Музикален фолклор от Казанлъшко в публикувани източници и ръкописи

Author(s): Diana Danova-Damyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

After the study of fieldwork research data (texts and phonograms) from more than 50 settlements in Kazanlak Valley gathered from the late 19th century to the 1980s and preserved at the Musical Phono-archive of the Institute of Art Studies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences the author was further provoked to find additional examples from the region in other sources.Without pretending to fully exhaust the theme, the text reviews the different collections (published and unpublished) which contain folk music from Kazanlak region – both collections dedicated to various settlements in Kazanlak Valley and collections from the wider geographic and music dialect region of Thrace containing among others examples from Kazanlak region. The reviewing of these examples in scholarly work (monographs, studies and articles), in published compendia dedicated to musical folklore, in the publications of the local historians, as well as of some archival sources, is the first attempt for a systematic representation of the collection of the folklore treasure of the region in the course of time, as well as of its presentation in different publications.

Изграждане на творческата личност, като цел на възпитанието, и форми на принуда при нормативното възпитателно-образователно общуване

Author(s): Jordan Banev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2018

The present text proceeds from the concept of creative personality, which is defined by the creative talent intrinsic to every child. It is not related to a particular (artistic) activity, but to the primal capacity of every person to re-create themselves. From a pedagogical standpoint, such an assumption accepts that the upbringing of a person as a goal of instruction is conditioned by the nurturing of the creative gifts of the child. In school, group work requiers a group-appropriate approach, as well as the appropriation of regulative mechanisms by the system. The article describes some of them as functioning forms of compulsion, which disable the child to unfold its creative potential and contradict basic assumptions about education, which have remained unchanged from Antiquity to this day.

Фестивалите за „тежка“ музика между почитателите и местната общност: случаят „Каварна“

Author(s): Iliyana Choevska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2018

The article looks into the festivals for “heavy” music in Bulgaria. The primary hypothesis, proven by the study, is that such events assist in the development of the settlements in which they are hosted, and benefit their residents in many fields,in particular tourism and local economy. The article focuses on the main “actors“ –the fans and the local community, based on a particular case. The festival “Kavarna rock“ is chosen as an example of a most successful event of this genre in our country, with 11 years of history. The study of the opinions of the fans and the residents, the organization and the evolution of the festival over the years of its life time, the issues that have had to be resolved, add up to a comprehensive picture of such events in our country. Even though the event is no longer being organized, the results achieved are an example of development of an alternative form of tourism in our country, which is still underdeveloped.

За някои медийни метаморфози (как „чалгари“ стават „лидери на граждански каузи“)

Author(s): Ventsislav Dimov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2019

The proposed article shares observations on with the construction of the image of the star in ethno-pop music and the role of the media and media music, with two cases - Slavi Trifonov and Azis. At first glance, they seem very different, but they are actually quite similar - as with the mechanisms of media imposition of the image of the star and the use of the media in the construction of public resources and attachment to civilian causes. The article attempts to interpret current cultural phenomena through their media projections, using Joseph Nye's theoretical statements on soft power; Tyler Cowen's for the Economics of Glory.

Митове и стереотипи в съвременния дизайн

Author(s): Dimitar Dobrevski / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 17/2019

There can be no doubt: we live our entire life, surrounded and organized by design. The way we live, take a bath, drive, feed, and pack our belongings, even how we look at the world through our glasses: all of this has already been designed, shaped, and designed for us. The design of products, regardless of the different circumstances, has been accepted to attribute certain qualities: functionality (usually in technical-exploitation sense), ergonomics, constructiveness, economy, and aesthetic expression. Some other properties and qualities are often unnoticed or more precisely underestimated. They stem from the organic connection of design with a number of other spheres: Social, economic, political, and religious.

„Пирин пее 2018“ – между изворния фолклор, художествената самодейност и професионалното изкуство

Author(s): Petyo Krastev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

Pirin Pee Festival is an event which demonstrates in a specific way the concepts for safeguarding and popularization of tradition. In its core is the scenic representation of examples of traditional local culture. All this provokes mutual interaction between different points of view to ancient singing and music making – authentic folklore, the motors of the event who are the performers and the organizers (they are mainly connected to amateur art practiced in the different chitalishta) and, on the other hand, those who stay behind the artistic interpretation of the local culture within the frame of professional art. In this context the festival is a place for active keeping to the tradition and its influence in the present as well as in the future. All that contributes to the specific, colorful contemporary picture displayed on the festival that is further observed or enriched by specialists, performers and connoisseurs.

История на българските фолклорни танци от европейска гледна точка

Author(s): György Németh / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The European dance culture is homogeneous. Many of the European dances are not only related to each other but are also variations of each other. Their area of distribution (the ancient Roman Empire) indicates that a common dance ancestor had already existed in antiquity. This ancient dance is the so called Faroe step. The ideology of humanism resulted in a worldview in which the human being and his free will become the measures of everything. Human needs and interests are put in the centre of the new worldview. The worth of the individual increases and he is gradually released from his shackles, life turns into a priority, a demand for individual gratification appeared: amusement, entertainment, dance. From the local variants of the Faroe step used in the ancient rituals has developed in a fanlike manner the European dances (including the Bulgarian ones) with their incredibly rich tempos and rhythm were developed. They were all inspired by the dominant instrumental musical accompaniment.
