Към една сензорна критика
type: item
description: The text presents a reflexive approach to sensory studies as it thinks and develops the concepts of sensory corpus (via Schulze, 2018 and Nancy, 2003) and sensescape (Portreous, 1990; Howes, 2022; 2023; Pink, 2015, Zlatkova 2020; 2022) as extended sensoriums (Laplantine 2015), which can sense different modalities of corporealites, matters, structures, and objects. Sensory criticism can analyze these modalities, but also highlight the multifaceted dispositives of silence embodied in the sensory corpuses: normative/repressive, aesthetic, sociocultural and physical. Thus one might highlight embodied practices and sensations and generate data from sensory corpuses as “similar” or “foreign” (even as humanoid aliens per (Schulze 2018). Sensory data and the highlighted modalities in and through the analysis can be stable, generative, particular, or bordering (Pink and Schultz), but this does not mean that they cannot be accessed and/or mapped through sensory critiques that are grounded in bodily epistemology (Schulze 2018) and embodiment in a given situational terrain, multisensory interview or already constructed and codified in other media (see Zlatkova 2022) that contain sensory data and/or specific sensory modalities. Sensory criticism deals with the analysis of objects and structures as well as with the analytics of phenomenology, with thick description (Schulze 2018: 52), autoethnography and modal anthropology (which Laplantine develops, i.e. heuristically speaking: not (only) the knowledge of something, but also the sensation of it). This makes sensory criticism a flexible transdisciplinary tool for in theoria, in situ and in vivo analyses.The article also examines and analyzes sensory and autoethnographic data, as well as other data generated by sensory corpuses and their sensescapes.

"White Indians" as a cultural phenomenon
type: item
description: In his long-term studies of the so-called Indianist organizations, the author analyzes the reasons for the keen European interest in the Native Americans, which led to the emergence of these groups. The particular report is focused on an impressive cultural phenomenon that appears to be such a reason – the “white Indians”. Its roots go back to the history of North America in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, when many Euro- Americans were adopted into various Indian tribes and refused to leave them not only when given the opportunity, but even under duress. The report examines the impact of their life- stories on contemporary Indianists, as well as on the new dimension of the phenomenon after the end of traditional “Indian times”. In the Canadian woods or on the literary field, new “white Indians” become a source of inspiration for members of Indianist organizations, many of whom see themselves as part of the same phenomenon.

Aspects of local identity - the second half of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century
type: item
description: The article presents the initial findings from fieldwork in connection with a dissertation study on the development of local identity in Bansko and Razlog during the period from the second half of the 20th to the beginning of the 21st century. It addresses the uniqueness and distinctiveness of the respective community, based on local culture, history and social practices. The study explores how local people perceive themselves and what unites them as a community. The article discusses economic and social factors, particularly the impact of tourism, globalization and the market on local identity, and how culture adapts in a rapidly changing environment. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used, including archival research, interviews with local residents and analysis of cultural and social events. The study is expected to provide up-to-date data on cultural change. The primary goal of the research is to identify the key manifestations of contemporary identity and the mechanisms driving transformation in the community and to explore opportunities for preserving authentic culture in the context of global trends.

Kiptî / قبطی / - çingene / چینكانه / gypsies in the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Turkey
type: item
description: The topic of the life, lifestyle and history of the Gypsies, however laborious, due to the lack of authentic source material and the use of indirect ones, has aroused and continues to arouse research interest. The problems discussed in this study are insufficiently covered by the researchers of the Gypsy ethnicity both in Bulgaria and abroad, and, following the direction of the Historical Positivism, I believe that the study of the said ethnicity’s past should also include the origin of the name by which this ethnicity travels through time and space. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the origin, meaning, way of use and formation of the names “Kıptî” and “Chingene” by which the Gypsy ethnicity was named and registered in the Ottoman administration over the centuries, and to inquire for what reason the name Çingene / چینكانه / is preferred in modern Turkish while Kıptî / قبطی / - Gypsies was abandoned.

Social-pedagogical technology as a form of pedagogical interaction with Roma parents
type: item
description: The article examines the role of the parent in the education of students of Roma origin and the interaction between teachers and parents as an important element for improving the educational process, regardless of the ethnic origin of the students. Early school leaving observed among students of Roma origin can be explained with economic, social, educational and discriminatory reasons. In addition to involving parents in the educational process, teachers must first be prepared for work in an intercultural environment, by mastering modern forms and technologies of education tailored to the socio-cultural situation and value orientation of modern students.

The Plovdiv metropolis model for supporting religious education in recent times
type: item
description: After 1944, under the slogans of separating the church from the state, the totalitarian regime gradually expelled the Church and everything related to it from the general education in school, eliminating the existing religious education in Bulgaria. After the changes, there were various attempts to carry out the religious literacy of Bulgarians, with the greatest success coming after overcoming the split in the BOC - BP (2003 - 2004). Since 2007, in the Plovdiv Diocese, the newly elected metropolitan has started implementing a special model for supporting religious education in sync with the official institutions and what is allowed by law. It is related to financial, qualification and spiritual support for teachers teaching the subject Religion (Orthodoxy) in the initial stage of education in Plovdiv and the entire diocese. This paper aims to justify the model and to discuss timely questions that this successful experience raises.

The Belogradchik uprising of 1850 and the reasons for its outbreak through the prism of our customary law
type: item
description: The Belogradchik Uprising of 1850 is also known in the literature as the Vidin Uprising, the Uprising of the Peasants of North-West Bulgaria, and, according to many Turkish historians, also as an uprising caused by the regime of the “land lords” in Vidin. The uprising was caused by the unfavourable socio-economic relations that occurred as a result of the social reforms in the Ottoman Empire and the focus of the scientific paper is on the reasons that led to the outbreak of the Belogradchik Uprising which was the first large-scale organized event against the Ottoman rule in Bulgarian history in the first half of the 19th century.

Следвоенните режими в България и Румъния
type: item
description: The path of the post-war settlement with the former Nazi satellites from Eastern Europe is marked by the requirements of the Yalta Declaration for a Liberated Europe for the establishment of representative governments comprised of all democratic elements in these countries. In this respect, the coalition governments of Bulgaria and Romania, established at the end of the summer of 1944, faced the gravest problems in terms of their recognition by the western powers which naturally impeded the conclusion of their peace treaties. The authorities in the USA and Great Britain, two of the main allies in the anti-Nazi coalition, viewed Bulgaria and Romania as mere Soviet tools and did not recognize the democratic character and the representativeness of their governments, a fact which delayed their international recognition and the threatened the delay of the conclusion of peace treaties with them. In the course of the negotiations on the procedure for the elaboration of peace treaties with the former satellites of Nazi Germany, the American government dispatched the journalist Mark Ethridge as an independent observer to Bulgaria and Romania with the task to present a report in which to assess whether the governments in Sofia and Bucharest are sufficiently representative. Along with a brief biographical account of the American journalist, this article will present Ethridge's main findings and the political ramifications of its report. The morphing of his fact- finding mission into a fully-fledged diplomatic effort and an attempt to influence the internal political scene of the two countries against the background of Soviet political dominance in them is also analyzed. Further, the paper will give an account of the analysis provided by Ethridge with regards to the similarities and differences between the regimes in Bulgaria and Romania.

Атомната сила в американските антикомунистически филми от 60-те години
type: item
description: The purpose of this paper is to connect the basic Cold war’s elements, such as East – West confrontation, possibility of World War Three and cinema, to represent an authentic picture of 1960s society’s anxiety. Atomic power is a basis for an armament race and the following modernization in the Capitalist and Communist countries. The super power leaders’ must maintain a constant connection between themselves in order to avoid atomic Armageddon. The next step is to initiate a peaceful cooperation between the Americans and the Soviets. Cinema gives an opportunity for everyone around the world to learn new knowledge in an unconventional way. After that, they can express opinion based on experience and sometimes even on propaganda and educational movie content. The phenomenon of “atomic cinema” is set, which can be included in several film categories, because atomic bomb can affect life in all dimensions. The case study of two movies “Fail-safe” and “Ice Station Zebra” is important to illustrate paranoia and tensions during and after the Cuban missiles crisis. Protagonists’ choices and actions reflect not only in immediate conflict between them, but also on the world around them. Fantasy and reality couldn’t be easily distinguished, because of the specific relationship between cinema and life itself.

type: item
description: This article analyses the monograph of the historian from the Republic of North Macedonia Vera Gosheva, who tries to present the history of the Ilinden organization in Bulgaria (1921-1947). Attention has been drawn to the parts in which she writes about the editions of the organization of the veterans of Macedonian-Adrianople revolution. The main criticism revolves around the ethnic character of the Macedonian population and the leaders of the organization, which the author presents in sharp contrast with the publications themselves.

Идеята за конгрес на Демократическия сговор през 1931–1932 г. – пътят към разцеплението
type: item
description: This article is devoted to the growing infighting within the Democratic Alliance (DA) after the defeat in the 1931 election and to the fact that those disputes deeply affected the process of organizing the party's long-awaited first regular congress. The author also seeks explanation for the perception of certain figures among the more prominent figures in the DA about the role of the congress in the future of the organization and thus the article follows the attempts of some of them to manipulate the local subdivisions of the party before the big meeting in Sofia. In addition, the author seeks to find the reasons for the repeated postponement of the convening of the party forum and to explain how the splitting of the party and the exit of Alexander Tsankov and his supporters was not a surprise, but a carefully prepared act on the part of the former prime minister and his associates.

Двата големи външни заема, получени от Царство България при управлението на Андрей Ляпчев
type: item
description: This article follows the attempts of the Bulgarian government led by the Prime Minister Andrey Lyapchev to solve the everlasting refugee crisis, caused by the provisions of Treaty Of Neuilly-sur-Seine from 1919 which forced the Kingdom of Bulgaria to cede several territories whose main population were Bulgarians. Aside from that, one of the most pressing issues that Lyapchev’s cabinet had to address was the financial situation of the country which was continually unstable since the First World War ended. Thus came the idea to seek help from the League of Nations’ Financial Committee which was asked to fund Bulgaria with a loan intended to help the country to create adequate conditions for the waves of refugees that continued to arrive from the ceded lands to be settled. After this loan was granted and 1926 and executed successfully, in 1928 Bulgaria asked the League of Nations to grant another loan to the country which was planned to help stabilizing the financial situation and the state of the Kingdom’s national currency. The main focus of the article are the negotiations for those loans – the Refugee loan of 1926 and the Stabilization loan of 1928 both of which were instrumental for the successful attempts of Lyapchev’s consecutive cabinets to improve the overall socio-economic state of the country.

Иларион Ловчански – несъстоялият се български екзарх
type: item
description: In this text we are trying to restore the life and achievements of an Orthodox priest, and particularly his participation in Bulgarian National Church Movement. Having chosen to join the leaders of the religious struggle, Ilarion of Lovech soon started playing a major role in organizing the newly established ecclesiastical institutions and their first steps with regard to solving the issue of the future Bulgarian exarch. Though his spiritual leadership withered on the vine, the bishop remained in history as a unifier of Bulgarian congregation, whose destiny reflected all the aspirations and hardships of the time.

Although 679 AD was initially considered as such, since it is indicated by the main chronological source – The Chronography of Theophanes the Confessor, it was quickly rejected after an error was found in his chronology for the period 6102 AM – 6265 AM (609/10 AD – 772/73 AD). Since then, researchers’ attention has focused on 680 and 681 AD. Those who maintain the opinion that the treaty was signed in 680 AD use as an argument the fact that both Theophanes and the others Byzantine chroniclers, who wrote on the matter, state that the treaty was signed before the convocation of the VI Ecumenical Council (November 7-th 680 AD). The supporters of 681 AD cite as their main argument the speech of the Syrian presbyter Constantine of Apameia, who openly criticized the organizers of the council that if he was admitted to the council meetings earlier and heard, the empire would not have suffered the defeat in the war with Bulgaria earlier that year. This information from Constantine of Apameia gives M. Voinov a reason to define two periods in the Bulgarian-Byzantine war: 1) the spring-autumn of 680 AD, when Bulgarians began their raidings on the imperial lands, defeated the army of Constantine IV in the battle of Ongal, and began to conquer Moesia; 2) spring-summer of 681 AD, when, after arranged his relations with the Slavic tribes, located in Moesia, Asparuch began to devastate the Byzantine possessions in Thrace. Unable to oppose him, the emperor forced himself to conclude a peace treaty with him, obliging himself to pay him an annual tribute. This thesis of his is accepted, both by most researchers and by the author of the present article.

Руската геостратегия на Балканите и разделителната линия Изток – Запад, XVIII–XIX в.
type: item
description: The presence of Russia in the Balkan geopolitical scene has deep-rooted traditions. Throughout different historical periods, its relationship with the Balkans and interactions with other Great Powers have proven to be a key factor in shaping the fate of the region's states, as well as influencing changes in their political borders, state structure, economic development, and cultural progress within their respective national states. In the struggle for geopolitical and economic supremacy over the "Balkan geopolitical knot," Russia's interests in the 18th and 19th centuries primarily clashed with those of the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary. Initially, perceptions of the West and the East depend on the postulates of development in the civilizational relations of the Eurasian continent, which determine the differences between its western and eastern parts. Gradually, their socio-cultural, ideological, and geopolitical characteristics are recognized as the primary indicators for the division along the West-East axis. This model for structuring the world is carried out not one hundred percent geographically, but mostly on a cultural principle (which, of course, does not deprive it of its geographical identity). These spaces—the East and the West—should not be viewed as two main, homogeneous, let alone identical entities, as the notion of them should not exclude their complex internal structure, predetermined by historical events in the mentality-civilizational sense of the geopolitical worlds and the various forms of self-identification and identification of the communities inhabiting the Balkan Peninsula. It is precisely the circumstances leading to these self identifications in the Balkan area that are crucial for understanding the contemporary spatial relations between the West and the East. Two significant civilizational boundaries pass through the Balkans—the one between Orthodoxy and Catholicism on one side and between Christianity and Islam on the other. There …

Зографският йеромонах Мелетий Македонски (краят на XVI в. - 1640-те)
type: item
description: Although Meletiy from Zograf is almost unknown to the Bulgarian national historiography, he was a historical personality that left a remarkable trace in the cultural history of the Danubian Principalities. Originating from the historical region of Macedonia, Meletiy became initially a monk at the Athonite monastery of Zograf, while later in the 1620s he worked at the printing house of the Kievo-Pecherskaya Lavra - the largest and most important Orthodox cultural center in Eastern Europe during the first half of the 17th century. In 1624 his name appeared in the historical sources in relation to the secret diplomatic negotiations between the Kievan archbishop Iov Boretskiy (1620-1631) and the government in Moscow concerning the possible political alliance between the Russian Tsardom and the Zaporozhian Cossacks. In the 1630s Meletiy was the chief organizer of the first 17th-century printing houses and of the first modern Orthodox religious school in the Danubian Principality of Wallachia. At the Oltenian monastery of Govora, whose hegumen Meletiy has been in the period of 1634-1640, some of the most important 17th-century Church Slavonic and Romanian editions were printed. In 1640 after an unsuccessful attempt to become an Orthodox bishop of Transylvania Meletiy returned to Wallachia and continued his literary work at the capital city of Târgoviște. In his biography, we may see a good example of how the ecclesiastical figures of the 17th century (the so-called “Age of Confessionalization, 1555-1648” - a period, characterized mainly by the close intertwinement of religion and politics) were equally engaged in both with important cultural and at the same time political initiatives.

Modo et consuetudine armenorum
type: item
description: The article examines the concept of ethnicity and its application to the development of medieval societies as well as the relationship between ethnic processes and the law in the Middle Ages. The principal research objectives are the privileges granted by King Casimir (1333-1370) to the Armenian ethnoreligious community in 1350, 1356 and 1367. Attention is given to the settlement of Armenians in the lands of the kingdom of Poland; the foreign policy of Casimir III; the development of the Polish legal system and the importance of the Armenian Datastanagirk and the legal corpora of Sempad Sparapet and Mkhitar Gosh. The role of law and law in the study of the formation and preservation of ethnicity is also taken into consideration. The role of the privileges is assessed as an indicator of how the Polish monarchy attempted to regulate relations between different ethnic groups, as well as a legal recognition of Armenian ethnic, religious and cultural identity. The study contributes to a better understanding of the question of how medieval societies identify themselves in ethnic and religious context, and how these identifications affected relationships between different cultures and individuals.

The кey importance of Arctic hydrocarbons to the Russian Federation in recent times
type: item
description: The hydrocarbons in the Arctic and their exploitation are of key importance for the Russian Federation in modern times. Resources are important not only economically, but also geopolitically. Russia's policy in the region is to the development of new oil and gas fields, infrastructure development, investments in new mining technologies and the conclusion of important partnerships with foreign companies.

New archival Data on the passing and struggle of the Hieromartyr Kancho from Adzhar in Bulgaria (1840–1877)
type: item
description: Kancho (Krastyo) Genkov (b. 1840) is the first-born son in the family of the icon-painter Genko (Georgi) Krastev, son of Krastyo Zahariev (the old) from the reputed family of the Zaharievs in Tryavna. He masters the art of his fathers, as the boys in his family do. From 1864 he is found in the village of Adzhar, tasked to paint the frescoes of the newly-constructed church of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. In Adzhar (today the village of Svezhen, near Karlovo, Plovdiv) he is married to his wife Stoya, called to priesthood similarly as was his uncle Peter, and is elevated to the dignity of priest, appointed in the same parish on June 9, 1869 (old style), as becomes clear from a decree from the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian church, recovered in the course of this study. The same decree states that presbytera Stoya is to receive a widow's allowance for her late very same husband, priest in the village of Adzhar, was murdered by the Turks in 1877. This document makes it clear that Fr. Kancho is a witness for the faith and spends the last days of his life as a new martyr, which was unknown to us. Those who have studied the life of Fr. Kancho consider that he passes away on 1924 in Tryavna. For this reason the present study ascertains and corrects the mistake of previous authors by following up on what is known of our spiritual father and here-to-forth unknown hieromartyr by analyzing it in the light of the existing sources, and thus revealing his sainthood to our contemporary audience.

Prevention for early “marriages” and births - is it possible?
type: item
description: In 2019 in the small Municipality Straldzha, Sliven District was piloted an international project with a research component. The main aim was to address lack of reproductive rights and to encourage empowerment of 13-14 years girls in four Roma communities in three EU countries – Spain, Romania, Bulgaria. The key question of the study was about mechanisms that influenced Roma girls about their decision to become mothers. The task of local teams was to test a program that will support girls to postpone „marriage“ and birth after their graduation on school or reaching 18 years of age. The report represents results at the formal end of the project in the middle of 2021, but also includes observation in the next two years till August 2023. References: Zahova, S. 2015.
