Download or read book Czechoslovakia a Bibliographic Guide written by Rudolf Sturm and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Rudolf Sturm of Skidmore College was commissioned in 1965 to undertake Czechoslovakia in an ad hoc appointment as a consultant to the Slavic and Central European Division. In selecting books and periodicals for inclusion, the potential users of the bibliography include: librarians building their collections relating to Czechoslovakia; specialists dealing with the area in depth; and, it is hoped, general readers with only occasional and less specialized interests. Assuming that it would be used primarily in English-speaking countries, it seemed appropriate to include publications first of all in English, then in French and German, and some also in Italian and Spanish. Books in Czech and Slovak are listed only when they are of basic importance for a subject for which no adequate Western imprint is available. Thus, this guide is expected to be of interest and assistance to beginners as well as to the more advanced students of Slavic and Mid-European affairs.

Download or read book Myths and Traditions of Central European University Culture written by Jiří Hanuš and published by Masarykova univerzita. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publikace si klade za cíl kulturní analýzu univerzitního prostředí, přičemž jejím hlavním analytickým nástrojem je pojem „mýtus“. Autoři chápou mýtus jako kulturní jev spojující současnost akademické sféry s minulostí a jako archetyp ve smyslu psychologie Carla Gustava Junga. Mýtus je podle autorů pevně vázán na symboly, rituály, hierarchické znaky a tradice nejrůznějšího druhu. Kniha představuje americkému a západoevropskému čtenáři univerzitní kulturu vlastní tzv. humboldtovskému okruhu akademické tradice, přičemž v centru pozornosti stojí prostředí českého vysokého školství ve srovnání se situací v Německu, Polsku, Rakousku a dalších zemích. Významným aspektem je proto charakteristika středoevropských univerzit, které prošly ve 20. století diskontinuitním vývojem. Specifikem knihy je preference náhledu akademické kultury převážně z pozice ne-metropolitních vysokých škol vzniklých v 19. a 20. století. Autoři pojali svou knihu historicky, ale nebrání se významným aktualizacím. Zajímá je zejména rozpor mezi humboldtovským ideálem a „akademickým kapitalismem“, hledání univerzitní jednoty v rámci diverzifikačních tlaků, tendence k oslabování univerzitních svobod a různé podoby univerzitní samosprávy. Autoři se pokouší svou publikací vyvolat debatu nejen v historických kruzích, ale také u zájemců napříč univerzitní komunitou._x000D_ _x000D_

Download or read book A History of the University in Europe Volume 3 Universities in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries 1800 1945 written by Walter Rüegg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-16 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third volume of a four-part series which covers the development of the university in Europe (east and west) from its origins to the present day, focusing on a number of major themes viewed from a European perspective. The originality of the series lies in its comparative, interdisciplinary, collaborative and trans-national nature. It deals also with the content of what was taught at the universities, but its main purpose is an appreciation of the role and structures of the universities as seen against a backdrop of changing conditions, ideas and values. This 2004 volume deals with the modernisation, differentiation and expansion of higher education which led to the triumph of modern science, changing the relations between universities and national states, teachers and students, their ambitions and political activities. Special attention is focused on the fundamental advances in 'learning' - the content of what was taught at the universities.
