PREŠOVSKÉ DIVADELNÉ TOPOSY V ZRKADLE ČASU (DIALOG S KNIHOU PETRA HIMIČA)

Author(s): Tibor Ferko / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 01/2015

Knowledgeable about a broader theatre context, the author of this paper interprets the text of Peter Himič’s book Divadelný život Prešova. Od počiatkov do polovice 20. storočia [The Theatre Life of Prešov. From the Beginnings to the Mid-Twentieth Century]. Despite the fact that the author’s comments are rather reflexive and fragmentary in nature, he attempts to capture the dominant features of theatre life in the given coordinates. Examining artistic and non-artistic determinants, he focuses on the main movements in the town’s theatre life. Until the first professional theatre company was founded, the theatre life had been in the hands of amateur actors and their troupes (for example, Jednota Orla, the local subsidiary of Matica slovenská, a theatre of company sergeants major stationed in Prešov). At the time of the wartime Slovak state, the Záborský theatre ensemble dominated the struggle for a permanent stage. The tumult of war times and post-war changes also marked the beginnings of professional theatre in Prešov. A fully professional theatre was finally established in 1950. The author concludes his research with looking into the theatre seasons until 1955.

ROMÉO ET JULIETTE: PREMIÉRA FRANCÚZSKEJ OPERY V SLOVENSKOM NÁRODNOM DIVADLE

Author(s): Anna A. Hlaváčová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 02/2015

Skladateľ Charles Gounod pracoval s libretom, ktoré vzniklo na základe prekladu Shakespearovej tragédie Victorom Hugom. Prispôsobenie činoherného diela opernému žánru umožňuje sledovať dômyselnú prestavbu dramatickej architektúry. V priebehu adaptácie sa uskutočnili procesy, ktoré možno považovať za zákonité: Libreto prináša textové redukcie, aby uvoľnilo priestor hudobnému vyjadreniu. Výrazne redukované sú odchody z javiska a odstránená je i pestrosť lokalizácií jednotlivých výstupov. K uvedeným posunom treba pridať originálne Gounodove riešenia, ktoré možno vyabstrahovať v porovnaní so Shakespearovou drámou: V činohre je veľa mimojaviskového diania, ktoré stimuluje jazykové napätie a prináša nutnosť verbálnej informácie. Opera, naopak, akcentuje celok, vnára dej do chóru.

ŠTYLISTIKA POREVOLUČNÉHO SLOVENSKÉHO ANIMOVANÉHO FILMU

Author(s): Eva Šošková–Perďochová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 03/2015

This study brings two kinds of findings – methodological and aesthetic. It presents the results of applying a neoformalist approach to the examination of animated films by means of protocol analysis and the characteristics of films by three generations of Slovak animators who made their authorial animated films after 1989. The research focuses almost exclusively on the analysis of the stylistic features of selected films.

OBRAZ GEOGRAFICKO-HISTORICKÉHO POVEDOMIA V SLOVENSKÝCH KINOFILMOCH O OBDOBÍ 1938 – 1945

Author(s): Eva Vžentekova / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 03/2015

This text is a chapter from a more extensive work about the portrayal or narrative of the Slovak State as it was presented by domestic feature films. Despite the fact that a portrayal of the past was almost impossible due to ideological restrictions, several films attempted a more realistic portrayal of the war situation which, however, did not concern the past’s look at its past or geographical-historical awareness. The considerable absence of historical and geopolitical context in the films under survey might have been related not only to the regime under which they were made, but also to authors’ self-censorship, which restricted the opening of real historical and geostrategic links. This text presents fragmentary or hidden motifs of the wider and deeper historical and political ties of the then past as they were portrayed in some films (especially in Private War [Súkromná vojna] and Path Across the Danube [Chodník cez Dunaj]). These are put in contrast with ideologically limited portrayals of the period’s historical one-dimensionality.

MARGINÁLNE O FESTIVALE NOVÁ DRÁMA 2015

Author(s): Miroslav Balay / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 04/2015

The paper is a marginal reflexive probe into this year’s New Drama Festival (10 – 15 May 2015 in Bratislava). This festival has a unique focus on contemporary texts of the so-called new drama (of Slovak and foreign provenience). The author deals with several selected productions, thinking about their themes and unusual expression, or innovative communicativeness. He states that this year’s 11th year of the New Drama Festival was mainly a platform of new communication of theatre in the universal sense and not only a traditional, recapitulating show.

SLOVAK TELEVISION FILM AFTER 1989: BETWEEN SOCIAL DRAMA AND POPULAR GENRES

Author(s): Jana Dudková / Language(s): English Issue: Special/2015

The paper deals with the dominant genre of Slovak live action television film after 1989, a psychological family or relationship drama, and puts it in the context of isolationism of contemporary Slovak cinema while at the same time comparing it with later processes of pluralisation of Slovak television film that appeared in line with the first Contract with the State (valid from 2010). It also compares development of live-action television and cinematic film and shows how television production often signalled some major changes in Slovak cinema but also featured remarkable differences between seemingly common genre structures.

SOCIÁLNE A POLITICKÉ ASPEKTY MÝTU O FAIDRE A HIPPOLYTOVI

Author(s): Marcel Koman / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 02/2016

This study analyzes the myth of Phaedra and Hippolytus from a social and political point of view. After a general introduction and an outline of the methodology applied in the study, different versions of the myth are presented. The first part deals with ancient Greek and Roman dramas – Hippolytus by Euripides and Phaedra by Seneca. The author then turn his attention to some French titles: Phaedra by Jean Racine and Émile Zola’s novel The Kill. The final part compares Per Olov Enquist’s postmodern drama For Phaedra and Sarah Kane’s Phaedra’s Love. Besides interpreting and comparing these texts, the author also explores the evolution and the characters of the myth.

Mockumentality: From hyperfaces to deepfakes

Author(s): Pietro Conte / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2019

Hyperrealistic replicas of the human face owe their documentary value to the belief that they result from mechanical reproduction. The idea that a picture is automatically produced through a process of imprint taking is often enough to convince the viewer of its truthfulness and reliability, thus contributing to giving images an aura of authenticity and to creating the myth of pure objectivity. But what happens when the link between hyperrealism, mechanicalness, and truthfulness is disentangled? In 2017, French artist Raphaël Fabre successfully applied for an ID card using a computer-generated picture where the real face was, in fact, an artificial, synthetic mask. Starting from this case study, the essay tackles the issue of the increasing overlapping of actual reality and digital (un)reality, particularly focusing on the concerns raised by the confusion between faces and masks caused by the rapid spread of so-called deepfakes in a world that speeds from documentality towards what I propose to call mockumentality.

Blurred boundaries: Francis Bacon’s portraits

Author(s): Timea Andrea Lelik / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2019

In his oeuvre Francis Bacon hints at the fact that portraiture sacrifices the subject for the sake of representation. For this reason, portraiture as a genre needs to re-determine the conditions that originally shaped it. Through an analysis of the manner in which Bacon depicts his subjects I will argue that his portraits blur the boundaries between object and subject, portrait and viewer, in order to remodel conventional notions of portraiture. Through Gilles Deleuze’s theory on Francis Bacon, I will reinterpret Bacon’s works through the prism of Buddhism, arguing that understanding the works through Buddhist practices opens the possibility of a complete transformation of preexisting concepts which traditionally shaped portrait making.

Media Convergence: Websites of Radio Stations in the Republic of Croatia

Author(s): Marina Mučalo,Anita Šulentić / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2023

The digitization process alters the media landscapes in all developed European countries. This study presents the results of research that was conducted on the sample of active websites of all radio stations based in Croatia. All active websites (n=157) were mapped on the basis of a matrix that included news, communication, and advertising content as well as indicators of media convergence. The results show a marked unevenness in terms of individual websites’ offer, especially in the category of news content. What all sites have in common is a strong reliance on programmes previously broadcast. Reasons for this neglect are lack of money and lack of staff trained to work in a digital environment. Websites are not understood as a step towards a converged media environment, nor is there a clear awareness of their role in the strategic development of the medium of radio in the 21st century.

Přistoupit k dějinám divadelní kultury jinak?

Author(s): Otto Drexler / Language(s): Czech Issue: 04/2023

Cílem studie je reflektovat současnou pozici české divadelní historiografie v kontextu kulturního obratu v humanitních vědách a klást si následující otázky: Čím pohyb v zahraniční divadelní historiografii může inspirovat při koncipování nových historiografických výkladů? Jaké metody využívat při zkoumání historických jevů? Do kterých tematických a teritoriálních rámců vplétat historická pojednání? Jak reflektovat dynamiku historické paměti, kulturu vzpomínání či cíleného zapomínání? A pomohla by změna slovníku? Studie naznačuje inherentní střetávání mezi periferním postavením teatrologa hájícího autonomii a svébytnost oboru, průběžně stimulovaného vnějšími podněty, a badatele přirozeně se orientujícího v interdisciplinárním prostředí, který divadelní kulturu chápe především v relaci společenského dění.

Ofícium za zosnulých v kartuziánskej tradícii moravských rukopisov

Author(s): Zuzana Badárová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2024

Medieval liturgical sources from various monastic communities are an important testimony to the monastic musical culture of the area. Musical prayer formed an essential part of the monk’s daily life. In addition to the Mass liturgy, which is also encountered in diocesan settings, the liturgy of the hours, which was celebrated essentially in the form of chant, determined the basic structure of the day for each member of the order. The aim of this study is to investigate the medieval liturgical chants of the Office for the Dead in Carthusian manuscripts from the territory of Moravia. Attention will be paid to selected chants of the Matins from these codices, primarily its responsories. These chants represent a specific, Carthusian liturgical tradition, which has been documented in its stable structure since the foundation of the Carthusian Order.

Missale Notatum Strigoniense a bratislavské omšové knihy

Author(s): Andrea Kovács / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2024

One of the most outstanding, most representative liturgical codices of the Hungarian Middle Ages is the Missale Notatum Strigoniense, copied before 1341. The summary of the material of the Mass rite of Esztergom and the general formulation of the rubrics give the impression that the manuscript was intended as a normative book, expected to be copied. Shortly after its completion, probably yet in the 14th century, the manuscript was relocated from Esztergom to Bratislava. Therefore, it seems obvious that we are looking for its copies among the so-called Missals of Bratislava kept in Budapest since the beginning of the 19th century. The relationship between the Missale Notatum Strigoniense and the Bratislava Missals could be best illustrated by concentric circles. To the closest to the Missale Notatum is the “H” Missal, which can be considered its direct duplication. In the innermost circle, but somewhat further away from it is the “A” Missal, which used the Missale Notatum probably as a model, significantly reducing, but not modifying its content. Codex “C” was copied probably from one of the two duplications. Manuscripts “B” and “D” are farther from the center, in the second circle. These associate the Temporale of Esztergom with a mixed Sanctorale. The Missals belonging to the outermost circle – “E”, “F”, “G” – follow the central tradition less, by preserving its most important elements only.

Úvahy o „border crossing“. Shirley: Visions of Reality ako filmová remediácia výtvarného obrazu

Author(s): Katarína Jankechová,Michaela Malíčková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 02/2024

The authors reflect on the phenomenon of border crossing in intermedia theories. At the same time, they test a possible form of its functioning in a concrete situation, in the Austrian director Gustav Deutsch’s film Shirley: Visions of Reality (2013), which provides ideal scope for the interpretive exploration of the relationships between several types of media by the re-mediation of some of the artworks of the American painter Edward Hopper. The film stages the situations depicted in some of Hopper’s paintings that evoke a suspended camera shot of a staged theatrical situation. The intermedia references of the scenes offer an opportunity to ponder not only the questions of how visual codes remain present in the film, to what extent the authorial poetics of the original paintings is respected, and to what extent the language of the film transforms the dispositions of the language of fine art, but also open up debates about intermedia relations and interdisciplinary overlaps in the broader contexts of visual culture. The authors carry out this cautious probe into the already extensive and diverse space of intermedia theories predominantly through the German theorist Irina O. Rajewsky (Intermedialität, 2002), who was among the first to process the phenomenon of border crossing within the framework of a fundamental and, up to that time, most systematic review of intermediality (as a term, theoretical concept, artistic strategy, and methodology in humanities) against the backdrop of intertextuality and historically related concepts.

“ALERT FOR THE NEIGHBOURS”: NEGOTIATING MUSLIM (NON-)REPRESENTATIONS IN AN EAST GERMAN CITY

Author(s): Katrin Schade,Josca Levert,Ulrike Rebettge,Janne Bergmann,Lisa Röder,Marlene Scherer / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

When it comes to Muslim representational practices in European cities, fears, criticism, and scepticism emerge in the public discourse. The aim of this paper is to investigate how Muslim places of prayer are negotiated. By means of a multi-method approach, we investigate how Muslim places of prayer in Leipzig become visible. We further question the media’s role in local negotiation processes. The analysis shows that the diverse Muslim places of prayer rather resemble ‘backyard mosques’ due to financial and structural hurdles as well as conflict avoidance. However, some interviewees explain their satisfaction with the places of prayer, which are places of migration and thus social networks, especially for the first generation. Due to its East German past, Leipzig is experiencing a partly catch-up debate regarding the arrival of Islam through migration. But, religion as culture is giving-way to individual local practices of representation of diverse Muslim people that could be picked up more strongly by the media.

O franciszkańskiej historii koszalińskich kościołów w latach 1945–1974

Author(s): Krystyna Bastowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 12/2024

At the beginning of 1945, there were 10 temples belonging to various denominations in Koszalin, including one Catholic church. Saint Joseph. All temples survived the war conflagration. The first Franciscan, Father Nikodem Szałankiewicz, arrived in ruined Koszalin on May 26, 1945, together with a group of 450 settlers from Gniezno, occupying the church dedicated to the Saint Joseph without any obstacles, and from June 17, 1945 also the parish church. Parish of St. Joseph initially included over 20 branch churches. In 1946, the parish of St. Joseph was handed over to Lutherhaus. All efforts to acquire the castle church and other churches in Koszalin and the Koszalin district were rejected by the state authorities. In addition to building religious life and pastoral service from scratch, the Franciscans had been renovating and taking care of historic churches and their furnishings for nearly 30 years, without being able to obtain financial assistance and struggling with many difficulties from the authorities. The wide-ranging and innovative work carried out at the parish church was a response to the needs of the time and an image of the emerging conservation doctrines. Passing on to future generations the historic legacy in the form of 10 former Catholic churches and 78 Protestant congregations from the city of Koszalin and the Koszalin district is an unquestionable merit and achievement, achieved in times that were unfavorable and unfavorable to religious monuments. After the Koszalin-Kolobrzeg (Kołobrzeg) Diocese was established on June 28, 1978, the Koszalin parish church became an episcopal cathedral. On July 2, 1974, the Franciscans handed over the cathedral to the diocesan priests and on July 3, 1974, they began serving in the church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, which they expanded in the years 1976–1983 and where they serve to this day.

Twórczość muzyczna Arvo Pärta w świetle teologii muzyki Josepha Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI

Author(s): Ksawery Kalicki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 12/2024

The article attempts to analyze the essential features of Arvo Pärt’s music (aesthetic asceticism, primacy of the word, universal dimension) in terms of compatibility with the criteria of sacredness of music postulated by Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI (reference to the word, integration of the senses and spirit, cosmic character). The author shows that the Estonian music, at least at the level of ideological assumptions, meets these criteria.
