Elie Kedourie a kapitoly britské politiky na Blízkém východě
(AntropoWeb, 2012) Kynclová, Kristýna
Western influence on the Middle East is a theme that deservedly attracts attention of many scientists from various fields of study. Many theories with regard to the modern political history of the region have been produced and discussed. One of the authors that came out with an influential concept was Edward Said. In his critique of Orientalism (Orientalism, 1978), Said focuses on Western conceptions of the Middle East and its outcomes. The book became worldwide famous for its direct assault on Western society and its imperial politics. An influential attitude is taken by another prominent scientist, Bernard Lewis, who represents an opposition to Said´s opinion. This survey is geared towards presenting the work of Baghdad-born British historian Elie Kedourie, who maintains with regard to given topic very interesting position as well. In the course of his career Kedourie mainly focused on modern Middle Eastern history, with a consideration to British political influence in the region. Kedourie tried to analyse factors which brought Ottoman Empire to decline and Middle Eastern region to general long-lasting crisis. In his writings Kedourie questioned the matter of suitability of Ottoman reforms based on European examples. He also occupied himself in detail with the issue of McMahon-Husayn correspondence and its interpretations, as well as with the Sykes-Picot agreement. He polemised with official viewpoints of British establishment and, usually with criticism, he assessed measures of British foreign politics. His revolutionary interpretations are believed to have changed the scientific approach of the view on modern history of the Middle Eastern countries.

Migrace Čechů do Bulharska – tzv. „česká invaze“
(AntropoWeb, 2012) Strohsová, Klára
This article is focused on Czech migration to Bulgaria particularly between years 1878 (after the liberation of Bulgaria from under Turkish domination) and 1918 (when most of the migrants from Bulgaria rather returned to the newly established Czechoslovakia). The Czech migration in this period is referred as „Czech culture ocupation“ or „Czech invasion“. The migrants who were mostly ecomically motivated to come and build the newly created states – built infrastructure, founded new research and art institutions, built government (judiciary, education), etc.), helped revive cultural, scientific, political and economic life in Bulgaria.
Odrazy teoretických antropologických koncepcí v obrazech etnického turismu na Sumbě
(AntropoWeb, 2012) Kábová, Adriana
Many theoretical concepts formed in social sciences in virtue of intercultural contacts are nowadays perceived as obsolete. Romanticizing, exoticizing or primitivist images were coupled to „foreign and remote societies“ as far back as in 15th century. These images are presently reflected in the domain of ethnic tourism. Both participating parties – the incoming European tourists and inhabitants of the island Sumba think of „the Others“ through these images. Both tourists and Sumbanese use the terms „primitivism“, „uncivilized“, „barbarism“, „authenticity“, „tradition“. The aim of this paper is to analyze these images and to point out the ways of thinking incited by the confrontation with „the exotic Others“.

Způsoby interpretace společného historického původu tádžických Pamírců
(AntropoWeb, 2012) Retka, Tomáš
Collectively shared notion of a personal origin is often one of the sources of a group identity. For the Tajic Pamirs is a shared assumption of common origin one of the main arguments (the others are religion or language), by which they declare their peculiar identity. The members of the Pamirs groups derive their historical origin mainly from the times of the Hellenistic period in Central Asia. Accordingly the Pamirs proclaim that their ethnogenesis is strongly influenced by the stay of Alexander the Greaťs army on their territory. Thus the Pamirs consider themselves (and sometimes they are considered also by the members of “non-Pamirs” groups) as the descendants of Alexander’s soldiers – more precisely of Alexander’s soldiers and local women (namely Aryan women). Nowadays such an assumption of common historical origin is indicated as one of the sources of defining within a scope of “we -they dichotomizing”. That is, we the Pamirs (descendants of Alexander the Great – shi´a ismá´ílics speaking Eastern Iranian languages) distinguish from the others „non-Pamirs“ who has different historical origin and religion, speaks distinct languages and partly has distinct material culture.The aim of the article is thus to analyze the phenomenon of proclaimed common origin mainly in context of the identity construction of the Pamirs. Main emphasis is put on the question: how this historical category is used not only within an academic or a political scope, but also within the popular models interpretations of social reality. Thus how it indicates in ordinary social interactions.
Álevité – jiné pojetí islámu?
(AntropoWeb, 2012) Vytejčková, Kateřina
The Alevi are a religious minority in Turkey. It is a heterogeneous group including millions of Muslims who do not profess the major Sunni movement. During the time of the Ottoman Empire they were often persecuted as heretics. The Alevi and the Bektashi rise from the same origins which stretch back to the 13century to the theory of dervish Hadji Bektash Veli. In the first case it was concerned mainly rural inhabitants and in the second case it was concerned urban inhabitants – members and adherents of the dervish order Bektashi. Alevi Islam is called “Folk Islam”. It connects the elements of Shi’a Islam, Sufi movement, Christianity and pre- Islam systems of belief. The Alevi are despised by the major society because they do not stand aloof from drinking alcohol and they do not keep the Five Pillars of Islam which the orthodox Islam is based on. There was created a separate genre of anecdotes about the Alevi-Bektashi. This contribution introduces the main principles of their belief and ceremonies and brings also illustrations of some anecdotes.
