Muzyka w filmie "Ewangelia wg św. Mateusza" Piera Paola Pasoliniego

Author(s): Julia Okołowicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 03 (26)/2015

The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964) was the third film made by an Italian intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini. After many scandals and court trials which concerned seditious character of his earlier shortmovie La ricotta (making part of Ro.Go.Pa.G., 1963), he decided to dedicate his new film to the history of Christ, choosing the text of The Gospel According to St. Matthew, naming it the one which in the best way represents the human nature of Christ and his „being a man among men”. The film he made is an interesting work of art because of many reasons: it was filmed in the area of the South of Italy, it’s maintained in the neorealism aesthetics, and thanks to the actors who starred in the film (one of the Apostles was played by Giorgio Agamben, an Italian philosopher, Jesus was played by a Spanish student, a strong follower of communism and Mary was played by Pasolini’s own mother – Susanna). Nevertheless, The Gospel According to St. Matthew, among other Pasolini’s film, has the most complex and refined soundtrack list, because this time, the music is the element which plays the major role in the film, being the factor of the stylistic contamination he applied in his works. The story of Christ is portrayed by unusual music choices such as Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child by Odetta Williams, Gloria from the Kongo mass Missa Luba, Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky and others. Thus, it is important to have a closer look at the film’s music, and by decoding the intertextual figures such as quotations and allusions, try to understand its narrative symbolism and hidden, autobiographical motives created by Pasolini.

"La buona figliuola" Carla Goldoniego a "Czekina albo cnotliwa panienka" Wojciecha Bogusławskiego

Author(s): Edyta Grzywaczewska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 02 (25)/2015

„La buona figliuola” („The Accomplish’d Maid”) is an opera buffa in three acts by Niccolò Piccinni and Carlo Goldoni. The librettist based his text on Samuel Richardson’s novel „Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded”. It was performed for the first time at the Teatro delle Dame, Rome on 6th February 1760 with an all male cast. It was a big success and „La buona figliuola” took Europe by storm. Every European opera house had this opera in its repertoire. The performances were in: Barcelona, Prague, Vien, Dresden, London, Berlin, Mannheim and Paris. This opera was probably performed even in Beijing by Jesuits in 1778. „La buona figliuola” was so popular in Europe that Stanisław August Poniatowski, the King of Poland, wished it for his coronation ceremony. The performance took place at the National Theatre on 7th August 1765, just five years after the world premiere. This opera was also very popular in Warsaw. People loved the story of a simple and good maid Cecchina. Seventeen years later, Wojciech Bogusławski, the director of the National Theater, translated and adapted Goldoni’s opera and named it „Czekina albo cnotliwa panienka” („Czekina or a Virtuous Maid”). He performed it in 1782 with big success. First of all, the article describes the historical context of the creation of libretto – the Carlo Goldoni’s biography. Next, it presents the story of maid Cecchina and the phenomenon of the description of the Polish theories of translation from the 18th century, the Polish version of the opera – „Czekina or a Virtuous Maid”, is presented. Finally, two versions of the libretto – the Goldoni’s and the Bogusławski’s, are compared.

Феномен и схема. Подстъпи към една възможна критическа феноменология

Author(s): Kristiyan Enchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

This article elucidates why the Kant’s transcendental scheme in its orthodox type is not a functionally reliable bridge in the transition from pure cognitive forms to real experiental “crystallizations”, and how this can be compensated by its transformation into a phenomenal structure including as its own elements regionally relevant kinaesthetic organization and “encoded ideas”. Ideas undergo deformalization – from “purely regulatory” schemes of reason, they go to constitutive structures that comprise regional figurative adhesions and as such receive regional “encoding” – contentful concretization. This type of rethinking of the transcendental scheme also leads to a significant change in the way in which local phenomena should be understood (such as, for example, socialization and education) so as to guarantee their rethinking in the transition from the empirical (but hermeneutically grasped manifold) to the phenomenal integrity in the encoded ideas as a regionally relevant, concrete “figurative kinship”.

Пепел и сърце – шифрите „следва”

Author(s): Lidia Denkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 40/2020

The question “What next?” is a key one to all philosophical theories that consider causality, continuum, discontinuity, potentiality, and, more generally, probability. The notion of "cause" (aitia) and the rigid causality are based on what was said in the Fifth Book of Aristotle's Metaphysics, but ancient atomists, especially Plato, introduced the possibility of free "bifurcation of consequences", of symmetry and asymmetry of "next", which commence from an absolute new beginning. The principle of an absolute new beginning follows the interpretation of the myth of the deluge in De sapientia Veterum (1609) by Francis Bacon. The "logical pluralism" of numerous cause and effect relationships as well as the continuity principle (as formulated by Leibniz) are encompassed in two ciphers in accordance with the classical definition of cipher by Karl Jaspers. The cipher “sameness” and the cipher “change” suggest that we ask ourselves once again about Aristotle's "probable impossibility", and the starting point is the little-known myth of Dionysus, torn to pieces and restored to a new body thanks to his heart, as well as the creation of humanity from the ashes of the stricken Titans.

Gertrude Bonnin on Sexual Morality

Author(s): Tadeusz Lewandowski / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This paper examines attitudes to sexual morality held by the Yankton Dakota author and activist Gertrude Bonnin (1876–1938), better known by her penname Zitkála-Šá (Red Bird in Lakota). Bonnin’s concerns encompass several themes: the victimization of Indian women, disintegration of Native courtship rituals, sexual threats posed by peyote use, and the predatory nature of Euro-American men. This critique as a whole — in which a ‘white invasion,’ in her words, leads to a corruption of Native sexuality — sometimes produces inconsistencies, particularly regarding Bonnin’s statements on the alleged sexual perils of peyote. Her investigations into the Oklahoma guardianship scandals of the 1920s, however, strongly buttress recent research by Sarah Deer (2015), whose study, The Beginning and End of Rape: Confronting Sexual Violence in Native America, highlights the tragic aspects of Native-white sexual relations under United States settler-colonialism.

INTEGRATION OF FUTURE ECONOMISTS IN THE LABOR MARKET THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE PROFESSION OF ECONOMIST

Author(s): Alina Somitca,Sorin Somitca / Language(s): English Issue: 15/2021

The professions in the economic field, especially accounting, belong to an area where most of the activities are suitable for digitalization, and more and more companies are interested to move towards efficiency in this segment in order to benefit by reducing the costs for obtaining the highest possible performance. The special current context, namely the health crisis caused by the Covid pandemic transformed immediately afterwards into a global economic crisis, has attracted countless restrictions on population movement while social distancing has led the business and political environment to put a special emphasis on digitalization. In is well known and no longer stranger for anyone that repetitive actions in a company should be replaced by automated processes, so as to reduce the inevitable human errors, but also to make the activity as efficient as possible. The use of technology and digitalization does not mean that the professions of economists, accounting experts, will disappear and be replaced by technology. On the contrary, their role will be transformed into the voice of experts who makes checks and gives advice to entrepreneurs, an expert who will be relieved by technology of repetitive tasks.Digitization will lead to major changes so that the activities carried out by professionals in the economic field will be interdependent with the use of sophisticated computer systems and artificial intelligence to analyze, report and develop the desired results. The need for digital skills for students with economic profile is essential for their integration into the labor market.

Politika oprosta i svjedočenja nakon genocidnog rata: tri kratka filma iz Bosne i Hercegovine

Author(s): Keith Doubt / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Spanish Issue: 2/2022

Ova tri filma, iako svjedoče, oslikavaju patos politike oprosta. Oni opisuju svrhu svjedočenja kao povezivanje politike i oprosta, neodgovarajućeg para. Veličanstvenost njihove umjetnosti je u tome što nijedna strana ovih dihotomija nije ugrožena. Političko djelovanje svjedočenja ne briše moralnu potrebu za pomirenjem. Svaka strana dihotomije ojačana je u odnosu na svoju suprotnu stranu, s obzirom na dijalektiku takta u odnosu na takt. Ovi filmovi su dragocjeni i neprocjenjivi, moralni i visokoumni, jer podstiču svoje društvo i svijet na bolje shvatanje blagostanja.

PISMO DRŽAVNOM SEKRETARU BLINKENU, II

Author(s): David Pettigrew / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 3/2022

Obraćamo Vam se kako bismo izrazili svoju zabrinutost zbog nedavnih izjava Gabriela Escobara, specijalnog izaslanika SAD-a za Zapadni Balkan, vezano za izbornu i ustavnu reformu u Bosni i Hercegovini. Svojim komentarima g. Escobar je u suštini osudio bosanskohercegovačke građane na budućnost etničkih podjela, diskriminacije, progona i nepoštivanja ljudskih prava.

Tužiteljka za ljudska prava: izborni plan SAD-EU-a za Bosnu nagrađuje nacionalističke planove

Author(s): Azra Zornić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 4/2022

Bajdenova administracija i zvaničnici Evropske unije u Bosni pokušavaju političkim sredstvom “popraviti” izbornu i političku disfunkciju zemlje. Ali rezultat ne samo da bi nepovratno oštetio moju zemlju i dodatno poremetio stabilnost na zapadnom Balkanu, nego bi proizveo i suprotno od jedne od navodno motivirajućih namjera. Znam — tužila sam ovaj nefunkcionalni sistem na Evropskom sudu za ljudska prava (ECtHR) i pobijedila. Ali Sjedinjene Države i EU, igrajući podmuklo da bi “postigli rezultate” kontraproduktivnim amandmanom na Ustav i izborni zakon Bosne i Hercegovine (BiH) prije izbora koji će se održati nakon godinu dana, nagrađuju nacionalističke planove koji su srušili i podijelili moju zemlju i bivšu Jugoslaviju u ratu 1990-ih.

Human Rights Plaintiff: US-EU Election Plan for Bosnia Rewards Nationalist Agendas

Author(s): Azra Zornić / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The Biden administration and European Union officials are barreling ahead in Bosnia with a politically expedient “fix” for the country’s electoral and political dysfunction. But the result would not only irrevocably damage my country and further undermine stability in the Western Balkans, it also would produce the opposite of one of the apparently motivating intentions. I know — I sued over this dysfunctional system in the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and won. But the United States and the EU, by taking the low road to “get results” with a counterproductive amendment to the Constitution and election law of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) before elections a year from now, are rewarding the nationalist agendas that shattered and divided my country and the former Yugoslavia in the wars of the 1990s.

Otvoreno Pismo Državnom Sekretaru Blinkenu

Author(s): Bojan Šošić,Azra Zornić,Aida Ibričević,David Pettigrew / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 4/2022

Zbog pomanjkanja internacionalne intervencije, naročito nakon 2006. godine, dejtonske strukture su prešle na etnonacionalističku retoriku podjela i prijetnje secesijom koje destabiliziraju Bosnu i regiju. Član Predsjedništva BiH iz reda srpskog naroda, Milorad Dodik, prijeti secesijom i dosljedno govori o Bosni kao propaloj državi. Bez ikakvih posljedica se služi govorom mržnje prema Bošnjacima i negira genocid u Srebrenici. Lider stranke bosanskih Hrvata Dragan Čović je sa svoje strane prijetio da će bojkotovati izbore i formirati treći entitet. Oba ova separatistička lidera su eksploatisala koncept „konstituentnih naroda“ kako bi kreirali dalje podjele i mržnju. Ove separatističke agende su najizraženiju podršku našle od Ruske Federacije, čija Ambasada u Sarajevu je u aprilu 2021. godine insistirala da se Bosna u načelu sastoji od dva entiteta i da nije jedinstvena država.

Open Letter to Secretary of State Blinken

Author(s): Bojan Šošić,Aida Ibričević,Azra Zornić,David Pettigrew / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

Due to the lack of international intervention, especially since 2006, Dayton’s structures have devolved into divisive ethnonationalist rhetoric and threats of secession that are destabilizing Bosnia and the region. Bosnian Serb member of the Presidency Milorad Dodik has threatened secession and consistently speaks of Bosnia as a failed State. He wields hate speech against Bosniaks and denies the Srebrenica genocide with impunity. Bosnian Croat party leader Dragan Čović, for his part, has threatened to boycott the election and form a third entity. Both separatist leaders have exploited the concept of “constituent peoples” so as to create further divisions and hatred. These separatist agendas have found their strongest support from the Russian Federation, whose Embassy in Sarajevo insisted in April 2021 that Bosnia fundamentally consists of two entities rather than a unified State.
