Die Verwandlung der senecanischen Tragödie in Marc-Antoine Murets “Julius Caesar” und Jacques Grévins “César”
1994
In 1547 Marc-Antoine Muret wroteJulius Caesar, the first tragedy by a French author with an exclusively historical plot. While imitating the dramatic structure of Seneca's tragedies, he fundamentally changed the nature of the tragic conflict, transferring it from the character of the tragic hero to the clash of two basically positive principles, monarchy and Republican liberty. Muret's Caesar does not plan a revengeful crime as the Senecan heroes did; he is rather the successful statesman, ready to die after having won the victory over the entire world, and his apotheosis is soon fulfilled by the gods. On the other side are the Republican heroes Brutus and Cassius who succeed in killing the…

The Czech Case: From the Bohemian Slavophone Populus to Czech Nationalism and the Czechoslovak Nation

Bohemia emerged as a separate polity after the Magyar conquest of Greater Moravia. The Frankish protection that extended to Bohemia attached this country to the empire, while Moravia became a province permanently linked to the Principality of Bohemia in the late 1020s. In 1079, Moravia was organized as a margraviate. Usually sons or younger brothers of the Bohemian princes reigned as margraves of Moravia, which emphasized the separateness of Moravia vis-a-vis Bohemia. A similar arrangement developed in Poland-Lithuania where sons or younger brothers of the King of Poland ruled in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Třestik 1999: 140).

A special issue, “Remembering the Past and the Future - Korean Culture in a Changing World,” is devoted to understanding Korean culture. Regardless of the bulk of comprehensive information available today, accurate knowledge of the Asian culture in Europe or the European culture in Asia has not become considerably deeper. Sometimes even to the contrary – the old stereotypes continue to exist as part of the packaging for pseudo information adjusted to the short-term goals of the contemporary globalised society, supplemented by travel guides and announcements tailored to the needs of immediate politically economic conjuncture. And yet, this is only the top of the intercultural communication i…
