• Description

  Herito: Heritage, Culture, Contemporary: No 36 Stretching for nearly 1,500 kilometers through the territories of eight countries, they occupy an area five times larger than Switzerland. For centuries, they provided space for the development of cultures and small centers of the world, including the Boykos, Lemkos, Hutsuls, Vlachs, Székelys, and Transylvanian Saxons. In their stubborn immobility, they rarely heeded the ideas of imperfect cartographers—they united rather than divided, and today they remain an ideal point of reference for discussions about Central European heritage. The Carpathians, because they are discussed here, are the subject of the latest quarterly "Herito." In this issue: Maciej Pinkwart deconstructs the myth of the "Polish Athens" – Zakopane – and reminds us who and where invented the shower; Andrzej Dybczak wanders through the wild orchards along the Poprad River, looking for traces of the Lemko chyży (a kind of "chyzh"); Weronika Drohobycka-Grzesiak peeks into a Hutsul hut in the twentieth century; Andriej Lubka recalls the mosaic history of Transcarpathia; Csaba G. Kiss explains why the Carpathian hills still evoke nostalgia in Hungarians; Bogumił Luft takes us to the Székely region, and Wojciech Stanisławski to the mountains of Transylvania; Patrice M. Dabrowski describes how the attitude of the Polish authorities towards the Bieszczady Mountains has changed over the years; Radoslav Passia examines the orientalization of the Carpathians in Polish, Slovak, Ukrainian and Romanian literature.
