The Role Of Exit Festival In The Development Of Novi Sad Identity

Uloga festivala "Exit" u razvoju identiteta Novog Sada

Author(s): Ana Jovanov / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: Novi Sad; Exit; music festival; city identity; Petrovaradin fortress

As a music event, the Exit festival attracts hundred thousands of visitors from Serbia, the Balkans, Europe and the world. In a decade of its existence it became one of the best European festivals, but also with its engagement, cultural and entertainment concept and support to humannitarian organizations contributes to the community as a whole over the year. In the same time Exit sends a positive message from Serbia to the world, and due to the festival Novi Sad became synonim of high quality music, happening, youth, and positive attitude to life. As an institution strongly supported by local public, and the event integrated into the city life, and inseparable from the Petrovaradin fortress, Exit is a relevant factor in understanding of Novi Sad identity, as an urban whole with cultural and historic heritage of its own, and identity of its inhabitants. Highlighting achievements and shortcomings in the Novi Sad and Exit cooperation, it should be pointed that this organization positively influences cultural and tourist life of the city, though its potential for better cooperation with the city is hardly exhausted.

The City As Writer’s Identity

Grad kao piščev identitet

Author(s): Aleksandra Đuričić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: city; identity; poet; work; times

Literary work of many writers has been determined by a city in which they were born or choosed to live. In this text as the outstanding examples are taken Constantine Cavafy (1863-1933), poet from Alexandria, and Orhan Pamuk (57), writer born in Istanbul and the 2006 Nobel Prize winner for literature. In his unvoluminous opus, Cavafy usually makes Alexandria the central topos of thinking and existence, sometimes turning to the Hellenic past, times of city’s foundation and its greatest glory. In his autobiografic novel, Istanbul: Memories and The City, Istanbul is central place of childhood and youth memories, with its quarters and districts, changes occuring in its long history, especially in the 20th century, when both the city and Turkey as a whole turned to the West. Both writers share the same strong urge to amalgamate achievements and cultures of East and West. The same urge is also evident in Orhan Pamuk’s novels My Name is Red and The Snow.The history of literature offers many examples of inseparable links of the fates of writers and the cities, so it could be said that there is no writer without the city: Aristophanes without Athens, Ovidius without Rome, Dante without Florence, Marcel Aimee without Paris, Sandor Marai without Budapest, etc. The city as part and parcel of writer’s identity is among the most distinctive characteristics of literature as a whole.

Identity Creation, City Brending

Kreiranje identiteta, "brendiranje" grada

Author(s): Ana Vasiljević / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: city; identity; brend

Each city has culture, tradition and characteristics of its own. The city is locus of knowledge production, historical initiative, freedom, diversity, multiethnic and multicultural existence. The city is the state of mind. Today it emerges as the most complex product, a commodity, a trade mark whose identity we create. We witness that no successful company will launch a new product or service without a previously carefully created brend, a creation of its own, for no product will conquer competition without a clear, positive and efficient brend strategy. In today’s world that became a global village, each place has to compete with every other place for its share of consumers, tourists, businessmen, investments, capital, esteem, attractiveness, attention. As economic and cultural national centres, the cities are increasingly the focus of international competition for capital, talent and glory. They turn to symbols - political, social and cultural, not only of their countries, but also of certain phenomena of the time.

Theoretical Background Of The Concept Of A City Identity - Case Study: Belgrade

Prikaz teorijskih modela u definisanju identiteta grada - studija slučaja grada Beograda

Author(s): Bojana Bursać / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: city identity; city marketing; city branding; Belgrade

The present time phrase, popularly known as the “century of city”, demands a detailed definition of a city’s identity and promotion of its brand in order to provide differentiation from other similarly defined places, as well as to defend its own identity from the possible negative effects of branding. Throughout this paper, city identity theories, advantages and disadvantages of the city branding are presented, together with the best necessary potentials of the city’s identity and city’s branding creation in order to apply that knowledge to the case study of Belgrade. So, the purpose of this paper is to discuss present conditions of city identity building and city branding and to propose some ideas for them in the case of Belgrade, a city of mixed, sometimes overlapping and sometimes almost not-linked identities. The notion of city identity is described from the point of view of different social sciences, based on quadripartite composition of physical setting, activities, meaning and genius loci. Finally, the result and proposition for identity direction and branding of the city were done by adjustingsome of the identities of Belgrade that have already existed during its history, encompassing the characteristics and values that can be perceived by the interviewes that took part in a survey on Belgrade (residents of Belgrade, representatives of the city in cultural, tourism and marketing and tourists), as well as, using the tendencies of the theory and practice of city identity building and brand definition. During the presentation of Belgrade’s potentials, the city has positively confirmed that city energy for moving foreword is still very existent in the case of Belgrade and that energy is ready to be redirected towards new values and assets in order to apply knowledge gained in theory.

Angoulem – From A Medieval City To The Capital Of Comics

Angulem - od srednjovekovnog grada do prestonice stripa

Author(s): Ljiljana Radošević / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: city; festival; comic strip; cultural industries; regional claster

Festivals’ extraordinary capacity to reshape cultural life of certain groups of people or of a local community has been known and appreciated for a very long time. These are some of the reasons for appearance of phenomenon called “festivalisation”. Real comic festival asserts its influence on the comics market directly and indirectly. Directly trough its programation, education and awards, and indirectly trough institutions and venues created as a result of festival’s influence on the society. Through its 36 year long history festival was buster for emergence of activities and institutions inspired by image. Understanding importance of education and training in this field, festival has been constantly struggling to assure proper implementation of different educational programs. That eventually led to creation of department of comics in regional school or Fine Arts, and specialization of many generations of comic artists and script writers. Moreover, festival has initiated creation of National Comics and Illustration Center. The institution was to become crucial factor in creation of regional economy based on image. Festival rehabilitated image of comics medium and CNBDI devoted its time and place for comics heritage protection. Creation of enterprises, studios schools, museum etc. which deal with phenomenon of image, found its reunion point in SMPI Magelis. Consequently, city of Angouleme and the whole region have been transformed due to the festival. This manifestation generated so many changes within the local community so Angouleme is not any more a medieval city in the middle of nowhere but the capital of comics in the Valley of Image.

Banjaluka City Park – A Multifunctional Space Of City Identity

Banjalučki gradski park - multifunkcionalni prostor gradskog identiteta

Author(s): Sarita Vujković / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: park architecture; urbanistic policy; cultural development; city identity

This article is focused on transformation of the central Banjaluka park realized in 2005 and 2006 in the attempt to answer whether the architectural-urbanistic change made was a completely new or somehow leaning on the ones from the Vrbas banovina times and post WWII reconstructions. The article also tends to define novelties that new change incorporated in the city historic, architectural and urbanistic heritage. The analysis leads to conclusion that the reconstructed central Banjaluka City Park “Petar Ko- ~i}” partly leans on some past solutions, but also establishes new standards of architectonic shaping and urbanistic planning of a new multifunctional space. So, this urbanistic endeavour turned the traditional park into a new integrated ambience with a new structural role belonging to everyday life, and not to leisure and entertainment only. Park system is established as a dominant point of the city urban organism, its cultural development, that way making it an indispesable element of a new city identity.

Cultural Diagnostics Of Identity And Image Of Serbia In The European Context

Kulturna dijagnostika identiteta i imidža Srbije u evropskom kontekstu

Author(s): Ljiljana Rogač / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: identity; culture discourse; image; media discourse; stereotypes; European integrations; cultural policy

In the context of global processes the question of cultural and ethnic identities, their position and possibilities of their sustainability and development is being posed, as well as the question of implications of identity policy in the context of wider social flows and trends. The role of culture in contemporary society is more and more important, while the perspectives created through different mechanisms shape the all-accepted social values which constitute the identity mosaic. Therefore the role of culture has never been so important as now, as well as the need for reconsidering the system of values and other elements that connect culture with identity. These are ideological and social changes: the change of the system of values and the system of the national identification and representation.

Paris Of Ducic And Crnjanski

Dučićev i Crnjanskov Pariz

Author(s): Slobodan V. Vladušić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: Paris; fashion; press; money; city in literature

In the article the author compares perceptions of Paris of Ducic and Crnjanski. Since the two also function as synecdoches of the Serbian literature Modern, as well as the literature of the Serbian post-war Modernism, their relationship is, by its very nature, a polemic one. It is obvious in their perception of Paris: for Ducic it is, in the first place, embodiment of the overall human progress, while for Crnjanski in the centre of Paris is an urban awareness understood as series of techniques related to establishment and maintenance of power in the city. Du~i} is interested in the Paris toponymes symbolizing non-temporal (the Sene) and traditional humanistic values such as civilization, erudition, wisdom (Notre Dame); Crnjanski, on the contrary, hybridizes interest in temporary, dynamic, with non-temporal located at the city edges, i.e. in the non-urban spaces. For Crnjanski in the centre of Paris are not values of civilization (as they are for Ducic), but three specific urban aspects: money as the measure of all values, press as a mechanism of constructing images of present and past, and the fashion, as an urban pattern ruling the urban/ non-urban opposition. Thus, from the perspective of Crnjanski’s perception of Paris, Ducic’s pre-war perception of the same city appears as an obsolete and non-urban.

Keywords: cultural capital; cultural resources; city cultural policies; public policies; integrative public policies; inclusivity; intercultural city; city development strategy

The main research question is how to link urban development strategy and cultural development strategy in time of rapid changes, intensification of global cultural influences on value changes and local cultural traditions, raising importance of services and abandonment of industrial logic. As service based economy is imposing its demands for re-designing of urban public spaces, cultural policy and strategy might suggest alternative specific demands. This paper offers a possible way of understanding a new logic of interaction within public policies.

Author(s): Slavica Radišić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: postindustrial city; urban regeneration; culture; culture led redevelopment; cultural regeneration; flagship; participation.

In the second half of the 20th century, a number of the large industrial cities in the west, which once prospered on the economic base of the 19th and 20th centuries industry development, had undergone a considerable economical difficulties. Rapid slide of the traditional industries was leading to economic decline, massive job loses and accompanying social problems. In these circumstances, during the seventies, the emphasis of the economic activity of the most western cities have shifted from the industry to the service economy and an emerging knowledge economy. This paper provides an analysis of the reasons that led to the crisis of the industrial city and emergence of the new postindustrial urban system. It provides a comparative analysis of the most noticeable trends concerning the contemporary city and its functional change in the post-industrial era. Special attention is given to the new role of the cities in the process of economic and cultural globalization when they have become more and more important as places to visit, to take part in social events, and to have cultural experiences.

The City And Culture

Grad i kultura

Author(s): Ratko Božović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 122-123/2009

Keywords: city; culture; civilization; ruins; creativity

The text treats the issue of city as a culturological phenomenon. In the context of reconsideration of the city - from its death, ruins and slow atrophy, to the utopian visions of the city as an “organ of love” - it surveys relevant theories of both domestic and foreign authors. In the context of definition of the basic value of the city, the article also poses the dilemma related to the analysis of counter-natural urban techno-environment, on the one, and citizens and their existential, ludic and creative needs, on the other hand. Alienation and loneliness, instead of belonging and closeness to the city are still challenges not only of the contemporary city, but also of the world of culture, and the development of new urban spaces and phenomena immanent to it.

“Terrible film” about “psychology of power”. Creators of the film about it`s meaning

«Страшное кино» о «психологии власти». О фильме «Царь» — его создатели

Author(s): Irina Borisovna Mikhailova / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 12/2015

Keywords: “The Tsar”; cinematography; P. S. Lungin; P. N. Mamonov; O. I. Yankovsky

This article is devoted to the film “The Tsar” created by P. S. Lungin. The author of the article gives an analysis of the meanings of the director and actors about the film and images of characters, such as Ivan the Terrible, Metropolitan Philip, Maria Temryukovna. “The Tsar” is a religio-philosophical historical drama. It`s protagonists, Ivan the Terrible and Metropolitan Philip were greats and controversial persons related to the Renaissance. According to the meanings of P. S. Lungin and P. N. Mamonov, Ivan the Terrible, from the one side, was a cruel and ambitious of power ruler, but, from the other, was an idealistic scribe, who was waiting the Last Judgment with a trembling. He imagined himself as a God and judged and beheaded “traitors” and “heretics” as Jesus, to enter paradise only with the Russian righteous people. Metropolitan Philip was a naive and kind abbot of the Solovetsky monastery. In the period of Oprichnina, he appeared in Moscow and became a fighter against evil and despotism. The eschatological fight between good and evil ended in defeat of Ivan the Terrible and with victory of moral purity, spirituality, which were identified with Metropolitan Philip. This meaning of the film was misrepresented by adherents of the cult of Ivan the Terrible.

From “God save the Tsar!” to “Red Wolves”: the AntiBolshevist Campaign by Louis Dumur

От «Боже, царя храни!» до «Красных волков»: антибольшевистский поход Луи Дюмюра

Author(s): F. Jacob / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 12/2015

Keywords: Louis Dumur; “Russian novels”; Russian revolution; anti bolshevism

After the expulsion from the Soviet Union in 1922 Russian intellectuals made significant efforts to establish a dialogue with French intellectuals. The symbol of this dialogue was the creation of “Franco-Russian studio”: 14 meetings in the period from 1929 to 1931 were attended. Stanislas Fumé and Jacques Maritain on the French side and B. Zaitsev, B. Poplawski, N. Berberova, N. Berdyaev, G. Fedotov from the Russian side took part in studio. Although the “studio” existed only several years, it had serious influence on Russian-French cultural dialogue development, especially by opening Russian religious philosophy to French. Though it is necessary to mention that not all French intellectuals were friendly to this dialogue – for example, Nikolay Berdiev’s view on East and West were not perceived by all. Journal “Chisla” (“Numbers”), based by poet N. Otsup, from 1932 to 1934 seeked to strengthening the positions of Russian literature in the context of French culture (“Paris Note”). Much later these two attempts at dialogue have borne results: the emergence of personalism in philosophy and the Christian Democratic Movement in politics. After the closing of “Chisla” the dialog between French and Russian emigrant cultures failed, though the “Noviy Put” (“New path”) journal made efforts on its development.

Reinstatement of the Death Penalty in Russia in the summer of 1917

Восстановление в России смертной казни на фронте летом 1917 г.

Author(s): Ilia Sergueevich Ratkovsky / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 12/2015

Keywords: A. F. Kerensky; L. G. Kornilov; M. M. Filonenko; Tarnopolsky disaster; death penalty; Military revolutionary courts; Russia; 12 Jule 1917

This article is dedicated to the reinstatement of the death penalty at the front in July of 1917. The article reviews possible causes for the abolition of the death penalty in March of 1917. The article identifies the role of the June military advance and Tarnopolsky disaster in the reinstatement of the death penalty. The roles of L. G. Kornilov, A. F. Kerensky and M. M. Filonenko are also highlighted. Many of the main documents, orders and instructions related to this process are published in the article. Use of the death penalty at the front in the summer of 1917 is described on the basis of numerous memoirs and newspaper publications. The activity of military revolutionary courts and punitive detachments at the front is likewise treated. The author emphasizes cases of repression against soldiers and at the military units. Examples of court cases are given. On the basis of the examined death penalty cases, it is argued that the punishment was imposed inconsistently in 1917. Despite its high profile, application of the death penalty was minimal. At the same time this measure increased the likelihood of a new revolution explosion and became one of convincing reasons for the 1918 outbreak of violence.
