Kategoria przypadku w filmowej tetralogii Michelangela Antonioniego

Author(s): Zuzanna Sokołowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 12/2015

Michelangelo Antonioni is an Italian director whose images leave the viewers in a state of subtle suspension. His films oscillate around existential matters which, above all, are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence as well as neuroticism, so characteristic to his whole creative activity. Director’s discerning observation does not end where a decision or a fleeting change is communicated to viewers. With visuality, he tries to reach the deepest structures of human consciousness. Antonioni is a true artist-philosopher, trying to answer the fundamental question – is human life governed by coincidences?Michelangelo Anotnioni to włoski reżyser, którego obrazy pozostawiają widzów w stanie subtelnego zawieszenia. Jego filmy oscylują wokół egzystencjalnych zagadnień, którymi rządzi przede wszystkim przypadek, jak i neurotyzm, tak charakterystyczny dla całej jego twórczości. Wnikliwa obserwacja reżysera nie kończy się na tym, aby widzom zakomunikować jakąś decyzję czy ulotną zmianę. Stara się za pomocą wizualności dotrzeć do najgłębszych struktur świadomości człowieka. Antonioni to prawdziwy filozofujący artysta, próbujący odpowiedzieć na zasadnicze pytanie – czy ludzkim życiem rządzi przypadek?

Anticapitalism, xenofobie, protocronism, misoginism. O analiză a ideologiei formației Phoenix

Anticapitalism, xenofobie, protocronism, misoginism. O analiză a ideologiei formației Phoenix

Author(s): Emanuel  COPILAȘ / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2022

A very famous band during the communist period, Phoenix remained one of the central names of Romanian rock and Romanian music in general after the collapse of the Ceaușescu regime in 1989. This essay analyzes the contradictory and sometimes misleading ideology of the band, as it was laid down mostly by its leader, Nicolae Covaci, in his interviews and memoirs. It aims to support a rather uneasy premise, namely that between the official communist culture and youth culturesa process of convergence occured, a process that in no way did away with the dogmatism and authoritarianism of Romanian communism with reference to youth and it is not theorized in order to alleviate the major shortcomings of the communist period.

Аспекти от влиянието на персийската литература върху иранското кино

Аспекти от влиянието на персийската литература върху иранското кино

Author(s): Lora Todorova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 2/2023

The article will specify the processes and specific forms of manifestations of Persian literature on Iranian cinema. The main highlights are related to the purposeful exposure of leading scholarly positions in the discourse on the relationship between Persian literature and Iranian cinema, in the contexts of their interaction and impact. The main discussion fields are related to the articulation of the collaboration of directors with writers and poets (on screenplays, adaptation of literary works, etc.), the use of Persian poetry in the form of dialogue in films, including the citation of famous masters of the Persian word such as Hafez, Rumi, Ferdowsi, Ahmad Shamlu and a number of others, the poetic vision of the world, mysticism and mystical love, the use of poetic means of symbolism, metaphors, as well as the characteristic multi-layered meaning. The main thesis is that at the basis of Iranian cinema, along with the Persian language, cultural, mythological, historical and religious traditions, literary traditions occupy their essential place.

Pitfalls of the Pseudo-Biblical Films

Pitfalls of the Pseudo-Biblical Films

Author(s): Marek Lis / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2023

In the first decades of the 21st century, more than 70 feature films have already been produced in various cultural and religious contexts, with Jesus of Nazareth as the central figure; among them there is the ambitious and innovative project of the series The Chosen, scheduled for seven seasons. The creators are inspired by the Gospels and other books of the Bible, but many of these works, uncritically adopted by some catechists, turn out to be films that depart from the content and meaning of the biblical books (e.g. The Shack, Noah). In this way, do attractive works of audiovisual popular culture, produced outside the context of the Church’s faith, reinterpreting profoundly the content of the Gospels, not become new loci theologici, however, leading the viewer into theological pitfalls?

Communicating Religious Content and the Reception of Meanings in Social Space: The Series Saviour Under the Birches

Communicating Religious Content and the Reception of Meanings in Social Space: The Series Saviour Under the Birches

Author(s): Małgorzata Abassy / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2023

The article contains an analysis of the content of the 12-part series entitled Saviour under the Birches. The main idea of the director, Leonid Eydlin, to show the audience the ordinary side of life, however related to faith and the search for the right decisions in difficult situations, was confronted with the comments of the viewers, posted under subsequent parts of the series on youtube.com, kinopoisk.ru, otzovik.com, and kino-teatr.ru. The source material is treated as a cultural text in the Lotman sense. Content analysis and the hermeneutic method, taking into account contexts, are the research methods. Analyses of the content of the series made it possible to show that Eidlin’s intention to show Orthodoxy as a religion culture, based on the realities of everyday life of an ordinary man, preoccupied with material problems but also searching for the meaning of the problems affecting him in the non-material world. The analysis of Internet users’ comments, in turn, showed that they identify their problems with those experienced by the characters in the series.

Stereotypical Elements in the Narrative Structure of the Nationally “Other” in Contemporary Polish and Ukrainian Cinema

Stereotypical Elements in the Narrative Structure of the Nationally “Other” in Contemporary Polish and Ukrainian Cinema

Author(s): Olena Rosinska / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2023

This paper researches topical Ukrainian and Poland cinema narratives related to interaction with the representatives of other nationalities in the territory of one country. The purpose of the research is to analyse changes in intercultural narratives related to the national stereotypes in contemporary films. The current development stage of the world culture requires new narratives –signals about that appear in the world and Ukrainian cinema. For Ukraine, these narratives become especially relevant after 2014. Now, the Ukrainians are thinking over their history and their relationship with those who the history united them with in a new way. This is perfectly illustrated by the films under analysis, Why I Am Alive (Ukrainian title: Chomu ya zhyvyi) (2015) and Shchedryk (2022), where the characters build a new discourse of their value-based existence by getting released from national stereotypes. Some stereotypes are analysed extensively in relation to films Lessons of Farsi, The Pianist, The Jew (Żyd).

Świętość i grzech w wybranych filmach Federico Felliniego

Świętość i grzech w wybranych filmach Federico Felliniego

Author(s): Natasza Ziółkowska-Kurczuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2023

The subject of this article is the search for Christian themes presented in non-obvious ways in selected films of Federico Fellini. The analyzed films Nights of Cabiria, Rome and Sweet Life are united by the social space of Rome, marked by both the stigma of ancient culture and the Vatican, as the seat of the ecclesiastical state. The films are also tied together by the final portrait of the heroines, which has the character of a meta-linguistic personal gesture made by the director. The paintings differ in narrative style and structure, but all of them raise questions about moral principles and question or even challenge religious and cultural values in search of deeper meaning. Rome appears as a modern city of sin (the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah), where holiness and purity are increasingly difficult to find.

Postać strasznej zakonnicy jako chwyt narracyjny we współczesnych horrorach

Postać strasznej zakonnicy jako chwyt narracyjny we współczesnych horrorach

Author(s): Stanisław Dunin-Wilczyński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2023

The article discusses the role of location, fear of supernatural forces, and anxieties related to organized religion and change of order in horror films about nuns. It depicts how the character of the nun has functioned in horror cinema to date with a particular focus on the nunsploitation trend. In analyzed films, location is important because the place of action co-creates the atmosphere of horror. Monasteries provide the perfect backdrop for filmmakers seeking to evoke a sinister mood, as they are associated with mystery, isolation, and seclusion of the characters, intensifying the feeling of fear. Horror films about nuns often use a narrative device of inversion manipulating perceptions about religious institutions. Monasteries, which should be places of prayer and charity, become houses of demons. The motif of transforming innocence into corruption illustrates the depraving power of evil. The article analyzes how horror films about nuns manage to evoke fear and attempts to cover the cultural and social meaning of these films in the context of communal anxieties and the changing vision of the church and its role.

Wisława Szymborska w polskich dokumentach biograficznych (na podstawie filmów: Chwilami życie bywa znośne, Napisane życie. Wisława Szymborska oraz Radość pisania)

Wisława Szymborska w polskich dokumentach biograficznych (na podstawie filmów: Chwilami życie bywa znośne, Napisane życie. Wisława Szymborska oraz Radość pisania)

Author(s): Maria Mocarz-Kleindienst / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2023

The purpose of the present research is to analyze the narrative strategies used in three biographical documents dedicated to the Polish Nobel Prize winner Wislawa Szymborska. The ways of profiling the heroine’s image were analyzed with their following components: the subject(s) of the narrative, the analysis of its content and the techniques used to expose biographical themes. The following films were analyzed: Radość pisania (dir. Antoni Krauze, 2005), Chwilami życie bywa znośne. Przewrotny portret Wisławy Szymborskiej (dir. Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska, 2009), Napisane życie. Wisława Szymborska (dir. Marta Węgiel, 2015). The analysis showed that biographical documentaries play a typical cognitive-educational role: they familiarize us with the literary works of the Nobel Prize winner, inform us in an unconventional way about selected facts from her private life. The procedures of using and combining various media (intermediality, intermodality, intertextuality) make the biographical document more credible and attractive from an aesthetic point of view.

Nowa polityka reprezentacji różnorodności w amerykańskim przemyśle audiowizualnym jako przykład negocjacji znaczeń

Nowa polityka reprezentacji różnorodności w amerykańskim przemyśle audiowizualnym jako przykład negocjacji znaczeń

Author(s): Iwona Morozow / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2023

The audiovisual industry in the so-called “post-Weinstein era”, proposed a number of solutions concerning women in everyday working practice. What is more, those changes can be visible in the contemporary narratives about women, presented in terms of emancipation and inclusivity, but also as an effect of the monetization of feminist trends. It results in programmatic increase of the number of female characters in the roles of protagonists but also in less stereotypical creation and diverse representations within genres. In the article, I would like to focus on the analysis of discourses related to the new diversity policy in the audiovisual industry, focusing on the analysis of the film “Wonder Woman”, dir. Patty Jenkins, often referred to as the beginning of a new, subversive feminism. In this article I’ll be using mainly British cultural study proposition of encoding and decoding to determine the relationship of selected content to the hegemonic narrative, and finally to look at and draw conclusions about the effects of program changes so far.

Velký kostel menších bratří (stavební vývoj konventního chrámu sv. Ducha v Opavě)

Author(s): Lucie Augustinková / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2024

St. Spirit Church has been a dominant feature of the Opava town for more than seven hundred years. Many researchers have written about history and evolution of the church. No surprise was expected as researchers believed that everything had already been found out. The building archaeology survey in 2022 had to fulfil only one purpose – to carry out modern research according to the up-to-date methodology. But this survey brought many new discoveries and its conclusions were quite surprising.

Repere în istoria și evoluția străzii „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” din Craiova: Palatul de Justiție

Author(s): Mircea Georgescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2023

The construction of the Palace of Justice in Craiova is part of the architectural renewal process that encompassed the Romanian urban space in the last decades of the 19th century, a series of public buildings, necessary for institutional modernization, being built throughout the country during this time frame. Although the history of this edifice, symbolical for the architecture of the city, is apparently known, after studying the documents related to the construction of the palace, as well as the newspaper articles in the press of that time, a series of events are revealed, that outline a more complex picture of its evolutionary stages. Moreover, although initially considered one of Ion Socolescu’s works, the building turns out to be, in reality, the work of another architect, less known today, which leads to the need to rewrite some pages in the history of Romanian architecture.This article tries to trace the main stages in the evolution of the design and construction of the Palace of Justice in Craiova, starting with the first architectural designs, which were not materialised by execution, to the last transformations brought to the building, in the 70s of the 20th century, revealing, at the same time, a world of architects and builders divided by rivalries and political favours, especially for the period of Romania’s urban development boom. Finally, we emphasize the importance of the appearance of such an edifice in the city’s landscape, which resulted in the rethinking of the street structure in this area, by the mayors of that time. We also mention the change in the functionality of the building brought about by the communist power installed in Romania after 1947, as part of a process of erasing the local memory and creating, at the same time, a new symbolism for the old heritage of Craiova

Studiu istoric al unei case urbane stil „Arta 1900”

Author(s): Andreea-Brândușa Bungărdean / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2023

This paper aims to answer a series of questions resulting from the presence of incomplete and superficial documentation gathered over time in the context of rehabilitation and restoration of historic houses in Turda, some of which are classified as monuments. Therefore, the following questions are considered: What is the value of a historical study in the context of an intervention? What is the structure of a historical study of a building? Who is in a position to carry out such a study and to impose permissions and restrictions? How can the research results be used? Does the history of one building illustrate wider policies of the Austro-Hungarian authorities to urbanise and modernise smaller towns in the realm? Although, this study is dedicated to a single building, located in the historical centre of the town, its detailed study and the reconstruction of its historical and architectural path can provide clues concerning the implementation of urban policies of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in provincial context. The building was classified as a historical monument, but its aspect today reflects its complicated history and the many unfortunate and misguided interventions it has undergone. It has also been neglected by existing research, and thus, its position within the „Art 1900” [Art Nouveau] has not been explored. Consequently, the present research attempts to make the most of the data recorded sporadically in various sources covering the history of Turda. On the other hand, the lack of conservation strategies for this type of heritage, reflected in a coherent legislative framework, has led until recently to a lax and confusing approach at the local administration level as well, as evidenced by the series of renovations and rehabilitation inappropriate to the original style, carried out by the local authority, owners or tenants over time. Good documentation forwarded to the authorities and current owners can, therefore, help these buildings and act as a method of educating the public, guiding the value, functionality, and capacity of heritage to create more value for local communities.

Probleme privind protejarea patrimoniului cultural imobil în legislația de specialitate și documentațiile de urbanism

Author(s): Ioana Maria Petrescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2023

Built cultural heritage protection is ensured by two types of legal tools: legislation that rules the field of historic monuments and urban planning laws and regulations. However, in practice, the efficiency of these instruments is sometimes questionable. At a closer look, the cultural heritage and urban planning policies contain contradictions and discontinuities caused by legislation gaps and overlaps. The lack of accuracy distorts the sense of the legal stipulations, thus leading to serious heritage preservation issues. In order to guarantee the protection of historic monuments and their buffer zones, as well as the preservation of other protected areas and the valorization of their assets, urban planning and cultural heritage preservation legislation establish that urban planning documents should contain information and specific regulations for them. In practice, one can notice that this fundamental principle is sometimes treated in an unsatisfying manner. The improper interpretation of the legislation and official documents represents a real menace to the cultural identity of our environment and could cause severe damages to our common inheritance.

“Great Vladivostok”: Process and Results

Author(s): Mariia Surzhik,Alexander Kim,Aleksandra Motorina,Gulnara Assemkulova,Madina Kuanyshbekova / Language(s): English Issue: 31/2023

The “Great Vladivostok” project of the Khrushchev period is relatively little known in the history of the USSR due to political reasons. It was not only a part of Khrushchev’s great construction reform in the country but also an attempt to consolidate the influence of the Soviet Union in Eastern Asia, create a new type of port, and settle the territory of the south of the Far East with immigrants from the western part of the country. In addition, the project had several features that both Soviet and foreign scholars ignored. The authors use archival materials, oral history, and the works of researchers, including unpublished ones, in this article. The work aims to describe the realisation of the project, and its main ideas, to analyse its successes and failures.

L’espace public à Alger : le désintérêt privé (beylick) comme produit du contrôle public

Author(s): Tarek Medjadj,Guy Baudelle / Language(s): French Issue: 31/2023

Public spaces in Algeria are characterized by the strong lack of interest among people who rely entirely on public authority. Not any tendency here to make of it a common good. The purpose of the paper is to exhibit the extent of popular indifference from in situ observations in Algiers and to explain this attitude through historical analysis. Indeed, the collective imaginary and practices have not always been insensitive to public spaces. On the contrary, in traditional rural society, public spaces were perceived as a continuity of domestic space. The peasant was obliged to take charge of its maintenance as well as for his home, his intimate space.To understand the later behavioural evolution, we must refer to the Ottoman and colonial domination processes. Each period had its own way of considering public spaces, but the urban management systems have always been based on a discrimination policy against natives and a strict control of the public spaces to the point of making them appear as the State property in the collective mentality. This perception of a grabbing of public spaces by the Turkish governor (Beylik) and later by the French colonial administration (for security reasons) has led amongst city dwellers to a feeling of exclusion and a disaffection that still characterize their attitude today.
