,,Umrzeć to byłaby wielka przygoda” Piotruś Pan w reżyserii Roberta Wilsona

Author(s): Katarzyna Peplinska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

As a teenager, Robert Wilson suffered from a speech disorder. When a traditional therapy did not work, dance and working with the body turned out to be effective. Inspired by the experience, Wilson invented a system based on dance and physical activities which allowed him to work with disabled children as well as those who, for whatever reason, were excluded socially. He deviced individual movements for every actor and the whole system’s aim was psychologically-therapeutic. Wilson was inspired by the body moving in slow motion which created an oeniric effect. Wilson’s experience with the body is clearly visible in his shows created in institutional theatres. Actors with heavy make-up move according to a particular sequence inside a closed aesthetic form. The author looks at Wilson’s Berlin piece „Peter Pan” to analyse the way the performer’s body and voice work in his theatre.

Ciała obecne – ciała znaczące – „Ciała obce”

Author(s): Beata Popczyk-Szczęsna / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Modern Polish drama texts seem to be „dramas of the body”; the body appears in them as a valid problem of the world depicted (along with various aspects of the man’s bodily existence, e.g. procreation, illness and agony). These drama works could be analyzed with reference to Erika Fischer-Lichte’s aesthetics of performativity and the assumptions of somatic criticism. The deliberations presented in this article are a case study: they concern Julia Holewińska’s drama entitled Foreign bodies and a theatrical performance based on this drama work at Teatr Wybrzeże in Gdańsk in 2012. Difficult bodily and sensual experience, as well as social and cultural, were portrayed in the text and the theatrical performance; it is a story of the man who underwent a sex change operation. In the drama, which was inspired by the biography of Marek Hołuszko, a “Solidarity” member, the author highlighted the carnalityof the hero/heroine. The theme of an individual being entangled in history and the norms of the cultural sex becomes extremely crucial in the world depicted here. Kuba Kowalski, director of this theatrical play, has created an allegoric message of exclusion. In the play, being a vivid stage performance in its character, what is essential is the precise mechanics of the theater group. An intensified performative aspect of the play stems from two predominant principles of the actors’ mechanics: it is highlighting individual performers and their bodies as well as the technique of cross-casting. Foreign bodies by Julia Holewińska and Kuba Kowalski belongs to a group of theatrical performances which are centered around the myth of an outsider, social weirdo or victim. The play showing the hero entangled in a conflict of the biological and cultural sex clearly exhibits the power of the culture as being disciplining and restrictive for an individual.

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

Makatka, an ordinary piece of linen with an embroidered straight contour drawing, often with a sentence or an inscription.

I discuss the genesis of the makatka, its former and contemporary functions and the meanings that were attributed to it.

Music Education and Musical-Sociological Research

Author(s): Bedřich Crha / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The current world which is nowadays commonly called globalized, postmodern, media, information, virtual, consumer etc. is typical of the significant change of music environment where new, unexpected and often unpredictable ways of working of different music types enter the relatively stable system of music in society, so called new dimension of music social existence. That requires a continuous theoretical reflection from music pedagogy as a starting point for further projection of the process of music education which is impossible without information of musical-sociological type on music activities and attitudes to music genres which present strong correlations with music preferences, especially in a wider context of values and value orientations. The significant source of this information might be the results of empiric surveys of individual university departments in the area of music science and music education which are the subject of this essay.

Extracurricular Musical Activities in Primary School from the Teachers’ Point of View

Author(s): Sabina Vidulin / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper stresses the importance of organized and planned activities in primary school students' free time, by means of their participation in extracurricular musical activities. In this process, it is important to focus on student satisfaction, active participation, and concrete contribution, which would ensure high-quality outcomes and influence comprehensive student development. Research results point out the advantages and drawbacks of organizing extracurricular musical activities in Croatian schools. Teachers stress that the interest of students ranges around average levels, that the curriculum is largely well adapted to their needs and capacities, but they also report that students cooperate successfully with one another and that the work atmosphere is pleasant. By offering various extracurricular musical activities in the school one can help students to broaden their knowledge and develop their musical skills. For this reason, offering new programs, materials, and approaches is inevitable if we wish to modernize these activities and receive greater student interest in participation.

Aesthetic Everyday Practices of Pupils and the Implications for Music Education

Author(s): Georg Brunner / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This article deals with the phenomenon of aesthetic everyday practices of pupils and examines possible implications for music education. Drawing on findings of empirical studies conducted by the Department of Music at the University of Education in Freiburg (Germany), the article explores topics such as music preferences among youths, music as a means of distinction, distribution channels of music, reasons for listening to music, reactions to firsttime exposure to a music piece, as well as school class taste. While the results of the studies confirm that youths largely prefer popular music styles, the article discusses teaching approaches that use both popular genres as well as classical music in the classroom.

Proroczy aspekt awangardy

Author(s): Bożena Tokarz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The art and poetry of the historical avant-garde contains prophetic elements referring to the later artistic development, which are not subject to a simple continuation but rather continuation via degradation. They result from the two prevalent tendencies at that time: from aesthetic aristocratism in the midst modern civilization’s equalizing tendencies and from seizure of non-art areas, rejection of tradition and reaching for sources; as well as from the perceived blemishes in the image of monolithic perfection. The post-avant-garde work rejected the ideology of the historical avant-garde believing in the role of the artist in the world, in unity, in aesthetic, social and technological utopias, by undertaking the following artistic activities: destruction in construction, language relativism, momentary artistic creation, emotionality against anti-emotionality, hybrid forms, anti-aestheticism, diffusion of arts, the focalization and multinterpretability of the world. The works of Srečko Kosovel and Julian Przyboś have in a different way initiated changes in the post-avant-garde poetry, using some of the mentioned strategies for expressing a different worldview.

Filmske mačke: feministička kritika zoomorfizma na filmu

Author(s): Petra Belc Krnjaić / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Throughout the history of patriarchal culture women were often equated with animals, closely associated with nature and naturalized by applying animal names, among which cats hold a high position. During the Middle Ages in accordance with patriarchal tendencies of the Catholic Church, women’s sexuality was related to bestiality and cats as one of their intimate partners and witch helpers were demonized. In the context of film history the presence of cat imagery on film is as long as the gender asymmetry and patriarchal ideas of relating women to animals. Even the first cats recorded with a movie camera bore clearly delimited traditional gender roles. Cats on film are often used to accentuate character traits of the protagonists, but while they generally soften and ennoble male characters, they are used to accentuate female unpredictability, emotional instability and independence, and give women supernatural powers. This paper brings a brief historical overview of movie cats and women as seen through a feminist lens. It also aims at locating the points of continuity of these patriarchal mythic structures in contemporary film culture which help to shape popular beliefs and continue to perpetuate the myth of the special connection between cats and women.

Textile Waste, Ecology and Commercialism

Author(s): Goranka Stanić / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The area of the fashion industry has never been stronger and the consumption and purchase of clothing, fashion, sports, children's, business is constantly growing. Parts of the world do not resist the consumer mentality, which also depends on the personal attitude of the individual, and the poorer part of the world is the one that produces clothes for minimum wages. Throughout history, clothing has served to protect against the weather, beautify and last until almost complete wear and tear. It was expensive, and the average resident didn’t spend on a wardrobe like it seems today. The field of clothing is comprehensive and interesting both sociologically and psychologically and there is often an exaggeration in consumption which strengthens both production and the fall in product prices. With the fall in price, fall and quality, clothing, not fashion, because it is debatable to talk about the meaning of fashion that it had decades ago and the definition, which speeds up the process of changing the purchase and rejection of clothing. In contrast to the mass consumption of cheap clothing, there are large fashion houses with extremely unaffordable and high prices of unique items. The problem and question of ethical principles lies in piling up unnecessary clothes, buying supplies and discarding that same wardrobe in a few months. Textile waste can be recycled in organized societies, and the opposite ends up in landfills that, like any other landfill, pollute the environment. Conscientious societies or individuals will manage their clothing sensibly, but so-called "shopping" often occurs, especially among women.

Niepełnosprawność w historii sztuki oraz anty-ableizm sztuki współczesnej

Author(s): Joanna Stawowy / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The subject of illness and disability has been explored by artists for a long time. Depending on the era, it was presented in different ways. Twentieth-century social movements, interested in emancipating otherness, shed new light on the perception of the human body and its causative capabilities. Currently, the artist is more a commentator of reality than its passive observer and disability is one of the most important subjects of art. The exclusion, which used to involve disabled people, seems to be passing nowadays, however the problem of ableism still exists. Contemporary artists refer to it in their works trying to face harmful stereotypes. The purpose of this article is to look at disability through the eyes of artists, to find its representations in works of art and to trace how the perception of the disabled body has changed, based on the aesthetics and canon of a given age – from the perfect body of antique to the social involvement of contemporary art.

İnsanlık tarihi, bireyin bilgi ve ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda hayatta kalma eğiliminin bugünün bilimine temel olan sürecine işaret etmektedir. Tarihöncesi insan bu çaba içinde sürekli gelişim göstermiştir. Mevcut buluntulardaki görsel kültür ögeleri toplumları anlama gayretimizi mümkün kılar.

Müzik ve Posthüman

Author(s): Elif Aykanat Özcan,Yunus Yapalı / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

İnsan varoluşundan beri mutlak bir anlam arayışı içindedir. Bu yüzden, kimi zaman doğayla kurduğu ilişkileri, kimi zaman da doğa olaylarını, kendince bir yaklaşımla tanımlama çabasında olmuştur. İnsan, kimi zaman doğayı çözümlemeye çalışırken ondan korkmuş, kimi zaman beslenmiş, kimi zaman onu kutlamış, kimi zaman da onu alt etme arzusu baskın gelmiştir. İnsanın becerilerinin artması, alet yapabilmesi, kullanabilmesi ve sanayi ve teknolojideki atılımlılarla birlikte düşünce biçimi değişmiş, insan bir zamanlar parçası olduğu doğayı ve kendinden başka tüm yaşam formlarını arka plana koyarak, kendini önceleyen bir yapıya bürünmeye başlamıştır.

„Licem u lice“: srpsko-albanska kulturna saradnja u medijskom diskursu

Author(s): Ana Birešev / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Since 2008 several literary, theatrical and art events have been organized in collaboration with Albanian artists. This paper analyses discourses produced in Serbian media on the occasion of these events. It is examined to what extent (if any) did the given discourses reproduce the logic and instruments of discourses identified in the previous research on the symbolic struggles in Serbia, and how a specific topic – art – influenced the form and the content of the messages. My study found four types of discourses: one, mainly characterized by its reliance on the matrices of inellectual-political positioning established in the prior symbolic struggles; second, based on the argument that art can, and should, be socially engaged; third, the one that raises art above the daily politics and defends the principle of the autonomy and creative freedoms; fourth, the discourse in which art has been given the role of the mediator for discovering the ’real life’ and the problems people are facing in everyday life. The analysis of these discourses includes the assessment of their influence on the change of the society’s relation towards cultural, but also other kinds of cooperation between Kosovo and Serbia.

Summary

Author(s): Not Specified Author / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This book attempts to capture the momentum, a moment of transformation, where the complex processes related to the expansion of heterogeneous cosmopolitan modernity intersect and converge, processes that influence and change both Euro-American civilisation and the planet as a whole, and along the way transform the state, economic, cultural and social arrangement, the practises and the notions used in order to understand our existence in the world. The authors of the studies that make up this publication look at the problem from several selected aspects falling within the domains of sociology, culture and new media art, which have in common an effort to put current phenomena into more general and more profound social, political and cultural contexts. They strive to avoid presentism in order to observe the processes gathered under the umbrella of „cosmopolitan modernity“ from the point of view of the longue durée.
