When Masonry Destroyed Romanian Wooden Churches.

Author(s): Aurora Petronela Luca / Language(s): French Issue: 3/2019

L’histoire des églises en bois des communautés roumaines du comté d’Alba peut être synthétisée par les statistiques suivantes : près de deux-cent lieux de culte ont été identifiés, dont cent-quarante-cinq ont disparu, pour diverses raisons. Habituellement, si la disparition était la con-séquence d’une calamité, le plus souvent une incendie, et si l’événement avait eu lieu avant le xixe siècle, la nouvelle église était par la suite reconstruite à nou-veau en bois. Cependant, plus de quatre-vingt-dix églises en bois (voire cent-trente d’après d’autres estimations) ont été détruites et remplacées par des églises bâties. Ce vaste programme d’édification a commencé au milieu du xviiie siècle dans les Carpates Occidentales (Apuseni) et autour de la ville de Blaj. L’apogée se situe entre les der-nières décennies du xixe siècle et les premières décennies du xxe siècle. Cela justifie le peu d’informations dispo-nibles sur leur disparition. L’histoire de chaque édifice s’explique à travers plusieurs cas de figure: églises vendues intégralement à d’autres paroisses ; églises désaffectées, le matériel étant vendu ou transformé en combustible pour alimenter les fours utilisées dans la fabrication des briques nécessaires à la construction d’une nouvelle église ; églises abandonnées, disparues discrètement après une période plus ou moins longue. Plus, des deux tiers des quel-ques deux-cent églises en bois de l’actuel comté d’Alba ont été victimes de la modernisation et du progrès de la société roumaine transylvanienne, très pré-coce dans cette région administrative, bien avant l’union de la Tran-sylvanie à la Roumanie. Quant à la situation des quarante-huit communautés qui possèdent encore des églises en bois, vingt d’entre-elles fréquentent en réalité des églises bâties, les églises en bois étant abandonnées, depuis plu-sieurs décennies, dans un état de dégradation avancé. Trente-six édifices sont inscrits sur la liste des monuments historiques, parmi lesquels se trouvent également six bâtiments entièrement ou principalement rénovés et deux églises disparues. Dans le présent article, afin de donner une image plus précise du phénomène de réduction dras-tique du nombre d’églises en bois au profit du bâti, celles-ci sont présentées dans l’ordre de leur disparition. Quel-ques informations relatives à la période de construction, à la peinture pariétale et aux ob-jets de culte sont égale-ment fournies lorsque nous avons pu recueillir les données nécessaires. Le tableau final permet d’avoir une image de l’ampleur des pertes subies par l’histoire de la culture et par l’histoire de l’art, voire par le patrimoine national

Достъпът на хора с увреждания до програмите на аудиовизуалните доставчици на медийни услуги – задължение и демократична ценност

Author(s): Diliana Kirkovska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2018

Audiovisual media services providers play informational, educational, social, cultural roles and therefore it is of extreme importance all parts of their programmes to be easy of reach for every consumer. At high level that is to be obligatory for people with specific difficulties of usage of the media, such as the visually and hearing impaired persons/blind or deaf –TV media content should be naturally accessible via various tools and no extra charge. At high extend the legislation in Bulgaria is appropriate and well prescribed but in practice that presentation is out of time and humiliatingly small in quantity and access tools.The media providers should deliver to that specific part of the audience full access to their programmes by using different approaches – the sign-language translation, audiodescriptions and audiosubtitles, subtitles in multiplex platforms, as well as news scrolls as an alternative tool. That is a mark of the democratic society – not to exclude that part of the public but on the contrary – the visually and hearing impaired persons should get media content at ease anytime and anywhere.

Смяна на парадигмите: алтернативна журналистика е възможна

Author(s): Ilya Valkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 8/2020

For the last years in Bulgaria there are more and more examples about the capturing of the big media, indecent flirtation between the media, the government and the ruling parties, pressure on editorial content, expulsion of critical journalists in the media periphery. The public space is highly radicalized due to political and economic confrontations. This negative trend is also creating new forms of alternative, opposition journalism, which is even waging a guerrilla war with the powerful political and financial centers. And probably for the first time in Bulgaria we see an opportunity for changing the dominating model – new media platforms seek financial support from the citizens.

Les peintures de l’église Saint-Sauveur de Berestovo

Author(s): Vera Tchentsova / Language(s): French Issue: 4/2020

In the autumn of 1643, Greek painters completed the frescoes decorating the Berestovo church in Kyiv on behalf of metropolitan Peter Moghila. The iconographic program relied on a specific tradition whose origin can be traced to 14th-century Northern Balkans. fte chief features of this iconography are the ‘Imperial Deesis’, combined in the Kyivan church with an iconography inspired by Psalm 44 [45]:9 (“Upon thy right hand did stand the Leen…”). It represents Christ “King of Kings”, dressed as an emperor and flanked by a crowned Virgin and a depiction of King David, identified with Grand Prince Vladimir. The church decoration mirrors contemporary theological debates on the Eucharist, reproducing the similar 14th-century controversies on liturgy.
