Prednáška „Hovoriť znamená konať“
Na pôdu Katedry anglistiky a amerikanistiky zavítala 14. novembra 2023 frankofónna návšteva z Maďarska. Pani Éva Kováts je dlhoročnou vyučujúcou francúzštiny a organizátorkou frankofónneho spoločenského života v meste Miškovec.
Prednášajúca si vzala na mušku jazyk ako systém – vo francúzštine vysvetľovala všeobecné základy jazykovedy a spomenula najznámejších protagonistov teórie jazyka. Najzaujímavejšou časťou prednášky boli poznatky o jazykoch sveta – ich počte, skupinách a neznámych väzbách medzi nimi. Prekvapenie spôsobil poznatok, že vo svete úplne zanikne jeden jazyk každé dva týždne.
Nefrankofónnej časti publika sprostredkovali prednášané poznatky študentky francúzskeho modulu programu Anglický jazyk pre európske inštitúcie a ekonomiku. Prvýkrát mali príležitosť mimo tlmočníckeho laboratória zúročiť poznatky, ktoré nadobudli na hodinách simultánneho tlmočenia.

Lecture „To speak is to act“
On November 14, 2023, we hosted another French-speaking visitor from Hungary at the Department of British and American Studies. Ms. Éva Kováts is a French teacher and an organizer of French-based cultural events in the city of Miskolc.
In her talk, the speaker tackled language as a system – she explained the general basics of linguistics in French and also mentioned some of the most famous names in the theory of language. The most interesting part of the talk was the information about the languages of the world – their number, their groups, and the unknown connections among them. Students were surprised by the fact that a language disappears from the world every two weeks.
Our students of the French module of the English for European Institutions and Economics program provided interpreting for the non-French-speaking part of the audience. It was a first-time opportunity for our students to use the skills they have acquired in their simultaneous interpreting classes.

Coffee with Mgr. Petra Filipová, PhD. and doc. Mgr. Adriana Jesenková, PhD.
On March 9, 2023 our students had the opportunity to attend an event connected to the International Women's Day and discuss questions related to gender equality and gender policies in academia with doc. Mgr. Adriana Jesenková, PhD., the Department of Philosophy, and Mgr. Petra Filipová, PhD., the Department of British American Studies FF UPJŠ. The number of students who attended the event in the Minerva cafeteria, the duration of the discussion for an hour and a half, as well as students' observant and inspiring questions prove that gender equality is a topic of much interest and we would be happy to participate in another similar event to expand the dialogue.

9. marca 2023 sa v rámci aktivít spojených s Medzinárodným dňom žien uskutočnila diskusia, v ktorej sa študenti a študentky mohli zapojiť do debaty o rodovej rovnosti a rodových politikách na univerzite s docentkou Adrianou Jesenkovou z Katedry filozofie a dr. Petrou Filipovou z Katedry anglistiky a amerikanistiky FF UPJŠ. Počet študentov a študentiek na podujatí v Minerve, dĺžka diskusie, ktorá presiahla hodinu a pol, ako aj mnohé uvedomelé a inšpirujúce otázky od študentov a študentiek dokazujú, že téma rodovej rovnosti je stále aktuálna. Radi sa podobného podujatia zúčastníme opäť, aby sme v tomto rozhovore mohli pokračovať.

Webinar “Voodoo and Hoodoo, A Magic and Religion among African Americans”
Fulbright Slovakia invites you to a webinar, “Voodoo and Hoodoo, A Magic and Religion among African Americans”. Join us in a late celebration of February as Black History Month to honor the contributions and legacy of African Americans across U.S. history and society.
Guest speaker: Jeffrey ANDERSON – the U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Slovakia, who specializes in the history of the American South, African American history, and the Atlantic World. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Florida and now serves as a full professor and associate director of the School of Humanities at the University of Louisiana Monroe. Currently, he is affiliated with the departments of British and American Studies and of History of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice.
Jeffrey will provide a brief overview of African American history and will talk about Voodoo and Hoodoo. As he says: “Voodoo is a word that many people in America and around the world have heard, but few understand what it means. Though the average person associates it with magic and evil deeds, such was not necessarily the case. While magic, called Hoodoo, was indeed a part of Voodoo, the latter was a full-fledged religion, complete with its own pantheon of deities, communal ceremonies, and clergy, that once existed in the Mississippi River Valley.” Jeffrey will happily answer all questions after his presentation.
Webinar will be held on March 17, 2022 at 6pm (18:00 CET) and the attendance is free.
You have to register in advance and we will share a link for the zoom meeting before the event https://forms.gle/…jdQJyWXDBGK6. Deadline for the registration is March 17 at 2pm (14:00 CET)
