to collective memory was not undertaken until the 21st century.W artykule przedstawiono ewolucję stosunku władz państwowych i lokalnych wobec Miejsca Pamięci „Danica” w Koprivnicy, stworzonego na przełomie lat 70. i 80. XX w. na terenie pierwszego obozu kocnentracyjnego, założonego przez ustaszy. Funkcjonował on przez kilka miesięcy 1941 roku, najczęściej był miejscem tranzytowym dla więźniów kierowanych do innych ośrodków. Publiczny i symboliczny odbiór tego miejsca stanowi indykatywny element zmian, które zachodziły w ramach polityki historycznej i kultury pamięci w Chorwacji na przestrzeni kilkudziesięciu lat. Na podstawie relacji prasowych i literatury naukowej zaprezentowane zostaną działania w kierunku „memorializacji” tego obszaru, przedstawiona będzie ewolucja oficjalnego stosunku władz wobec tego, co działo się w „Danicy” podczas II wojny światowej. W socjalistycznej Jugosławii centralne miejsce w polityce historycznej zajmowały dzieje Walki Narodowowyzwoleńczej, prowadzonej przez komunistyczny ruch partyzancki (Narodnooslobodilačka borba; NOB). Był to jeden z niekwestionowanym mitów założycielski socjalistycznej federacji i filar legitymizacji rządów komunistycznych. Akcentowano przede wszystkim bohaterską walkę partyzantów, a miejsce ofiar cywilnych było marginalne. Poświęcone im miejsca pamięci tworzono zazwyczaj w późniejszych dekadach. W przypadku Koprivnicy prace w tym kierunku podjęto w drugiej połowie lat 70., a Miejsce Pamięci „Danica“ otwarto w 1981 r.. Po rozpadzie Jugosławii „Danicę” pomijano w oficjalnym dyskursie a miejsce było zaniedbane i kojarzone z „niechcianą” pamięcią o komunistycznej partyzantce z czasów II wojny światowej. Prace nad przywróceniem tego miejsca w kolektywnej pamięci podjęto dopiero w XXI wieku
Snake Island in the Romanian and Ukrainian narrative in the International Court of Justice
Get PDFIn 1948 Romania ceded Snake Island to the Soviet Union, which established a 12-mile maritime zone around the island. After the collapse of the USSR, the island was incorporated into Ukraine. Romania recognized that the island belonged to Ukraine, but a long-running dispute began between Ukraine and Romania over the delimitation of the shelf and the exclusive economic zone. Snake Island became part of this dispute because Ukraine considered it a reference point for the delimitation of the maritime waters. Romania strongly disagreed and referred the dispute to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Both countries presented their arguments not only from the legal, but also historical point of view. They drew completely different conclusions from the same historical sources while presenting their interpretations of the past regarding Snake Island. The dispute ended when the ICJ announced its verdict on February 3, 2009. Both countries accepted it.In 1948 Romania ceded Snake Island to the Soviet Union, which established a 12-mile maritime zone around the island.

Get PDFAttila nutritus in Engadi or the knowledge of late antique historical geography in mediaeval Hungarian chronicles
Get PDFThe 10th chapter of the Chronica de Gestis Hungarorum written by Simon of Kéza contains a puzzling phrase: Attila (...) nutritus in Engadi. So far, no attempt has been made to explain it. According to the authors of the following article, Simon took it from the Latin translation of the Onomasticon of Eusebius of Caesarea (d. 339) by St. Jerome. In all likelihood, Simon gained access to Jerome’s codex during his trip to southern Italy. It is necessary to distinguish three stages of the rise and change of the scholarly tradition about Attila as the ancestor of the Arpad dynasty and the Huns as the ancestors of the Hungarians: 1) Attila is viewed as the ancestor of Almos and Arpad; 2) Aquila in the Hungarian-Polish Chronicle as the founder of the Hungarian state, which was an attempt at a Christian rationalization of the story of the Turul, an ethnogenetic story about the Hungarians and their dynasty; 3) the inclusion of the Huns in Hungarian history by Simon of Kéza while removing Attila from among the ancestors of the dynasty. The mention of Engaddi (attesting to Simon\u27s knowledge of the latin topography of Palestine, ultimately derived from Eusebius of Caesarea) likens him to the biblical David showing that, like the great warrior-king of Judah and Israel, Attila was the preeminent ruler of the Huns, i.e. the Hungarians, and at the same time legitimizes him, placing him, and, not least, his people, in the horizon of the world of Mediterranean civilization.The 10th chapter of the Chronica de Gestis Hungarorum written by Simon of Kéza contains a puzzling phrase: Attila (...) nutritus in Engadi.
