"De saint Wenceslas à la Sainte couronne de Hongrie, du bouclier de la foi aux invasions mongoles et aux croisades de Prusse, ou encore d'Attila à Dracula, les motifs qui ont forgé l'imaginaire collectif des habitants de l'ancien "bloc de l'Est" et leur servent aujourd'hui de références identitaires jusque dans les plus hautes sphères de l'État et de la diplomatie remontent pour l'essentiel au Moyen Âge. Impossible de comprendre l'évolution actuelle de ces pays sans disposer de ces clés de compréhension. Né de ce constat, ce livre, qui tient à la fois du dictionnaire et de l'essai collectif, embrasse, sur plus de huit siècles, l'ensemble géographique couvert par les duchés puis royaumes de Bohême, Hongrie et Pologne - le noyau dur de l'Europe centrale en tant que région historique. Neuf chapitres introductifs éclairent les principales facettes de cet espace-temps, sans masquer pour autant ses zones d'ombre. Près de 500 notices font ensuite le point, à la lumière des dernières recherches scientifiques, sur les notions, les courants idéologiques, les symboles, les processus, les événements, les groupes et les personnages réels ou mythiques qui le caractérisent ou lui sont associés. Confié à une centaine d'auteurs issus pour la plupart des pays concernés, l'ouvrage a été coordonné par Marie-Madeleine de Cevins, en collaboration avec Enikő Csukovits, Olivier Marin, Martin Nejedlý et Przemysław Wiszewski" -- Quatrième de couverture.

The Oldest Travelogue from Chinguetti [Bilād Shinqīt, present-day Mauritania]: The Blessed Journey of al-Ḥājj Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr al-Burtulī al-Wulātī to the Two Holy Sanctuaries (1204-1205AH/1789-1790CE) was long considered lost. In addition to its historical value and the information it contains on the cultural relations between the western and eastern parts of the Islamic world, it stands out from other Ḥajj travelogues due to the itinerary it follows. The author describes cities, villages, and shrines of righteous people. The work is unique in its account of the unknown Algerian desert of Tenazruft, the landmarks and places along the way, as well as water wells and the notes on whether these are fresh or salty. The travelogue contains many historical references and reports on some ancient Arabic linguistic phenomena and is characterized by its level of detail and cautiousness. إنها أقدم رحلة حج مدونة من بلاد شنقيط (موريتانيا الحالية) والتي ضاعت منذ زمن طويل. بالإضافة إلى قيمتها التاريخية وأهميتها في دراسة التواصل الحضاري بين غرب العالم الإسلامي وشرقه، فهي تتميز عن رحلات الحج الأخرى بمسارها. يصف المؤلف المدن والقرى ومزارات الصالحين. تنفرد الرحلة بوصف الصحراء الجزائرية المجهولة تنزروفت ويصف المعالم والأماكن على طول الطريق إلى الحرمين الشريفين في شبه الجزيرة العربية، وكذلك آبار المياه وما إذا كانت عذبة أو مالحة. والرحلة مليئة بالعديد من الإشارات التاريخية بالإضافة إلى بعض الظواهر اللغوية العربية القديمة وتتميز بدقة الوصف والاحتياط في الرواية.

Diese Publikation befasst sich mit den sozialen, kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und subjektiv wahrgenommenen Lebensbedingungen der deutschen Minderheit im Grenzgebiet Woiwodschaft Oppeln innerhalb der dominierenden polnischen Kultur. Basierend auf quantitativen soziologischen Untersuchungen zeigen die Autor*innen die Bedeutung des Wertes für den Gruppenzusammenhalt auf und heben hervor, wie vielschichtig und komplex die Identität und das Bewusstsein für das Gruppenpotenzial in der Region sind. Daher liegt der Schwerpunkt der vorgestellten Untersuchungen auf drei detaillierten Forschungsproblemen: der gegenwärtigen Funktion der deutschen Minderheit, der Frage der nationalen oder regionalen Identität und der Wahrnehmung der Minderheit durch ihre Mitglieder als Wert. This publication is devoted to the issue of the German minority in the Opole Voivodeship, which was dealt with in the social, cultural, economic dimension as well as the subjective evaluation of the members of this group. The empirical study's context was determined by the dominant Polish culture within which the German minority functions. The book combines the "classical perspective" of research on the largest national minority in Poland (the issue of culture and identity) with its "dynamic" dimension (relations with the social environment, entrepreneurial ethics, civic involvement). As a result of this combination, we obtained a comprehensive picture of self-identification of the German minority representatives, filling a gap in the literature on the subject.
