The French debate on memory has its roots mainly in the work of Maurice Halbwachs (Les cadres sociaux de la memoire, 1925,). Halbwachs’ basic theory is that memory does not exist in itself, but is always defined by what are known as “social frameworks”. The latter are not status elements of memory but are formed by the priorities of society. Another reason for the non-existence of memory “in itself” is the form of communication (speech). In this respect Halbswachs’ theory is confirmed by the analyses of Roland Barthes, in particular. Halbswachs’ ideas have inspired two main historical movements today, both of them related chiefly to what are known as commemorative festivals. Eric Hobsbawm is concerned above all with the problem ofthe conscious formation of social and historical memory through these acts, while Paul Connerton, a represent of historical research ofthis kind after the “linguistic” turning point, concentrates mainly on internal symbolism and the structure of the event. In Czech conditions the concept of the “second life”, with which the question of social and historical memory is very tightly connected, has been the focus of scholarly treatment since the 1970s, but under the influence ofthe current situation it has taken a different direction to this kind of research in France or (taking the French as model) in Germany.

The present paper deals with main issues concerning the historical work of Tony Judt (1948–2010) who devoted his entire life to the contemporary history. In the first stage of his scientific career it was the French left but later he studied issues from broader perspective, which culminated in a comprehensive book Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945. Throughout all his work he sought an update of history and did not even fear to comment current world politics (for example controversy to Israel). Judt was also interested in the profiles of intellectuals and phenomena such as crisis of the welfare state or the Holocaust.

Frank Ankersmit’s view of historical work, as outlined mainly in his Narrative Logic (1983), has received considerable attention from philosophers of history and historians. Ankersmit’s narrativism poses interesting questions and casts doubt on some traditional presuppositions of historiography. The most surprising and, for some authors, the most appalling is the claim that historical narrative - narratio - cannot have any truth-value. This article presents and analyzes three arguments for this claim, which may be found in his Narrative Logic. Moreover, it discusses Ankermist’s alternative criterion for the assessment of historical work. Finally, it presents a criticism of the view that narratio cannot have any truth-value, and identifies the mistaken assumption in Ankersmit’s argumentation.

Chápání historické práce podle Franka Ankersmita, tak jak je předvedeno především v jeho Narativní logice (1983), si získalo značnou pozornost mezi filosofy dějin a historiky. Ankersmitův narativismus klade zajímavé otázky a vnáší pochyby vůči tradičním předpokladům historiografie. Nejpřekvapivější, a pro některé autory nejotřesivější, je tvrzení, že historický narativ - narratio - nemůže mít žádnou pravdivostní hodnotu. Tento článek ukazuje a rozebírá tři argumenty pro toto tvrzení, které v Narativní logice najdeme. Navíc rozebírá Ankermistova alternativní kritéria posouzení historické práce. Na závěr kritizuje náhled, že by narratio nemohlo mít pravdivostní hodnotu, a nachází chyby v předpokladech Ankersmitovy argumentace.

The aim of this article is to present the results of the most recent German, i.e. German-language, research on the theme of Early Modern Period exile and migration, in which emphasis is placed on the Bohemian post-White Mountain exile. Specialist literature on the theme of the Bohemian post-White Mountain exile is discussed at the beginning of the study, with a short excursus on the concept itself of "exile", in which a concise overview of the state of research is submitted with the aim of drawing attention chiefl y to various instrumentalisations of this concept, as well as to the "success" of the whole research paradigm. Three dissertations have appeared very recently, devoting themselves in particular to the issue of Early Modern exile. A number of papers have also been published in specialist journals and conference proceedings. The study presents in addition the results and tendencies of research which deal on a more general level with themes of Early Modern Period denominational migration and religiously motivated exile. In recent years, research into the Early Modern Period has brought not only new approaches, concepts and methods, but also thematic expansion and several discussions devoted to terminology.

The specific nature of Late Antique Church histories in comparison with Greco-Roman historiography is understood as both the outcome of the difference in the narrative’s subject and the particular method of its performance. Apparently, the Church historians’ growing interest in the traditional theme of wars seems to account for this approaching to the “classical” patterns and the blurring of the genre’s specific character. The author argues that this “assimilation” phenomenon was essentially the consequence of the proximity of the main subject of the narration, the history of the Church represented as a story of conflict, while – as the present analysis of some relevant sections from the work of the Church historian Socrates has demonstrated – the narrative of the history of wars would rather play the role of a digression in this narration and the “Divine” commentary on the events being depicted, thus hindering rather than facilitating the assimilating of the “Church History” to the norms determined by the so-called Zeitgeschichten.

Current historical debates about class formation and collective identities in the modern societies point out the importance of the analytical category of class. Th e essay reconstructs various approaches to the category of class in the modern historical writing - based on diff erentiation and polarizing social structures ( J. Kocka), class experience and class consciousness (E. P. Th ompson), class discourse (G. Stedman Jones), „imaginary institution of society“ (P. Joyce). Upon these approaches, we employ diff erent ways of historical explaining of the class formation to appreciate the issue of making and diff erentiation of normative patterns, allowing agents to identify suff ering as a social phenomenon and opening new struggles for recognition.

Současné historické debaty o formování tříd a kolektivních identit v moderních společnostech poukazují k důležitosti analytické kategorie třídy. Esej představuje různé přístupy ke kategorii třídy v moderním historiografii - založené na rozrůznění a polarizaci společenských struktur (J. Kocka), třídní zkušenosti a povědomí (E. P. Thompson), třídním diskursu (G. Stedman Jones), „imaginární instituci společnosti“ (P. Joyce). Na těchto přístupech ukážeme různé cesty historického vysvětlení vzniku tříd, abychom ocenili vytváření a diferenciaci normativních vzorců, které umožnily aktérům určit utrpení jako sociální fenomén a otevřely nové boje za uznání.

Badania historyków nad wyobrażeniami i sądami różnych grup i wspólnot (w tym narodowych) na temat ich przeszłości w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach dynamicznie się rozwinęły. Centralne miejsce zajmują w nich kwestie związane z pamięcią, przekazem doświadczenia młodszym generacjom czy odgórnego modelowania pamięcią zbiorową. Inspiracją – podobnie jak w przypadku socjologów czy kulturoznawców – były prace Maurice’a Halbwachsa i Pierre’a Nory. Rozwój tych badań wiązał się z kryzysem tradycyjnej historiografii i wpływem ogólnych przemian w naukach humanistycznych. Zainteresowania te łączyły się z analizami ruchów narodowych i klasowych, w których tworzenie i upowszechnianie tożsamości grupowej odgrywało naczelną rolę. Istotny jest także kontekst społeczny funkcjonowania historiografii, który uwypukla dysonans między rzekomo obiektywną, pozbawioną emocji historią naukowców a „historią przeżywaną/żywą” reszty społeczeństwa. Nierzadko historia jako nauka oraz pamięć historyczna (zbiorowa) postrzegane są wręcz jako konkurenci. Zauważalny wpływ otoczenia społecznego i politycznego na kształt pamięci o przeszłości wiedzie do realizowania różnych polityk historycznych (polityk pamięci), w czym udział bierze także państwo. Stosunek historyków do tych działań jest zróżnicowany. Podkreślane są obawy związane z upowszechnianiem zmitologizowanych wizji przeszłości narodowej, które byłyby sprzeczne ze stanem badań (historią). Z drugiej strony wielu historyków uważa za właściwe współdziałanie w umacnianiu narodowej wspólnoty poprzez edukację historyczną i określone praktyki upamiętniania. Pozyskiwania i zabezpieczania świadectw autobiograficznych jest ważnym obszarem działania współczesnych historyków.

Jaroslav Pánek belongs, without any doubt, amongs the most important Czech historians at the turn of the 21st century in the context of the entire historical community. Yet, his relevance to the development of Early Modern Age research can be seen as fundamentally crucial, impacting on the entire discipline community long-term both methodically and thematically. His monumental publication output relates to conceptual, theoretical-methodological and factographical issues.

he purpose of this article is to express, expand and sharpen views concerning history, historiography, historical evaluation and reliability, and the main literary nature of the book of Chronicles as a whole in its own historical context. These are vital issues that have direct implications for understanding the book, its content, its purpose, and credibility as a source for the history of Israel in the monarchic period, and for the development of Judaism in the Second Temple era. In order to accomplish this task, some common features of the Chronicler’s writing and the related ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman historical writings are provided. Furthermore, the presumed Chronicler’s lines of thought and his evaluations of sources are scrutinized and exemplified, and the historical trustworthiness of some details, which appear only in Chronicles, is examined in order to demonstrate that the book contains some potential reliable data.

The article shows the evolution of historians’ and sociologists’ views in 1874-2010 period how the historical relations between science and religion should be presented. The key theories have been discussed which are the milestones in this evolution: from 19th century Draper’s and White’s works which formed the so called conflict thesis to the present complexity thesis, which recognizes the religion as significant co-originator of modern science.

This review article presents the reign of George of Poděbrady, King of Bohemia, from a Silesian perspective, therefore contrary to dominant Bohemocentric option. The author also opposes the historiographic myths created by the Czech researchers, in which George of Poděbrady is nearly adored, without any deeper attempts of critical assessment of his reign. After all, its outcome was tragic and the blame must be put not only on Wrocław, which was the core of the opposition to his rule. The king himself failed to avoid several mistakes – he probably lacked the political horizons of his predecessors from the Luxembourg dynasty of the Bohemian throne.

Zainichi Koreans have been attracting and recently attract more and more attention from the scientists and journalists. This tendency is welcoming, because Zainichi Koreans, as a socio-political phenomenon, have to be investigated and presented not only to the fellow researchers, but to the mass audience as well. Nevertheless, the constantly growing amount of literature still has not been analyzed in historiographical manner. The lack of such works makes it quite difficult for other researchers to start working on Zainichi Koreans’ issues. Social scientists usually do not conduct their own separate historiographical research; therefore, the understanding of a particular issue is a matter of one’s own efforts. Researches on Zainichi Koreans have been conducted since the early sixties and ever since then there have been changes in mainstream theories, approaches or methodologies. In order not to repeat the mistakes of other researchers, or conduct what has already been done, it is crucial for the scientists to be aware of the previous progress. In this paper I provide the review of the present historiography on Zainichi Koreans, including publications since 1962 till 2009. It is important to mention, that this review does not contain all possible positions of Zainichi historiography - only a certain part of them was taken to present the tendencies throughout the aforementioned period of time.

Zainiči korėjiečiai pastaruoju metu sulaukia vis daugiau dėmesio tiek iš žiniasklaidos, tiek iš mokslininkų pusės. Dėl tos priežasties tyrimų bei publikacijų kiekis, skirtas šiai temai, nuolatos auga. Iš vienos pusės, tai yra itin naudinga, nes toks įdomus darinys kaip Zainiči korėjiečiai turi būti ištirtas ir pristatytas ne tik mokslo bendruomenei, bet ir plačiajai visuomenei. Iš kitos pusės, esamas ir vis augantis literatūros kiekis dar nesulaukė jokio žymesnio istoriografi nio tyrimo. Zainiči korėjiečiai, kurių atsiradimą 1952 m. lėmė sociopolitinės aplinkybės, pradėti nagrinėti jau pačioje septinto dešimtmečio pradžioje. Nuo to laiko tyrimų temos, aspektai bei prieigos keitėsi kartu su besikeičiančiomis tyrinėjimų tendencijomis, vyraujančiomis teorijomis. Norint pradėti šiuo metu tyrinėti Zainiči korėjiečius nuo pradžių bet kokiu aspektu, būtina žinoti, kas jau buvo padaryta, kokie veikalai yra patikimi ar klasikiniai, o į kuriuos autoriui reikia žvelgti kritiškai. Tyrėjams neistorikams, o socialinių mokslų atstovams, gali būti sudėtinga atlikti istoriografi nes apžvalgas, dėl to istoriografi nės analizės yra būtinos, kad būtų galima lengviau susigaudyti esamoje tyrimų stadijoje ir nebūtų bandoma dar kartą „išrasti dviračio“. Šis straipnis pateikia Zainiči istoriografijos apžvalgą, analizuojant esamą (tačiau toli gražu ne visą) istoriografinę medžiagą, pateikiant esamas tyrimų tendencijas, buvusius tyrimus, jų stipriąsias bei silpnąsias puses.

The science of history, not only in Poland, faces serious dilemmas at the beginning of the 21st century, there being no indications that, similarly to its past status especially in the 19th century, it can aspire to the role of one of the major factors of social consciousness. Following the liberation (by far inconsistent and often mistrusted) of history as a science from rendering undue services of a non-pertinent nature it experienced and still does, erosive influences exerted by numerous theoretical trends and currents that put into question the validity and genuineness of the scientific character of history. Enormous progress in the field of heuristics and research organization (the latter disputable at times) does not always yield the expected fruits. The essay focuses on the “external” conditions and manifestations of the science of history in Poland, both of a positive and negative nature, only briefly touching upon some current research proposals. Then, on the example of medieval studies the author presents the current problems and achievements of this science, to show among others that many of the postulates and expectations of contemporary methodology and theory of history are actually realized in medieval studies. The concluding part brings reflections of a more general nature on the issue of contemporary place and tasks of the science of history.

Despite Przemyśl rich and varied history, the city is virtually unknown to the English speaking academic world. This article reviews the extant English language scholarship on the city and recommends potential areas of interest for British, American, and other non-local academics. Currently, most English literature on the city is focused on the World War I era siege, the construction and technical details of the city’s fortress ring, and the Jewish community. I argue that the city has much to offer students of architecture, ethnic studies, urban and religious history.

The study is concerned with the question ofliterary historical representations in fiction around 1900 and towards the end of the 20th century. It compares the nature and form of the gnoseological scepticism about the possibilities and meaning ofhistorical knowledge articulated by writers in both these periods. On the basis of a number of texts from Czech, French and British literature the author shows that the genre known as “historical metafiction”, which is one medium for the expression of such scepticism, is notjust a product ofthe later 20th century as might appear from the studies by Linda Hutcheon or Ansgar Niinning. Similar reflective texts had been written at the turn ofthe 19th/20th century, when in the context of the deepening crisis of historicism, writers had expressed a gnoseological scepticism similar to that of contemporary writers influenced by postmodernism. The writers in the early period employed rather different literary strategies, however, and their transformation can be defined as a shift from assertion to performance.

Modern theoreticians of Global History differ in opinion as to the definition of Globalization and up till now there is no single definition, which would satisfy most scientists. Some of them believe this phenomenon to be irreal because it is impossible to clearly separate it from other social processes and phenomena or because it do not has clearly defined place in the geographical space. In most cases Globalization are understood as: We are living today in an age of rapid globalization. Its pace has accelerated in the past several decades, particularly since the end of the Cold War. The main thrust for globalization involved a high degree of Westernization, it by no means resulted in homogenization but everywhere produced diverse responses to the West rooted in indigenous cultures. In fact, we have witnessed homogeneity resulting from processes of globalization and at the some time increasing heterogeneity. Globalization thus is extremely complex and variegated, on the one hand indeed leading to high degrees of homogeneity in economic organization, technological and scientific developments and even lifestyles following Western patterns, on the other hand to marked divergences from Western outlooks and practices and even to pronounced resistance to Western influences. In this article we intend to examine the transformation of historical thinking and writing within this larger global context. Globalization is realized in the form of bilateral, multilateral and collective relation. Global System is usually understood as hierarchically structurized integral complex of actors of international relation, which are interconnected by constant relations. Until the early 21th century the investigation of Global History was performed within a whole number of social science: philosophy, history, sociology, legal and economic sciences. The theory of globalization is a science, which tries to logically and reasonably interpret the most essential phenomena and processes as well as interrelation between them using its own methods. Conflict and cooperation are the most important manifestation of the state of international relations and logically proceed from structural peculiarities of current global system.
