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.

In this article the author argues for the rapprochement between the methods and questions of the history of historiography and the questionnaire of the sociology of knowledge. The sociological perspective can inspire both the research on the communities of professional historians and the functioning of the historiographical knowledge in social and political structures. The author analyzes diff erent dimensions of the political functions of historiography and emphasizes the diff erence between the utilitarian and scientific aspects of historical knowledge.

The aim of this article is to present selected methodological threads of the discussion on the status of historical sources which took place in Polish post‑war historiography. In the article, I present the concepts of the historical source formulated in 1957–1989, mainly by Gerard Labuda and Jerzy Topolski. Further in the text, I will present the discussion about Topolski’s concepts and characterize the peculiarities of contemporary history as regards historical sources. In the light of the presented classification of sources, I will reflect on the status of the documents created by the apparatus of repression of the Polish People’s Republic.

This study deals with a reflexive sight on specifics of the oral history methods in the Czech public space and on the field of the new media instruments. It emphasizes the technological and conceptual transformations of the methods and how they are (not) interconnected to one another. The study is based on reflexive interviews with the chosen oral history agents in the Czech public space.

The article explores the idea of temporality in relation to high-modernist literary representations of London. I claim that the modernist metropolis appears as a palimpsest whose memorialising function is upheld by techniques such as fragmentation, citation, myth, allegory, intertextual references or allusions, which question the stereotypical relationship between then and now, subject and site. It does so by deconstructing traditional temporal sequences and by foregrounding a subtle connection between past and present. Thus, the modernist city will be considered as a space of transformation in which the substantialness of space and subjective time translates the elusive meaning of contemporary history.

The article reviews the research on travelling and tourism in Czechoslovakia from 1945 till the end of the communist regime in 1989. The attention is paid to three elementary dimensions. The first part points out some of the limits of existing research which during the last seventy years was formed through the specific discipline of Czech tourism research. Second part is tackling some of the current problems and challenges in the research, particularly the questions connected with relevant sources. The third part outlines some basic topics, along which the future research on travelling and tourism can be structured.

The article tries to summarise the forms and uses of memory writings (such as published personal diaries or memoirs), which have been written or „orally shared“ (in the case of oral history interviews) by former Velvet Revolution protagonists, university students in former Czechoslovakia. The author of this article tries to analyse and interpret them in the wide historical and historiographic context. The main aim is to assess, how these memory sources (and „student narratives“) are appropriated by „general“ Czech contemporary historiography and how they can also influence the „general“ collective memory of the Velvet Revolution in contemporary Czech society.

This study explores several military reenactor performances through the optics of reenactment studies after the affective turn and post-positivist oral history. These are co-organized or independently produced by a Czech military history reenactment club, which is specific for its unique affectivity, experience, and production of historical meaning. In action and film reenactment performances, which we refer to as The West, The March, and Division 45, the reenactors focus on the reconstruction of the final phase of the 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Estonian) combat journey in the Czech lands in May 1945. In doing so, they produce meanings that conflict with contemporary Czech military culture and official memory, but they avoid historical revisionism. In this sense, the reenactor performances touch upon, among other things, the still highly conflicting local issues of the politics of memory – the so-called crimes of the victors of the summer of 1945, especially the crimes committed against prisoners of war of various types of the German armed forces, subjected to highly inhumane treatment. Until now, these crimes have been debated in the Czech historical community more or less only in relation to German civilians.

This discussion contribution highlights the issues of the importance of a critique of archival primary sources and the necessity to uphold established rules of oral research for the period of contemporary post-war history. The author responds here to a book on professors and students of the Faculty of Arts of the Charles University in Prague in the years of the so-called “normalisation”, i.e. the period of personnel purges following the Soviet military occupation of Czechoslovakia until the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The author points out that the archival materials originating from the activities of either the organs of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia or Communist state security services cannot be used as a reliable illustration of events at that time unless a strict critique and contextual placement are applied. In addition, oral historical research has to work with eye-witness accounts bearing in mind their complexity and not to adopt merely a selective methodology.

In recent years, historians have increasingly looked at social science data in their search for sources to study the transformation period. Researchers hope that a secondary analysis of this data will expand the existing sources. This expansion promises new perspectives, while simultaneously bringing new methodological challenges to the discipline. This article deals with both: 1. It uses a history of knowledge approach to evaluate the topics and tools of transformation research. It also argues that social scientists were not only producers of knowledge but historical actors in the restructuring of the institutions of social sciences in East Germany after 1989/90. 2. With the German Socio-Economic Panel and especially the Saxonian Longitudinal Study as an example, the article refers to the content of the studies itself – in this case, the East German school as a site of life-worlds in upheaval. It concludes that the encounter of social scientists and historians is very fruitful for historians interested in the interaction of system change and everyday life. That is, the secondary analysis of qualitative and quantitative social science data compliments ‘classical’ sources of historical research by providing insights into memories and experiences at different times in the historical process.

Mapping the development of the research of contemporary history in the Czech Republic is not possible without analyses of the opinion and research development of key personalities. Jan Křen (1930–2020), a prolific historian who established a new field, an active political intellectual and influential academic teacher, was one of the most important Czech historians from the 1960s to the second decade of the 21st century. Křen’s development of his ideas, transformations of the thematization of the levels and aspects of the modern history of the Czech lands and every more distinctly also Central or all of Europe demonstrates the gradual general expansion of his research optics. The history of the Communist Party stood at the beginning, and from the 1960s they were replaced by Křen’s books on the Czechoslovak western exile representation of 1938–1940 and his fundamental role in large syntheses about the resistance against the Nazis. In the 1970s and 1980s, when Křen was forced to work as a field worker for his political involvement in the Prague Spring, he wrote a fundamental work on the problems of Czech-German coexistence. After the 1989 revolution, in addition to a number of cultural and political activities, Křen founded and led the interdisciplinary Institute of International Studies. At the same time, he devoted his research and literary capacity to the synthesis of Central European history from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 21st centuries.

In Portugal, the suffering and struggle of the East Timorese people for independence started a social movement of solidarity with strong repercussions in the arts, namely music and literature. Children’s Literature depicted the theme of this period of oppression in East Timor, as well as the recognition of its independence and its right to freedom, in a picturebook selected for the White Ravens List in 2003 called East Timor – Island of the Rising Sun (2001), by João Pedro Mésseder and André Letria. This unusual picturebook, characterised by a very simple and sparse, almost poetic, text combined with large-format pictures, depicts this chapter of the contemporary history of East Timor in very specific way, resembling fairy tales or legends. The text and images are combined in order to promote symbolic readings, suggesting a magical/mystical environment that impresses readers. More than a decade later, recent struggles and stories from East Timor are still present in Portuguese picturebooks such as Lya/Lia (2014), by Margarida Botelho. The social change, path to democracy and educational development, as well as daily life and children’s pastimes are now the centre of a narrative that establishes the similarities and differences between modern-day Portugal and East Timor. Our aim is to analyse both the political and ideological perspectives present in these picturebooks aimed at very young readers, offering a broad vision of different realities and contexts, even when they deal with war, death and suffering, as was the case of the East Timorese fight for independence.

Niezależnie od nastawień ideowych w tym okresie historycznym praca była traktowana jako wartość i składnik ideałów wychowawczych. Eksponowano w nich nie tylko utylitarne, ale przede wszystkim etyczne wartości pracy oraz postawę twórczą człowieka. Po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości, z myślą o wzmocnieniu państwa, wprowadzono program wychowania gospodarczego społeczeństwa. W prezentowanym tekście dokonana została charakterystyka poglądów na istotę pracy w dziejach nowożytnych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem polskiej myśli pedagogicznej.

Work as a citizen’s creative attitude in Polish philosophical and educational thought of modern times In the modern history of Polish philosophical and educational thought, regardless of their ideological attitudes, work was regarded as a value and component of educational ideals. Not only utilitarian, but above all ethical values of work and man’s creative attitude were exposed in them. After Poland had regained its independence, a program of economic education of society was introduced with a view to strengthening the state.

The phenomenon of forced labour of Poles in the period of the Second World War in the area of West Pomerania already has some historiography. The authors attempt to present a new publication created in Polish and German cooperation, Miejsca pracy przymusowej Polaków w Stralsrundzie i Stargardzie (The areas of forced labour of Poles in Stralsrund and Stargard) in the context of the existing literature on the subject. The paper discusses the contents of the publication, and accentuates on its ground-breaking character through, hitherto unknown to the Polish historiography, a topographically precise image of the micro-world of forced labour, combining like never before the topics of history, sociology, psychology and cultural anthropology. The book is characterised by its powerful imagery and equally suggestive narration which, along with the apt choice of iconography, allows the reader to follow the authors along the path of foreigners subjected to forced labour.

Omówiono treść niniejszej publikacji oraz uwypuklono jej przełomowy charakter, polegający na – nieznanym dotychczas w historiografii polskiej – ukazaniu dokładnego topograficznie obrazu mikroświata pracy przymusowej i łączeniu, jak nigdy dotąd, wątków historii, socjologii, psychologii i antropologii kulturowej. Książkę cechuje wielka siła wyrazu i sugestywna narracja, która wraz z odpowiednim doborem ikonografii pozwala czytelnikowi wraz z autorami wędrować trasą losu obcokrajowców-robotników przymusowych.

Based on a comparison of two current biographies of the famous Warsaw mayors of the 1930s and 1940s, Stefan Starzyński and Julian Kulski, the author tries to capture with the earlier literature the establishment and transformation of the historical image of both heroized personalities. Both had substantial merit in modernizing Warsaw in the 1930s, defending it against the Nazis and resistance activities, but were also adherents to Józef Piłsudski and were members of the elite „renewal“ military-authoritarian regime. The paper shows the supra-regional significance of the mayors of the metropolis, describes their posthumous political instrumentation, or the collisions of methods of the historiographic interpretations of these personalities.

There are presented the most important historical frames of „sphere“ development, but also there are illuminated the key perspectives and meanings deriving from realised oral history interviews. For conclusion the author tries to resume and „re-think“ the issue of „historical meaning“ and the importance of 1989 change in the context of Czech contemporary history.
