HISTORIA HISTORIOGRAFII JAKO HISTORIA PRAWDY. DWUGŁOS O PODSTAWACH TEORETYCZNYCH HISTORII HISTORIOGRAFII JERZEGO TOPOLSKIEGO
Full text linkIn this article we refl ect on the theoretical foundations of Jerzy Topolski’s history of historiography. In the fi rst part of the text, entitled “On truth in historiography – pragmatically and idealistically,” Maria Solarska shows the relationship between Topolski’s theory of truth and his view of the community of historians, of that community’s methodological and ethical rules. In the second part of the text, “Historiography between truth and myth,” Maciej Bugajewski raises a question about Topolski’s defi nition of the diff erence between truth and myth. In our opinion Topolski wanted to see the history of historiography as the history of truth about the past.In this article we refl ect on the theoretical foundations of Jerzy Topolski’s history of historiography.

POGLĄDY WANDY MOSZCZEŃSKIEJ NA PRZEDMIOT, ZADANIA I WARSZTAT BADAWCZY HISTORII HISTORIOGRAFII
Full text linkW. Moszczeńska (1896–1974) signifi cantly contributed to the early Polish history of historiography as a distinctive historical subdiscipline. Working together with M.H. Serejski, she created a strong theoretical base for its further development. She argued for considering the history of historical learning in connection with other trends of historical thought. Initially, she att ached most importance to ideological problems, later (aft er 1956) she brought to the fore the issues of methodological and methodical workshop. She treated the history of historiography as an area and a tool of methodological refl ection. Her considerations regarding the use of various types of sources in historiographical research are still in many cases valid and highly inspirational.W.

ANDREJ HLINKA IN THE COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF SLOVAK PROTESTANTS
Full text linkThe present paper maps the portrayal of Andrej Hlinka within the Protestant milieu during his lifetime. It also tries to answer the question of Hlinka’s position in the hierarchy of symbols which were and are relevant for the formation of the Slovak Protestants’ identity. Nowadays, ambivalent or expressly negative att itudes towards Hlinka prevail within the Lutheran community, however, similar att itudes prevailed also during the interwar and aft er-war periods.In 1902 at the regional forum, A. Hlinka did not support the rights of the Slovak language which represented a major att ribute of the national identity of Slovaks. Hlinka’s att itude was then reminded in the Lutheran milieu in the situations when an idealized and mythologized portrayal of Hlinka as an uncompromising fi ghter for the national rights spread in particular via offi cial propaganda. In fact, it served as a de-legitimizing instrument of Hlinka cult. During the existence of the Slovak State (1938/1939 – 1945) Slovak Protestants were massively confronted with the phenomenon of Hlinka and denied this historical fi gure in the position of the most signifi cant national symbol. At the religious celebration of the national hero General Milan Rastislav Štefánik in May 1939, General Bishop of the Protestant Church Vladimír Pavel Čobrda compared both personages – Hlinka and Štefánik – and refused the symbolic governmental policy and propaganda which tried to make believe the whole society including Lutherans that Hlinka was a positive social example. He called Štefánik the greatest Slovak who became the symbol of antifascist resistance.
THE RULE OF SÁNDOR PETŐFI IN THE MEMORY POLICY OF HUNGARIANS, SLOVAKS AND THE MEMBERS OF THE HUNGARIAN MINORITY GROUP IN SLOVAKIA IN THE LAST 150 YEARS
Full text linkSándor Petőfi was the greatest poet of the Hungarian romantic literature, but aft er his participation in the events of the Hungarian revolution of 1848 he became the legendary fi gure of the national liberty and republicanism. Petőfi ’s mysterious disappearance aft er the batt le of Segesvár further confi rmed the importance of his personal heroism and at the end of the 19th Century Petőfi became an emblematic fi gure of the national freedom and independence not just in Hungary, but in Europe too.Petőfi ’s cult was signifi cant in the period between the two world wars too, mainly at the time of hundredth anniversary of his birth. A memorial banknote was issued on this occasion and were staged a national commemoration in 1925.In the communist era Petőfi was the idol of the radical revolutionary republicans, who fought against the members of the oppressive ruling classes. His glorious and heroic image became one of the fi gures of the Hungarian communist pantheon. But also the anti-dictatorship young intellectuals viewed Petőfi as a role model and founded Petőfi Circle prepared for the events of the revolution of 1956.Until the end of the seventies Petőfi became again the emblematic historical hero of the antiregime democratic opposition movement. Th e square at Petőfi statue was the scene of many demonstrations. Th is square was also the favorite commemoration place also of the Hungarianliberal political party aft er the Hungarian political transition in the last decade of 20th Century
THE PORTRAYAL OF ANDREJ HLINKA IN SLOVAK HISTORIOGRAPHY
Full text linkTh e paper analyzes the course of the process of historical research of the personality of Andrej Hlinka. One of the most signifi cant fi gures of the Slovak history in general became the subject of interest of the Slovak historians only gradually, slowly and with big diffi culties. Nevertheless, historians´ opinions which have been formed in particular period connections refl ect specifi - cally and typically the peripeties of the development of the Slovak national issue and phases of interest (disinterest) of historiography in this personality, and they represent a unique source of the view of collective historical memory of the national community, of the formally desired and naturally formed development of the community´s notion of the values of its own past.No historical monograph on Hlinka was published in 1939-1989. However, important references, period evaluations and observations can be found in synthetically oriented works of the following historians: František Hrušovský, František Bokes, Július Mésároš and Ľubomír Lipták and others. Th e personality of Hlinka was either suppressed or evaluated one-sidedly negatively. Th e year 1968 brought a certain change in this direction and revaluation of Hlinka’s personality. Th e period of normalization in 70s and 80s created a larger space to remember Hlinka’s personality, however, its interpretation was again shift ed towards negative side. The social and political change aft er 1989 and current state of research corroborate natural comeback of the personality in its environment, however, they also mirror a disproportion between spontaneously preserved “heritage of (the Slovak) historical memory” (heritage of the memory of majority of the national community, respectively) and institutionally created “memory of the heritage”.
PRESERVE FROM OBLIVION - POLISH CULTURAL HERITAGE AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE SOCIAL SPACE OF THE POLES IN PIEDMONT
Full text linkCultural heritage of any nation will aff ect both the supporting national identity, as well as creates collective memory, is shaping it, enriches and makes the material expression. A good example of activity in the fi eld of the protection of the Polish heritage, based on the social, organizational and institutional cooperation is a Polish enclave in Piedmont. Th ere, many of the events recorded in the pages of the history of the two Nations were played. At present, for many Poles in Piedmont in exile a bond with the country of origin is a crucial element of their life. It is expressed in promoting the activities of Polish heritage. It has two main strands. Th e fi rst is to support Polish customs and traditions associated with the celebration of Polish holidays formula - Christmas and Easter. Th ere are parties for children and youth with Polish-Italian and Italian, organized by members of the Italian-Polish organizations Comunità Polacca di Torino.This is associated with the care of the maintenance of the Polish language among children and young people from mixed families. Th e second stream of dissemination of Polish heritage in Piedmont is a project of national historical dimension. Honoring the memory of the events of Polish history offi cially became possible from the period of political transformation in Poland and the socio-political changes in the international arena. Th anks to the cooperation with the city and the region and the Polish diplomatic posts in Italy it is possible to organize a number of important events
