Modern Jewish immigration and colonization of Palestine started in the eighth decade of the 19th century. Though it took some time until the Arabs started to formulate their opposition towards these activities. At the turn of the century, with the formulation of the Zionist political programme, some Arabs started to voice their opposition in various forms. They were increasingly well informed about Zionist goals and aware of the implications of their policies. However several structural barriers prevented anti-Zionism from becoming a broader movement.

The article aims to introduce and explore the concept of 'transculturation'. Unlike the affiliated concept of 'acculturation', capitalized widely in anthropology, sociology and other branches of social sciences, the concept of transculturation had until recently commanded little attention outside the limited area of Latin American studies. The concept, originally formulated in the 1940s by Cuban sociologist Fernando Ortiz, accentuates the mutual character of cultural interaction, the active participation of 'subordinate' groups in the process, as well as the unique character of the resulting cultural formation. That is, the processes of enforced cultural exchange (for example, through colonial expansion) are perceived as not only destructive, but also creative. While the concept of transculturation had commonly been applied within the frame of American or African history and anthropology, the present article proposes the advantages and possibilities of its use in the study of (Central) European millieu - be it in the study of German-Jewish-Czech interaction in the nineteenth century, or in the study of Protestant-Catholic cultural exchange after the year 1620.

Whereas at the beginning of his career Brazilian anthropologist and sociologist Gilberto Freyre researched into his fatherland's cultural identity, later his thought got markedly cosmopolitan features. It was especially in the context of post-World War II world when Freyre's ideas resounded. Even though initially disregarded, forceful impact of decolonization made him visible – particularly his theory of Lusotropicalism – to Salazarist political and intellectual elites for his thought could provide them with longed-for and highly uselful legitimizing myth. Thus, Freyre's scientific theory got rapidly politicized in Portugal and it became part of Salazarist mythology and valuable ally in the search of the new place in the decolonized world. Freyre's theses about specific, i.e. not typically European and not ethnocentric, character of Portuguese colonization became a part of Salazar's official speeches and interviews and was frequently reminded by both Salazarist authorities and anti-Salazarist opposition. Thus, originally scientific and foreign concept was skillfully exploited in international politics and propaganda.

This article uses the ideas put forth by Hill and Gaddy in their book “Siberian Curse” to discuss the stages of colonization of the European north of Russia. Discussing different components of the colonization process, the authors argue that the initial colonization of this region could not have been carried out earlier than the Neolithic, because in their understanding settlement is the economic development of the territory, and therefore the first attempts to penetrate the primitive collectives to the North cannot be interpreted as either the initial settlement or the initial development. It also refutes the assertion that the colonization of the European north basically ended by the end of the 19th century. It is argued that the ‘Stalinist industrialization’ in the North cannot be regarded as a modernization process, but it is logical to consider it as the next stage of colonization – penal colonization. An analysis of modern social processes in the European North suggests that the processes of colonization retreat are becoming a sustainable development trend in the regions of the European North.

Americans are interested in the American Borderland, its mysterious and romantic heroes as well as potential settlers, writers, journalists, politicians, artists, and historians in the course of time. Thanks to writing of some authors such as James Filmore Cooper, Mark Twain, Owen Wister, historical stories, films (mostly western), most heroes from Frontiers (positive and negative) are in American consciousness to these days. Legendary characters of Frontiers were also commemorated on US postage stamps, songs, poetry, paintings (George Catlin – Indian subject and Charles M. Russell), drawings, graphics, lithographs (Frederic Remington), also documentary photographs, permanently romantic vision of the West and its characters. American Borderland and its heroes also fascinated European people including Poles, what was exemplified in contemporary publicity and travel books. These works contributed largely to spread the ideas about the colonization and the mythologization of the American West.

Every culture develops within exact time and space. Its formation is besides its own development affected also by exogenous changes, by which it is enriched by new cultural elements. One of the factors forming cultural specifications of Kysuce was colonization and migration of inhabitants, which were an important part of the historical development of the region. The aim of the paper is to mention some of their influences of the colonization based on the “Ius Valachorum” and isolated settlement colonization, but mainly the impact of labour migration on the traditional culture of the studied region. We focus on selected aspects and acquaint with acceptance and acquisition of selected components of traditional culture of other areas of Slovakia, respectively of other ethnicities, which was the result of colonization.

The aim of this paper is to confront two highly differentiated accounts of transformations of contemporary intimacy. The first account, represented mainly by Anthony Giddens and Brian McNair, concentrates on the processes of democratization and emancipation; simply speaking, this approach suggests that modern intimacy contains higher amount of freedom than the pre-modern one. The second account underlines significance of processes of commercialization and rationalization of intimacy; according to this approach intimacy becomes more and more dependent to the capitalistic market. This point of view is represented by social scientists such as Ulrich Beck, Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim, Eva Illouz and Arlie Russell Hochschild. The aim of the article is to analyze the abovementioned accounts not as opposite, but as complementary perspectives, which enable one to perceive the highly ambivalent character of modernization of intimacy and modernization in general.

There are many analogies between Ryszard Kapuscisski and Alexis de Toqueville’s works. They both show a substantial similarity in the sphere of their interest, but also in methodology used to obtain information. An important part of Kapuściński and de Toqueville’s achievements are considerations on social mechanisms of thegenesis of the revolution. Moreover, the authors of Szachinszach and The Old Regime and the Revolution, while gathering material for their works, were leading direct observation assuming examining role of a participant through an observer. Therefore, in Ryszard Kapuscinski’s Szachinszach observations on the genesis of the Iranian Islamic Revolution can be interpreted through the prism of Alexis de Toqueville’s reflection on the origins of the French Revolution. The result of adopting such a perspective is the recognition of both writers’ professional research techniques and sanctioning their researches as scientific ones.
