In the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th, many Jews belonging to high society and undertaking freelance occupations began to assimilate with their usually Christian environment. This was often a necessary prerequisite (also legally) for their social advancement. Nevertheless, their assimilation was rarely complete. In most cases, it was only partial and concerned clothes, everyday habits and education. The change in religion did not become a mass phenomenon in either Europe or America – quite the opposite. This limited assimilation was testament to the Jewish attachment to their religion, regardless of the centuries-long life in the Diaspora. Although numerous changes had occurred in the world, many of the rules respected by Jews throughout history remained valid. For instance, in their hierarchy of importance, education remained higher than wealth

The digital space serves, for the diaspora Nigerians, as a creative platform for identity and cultural preservation: a way through which they maintain connection with their homeland. This notion is evidently articulated in their creative writings on the digital space through where they imaginatively explore diverse social realities and personal experiences. This paper sets out to examine diaspora digital literature: role reversal and the construction self in selected Ikheloa’s Autobiographies. It interrogates memories of the home concept and the lamentation of the self as a social construct. The mechanism adopted by Ikheloa in trying to manage the other (new personality) while struggling to reconcile the memory of gender roles in Nigeria. Memory is an anchor and a strategy for survival for most diaspora writers. Memory of home is emphasized in the narrator’s autobiographies and a desire of home as representation of freedom and authority. But the price for a better life for his children seems to hold him captive and as such, he practices ‘fatherhood’. However, this practice is with an endless wish of returning home as a means of preserving his mind while carrying out his new gender roles in America. Psychoanalytic is adopted as premise for the analyses of the texts.

The main axis of Arab American literature is its portrayal of the experiences that Arab Americans go through in their daily life inside and outside the USA. Taking Mohja Kahf’s novel as a literary sample, this paper examines the extent to which triple consciousness, faith development, and existentialist thought forge Khadra’s perplexity in understanding her identity – she struggles to explore her true self in two different cultural realms i.e., Mecca and Indianapolis. By employing points of view and criticism of well-known scholars and critics such as Erik Erikson, Henri Tajfel and James Fowler, this paper concludes that Khadra, as an escape from her psychological unrest in two incompatible cultures, locates herself in what I call as the fourth space.

This article is devoted to the creation and main activities of the Polish national sections under the party and state authorities in the South of Russia (Don and North Caucasus) in the first Soviet decade (1920s). Special attention is paid to the sections under the committees of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) – RCP (b), in 1925 renamed All-Union CP (b). In the historical literature on the history of Poles of the region, with rare exceptions, these structures did not attract the attention of researchers. This is due to the negative attitude towards their activities in regional Polish studies. The author considers that, for all the costs associated with the prevailing regime, the mere presence of the national sections in the system of power structures encouraged the authorities to take into account the problems of Diaspora groups.

The study discusses history of the Jewish population and community in the town of Velké Meziříčí. It describes and analyses factors that influenced the destinies of the Jews living in the Moravian Margraviate, one of the lands of the Crown of Bohemia, in early modern times. This paper traces the development changes in the Jewish community in Velké Meziříčí starting from the time the first Jews settled in the town. Special attention is paid to basic features of the community, the ghetto and its functioning. The first mentions of Jews in Velké Meziříčí date back to 1518 represented by an entry in the Municipal Book. However, the arrival and first settlements of Jews in Velké Meziříčí were first described in a book of newly received citizens in 1611. The Jewish community in Velké Meziríčí did not display cultural attributes of a specific religious subculture or an autonomous community until mid‑17th century. The sharpest population growth occurred at the beginning of the 1650s, which is when the Jews from Velké Meziříčí formed a mid‑sized community and they were the second largest Jewish community in the territory known today as the Jihlava District after Třebíč. This is the reason why the historical part of this study focuses particularly on 17th–19th centuries, which is the period when the Jewish community flourished and it also merged with the town and together they formed an independent and unique political entity. This study aims to contribute to more profound understanding of a particular Jewish community in Moravia from cultural‑historical and anthropological perspective.

Od Soboru Watykańskiego II Kościół jest rozumiany jako sakrament zbawienia i jedności ludzi między sobą i z Bogiem. Jego trzy istotne cechy: martyria, diakonia i liturgia, ukazują i urzeczywistniają tę sakramentalność Kościoła, które stale uwzględniają społeczne i religijne uwarunkowania. W odróżnieniu od sytuacji Kościoła jako większości, w warunkach diaspory niezbędne są szczególne środki wyrazu fundamentalnej postawy diakonijnej: samozrozumienie jako „twórczej mniejszości”.

EN

The Church is and must be the sacrament of salvation and the sacrament of the unity of mankind among each other and with God. The three dimensions martyria, diakonia and liturgia illustrate the sacramentality of the church, which continuously takes into consideration the precise social andreligious conditions of Christians. In contrast to the life of the Church, in the position of majority, the religious Diaspora may on the other hand require particular forms which are principally concerned with a “diaconic” attitude of Christians living as a “creative minority”.

The Diaspora (hebr. gālût), it is a common term describing Jewish presence outside of Eretz Israel. Greek term "Diaspora" is equivalent to Hebrew idea of dispersing or scattering in different directions. The term contains a complexity of historical, geographical, social and cultural conditions. Jewish Diaspora phenomenon became a new reality in the history of Israel during the Second Temple period. This reality was expressed in Jewish writings, nowadays qualified according to convergence and antagonism theory; the main problem concerned was a question of Jewish identity in Diaspora. This identity was focused on the relation between Jewish moral, having its source in the conscience of the covenant and intellectual and universal values of the Hellenistic culture. The conclusion of that kind of studies is that it is impossible to establish any universal definition of Jewish Diaspora. It is also impossible to work out a kind of universal model being able to grasp all the aspects of Jewish life in the Diaspora.

“It is important to stress that a variety of positions with respect to feminism, nation, religion and identity are to be found in Anglophone Arab women’s writings. This being the case, it is doubtful whether, in discussing this literary production, much mileage is to be extracted from over emphasis of the notion of its being a conduit of ‘Third World subaltern women.’” (Nash 35) Building on Geoffrey Nash’s statement and reflecting on Deleuze and Guattari’s conceptualization of minor literature and Gloria Anzaldua’s Borderland(s), we will discuss in this paper how the writings of Arab Anglophone women are specific minor and borderland narratives within minor literature(s) through a tentative (re)localization of Arab women’s English literature into distinct and various categories. By referring to various bestselling English works produced by Arab British and Arab American women authors, our aim is to establish a new taxonomy that may fit the specificity of these works

For the first time, the article systematically and comprehensively investigates the problem of „a man and war”, „personality and national identity” in the texts by writers of the Ukrainian Diaspora of the 1940s-1980s. It is founds out why these issues have long been relevant in the literature of the Ukrainian Diaspora, which factors have influenced the development of historical, social and socio-psychological prose, and enhanced its documentary and biographical origin. Peculiarities of the reception of war in the Diaspora prose are analyzed through the prism of a witness, chronicler of the events. It is a study of war in different coordinates: historical, psychological, social, philosophical, existential. Also the article are comprehended the specificity of the Ukrainian-centric model of war in the literature by the Ukrainian Diaspora and ways of refuting a number of Soviet myths cultivated by many mainland writers and historians. The subject of the study were the big prose by the Ukrainian Diaspora, including Ivan Bagryany, Vitaly Bender, Dokia Humenna, Igor Kachurovsky, Oleksa Kobets, Igor Kostetsky, Oleksandr Lugovoi, Stepan Lyubomirsky, Ulas Samchuk etc., their critical literary practice and correspondence.

The article opposes the main thesis of W. Pikor who argues against the existence and crucial importance of the Israelite Diaspora in Assyria and against viewing it as an important factor seriously influencing the message of the prophet Ezekiel and his book. In the first part of the article its author scrutinizes the Ezechielian texts questioned by W. Pikor as direct or indirect arguments for the existence of the Assyrian Diaspora. In the second part the possible existence of the Assyrian Diaspora is examined, taking that the Book of Ezekiel bears witness to the Babylonian Diaspora of the Judean exiles, who in the first decades of the sixth century B.C. met the descendants of the Israelites exiled to Assyria at the end of the eight century B.C. The message of Ezekiel, as it may be known from his book, answers the questions and challenges which resulted from an unprecedented meeting of two different, but at the same time cognate groups, namely the Israelites and Judeans, preparing thus the ground for the idea of the renewed “new Israel”.

The article deals with the argument of W. Chrostowski about the Assyrian Israelite Diaspora as a factor influencing the book of Ezekiel. First, the author verifies the Ezekielian texts evoked by Chrostowski as arguments for his thesis (garden of Eden motif; “the 30th year” in Ezek 1:1; subjects participating in the dispute about the possession of the promised land in Ezek 11:14-17; allusion to Samaria in Ezek 23; the vision of dry bones in Ezek 37:1-14). The second part of the article examines the possibility of existence of the Assyrian Diaspora in the light of biblical and extra-biblical sources. The analysis of the situation of the Israelites deported to Assyria after the fall of Samaria in 722 B.C.E. (especially in the context of the population and religion politics of the Assyrian Empire) permits to exclude the existence of the Assyrian Israelite Diaspora and the claim that it could not only preserve, but also deepen and strengthen its identity. The third part of the article argues that the audience of Ezekiel does not derive from the descendants of the Israelites exiled to Assyria. Thus, the book of Ezekiel is the testimony written for those who experienced the Babylonian exile only.

Od powstania państwa Izrael w 1948 roku wszystko co wiązało się z diasporą (Golah) – kultura, język czy mentalność – uważane było za niegodne szacunku i Izraelczycy starali się trzymać od tego z daleka. Doktor Jacob (Kobi) Weitzner był pisarzem, dramaturgiem i reżyserem teatru żydowskiego. Artykuł nie omawia jego osiągnięć akademickich czy twórczości artystycznej, lecz przełomową działalność na rzecz zachowania kultury żydowskiej w diasporze.

Założeniem niniejszego artykułu jest wskazanie na zmianę paradygmatu migracji ludzi. Na przykładzie tzw. „klasycznych migracji” Chińczyków do Europy Zachodniej (Francja, Anglia, Niemcy i Holandia), można w ostatnich latach zauważyć nową charakterystykę chińskich ruchów migracyjnych. Choć cele migracji (głównie ekonomiczne) zasadniczo pozostają niezmienne, to wpływ nowoczesnych form komunikacji na jej dynamikę ma tu wielkie znaczenie. Skutkiem takiego stanu rzeczy jest fakt, iż przy nominalnie mniejszej emigracji Chińczyków do Europy mamy okazję poznać ich lepiej niż na początku XX wieku. Artykuł uświadamia czytelnikowi, iż imigranci z Państwa Środka pochodzą ze zróżnicowanych grup etnicznych, kultur i środowisk (diaspor). Natomiast na uwagę zasługuje fakt, że ich wspólnym mianownikiem są pielęgnowana tradycja lokalna i przekonania o charakterze filozoficzno-religijnym (konfucjanizm i taoizm), pomimo systematycznej indoktrynacji politycznej.

EN

The aim of the present article is to indicate a shift of the people’s migration paradigm. On the example of the so-called “traditional migrations” of the Chinese to Western Europe (France, England, Germany and the Netherlands), a new characteristics of Chinese migration flows could have been observed in recent years. Although the objectives of migration (mainly economic) essentially remain the same, the impact of modern forms of communication on its dynamics is of great importance here. The result of this is the fact that with the nominally smaller Chinese emigration to Europe, we have the opportunity to acquaint with the Chinese better than at the beginning of the twentieth century. The article reminds the reader that the immigrants from the Middle Kingdom come from diverse ethnic groups, cultures and environments (diasporas). In contrast, it is worth noting the fact that their common denominator is the cherished local tradition and beliefs that are philosophical and religious in nature (Confucianism and Taoism), in spite of systematic political indoctrination.

Das Ziel dieses Artikels ist eine Beschreibung des Paradigmenwechsels der menschlichen Migration. Am Beispiel der sog. „klassischen Migration” von Chinesen nach Westeuropa (Frankreich, England, Deutschland und Niederlande) ist es leicht eine neue Charakteristik der Migration zu bemerken. Obwohl sich die Ziele einer solchen ökonomischen Migration grundsätzlich nicht ändern, sind doch ihre Dynamik und eine neue Kommunikationsweise von großer Bedeutung. Als Folge dieses Status quo dient die Tatsache, dass wir, dank der geringeren Emigration der Chinesen nach Europa, sie besser kennen lernen können als je. Der Artikel macht dem Leser klar, dass die Immigranten aus dem Reich der Mitte im besonderen Maße verschiedenen Ethnien, Kulturen, Kreisen und Diasporas angehören. Als gemeinsam gelten: die von ihnen gepflegte und geschätzte eigene Kultur und die tiefen Überzeugungen, die immer einen religiösen Charakter haben, unabhängig von der Indoktrination.

In this article, selected contemporary historical articles with narratives about the Upper Silesian emigrants to Texas in the 19th century, the so-called Silesian Texans, are cited and discussed. The attributions of national categories with regard to identity, language, cultural and local origin are critically examined. The method used is comparative imagology according to the “Aachener Programm”. This is especially suitable for alike studies in transnational areas such as Upper Silesia and its oversea diaspora in Texas, USA. The cited sources of the last three decades are contrasted with the latest scholarly findings regarding research on the Silesian Texans, as well as the (Upper) Silesian language itself. This article can be seen as a survey of current sources on the phenomenon of the Silesian Texans, as well as a critical discussion of them. The study highlights historical errors and anachronisms in historical narratives in which the Silesian Texans’ region of origin is perceived as neither multicultural nor transnational according to its character as a borderland.

W niniejszym tekście przedstawiono i omówiono wybrane artykuły ze współczesnymi narracjami historycznymi na temat górnośląskich emigrantów do Teksasu w XIX wieku, tzw. śląskich Teksańczyków/Silesian Texans. Krytycznej analizie poddane zostały występujące w nich atrybucje kategorii narodowych w odniesieniu do tożsamości, języka, pochodzenia kulturowego i miejsca. Zastosowana metoda to imagologia porównawcza według „Aachener Programm/Programu z Akwizgranu”. Jest ona szczególnie przydatna do tego typu badań na obszarach transnarodowych, takich jak Górny Śląsk i jego zamorskie formy w Teksasie w USA. Przytoczone źródła z ostatnich trzech dekad są zestawione z najnowszymi wynikami badań nad śląskimi Teksańczykami, jak również nad językiem (górno) śląskim. Artykuł można traktować jako przegląd aktualnych źródeł na temat fenomenu śląskich Teksańczyków, jak również ich krytyczną dyskusję. Studium wskazuje na błędy historyczne i anachronizmy w narracjach historycznych, w których region pochodzenia śląskich Teksańczyków nie jest postrzegany zgodnie z jego charakterem jako region pogranicza, zatem ani jako region wielokulturowy, ani transnarodowy.

Dabei werden die darin vorkommenden Zuschreibungen von nationalen Kategorien hinsichtlich der Identität, Sprache, kulturellen und ortsgebundenen Herkunft kritisch hinterfragt. Die dabei verwendete Methode ist die komparatistische Imagologie nach dem „Aachener Programm“. Diese eignet sich in besonderer Weise für derartige Untersuchungen in transnationalen Gebieten wie Oberschlesien und ihren Überseeformen in Texas, USA. Die angeführten Quellen aus den letzten drei Jahrzehnten werden neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen hinsichtlich der Forschung zu den Silesian Texans wie auch der (ober)schlesischen Sprache gegenübergestellt. Der Artikel kann als Bestandaufnahme aktueller Quellen zum Phänomen der Silesian Texans wie auch als ihre kritische Besprechung verstanden werden. In der Untersuchung werden historische Fehler und Anachronismen in den Geschichtsnarrativen aufgezeigt, in denen die Herkunftsregion der Silesian Texans nicht ihrem Charakter als ein Grenzgebiet entsprechend, weder multikulturell noch transnational wahrgenommen wird.

This article is the second and last part of the longer essay, which was published in the present periodical. The situation of the Jews in Alexandria was specific. The Alexandrian Diaspora was the biggest in the ancient world in that time (it numbered more Jews than the whole number of them in Jerusalem). It had many privileges, while the Ptolemaic dynasty ruled in Egypt. Its situation changed radically after the Romans had started to reign in Egypt, which was visible in the first persecution of the Jews (38 A.C.) in Alexandria. The Book of Wisdom must have been written after the persecution in 38 A.C, i.e. in the time of young Christianity. This conviction is based on strong arguments: a philological analysis, Sitz im Leben of that book, notions, some parallels between Wis 19, 13–17 and Philo (word agreement, Leitmotiv in that excerpt in the light of the tradition, the question of the rights for the Alexandrian Jews).

PL

Niniejszy artykuł jest drugą i zarazem ostatnią częścią dłuższego eseju. Sytuacja Żydów w Aleksandrii była specyficzna. Diaspora aleksandryjska była największą w starożytności (liczyła więcej Żydów niż ich było w Jerozolimie). Za panowania Ptolemeuszy miała wiele przywilejów. Jej sytuacja zmieniła się diametralnie po tym, jak Rzymianie zaczęli rządzić Egiptem, co pokazało pierwsze prześladowanie Żydów w Aleksandrii (38 po Chrystusie). Księga Mądrości musiała zostać napisana bezpośrednio po prześladowaniach w 38 roku po Chrystusie, a więc już w czasach młodego chrześcijaństwa. Opiera się to na mocnych argumentach: analizie filologicznej, Sitz im Leben tej księgi, terminach, kilku paralelach pomiędzy Mdr 19, 13–17 a Filonem (zgodność słownictwa, Leitmotiv w tej perykopie w świetle tradycji, kwestia praw Żydów Aleksandryjskich).
