Haiti: repere istorice, sociale și politice

Author(s): Ștefan-Iaroslav Daniel / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

In most bibliographical references, both Anglophone and Francophone, the “birth of Hispaniola” dates back to its discovery by Cristopher Columbus. The pre-Columbian stage is much less discussed and the documentary material dedicated to it is significantly less substantial. In an attempt organize the disparate and sometimes contradictory information provided by some bibliographic sources, we have consulted several chronologies and various historiographical references that show the socio-political evolution of the whole island of Saint-Domingue. Aside from drawing a historical image of Haiti as close to reality as possible, I have considered that it would only be possible to sketch a substantiated picture of the socio-cultural, political and economic situation of this inscribed state (with a spectacular vocation for failure, on a downward spiral of generalized corruption, social chaos and overturned values and of an inexplicable rejection of any real chance for betterment) by exploring its past and identifying the mechanisms through which the “Haiti phenomenon” took place.

Bratislav Ivanov's new book is dedicated to the values and traditions of the Japanese culture. Already in the early twentieth century, French scientist Henry Dumolard draws attention to the fact that the Japanese people are guided by their logic and draw conclusions that are often incomprehensible to Europeans. To understand the Japanese people, we need to know the values that form the core of their culture. A key to their understanding is the geographical environment, mythology, religion, and Japan's history.

Media w światach dystopijnych

Author(s): Krzysztof Gajewski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Krzysztof Gajewski’s text aims at examining the role of communications media in dystopian fiction stories. First, some terminological conventions are invoked that determine how the notion of dystopia will be understood in this text. The research perspective is the theory of new media. Analyses are carried out on three sample literary works—all regarded as classic dystopian representations—"R.U.R." by Karel Čapek, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and "Nineteen Eight-Four" by George Orwell. Additional consideration is given to how media technologies are portrayed in fictional worlds including their functionality. Socio-historical context may also influence the methods in which media technology is presented. The closing statement of the article discerns between the progressive saturation of new communication media within the literary works, herein analyzed, and the parallel processes that lead to the development of real-world communication technology

Разплата. История на Отон. Пратеничество в Константинопол. Разплата. История на Отон. Пратеничество в Константинопол

Author(s): Liudprand Liudprand of Cremona / Language(s): Bulgarian

This modern translation of all the surviving literary compositions ascribed to Liudprand, the bishop of Cremona from 962 to 972, offers unrivaled insight into society and culture in western Europe during the "iron century". Since Liudprand enjoyed the favor of the Saxon Roman emperor Otto the Great, and traveled to Constantinople more than once on official business, his narratives also reveal European attitudes toward the Byzantine Empire and the culture of its refined capital city. No other tenth-century writer had such privileged access to the high spheres of power, or such acerbic wit and willingness to articulate critiques of the doings of powerful people. Liudprand's historical texts (the Antapodosis on European events in the first half of the 900s, and his Historia Ottonison the rise to power of Otto the Great) provide a unique view of the recent past against a genuinely European backdrop, unusual in a time of localized cultural horizons. Liudprand's famous satirical description of his misadventures as Ottonian legate at the Byzantine court in 968 is a vital source of information on Byzantine ritual and diplomatic process, as well as a classic of medieval intercultural encounter. Readers interested in medieval European culture, the history of diplomacy, Italian and German medieval history, and the history of Byzantium will find this collection of translated texts rewarding. A full introduction and extensive notes help readers to place Liudprand's writings in context.

Българите. Социологически погледи

Author(s): Petar-Emil Mitev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian

The book concerns the fundamental questions set by the founder of Bulgarian sociology Ivan Hadjiiski: Where are we coming from? What have we gone through? How far have we reached? Where are we going? Sociology is a science in which the person puts his imagination and heuristic potential. Sociology is a craft, in the practice of which the outcome depends on the mastery of the techniques and methodologies, the correct observance of rules and procedures. Sociology is a business that requires certain resources and also can reproduce or increase them. Sociology, however, is something else; it is not only a knowledge of society, but it is a public activity. It loses its meaning beyond the public realization or changes it if this realization does not correspond to the scientific credibility.

Elementy nacechowane kulturowo i ich opis w tłumaczonej audiodeskrypcji do dzieł plastycznych na przykładzie Muzeum Julio Romero de Torres

Author(s): Agnieszka Palion-Musioł / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The key issue of this article centers on the proposal of the translation of audio description of works of art as a method of creating a new script of the work of art. The inclusion of audio description in the scope of Translation Studies and, in particular, within intersemiotic translation in line with the triadic division of Jacobson, gives the possibility of using translating strategies to transfer culture-specific elements denominated here as cultureme. The aim being to explain to the recipients occurrences that are foreign to them. Our starting point in this analysis are the audio description extracts of work of art of cultural values which a featured in the virtual guide of the Museum of Julio Romero de Cordoba. The translated audio description fragments contain specific culturemes, which can evoke doubts or incomprehension in the Polish recipient of the translated script. Key words:.

Author(s): Anna Lewandowska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Art allows artists to express emotions, their outlook on the world. It depicts both the undiscovered and uncharted soul of each artist, and each ordinary viewer. For many Deaf artists it is a means by which they try to present the viewer their attitude toward the outside world. By art Deaf people show their distinct identity. The beginning of contemporary Deaf art is associated with the 1960s, yet it still remains unknown. Thus it is justified to study it and present its beauty to the hearing majority.

Osoby z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną posługujące się wspomagającymi i alternatywnymi sposobami porozumiewania się w muzeum

Author(s): Paulina Szeląg / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper discusses the issues related to the provision of cultural texts (art, literature) and the content of the museum exhibition to people with intellectual disabilities using augmentative and alternative communication, especially picture systems. At the present time, museums are places where people with disabilities can come into contact with art in an accessible way. These are institutions that try to abolish barriers in access to culture and have a strong imperative of inclusion of everyone. Such openness was brought about by a two-hundred-year history characterized by gradual widening of the public. A special place among spectators with intellectual disabilities, take those who use augmentative and alternative communication especially picture systems. PCS System (Picture Communication Symbols) is one of the most popular and understandable systems of this kind. PIC (Pictogram Ideogram Communication) is also popular. The paper discusses the goals, methods of work, resources, dictionaries used during classes using AAC at the museum. He also points out the importance of cooperation between the museum and the support person (teacher), describes the planning and conducting schedule of museum activities. Paper also presents the project „Pan Tadeusz” for people with intellectual disabilities, which is addressed to people with intellectual disabilities, using augmentative and alternative communication.

Muzeum chce Cię poznać – czego muzeum może nauczyć się od osób niepełnosprawnych

Author(s): Paulina Długosz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

EU directives or the need to build a wide audience are the main reasons why museums take action to make their exhibitions available to people with disabilities. However the experience of the Museum of City of Łódź related to the dissemination of fine arts, shows that cooperation with people with disabilities is not only a need to adapt to top-down requirements, but also creates a number of educational opportunities for employees and museum guests without disabilities. Projects presented in the paper – implemented by the Museum of the City of Łódź in 2013–2016 – are an example of efforts to adapt the museum’s space to the needs of people with visual and hearing impairments, as well as other types of disabilities. Their analysis – made both from the perspective of a museologist and an educator – presents the opportunities and difficulties associated with cooperation with disabled people and the potential of using the museum space in special pedagogy. Critical evaluation of the tasks carried out may be a commentary on the problem of hidden segregation and inadequate integration of disabled people and thus underline the advisability of applying the principles of universal design and inclusive education.
