Abstract This letter focuses on both the recent history of academic philosophy in Switzerland and its present status. Historically, institutional self-consciousness of philosophy came to life during World War II as a reaction to the isolation of international academic life in Switzerland; moreover, the divide between philosophy in the French part and the German part of the country had to be bridged. One important instrument to achieve this end was the creation of the “Schweizerische Philosophische Gesellschaft” and its “Jahrbuch” (today: “Studia philosophica”) in 1940. At the same time the creation of the journal “Dialectica” (1947), the influence of Joseph Maria Bochensky at the University of Fribourg and Henri Lauener at the University of Berne prepared the ground for the flourishing of analytic philosophy in Switzerland. Today analytic philosophy has established a very successful academic enterprise in Switzerland without suppressing other philosophical traditions. Despite the fact that academic philosophy is somewhat present in the public, there is much more potential for actual philosophical research to enter into public consciousness. The outline sketched in this letter is, of course, a limited account of the recent history and present state of philosophy in Switzerland. There is only very little research on this topic.

This well-researched book is a welcome contribution to the study of the Druzes, one of the most under-studied religious groups in the Middle East. The main objective of this book is to trace the historical development of the Druzes in Israel since the creation of the Jewish state in 1948 to the present, and to show that Druze ethnicity was and still is an instrument in the hands of the Israeli government officials and the Druze elite. This book also attempts to show how the Zionists used Druze ethnicity and ethnic issues to pursue their policy aims of alienating the Druzes from other Arabs. In this work, the author, a professor at the University of Haifa, revisits an area he knows well and has already presented in a previous book, A History of the Druzes.

This article recounts the unusual fate of the artist-copyist Nicholas Lochoff. Lochoff, who lived most of his life abroad, in Italy, remains relatively unknown in his Russian homeland. Based on Russian and American historiography, and the periodical press, the author follows Lochoff ’s path from professional revolutionary to self-taught artist who became recognized as one of the leading copyists of the twentieth century. As research shows, the philanthropy of Helen Clay Frick enabled the University of Pittsburgh to acquire Lochoff ’s unclaimed copies of European masterpieces where they became an asset in educating future generations of American art historians.

The Impact

Analysis of the conditions for creating a collection of historical costume, which is stored at the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design. Determining the impact of the collection on the process of preparing specialists in the field of fashion. The history of the creation of the collection and its structure are investigated systematically, objectively, in conjunction with the actual problems of modern fashion theory. Special attention is focused on the use of comparative tools and experimental studies. The necessity of creating a collection of historical costume at the faculty, which prepares fashion designers, was justified. Modern scientific methods of reproducing historical clothing were analyzed, a circle of sources for practical research of authentic samples was outlined. The history of the creation of the collection and the problems encountered by the project participants was described. The structure of the collection was analyzed, which today accounts for more than 500 samples of clothing, additions and accessories, and reflects the history of world fashion from antiquity to the twentieth century. The article also presents an overview of the main events on the presentation of the collection at various exhibition venues in recent years, emphasizing the importance of such events for promoting information about the activities of the University. The article is illustrated with unique photographs from the archive of the author, most of which are published for the first time.

The aim of this paper is to re-examine the painted fragments discovered by Arthur Evans and his team in the Throne Room at Knossos in 1900. We have tried to integrate systematically the extant archival data stored in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the archaeological remains at Herakleion in an attempt to retrace the history of discovery of the paintings. In our view, the iconography of this programme places its execution at the onset of Late Minoan (LM) II. We see the inclusion of both ‘traditional’ (Neopalatial) and ‘innovative’ (Final Palatial) elements in the composition as suggestive of an attempt on behalf of the artist(s) and the commissioner(s) to blend artistic traditions in the creation of a new, yet still recognisable, image of power. We assess the implications stemming from this suggestion and interpret the decorative programme of the Throne Room at Knossos as part and expression of the emergence of thewanaxideology.

Abstract The Dutch Theatre Production Database is a historical database with data on theatre and dance productions in the Netherlands by professional Dutch and foreign producers and companies. The database contains data on practically all productions from 1940 up to now: over one hundred thousand productions that can be freely searched using either the Webopac (http://theatercollectie.uva.nl/search/advanced) or the website Theaterencyclopedie (https://theaterencyclopedie.nl). Since 2013 the database is managed by the Department of Special Collections of the Library of the University of Amsterdam. It is the only source that offers an overview of the complete theatre programme in the Netherlands. The origins of its development lie in the card catalogue of the library of the Toneelmuseum of the 1960s. The database itself is now nearly three decades old and has grown much larger than the first compilers could ever have imagined. Until now a history of its development has been lacking. This paper offers a reconstruction of the history of the creation and development of the data and a description of the protocols and input system. This paper clarifies which sources have fed the database and which systems and productions have been fed by the database. With this paper, the verifiability and representativeness of the data can be assessed more effectively.

The records on writer and historian Uldis Ģērmanis (1915–1997) at the Academic Library of the University of Latvia reveal the origins of the most important publications, as well as their resonance in the exile community and later also in Latvian society. The documents that can be found here and in other repositories allow following the creation of Uldis Ģērmanis’s works and their echoes in the exile community. The essay Latviešu strēlnieku vēsturiskā nozīme (The Historical Significance of Latvian Riflemen) written by Jukums Vācietis and commented by U. Ģērmanis that was published in the book Pa aizputinātām pēdām (1956) gave rise to intensive exchange of ideas for the opportunity to publish a text in exile written in the Soviet Russia and to the debates on the role of Latvian riflemen in the fight for the statehood of Latvia. Furthermore, the book by U. Ģērmanis Latviešu tautas piedzīvojumi (The Adventures of Latvian Nation, 1959) offers a new approach in attracting the interest of youth to the history of Latvia. The correspondence of U. Ģērmanis shows a dilemma of a Latvian intellectual between the desire to have an academic career and the necessity to get actively involved in the social life in exile. It shows the different opinions of U. Ģērmanis and other intellectuals in exile concerning the contacts of Latvian cultural and academic circles with the exile community that were controlled by the Soviet security institutions, which led to tensions in their relationship or even the loss of contact with several friends and colleagues of U. Ģērmanis. The research of the epistolary heritage of U. Ģērmanis attests to his long-term engagement in the creation of monthly magazine Brīvība, as well as provides so far unknown information about the circulation of information between Latvia and exile communities in the years of the Soviet occupation.
