His priority was to ensure that the Habsburgs inherited the throne of Bohemia, to support the Catholic faith to become the only denomination in the Bohemian Lands, and to ensure equality between the old (faithful, Catholic) nobles and the new nobility. However, the path to these goals, which were realized at a legal level with the issuing of the Renewed Land Ordinance (Obnovené zřízení zemské/ Verneuerte Landesordnung; 1627, 1628), was not easy and went through a number of tense moments, such as the execution of 27 rep-resentatives of the Bohemian Revolt and state bankruptcy caused by the systematic devaluation of silver coins. The present article attempts to answer the question of what was the role of Ferdinand II himself in these complicated processes, especially in the years immediately following his victory at the Battle of White Mountain (1620–1623), and in the context of political thought in the early 17 th century.","PeriodicalId":36082,"journal":{"name":"Opera Historica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43145273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"America's Racist Founding? An East-European View","authors":"Ivo Cerman","doi":"10.32725/oph.2021.006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32725/oph.2021.006","url":null,"abstract":"By now everybody must have heard about The 1619 Project of the New York Times Magazine and the recent push to reinterpret the American Revolution as a racist enterprise which aimed at preserving slavery.1 There is a difference between saying that the United States failed to abolish slavery at a federal level, and saying that it declared independence precisely to preserve slavery. It is one thing to claim that white racists who tortured a Black American war veteran in 1946 were betraying Jefferson’s ideals, and it is quite another thing to say they were acting on the basis of „the same racist ideology that Jefferson and the framers used as the nation’s founding.“2 The 1619 Project was a 100-page supplement to The New York Times magazine published in August 2019 to recall the 400 years since the arrival of the first Black slaves in the present-day USA. It includes an introductory essay by Nikole Hannah-Jones and ten short essays on various topics relating to slavery by multiple authors. In June 2020 it was followed by another supplement edited by Nikole Hannah-Jones that uses the historical narrative to justify reparations for Black Americans.3 Since then it has grown into an initiative that aims to reframe the entire history of the USA and make this reframed history the basis of school education. The narrative is also being imposed on historians. According to the New York Times Magazine, the preservation of slavery has been the main mission of the United States throughout its entire history. Hence the shift from 1776 to 1619, the year in which allegedly the first Black slaves arrived in the present-day USA. In the flowery language of the editor Jake Silverstein, this was the moment when the „seeds“ were planted, and the racist flower took its „roots“.4 This metaphorical language manipulates the reader into believing that everything in American history has been determined by its „seeds“, and there is no other remedy than uprooting the whole plant that has been growing since 1619. In the words of Jake Silverstein, the aim of The 1619 Project is „to reframe American history by considering what it would mean to regard 1619 as our nation’s birth year.“5","PeriodicalId":36082,"journal":{"name":"Opera Historica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42855972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the early days, most of the new pastors were Hungarians who came within the frameworks of the „Bohemian mission“: mostly Hungarian early-career pastors rushed to support the revival of the suffering Bohemian and Moravian Reformed communities.2 After the turn of the century, this strategy was abandoned and instead, Bohemian-Moravian students came to study at the Hungarian Reformed Colleges. In this way, this cross-border relationship between Central and Eastern Europe was preserved for decades and has permanently shaped the identity of Calvinists in both countries until now. Whereas the missionary work of the Hungarian pastors in Bohemia and Moravia has been amply researched,3 the impact of their missions on Hungary has been largely","PeriodicalId":36082,"journal":{"name":"Opera Historica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43671749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aristocrat acquired great skills in all arts, but was not a professional. He was an amateur who used art to express his membership of the grand monde by taking part in performances, by staging himself, and by knowing how to decipher all the social codes. We discuss his role as a diarist, as artist drawing pictures, as theatre actor and as collector of art. We show how the competition between aristocratic families motivated him to develop the spa of Teplice. We explore the role of drawing and letter-writing in his self-expression. If the professional lives by his art, amateurs like the Comte de Clary live by the arts. The requirements are different. The aristocrat seeks to construct and stage an identity where the nobleman becomes the artist of his own life by combining the imperative of social distinction with aesthetic pleasure.","PeriodicalId":36082,"journal":{"name":"Opera Historica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44764973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
