THE CRITIQUE OF THE SYMBOLICAL IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF JOHN ZERZAN

KRITIKA SIMBOLIČKOG U FILOZOFIJI J. ZERZANA

Author(s): Vili Radman / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 29/2008

In this article we have tried to give a short account of the philosophy of John Zerzan, i.e. his critique of the symbolical, and to point out its importance and possible implications. In fact, the primary target of Zerzan’s philosophy is culture and its contribution to the human self-alienation; the function of the symbolical is seen in this wider framework. The main source of human self-alienation lies in human desire for domination over nature. This desire has led to the loss of the primeval harmony between man and nature. The role of the culture and its symbolical dimension is to try to fi ll the gap which appeared in the human soul after this great loss of primeval harmony. However, in Zerzan’s view, this is something that culture, which is by its nature something artifi cial, is not able to achieve and, consequently, we are witnesses of this today as the contemporaries of an almost complete destruction of nature through human technology and of an attempt to close off human spirit to the outside world through the world-view and philosophy of post-modernism and its reductive emphasis on the language as the only reality.

FRANSISCAN BUILDINGS IN BELGRADE UNTILL YEAR 1739

FRANJEVAČKE GRAĐEVINE U BEOGRADU DO 1739. GODINE

Author(s): Katarina Glišić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 29/2008

The Franciscans came to Belgrade as early as in 1280 when they established their monastery within the Belgrade fortress. This monastery was, after the defense of Belgrade from the Ottoman Turks in 1456, reestablished by St. John Capistran. In the year 1521 when Belgrade fell under the Turks, they demolished the monastery and exiled the Franciscans. The Franciscan church was readjusted to a mosque. During the following period in which Belgrade was under Turkish rule the activity of the Franciscan order was quite limited, so they held just a chapel in the part of Belgrade called Dorcol. Duke Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria conquered Belgrade in 1688 and that was the opportunity for the Franciscans to ask for permission to build the new monastery in the exact place where the old one used to be. However, that wasn’t possible because of spreading of the space which belonged to the fortress. That was the reason why Leopold I gave them a mosque with a connected room which was situated in the middle of the Danubian suburb. The Franciscans temporarily readjusted the mosque into the Church of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, while the connected room was readjusted to the Chapel of St. Anthony of Padua. The building of a Franciscan monastery also began at that time. The whole activity came to an end in 1690 after another Turkish conquest of Belgrade. The building of catholic churches and monasteries was at its best in the period of Austrian rule between 1717 and 1739. At that time, among other catholic orders, the Franciscans were also building their new church and monastery, giving the Belgrade an imposingly baroque image. After the defeat of the Austrian army in 1739, the Franciscans retreated to Zemun. They will come to Belgrade again when the political situation allows it, which happened in 1920s. At that time they established the Franciscan monastery and the Church of St. Anthony of Padua, which was the work of the famous Slovenian architect, Jože Plečnik.

‘STRUGGLE’ FOR TRUE REVIEW (ABOUT THE WORK AND LIFE OF MARKO VEGA)

‘BORBA’ ZA ISTINSKU RECENZIJU (O životu i djelu Marka Vege)

Author(s): Esad Kurtović / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 29/2008

The offered content represents the building material for the history of modern science in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as a valuable stronghold for following the life and work of Marko Vega and his contemporaries. Here it also serves as a contribution to the question of today’s review. Today, numerous high-school institutions, publishers, and ministries of culture are the greatest strongholds of the value judgment which due to the trend of a more meager publishing of reviews mostly remains unknown to the broader circle of the faculty and public. One could publish yearly reviews, reports, selections, advancements, and the like within the protection of faculties, publishers, and ministry of culture, in which both development and recognition of the ‘struggle’ for true value within the profession would be more productive.

PLACE OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA IN IVAN FRANJO JUKIĆ’S TRAVELOGUES

PROSTOR BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE U PUTOPISIMA IVANA FRANJE JUKIĆA

Author(s): Iva Beljan / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 29/2008

This work questions the role and mode of shaping the space in travelogues by Bosnian Franciscan, cultural, and literary worker Ivan Franjo Jukić, by dividing the texts into two spheres: while in one there is only a travelogue, traveling from Sarajevo to Constantinople in year 1852, in the other there is the rest of his works. The other assembly of travelogues in his work is related with Jukic’s work Zemljopis i poviestnica Bosne, which used travelogues as preliminary work, which also defined relation of the writer towards the space – style of his narrative mediation is close to scientific one, and description of space is prevalent to narrative plot. Illustration of the travel to Constantinople, however, emerges from different reasons so that travelogue writer’s relation towards the space and his shaping are closer to literary-artistic conception, and events framework of the travelogue becomes more important than the spatial. The work, thereto, also tends to question the function of space in these travelogues with respect to literary-narrative time – Ilirism.

Úloha médií v prevencii násilia páchaného na ženách a v podpore rodovej rovnosti

Author(s): Barbora Holubova / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 7/2010

Keywords: violence against women; gender based violence; gender equality; media; monitoring

The following text presents basic information on the role of media in preventing violence against women (VAW) as gender-based violence. It maps out the political-legal setting of media environment in terms of violence and discrimination based on sex / gender. Political - legal setting forms a foundation and parameters of media monitoring carried out in 2009. Results of standardized monitoring of coverage and the qualitative case monitoring of media outputs indicate violations of the principles of journalistic professionalism in terms of promotion of zero tolerance of VAW, gender fairness and fulfilling the tasks of preventing gender-based violence.

Nestinar Melodies for Lyra

Гьдулкови нестинарски мелодии

Author(s): Ruzha Neykova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 3/1999

The panagir of St. Constantine and Helen was performed together by two neighbouring villages in the region of Strandzha mountains in the past – Bulgari/Urgari and Greeklingual Kosti. Panagir/nestinar melodies were performed by bagpipes and by two-headed skin drums. There exists a clear evidence that the musicians from the village of Kosti played the same melodies also by lyra (Bulg. gadulka). According to the Greek anastenari: “…after the emigration from Strandzha it was more and more difficult to find a bagpipe player. That’s why the lyra took the place of the bagpipe”. At present in the panagir of St. Constantine and Helen in Northern Greece, only a few anastenari’s melodies – “On the Road”, “Young Constantine”, “Hope dance, led by the epitrop”, melodies whose performance is not so strongly tied to a definite place and time of the ritual as nestinar melodies performed in the village of Urgari – are played by two lyres in the village of Agia Eleni) or by two bagpipes (in Langada) and by a drum/drums. Although the Greek lyraplayers are treating quite freely the basic musical material (consisting of a sequence of short musical motives – of similar structure and intonation) the musical line sounds stylistically homogeneously as a whole. Most importantly – the difference in musical sounding and ethos of the Northern Greece and Southeast Bulgarian panagirs is, to my opinion, due to the substitution of instruments. This has influenced the melodic style and nature of the Greek playings, as far as the ritual’s line of continuity and adoption by the local people uninformed about the past of the anastenari tradition, is concerned. The Greek anastenari playings are vital evidence for the recreation of the inherited musical and ritual memory in the context of a different time and space, and as a different instrumental ethos and style.
