Istraživanja – Journal of Historical Researches
Primary tabs
Istraživanja – Journal of Historical Researches is dedicated to publishing the best academic ideas regarding all aspects of socio-political processes and events primarily in the region of Central and South East Europe, as well as the Eastern Mediterranean. However, the geographical focus is not strict since the studies of all phenomena and processes which occur elsewhere but are relevant for mentioned geographical area are welcomed. Since the University of Novi Sad is located in the part of the world where different civilizations, cultures, religions and peoples have met and intertwined for millennia, Istraživanja especially emphasizes the critical research of the impact and significance of these mutual interactions and entanglements. The Journal greatly values an interdisciplinary approach, which is why it publishes not only the papers that study “typical” political history, but also works which critically analyze social and cultural life in the past (material culture, political thought, literature, religion, etc.) and come from the fields of archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, art history and classical studies. However, Istraživanja - Journal of Historical Researches does not publish "rough" unanalyzed materials, field, questionnaires and interviews reports, pure linguistic analyses or any kind of contributions limited to bare reproduction of data and uncritical synthesis of previous scholarship.

- ИСАИЈА АНТОНОВИЋ ЕПИСКОП АРАДСКИ И МИТРОПОЛИТ КАРЛОВАЧКИ (1731–1749)
- Isaija Antonović (Jovan in secular life), belonged to a family of prominent merchants and craftsmen who had moved from Novi Pazar to Buda with Patriarch Arsenije III Crnojević. The family’s financial standing and the cultural and political influence of the Serb community at Buda undoubtedly influenced Isaija’s choice to take vows and pursue the teaching profession. The widower became a monk and slowly ascended the rungs of the Karlovci Metropolitanate to the rank of bishop and metropolitan. He demonstrated great zeal for the defence of Orthodoxy, the Serbian people and the rights conferred on them by the Privilegium, while also showing a tendency to launch unnecessary attacks and engage in squabbles with other bishops and the patriarchate — no matter how much damage such infighting might cause the church or the people. The actions of Isaija Antonović can thus serve as a paradigm for the development of the Karlovci church government between 1731 and 1749. This work details his rise from priest to metropolitan, with attention to both positive and negative actions throughout.

- ИСТОРИЈСКИ КОНТЕКСТ ШИДСКОГ ПЕРИОДА У СЛИКАРСТВУ САВЕ ШУМАНОВИЋА
- The theme of the paper deals with the interesting research issue - a relation between the artist and the era in which he lived. In a particular case, the author was interested in the painter Sava Šumanović and his return from Paris to Šid in 1930. The painter’s poor health made him return to Sid. Difficult historical events which continuously occurred from 1931 to 1942 influenced the life and work of the painter who eventually became their victim, since he was caught by Ustaša-followers during the raid led by Viktor Tomić, and executed in Sremska Mitrovica in August in 1942. The painter’s relation to the era and historical events in which he lived and worked could be understood by studying the letters which he wrote to Rastko Petrović and Vera Milovanović. The painter fiercely attacked the creation of Banovina of Croatia and Croatian nationalism, mentioning the fascist countries and refugees, and feeling the danger lurking from the fascist countries.

- ИСТОРИОГРАФИЈА О ПОРОДИЦИ ДРУГЕТ У СРЕДЊЕМ ВЕКУ
- The paper analyzes the Anjou noble family of Druget’s in the Middle Ages as a historiographic issue. Over the past 200 years, the Druget’s family was directly or indirectly a research subject of eight European historiographies: Hungarian, Slovak, Italian, French, Polish, Ukrainian, Serbian and Croatian. It was the case primarily because of its interesting, French - Naples origin, and influence they had as paladins in Hungary in the first half of the fourteenth century. However, the key point for the historiography regarding the history study of this family was the fire of the Naples State Archives in 1943. Since then, historians have focused on the family presence in Central Europe. Only recent findings from the papers of Italian historiography have again started the topic of the Druget’s origin, which was ‘the problem’ since the infancy of the critical historiography dedicated to this family. The founder of the critical historiography on the history of the family was certainly Carolus Wagner. This erudite, historian, genealogist, and a publisher of historical sources, was actually the first researcher who systematically presented a history and genealogy of the Druget’s family which was already dead. Wagner's text on the Druget’s was published posthumously, in 1802, in the third volume of the famous Collectanea Genealogico-historica illustrium Hungariae familiarum interciderunt que jam.

- КА НОВОЈ ИСТОРИЈСКОЈ СВЕСТИ
- In the period from 1945 to 1947, the new communist authorities sought to emphasize its legitimacy as much as possible, which was based on changes made during the liberation war and revolution. The war and revolution changes had a special place in the public discourse, being understood as a main tool for shaping historical awareness of young generations. Accordingly, there were made changes in curricula of the history teaching in primary schools. In the second half of May 1945, Ministry of Education of Serbia brought the curriculum for primary schools with methodological guidelines for teaching certain subjects. History was studied in the third grade with three hours per week (out of 27 in total), while the four grade studied history four hours per week (out of 29 in total). The curriculum arrangement in the third and the fourth grade was a combination of chronological and progressive principle with the principle of concentric circles. On 28 September 1945, DFY Minister of Education, Vladimir Ribnikar, prescribed the Framework Curriculum for Primary Schools. This curriculum was different in certain respect than the curriculum published by the Ministry of Education of Serbia. The prevailing principle in the Framework Plan was chronologically progressive. The only teaching topic that was repeated both in the third and the fourth grade was the topic of the National Liberation Struggle. Religious education became an optional subject. In the new curriculum, which was drafted by the Ministry of Education of Serbia in 1947, a number of hours of the history teaching remained the same, 3 hours per week (out of 25in total) in the third grade, and four hours per week (out of 26 in total) in the fourth grade. As previously, the curriculum implemented chronologically progressive principle. It was realized very soon that the reduction of the overall history teaching to the National Liberation Struggle was completely useless and not educative, and that it was necessary to establish a new approach to the history teaching.

- КСЕНОФОНТ О ЕРОСУ И ФИЛИЈИ
- Although it might seem, at first glance, that erōs and philia present purely ethical questions, based on Xenophon’s statements it is inferred that he does not distinguish between social and political relations. Consequently, Xenophon’s notions of erōs and philia are relevant for understanding his political views.Although the influence of other Socratics on Xenophon cannot be denied, numerous parallels between him and Plato in their views on erōs are especially important for this study. These parallels, as well as the analysis of the Symposium and the Memorabilia of Socrates, show that Xenophon did not advocate the middle way, according to which physical consummation is tempered with respect for the beloved, soul and body. Though Xenophon does not use Plato’s metaphor of the winged chariot, at the same time he believes that erōs that overwhelms people is often hesitating over its two extremes, between which there is an ongoing battle over the soul of the lover. The main difference is that while in Plato the “heavenly” side of erōs leads to recognition of the eternal ideas and philosophical life through moral self-improvement, in Xenophon the “celestial” erōs leads to political engagement and concern for the welfare of the polis through moral perfecting and philia. The Memorabilia of Socrates shows that Xenophon gave special attention to philia and understood it in a very broad sense. In that way Xenophon reveals that he is best familiar with the traditional view on philia and that he rejects the democratic dichotomy public – personal, i.e. polis – oikos. While demos desired to marginalise the influence of philia on public life, Xenophon’s view is that philia is not a threat to public welfare, but a basis for successful political life.

- ЛАТИНСКА И ГРЧКА РЕДАКЦИЈА ПАСИЈЕ СВ. ИРИНЕЈА СИРМИЈСКОГ
- The literary core of the passion of St. Irenaeus of Sirmium (†304) is believed to be originating from the original Roman court proceedings (acta proconsularia) against the first historical bishop of Sirmium. The passion is preserved in two redactions, Latin and Greek, which made the basis for transmission into other European languages during the Middle Ages. The renowned Italian scholar Manlio Simonetti was the only to conduct a comparative analysis of the two redactions, but actually without taking an insight into the manuscript tradition and the variations within the Greek redactions. Therefore, the paper reexamines the topic, conducts a more elaborate comparative analysis on a much wider selection of manuscripts and consequently promotes new solutions to the question of the original language of the passion and the relation between the two redactions.

- ЛИСИЈИНА БЕСЕДА "ПРОТИВ АГОРАТА" KAO ИСТОРИЈСКИ ИЗВОР
- The author of the paper analyzes Lysias’ thirteenth oration entitled Against Agoratus as a historical source. Agoratus was accused for killing Dionysodorus, an Athenian taxiarchos, one of democratic leaders. The oration was delivered by the accuser, Dionysodorus’ brother before the Athenian Court in 399/8 BC. Along with different evidence for the accusation, Lysias supplies us with many precious information on the Athenian history of the late 5th and early 4th centuries BC, i.e. on the end of the Peloponnesian War, preparations and plots for the abolishment of democracy by the antidemocratic and oligarchic forces in Athens, establishment of the collective oligarchic tyranny of the Thirty and finally on the restoration of democracy. Analyzing the information on mentioned historical events and perpetrators, the author of the paper gives in first Serbian translation of Lysias’ oration Against Agoratus.

- ЛУИЂИ Ф. МАРСИЉИ И СРЕМСКИ СЕКТОР ДУНАВА У ДЕЛУ "DANUBIUS PANNONICO-MYSICUS"
- Luigi F. Marsigli (1658-1730) was a descendant of a noble family of Bologna, adventurer and soldier, virtuoso and an erudite man, who shined with his intelligence and versatility. This paper is an attempt of historical reconstruction and a brief overview of the scientific works of this polyhistor. Also, the paper reviews his capital work Danubius Pannonico-Mysicus, which describes the flow of the Danube on its passage through Pannonian and Moesian region. Special attention is directed to the middle section, mostly sector of the river in Srem (Syrmia), the sector that occupies the territory from Vukovar to Belgrade. The research was inspired by generally scarce data on this topic, both in Serbian and in Yugoslav historiography. Analysis of the source with reference to the existing research and a synthesis of my own opinions in this paper will give a new result and a new understanding of the work of count Marsigli.

- МИГРАЦИОНА КРЕТАЊА СРПСКОГ НАРОДА У БОСНИ У ВРЕМЕ ВЕЛИКОГ БЕЧКОГ РАТА
- At the time of the Great Vienna War (1683-1699) there were large migration flows in the Balkans. The paper explains the migrations of the Orthodox (Serbian) and the Catholic population from Bosnia, which remained under the Turkish rule, to the newly liberated areas of Croatia and Slavonia. If the Bosnian migrations from this period are analzyed as a separate segment, it could be concluded that several tens of thousands of the Orthodox and Catholics migrated from Bosnia to Croatia and Slavonia, what largely resulted in filling this empty territory, strengthening the defensive power of the Habsburg Monarchy in relation to Turkey.
