Author(s): Abbas Mohammadian,Ali Sadeghimanesh / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2015

The present study is about the impact of Sufi literature onthe emergence ofthe emancipated Media in Iran. Literature was the most powerful media, when there was not television, radio and internet. As, media is an important tool for maintaining the legitimation of regimes, rulers were trying to make a powerful control on poetry and poets. Economic conditions, publishing and distribution situation and the other limitations were the reason of poets’ dependence on the rulers. The emergence ofSufiliteraturewas asthe balance ofpower inmedia. Sufi poets were so powerful, so they did not have to obey the rulers. Sanaee was the first raised Sufi poet that freed poetry from ruler’s control and balanced the power of Media.

Rzeczywistość (re)konstruowana przez obrazy. O kulturach wizualnych Niemiec w latach 1945-1949

Author(s): Ewelina Twardoch / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

Współczesne badania nad obrazowością w dużej mierze opierają się na świadomości kreacyjnej mocy obrazów. Oznacza ona, że obraz nie stanowi jedynie reprezentacji rzeczywistości czy referencji dla procesów mentalnych, ale jest czynnikiem kształtującym i transformującym zarówno realną czasoprzestrzeń, jak i procesy poznawcze istot żyjących1. Obrazy odgrywają więc rolę aktorów/agentów, żyjących obiektów (living things) o faktycznej mocy sprawczej, która jednak jest odmienna w przypadku obrazów o różnej proweniencji (na przykład analogowych oraz cyfrowych).

МАСКАТА НА БОРЕЙ: ДРЕВНА ТРАКИЯ И ТРАКИТЕ КАТО ПАРАДИГМА НА ДРУГОСТТА И ДРУГИЯ В СТАРОАТИЧЕСКИЯ ТЕАТЪР

Author(s): / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 21/2016

Constructing identities inevitably generates otherness. In ancient Greek and in Old-Attic culture, otherness is usually deliberately inscribed in formal ethnic-geographic frameworks by opposing the Greek-speaking population (i.е., those with Hellenic culture-behaviour = paideia) to the barbarians who did not know Greek, i.e., the logos not familiar with democracy. That model is usually reduced to identifying the problems connected with the image of the Other (in ethnic or religious terms) in the effort of gaining further self-awareness through better knowledge of the neighbours. However, the otherness culture is also a process with which a community/culture excludes certain people(s) on account of their difference. The paper examines the issues of the type of model of the relation-interpretation of the ancient Thracian world and the Thracians applied by classical Old-Attic culture, and accordingly by the Old-Attic theatre in constructing the polis identity of the Athenian citizens, and whether that model fits the general opposition Hellenism – barbarianism. The analysis of the dramaturgical material is focused on the artistic, dramaturgical and literary efforts to construct Otherness through Ancient Thrace and the ancient Thracian elements in Old-Attic culture. A conclusion is proposed that Ancient Thrace, transformed and reduced to dramaturgical and cultural topos, was interpolated in the Old-Attic theatre so as to materialise the system of otherness and to be modelled as a paradigm of otherness, but also as an effort to overcome it by constructing models of increasing closeness.

The level of professional pedagogical culture of future specialists of socionomical professions is determined with forming professional and personal qualities. After all, professional pedagogical culture, as a synthesis of the competences and professional qualities, is an important indicator of a highly qualified specialist

Albanian Cultural Representation In The City Of Venice Through Albanian Painters In Italy

Author(s): Ndreu Irena / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2017

Many men of education run away to European cities after the invasion of the entire Balkan Peninsula. The ideals of humanism and renaissance were affirmed, thanks to their intelligence, which brought the Greek-Roman classicism to the top of the fields of literature and art. This paper will present the works of brothers Gjon (Giovanni) and Pal (Paolo) Gazulli, the poet Michele Marulli, the writer Marin Barleti (Marino Barlezio), the philosopher Leonik Tomeu, the painter Vittore Carpaccio, excelled with their talent and works in the city of Venice. The Albanian community needed a fortune to compete with groups from other nations, with the Dalmatians among many. They needed to decorate the premises of their association with precious objects and paintings: there is proof of this in the paintings of Vittore Carpaccio, in the first years of the XVIth century. Carpaccio‟s works are important, they present, in the cycle “Stories of St. Ursula”, the uniform of Albanian soldiers serving the Republic of Venice.

Ucząc się od romskiego koczowiska

Author(s): Monika Weychert-Waluszko / Language(s): English,Polish,Romany Issue: 1/2016

Roma from Romania have been setting their camps in Poland since the early 1990s, so for a quarter of a century now. Yet this phenomenon of inhabitation has not been too often subjected to theoretical or conceptual reflection. This essay focuses on the possible reasons of this exclusion: entrenched stereotypes that obscure the socio-economic background of Roma migrations, as well as on the significant difference between the permanent architecture of houses or housing schemes inhabited by Roma versus the temporary architecture of the camps. An analysis of cultural texts indicates a shared interest in this temporary dwellings on the part of the historical Situationists and contemporary Polish and Roma visual artists; the Dutch architect Constant’s utopia of nomadic cities belongs to the former. Today the architecture of Roma camps can be treated not only as a ‘shadow architecture’ excluded from the public discourse, but also as an inspiration and challenge for present-day thinking about housing design: low-cost, time-effective, in tune with ecological and recycling ideas.

Quelques Remarques sur les Origines de l’Art Figuratif Thrace (VIe–Ve s.)

Author(s): Jan Bouzek / Language(s): French Issue: 19/2011

In the spirit of the studies conducted by Prof. Ivan Venedikov on Thracian art and its links with Persian, Greek and Scythian art, the author of this paper offers his contribution to the research issues on the basis of more recent archaeological discoveries. In his opinion, similar to the evolution of Etruscan art, the historical periods connected with the artistic style in Thrace do not succeed one another with clearly marked transitions. In order to understand the specificities of the “archaic” style in Thracian art (late 6th – early 5th century BC), it is necessary to take into consideration the political situation and the import of Greek works of art in Thrace. The author defends the view that archaic Thracian art can be perceived only in the context of the relations and cultural exchanges with Macedonia, Greece, Persian and Ionian Anatolia, and Scythia. He has illustrated his study with numerous examples from the Thracian lands: the objects found in the necropolis from Duvanlii, the little deer from Sevlievo, the matrix from Garchinovo, the belt from the village of Lovets, the ring from Brezovo, as well as imported painted Attic pottery. During the archaic stage Thracian art borrowed from neighbouring lands, while preserving certain specificities inherited from the geometric and “Orientalising” periods. At the same time, it laid the foundations for the development of the classical period in its two main regions: Odrysian and Danubian.

The Sword God

Author(s): Maya Vassileva / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2011

The paper offers an analysis and reinterpretation of relief No 82 displayed in hall B of the most famous Hittite rock complex-sanctuary near Yazılıkaya. The relief, which represents a human head and body formed by lion protomes complemented with two more vertical lion’s images with heads downwards, shapes the grip of a sword. A part of its blade is also depicted below the described composition. The author proposes instead of the generally accepted identification of the sword figure with Nergal to perceive the image as Ullikummi – a monstrous stone giant in Hurrian mythology – whose functions are semantically close to those of Ubeluri, and a parallel is proposed with Atlas in Greek mythology. The cosmogonic elements in the figure of the mediator Ullikummi are indicated, as well as the structure of the stone relief from Yazılıkaya, which is developed in three zones: a human head at the tip of the grip, lion’s figures shaping the actual grip, and the blade that is presented as if struck into the ground. In conclusion, emphasising the parallels between ancient Greek and Middle East mythologies, the author recalls the information in Herodotus about the Thracian and Scythian Ares worshipped as iron sword.

Encore une Fois sur la “Déesse de Razgrad” et les Plus Anciens des “Cavaliers Danubiens”

Author(s): Zlatozara Gočeva / Language(s): French Issue: 19/2011

In the proposed text the author examines and analyses three tablets with images of the so-called “Danube Horsemen” and tablets from Razgrad featuring an anonymous goddess, placing them in a broader cultural and historical context. A critical survey of research conducted so far on the theme was made in the course of the study. The author believes that the origin of the iconography of the Danube Horsemen” can be sought in the Thracian Horseman. As regards the tablets from Razgrad with the image of the goddess, their cult character is beyond any doubt: the Thracian Great Goddess-Mother is depicted on them. A comparative analysis is made with the phalerae from the village of Galiche and with other monuments. The same local Thracian goddess offering a wreath to the ruler is depicted in the scene from the tomb in the village of Sveshtari, which is also in the Razgrad region. In conclusion, the view is accepted that the examined goddess and horsemen present a local Thracian cult connected with Asia Minor.

On Some Discoveries of the Warsaw University Expedition at Novae (1960–1983)

Author(s): Ludwika Press / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2011

The text offers a survey of the results of the archaeological explorations of the Bulgarian-Polish expedition, which started in 1960 on the territory of the Roman city of Novae, on the right bank of the Danube, near Svishtov. The localisation of the settlement became possible owing to the data from the Roman itineraries, different ancient written evidence and finds on the surface: mostly inscriptions and building ceramics with a seal bearing the name of the First Italic Legion, which was known to have been stationed in Novae. The shape of the fortification was confirmed based on archaeological data, the fortress walls and towers were traced, as well as the city gates, which were found to have undergone several successive phases of reconstruction. The principia with its two building phases was localised in the city’s central part. The building was demolished in the early 4th century, and then new habitation followed, this time of a civilian nature. A marble head of Caracalla was found in the stratum of the demolition, and in some of the rooms from that period – bronze ingots, lead pipes and a coin hoard. It is assumed that the accumulation of metal objects was connected with the smelting of metal. Five or six street levels were found by means of drilling not far from the principia. Ruins from the military hospital that had been built in the early 2nd century were unearthed in the northwestern part of the fortress. Inscriptions dedicated to Asclepius and Hygeia were found and the building was apparently heated by means of the hypocaust system. The forum was localised and close to it a large Christian basilica was explored.

(РА)СТВАРАЊЕ PERSONAE DRAMATIS У МАГБЕТУ ЕЖЕНА ЈОНЕСКА

Author(s): Katarina Z. Milić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 57/2015

Dans ce travail nous offrons les résultats de l’analyse des concepts dramatiques contemporains par rapport au théâtre dit traditionnel, et nous prêtons attention surtout au statut du personnage dramatique, vu que celui-ci est l’un des éléments inévitables dans la structure dramatique. Notre but est de présenter des tendences singulières du théâtre de l’absurde (le degré zéro du théâtre), et plus particulièrement la création des personnages dramatiques en tant que des figures disséminatives, mais aussi d’indiquer leur rôle dans le théâtre contemporain et leur rapport avec les contraintes structurales de celui-ci.

ПАУЛО ФРЕИРЕ И АУГУСТО БОАЛ: ПЕДАГОГИЈА И ПОЗОРИШТЕ KAO СТОЖЕРИ РЕВОЛУЦИЈЕ

Author(s): Ivana Bančević Pejović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 59/2016

The Brazilian educator Paulo Freire (1921-1997), and the Brazilian theatre director Augusto Boal (1931-2009), met in 1960 in the poorest part of Brazil and immediately recognized each other as comrades engaged in the same task of conscientization (conscientização) of the oppressed. Hence, the titles of their famous books are Freire’s The Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1968) and Boal’s The Theatre of the Oppressed (1973). It should be noted that this term, or rather its French equivalent, conscienciser, was first used by Frantz Fanon in his book Black Skin, White Masks (1952) and that for these three authors conscientization represents the key method for both the physical and the mental liberation of the oppressed. Another author, Ng g wa Thiong’o, calls it the key strategy for decolonizing the mind. This essay explores the interaction between pedagogy and theatre in education, used for the conscientization of the oppressed by enabling them to critically interpret reality. Freire and Boal share the conviction that pedagogy and theatre can play the most important role in bringing about a revolution that would, before all, establish social justice in the world. After the military coup in 1964, when dictatorship was established in Brazil once again, both Freire and Boal spent many years of their lives in exile. This fact testifies to the power of their ideas, recognized at once as a major threat to the dictatorship. They continued their work on conscientization in neighboring counties of Latin America, Freire in Chile, and Boal in Peru. Combined with Liberation Theology, as part of various experiments in liberation undertaken throughout South America, their work has proved to be very effictive and inspiring.

Rola Jane Wilhelminy Stirling w życiu Fryderyka Chopina oraz w kultywowaniu dziedzictwa i pamięci o kompozytorze

Author(s): Paulina Pieńkowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01 (32)/2017

The role of Jane Wilhelmina Stirling in Fryderyk Chopin’s life, as well as in the cultivation of his legacy, is underestimated to this day. Jane Stirling was not only Chopin’s pupil, but also his patron. She organized a concert tour to England and Scotland for Chopin, and tried to provide the composer with a donation for his living expenses. She financed his funeral, as well as the costs of erecting his gravestone. After the composer’s death she turned her attention to what Chopin had left behind. It is thought that she purchased most of the items from his last apartment; in a separate transaction she acquired the last piano the composer had played. She tried to protect the autographed manuscripts he had left, and attempted to arrange the publication of compositions left only in sketch form.

Kompozycje mszalne Mikołaja z Radomia w kontekście twórczości mszalnej Antonia Zacary da Teramo i Johannesa Ciconii

Author(s): Joanna Miszke / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01 (32)/2017

The aim of the article is to bridge the gap in the study of Nicolaus de Radom’s output by presenting a comparative analysis of his works as juxtaposed with other European artists. The prevailing opinion of musicologists, such as Maria Szczepańska and Mirosław Perz, is that Nicolaus de Radom’s music is closely related to the works of northern Italian composers. However, such a claim has not yet been supported with the detailed comparative analysis. The article presents the analysis of the manuscripts Kras 52 and Wn 378, signed by Nicolaus de Radom, confronted with selected masses by Johannes Ciconia and Antonio Zacara da Teramo. A detailed analysis of a two-sectioned cyclic mass helps to distinguish certain similarities and differences in the unification of the Mass pairs, as they are exemplified in the music of the composers. The works of all of the three artists manifest secular songs’ influence on the shaping of the Mass as a genre, although each composer adapts it in a slightly different way. Moreover, it is stated that a thorough analysis of the 15th-century Masses is necessary to determine whether there are any links between Nicolaus de Radom’s, Antonio Zacara da Teramo’s and Johannes Ciconia’s works, and whether there are any similarities in their compositional technique. Presented analysis of de Radom’s, Zacara da Teramo’s and Ciconia’s Masses refutes the claim that Nicolaus de Radom’s output bears closest relation to those of Zacara da Teramo’s. The results of the study reveal that there are no straightforward examples which would support such a theory.

Dwie strony olimpijskiego medalu – kontrowersje wokół II Symfonii „Olimpijskiej” (1948) Zbigniewa Turskiego. Przyczynki do analizy

Author(s): Karolina Bindel / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01 (32)/2017

The main topic of the article is II Sinfonia Olimpicaby Zbigniew Turski, a composer who is barely known in Poland nowadays. The reason of this is the socio-political situation of the country after World War II. The composer was one of first victims of Stalinist cultural policy. At a conference in Łagów Lubuski in 1949, his II Sinfonia Olimpica was named formalistic, pessimistic and incompatible with the socialist realism standards. However, the composition had won a gold medal at the XIV Olympic Games in London in 1948 and this success had had a great resonance in Polish music press before the conference.The article has several objectives. The first of them is to present socio-political situation in musical environment. Moreover, it shows the reception of the symphony after its premiere at the conference in Łagów Lubuski. Finally, an attempt to analyze the II Sinfonia Olimpica is made. It is noticed that the symphony stands out against other compositions created in the mid-twentieth century particularly by dint of its deeply emotional and dramatic character. The achieved mood results from traumatic war experience of the composer. Although the neoclassical tradition is visible, Turski used the innovative musical language and his attempt to create his own music style is noticeable. According to the author’s opinion, if it had not been socialist realism in the mid-twentieth century, II Sinfonia Olimpica could be now perceived as one of the most important symphonies created within the last century in Poland.
