The text aims to introduce urban ethnomusicology, an important direction in the contemporary anthropologically-oriented research into music. This direction is first set into the context of another ethnomusicological research. After a short look into the history of urban ethnomusicology, significant theoretical conceptions, used in or usable for the research into town music, are described. These include especially the conception of soundscape (Schafer and Shelemay), the connective structure with its two dimensions – the social and the time one (Assmann) and the conception of collective memory (Halbwachs, Kansteiner). The last section of the text introduces how the above conceptions have been applied on Prague music material. The categorization partially inspired by the Appadurai´s –scapes is used for the social dimension of connective structure. Two lines are obvious in the time dimension (to which, in this case, music and remembering relate): the first line includes music as an object of remembering, the other one is its medium. The text is pervaded by the empirically confirmed awareness of fluidity of all borders, which is especially obvious in the today’s big city.

Personal stories and testimonies of survivors of Nazi concentration camps contributed to the construction of the Holocaust and Nazi genocide as a shared European realm of memory. A variety of individual memories of a certain event contribute to the creation of its collective representation which is then accessible for a wider range of people. This article deals with social dimensions of memory and trauma. It focuses on the engagement of individuals in the memory work related to traumatic past, particularly to the experience of Ravensbrück concentration camp. It examines the processes of remembering and meaning-construction in public and private contexts. The objective is to identify the routes of memory and the impacts on memory transmission in different spaces and temporalities. Ethnographic methods were deployed to investigate processes of remembering in witnesses, women-concentration-camp survivors from various European countries, and the relation to the past familial experience in descendant

This article looks at the agency of memory and remembering, mental mechanisms that serve diverse functions within the ballad tradition, and which allow characters, and us as listeners, to shade experience from the past into the present, bridging time, and distance, and leading us to rehearse the future, as Bill Nicolaisen puts it. The Child ballads begin famously and characteristically, in medias res, in the middle of the action, with a great deal of backstory unknown, or, perhaps, assumed. I have shown how, in some cases, the backstory is provided by communal cultural knowledge or by explicit narration before the song is sung and during its performance (McKean 2015), but through the device of recall, the backstory can sometimes make an appearance within the body of the song, forming a complex concatenated structure that unfolds in performance and upon apprehension by a listener into a multivalent constellation of action and meaning. I will explore remembered action, recalled relationships, and retained loyalties in relation to the unfolding of the ballad story and its narrative repercussions, looking at how memory serves as a fulcrum, a catalyst, and a narrative device.

The article discusses the subject of memory-related pie. etymons in Indo-European languages. In the group of dictionary data which was collected, memory is an ability of the human mind and ability located in the heart. Remembering is one of the functions of the human mind, a cognitive ability that is communicated in the Indo-European language verbs from the mental group based on the pie. etymons: *men- ‘think; mind, spirituals activities,’*(s)mer- ‘mourn, remember with sadness,’ ‘remember, think, take care,’ and *tong- ‘think, feel’. Numerous derivatives of these etymons in particular language groups referred to different features and states of mind: thinking, reflecting, contemplating, consulting, debating, remembering, experiencing sadness, grief, pleasure, kindness, gratitude, etc. Less numerous are the forms referring to remembrance based on the pie. etymon*k̑r̥ d- ‘heart’, which, according to the beliefs of ancient Greeks, is the seat of intelligence and memory, as well as of emotions. In European conceptualisations, there are also references to human characteristics, such as moral and mental strength, courage, mercy, purity of heart, pride, faith and mercy. Indo-European lexemes related to memory in their meanings and etymology show a linguistic image of how our distant ancestors understood the human phenomenon of knowledge storage. The source from which the lexemes were obtained was the etymological dictionaries of Indo-European languages.

The aim of the article is to complement the research on "Dziady, Part IV" by Adam Mickiewicz with a previously unexplored question of references to two stanzas from C.E. Reitzenstein’s "Lotte bei Werthers Grabe", a youthful work of the poet, which the author of the drama wrongly attributed to Goethe. Considering that the author of this Wertheriad, which was very popular at the turn of the 18th century, is not very well known in the Polish culture, it is necessary to include a few aspects related to his biography. The analysis is concerned with the aesthetics, meaning and idealistic rela-tions that connect Reitzenstein’s poem with "Dziady, Part IV". The paper also contains a comparison of the reception of the German poet’s elegy in German-speaking countries and functionalising it in Mickiewicz’s drama.

The pedagogy of commonness might be the art of distinguishing between complementary knowledge and its appearances and communicative masks. Ignorance can create some myths of daily life that sanction mistakes, abuses and misunderstandings as the equivalents or even substitutes of knowledge based on true research, dialogue and exchange of thoughts and ideas. The main thesis of this article is: commonness will not cease – that is why the future reception of the Holocaust depends on the critical thinking skills of people who as users of new media should know why the Holocaust is not only a word. The pedagogy of commonness should prepare every user (who is or will be interested in) of the new media to think critically about the diversity of representations of the Holocaust.

The aim of the paper is to develop at least a part of a voice which is still difficult to understand in the Czech language environment, the voice of the others, (ex-rivals), the ‘expelledʼ, and to anchor it in the work and politics of remembering, registering and writing history of one specific author (we are talking about the continuity of perspective: about fidelity to images, local mythology, its logic). For thirty years, Alfred Klaar (born as Karpeles in 1848 in Prague) co-established Prague discourse in German language from various positions (as a journalist, theatre critic, representative of various societies, ceremony speaker, associate professor of the local German polytechnic etc.). When he moved to Berlin in July 1899, he was almost fifty-one years old. He left his home (both in the narrow sense of the word, as well as the wider sense of ‘Austrian homeʼ, so important to him), but he always kept the world he had lived in for so long in his mind and preserved many links with it in spite of the geographical distance. He also returned to his homeland on various occasions (funerals and other ceremonies, lectures) and he also remained talked about primarily among the Prague German circles; as a piece of memorabilia he was dusted and remembered in stories, and at the same time rightfully seen and honoured as a foreign envoy and speaker of compatriot cultural and political interests. Klaar spoke about Prague, his ‘father townʼ, and the lands near the Prussian border through the history of the German-speaking enclave, while Czechs only occurred sporadically in his retrospect writing. He repeated his thesis about an environment destroyed by ‘Slavic egoismʼ and belligerence, he spoke of the role of the German community in Czech lands as a heroic cultural mission, ungratefully displaced by the dominant policy of Czechisation in the second half of the 19th century, which strived to ‘impress upon the city a unilateral Slavic characterʼ. Only with reluctance did he adapt to the factual geopolitical development — he saw the post-war situation of the German minority in Czechoslovakia as a continuation of unfair marginalisation of his fellow countrymen.
