INVESTIGATING SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND PERCEPTUAL VARIABLES OF EARLY-STAGE ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY IN SELECTED EU COUNTRIES

Author(s): Ivano Dileo,Francesco Losurdo / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

This paper investigates socio-economic and perceptual factors affecting the likelihood of being a total early-stage entrepreneur in selected EU countries (Denmark, Germany, Finland, Sweden and Latvia) during 2005–2012. The data used for our empirical research comes from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Our findings show that the probability to become a total early-stage entrepreneur increases for males and younger individuals with a bachelor’s degree or secondary education and who are working part time or full time. Furthermore, these entrepreneurs are characterised by a lower fear of failure and higher entrepreneurial skills and perception of opportunity. Policy makers should improve the institutional framework that involves measures aimed at empowering potential entrepreneurs in finding new market opportunities. Territorial cooperation in a macro-regional perspective may be a facilitator aimed at entrepreneurial development.

Театърът, слуга на красотата

Author(s): Petia Alexandrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2012

One of the directions toward the interpretation of the problem is the complete acceptance, and to a certain extent fawning to the boulevard perception of youth and beauty. The newly affirmed norms for talent are in direct relation to the presence and polularity of these in TV and reality shows. This provokes the opposite reaction of total intolerance to glamor as mark of beauty. The tendency, analyzing the devastating consequences of a value system, where ugliness is a sin, is seen in several foreign spectacles, presented at the International Theater Festival "Varna Summer" 2012: "LÁpres midi" Raimund Hoghe; "Miss Julie", based on the original of August Strindberg, Intima Teater, Stockholm; "Dorian Grey", Burgtheater, Vienna; "The ugly one", Academic Drama Theater "I. A. Slonov" - Saratov, Russia; "Frenkenstein", Danny Boyle, Royal National Theater, UK.

Problem socjologii literatury

Author(s): Paweł Ćwikła,Arkadiusz Jabłoński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2017

Do we have to convince that the sociology of literature exists? Sociologists who deal with literature professionally, often feel, say, obliged to explain themselves from the choice they make, as if the sociological study of literature was a kind of reason to accuse them of betrayal of their own discipline. They are struggling here not only with the lack of unambiguous methodology of the sociology of literature, but even with an indisputable definition of the area of its interest. In this article, conceived as a preliminary text to this volume, we are trying to consider briefly the causes of the uncertain status of the sociology of literature, and its history and future prospects.

RODNI, KLASNI, NACIONALNI I JEZIČKI ASPEKTI OBRAZOVANJA ŽENA U BOKI KOTORSKOJ: 18–20. VIJEK

Author(s): Ervina Dabižinović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 66/2018

The aim of this work is to present the historical development of female education in Boka Kotorska with respect to the religious, class, national, language and gender conditions under which education changed and spread from the privilege of men to the need for education of both genders over the last two centuries. We focus on the elements of centuries-long systematic discrimination in the education of young women regarding the opportunities for education, which is one of the elements of their invisibility in public over the past and present periods. The development of female education has been inspected in two phases:Phase I: before the period of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (when women were educated in convents, or by private teachers at home for those who could afford it);Phase II: during the Austro-Hungarian reign when public schools were opened for men and women – ladies` classrooms in Perast, Private Elementary School in Herceg Novi, First Women’s Trade School in Kotor (vocational school), and Private Women’s Civil School.The results show that an array of obstacles was in the way of the full recognition of equality in elementary and secondary education of both genders.It may be concluded that over the last two centuries the process of developing the education of female children in Boka Kotorska was rather slow when compared to the same process in other regions of Yugoslavia at the time.

Author(s): Zuzana Schaleková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2018

Keď sa povie „manažér“, mnohí si predstavia iba to, že takýto človek riadi ľudí. Ale za pojmom sa skrýva celá plejáda zručností. Ak ich mladí ľudia ovládajú, môžu im priniesť hneď niekoľko benefitov a uľahčiť napríklad hľadanie práce. Čo mladí získajú, ak ich v školách „priučíme“ manažérskym zručnostiam?

GEÇMİŞTEN GÜNÜMÜZE RESİM SANATI VE REKLAM İLİŞKİSİ

Author(s): Meliha Yılmaz,Ali Ertuğrul Küpeli / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 17/2017

With the rapidly evolving technology of the 20th century, advertising has become more functional and more accessible to every field. The relationship between advertising and art continues to increase. After the examination of modern art with technology, the artwork needed to introduce and accept itself in domestic and foreign markets. Societies unaware of each other have laid the foundations for a universal understanding of art, through the emergence of international boundaries and communication through technological possibilities. With this understanding, the artwork has become more meta and lost its glory in aesthetic context, but it has gained the ability to reach wide masses in a competitive environment thanks to advertising. While advertising is the medium of communication in which the primacy created the capitalist order in its own internal dynamics, it later increased its power of influence and visibility by making use of the awareness of art. While the distinctive features of advertising and art are more evident and visible in modern art, these distinctive features, which are evident in modern art, have gradually begun to resemble each other and become obscure. In this study, literature and archive scanning were used as descriptive analysis methods to determine and interpret the relationship between the daily advertising and painting art from the past. In addition, this research has been compiled with an integrated method, including examples of the relationship between contemporary art and advertisements that benefit from different disciplines. It seems that there is a close association of art and commercial in the examination made. In today's art trends, from the birth to the consumption of the art work, it can be said that the advertisement has an important place. Even today, it is much harder to determine what is art and what is advertised.

Barenboim-Said-Akademie – eksperymentalna uczelnia muzyczna w Berlinie

Author(s): Maria Wagińska-Marzec / Language(s): English,Polish Issue: 02/2018

The aim of the article is to present an original initiative (whose originator and animator is the Argentine-Israeli pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim) to create in Berlin a college with a musical humanistic profile as an institutional platform for dialog and understanding among young people coming from war ridden countries of the Middle East (Syria, Israel, Palestinian Authority, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon). The academy is expected to educate around 90-100 young musicians from Middle Eastcountries. The establishment of an experimental cultural-educational institution, the Barenboim-Said-Akademie (8 December 2016) deserves attention for a variety of reasons: political, cultural, educational,social. It is an interesting phenomenon because of the many functions to be performed by the Academy itself (its fundamental task being education and learning: tutoring in music and humanistic subjects),its students (perfecting their professional skills and learning the history and culture of another nation through music), and last but least the institution as a music center (offering Berlin and its citizens an original concert hall). The study attempts to communicate the message and main assumptions of the initiative with an emphasis on the support it has received in Germany from different institutions ranging from the Bundestag, through the federal government (especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Office o fthe government of the FRG for culture and the media) to other bodies cooperating in the creation of the Academy. Thanks to the determination and unfailing endeavors of one individual it was possible to create a music college dedicated to performing, on a neutral ground, educational, integrative and political functions for people from other cultural environments. Germany is a country with an openness to other cultures and a favorable socio-political climate for the development of artistic personalities and initiatives towards integration and peace. The indirect observation method was used in the study; it was based on information and materials collected by the analyzed institution as well as on interviews and utterances of competent politicians.

Instituting the Common in Practices of Artistic Circulation: From Entrepreneurship of the Self to Entrepreneurship of the Multitude

Author(s): Kuba Szreder / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2018

In this paper I trace the contradictions embedded in global artistic circulation, which is dialectically analysed as a nexus of exploitation and a site where the commons can be instituted. To enable this argument, I synthesise the methodologies of dialectical materialism, the sociology of art and action research, supplementing a theoretical overview of systemic pressures with a keen observation of the social practices that emerge in critical response to it. Basing my analysis on empirical evidence, I examine social conflicts, triggered by the extracting value from the distributed labour of artistic networks, as political opportunities to be seized by progressive art workers. Thus, I propose a new perspective on current processes of incorporating contemporary art into the late-capitalist cycles of accumulation and modes of establishing and reproducing social distinctions. Instead of mourning for – presumably lost but still positively valorised – artistic autonomy, I argue for a revamping of the apparatuses regulating artistic circulation for the sake of the labouring multitudes.

Dzika strona Ulicy. Lou Reed i Walk on the Wild Side

Author(s): Mariusz Czubaj / Language(s): Polish Issue: 03/2017

The article discusses Lou Reed's "Walk On the Wild Side" - one of the most important songs in rock music history. Out of ethnographic insight on New York Lou Reed creates a story of the '60s, where - in opposition to a hippie utopia - the rational "money philosophy" dominates. Lou Reed also invites new actors of the big city life to the story, playing with pop culture consumer's taste and breaking its taboo.

CROWDSOURCING – KONSEKWENCJE DLA RYNKU PRACY ARTYSTÓW

Author(s): Katarzyna Dorota Kopeć / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2018

Internet essentially stimulates the way the labour market has been transforming. It makes it possible to mobilize the crowds of web users to work or collaborate on a project differently than conventional organisations used to do. The paper looks at crowdsourcing as a mechanism that gives widespread flexibility of labour conditions and of the types of workers. In particular it discusses the key changes within the artists’ labour market at the time of the growing fame of the Internet including the crowdsourcing cases.

Постколониалният дискурс и глобализацията на изкуството през 90-те години на ХХ век: източноевропейските художествени сцени

Author(s): Dessislava Dimova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2017

From the 1990s onward, the issues of postcolonial discourse have served to formulate the problems of otherness which globalization has brought to the fore. Thus, the entry into the global art world turns out to be the post-socialist art scene entry into the postcolonial discourse of otherness. In the article hereby the author is trying to demonstrate the way in which two principally different discourses – the post-socialist one and the postcolonial one occur on the territory of the local-global. Although the otherness of post-socialist, East European cultures is closely related to that of the postcolonial, these artistic scenes resist the requirement of locality and diversity, opposing the idea of universality as a form of criticism.

I dzieło jako zdarzenie – performans rekonstruowany w wyobraźni

Author(s): Marek Śnieciński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (26)/2018

An exceptionally interesting case of performance in contemporary art are artworks, in which artists do not present a performance itself but rather its effects. For these artists a performance is somehow included in the tissue of the artwork; it was indispensable for the artwork to be created, yet it is hidden so the viewer needs to make an effort to reconstruct this performative character of the artwork and understand (become aware of) the resulting consequences. The text analyses works by Akira Komoto (the Seeing series), the realization by Lech Twardowski (Generator Bez Maszyn), three series of works by Urszula Wilk (Niewysłane listy) as well as selected sculptures by Shen Shaomin (the Bonsai series). Although in these works we deal with various forms of performativeness, their joint feature is the fact that in each of them the viewer must discover and reconstruct the hidden performance in his/her memory.

Niebezsporne związki: niektóre rel acje sztuki konceptualnej i performansu (część pierwsza)

Author(s): Andrzej Kostołowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (26)/2018

The text concerns two major concepts in the art of the last half of this century: conceptual art and performance. Conceptual art, which crystallized in the 1960s, has become one of the fundamentally seminal movements in contemporary art. Performance – a phenomenon with long history, since 1970s has been treated as an independent art genre. These two phenomena happen to be merged in various context; both feature an approach directed against the commoditization of art. However, in other areas and contexts crucial differences between these concepts can be perceived. Conceptual artists have adopted an analytical-index relation to objects in their approach. During performances objects often play a major (also emotional) role, being left behind as documentation. Conceptual art, distancing itself from the so called “retinal art”, i.e. the one that pleases the eye, has adopted utilization of texts or other linguistic materials as an important method of expression. For performance artists (except for performance lecturers), texts and descriptions are located on the outskirts, i.e. as plans preceding actions and descriptions following them. The discussed disciplines of art differ in their approach to media, as well: conceptual art treats them purely functionally, in performances they are of bigger importance, for example combined with multimedia. The conclusion attracts attention to the complicated relations between the two concepts: conceptualism and performance art, taking into account related activities in the 1970s and the difference in approach in the successive years.

Retoryk a prawdy uwidocznionej: sztuk a performansu

Author(s): Ewa Bobrowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (26)/2018

This paper is focused on the phenomenon of the art of performance and happening, in particular by Allan Kaprow, as well as the forms of self-torture in the art of Chris Burden and Günter Brus. In their expression, performance is sincerity, the moment of truth, bringing out to light what, by the immersion in the stream of life, could remain undiscovered and veiled. The rhetoric of truth in this art is presented, inter alia, in the context of Heidegger’s statements on the essence of art and the function of the process. Performance is a peculiar, modern form of aestheticism, challenging time and the temporary dimension of existence, the limitations of one’s body and the psyche. In this way, the madness of this art comes close to the experience, which Kant describes as the sublime. The form of self-torture in this art discloses the need to escape from the suffering inflicted by being and the Self’s escape from itself in the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas.
