Makedonský fenomén a česká slavistika

Author(s): Ivo Pospíšil / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Slovanská Makedonie je zakládající fenomén mezinárodní slavistiky. Má výrazný diachronní rozměr, jenž je právem spojován se staroslověnštinou a Ochridským kulturním centrem, k němuž se hlásí jak dnešní Makedonie, tak Bulharsko. I když makedonský jazyk nepatří ani mezi slovanskými k největším co do počtu mluvčích, je důležitou součástí jihoslovanské jazykové skupiny, rozvíjí se, obohacuje a vytváří umělecké, esteticky a poeticky hodnotná umělecká díla.

Antonín Frinta a počátky pražské makedonistiky (1884–1979)

Author(s): Ivan Dorovský / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

V makedonské slavistické vědě se bohužel stále šíří několik mýtů, mezi nimi mýtus o první univerzitě v Evropě, kterou založil Kliment Ochridski, a o tom, že počátky pražské (československé) makedonistiky jsou spjaty s Antonínem Frintou (14. 6. 1884–21. 11. 1975). Přirozeně že jako mýty jsou buď nepravdivé, nebo vyjadřují pouze částečnou pravdu. Mýtus o první univerzitě na Balkáně a v Evropě tu nebudu rozebírat, protože pojednávám o tom jinde. Pouze pro klid duše podotýkám, že šiřitelé tohoto mýtu vůbec neberou v úvahu, že soluňští bratři Konstantin a Metoděj studovali na magnaurské vysoké škole v Konstantinopoli. A pokud jde o prof. Antonína Frintu, nebyl první, kdo se zajímal o makedonský jazyk. Jeho přenášky o spisovné makedonštině, o nichž se ještě podrobněji zmíním, byly završením etapy zesíleného zájmu o vše, co bylo spjato s Makedonií a zároveň začátkem nové etapy odlišného pohledu na makedonskou problematiku.

The Term “Film Music” against the Background of the Research on Music Preferences of Czech University Students to Artificial Music of the First Two-Thirds of the 20th Century

Author(s): Ondřej Musil / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The introduction of this contribution is focused on a classification of film music and its theoretical, aesthetical and general artistic bases. The main part of the paper deals with partial results of a research on the music preferences conducted by the Department of Music at the Faculty of Education at Masaryk University. Concretely, it was an analysis of free answers given from the respondents, who did an assessment of chosen music samples in an audio questionnaire, where representatives of the „neo-styles“ as well as the avant-garde turned up. Many answers referred to parallels between classical and film music. On basis of the results some possible reasons was set out, that might be responsible for the mentioned similarities. All is followed with music samples from both areas of music production, purposefully chosen in order to compare similar ways of composing.

My Memories: An Interview about the Early Days of Videoconferencing

Author(s): Janice de Haaff / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In the early days before smart phones, social media, and iPads, TESL teachers at AU were divided into two camps in their ideas of IT in language classes – those who were comfortable with modern technology and those who were concerned cables, cameras and screens would negatively transform the learning/teaching environment. I sat somewhere in‑between but when, shortly after a Diverse Conference (Developing Innovative Visual Educational Resources for Students Everywhere), an enthusiastic teacher at MU asked me if I was interested in bringing our classes together via videoconference, enthusiasm surpassed concern and I became part of the techie group. Both of us agreed lectures and presentations were not something we wanted in our ‘undivided’ (or divided by distance only) classroom. We intended to create a unique environment where students could interact with each other and not use this unique VC environment for Q & As after a presentation or lecture.

The Role of Videoconferencing in Language Learning – A Sociopragmatic Approach

Author(s): Andrea Koblížková,Zuzana Bezdíčková / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The authors take a sociopragmatic approach to their use of videoconferencing. The feedback from their programme reveals not only the linguistic challenges of using English as a Lingua Franca but also the socio-cultural challenges inherent in exchanges between students from different countries and cultural backgrounds as well as at different stages of linguistic and emotional development. The programme contributes to raising students’ awareness of related issues and practical workarounds. It also shows how videoconferencing can open an international window while maximising the reassurance of a familiar setting in order to minimise the shock of the new.

Developing Research Writing by Videoconference

Author(s): John Morgan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The author outlines a detailed range of practical measures to ensure the success of using videoconferencing to develop research writing. The examples given highlight the technical challenges, but effective solutions and measures are presented. Clear parameters are listed and explained in using videoconferencing, and the importance of grounding parameters such as co-presence, visibility and audibility is stressed. The importance of establishing a community focus of support with both students and teachers can help with key issues of giving, receiving and acting on feedback. The article features detailed feedback from students on the effectiveness of the programme.

This chapter provides an overview and helpful checklist to maximise the added value and quality of courses for all stakeholders.

Ústav slavistiky: východiska a perspektivy

Author(s): Ivo Pospíšil / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

K desetiletému jubileu Ústavu slavistiky Filozofické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity jsme vydali brožuru , která sumarizovala dosavadní vývoj pracoviště, jež sice vzniklo až v polovině 90. let 20. století, ale od založení druhé české univerzity vlastně nikdy nepřestalo existovat, byť pod různými názvy. Původní Slovanský seminář byl zakládajícím pracovištěm nově založené Masarykovy univerzity a její Filozofické fakulty. Slavistické obory byly vždy chápány jako něco podstatného, ale také jako politikum: to byla a je výhoda, ale současně nevýhoda. Neboť přináší na jedné straně podněty, impulsy metodologické a názorové povahy, na straně druhé uvádějí široký obor do souvislostí, které jsou obtížné a mohou nutit formulovat některé závěry předčasně, spěšně, a tudíž nepřesně nebo nesprávně.

Ukrajinistika na Masarykově univerzitě

Author(s): Halina Myronova / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Je známo, že ukrajinistika v české kultuře má dlouhou, skoro dvousetletou tradici, jejíž počátky jsou spojeny zejména s reakcí řady významných představitelů českého národa na ukrajinské obrozenecké hnutí (např. F. Palacký, P. J. Šafařík, K. Havlíček Borovský aj.). Začátek minulého století se v tehdejším společném státě Čechů a Slováků vyznačoval prohloubeným vědeckým zájmem o studium ukrajinského jazyka, což souviselo s připojením Podkarpatské Rusi k Československu. Především za podpory prezidenta T. G. Masaryka byl v roce 1922 založen Slovanský ústav, jehož jedna komise měla za cíl studium jazyka, kultury a ekonomiky Slovenska a Podkarpatské Rusi.

Robert Konečný a jeho písemná pozůstalost v univerzitním archivu

Author(s): Jiří Pulec / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

In January 2018, Masaryk University archives obtained an extensive written estate of Robert Konečný (1906–1981), an associate professor of philosophy and professor of psychology at Masaryk University, the pioneer of health-care psychology in Czechoslovakia, a poet and author, and a major figure of resistance to Nazism. Robert Konečný’s personal files, which belong among the best preserved items in the university archives, were organized and made accessible during 2018. Extensive correspondence mainly includes collections of letters from key figures of Czech literature, philosophy and psychology. A remarkable part of the estate consists of texts of Konečný’s lectures and speeches as well as documents on his educational activity in radio and television broadcasting. The files also represent a valuable source for the study of resistance to Nazism in Moravia. An extensive set of manuscripts, typescripts and prints from the fields of psychology, philosophy and literature can serve as a basis for the preparation of Konečný’s bibliography.

Статистическото мислене – средство за по-добра видимост в информационната мъгла

Author(s): Margarita Lambova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Reasoning is presented related to the need to rethink statistics education in order to create an opportunity to form statistical thinking as a mandatory element of the thought process of a free and informed person and thus overcome the problem of "numerical blindness" in society. It is concluded that the main reason preventing the creation of skills that can be qualified as statistical thinking is the patterning of statistics education by teaching ready-made "recipes" for the mechanical application of statistical methods "piecemeal", detached from the requirements and the logic of statistical methodology.

MANIFESTAREA TOLERANȚEI LA INCERTITUDINE ȘI A STIMEI DE SINE A STUDENȚILOR

Author(s): Galina Pravițchi,Emilia Vorobiov / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The research of tolerance to uncertainty and self-esteem as an individual predisposition to report to complex social and professional situations is particularly current and important in the context of the pandemic that revealed several psychological problems. The psycho-emotional well-being of the population is interpreted as the way the person perceives himself, evaluates his life, the way he feels and activates on a personal and social level. This interpretation has changed during the pandemic crisis. Young people mention that in moments of uncertainty their safety is affected, which leads them to make impulsive, anxiety-filled choices. Respectively, self-esteem undergoes changes with the confrontation of situations full of uncertainty. A high level of self-esteem allows people to act effectively, to cope with the difficulties of existence.
