Wojciech Korfanty’s Funeral in Light of Selected Press TitlesThe funerals of political activists from the generation of the fathers of Polish independence were considered to be events of great socio‑political significance in the final years of the Second Polish Republic. The funeral ceremonies were placed within the context of growing war‑related tensions and the internal political situation in the country; frequently, they were of a performative nature, affirming the community of a given political milieu as well as, as in the case of the funeral of Józef Piłsudski, the civic community of the Polish state. An event that partly due to the outbreak of World War II has not endured in collective memory is the funeral of Wojciech Korfanty. While analyzing the social reception of the mourning ceremonies related to the politician’s sudden death, the author has made use of seven press titles that represented a reliable spectrum of opinions expressed by the nation’s political milieus. The aim of this article is to present and analyze the discourse that took place in selected press titles in relation to the death of Wojciech Korfanty, the initiator of the Third Silesian Uprising.

Insight Into

The third generation survivors of the World War II genocide of the European Jews withstand, analyse and create literary texts about the Holocaust, a historical event, which was not endured by them directly but experienced through scientific papers and creative literature. Thanks to Nathalie Skowronek, a novelist living in Brussels, and her publication of Max en apparence (2013) and La Shoah de Monsieur Durand (2015), we can gain some insight into the social and literary reality of Jewish genocide memory and into its intergenerational transmission. Firstly, we will carefully analyse the approach used by this author in the composition of a biographical text about her grandfather’s reconstruction of events. After that, using an intertextual approach, we will analyse formal and moral narrative considerations of the authoress which govern the literary reconstruction grandfather’s biography.

The chapter begins with an illustration of a “mnemonic standoff” between the author and Vitya, a Soviet friend from the 1970s, over the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The two are stunned that they had such different accounts of “what really happened,” and this leads to three general questions: 1. How is it that there can be such strong disagreement between entire national communities about the past? 2. Why were Vitya and I so certain that our accounts of the events in 1945 were true? 3. What deeper, more general commitments of a national community led to the tenacity with which we held our views? The remaining sections of the chapter address why national memory, as opposed to other forms of collective memory, deserves special attention, what a “narrative approach” to national memory is, and how disciplinary collaboration is required to deal with such questions. It then turns to three illustrations that help clarify the conceptual claims. The first involves American and Russian national memory of World War II, the second focuses on differences between Chinese and American memory of the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1999, and the third examines how Russian national memory is used as a lens for interpreting contemporary events in Russia and Georgia. Final sections of the chapter introduce the notion of narratives as “equipment for living” in national memory.

El artículo explora los casos de Oradour-sur-Glane y Saint-Dié (particularmente el proyecto de reconstrucción no ejecutado de Le Corbusier para la segunda ciudad) como representativos de las fracturas sociales que produjo en Francia la Segunda Guerra Mundial y exponentes de dos estrategias conmemorativas habituales de la época: el monumento de advertencia o Mahnmal y el equipamiento cívico o living memorial. Finalmente trata de explicar el devenir de cada caso desde la idea del espacio urbano como “marco social” de la memoria colectiva, introducida por el sociólogo francés Maurice Halbwachs, y desde la construcción de la historia allí donde la memoria desaparece. En el caso de Saint-Dié, si bien la profunda transformación del tejido urbano y las reticencias estilísticas de la población fueron importantes, el desinterés de Le Corbusier por recrear en el centro cívico los rasgos más relevantes de la ciudad previa frustró su objetivo de convertir esta área central en depositaria de la identidad de la población.This article explores the cases of Oradour-sur-Glane and Saint-Dié (particularly the unbuilt project by Le Corbusier for the latter) as representative of the social fractures that took place in France after World War II, and examples of two memorial strategies that became popular at that moment: the “warning monument” or Mahnmal and the civic facility or living memorial. Ultimately, it attempts to explain the fate of each of them based on the idea of urban space as “social frame” of collective memory, introduced by the French sociologist Maurice Halbwachs, and on the construction of history at the point where memory vanishes. In the case of Saint-Dié, while the profound transformation of the urban fabric and the stylistic reluctance of the population were both important, Le Corbusier’s lack of interest in recreating in his civic center the most significant features of the previous city thwarted his goal of making this central area the repository of the identity of the population.

The main aim of the dissertation is to present the institutionalized traditions of psychological and pedagogical counseling in Great Poland before 1945. It brings closer the socio-political situation as well as the conditions resulting from the development of the social sciences that influenced the beginning of the first counseling institutions in Great Poland and in the whole country. It also shows the individual counseling posts that started functioning in Poznan in 1945. The outbreak of the World War II interrupted the development of psychological and pedagogical counseling in Great Poland.

The article is devoted to the biography of General Pavlo Shandruk, an Ukrainian officer who served as a Polish contract officer in the interwar period and at the beginning of the World War II, and in 1945 became the organizer and commander of the Ukrainian National Army fighting alongside the Third Reich in the last months of the war. The author focuses on the symbolic event of 1961, which was the decoration of General Shandruk with the highest Polish (émigré) military decoration – the Virtuti Militari order, for his heroic military service in 1939. By describing the controversy and emotions among Poles and Ukrainians, which accompanied the award of the former Hitler's soldier, the author tries to answer the question of how the General Shandruk’s activities should be assessed in the perspective of the uneasy Twentieth-Century Polish-Ukrainian relations. Keywords: Pavlo Shandruk, Władysław Anders, Virtuti Militari, Ukrainian National Army, Ukrainian National Committee, contract officer.

The mass imprisonment of over 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry during World War II was one of the most egregious violations of civil liberties in US history. Removed from their homes on the temperate Pacific Coast, Japanese Americans spent the war years in ten desolate camps in the nation’s interior. Although scholars and commentators acknowledge the harsh environmental conditions of these camps, they have turned their attention to the social, political, or legal dimensions of this story. Nature Behind Barbed Wire shifts the focus to the natural world and explores how it shaped the experiences of Japanese Americans and federal officials who worked for the War Relocation Authority (WRA), the civilian agency that administered the camps. The complexities of the natural world both enhanced and constrained the WRA’s power and provided Japanese Americans with opportunities to redefine the terms and conditions of their confinement. Even as the environment compounded their feelings of despair and outrage, they also learned that their willingness (or lack thereof) to transform and adapt to the natural world could help them endure and even contest their incarceration. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that the Japanese American incarceration was fundamentally an environmental story. Japanese Americans and WRA officials negotiated the terms of confinement with each other and with a dynamic natural world.

This chapter analyses inns, taverns, and public houses in their social context, exploring their organizational identity and the social positions of their owners/tenants. It examines how patrons express their class, gender, and national identity by participation in different kinds of sociality. Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century hostelries afforded more opportunities for cross-class sociability than in later centuries. Social mixing was facilitated because the venues fulfilled multiple economic, social, and political functions, thereby providing room for social interaction apart from communal drinking and eating. Yet, even in these earlier centuries, each type of hostelry already had a distinctive class character, shaping its organizational identity. Division along lines of class hardened, and social segregation increased in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, up to World War II. In the post-War era, increased democratization of society at large became reflected in easier social mixing in pubs. Despite this democratization, during the late twentieth century the dominant image of pubs as a working-class institution persisted.

Writing in 1988, Arnold Relman heralded the dawning of the “third revolution“ in medical care. The first revolution, at the end of World War II, had inaugurated an Era of Expansion, with an explosion of hospitals, physicians, and research. Medicare and Medicaid were passed, and medicine experienced a golden age of growth. Inevitably, according to Relman, this yielded to an Era of Cost Containment starting in the 1970s. The federal government and private employers revolted against soaring costs, brandishing the weapons of prospective payment, managed care, and global budgeting. Yet these blunt instruments of cost-cutting eventually produced concern over how to evaluate the quality of health care, to promote the good while trimming the bad. Thus Relman announced the arrival of the Era of Assessment and Accountability.This chronology helps explain the current importance of quality. Quality assessment and more recently, quality improvement techniques, occupy a central place in this new era.

The One

In this article, we scrutinise epistemic competitions in interviews about World War II. In particular, we analyse how the interlocutors draw on their epistemic authority concerning WWII to construct their interactional telling rights. On the one hand, the analyses illustrate how the interviewers rely on their historical expert status – as evidenced through their specialist knowledge and ventriloquisation of vicarious WWII narratives – in order to topicalise certain master narratives and thereby attempt to project particular identities upon the interviewees. On the other hand, the interviewees derive their epistemic authority from their first-hand experience as Jewish Holocaust survivors, on which they draw in order to counter these story projections, whilst constructing a more distinct self-positioning to protect their nuanced personal identity work. Overall, these epistemic competitions not only shaped the interviewees’ identity work, but they also made the link between storytelling and the social context more tangible as they brought – typically rather elusive – master narratives to the surface.

Abstract There was a time when mission studies benefitted from a symbiotic relationship with the social sciences. However, it appears that relationship has stagnated and now is waning. The argument is made here, in the case of cultural anthropology both in Europe and the United States, that a once mutually beneficial though sometimes strained relationship has suffered a parting of the ways in recent decades. First, the article reviews the relationships between missionaries and anthropologists before World War II when it was possible to be a ‘missionary anthropologist’ with a foot in both disciplines. In that period, the conversation went two ways with missionary anthropologists making important contributions to anthropology. Then, the article reviews some aspects of the development of the two disciplines after World War II when increasing professionalism in both disciplines and a postmodern turn in anthropology took the disciplines in different directions. Finally, the article asks whether or not the conversation, and thus the cross-fertilization, can be restarted, especially since the youngest generation of anthropologists has recognized the reality of local Christianities in their fields of study.
