Author(s): Anna Góral / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2014

Currently, a particularly important issue in the context of cultural heritage management is the question of sustainable development, in which cultural heritage objects are analyzed in terms of their economic, social and cultural values. The most accepted perspective in the current discussions focuses on the formulation and implementation of cultural policies, while, on the other hand, much less space is given to local communities, their needs and expectations in relation to available resources of cultural heritage. In this text I will discuss the issue of functioning of various objects of cultural heritage within local communities and the management of those objects at the local level. A particular emphasis will be placed on the issue of multiplicity of cultural heritage stakeholders and the interactions between them.

Pamięć i tożsamość. Zabytki kultury materialnej z Listy światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO w Rumunii (krótka prezentacja tematu)

Author(s): Ewa Kocój / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2014

In recent years the Romanian cultural heritage has been gaining more and more interest from European scholars. It is understandable, since the turn of the 20th and 21th century is regarded as the moment of the explosion of interest in the subject of heritage and collective memory. Romania, which in the time of Communist regime was a “stronghold” on the border of the East and West, can still boast unknown and unresearched monuments, which provide a lot of new information on Byzantine and post-Byzantine culture, as well as on the cultures of ethnic and religious minorities living in this country. This article presents the characteristics of cultural heritage management in Romania, as well as the most important institutions dealing with this. Tangible cultural heritage listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites are presented, e.g. the painted orthodox churches and monasteries of Bukovina, the wooden churches of Maramure, the Dacian Fortresses of the Orăştie Mountains, and the fortified churches in Transylvania. The discourse around these monuments in the Romanian culture is also briefly commented on. It revolves around the ancient settlement myth referring to the Dacian heritage, the orthodox faith understood as fidelity to original Christianity and, gradually, the multicultural heritage of other ethnicities so strongly inhabiting the Romanian territory. It shows that Romania, just like other European countries, has the need to present its history through tangible heritage and emphasizing the Dacian-Roman and Orthodox identity, as well as the need to create new narrative and new post-communist countenance, with a clearly emphasized aspect of a multicultural country inhabited by various ethnicities and religions.

Pracownicy instytucji kultury vs. świat biznesu. Zasady prowadzenia negocjacji z trudnymi partnerami

Author(s): Agnieszka Postuła / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

The aim of this paper is to analyze factors determining effective negotiations from the perspective of employees of cultural institutions. The paper presents the results of the research conducted in the years 2007–2014 in collaboration with NCK. The participants of workshops, post-graduate studies and trainings (who were representatives of culture institutions) were asked to name significant problems that occurred during their regular business negotiations. The most often mentioned challenge was facing an asymmetrical relation which they claimed to be part of. The participants stated that an unequal distribution of power influenced almost each of their actions, so it led them to failure. They believed that negotiations with a cultural event sponsor were win-lose situations in which they were usually the losers. They considered almost each representative of a business world as a hard negotiator. The article analyzes these problems and points out some areas for improving the approach of culture institutions employees as well as suggests some directions for the development of bargaining skills.

Pierwsze pokolenie polskich freudystów – próba geopsychoanalizy

Author(s): Lena Magnone / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2015

Doctor Krokowski from The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann as well as other examples from inter-war European literature demonstrate that the psychoanalyst in the group consciousness of the period was a Polish Jew. The distinct connection between psychoanalysis and Polishness was the outcome of a considerable representation of persons of Polish origin among the pioneers of the movement: Poles were among the closest collaborators of Freud and in the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society they comprised the second largest group after the Austrians. They also included numerous courageous women who frequently combined psychoanalytical practice with radical socialism and decidedly feminist views. The author of the article outlined a sui generis group biography of this generation of cosmopolitan intellectuals, lay Jews born in Galicia, Poles educated and working in Vienna or Berlin, believing in the cultural and political force of the Freudian project and dramatically aware of the need to change the world or at the very least its sexual and social codes. In this fashion the author showed the way in which the outbreak of the Second Word War affected the fate of the protagonists of the text, condemning them, at the height of their careers, to emigration and starting life anew in entirely different conditions; he also proved that the year 1939 denoted the end of the emancipatory dimension of classical psychoanalysis, which from a Central European cultural project turned into an American theory. The personal successes of the Europeans in their new homeland and the ostensible triumph of psychoanalysis in America conceal its actual end: psychoanalysis assumed medical dimensions and became deprived of feminist and radical features. The resignation by the emigrants of the core of Freudism – a condition for finding employment in the United States – also obliterated its Central European roots. The presented attempt at geo-psychoanalysis entails predominantly following the trajectory of the Polish members of this movement, who at the onset of the twentieth century arrived from the provinces of the Empire to its Viennese capital, and who as a result of World War II once again found themselves on the sidelines, in a psychoanalytical “Wild West”, which in the course of the following decades turned, with their cooperation, into a new centre of the world, thus relegating the former one to the role of a periphery.
