New approach to the study of the role of encircling ditches in Sarmatian burial rites
, among the Sarmatians of the Carpathian Basin, in addition to the primary ritual function of the enclosing ditches, a secondary space-organizing function also appears, which presupposes the emergence of a more complex social organization.
Abstract
Literature, like any other social activity capable of generating perpetuated products, has likewise functioned along the ages on two different levels. On the one level, it managed to generate and provide possible models for consensual explanations of the world as well as for actual behavior. On the other, it managed to establish itself as a possible asset in an international stock exchange of symbolic capitals. Writing an adequate history of literature, it is suggested in this paper, should better take into account these two levels, as well as the correlations between them. With a better understanding of these correlations, the history of literature can be better understood as an often major factor in the social organization of life. This can help, on a more general level, to integrate the study of literature into a wider framework, by underlining the most distinctive and manifest function of literature in the creation and maintenance of society by means of its culture.
Erhard Eylmann founder of Ethnology in Australia . Life and history of Erhard Eylmann (1860–1926) and his travels and studies in Australia, includes listing by tribe of his anthropological work — Naryngeri, Diäri, Lurritja, Aranda, etc. during his fieldwork 1896–1900 and later. He gives details of the natives, e.g. physical appearance, anthropometry, language-polysyllabic — details of grammar, sign language — meanings — smoke signals, details of ritual and non-ritual mutilations, tooth avulsion, medicine means, tongue operation, sex rituals and behaviour, social organisation, population density, totemism, age grouping, etc. Later Eylmann spent a long study on begging in South Australia and some studies on firemaking. In 1908 he published his fundamental book on Australian anthropology “The Natives on the Colony of South Australia” (in German). There is no doubt that Eylmann is a singular scientist such as Gillen and Spencer.
Through the analysis of the 10 th –11 th -century cemeteries of Heves County, the study contrasts the results and hypotheses of historical research and the archaeological material. It seeks answer to the question, whether it is possible to demonstrate in the Mátra piedmonts the assumed presence of the Kabars and the presence of the Petchenegs evidenced in written sources on the basis of archaeological finds. It also examines how the influence of demonstrably early ecclesiastic centres is reflected in 10 th –11 th -century cemeteries. In connection with a specific site, the issue of Avar survival is also touched upon. Finally, the problem of the use of the so-called early toponyms is tackled as well. An important part of the work is made up by the investigation whether cemeteries do reflect the social organization that had been reconstructed by historical and archaeological research during the past decades. To answer these questions, the thesis introduces a new research method in order to avoid the previously employed “mixed reasoning”.
Gyűrűfű, a small village in Zselic, South-Transdanubia depopulated in the 1970s, is the site of an eco-village experiment since 1990. In addition to some of the physical aspects of the project not covered earlier on, this paper deals with the human ecological features of the new community. Social-anthropological considerations such as community development, social background of the participants, the Communist past, which all are determining factors of the social model emerging on site, are discussed from the systems theoretical perspective which states that certain properties of a subsystem are always defined by the superimposed supersystem, both in physical geography and social organisation. The resulting tensions stretched social cohesion in the past 10–15 years, but new developments such as creating jobs by modern telecommunication means and achieving energy independence through the deployment of solar panels and passive energy conservation solutions off-set for these difficulties. The future of the experiment depends very much on three factors: generation change, immigration/emigration and conflict resolution.
Yugoslav composer Rudolf Bruči is known on the international scene primarily as the author of Sinfonia Lesta, a composition winning the first prize in 1965 at the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Belgium. On a national level, Bruči was a powerful social entity, not only in respect of his creative freedom. As a member of the League of Communists, Bruči spent a lifetime as an official in social organizations and cultural institutions, thus dictating the rhythm of musical life of Novi Sad and the Province of Vojvodina, until the collapse of Socialism when he was suddenly forgotten. The developmental line of Bruči’s oeuvre – leading from Zhdanovian national classicism, through the adoption of elements of the European avant-garde, to the reaffirmation of a national/regional idiom in the mid-1970s – largely corresponds to the general tendencies of postwar art music in the socialist countries of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Bruči broke with the European avant-garde models not only in his creative practice, but he also reasoned it in the articles “The Composers’ Role in the Modern Development of Self-governing Socialist Society,” “Statements of Yugoslav Music Forum Composers’ Workgroup,” and “Manifesto of the ‘Third Avant- Garde’,” where he based his discourse on conformism, lack of communication and dehumanization of avant-garde, and in particular on Yugoslav ideological projects, such as self-management, non-alignment, and deprovincialization. The article analyzes the context in which Bruči’s creative transformation during the 1970s was expressed as the criticism of the Eurocentric cultural model, as well as the suspicion towards the imperative of modernization in a world obsessed with technological advances.
