Bulgarian affairs in the second half of the 19th c. in Polish historiography since 1989

Bulgarian affairs in the second half of the 19th c. in Polish historiography since 1989In this article, we present an overview of research topics concerning the history of Bulgaria in the second half of the 19th c. and early 20th c. that have appeared in Polish historiography since 1989. We adopted the timeframe of 1848–1908. The two dates are not only of key importance for the history of Europe and Slavdom, but also for Bulgarians. 1848 was the year which saw the birth of Hristo Botev, one of the most prominent Bulgarian poets and national revival activists, while in 1908 Bulgaria officially declared its independence and the beginning of the third empire. We wanted to avoid writing historiographical overview articles which consist only of dry bibliographical lists and focus on the most important research trends which can be observed in the field of Polish studies on Bulgaria in the second half of the 19th c. Sprawy bułgarskie w drugiej połowie XIX wieku w polskiej historiografii po 1989 rokuW niniejszym artykule zostanie przeprowadzony przegląd tematów badawczych dotyczących historii Bułgarii w drugiej połowie XIX i na początku XX wieku, pojawiający się w polskiej historiografii po 1989 roku. Jako cezurę czasową przyjęto lata 1848–1908. Obie te daty mają nie tylko kluczowe znaczenie dla dziejów Europy i Słowiańszczyzny, ale także Bułgarów. W 1848 roku urodził się Christo Botew, jeden z czołowych bułgarskich poetów oraz działaczy odrodzeniowych, w 1908 roku zaś Bułgaria oficjalnie ogłosiła niepodległość i początek trzeciego carstwa. Autorzy chcieli zerwać z historiograficznymi artykułami przeglądowymi opartymi na suchym wymienianiu pozycji bibliograficznych, a skupić się na najważniejszych nurtach badawczych, tendencjach oraz zjawiskach, widocznych na polu polskich badań nad Bułgarią w drugiej połowie XIX wieku

"Živio i evviva!" : the beginnings of the dispute over the identity of the 19th-century Istria

The main subject of the present article is the issue of Istrian identity, and particularly of the national consciousness of its inhabitants in the 19th-century. The question whether the culture and ethnicity of the province should be classified as belonging to one of the two fundamental domains, Roman (Italian) or Slavic (Croatian and Slovenian), is also analysed. What is more, the author focuses on such problems as the „national revival” of Croatians and Slovenians, the development of Croatian and Slovenian nations, and Italian unification (il Risorgimento). These problems are considered essential as far as the history of Italians and South Slavs is concerned. It would be difficult to find any ethnic conflicts during the period when most of the province was under Venetian reign; the assimilation was progressing more or less naturally. The turning point for the development of Italian national movement within the Austrian Littoral (Küstenland, Litorale Austriaco), to which Istria belonged, was the year 1848. It started to be officially claimed then that the province was of Italian character and that Austrian authorities should reconcile themselves to this assertion. After the year 1860, during the early days of Habsburg constitutional monarchy, the national revival movement of the Slavic population entered a decisive phase. However, the process was rather slow due to political and social domination of Italy. On the other hand, Italian irredentism, which aimed at uniting Istria with the Kingdom of Italy, was becoming more powerful. Istrian leaders were trying to prove that the province had always been and should continue to be part of Italy
