Kulturno-umjetničko blago samostana Guča Gora

Author(s): Fatima Maslić / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Prosvjetiteljski i kulturni rad neodvojiv je od pastoralnog djelovanja bosanskih franjevaca koji su, u okviru Bosne Srebrne, u jednoj od najvećih i najstarijih redovničkih zajednica na svijetu, preko sedam stoljeća prisutni na tlu Bosne i Hercegovine. Slijedeći devizu “Ne samo sebi živjeti, nego i drugima koristiti”, bosanski franjevci su oduvijek bili otvoreni prema sredini u kojoj su služili, nastojeći kroz različite aspekte svoga rada na najbolji način širiti dobro i mir u svojoj zajednici.

Bosnian up-right tomb-stones are sepulchral gravestones renowned from the middle of the 12th to the end of the 15th century. The culmination form of trunk and roof-ridge was prominant in the times of the civil governor Stjepan Kontromanić (1322-1353), and especially in the times of Tvrtko I Kotromanić (1353-1391). Developmental growth ended in the form of the cross. “Lašva’s cross” is particular to the homonymous valley, and in fact it is a tombstone with a stressed head and undeveloped sides.

Application of DEA Methods for Evaluating Efficiency in Museums, Galleries, and Monuments in the Czech Republic

Author(s): Michal Plaček,Milan Půček,František Ochrana,Milan Křápek / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The article analyzes the efficiency of a specific section of Czech culture; specifically, in the areas of museums, galleries, and monuments. Based on a literature review we can state that apart from one project on performance indicators designed for benchmarking, evaluations of efficiency and effectiveness in this area have not been fully exploited. Our pilot study focuses on the use of the method of data envelopment analysis for evaluating the efficiency of museums, galleries, and monuments in the Czech Republic. This analysis is applied to entities established by the central government. We draw the necessary data from the annual reports of individual entities for the years 2011-2013. The evaluation criterion is the result of an objective function, where if the value is equal to one, we consider the institution to be efficient, but if the value is 0, the institutions are deemed inefficient. An analysis showed relatively large differences in the efficiency among the individual institutions. There is therefore room for increased efficiency which can be achieved by implementing appropriately structured performance indicators.

Atmospherics Measurement: The Ways to Make Public Goods Available

Author(s): Ekaterina Shishova,Ksenia Kuzmina / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of atmospherics to the public sector research. Since museums as cultural institutions preserve the cultural heritage and take care of socially and culturally significant public goods, they should also guarantee the accessibility to cultural objects for different social groups and provide them sufficient information about preserved cultural objects. Although museums nowadays find themselves in the situation of governmental funding reduction, their main objectives along with preservation of cultural objects, security issues, and accessibility should be focused on development of such museum services as structured itineraries, saturated with information maps, improvement of public service areas in park and museum complexes.

The Absent Presence of Abandoned Industrial Spaces in Belgrade: A Semiotic Study through Photographic Imagery

Author(s): Evinç Doğan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Photographic imagery serves as a tool to tackle the temporality and materiality of ruins that could be read through the layers of symbolic meaning in the urban landscape. The photographic representation of the material realm may suggest a sense of memory for the possible pasts, whilst provoking imaginary possible futures. A photograph as a trace, on the other hand, suggests a fragment of memory addressing both presence and absence.

Ustanove nacionalnog pamćenja u Bosni i Hercegovini, historijska ishodišta njihove konvergencije i paralelizmi u njihovoj praksi danas

Author(s): Lejla Kodrić Zaimović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Bosnian-Herzegovinian heritage institutions share unique historical origin as, after all, is the case of many other heritage institutions, starting with their initial establishment in the ancient history. Today’s Bosnian-Herzegovinian heritage institutions’ convergence is resulting from their common historical origin, but it is also shaped by their later development trends regarding professional, legal and academic framework, all that followed by obvious influences of information and communication technologies of today. The paper follows parallelisms between important Bosnian-Herzegovinian national memory institutions – archives, libraries and museums – from their inception, establishment of professional, legal and academic framework to the complex social roles realizing today. Besides, their convergence is recognized as the most fruitful framework of their social activities, both in the past and today.

Author(s): Katarzyna Potyrala,Karolina Czerwiec,Renata Staśko / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The museum activity is more and more often aimed at integration with local communities, organization of scientific debates and intercultural dialogue, expansion of social network and framework for communication and mediation of scientific issues. Museums generate learning potential and create a social culture. The aim of the research was to diagnose the viability of natural history museums as the spaces of open training and increasing social participation in education for balanced development. Furthermore, it examined the possibility to create a strong interaction between schools at all levels and institutions of informal education, exchange of experience in the field of educational projects and the development of cooperation principles to strengthen the university-school-natural history museum relations. In the research conducted in the years 2016-2017 participated 110 students of teaching specialization in various fields of studies. The results of the research are connected with students’ attitudes towards new role of museums as institutions popularizing knowledge and sharing knowledge. The outcomes enable the diagnosis in terms of preparing young people to pursue participatory activities for the local community and may be the starting point for the development of proposals of educational solutions increasing students’ awareness in the field of natural history museums’ educational potential.

Kulturní dědictví – přínos nebo bariéra rozvoje turismu v destinacích?

Author(s): Šárka Tittelbachová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Tourism is recognized as a useful alternative to traditional industries that are in decline. Heritage tourism (these days often called cultural heritage tourism) is a fast growing industry. The National Trust for Historic Preservation (USA), citing a study of the American Association of Tourism Industry from 2003 states that US participants in cultural heritage tourism remain longer in tourist destinations and spend more money than other segments of visitors. They have more respect for the places they visit and are less likely to have a negative impact on the cultural and historical resources. Cultural heritage tourism is a powerful tool for bringing together preservation of cultural values and economic development. Cultural heritage tourism contributes to economy development by generating income, creating new jobs and business opportunities for small businesses. Responsible cultural heritage tourism stimulates the revitalization of cultural heritage and helps to create resources for competitive development. Development strategies of cultural heritage tourism are in recent years used by local government as economic development strategies of the cities, towns and tourist destinations for tourism development and to increase the efficiency of utilization of local resources. But local government often sees cultural heritage more as a burden on public budgets than an opportunity to develop. Likewise, cultural heritage tourism is rather understood in terms of negative effects on the socio-economic environment. The article discusses theoretical approaches and their possible application to selected tourist destinations in the Czech Republic.

Amatérski zberatelia ľudového umenia a starožitností. Osobná aktivita jednotlivcov a jej význam v začiatkoch muzeálnej činnosti

Author(s): Martina Bocánová / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

The study deals with the development of museology by not only pointing to the socio-political situation of the time, but also by emphasizing the important personalities of the region. In Trnava, the collection activity was developed in two directions – the organized form and enthusiasts, for whom the collection of historical artefacts was a personal challenge. The Franz R Osvald Museum Company was founded in Trnava and its ambition was to associate people interested in history. Its main objectives were the management, preservation and presentation of historical, ethnographic and archaeological collections, which were handed over by the Saint Adalbert Association. Besides the organized way of work and enrichment of museum funds, we also know amateur collectors and artists interested in historical artefacts. The outstanding personality of the region was Štefan Cyril Parrák, who devoted his life to collecting folk art. Thanks to his enthusiasm, he gathered large quantities of historical objects of considerable historical, archaeological and cultural value. His huge personal collection has become one of the basic building blocks of the Western Slovakia museum in Trnava and has helped this museum to move from the position of a regional museum to that of a national museum, among other important institutions of this type in Slovakia. Despite the disintegration of his family and many existential problems, Štefan Cyril Parrák concentrated on the collection and preservation of historical objects during the Second World War. His activity was paralyzed due to the political events in 1948, when his house was nationalized. In 1954, this magnificent collection was moved to the Western Slovakia museum in Trnava and became the property of the state. The study presents not only the beginnings of the conception of an important collection fund in Trnava but also the life story of a man in the background of the socio-political events of the time.
