The article deals with the idea of “haunted landscape” as a research tool in analyzing post-expulsion landscapes. I propose a new perspective on analyzing narrations concerning expulsion and resettlements of lands where a drastic demographic change took place. I use existing research connected with the idea of Jacques Derrida’s hauntology, as well as other analytical sources dealing with folktales of different regions. As material for analysis, I propose various records from ethnographic research conducted in the Czechoslovak borderlands, stored at the Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, concerning the space of a “traditional house” and the new settlers’ views on their new home.

Culinary Culture

A significant layer in the culture of an ethnic group is folklore, which includes a variety of folk art. It expresses the knowledge and experience of the people. Proverbs and sayings, where the centuries-old wisdom of the ethnic group is conveyed in a concise form, concerning different spheres of life, are of interest for learning. Thanks to proverbs and sayings, it is possible to reconstruct the national picture of the world and its components, but often this aspect remains out of the field of attention of scientists. In this regard, the aim of the study was the proverbs and sayings of the Tatar people concerning food. The hypothesis is put forward that the proverbs and sayings of the Tatar people are able to identify the characteristic features of the gastronomic culture of the Tatars, which includes culinary culture, the culture of eating and gastronomic reflection. The key research methods are analytical and hermeneutical. On their basis, the Tatar proverbs and sayings collected in the 6th volume of the publication «Tatar Folk Art» of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan edited by H.Sh. Makhmutov are studied. As a result of the analysis, the respectful attitude of the ethnic group to food, the production and preparation of which is associated with hard work, was highlighted. The Tatars reflected their love for certain products and dishes, formulated tips for housewives on farming, paid attention to moderation in food and etiquette in proverbs and sayings. The study confirmed the hypothesis. It is concluded that the acquired knowledge allows us to reconstruct the national picture of the Tatars of the Middle Volga region and the Urals from a new perspective through the prism of proverbs and sayings, to interpret their national culture and many of its components, including everyday life and everyday life.

Gradual Transformation

This article presents research and development on innovative photoactive admixtures for concrete and cement-based plasters for the finishing of concrete surfaces finished this year. The goal of the development was to provide the resulting surfaces of these newly developed materials with a self-cleaning ability stemming from photocatalytic reaction during exposure to UV radiation. The specific function of all these products is based on the photocatalytic oxidative mineralization of all organic structures present on the surface, i.e., their gradual transformation into the final simple inorganic compounds, which are carbon dioxide, water and the corresponding mineral acids. This research and development was carried out as part of a project supported by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade, in the TRIO programme; and in cooperation of BETOSAN s.r.o., the Technical University of Liberec, the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The first type of developed material is a photocatalytically active admixture in powder form, allowing the preparation of concrete surfaces with photocatalytic properties. The second type of developed material is a photocatalytically active cement-based plaster, intended primarily for application to a concrete substrate. Two final versions of both materials were developed. In the case of the plaster this means preparation of two colour variants, specifically white and grey. For the powder concrete admixture two types with different application procedures were developed. This means one version of admixture mixed throughout the entire volume of the concrete and second variant applied only in the surface layer of the concrete. We anticipate mainly exterior applications on the self-cleaning outer shell of buildings, as well as treatment of the surface layer of various structures such as bridges, noise barriers, traffic barriers and tunnels. The developed materials can also be used in interiors under specific conditions, with anticipated uses in the health care and food processing industries.

This research and development is currently underway as part of a project supported by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade, in the TRIO programme; and in cooperation with BETOSAN s.r.o., the Technical University of Liberec, the Institute of Inorganic chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the J.

The second type of material under development is a photocatalytically active cement-based plaster, intended primarily for application to a concrete substrate. The preparation of two or more final versions is to be expected for both types of materials. In the case of the plaster this includes the preparation of two colour variants, specifically white and grey. For the powdered cement admixture we expect the preparation of various types based on their application. This could mean different types of admixtures mixed throughout the entire volume of the concrete or only in the surface layer of the concrete. We envisage exterior applications on the self-cleaning outer shell of buildings, as well as treatment of the surface layer of various structures such as bridges, noise barriers, traffic barriers and tunnels.

First Time

The article deals with the history of relations between Gregory Lukyanov, Russian Egyptologist and antiquarian, and his colleagues from the Kondakov Archaeological Institute in Prague in the 1930s. The article is based on materials from Czech archives (Archives of the Art History Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the collection of manuscripts of the Slavonic Library in Prague). The author of this work reveals the unknown page of the history of scientific communications in the midst of the Russian emigration, shows the existence of intellectual contacts between the «Russian Czechoslovakia» and «Russian Egypt». The article is devoted to the analysis of the internal contacts of Gregory Lukyanov, the motives of his professional activity abroad, the basic directions of his cooperation with colleagues from Prague and attempts to create there a collection of Coptic textiles and to publish its catalogue, which unfortunately failed. For the first time, the history of translation of «The Poem of Pentawer» by Lukyanov and attempts of publication of its Russian translation have been described. The author reveals the various contradictions between Gregory Lukyanov and his Prague colleagues that arose in the process of scientific communication.

The aim of this paper is to present the utility of the Gorazd: An Old Church Digital Hub for scholars working with Old Romanian and Slavonic texts written on the territory of today’ s Romania. The Gorazd Project was realized during the years 2016–2020 and it includes an Old Church Slavonic Card Index and three Old Church Slavonic lexical databases, among which the largest one is represented by the digitized and updated version of the monumental Lexicon linguæ palæoslovenicæ (vol. I–IV, 1958–1997) composed by the Institute of Slavonic Studies of the Czech Academy of Sciences. As the Gorazd Project uses English as meta-language, its application is not limited to narrowly specialized Slavic philologists, but it is also open for scholars of neighbouring fields. The dictionaries within the Gorazd Digital Hub can serve as a reference tool not just for the oldest attested Slavonic vocabulary and its semantics, but also for the biblical concordance of the Slavonic oldest Bible redaction and the oldest attested Old Church Slavonic morphological forms.
