Abstract:

The present situation in relations between Europe and the other Continents
usually subsumed under the classical field of Oriental and African studies
brought to the light, again, the crucial (yet underestimated, or better too
late estimated) role of research in their contact and conflict in the field of
language and culture.The underestimation of contacts and conflicts in language
and culture is partly due to what was labelled almost fifty years ago as
“Europocentrism” and “Europophobia” so often prevailing in these studies. In
launching this modest irregular research journal, our aim is to open thus
another equal chance for both sides (i.e Europe and the Others) to turn to
their original roots in order to understand better one each other, before it
is too late. This first volume brings several earlier papers presented at a
special meeting held in cooperation between the Centre for the Studies of
Contacts and Conflicts in Language and Culture and the Prague Linguistic
Circle to commemorate Hugo Schuchard’s influence in areal language studies
(Siegmund Brauner: Hugo Schuchardt und die Traditionen der Leipziger
Sprachwissenschaft, Robert Nicolaï: Hugo Schuchardt: Un Marginal? Une icône?
Un modèle ? Petr Zima: Hugo Schuchardt, Vilém Mathesius and the Prague
Linguistic Traditions. At the same time, several papers supported by the Czech
Science Foundation Project Continuity and Discontinuity in Communication are
presented: Radek Nedvěd: On Sociolinguistic Features of Grootfontein Urban
!Kun San Dweller, Naďa Zimová: The Ottoman Turks in Tripolitania/Libya: The
Forgotten Images of the Conflict in 1911-1912). Several more recent papers
have arisen at the platform of the Centre, supported by private grants, and
most recently by other Charles University Grants, including the PRVOUK
project. 

Several articles use in-depth reviewing of current publications as a pretext
for reacting to current areal, continental or even global topic: Faire
entrevoir l'Europe aux Européens à travers leur langues: Réflexions en guise
de compte-rendu du livre. George J. (Jiří) Marvan : Introducing Europe to
Europeans through their language (One Europe for centuries) was prepared by
Tomáš Hoskovec. Was ist eigentlich die Afrikanistik? A review-article with
comments on global questions pertinent in the identical title of the book by
Wolff, H. Ekkehard, unter Mitarbeit von Ari Awagana und Marion Feuerstein is
presented by Petr Zima. Similar review articles are presented by Rudolf Legeř
(dealing with a recently published descriptive Chadic Monography on Mubi,
compiled by H. Junggraithmayr), and Stáňa Boušková (whose review article is
focussed on the oral/written forms of languages). A review of an earlier
LINCOM Studies in Communication Volume 07 dealing with the same topic is
offered by George Marvan, together with several reviews by Georgio Cadorini,
Mirka Gruenwaldt, Petr Zima and others.
