Abstract:
The non-decreasing relevance of the topic of the article can be seen through annual publications in “Bulletin of Higher Education Institutions” and specialized journals on national history and ethnology that were dedicated to the history of the East Slavic paticipalities and related ethnic groups. As a rule, they contain contradictory consequences of understanding the number of anthroponyms and ethnonyms. The aim of the article is to introduce new data into scientific circulation and clarify the interpretations available in Russian history and ethnology. The unmentioned lexicographic and bibliographic data are used and subjected to a comparative historical review. The assumption made in the article about the semantic identity of exoethnonyms-petrificates Burtas, Vet’ke, Suvas should be taken into account by the authors of future publications on the history of Eastern Europe.

Abstract:
How did the Lithuanian patriarch Jonas Basanavičius inspire the nation with his scientific research? The idea as a movement and development of science fits into the problem of nationalism in the history of the Russian Empire and European science. My aim is to analyse Basanavičius’ studies, ideas and research into the Lithuanian nation in the fields of anthropology, ethnology and ethnography from 1879 to 1927. I argue that German ethnology may have influenced Basanavičius’ theoretical concept of nation studies. In my analysis, I focus on the following issues: (1) the projects of the Science Society in Lietuviška Ceitunga, Aušra, Varpas and other publications; (2) research in biological anthropology; (3) studies of ethnology and ethnography; (4) collecting antiques; (5) ‘ethnographic’ fellowship; (6) the national research programme; and (7) studies of the Lithuanian nation. Key words: cultural nationalism, Europe, Jonas Basanavičius, Lithuanian Science Society, Russian Empire, Völkerkunde.

Abstract:
To mark Lithuania’s centenary, this issue is dedicated to the genesis of anthropology, ethnology, ethnography and folklore. This interdisciplinary issue covers the history of ideas, or the science of ideas in the 19th and early 20th centuries and beyond. Lithuanian scientists who graduated from universities in the Russian Empire and Europe developed theoretical concepts of Enlightenment in the humanities and the social sciences. The emerging study of Lithuania integrated and interpreted the concepts of ethnic research that prevailed in Europe and Imperial Russia at that time. Using a comparative approach, the thematic articles reveal the links between the genesis of Lithuanian ethnology and anthropology, and the research into ethnic groups in the Russian Empire, the Other, the study of people and nations in the West, and the ideas of Völkerkunde. The focus is on the following issues: the reception of ethnography and Lithuanian studies, the comparative study of people and nations, and ideas of nationalism. Key words: сultural nationalism, Lithuania, nation-building, nation, science societies.

AbstractThe present article examines the twofold material provided by analyses of the borderline between the ethnology of religion and the history of folk art. It refers first of all to the etiological legends of holy images venerated in Central and Eastern Europe in the post-tridentine period, and secondly to folk holy images, in particular woodcut prints, self-declared as "true images," which were widespread until the last century, and richly represented in Polish folk piety.

SA-BAS is a specialized unit and has its place and importance in the structure of the Academy: provides the Bulgarian scientific community with a complete resource base reflecting all aspects of society's development in different historical periods – one of the main tasks of any archive. The cultural heritage, preserved in SA-BAS, fits well in the international priorities of European science and culture. Documentary sources provoke the development of research tasks in various fields: political and cultural history, art history, geography and cartography, geology, archeology, ethnology, etc. The obtained results are of great interest not only among the Bulgarian scientific community. This is the contribution of the Academic Archive to the cultural diversity of Europe and the world in historical and contemporary terms.

Abstract:
Nils Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld (1832–1901), a Finnish Swedish scientist and explorer, made three expeditions to the North Asian coast between 1875 and 1879. He completed ten expeditions to the Arctic region between 1858 and 1883. The unifying goal of the North Asian expeditions was to open a trade route between Europe and Siberia. As a scientist, Nordenskiöld also studied the flora, fauna, geology, geography, hydrology, meteorology, ethnology, and history, and produced charts of this unfamiliar territory. This article argues that Nordenskiöld used his skills of environmental literacy when he combined the commercial and scientific goals of his expeditions. He also had the ability to deal with the environment in practical and rational terms, which I argue is also one expression of environmental literacy.

Abstract:
Abstract The present article represents a partial outcome of a larger project that focuses on the history of the beginnings of anthropology as an organized science at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries, in the broader socio-political context of Central Europe. Attention is focused especially on the nationalist and social competitions that had an important impact upon intellectual developments, but in turn were influenced by the activities of scholars and their public activities. The case study of Vojtěch (Alberto) Frič, traveler and amateur anthropologist, who in the first two decades of the twentieth century presented to European scientific circles and the general public in the Czech Lands his magnanimous vision of the comparative study of religions, serves as a starting point for considerations concerning the general debates on the purpose, methods, and ethical dimensions of ethnology as these were resonating in Central European academia of the period under study.

Abstract:
The article presents a problematic survey of journals in folklore, ethnology and anthropology. Starting from the very first publications, launched as early as the end of the 19th century, the author discusses their global panorama and general situation until nowadays, concentrating also on some essential theoretical and interdisciplinary issues in this field of humanities. Particular attention is paid to the journals published in the Eastern Europe (former “Soviet” countries), and especially – in the Baltic countries. Finally, the author concludes that in spite of radical social and cultural changes, many of the journals could survive until nowadays, and that they are necessary and useful. Still, he notes the lack of new “revolutionary” theories and methodologies, and calls for discussing the shape and direction that these periodicals should take.

Abstract:
AbstractIn spite of recent calls for the decolonisation of Czech and Slovak academia, there is still relatively little reflection of post-colonial theory in either Czech or Slovak historiography or related disciplines, including ethnology and Slavic studies. In the following essay I summarise the local discussion of coloniality and colonialism that has been going on since at least the end of the 2000s, while pointing out its conceptual limits and blind spots; namely the persistence of ‘colonial exceptionalism’ and the lack of understanding and use of race as an analytical tool. In dialogue with critical race theory as well as recent literature that deals with comparable ‘non-colonial’ or ‘marginal-colonial’ contexts such as South-Eastern Europe, Poland and the Nordic countries, I discuss how the local debates relating to colonial history as well as the post-colonial / post-socialist present of both countries would benefit from embracing the concept of ‘colonial exceptionalism’ and from including concepts of race and ‘whiteness’ as important tools of a critical analysis.

Abstract:
The article analyses the conceptual apparatus of semiotics of modern European history. The social sciences, unlike the natural sciences, which deal with realities that do not call themselves, deal with the phenomena of human life. Names change in time and space without any connection to the immanent changes of things themselves, which indicates a persistent search for an adequate name for many things and signs. Historical meanings become the main subject of semiotic analysis. History becomes a way of scientific reconstruction of the past. In historical science, facts, signs and symbols come through individual and collective memory. Various narratives are a treasure trove of semiotic meanings. Texts in different contexts give different semantics. Everyone is a participant in this exciting process, the end result of which, in principle, is not. Under these circumstances, the analysis of instability becomes more important than finding a "fulcrum". This thesis is especially important for the mosaic history of the peoples of Europe. Communism and fascism are united not only by totalitarian practices but also by political "syntax", while liberalism in general is a different political language. Every event starts at the information level. Postmodernism leads to anti-intellectual pre-modern thinking. Semantic boundaries between categories are blurred; they are flexible, open to change and constant socio-economic transformation. The self-consciousness of the modern era was based on the achievements of economics and classical sociology, which promoted the values of a single universal progress for all mankind. Postmodern self-consciousness is based on the principles of cultural anthropology and ethnology, of sciences that emphasize the heterogeneity of the socio-cultural field of mankind. Historical semiotics works with stereotypes of perception of signs and symbols, decodes them and adapts them for scientific use

Abstract:
La première partie de cette thèse est consacrée à une lecture novatrice des arts de la mémoire de la tradition occidentale. À partir de l’étude des dynamiques propres au champ visuel des représentations mnémoniques, nous avons pu développer un modèle de mémorisation se fondant sur des relations rythmiques entre images et mots. Ces arts nous sont alors apparus comme des techniques qui, tout en conduisant à l’établissement d’une tradition, forgent de véritables outils pour la pensée. Cette perspective focalisée sur la notion de rythme, nous a permis de saisir la projection possible des règles des arts de la mémoire sur un domaine nouveau : le geste liturgique. L’acte rituel, dans sa dynamique propre, devient un des supports de la mise en place d’un système mnémonique. C’est ainsi que nous avons pu élargir le concept d’art de la mémoire au delà de l’Occident et explorer le rôle que les arts de la mémoire jouent dans le contact culturel, notamment en Amérique dans le Yucatan colonial, comme en témoignent ces grands textes mayas que sont les livres de Chilam Balam. La dernière partie de cette thèse se veut un tout premier développement de cette piste d’étude. L’analyse que nous y avons conduite d’une interprétation de la symbologie de la Messe, à laquelle il est fait allusion dans le livre de Chilam Balam de Kaua, permet d’ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles dans les études consacrées aux processus de la traduction culturelle et, tout particulièrement, aux modalités de l’établissement d’un « nouveau » patrimoine de représentations et de croyances religieuses au sein de sociétés qui se situent à la frontière entre deux traditions, comme celle du Yucatan de l’époque coloniale
The first part of this thesis has been dedicated to a new approach in the reading the arts of memory in its western translation. From the study of those dynamics specific to the visual field of mnemonic representations, I was able to develop a memorisation model based on the rhythmic relations between images and words. Those arts thus seemingly like techniques that lead to the establishment of a tradition while forging anthentic tools for thought. This perspective focused on the notion of rhythm enabled me to reach out for the possible projection of the rules of these arts of memory in to a new domain: the lithurgical gesture. The ritual act in its own dynamic becomes one of the bases of the establishment of a mnemonic system. I was thus able to expand the concept of memory arts beyond the "western culture" and explore the role that the arts of memory play in cultural contact, expecially in America, in the colonial areaof Yucatan. In this matter, the books of Chilam Balam (one of the most important Mayan testimonials of the colonial epoca) has been crucial. The final part of this thesis is intended as a first development of this study track. The analysis I conducted on an interpretation of the symbology of Mass which can be found in the book of Chilam Balam of Kaua enabled me to open new perspectives in the field of studies dedicated to cultural translation processes and, in particular, to the modalities of establishment of a "new" heritage of representations and religious beliefs within societies - such as the yucatan one in the colonial epoca - located at the boundaries of two traditions

Abstract:
Through close textual analysis of 20th century Czech anthropological texts from the Revivalist and Socialist periods and contemporary social research conducted after the Velvet Revolution, I demonstrate certain prominent discourses of identity developed in early Bohemian anthropology and their continuities in present day popular discourses. In each period, identity is deeply intertwined with teleological theories of history with Czech populations at the apex of cultural evolutionary development. In the Revivalist period this apex was believed to be the democratic nation state, transitioning to a Marxist nation state in the Socialist period, and in the contemporary period is conceived of as a neoliberal nation state. A major function of anthropology in the Revivalist and Socialist periods was to legitimate either period’s respective teleological theory and Czech possession of relevant values as 'objective' and 'natural' fact, a general mode of discourse which continued in the contemporary period in numerous editorials in the 1990s on the advantages of capitalism. The contemporary manifestation has particularly noteworthy consequences for the Roma minority, which I argue has provided Czech discourses with an ethnic category 'anti-thetical' to their own identity, providing a 'repository' for negative Czech self-stereotypes emerging from collaboration in the Socialist period.

Abstract:
À la fin du Solutréen supérieur, un groupe particulier, le Salpêtrien, se développe en Languedoc (France) autour de 19000 BP. Défini en 1964 par Max Escalon de Fonton à la grotte de la Salpêtrière (située près du Pont du Gard), le Salpêtrien est actuellement connu par deux autres gisements préhistoriques : La Rouvière à Vallon-Pont-d'Arc (Ardèche) et Cadenet à Gaujac (Gard). La définition de cette entité culturelle repose sur l'absence de la retouche plate solutréenne et la focalisation de la production sur un outil spécifique : la pointe à cran à retouche abrupte de type méditerranéen.
Ce travail tente d'apporter un regard technologique sur les méthodes de débitage, grâce à l'analyse de l'ensemble des témoins lithiques conservés dans les sites du Solutréen supérieur et du Salpêtrien ancien en Languedoc. La structuration technique de l'industrie salpêtrienne et les objectifs de débitage sont ainsi clairement définis. Le rapport qu'entretient le Salpêtrien avec le Solutréen est éclairci du point de vue technologique.
L'analyse fournit donc des éléments supplémentaires quant à la caractérisation du Salpêtrien. Elle nourrit également le débat sur la filiation culturelle entre Solutréen supérieur et Salpêtrien en Languedoc, mais aussi à l'échelle de l'Europe méditerranéenne.

Full text
Abstract:
Feiz ha Breiz était un hebdomadaire catholique et monarchiste entièrement rédigé en breton et publié sous le patronage de l'évêque de Quimper. Cet organe de presse s'inscrit dans le mouvement des Semaines Religieuses mais s'en différencie partiellement par la multitude des sujets qui y sont traités. Ainsi, pendant 19 ans (1865-1884), ce journal nous offre sa vision d'un monde en pleine mutation avec le développement de la société industrielle, scientifique et démocratique mais aussi le formidable essor des missions catholiques et la reprise de l'expansion coloniale française qui amènent ce journal à présenter des populations jusque-là inconnues à ses lecteurs. Héritiers de la tradition chrétienne, les rédacteurs de Feiz ha Breiz doivent se positionner face aux théories scientifiques évolutionnistes et racialistes développées par des savants majoritairement républicains et athées. Combattue en Europe, l'Eglise se développe outre-mer durant cette période et les missionnaires sont les instruments héroïques de l'annonce de l'Évangile et par conséquent du salut de millions d'âmes. En montrant la barbarie des peuples infidèles, Feiz ha Breiz entend démontrer la véracité de l'axiome « hors de l'Eglise, point de salut » et mettre en évidence les périls qui guettent l'Europe chrétienne si elle se détourne de l'Eglise. La période de Feiz ha Breiz étant aussi celle où la France du Second Empire et de la IIIe République commence à se tailler un empire colonial, ce journal ne manque donc pas de nous éclairer sur « l'alliance du sabre et du goupillon », pour reprendre une formule célèbre.

Abstract:

The second French colonial empire (1830-1962) challenged soldiers, scholars, and administrators to understand societies radically different from their own so as to govern them better. Overlooking the contributions of many of these colonial officials, most historians have located the genesis of the French social theory used to understand these differences in the hallowed halls of Parisian universities and research institutes. This dissertation instead argues that colonial experience and study drove metropolitan theory. Through a contextualized examination of the published and unpublished writings and correspondence of key thinkers who bridged the notional metropolitan-colonial divide, this dissertation reveals intellectual networks that produced knowledge of societies in North and West Africa and contemplated the nature of colonial rule. From General Louis Faidherbe in the 1840s to politician Jacques Soustelle and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu in the 1950s, a succession of soldiers and administrators engaged in dialogue with their symbiotic colonial sources to translate indigenous ideas for a metropolitan audience and humanize French rule in Africa. Developing ideas in part from a reading of native African written and oral sources, these particular colonial thinkers conceived of social structure and race in civilizational terms, placing peoples along a temporally-anchored developmental continuum that promised advancement along a unique pathway if nurtured by a properly adapted program of Western intervention. This perspective differed significantly from the theories proposed by social scientists such as Emile Durkheim, who described "primitivity" as a stage in a unilinear process of social evolution. French African political and social structures incorporated elements of this intellectual direction by the mid-twentieth century, culminating in the attempt by Jacques Soustelle to govern Algeria with the assistance of ethnological institutions. At the same time, Pierre Bourdieu built on French ethnological ideas in an empirically grounded and personally contingent alternative to the dominant structuralist sociological and anthropological perspective in France.

Approached as an interdisciplinary study, this dissertation considers colonial knowledge from a number of different angles. First, it is a history of French African ethnology viewed through a biographical and microhistorical lens. Thus, it reintroduces the variance in the methods and interpretations employed by individual scholars and administrators that was a very real part of both scientific investigation and colonial rule. Race, civilization, and progress were not absolutes; definitions and sometimes applications of these terms varied according to local and personal socio-cultural context. This study also considers the evolution of French social theory from a novel perspective, that of the amateur fieldworker in the colonies. Far from passive recipients of metropolitan thought, these men (and sometimes women) actively shaped metropolitan ideas on basic social structure and interaction as they emerged. In the French science de l'homme, intellectual innovation came not always from academics in stuffy rooms, but instead from direct interaction and dialogue with the subjects of study themselves.

Abstract:
Museums are places of contest and revelation. Ethnographic objects have been too simply perceived as the trophies of colonial conquest, appropriated from Indigenous makers and owners and kept in European museums. Through a detailed examination of three European museums’ collections of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander holdings, the thesis argues that a multi-dimensional reading of the museums and their collections offers a more nuanced understanding for both museums and Indigenous source communities. It shows that colonial power alone is insufficient to explain the variations found between these museum collections. Nor does a singular colonial view describe the complexities of exchange that occurred in the process of making the collections, nor the diversity of influences and motivations that inspired both museums and collectors. This thesis outlines how many of the collectors, including government officials, missionaries and social scientists, worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people towards the understanding, recognition and preservation of their culture. They often acted with mixed motivations, at times regardless of perceived colonial interests. This study focuses on cultural material in three European museums: Musee du quai Branly, Paris; The British Museum, London; and Ethnologisches Museum, Berlin. It has two key themes. One theme explores similarities and differences between respective museums with reference to the nature and development of their collections. The other theme examines the classification and treatment of objects by museums. It does so by researching the histories of the collections, their collectors, their displays, and the role of art and ideas in the museums’ development. The thesis traces developments from the nineteenth century, when Aboriginal people were classified as a society with the most 'prim itive' of cultures, to more recent times, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art is displayed in major art galleries around the world as fine art. This metamorphosis is followed through these three European museums and reveals each country’s significantly different approaches, which have transformed over time. A more multi-faceted understanding of cultural material and the museums that house it offers new opportunities for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

Abstract:
This chapter takes the reader deep into the nineteenth-century afterlife of the Classical construction of nature, the wild, and the primitive and civilized, foundational to Victorian ideas of progress and to the nascent sciences that claimed the study of humanity as their own. It shows how the Natural History Courts of London’s Crystal Palace presented the marvels of ethnology and natural history, and how these displays were received in the context of nineteenth-century social evolutionist thought, which was itself built upon Classical foundations such as the account of primitive man in Lucretius’ De rerum natura. Against the Courts’ taxidermic dioramas of ‘savage life’, the ethnological casts displayed to the Victorian public prompted comparative questions about the evolutionary status of the non-European Other, while the ‘primitive’ nakedness of the casts created further parallels with the idealized nudity of Greek and Roman sculpture casts, engendering destabilizing dissonance with the connotations of civilization inscribed in the Classical ideal.

Abstract:
Any one of several organic analogies, particularly that of the Tree of Knowledge, might usefully serve as the leitmotif of this volume, and to help justify our choice of the plural in its title—‘Histories of Archaeology’, as opposed to the singular case prefaced with The or A. ‘Trees of Knowledge’ and/or ‘Development’ were widely used to portray nineteenth- and early twentieth-century knowledge systems, be they in architecture, languages, or race, and Pitt Rivers, for example, was especially fond of them. Trees can also symbolize the growth of disciplines. Archaeology had its roots in antiquarianism, history, philology, ethnology, geology, and natural history generally. From this grew the trunk that eventually branched out into various sub-disciplines (e.g. biblical, Roman, medieval, scientific, and ‘new’ archaeology). The great meta-narratives of the history of archaeology have followed this approach, with ‘archaeological thought’ or ‘archaeological ideas’ having a common inheritance or ancestry in nineteenth- century positivist European science. From this main rootstock, it eventually branched into subdivisions and out into the world at large, fostering offspring archaeologies differentiated by geography, tradition, subfield, or time period (Daniel 1975; Trigger 1989). Our aim in this volume, and that of much of recent archaeological historiography, is to challenge this meta-narrative and to demonstrate that there has been a great deal more variability of thought and practice in the Weld than has been acknowledged. In this context we think that Kroeber’s ‘Tree of Life/Culture’ (1948) is a more accurate visualization of the growth of archaeology. Instead of just branching ‘naturally’, Kroeber’s branches have the capacity to grow back on themselves and coalesce in the way that ‘thought’, ‘subjects’, and/or ‘institutions’/‘networks’ do. Yet Kroeber’s model still relies on a single main trunk. If applied to the history of archaeology it would not distinguish, for example, that antiquarianism did not conveniently die out with the advent of archaeology as a discipline, and that its history and development has always involved multiple strands—in essence the existence of other possibilities and practices. We intend this volume to stimulate the exploration of these other possible archaeologies, past, present, and future, and to help us acknowledge that the creation of world archaeologies, and the multiplication of interests and objectives among both the producers and consumers of archaeological knowledge, will drive the creation of still further variability.

Atkinson, Dan, and Alex Hale, eds. From Source to Sea: ScARF Marine and Maritime Panel Report. Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, September 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.9750/scarf.09.2012.126.

Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under four headings: 1. From Source to Sea: River systems, from their source to the sea and beyond, should form the focus for research projects, allowing the integration of all archaeological work carried out along their course. Future research should take a holistic view of the marine and maritime historic environment, from inland lakes that feed freshwater river routes, to tidal estuaries and out to the open sea. This view of the landscape/seascape encompasses a very broad range of archaeology and enables connections to be made without the restrictions of geographical or political boundaries. Research strategies, programmes From Source to Sea: ScARF Marine and Maritime Panel Report iii and projects can adopt this approach at multiple levels; from national to site-specific, with the aim of remaining holistic and cross-cutting. 2. Submerged Landscapes: The rising research profile of submerged landscapes has recently been embodied into a European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action; Submerged Prehistoric Archaeology and Landscapes of the Continental Shelf (SPLASHCOS), with exciting proposals for future research. Future work needs to be integrated with wider initiatives such as this on an international scale. Recent projects have begun to demonstrate the research potential for submerged landscapes in and beyond Scotland, as well as the need to collaborate with industrial partners, in order that commercially-created datasets can be accessed and used. More data is required in order to fully model the changing coastline around Scotland and develop predictive models of site survival. Such work is crucial to understanding life in early prehistoric Scotland, and how the earliest communities responded to a changing environment. 3. Marine & Maritime Historic Landscapes: Scotland’s coastal and intertidal zones and maritime hinterland encompass in-shore islands, trans-continental shipping lanes, ports and harbours, and transport infrastructure to intertidal fish-traps, and define understanding and conceptualisation of the liminal zone between the land and the sea. Due to the pervasive nature of the Marine and Maritime historic landscape, a holistic approach should be taken that incorporates evidence from a variety of sources including commercial and research archaeology, local and national societies, off-shore and onshore commercial development; and including studies derived from, but not limited to history, ethnology, cultural studies, folklore and architecture and involving a wide range of recording techniques ranging from photography, laser imaging, and sonar survey through to more orthodox drawn survey and excavation. 4. Collaboration: As is implicit in all the above, multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross-sector approaches are essential in order to ensure the capacity to meet the research challenges of the marine and maritime historic environment. There is a need for collaboration across the heritage sector and beyond, into specific areas of industry, science and the arts. Methods of communication amongst the constituent research individuals, institutions and networks should be developed, and dissemination of research results promoted. The formation of research communities, especially virtual centres of excellence, should be encouraged in order to build capacity.
