Cliometrics as a method is a part of the so-called New Economic History as well as the Global History. Cliometrics was created in the United States of America at the Purdue University. Stanley Reiter, Robert William Fogel, Douglass Cecil North, Lance Davis, Alfred Conrad, and John Meyer are amongst the most influential representatives of cliometrics. The following study examines cliometrics as a method of economic history and compares it to the traditional (European) method of historical research — the historical perspective method. As a part of the study, cliometrics is compared to other research perspectives of liberal arts or social sciences that are based on calculations and quantitative data. The study also discusses the criticism that describes cliometrics as a purely ahistorical research method and presents its own interpretation of the term “applied cliometrics,” as well as its meaning, its advantages, and the expandability of this method in the current economy history discourse.

The aim of this paper is to present an international and multidisciplinary project entitled Digitising Patterns of Power (later referred to as DPP), which is funded by the programme Digital Humanities: Langzeitprojekte zum kulturellen Erbe of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The project is hosted by the Institute for Medieval Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (its implementation period is 2015–2018). DPP is intended to compare four regions: the Carolingian Eastern Alps (8th–9th c.), the March / Morava–Thaya / Dyje Borderregion (7th–11th c.), the historical region of Macedonia (12th–14th c.), and historical Southern Armenia (5th–11th c.). The team concentrates on aspects such as: the depiction and analysis of space and location in medieval written sources, the interaction between developed and natural environment, the usage of space, and the emergence of new political, religious and economic structures of power. DPP is implemented within the framework of the programme Digital Humanities: Langzeitprojekte zum kulturellen Erbe of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. We are certain that the outcome of the project will render interesting results and insights, not only for the researchers focusing on the four aforesaid regions, but also for all those who seek new methods for investigating the past of our continen

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.

In diesem Artikel werden ausgewählte Beiträge mit gegenwärtigen Geschichtsnarrativen zu den oberschlesischen Auswanderern nach Texas im 19. Jahrhundert, den sog. Silesian Texans, vorgestellt und besprochen. 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.
