Utwór „epoki intertekstualnej” – III Symfonia „Circus Maximus” Johna Corigliano

Author(s): Katarzyna Bartos / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01 (32)/2017

As many researchers claim, we live in the era of intertextual works. The analysis of the 3rd Symphony “Circus Maximus” by the American composer John Corigliano definitely proves this statement. The sym- phony, finished in 2004, had been commissioned by Jerry Junkin – the conductor of the Wind Ensemble and Director of Bands at UT Austin. It is said to be an example of program music. Corigliano’s main purpose was to show connections between the past (Rome Empire) and the contemporary world. The composer notices that animalisation and coerciveness are characteristics of people living in these two eras. The composition consists of eight movements and is written for wind ensemble and percussion. The aim of this article is to show intertext- ual connotations and references present in the composition, such as: allusions, stylization, reminiscences, and memory of genre. In order to achieve this aim, the author used the Mieczysław Tomaszewski’s systematics of music-in-music existence. Moreover, similarities to Gustav Mahler and Charles Ives’ compositions are shown.

NIKOLAI RUSCHUKLIEV’S SELF-PORTRAIT – SEMANTIC DYNAMICS

Author(s): Bogdan Aleksandrov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

Self-portraits dominate the work of the artist Nikolay Ruschukliev. The text analyses the stages which the genre preferences characteristic for this artist go through in the context of the relationship between self-portrait and the concept of life’s meaning and changes in its content. It also traces how the artist manages to commit to his conscious choice permeating his whole existence to create self-portraits and his reasons for having the "meetings" with himself. It is an attempt to answer questions posed by the paradoxical inverse relationship between the size of the synthesised messages to the world in which the artist lives and his ability to give sincere and honest answers to simple questions addressed to and from his self. Addressed are the issues how the ideologically provoked thresholds in life after filtering are transformed into an act of defence of personal truth, and why that very "self-awareness" is the necessary prerequisite for the achievement of this truth. The idea sustained is that the self-portraits of Nicholay Ruschukliev may be the key to understanding its transformation into genuineness about the world ... whereas the viewer who has touched this world "sinks" in the reflection of their own emotions, feelings, desires and fears.

Российская художественная интеллигенция и думская практика 1906—1907 годов

Author(s): Alexei Vyacheslavovich Zyablikov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2019

The changed political reality — the establishment of the State Duma in Russia in 1906 — made active a public discussion about a ratio of guarding and liberal elements in business of the state arrangement. The idea of naturalness and «the rule of law» of the autocratic power found unexpected refraction in consciousness of the art elite trying to comprehend the value and functions of new political institute, to understand a measure of its historical correctness. Based on the principles of historicism and system, applying tools of historical-genetic and historical-comparative methods, the author reveals evolution of perception by artists and literature of realities of the Duma practice of 1906—1907. Interest in new state institute in many respects was defined by hopes for civil consent, political and cultural and moral improvement of the Russian life. One of the main functions of the Duma seemed to artists in peacemaking and search of conciliatory line between various political forces and opinions, at unconditional respect for traditions of the Russian statehood, religion, culture. Without denying importance and political importance of new institute, figures of the Russian culture noted such evident qualities of the Duma practice as tendency to a phrase mongering and “theatrical” effects, inability to offer a part of political ambitions for the sake of nation-wide need, the aspiration to approve a policy priority over culture, claims for spiritual one-man management. Moderate conservatives (Octobrists) who could undertake search of balance of interests were slow and shy. The increasing public skepticism concerning opportunities of the State Duma to become the instrument of national reconciliation and consent became a result of the Duma impressions of 1906—1907.

Класика світової драматургії на китайській сцені XX ст.

Author(s): Li Zhenxing / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 39/2017

Purpose of Article. The purpose of the work is to find the generalizing features and trends of the appeal of the Chinese drama (spoken) theatre to the works of classics of the world drama - W. Shakespeare, H. Ibsen, A. Chekhov in the status of objects of artistic reception, as well as to find their alterations in the concrete and historical context of cultural life and society. To generalize the reasons for expanding the circle of authors of world literature and outstanding playwrights for a more reliable and full coverage of the influence on Chinese drama and "spoken" theatre. Methodology. The methodology of research, first of all, lies in applying comparative and historical-logical methods. The given methodological approach allows us to disclose and analyze the certain patterns of applying ideas and images of Russian and Western literature about the ideological models of Chinese society in specific historical conditions; these models being close to the relevant plot motives and ideological sources of a certain period. Scientific Novelty of the work is to expand the notion of the influence of classical world drama on the repertoire and the means of interpreting the plays by the new theatrical troupes of China. In particular, the differences between the "spoken" theatre and the "Beijing Opera," as well as the ways of the formation of the national theatre, considering the influence European dramaturgy - from Shakespeare to Chekhov. Conclusions. It is important for perception problems of a translated text of the work of art in a different cultural environment, that receptive aesthetics accentuates the question of historicism and social principles of this interpretation - in literature and drama, and in the theatrical culture in general. It is proved that in the mentioned period of time there was a transition in Chinese drama from the legends of xi qu theatre to the real life of a man. That is, Chinese playwrights have learned from the classics to create true, viable models of plays, to combine drama and lyricism together, to create new types of characters, a special genre of "lyrico-psychological drama." At the beginning of the XX century, the educated youth refused to adopt the norms of behavior determined by Confucian ethics; the adherence to well-doing, the external standards of decency and the family farm management were gradually becoming obsolete. This circumstance can be vividly illustrated by the reaction caused by the play "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen when the female movement in China began to be called "Noraism" after Nora - the protagonist of this play.

The Holocaust Theatre in Romania (1941-1958)

Author(s): Mihai Lukács / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2019

In the late 1940s, the Jewish theatre initiated the so-called performative reflection on theHolocaust in Romania, at a time when this art form simply did not exist internationally.This was possible due to the specific situation of the Yiddish theatre in Romania, includingthe large Jewish audiences which were familiar with progressive plays referring to actualissues of the Jewish community. Beginning with the IKUF Theatre, under the managementand directorship of Iacob Mansdorf, in 1945, the Yiddish theatre displayed the devastatingresults of the Holocaust upon the Jewish communities and tried to provide an artistic formulaso as to respond to the political necessity of condemning fascism, in anticipation of a worldin which anti-Semitic atrocities were no longer possible. One such plays was Night Shift (thefirst performance staged by the newly established State Jewish Theatre in 1948). Followingthe tradition of Abraham Goldfaden’s theatre from the end of the 19th century, the Holocausttheatre made use of various aesthetic and narrative, innovative forms, from Stanislavski’srealism to Brecht’s techniques, but all this faded away in the late 1950s.

Forum Julija Cezara u Rimu u funkciji kulta ličnosti

Author(s): Marko Marušić / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 9/2019

Tema ovog rada tiče se arhitektonske transformacije grada Rima i prihvatanje helenističkih tekovina u arhitekturi u vreme diktature Julija Cezara, a na primeru izgradnje Cezarovog foruma. Proširenje foruma, kao najznačajnijeg društvenog, političkog i kulturnog centra grada Rima, predstavlјa značajan korak u njegovoj graditelјskoj transformaciji. Arhitektonski, Cezarov forum je prostor ograđen tremovima sa korinstskim stubovima, Cezarovom konjaničkom statuom i hramom Venere Pramajke, koja se tradicionalno vezuje za rod Julijevske dinastije. Julijev forum je ujedno predstavlјao odraz Cezarovog političkog uspona i gotovo kultnog statusa stečenog u toku i nakon građanskog rata. Po njegovom uzoru, potonji rimski carevi gradili su forume zasnovane na sličnoj aritektonskoj i ideološkoj koncepciji.

GÖZETİM TOPLUMU ALGISINA SANATSAL TEPKİLER

Author(s): Reyhan Uludağ Eraslan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 43/2019

The roots of "surveillance", one of the most important tools of the governments for centuries, date back to very old times. Its major impacts, however, have begun to be deeply felt in modern times. Parallel to the development of nationstates and large-scale bureaucratic organizations in particular, surveillance has also become widespread. In the twentyfirst century, contemporary metropolises are exposed to a constant visual electronic surveillance under the name of security and public safety. In this context, we all are now constantly being watched in public spaces by invisible audiences behind MOBESE cameras. The basis of this system which proposes the control of society by force is based on Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon design. Today, Bentham's eighteenth-century design, Panopticon, is now intertwined with urban scales and replaced with electronic surveillance cameras. The surveillance towers and guards at Panopticon correspond to the central control rooms and the cameras, respectively. The ordinary citizen is being watched through cameras by invisible guards; but the observers are made invisible. Artists have responded to the aspirations of public surveillance by means of their works of art as well. In this article surveillance that's changed gradually in terms of physically and dimensionally which has all the way changed our physical and social life up to the present time, and the aspects are analyzed along with the related works of selected examples of arts so far.

The Modification of the Genre of Mystery Play in the Wagner’s, Schoenberg’s and Messiaen’s Compositions

Author(s): Nana Katsia / Language(s): English Issue: 03 (34)/2017

The purpose of my paper is to reveal the main features of the mystery genre in the European musical culture of the 19th and the 20th century on the basis of the genre features established in the Antiquity and the Middle Ages.The mystery play genre, as we know, in essence means the firm unity of certain stable features. The complexity of those features consists of two specific elements—religion and social, and a general one—the model of the world for a certain epoch.If in the mysteries of Ancient civilizations and the Middle Ages, the aforementioned components operated as a firm unity of inseparable elements; later, in the period after the “new times”, especially at the end of the 19th century and in the 20th century, the stable elements were disintegrated from each other. This process is discussed on the examples of the following operas:• The common religion and ethical model—Wagner’s Parsifal;• The code of moral rules and principles in the social context—Schoenberg’s Moses und Aron;• The explication of Thomistic ideas in the modern world—Messiaen’s Saint François d’Assise.What is outlined is the unity of necessary components of the genre of the mystery play: multidimensional sources of libretto; a mission of the main hero; the author’s interpretation of the mystery; the abundance of ritual scenes; the relationship between the internal and externaldramaturgical processes; synthesis of the different theatrical genres; static dramaturgy. All of these features suggest a specific type of musical main mystic spheres: divine, terrestrial and demonic. Consequently, the dramaturgy of opera staging has three levels of activity: superficial, inner and upon time.

Expressions of Postmodernism Within the Dimension of Digital Games

Author(s): Jana Radošinská,Zuzana Kvetanová / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

A specific type of society or historical period is usually determined by characteristic kinds of technology and corresponding forms of media contents that shape the public discourse and reflect both collective social experience and individual lifestyles. Given the preferred kinds of media products and media entertainment forms, contemporary society is terminologically denoted as “postmodern” (or “late modern”), largely due to the obvious expansion of gaming technologies and the Internet. Digital games and virtual gaming environments have become prominent forms of media entertainment, especially in the case of children, teenagers and young adults. The fact we cannot forget to mention is that every emerging societal model reflects or rather revisits and reshapes at least some of typical cultural elements and means of expression known from previous cultural epochs (for instance, digital games production draws inspiration and creation principles from modernism, classicism and other art or philosophical movements). These aspects are either recreated in identical ways or modified in order to include some of the already known features and consequently shape their own prominent characteristics. Particularities of the current postmodern (or late modern) society and its products are thus at the centre of our attention. The main objective of the study is to reflect on the presence of specific traits of postmodernism in the dimension of digital games. To reach the given goal, we mainly apply logical-conceptual methods of textual analysis, while the issue of mapping the characteristics of late modern culture in relation to digital gaming products is subject to a discourse analysis. Defining the basic terms such as “postmodernity” or “postmodernism” and introducing the elementary concepts related to this cultural form will help us to achieve the primary objective. The presented theoretical premises thus become adequate fundamentals for clarifying the presence of typical features of postmodern culture in both the formal design and narrative structure of digital games.

Creation And Development Of Accent Typeface Forms Of Writing And Their Use In Advertising

Author(s): Ivana Bulanda,Tomáš Koprda / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The first forms of the accent script were created at the beginning of the 19th century and at that time there was no indication that they would be very popular even in the second half of the 21st century. The reason for their emergence was the first industrial revolution and new requirements for the use of the font. In the 19th century, printers began to print various promotional and promotional prints more intensively and did not have the appropriate font for this type of printing. The article deals with the reasons for the creation of license fonts and the purpose of their use, while examining whether the original function of the font still applies today.

Türk Makam Müziğinin Batılılaşma Sürecine Genel Bir Bakış: Ankara Radyosu Örneği

Author(s): Bedirhan Büyükduman,Nesibe Özgül Turgay / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 68/2020

The fields art and culture have always been controlled and protected by authorities through various policies. Having been protected by the Ottoman Empire for many centuries, and seen as the official music of the empire, makam music went through various changes and transformations due to the Westernization movements from the beginning of the 19th century onwards. Turkish makam music which took its final form with the proclamation of the Republic in 1923, began to be seen as an archaic element as a result of the policies of this new regime, and was attempted to be eliminated through the Gökalpist doctrine, in order to found a national music. This research has been focused on the analysis of the effects of the reforms attempted in the musical area following the proclamation of the Republic, on the broadcasting activity in Ankara Radio. Books, magazines, newspapers and articles which give information about the Ankara Radio, have been determined and accessed through the archive research, and examined thoroughly. Thus within this research has been employed a qualitative descriptive research method. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that Ankara Radio could not avoid the dominant ideology since its foundation and has been kept Turkish makam music in the background thereby concentrate on Western music on broadcasting, even though it brought an stylistic innovation.
