V první části textu autor představuje Nešporovu hypotézu, podle níž zakladatelé této obce byli východočeští toleranční sektáři. Druhá část studie se zabývá rozpory mezi Nešporovou hypotézou o původu této skupiny a přesvědčením jejích členů, že jsou potomky exulantů, kteří odešli po bitvě na Bílé hoře. Bere v úvahu, že podle Nešporova přesvědčení jsou tyto domněnky mylné. Ze sociálně antropologické perspektivy autor argumentuje, že „pokud lidé věří, že je něco pravda, pak to je pravda“, a tak jsou v tomto smyslu i členové dané obce skutečně potomky pobělohorských exulantů. Na obecné rovině je tato polemika myšlena jako ukázka rozdílných pozic mezi pozitivistickým přístupem, který sdílí (česká) etnologie a historiografie, a perspektivou sociálního konstruktivismu, který v tomto kontextu hájí rodící se česká sociální antropologie.

The book is an output of the project run under the auspices of National Geographic Society and the chapter, devoted to the situation of Gypsies/Roma in Czechoslovakia in late 1960s, is based on the sojourn of the author and huis team in the country and his cooperation with Jiří Lípa, then a leading specialist on Gypsies/Roma at the Czech Academy of Sciences. Partly, the chapter consist of excerpts from the (today perhaps lost) manuscript How we lived, written by Czech Sinto Václav Weinrich, who spent his childhood in an itinerant group of his relatives. The Czech translation of these parts offers (unfortunately only fragmentary) views into the life of travelling Sinti that ceased to exist already several decades ago.

The first one, that is not presented here, is a text "Memories of the life of Czechs who lived in Voyvodovo" written in Bulgarian by an inhabitant of the only Czech village in Bulgaria-Voyvodovo, and a neighbor of Voyvodovo Czechs, Bulgarian Božidar Popov, a son of the local Methodist pastor. The second layer-the core of the contribution-is a work of a Voyvodovo Czech and Popov's peer Barbora Čižková. She translated Popov's memoirs, or better to say she rather strongly interprets it and supplements it by her own commentaries and memoires. The last layer, written by the editor, is the analysis and commentary of the two preceding layers, each of them in itself and in mutual comparison. The contribution presents not only new information on history of Voyvodovo, but also a confrontation of Czech and Bulgarian views of the local Czech community.

Vojvodovo, a Czech village in north-western Bulgaria founded in 1900 by about twenty Czech evangelical families from the village of Svatá Helena in what is today the Romanian part of Banat, which they left because of religious disputes and a shortage of land. Although Bulgaria engaged in several armed conflicts in the first decades of the twentieth century, the village flourished economically and the population rose steadily during that period. Eventually, however, its economic prosperity, based almost exclusively on agriculture, was curtailed by a land shortage. As a result, some villagers emigrated to Argentina in 1928. By 1934/5 the village was again overcrowded and suffering serious land shortage. This time some of its inhabitants moved to the Turkish village of Belinci in north-eastern Bulgaria (Isperich region). The history of Czech settlement...

Dans cette conversation, Randi Haaland réfléchit sur son engagement extraordinaire et multiforme avec lʼarchéologie et lʼAfrique depuis plus de cinquante ans, à partir de son expérience formatrice dʼune jeune femme parmi les Four au Soudan au milieu des années 1960, en passant par ses recherches entre les paradigmes processuel et post-processuel, jusquʼaux programmes de renforcement des capacités quʼelle a initiés avec le soutien de lʼAgence norvégienne de coopération au développement (NORAD). Randi Haaland a créé sa voie unique dans lʼarchéologie de lʼAfrique. Cet entretien montre quʼelle a été la bonne voie vers une compréhension nouvelle et approfondie du passé humain, en particulier sur la culture culinaire, les débuts de la production alimentaire, le genre et la technologie.

The memoirs cover many aspects of the (ex)Vojvodovo villager's life in Bulgaria as well as in South Moravia, where almost all Vojvodovan Czechs and Slovaks settled after remigration following World War II. The edition is supplemented by informative commentaries and prefaced by a short introduction explaining the background to the manuscript in the context of the history of Vojvodovo and its Czech (ex)inhabitants.

The author argues that these discourses are different in principle and, therefore, should not be blended together or, more importantly, confused one for another. One specific ethnographic case is used to show that the two scholar discourses provide different perspectives, or more precisely, are based on various theoretical backgrounds. The ethnographic example is an issue of the collective identity of inhabitants of Voyvodovo, the only Czech village in Bulgaria, specifically their belief that they are descendants of the exiles after the 1620 White Mountain Battle. Texts of selected authors are analysed to compare the different approaches of ethnology and social anthropology. The ethnologists strive to reveal objective historical Truth, led by the principle of the positivist historiography, best characterised by Ranke’s ‘Wie es eigentlich gewesen?’ For them, if the beliefs and ...

Že daný žánr má čtenářům-a to zdaleka nejen úzkoprofilově zaměřeným odborníkům-rozhodně co nabídnout, přitom bezpochyby ukázal v rámci romisticky orientovaných bádání dosud patrně nejvýznamnější počin daného druhu, za který lze považovat vydání ab Hortisových Cigánů v Uhorsku. 2 Na uvedenou "laťku" přítomná edice nemíří, její rozsah jí to v principu ani nedovoluje, spíše naopak-v obecné poloze je jejím cílem ukázat, že i mnohem drobnější ediční dílka než ab Hortisův opus mohou poskytnout zajímavé informace či perspektivy, a to nejen historického, resp. dobového charakteru, ale i coby podnět pro aktuální (nejen) romistickou práci. AUTOR, DÍLO, KONTEXT Text, jehož edici níže přinášíme, byl publikován roku 1908 v rámci díla Jaroslava Vlacha Národové evropští. 3 J. Vlach byl profesí středoškolský pedagog působící na reálném gymnáziu na Smíchově, kde se věnoval výuce předmětů z oborů dějepis a zeměpis. Příznačně pro svou dobu gymnaziální profesor Vlach nejen, že sledoval dění v oboru jak doma, tak i v zahraničí, ale sám byl také poměrně plodným autorem. Pomineme-1

Although there was a plenty of contributions on this topic in scholarly journals recently, there are still some blind spots that remain uncovered by the scholars. One of these are the Vojvodovo Bulgarians, who were – since the 1920s – the second most numerous (!) group of Vojvodovo inhabitants. It is them, the local Vojvodovo Bulgarians, the neighbors of the Vojvodovo Czechs, whose identities, changing in the course of time, we describe in this study.

F Barth, 1969) in the modern study of ethnicity. General consensus goes that this work has a status of a founding work that developed a theoretical paradigm and model of ethnic groups, on which the study of ethnicity draws until today. This study critically reviews this reputation. The author, drawing on the works of authors who had published their works before Ethnic Groups and Boundaries, suggests that theoretical positions proposed by Barth and his colleagues in the famous book were not at all new by that time, neither were they considered novel by contemporary readers. Ethnic Groups and Boundaries acquired the status of a ground-breaking work, founding a new era of anthropological study of ethnicity only later, and not because of the results the book really provided, but rather thanks to statements about the ...

It addresses the question of why two minority communities in Northwest Bulgaria in the first half of 20th century – the Protestant Voyvodovo community and the Catholic community of Bărdarski Geran, both marked by a strong principle of religious endogamy, intermarried. The author maintains that the main reason why these two communities intermarried was – despite all the differences between them – their national indifference, a parameter that both communities shared. These marriages did not cross the ethno-national boundary (the communities were nationally indifferent and thus ethno-national borders did not divide them). Contrary to standard understandings of the concept of national indifference, the author emphasizes that national indifference can be said to have two sides. On the one hand, nationally indifferent groups represent those in which the “we-they” opposition does not f...

On Occasion of the 50 th Anniversary of Ethnic Groups and Boundaries. On the Occasion of the 50 th Anniversary of publishing Ethnic Groups and Boundaries: The Social Organization of Culture Difference, a work edited by Fredrik Barth, the author reflects on the reasons and causes of the renown and impact of the book that is today generally considered a key text in ethnic studies, be it in the anthropological or broader social-scientific discourse. As a starting point for the reevaluation the author takes a period view on the book, i.e. considers the context of the time when it was written and published. In some cases the period contextualization leads to quite unexpected findings. First of all, there is a kind of paradox, since in the book, considered essential in the study of ethnicity, F. Barth does not use the term "ethnicity" a single time. At the same time the author shows that in many cases period authors did not consider the book to represent a watershed in ethnic studies. Moreover, as is further shown, the reception of the book wasespecially in North Americaquite delayed and only very slow. In other words, contemporary responses to the book are not in accordance with the canonical narrative of its influence and impact. So, if we insist on the key position of Ethnic Groups and Boundaries in ethnic studies, at least some of the explanations thereof need to be revised; and perhaps some new ones need to be found, too. A 50 th Anniversary is an exceptionally suitable time for this enterprise.
