Egyptian Mawlids in the Context of Contemporary Sufi Spirituality
Ostřanský, Bronislav
2009 - English
Mawlids – as many-sided religious and social phenomenon – have a long and uninterrupted tradition within Islam. Since uncertain beginnings which can be traced back to the 13th or 14th centuries until the present times their participants have been put together by the identical common motive – the will to express their respect, devoutness and loyalty to a certain saint (walī). Using the popular Muslim parable describing the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj), we might to state that ways and manners of wandering are different, but the Aim is just one. On the example of these religious celebrations we can clearly illustrate to what a degree Islamic mysticism and Muslim folk religiosity are closely interwoven until it is quite impossible study both of them separately (!). In general, celebrations of mawlids connect both religious and profane aspects and up to the present day belong to the most significant sources for our study of the contemporary popular Muslim (not only Egyptian) religiosity.

Are the Mandarin "retroflexes" retroflex? "Palatals" palatal? "Velars" velar? Notes on terminology.
Třísková, Hana
2007 - Czech
Mandarin initial consonants are traditionally classified into several series. The classification is based on the articulatory features. The paper explores whether the terms used for identifying particular series reflect real articulatory features of the proper consonants (such as: is the "retroflex" series articulated with the tip of the tongue curled backwards?) The conclusion: we have to distinguish between the phonological usage of the particular term (i.e. the term is used for classifying the series) and the phonetic usage (i.e. the term is used for describing the articulation). Čínské iniciální souhlásky se tradičně fonologicky klasifikují podle artikulačních vlastností do několika řad. Práce zkoumá, do jaké míry názvy řad ("retroflexní", "palatální" atd.) odpovídají skutečným artikulačním vlastnostem (např. zdali u "retroflexní" řady dochází k ohnutí jazyka vzad). Závěr: je třeba odlišovat fonologické užití termínů (klasifikace řad), které nemusí vystihovat fonetický detail, od užití fonetického (popis artikulace).

Changes in relationship with merchants in Confucian tradition
Obuchová, Ľubica
2005 - Czech
Confucianism was widely applied in Chinese economy and laws. Traditional economic thought stresses the social importance of agriculture, but depreciates the role of commerce. In the hierarchy of Chinese traditional society merchants were placed at the bottom. V čínském hospodářství a právnictví se široce aplikoval konfucianismus. Tradiční ekonomické myšlení zdůrazňovalo společenský význam zemědělství a potlačovalo úlohu obchodu. V tradiční čínské společenské hierarchii patřila obchodníkům nejnižší příčka.
