Vjetrenjasta klepsidra. Autobiografske zabilješke 1924-1942

Author(s): Branko Polić / Language(s): Croatian

Branko Polić was born on April 24, 1924 in Zagreb. As a Jew, he was forced to spend about ten months of childhood and early youth on various coastal resorts. In 1945, he successfully mastered the classical grammar school and then studied at Sorbonne where he gained a French-language fellowship diploma. Upon returning, in 1948, he continued his studies in English and graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb, "in a record time", in 1950. He was soon admitted to the Radio Radio of Zagreb and thanks to musical affinities became a critic in the music program, then the editor of the music-speaking editorial (1956-1964). After the establishment of the Third Program, he became editor and commentator until his retirement (1985), and thereafter a regular associate. <br> Branko Polić met and talked with over five hundred reproductive artists, and collected fascinating documentary and music material on many of the travels he took as a music editor. While several thousand of his shows have "gone into ether," dozens of articles, discussions, presentations, essays, criticisms and translations have been scattered across domestic and foreign journals, newspapers, lexicons and collections.

Szerelem és halál Pompejiben

Author(s): Károly Szalay / Language(s): Hungarian

A regény lapjain az elpusztult, majd kiásott város, Pompeji mindennapjai elevenednek meg. A Vesuv kitörése előtti két nap ad időkeretet a sodró erejű történetnek. A főbb szereplők részben közvetlenül „a falról lépnek le”: a 11 000 fennmaradt falfeliraton, falfirkán megnevezett személyek köréből kerülnek ki, mint például Asteropaeus, a 107-szer győztes gladiátor, Smyrna, a perzsa lány, a kocsmárosné, az Isis szentély papja vagy Jucundus bankár. A regénynek mintegy keretéül a tudós id. Plinius sorsának alakulása szolgál, akinek életét unokaöccse leírásából ismerjük, és aki a természeti katasztrófa idején (Kr. u. 79.) a misenumi római hadiflotta parancsnoka volt.

How do different arts - cinema, theater, literature, music - tell the story of the transition to democratization? This was the main topic discussed at a Round Table, held in the end of September at G8 Cinema by researchers for the project ‘The Transition after 1989 - Interpretations of Historical Change, Social Experience and Cultural Memory in Contemporary Bulgarian Literature’. The cultural heritage of Transition was at the center of discussions about the memory, the clash between the image of freedom and the market mechanisms of governing culture and art and the role of the media.

Български места на памет, възпоменателни чествания в Република Северна Македония и техните медийни отражения

Author(s): Lozanka Peycheva,Lozanka Peycheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 10/2021

The research focuses on commemorative practices around the figure of Mara Buneva and her memorial plaque in the center of Skopje, which can be interpreted as a Bulgarian place of memory. The study tracked only online reporting of the practices, without observing the corresponding offline events. Online versions of electronic media and agencies (TV, radio, news agency websites); online media (information websites) and social ‘we-media’ (video sharing websites, blogs, social networks, etc.) were researched. The studied materials reveal the care of some communities to establish the memorial plaque as a special Bulgarian place of memory in Northern Macedonia and the efforts of other groups seeking complete amnesia and ultimate delegitimization of the past related to Mara Buneva.

Удвояване или за любословието на филологията

Author(s): Miglena Nikolchina / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 10/2021

Modern Mimesis: Self-Reflexivity in Literature is a passionate defence of philology that traverses the distances from Ancient Hellas to present-day Japan, from Ulysses to robots. This movement follows a logic described by the author as reconceptualization, and creates conceptual nodes configured through horizontal and vertical, temporal and spatial self-reflexive reduplications. The broad arc from the libraries of Alexandria and Pergamum to the mimetic valleys of robotics thus turns out to be underpinned by the reconceptualization of the ancient dispute between ‘analogy’ and ‘anomaly’, turning any attempt at ordering into an ‘endless series of rearrangements’.

ЛЪВСКОТО ДРУЖЕСТВО В РИМСКОТО ПРАВО

Author(s): Stoyan P. Ivanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The article discusses the origin and meaning of the notion and the term leonine partnership, as well as the problems associated with the distribution of profits and losses between the partners in the consensual contract for partnership in Roman law. The fragment from the Digests of Justinian where actually is the unique mention of the expression societas leonina and this form of partnership is defined by the Romal classical jurist Cassius is subjected to a legal-dogmatic and linguistic analysis. The fable of Phaedrus for the partnership between a lion, a goat, a cow and a patient sheep which is considered to be the original source, used for forming the concept of the leonine partnership in Roman legal thought is completely analysed and interpreted. The author paid special attention to the magna questio (the great discussion) among Roman jurisprudence, dating from the period of the end of the Roman Republic with some projections and in the classical period in connection with the distribution of profits and losses in the consensual contract of partnership as a result of the partnership`s activity. And on the other hand the article examines the problem about the existence of privileges or restrictions for certain partners regarding the profits and analysis of the two leading opinions on the subject through the exegesis of a fragment of the Institutions of Gaius.

Потребяване на култура онлайн

Author(s): Ivaylo Ditchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 11/2022

The digital world has incorporated all previous forms of communication: today we read online, listen to music, visit virtual museums and so on. But does cultural consumption via the new meta-media remain the same? The following observations are the result of a seminar with students of cultural studies. I am discussing the changes in the experiencing of the high 'culture of the soul' (Cicero), not everyday digital practices.

Рецензия на „Срещу човешкото: антиутопичният жанр в литературата на XX век“

Author(s): Alexander Popov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 11/2022

Chavdar Parushev’s monograph is a study of the literary genre of anti-utopia, situating the latter in a complex web of mutual determination together with the genres of utopia, science fiction and satire. The central analytical instrument developed in this study is the so-called ‘Plato’s lens’ which makes it possible to center thought about these genres around the relation between subject and state. Thus the development in time of new forms and technologies for relating subject and state leads to new developments in the anti-utopian genre, which becomes a way to think about the crises of producing human meaning. The monograph traces many crises of this kind, including examples from history which have overtaken fiction. It thus demonstrates the important uses of anti-utopia, in times of accelerating change in what it means to be human.

The article examines the National festival of folklore in Koprivshtitsa – a culmination of the assembly-singing movement – by looking for sustainable media representations of the folklore festivals, which has already been held for twelve editions (between 1965 and 2022). The mechanisms for organization and media coverage are sought in the chronological lines before and after 1989. The focus is on the discourses and presentation of the festival as a manifestation of collective and national identity, “the face of Bulgarianism”

Шедьовърът на Руставели – ренесансова поема или средновековен роман?

Author(s): Yordan Lyutskanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2023

The article introduces to the late medieval romance in verse Vepkhistq’aosani by Shota Rustaveli – the central artefact in Georgian cultural self-awareness and the top item of ‘high’ Georgian cultural export. It briefly presents its narrative content, indicating the correlation of two plot-lines (initially through enframing, after some point though horizontal interlacing). It briefly introduces to the main fluctuations and 20th-century tendency in translating the work’s title, interpreting the fluctuations as indicative of aesthetic differences, and the tendency as an indication of the ‘cultural market’ success of the Soviet-Georgian (in its ideological and aesthetical basis –a Stalinist and socialist-realist) image of Rustaveli’s masterpiece. It presents two influential to dominant claims of Georgian Rustvelology – that the work is a poema (and not a novel/romance) and that it displays, at least partially, Renaissance outlook and poetics, – considering these claims as tools (1) of Soviet “Culture Two” to allot a proper place to Georgian nation within the alternative modernity of the USSR and its premodern background-under-construction, and (2) of Soviet-Georgian cultural nationalism to define a usable past in post-Soviet conditions; and (3) as beliefs. It revitalises the option to contextualise the work of Rustaveli (and, indirectly, Georgian cultural identity) in non-Eurocentric terms, providing some factographic and theoretic clues from the field of macrohistory (J. Abu-Lughod et al.) and a methodological one from sociology of arts (P. Bourdieu).
