This article is about the suicide of the chief of police of a small Canadian town, which - according to some - did not actually happen. While employed as a researcher and writer with a museum in Port Moody, British Columbia, the author heard this story as one of many told by the ‘old-timers’ who assisted with the writing of a history book. The controversy over the potential suicide provided the means by which this article reflects on issues of ethics, advocacy, and performance when doing public history. The main request of the old-timers was to ‘put the good stories in’ when writing the book. This expectation caused tension between the author and the museum, reflecting the divide between doing ‘history’ and ‘heritage’. This article draws on Anthropological theories of ‘complicity’ and performance in storytelling to make sense of the author’s role within the context of a museum working to record the stories of long-time residents. The stories of the old-timers were filtered through the lens of early 20th century ideas about gender, race, and class, and affected by a lingering frontier mentality. As such, they wished to see their town’s history told in a very specific way. The story of the police chief’s suicide betrayed this intent, allowing for an analysis of how these expectations can affect the way in which public history is done.

"The Contemporary Reception of Lajos Csiky’s Voluminous Works. Lajos Csiky (1852–1925) was a late 19th and early 20th-century professor of practical theology at the Theological Academy of Debrecen. His works have not yet been researched accordingly. In the first part of this short paper, we would like to present the socio-theological context in which the renowned theologian spent his creative years, focusing especially on the debate of the day between liberal and orthodox theology. In the second part, we would like to reflect on the way his major theological works were received by his contemporaries during a span of more than four decades of academic activity.

The Russian Empire

The period between the 19th – early 20th century witnessed waves of actively forming Polish communities in Russia’s rural areas. A major factor that contributed to the process was the repressive policy by the Russian Empire towards those involved in the Polish national liberation and revolutionary movement. Large communities were founded in Siberia, the Volga region, Caucasus, and European North of Russia (Arkhangelsk). One of the largest communities emerged in Siberia. By the early 20th century, the Polonia in the region consisted of tens of thousands of people. The Polish population was engaged in Siberia’s economic life and was an important stakeholder in business. Among the most well-known Polish-Siberian entrepreneurs was Alfons Poklewski-Koziell who was called the “Vodka King of Siberia” by his contemporaries. Poles, who returned from Siberian exile and penal labor, left recollections of their staying in Siberia or notes on the region starting already from the middle of the 19th century. It was this literature that was the main source of information about the life of the Siberian full for a long time. Exile undoubtedly became a significant factor that was responsible for Russia’s negative image in the historical memory of Poles. This was reflected in publications based on the martyrological approach in the Polish historiography. Glorification of the struggle of Poles to restore their statehood was a central standpoint adopted not only in memoirs, but also in scientific studies that appeared the second half of the 19th – early 20th century. The martyrological approach dominated the Polish historiography until 1970s. It was not until the late 20th century that serious scientific research started utilizing the civilizational approach, which broke the mold of the Polish historical science. This is currently a leading approach. This enables us to objectively reconstruct the history of the Siberian Polonia in the imperial period of the Russian history. The article is intended to analyze publications by Polish authors on the history of the Polish community in Siberia the 19th – early 20th century. It focuses on memoirs and research works, which had an impact on the reconstruction of the Siberian Polonia’s history. The paper is written using the retrospective, genetic, and comparative methods.re.

And Performance

In this paper I seek to apprehend some of the powers of nonrepresentational practice and performance through an encounter with the rhythmic movement of the body. I concentrate on eurhythmics, a practice that emerged in Geneva in the late 19th century and early 20th century as an effort to improve musical appreciation through rhythmic movement. Drawing on work in cultural and architectural theory, I argue that the historical and cultural geographies of eurhythmics can best be apprehended diagrammatically. Specifically, I situate eurhythmics in diagrammatic relation to the corporeal kinaesthetics of rhythmic movement, to practices of social and cultural transformation, and to architectures of performative potential. By apprehending the geographies of eurhythmics in this way, I not only work to demonstrate that nonrepresentational styles of thinking and working multiply rather than undermine the field of power in which geographers move, but also present a sense of how these powers can become implicated in the very practice and performance of geographical research.

First Time

For the first time, the article analyses certain aspects of Russian poetry of the “Silver Age” in order to identify the rudiments or features which are characteristic of the postmodern creative paradigm. It is noted that a number of poets almost do not have any postmodernist tendencies. Despite the fact it is proved that postmodernism denies the personality-centric and aesthetically oriented concept of modernism, it nevertheless arose on the basis of modernism and has sharpened evolutionary features formulated in the first half of the 20th century. The article aims to prove a hypothesis that arises in the authors during a preliminary perceptual reading of the poets` works of the “Silver Age”: in the early 20th century. Sporadically and consistently in individual authors can be observed irony, play, reconstruction and performance as precursor of postmodernist creative thinking. Specialties of the Russian poetry of the “Silver Age”, which directly correlate with postmodernist tendencies of the second half of the 20th century is not a description itself, but the realization of reality, ambivalence, as well as following the linguistic and figurative, conceptual, motive levels of gradual transitions between the paradigms of “symbolism – modernism” and “modernism – postmodernism”. The international significance of the article is that the material of one of the Eastern European literatures has proved the existence of postmodern (quasi-postmodern) features in the first half of the 20th century for the first time, which can serve as a deeper research in the field of literary typology, continuity; culturology and anthropology.

The purpose of this essay is to trace the way in which the character of Spanish brothel life is treated during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This character defines his love affairs, seduces and attracts the young women to have love encounters with their suitors through deceits and love potions. García Márquez adopts these literary traditions in the early 20th century in Barranquilla and enriches them with characters such as the procuress and maid Delgadina.

T. S. Eliot's Sweeney Agonistes is one of the most important pieces in modern drama. The purpose of this study of Sweeney Agonistes is to explore the fertilising forces that made it possible for the play to bring new colours to the language of the theatre; another aim is to look at the background of the fragments, exploring the different elements of ritual, religion, and literary sources working in the play. Although the play is fragmentary, it can be regarded as a key to Eliot's dramatic art. The way Eliot used the language of Jazz is unique in early 20th century literature; the lack of characters, plot and settings naturally draw our attention to language, which is characterised by an unprecedented vitality and dynamism. Eliot clearly succeeded in establishing a new vehicle for dramatic expression. The rituals providing the background in Sweeney are closely connected with Greek drama and the religious turn in Eliot's life leading to the birth of the Ariel Poems, one of which, "The Journey of the Magi," opens up to further analysis if we approach it from the direction of Sweeney Agonistes.

Might it be possible to discern in Raul Lino's writings _namely those published in 1918 and 1933_ the profile of a modern treatise on architecture, in the early 20th century?Drawing parallels on Alberti's "inaugural" essay (Choay, [1980], p.25), an assay precept is outlined (‘pro tem’ less conceptual than it is pragmatic), with which to approach both Lino books, anent the design of the modern dwelling. From Choay's five teatrise-making hallmarks, a structural comparison is enacted between Vitruvius' and Alberti's treatises and those books of Raul Lino; from Krüger (2011), further benchmarks of form and schematics are highlighted, as are othersrelated to subject, objective and framework.Probing both publications under the "cost-effective, modern dwelling" design premise (Lino, 1933, p.51), the 1918 book flaunts, perhaps, a richer vitruvian undertone, and more akin to a "book […] on architecturalcomposition" (Vogliazzo, 1988-90)[1], featuring tips on construction, just as it were a practical handbook; the 1933 release, however, borders on albertine ‘inauguration’, and contends an artistic-architectural theory, encompassing of a system of ‘virtues’; the latter is almost a "commentator" (Choay, [1980]), paving the way to "protest" (Lino, 1933, p.96) in a time of criticism, and manifestos.[1] Vogliazzo holds that, "aside from Le Corbusier, the last books to truly focus on architectural composition" were written by Hermann Muthesius and Raul Lino (Vogliazzo, 1988-90, p.29); the correlation between Muthesius' and Lino's writings triggered an already ongoing comparison, akin to the present proposal;_Será possível reconhecer nos textos de Raul Lino, nomeadamente nos livros publicados em 1918 e 1933, características de um tratado de arquitectura moderno, a inícios do século XX?Estabelecendo paralelos com o texto “inaugural” de Alberti (Choay, [1980], p.25), elaboramos um princípio de análise, de momento mais funcional que de conceitos, destes dois livros de Raul Lino sobre a problemática do projecto da casa moderna. Partindo dos cinco verificadores de propriedade tratadística de Choay, estabelecemos uma comparação estrutural entre os tratados de Vitrúvio e de Alberti e estes textos de Raul Lino; a partir de Krüger (2011), sublinhamos outros aferidores de forma e sistemática, mas também de objecto, objectivo e enquadramento.Lavrando ambos no âmbito da teoria do projecto “da moderna casa económica” (Lino, 1933, p.51), será possível considerar que o livro de 1918 é mais vitruviano, próximo de um “livro […] de composição arquitectónica” (Vogliazzo, 1988-90)[1] com recomendações construtivas em jeito de manual prático; o livro de 1933 aproxima-se da ‘inauguração’ albertiana, propondo uma teoria artística-arquitectónica em torno de um sistema de ‘virtudes’; mas este último é também mais “comentador” (Choay,[1980]), abrindo passo ao “protesto”(Lino, 1933, p.96) em tempos de crítica e manifestos.[1] Vogliazzo considera que, “para além de Le Corbusier, os últimos verdadeiros livros de composição arquitectónica ”foram escritos por Hermann Muthesius e Raul Lino (Vogliazzo, 1988-90, p.29); a relação entre textos de Muthesius e Lino é mote para um paralelo, em desenvolvimento, análogo à presente proposta;
