This article deals with the ability of the concept of rhythm functioning in the texts of Deleuze and Guattari to discern the lines of navigation of thought from philosophy towards different forms of art (literature, cinema, painting, music) and backwards. Starting from the dynamic cartography of the problems and concepts discerned as suitable for such thought experiments by Sauvagnargues, Buchanan, Bogue, and Zepke, this research comes to the conclusion that the concept of rhythm is a suitable link for navigation of the possible cohesions between philosophy and different arts. The concept of ‘rhythm’ becomes a philosophical concept in the texts of Deleuze and Guattari and gains the ontological status transcending limits of philosophy and arts. It functions in the territory between the sound, word, and image, as well as the work of art, philosophy and life. Mainly from this ontological perspective, this concept receives the power to reveal not only horizontal, but also vertical, genealogical aspects of art as the process of becoming.

Animated children’s films produced in the Soviet Union from the 1930s to the 1970s contain references to Polish music. They usually take the form of references to the polonaise, less often – to the repertoire of popular music. Recalling Polish dances by Soviet composers indicates, among others, the continuation of the tradition of using the polonaise as a court and ceremonial dance existing in Russia since the 18th century. The conclusions presented in the article were obtained through the audit analysis of soundtracks of seven selected films and their visual-narrative layer. Examples of Polish musical inspirations are discussed, taking into account the sound context of a given soundtrack as a whole. Polonaise inspirations are present in the movies with the music of: N. Bogoslóvskij (Kot v sapogah, 1938; Tri mušketera, 1938), M. Weinberg (Polkan i Šavka, 1949; Dvenadcatʹ mesâcev), B. Savélʹev (Mestʹ kota Leopolʹda, 1975). In the film Skazka skazok (1979, music by M. Meeróvič), tango The Last Sunday of J. Petersburski is cited., in episode 4 (1971) of the series Nu, pogodi! – Brass Bands from the repertoire of H. Kunicka.

The article discusses the rapidly evolving capabilities and growing presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based systems through which synthetic media content is created. Although many organizations use the ability to generate synthetic media content for legitimate use, at the same time, there has been an increase in published manipulative and misleading media content intended for fraud, extortion or other unethical purposes. Artificially created content is useful, on the one hand, for projects in which it is used for voice recovery or missing information, and on the other hand it is dangerous when it is used to replace objective reality or to spread disinformation.

Al- Shuaybiyya Mosque in the old city of Aleppo is recorded in Arabic chronicles as the first mosque built in the city by the Muslims. Its position commemorates the location of their first prayer. It is suggested that it was built on over Roman remains, then rebuilt in Zengid period during the reign of Nur al- Din al- Zengi. It underwent a renovation in the 14th century, and possibly most of the surviving structure either dates to the Ayyubid or the Mamluk period. However, to our knowledge, this mosque has not been explored in the con-text of an analytical architectural study to trace the remains of each period. This paper aims to examine the architectural development of the mosque using terrestrial laser scanning to identify the elements of the previous structures. The use of laser scanning offers highly accurate survey results, in addition to a better identification of architectural elements and their relation to the structure and the modern-day city. The conducted survey-study suggests the chronology of the building (phases of construction and their limits), based on the architectural analysis of the digital model and consultation of previous studies and historical text.

Space is a political and ideological concept. (Lefebvre, 1977:341, 1991:278-282). Every order, every constellation of power intervenes in the space and transforms it into the territory to ensure its sustainability and prevent its overcoming. Hence, the territory is the power materialized in space. (Lefebvre, 2009:224). The territory is a politically organized space - a structured system of rules governing the exchange of meaning (culture), the exchange of goods (economy) and personal relations (sociability). At first, the authority trying to control space directly by the visual-aesthetic organization of space. The authority embodies itself in the space by defining and manifesting its power in monumental buildings. In that case, graffiti relativizes the physical control of space. As the visual disruption in the space, graffiti as a youth resistance has a direct connection with the moral disorder. Showing the inability of authority to control the physical space, graffiti takes away sovereignty from the authority in the most explicit way - in those places where authority celebrates its sovereignty through monumental buildings. Second, the authority trying to control space indirectly by standardization psychosocial connection between the meaning, behavior, and space. The authority embodies itself in the space by prescribing what type of behavior is acceptable and appropriate for a particular space. In that case, the presence of graffiti in the public space disturbs the dominant distribution of meaning. Graffiti relativizes the symbolic, social and psychological control over behavior in space, by counteracting the impersonal and static power of authority with the personal and fluid power of Lifeworld. As an act of rebellion and subversion against the authority that embodies its power in space, in the sociological sense graffiti represents the ontological and revolutionary potential of Lifeworld. As a non-territorial, transgressive and heterotopic, graffiti disrupt and prevents power in the continual production of territory. Graffiti deteriorate the space – by graffiti territory has been subjected to processes of destabilization, restructuring, and transformation. In short, graffiti shows that power is losing space.

The paper discusses The House with a Clock in Its Walls (1973) by John Bellairs and its film adaptation, directed by Eli Roth (2018), from queer theory and gender studies perspectives. The author of the article aims to overview and develop existing queer in‑terpretations of the first novel in the Lewis Barnavelt series, with contextual references to the cycle’s subsequent volumes, and to conduct a queer theory ‑inspired analysis of Roth’s motion picture. The genre represented by the novel and the film is also consid‑ered by taking the scholarly reflections on the queer aspects of the Gothic and the hor‑ror into account. The author concludes that although both versions of the story fail at portraying femininity in an unconventional way, they succeed in showing that queer‑ness and, more generally, the Otherness should be highly appreciated and valued.

The aim of the paper is to analyse The Light Princess (1864), a fairy tale by George MacDonald, and its musical adaptation from 2013 staged in the Royal National Theatre in London. The authors of the lyrics are Samuel Adamson, a playwright, and Tori Amos, a singer, who is also responsible for the music in the show. The fairy tale tells the story of a young princess cursed to be devoid of weight and the ability to feel sadness, as well as of her process of maturing into an adult woman. The author of the paper presents similarities and differences between the original tale dating to the late 19th century and its 21st century adaptation, along with their ties to folktale tropes. The analysis aims not only to set forth the vision of adulthood as described by MacDonald, but also to propound how the definitions of adulthood and womanhood could have changed over the course of a century of dynamic emancipation of women. According to the author, while MacDonald consciously subverts multiple fairy tale tropes, Adamson and Amos introduce modern elements to the text without integrating them into the fairy tale adaptation and with little regard for its folk inspirations. Driven by the desire to rewrite a modern, feminist version of the 19th century fairy tale, Adamson and Amos often achieve opposite results.

In the article, the author focuses on the visual aspects of the book entitled Horror, written by Madlena Szeliga and illustrated by Emilia Dziubak, published by Gereon from Krakow in 2017. It is a collection of twenty literary miniatures which describe the tragical fate of seventeen different species of vegetables and fruit, and also champignons, a sunflower, and nettles, treated as food on a regular basis, whereas here they are depicted as living, and therefore feeling, specimens. The book makes interesting references to a centuries-old tradition of representing death, martyrdom, and suffering as well as vanitas threads popular especially in the period of Baroque rather than to a horror repertoire. For horror as a genre is quite well established in literature and film studies and not so much in fine arts research, the article discusses inspirations from Early Modern European painting, both religious, allegorical, and still life, as well as from Baroque epitaphs and ornamentation, very creatively used by the illustrator. The author of the article also underlines the tradition of animation and personification of plants which derives from the 19th-century European book illustration.

Death, sadness, alienation, and confusion are themes that are rarely associated with children’s animated series. Nevertheless, there are multi-episode TV programs that – similarly to books, video games, and films – raise such issues even though they are created for young viewers. In that way, they not only break the cultural taboo, but also offer aesthetics and sensitivity that complement the image of mainstream children’s programming as laid-back and cheerful. As an interesting example, one might point to Patrick McHale’s Over the Garden Wall (2014), an animated series that deals with such themes as fear or death in a unique way, showing them against the background of adventure and wandering. In this article, the authors focus on the ways in which the work resonates with the mentioned motifs, but also with history and popular culture. The analysis leads to a conclusion that Over the Garden Wall is an intertextual series, open to interpretation for younger and older viewers alike, as well as enabling the experience of a Thanatic catharsis – a cleansing from the negative feelings associated with death and loss.
