{"title":"Bringing Order Out of Chaos: Stanisław August Poniatowski’s Political Patronage of Architectural Classicism in the Late Eighteenth-Century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth","authors":"Mikołaj Getka-Kenig","doi":"10.1080/14790963.2019.1624462","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14790963.2019.1624462","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This article examines the political uses of classical architecture in the late eighteenth-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It focuses specifically on the direct connection between the rise of the classical idiom on the eve of the collapse of the Commonwealth and the ill-fated idea of political recuperation of the deteriorating and dysfunctional state under the aegis of King Stanisław August Poniatowski (r. 1764–95). In particular, it outlines the extent and character of Polish-Lithuanian architectural classicism’s political engagement in the last decades of the eighteenth century. It also underscores the specific role of this architectural idiom as a political symbol and instrument of propaganda, which served to represent the idea of restoring political order to the Commonwealth and building a strong and self-sustaining political community headed by the king. Finally, it presents a selection of characteristic buildings and publications that contributed to this political discourse, and examines the ways classical architecture retained a political importance in the immediate aftermath of the destruction of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795.","PeriodicalId":41396,"journal":{"name":"Central Europe","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91052203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The book’s conclusion builds on the ‘coda’ sections of each part, which take a more personal, almost ‘psychogeographic’ tone in their reflections of the author’s experience at each site. Here, Rapson draws on Sebald’s writing about place and memory to reinforce her earlier arguments around mediation and remediation of memory through landscape, the transnational, cosmopolitan, interconnected nature of memory exchange, and the importance of the ecocritical perspective. The three sites are united in the frequently evoked trope of the disrupted pastoral. While this trope elides the always problematic nature of humans’ relationship with nature, the power of the ‘mobilization of [. . .] affectivity in memorial landscapes’ (p. 196) is clear, and the mourning involved may be put to productive ends. The book ends on a discussion of Sebald’s work as a way of accessing an ‘ecocentric view of the Holocaust’ (p. 197), providing a compelling conclusion to the case studies that draws together the complex connections between ecology, genocide, modernity and cultural memory.","PeriodicalId":41396,"journal":{"name":"Central Europe","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88349606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rampley","doi":"10.1080/14790963.2018.1498582","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14790963.2018.1498582","url":null,"abstract":"so much the result of commander Lothar von Trotha’s premeditated genocidal intentions, but rather the consequence of multiple previous military blunders and failures on part of the German forces. Only after the Herero had successfully escaped an open engagement with von Trotha’s forces by fleeing into the desert did the German commander decide on the genocidal tactic of closing down all escape routes from the Omaheke (pp. 47–51). Because of its highly original focus on Germany’s three colonial wars, it is somewhat odd that in the book’s introduction Kuss feels the need to essentially describe and define her work as merely an intervention in the ‘From Windhoek to Auschwitz’ debate. This debate was initiated by scholars such as Jürgen Zimmerer and Benjamin Madley in the early 2000s, and Isabel Hull’s Absolute Destruction (2004) can also be viewed as an at least indirect contribution to this discussion. Madley and Zimmerer argued for straight lines from the atrocities committed in Germany’s colonies before the First World War (especially in Namibia) to the Holocaust. The debate sparked by these scholars stimulated a renewed and fruitful engagement of historians with German colonial history, yet it also quickly became clear that the assumed continuities and causalities between the genocide in Namibia and the Holocaust could not be substantiated. Kuss’s study, too, leaves no doubt that such continuities did not exist, yet historians Robert Gerwarth and Matthew Fitzpatrick had already made this abundantly clear before even the publication of the original German version of Kuss’s account. The English version of Kuss’s study could therefore have benefited from a more substantial rewrite of the original introduction. The new English version should have stressed the study’s originality rather than reengaging with ultimately unconvincing arguments of a long-settled debate. The main reason why Kuss’s study does not need this by now rather stale debate as backdrop is its uniqueness. Kuss’s analysis of Germany’s colonial wars, which in all three cases is based on a meticulous reading of the existing source materials, stands on its own and is a major contribution to the scholarship on pre-1914 German colonial and metropolitan history.","PeriodicalId":41396,"journal":{"name":"Central Europe","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81139012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Institutions and Falsified Culture in the Novel Evening Act by Croatian Writer Pavao Pavličić","authors":"Sanja Franković","doi":"10.1080/14790963.2018.1496600","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14790963.2018.1496600","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT `In one area of his prose work, the Croatian writer Pavao Pavličić belongs to a group of writers in the 1970s who used a fantastic narrative model and thematized irrational parallel worlds as opposed to a realist model of narration. Pavličić’s novel Evening Act (published as Večernji akt in 1981) has a realistic beginning, but it slips into fantastic narration when the main character, a young man called Mihovil, discovers his ability to falsify documents and works of art. At the same time, he is capable of recognizing falsified art works and documents that are accepted as an integral part of social, cultural, and historical memory. When this ability becomes dangerous, Mihovil falsifies his own body to escape from his unbearable reality. This paper will analyse the function of the fantastic model in Pavličić’s novel as a postmodern play with traditions of Croatian and world literature and culture. The ludic layer of the novel has a highly symbolic value: it draws attention to the relationship of cultural institutions and society to the authenticity of art works, the role of art, and ways of preserving (or destroying) cultural memory.","PeriodicalId":41396,"journal":{"name":"Central Europe","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77591322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
