This study aims to map the gender politics of contemporary Romanian street naming. Hodonyms mirror mentalities and the ideas prevailing in a society. Urban microtoponimy is an androcentric one, as public life has belonged, throughout history, almost exclusively to men. Women emerged from the private and domestic spheres only in the nineteenth century, and this justifies, in a way, the much smaller number of street names that are claimed by female names. The recognition of women’s role in society and their commemoration through hodonyms can function as a reparative act of balancing the power and influence asymmetries.

a1_The direct inspiration for my assessment of currently created rural toponymic microsystems was the change in property numbers and the naming of old country paths in my district of Koronowo and in the neighbouring district of Osielsko. New road and street names in rural areas are an addition to the toponymic resources. Having analysed selected examples of street names from rural toponymic microsystems, I observed a high repeatability rate. In the district of Koronowo, this refers to 30 names, and in the district of Osielsko to as many as 40! Consequently, the level of toponymic differentiation is low in these areas, both in terms of tradition and the organization of the social and cultural setting. The engagement of users in the naming process is minimal. A new trend is the domination of arbitral names, which constitute as many as 50 % of all road names in the district of Koronowo and nearly 80 % in the district of Osielsko. It is a testament to poor qualifications of the officials, who initiate the creation process of this system. They have difficulty in communicating with local residents with regard to the creation of the rural toponymic microsystem — being a new phenomenon as opposed to the long-established urban toponymy. It is a pity that they do not cooperate with linguists, onomasticians or historians of the region. Usually, the semantic and structural features used in new rural names are those that are common in the urban naming system. This means that the names of streets and roads (sometimes very small ones!) are - as can be seen in the examined material - a selective import from the urban culture. They do not fully express the character of the area, as they fail to make any reference to its historical or cultural heritage, despite the fact that these areas boast interesting historical backgrounds, related, for instance, to the struggle for independence in various periods, and are also full of geographical points of interest. Compared with politically-driven names of streets and new natural features (e.g. new lakes in the village of Kręgle, or the Grabina Park and the Wyczółkowski Grove), names commemorating historical events or topographical changes would simply have an associative value.

This article is concerned with a specific example of a public place being spontaneously renamed, a seemingly one-of-a-kind example in the history of Prague public place naming. In early 1969, the urban toponymy of Prague experienced a moment the citizens took an active part in creating a name for a public space. Individuals as well as groups put forth effort with the objective to ensure the set of Prague place names included Jan Palach, who had sacrificed his life in protest against the occupation of former Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact forces in 1968. This article seeks to analyze archived documents (preserved requests, petitions, and municipal authorities meeting minutes) based on which the incentives and the argumentation used in the requests as well as the reactions from the municipal authorities are described.

Článek se zabývá jedním konkrétním dokladem fenoménu spontánního přejmenování městského prostoru, a to dokladem, který nemá v dějinách pojmenovávání pražských veřejných míst obdoby. V první polovině roku 1969 zažila pražská urbanonymie moment aktivní účasti obyvatel města při vzniku názvu veřejného prostranství, když se do ní obyvatelé (jednotlivci i celé skupiny) pokoušeli prosadit jméno studenta Jana Palacha, jenž obětoval svůj život na protest proti potlačování svobod a pasivnímu přístupu veřejnosti po okupaci Československa armádami států Varšavské smlouvy v roce 1968. Tento příspěvek analyzuje archivní materiály (dochované žádosti a petice i zápisy z jednání městských orgánů), na jejichž základě sleduje argumentaci použitou v návrzích a na druhé straně pak reakci městské samosprávy.
