In my article I draw attention to the earthen construction technologies in the area of the Great Hungarian Plain, for which the Slovak literature has name the Lower Land. In this geographic area has been profiled dominant model of lifestyle, known as the Pannonian cultural zone. In the processes of colonization of the Great Hungarian Plain, the clay was applied as the most affordable building material. According to the statistical surveys 80 to 90 % of the houses had earthen walls in all regions of this geographical area. For almost all Slovak colonists, as for the many more, the earthen construction technologies have not been a part of their cultural outfit that would have brought here from their home countries. Between the mid-18th to mid-20th century earthen construction technology took a dominant position to such an extent that in the area of resettled Great Hungarian Plain it became one of determining sign of the Pannonian – or Lower Land – type of house.

During the period of over 50 years of its history (1867–1918), the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy played a significant role in power politics in the world and primarily in Europe. Considering its geographical features, i.e. its size and population figures, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was viewed as one of the world great powers. This function came to an end abruptly when the Empire dissolved in 1918. Central European and Hungarian historians have for long been arguing about the reasons and causes of the dissolution of the Monarchy. This paper aims to contribute to this academic dispute by throwing light on several specific historical-geographical and political-geographical aspects of the event. This paper investigates the above issue from three different points of view. On the one hand, it examines how the Empire in a geographical sense shifted to the East. On the other hand, it offers an insight into the ethnic and cultural diversity of the Monarchy. Finally, the paper aims to analyze the Monarchy’s failed attempt at colonization.

Around 5500 BC the first wave of the LBK culture societies came to the area of black soils in Kujavia. What is interesting is that materials of this culture are also registered in conditions untypical of this culture, where geological substrate is formed by sand, and farming usability of soils was, and still is, not great. This paper aims at summarizing the present state of research and outlining present-day opportunities of interpretation. This work is also part of a broader scientific programme connected with recognition of the history of the Neolithic occupation in the valley of Tążyna river — one of the Vistula tributaries

For many years, the West had served as a point of reference for the artistic creation of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Although the arrival of the avant-garde brought the hope for overcoming the long-time cultural “colonization” of the region, the post-war totalitarianism impeded the process. Following European artistic achievements was an indication of its belonging to Europe in the field of arts. The manifesto of the Hungarian European School or the activity of Czech art historian, Vincenc Kramář may serve as an example of this post-colonial discourse. The analysis of the activity of Warsaw Foksal Gallery and Yugoslav artistic milieu proves that the change in this relation required and still requires a re-evaluation of a well-established, modernist way of thinking and perception of reality inside and outside Central and Eastern Europe.

The present paper is devoted to a small community of Polish descent settled in Chapadão, located in the State of Santa Catarina, in the south of Brazil. The area of research involved personal encounters, talks and interviews conducted in Chapadão from 2008 to 2010. Additionally, surveys were carried out via electronic mailings with residents of that area. The surveys inquired about the history of Brazil, the Polish immigration scattered throughout the country and the specific problems of the contemporary Brazilian society. The main part of the study focuses on issues currently dealt with by the people of Polish origin settled at this specific part of the Brazilian inland. The specific issues raised in this section comprise: the history of the community as it is held in its collective memory, the maintenance of ancestral traditions (folk style of clothes, music and cooking, religious rites, etc.), the community’s economic expansion (based on some statistical data, as well) and some peculiar traits of the Polish language spoken in Chapadão. The study accounts for how such small and seemingly forgotten Polish communities, living in peripheral areas, succeed in preserving spiritual links with their country of origin, even in the era of the world’s becoming a global village.

Comparing Prussian settlement policies and the founding of “Rentengüter” by inner colonization around 1900 with the East-Central European land reforms of the interwar period initially exposes very diverse motivational structures behind both cases, which thus resulted in interactions for social, economic and political reasons with demographic and nationalist aims. In both cases, the perception of a social crisis endangering the system’s stability and the proclamation of “national interests” by the reforms’ protagonists played – albeit in diff erent ways – a crucial role in overcoming the resistance of the landowners as well as the restraint of the economic and educational elites against such a massive intervention in property rights. Th erefore, we could assume that – in addition to the unstable situation of the post-war period – long past experiences with settlement projects and/or the perception of such projects have had an infl uence on the design and implementation of land reforms. Even before the First World War, the Prussian-German inner colonization was not the only attempt to strengthen the rural middle class by parcelling large estates in Central Europe. However, it was a relatively early, relatively systematic and – from a socio-political and agricultural point of view – even relatively successful attempt. One could say that the opposing forces (Prussia/Germany and Poland) learned and copied from one another – a pattern well known from research on nationalism. But the German inner colonization had an important role model outside the German-Polish nationality struggle, too. Additional historical research about the details of this cultural transfer is certainly needed. Just for the explanation of the diff erent conceptions of East Central European land reforms, it would be important to learn more about the resonance of the Prussian settlement policy, of the debates on grain selfsufficiency or of the discussion about Germany as an agricultural or industrial state in diff erent parts of the Habsburg monarchy. Th is is especially true for the theorists and practitioners of the land reform movement in the Habsburg monarchy successor states. The adoption of these concepts certainly did not advance by only reading newspapers and books. German universities were important places of study, research facilities for national-economists and the political sciences, there were international agricultural conferences and cooperative associations. Th erefore, a transnational history of land reforms as a central element of the agrarianist ideology and politics is an important task for further historiographical research.

The paper deals with the issue of cultural landscape research with emp‑hasis on the changes caused by the colonization by Slovak and other ethnic groups.Some parts are focused on defining the methodology of cultural landscape research(multi-temporal analysis of cultural-landscape layers) and its subsequent applicationin the studied area-the example of Vojlovica village, which is now part of the townof Pančevo in Serbia. The paper also deals with the issue of cultural geography andthe retrospective influence of Slovak ethnicity on the landscape. Traditional materialand spiritual culture is a reflection of human action in the country and the result ofthe relationship triangle: landscape-culture-history.

Through the processes of migration and colonization, historical determinism in Macedonia had a significant impact on the role and development of the Macedonian folk language. As the status of the Macedonian language was changing, the phenomenon of linguistic dualism appeared within it, which developed in specific and various ways in Aegean, Vardar and Pirin Macedonia.

The purpose of the text is to look at one of the missions inscribed in the frame of modernity, that is, the design of the Earth as a whole, and thus perceiving it in terms of the globe and the planet. The essay describes three projects of the Earth treated as a globe, an Earth Spaceship, and an integrated Earth System Science creating a cyborg’s vision of the planet. Although they differ from each other in their historical, political and scientific background, these examples form a connected network of the Earth project in which the colonialism and imperialism of the first explorers are continued in the globalist-capitalist concepts of defining the planet as a sphere open to possible modifications implemented since the second half of the 20th century and transformations significantly affecting the functioning of the entire ecosystem.

In this autoethnographic writing, we explore the concepts of longing and belonging through a collaborative writing process that is fictional at times and autoethnographic at times. We present an experimental and arts-based approach to analyzing and understanding memories, and themes of nostalgia, belongingness, and longing in the present day. Through our autoethnographic fiction (Bochner and Ellis 2016; Ellis 2004) we explore questions such as: what is it like to long and belong, what is it like to long for a future that is embedded in the past, what is it like to futurize/co-futurize memories, and what if the past is the pre-present? As immigrants to Toronto, coming from nations that were once colonized, and still remain in the peripheries of colonization, we ponder about our bodies occupying the third space that we are living in, the feelings of nostalgia and belonging in our fiction. We write about our belongingness to our roots and the trajectories of our beings and think what decolonizing the the concept of memories might evoke. Methodologically, we draw from Erin Manning’s (2016) idea of going against method to propose a collaborative autoethnographic fiction writing and collaging practice that implicates our memories and bodies with our surroundings and other bodies, human, beyond human, and material, as instruments of research. We suggest that the decolonization and dehistoricization of memories and our conceptions of longing, belonging, and creating futures embedded in the past can happen by futurizing our notions of memories. We hope that writing a fiction in conversation with one another and in synchronicity of each other’s experiences will allow us to deconstruct and problematize our understanding of memories, the frictions between avant-garde and nostalgia and interspersing the collaging practice will allow us to build our stories and explore belongingness and nostalgia, longing for something indefinite and unwanted memories.

Tests have influence on the phenomenon of stratification and selection of students, their lifestyle and way of thinking. Without a doubt, they have their hidden curriculum. At the micro level tests shape the identity of the individual. They are a factor of socialization. On the other hand, at the macro level tests are the significant instrument of educational policy governments. In my article I analyse the second problem – in the context of international developments PISA tests, which are an instrument of neo-liberal policies of national governments, as well as the OECD. The tests are part of the abandonment of the idea of "equality in education" for the system market and competitiveness, in which education ceases to be a "public good" and becomes a "personal good." The essence of the hidden curriculum PISA test is the pursuit of homogenization student population living in culturally different countries as well as the shaping the attitudes of rivalry.

The article analyzes the Polish–German relations described by Bolesław Prus in Kroniki (Chronicles). It raises questions about how the author’s personal beliefs determine the construction of his novel characters. The author has avoided the coloured chauvinism of complaints about the increasing number of German colonists coming to the cities and provinces. Prus was aware of threats, but also saw the advantages and strengths of German organizations. Observations of neighbours and international relations were used by Prus mainly for comparisons. Prus’s chronicles and letters are a testimony to the sinusoidal variation of the author’s moods: from intoxication with greatness and modernity to emotional depression.

This paper seeks to answer whether it is right to refer to the concepts of colonialism and colonization when interpreting the history of the Republic of Poland. Drawing on the so-called post-colonial discourse in Poland, the author puts forward the problem of methodological nature. The point is that the basic concepts in this discourse are not well-defined and yet, despite this drawback, they are used as analytical categories in the reinterpretation of the history of Poland. This fact, as the author notes, deprives the post-colonial discourse of its being reliable and scientifically valuable. Addressing the problem posed by the initiator of the discourse under consideration, the author analyses first the concept of colony, colonization, and colonialism, and then examines whether it is justified to apply them in relation to the Republic of Poland. In the course of her analysis, she focuses also on the problem of the colonization of Poland by her three invaders: Russia, Prussia, and Austria. It follows from the analysis the, firstly, the concept of colonialism has no application in the interpretation of the past of Poland and its usage is a categorical abuse; the concept of colonization is used within certain limits and does not concern the state’s activity, but the migration of settlers and attitudes adopted by some citizens in some periods of the Republic of Poland and her history; the concept of colonization, however, can be applied to the interpretation of politics of all three invaders towards the Polish Republic and all her resources.

W niniejszym opracowaniu zestawiono kilka najważniejszych wniosków z badań struktury osadniczej, powiązań ośrodków subregionalnych i spójności społeczno-gospodarczej Mazowsza, zrealizowanych w ramach projektu „Trendy rozwojowe Mazowsza”. W kontekście rozwoju policentrycznego Mazowsza struktura rozmieszczenia osadnictwa jest korzystna. Centralne funkcje w regionie pełni Warszawa, wokół której zlokalizowanych jest pięć ośrodków subregionalnych (Radom, Płock, Ostrołęka, Ciechanów, Siedlce) o różnym potencjale rozwojowym. Radom i Płock można uznać za ośrodki duże, o silnym własnym potencjale. W ostatnich dwóch dekadach obserwowano w nich regres demograficzny, wynikający z odpływu ludności na tereny podmiejskie lub do innych miast (głównie Warszawy) oraz spadku przyrostu naturalnego. W przypadku Radomia potencjał rozwojowy nie jest wykorzystywany; restrukturyzacja przemysłu i likwidacja miejsc pracy spowodowały wzrost bezrobocia, stagnację gospodarczą miasta i odpływ migracyjny. Ostrołęka i Ciechanów są słabo wykształconymi ośrodkami subregionalnymi; ich potencjał rozwojowy można porównywać z niektórymi miastami powiatowymi w warszawskiej strefie metropolitalnej. Utrata pozycji województwa spowodowała ubytek niektórych funkcji i stagnację gospodarczą. Pogłębia ją peryferyjna lokalizacja w stosunku do Warszawy i innych dużych miast oraz brak ważnych szlaków komunikacyjnych. Nieco korzystniej przedstawia się sytuacja Siedlec, dobrze skomunikowanych z Warszawą i mających stosunkowo szeroką strefę oddziaływania. Średniej wielkości ośrodki powiatowe i mniejsze miasta tworzą w miarę równomiernie rozmieszczoną sieć. Taki rozkład przestrzenny sprzyjać może stopniowemu rozwojowi tych miast, dzięki wypełnianiu szeregu lokalnych funkcji (administracja, handel, usługi, szkolnictwo podstawowe i średnie, służba zdrowia, kultura, itd.), a w przypadku miast na północy regionu również funkcji ponadlokalnych (uzupełniających braki „słabych” ośrodków subregionalnych). Miasta powiatowe zyskały nowe funkcje dzięki reformie systemu administracji. Jednakże ich rozwój w latach 1995-2010 był wyraźnie zróżnicowany i w dużym stopniu zależał od lokalizacji względem Warszawy. Rozwój notowały przede wszystkim miasta w strefie metropolitalnej; natomiast te położone bardziej peryferyjnie rozwijały się wolniej. Rozwój systemu osadnictwa Mazowsza w perspektywie 2030 roku zależy od czynników zewnętrznych (często niezależnych) i czynników wewnętrznych. Wśród tych pierwszych są: globalna sytuacja gospodarcza, polityka UE i państwa, rozwój dużych aglomeracji i regionów sąsiedzkich. Natomiast do drugich należą: założenia strategii rozwoju, aktywność inwestycyjna przedsiębiorstw i mieszkańców, ruchy migracyjne, itd. Trudno przewidzieć, które czynniki odegrają w nadchodzących latach najważniejszą rolę i jaka będzie światowa sytuacja ekonomiczna. Dlatego w rozważaniach na temat przyszłości systemu osadniczego Mazowsza zaproponowano trzy podstawowe scenariusze: najbardziej prawdopodobny, optymistyczny i pesymistyczny

This paper summarizes some key conclusions from the study of the settlement structure, linkages between subregional centers and economic and social cohesion Mazovia. In the context of a polycentric development of Mazovia structure arrangement is favorable settlement. The central functions of the region is located in Warsaw, around which are located five sub-regional centers (Radom, Plock, Ostrołęka, Ciechanów, Siedlce) with different growth potential. Radom and Plock centers can be considered as large with strong self-potential. In the last two decades, they were observed in demographic decline due to the outflow of population to suburban areas or to other cities (mostly in Warsaw), and declining birth rates. In the case of Radom, the growth potential is not utilized, industrial restructuring and job losses led to an increase in unemployment, economic stagnation of the city and the migration outflow. Ciechanów and Ostrołęka are poorly educated sub-centers, and their development potential can be compared with some cities in the Warsaw metropolitan area. Loss of position of voivodeship’s capital resulted in loss of position, loss of some functions and economic stagnation. It deepens the peripheral location in relation to Warsaw and other major cities and lack of important routes. A little more preferably is the situation of Siedlce, which is well connected with Warsaw and have a relatively broader zone of influence. A medium-sized district centers and smaller towns formed as uniformly distributed network. This spatial distribution may contribute to the gradual development of these cities by completing a number of local functions (administration, trade, services, primary and secondary education, health, culture, etc.), and for cities in the north region of the supra-function (complementary deficiencies of "weak" sub-regional centers). District of the city gained new functions through the reform of administrative system. However, their development in the years 1995-2010 was clearly differentiated and largely depend on the relative location to Warsaw. The development of the city were recorded primarily in the metropolitan area, while those located more peripherally grew slower. Development of Mazovia settlement system in 2030 is dependent on external factors (often independent) and internal factors. Among the former are: the global economic situation and the EU policy, the development of large cities and neighboring regions, while the others are: the strategy development, investment activity of enterprises and residents, migratory movements, etc. It is difficult to predict which factors will play in the coming years most important role, and what will the global economic situation. Therefore, the discussion on the future of the settlement system of Mazovia proposed three basic scenarios: realistic, optimistic and pessimistic.

Postindustrial societies undertake forms of colonization, which derive from specificity of agriculturally-based societies. Industrial revolution had equipped human kind in tools that are being applied in order to conquest the natural world. In contemporary humanistic discourse one can observe stronger and stronger stream of discussing issues related to human domination andexploitation of the nature. All of protets against those procedures aim at empowering naturalsurroundings of human kind in order to limit colonization process. While looking at colonizationin socio-cultural aspects and environmental aspects, one may notice many similarities. Is itpossible to name meta-strategies used in colonization processes?

Społeczeństwa postindustrialne realizują formy kolonizacji, które sięgają społeczności tradycyjnych. Rewolucja przemysłowa wyposażyła cywilizację Zachodu w narzędzia, pozwalające kolonizować w wymiarze kulturowym, i wymiarze podporządkowywania przyrody. Proceder ten jest dzisiaj mocno zaawansowany – na szczęście jednak budzić zaczyna opór, ze strony aktywistów proekologicznych, których działania zmierzają do uznania zwierzęcia jako pełnoprawnego podmiotu. Strategie oporu wobec kolonizowania przyrody są realizowane w postaci różnego rodzaju ruchów. Wszystkie one zmierzają do uprawomocnienia postrzegania przyrody, w tym zwierząt jako pełnoprawnych podmiotów korzystających z zasobów Ziemi, co do których człowiek uzurpuje sobie prawo nieograniczonej eksploatacji. Czy można mówić o meta-strategiach, które były i są wykorzystywane do kolonizowania?

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie historii powstania i ewolucji miejskiej sieci osadniczej Brazylii w okresie jej zależności kolonialnej od Portugalii. Określono również zmiany tempa zakładania miast oraz różnice w ich przestrzennym rozmieszczeniu, starając sie powiązać te zagadnienia z przemianami gospodarczymi i politycznymi zachodzącymi w Brazylii wraz z postępująca kolonizacja. Podjęto także próbę określenia i uwzględnienia w analizie wpływu uwarunkowań międzynarodowych na rozwój i zróżnicowanie przestrzenne brazylijskiej sieci miejskiej. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, ze w trwającym ponad 300 lat okresie kolonialnym ukształtowały sie podwaliny miejskiej sieci osadniczej Brazylii, na która składało sie 12 miast oraz ponad 200 miasteczek. Większość z powstałych wówczas ośrodków do dziś odgrywa ważną rolę w systemie osadniczym. Przeprowadzone badania wskazują, ze rozwój sieci brazylijskich miast nawiązywał do modelu merkantylnego Vance’a, ale także teorii rozwoju ośrodków w układzie typu system – sieci Network system) oraz koncepcji miast bram (gateway cities).

The aim of this article is to present the history of the origin and evolution of the urban settlement network in Brazil during its colonial dependency on Portugal. The change in the pace of the establishment of cities and the differences in their spatial distribution were also determined, and an attempt was made to link these issues to the economic and political changes taking place in Brazil, including the progressing colonization. An attempt was also made to identify and take into account, in the analysis, the impact of international conditions for the development and spatial differentiation of the Brazilian urban network. The results indicate that in the over three-hundred-year colonial period the foundations of the urban settlement in Brazil were formed, which consisted of 12 cities and over 200 towns. Most of the centers formed at that time have continued to play an important role in the settlement system until today. The undertaken studies indicate that the development of the network of Brazilian cities referred to Vance’s mercantile model, but also to the network system theory of cities development and to the concept of gateway cities.

The beginning of the 19th century was a period of intense political, economic and socio-cultural changes in Brazil, arising to a new mentality of development of the Colony, put in place after the arrival of the Royal Portuguese family. With this new perspective, the Captaincy of Espírito Santo emerged on the national scene and, in 1813, the Agricultural Colony of Viana was founded, in which Portuguese immigrants from the Azores Islands were settled. Azorean families, in addition to seeking economic and social success, also brought in their cultural baggage the Holy Spirit Feast. The debate in question aims at describing and analyzing the settlement process in which the Azoreans through took part in the city of Viana-ES. Unlike what happens in other parts of Brazil (especially in the South), the production of research and academic papers on the subject is still limited and quite recent. However, little by little, the Azoreans are included in the configuration of the Espírito Santo identity mosaic. The theoretical-methodological framework of this article is based on the critical review of bibliographical sources about the Azoreans, in the context of Espírito Santo.

O início do século XIX foi um período de intensas mudanças políticas, econômicas e socioculturais no Brasil, decorrentes de uma nova mentalidade de desenvolvimento da Colônia, posta em curso após a chegada da família Real Portuguesa. Com essa nova perspectiva, a Capitania do Espírito Santo despontou no cenário nacional e, em 1813, foi fundada a Colônia Agrícola de Viana, na qual foram fixados imigrantes portugueses naturais das Ilhas dos Açores. As famílias açorianas, além de buscarem sucesso econômico e social, também trouxeram em suas bagagens culturais a Festa do Divino Espírito Santo. O debate, em questão, objetiva a descrição e a análise do processo de povoamento do qual participaram os açorianos estabelecidos na cidade de Viana-ES. Diferente do que ocorre em outras localidades do Brasil (especialmente na Região Sul), a produção de pesquisas e de trabalhos acadêmicos sobre o assunto ainda é restrita e bastante recente. Contudo, pouco a pouco, os açorianos têm sido incluídos na configuração do mosaico identitário capixaba. O marco teórico-metodológico deste artigo está fundamentado na revisão crítica de fontes bibliográficas sobre os açorianos, no contexto do Espírito Santo.
