Author(s): Iva Doseva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

For the first time capitals of the Episcopal Basileca of Philippopolis, samples of the and impost the ionic impost type – Byzantine inventions designed to carry arcades – are being published. Some of the specimens testify to a large-scale reconstruction of the roof structure of the basilica a in time the reign of Justinian I. The capitals were probably originated from the imperial quarries and workshops on the island of Proconnesоs, but jugging by some marked but not sufficiently shaped details of the relief decoration as well as by specific decorative schemes of pulvinae, at least the final phase had to be executed on site. The unfinished Ionic capital made of syenite, the material extracted close to Philippopolis during the Roman period is evidence of continuing, albeit limited, stonemasonry activity.

The Mind Is the World: Virginia Woolf on the Embodied Self

Author(s): Leonor Serrano / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2020

Drawing on Jean-Luc Nancy’s insights into bodies as the place of existence, David Abram’s thinking on the more-than-human world, Jane Bennett’s conceptualisation of vibrant matter and Stacy Alaimo’s notion of “transcorporeality,” this article explores how Virginia Woolf transforms ction into a powerful epistemological tool in her examination of the self amidst a vibrant world. In novels like Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and The Waves (1931), Woolf found not only that human beings are nite, singular and exposed, but also porous, embodied selves that are sensuously immersed in the vitality intrinsic to matter. Fasci- nated by the ow of consciousness and the workings of the human mind when confronted with reality, the novelist seeks to capture the evanescent moment in time as refracted through the consciousness of her own characters. Her compulsion to write down impressions, thoughts, and half-ideas is expressive of her concern with imposing order upon the phenomena of a world populated by agentive entities through the medium of language. If the ux of life was simply unstoppable, language gave her at least the opportunity to freeze moments of being and look at them as if from simultaneous perspectives, as well as to shed light on how humans are in and of the earth – i.e., part of, not apart from, a more-than-human world.

«Местные алтари» — уникальное явление греко-католической Церкви Беларуси (конец XVII – начало XIX в.)

Author(s): Halina Aljaksandrawna Flikop-Svita / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2 (28)/2020

The article discusses the unique cultural and religious phenomenon which was formed and existed for about a century and a half in the Greek Catholic (Uniate) Church of the Rzeczpospolita — altars, included in the iconostasis. To denote these sacred objects in the Uniate records of the 18th century, as it became known from numerous researched historical documents, the Polish-language term «ołtarze namiesne» («local altars») was used. «Local altars» was created with the setting of the throne to the icons of the local (lower) rank of the iconostasis — hence the name. Their occurrence is related to the adoption of Uniate religious practices, which was originally preserved in the Eastern Christian rites, the Western-Christian traditions. «Local altars» is an alternative to the traditional Catholicism of the side wall of the altars. In liturgical practice they were used with the same purpose — they can serve custom-made mass, but in manufacturing it was more simple and budget method: it was necessary only to put the throne to the iconostasis under the local icon. With time, formed a way of creating iconostases originally included in them aedicules — architecturally designed niches for local icons, which visually resembled the traditional architectural retablo altars. With the abolition of the Uniate Church in 1839 temples were converted to Orthodoxy, and all attributes of Catholicism were dismantled. Up to the present time on the territory of Belarus has no surviving full «local altar» with the throne. The study was conducted on the basis of historical documents of the late 17th – early 19th centuries with descriptions of nearly two thousand parish, branch, monastery and Cathedral Greek-Catholic churches in Belarus. It was found that by 1676 the practice of using «local altars» already existed, as evidenced by the revealed date of creation of the only preserved in Belarus, Uniate iconostasis with aedicules from the Church of Assumption monastery in Zhirovichi village, Slonim district of Grodno region. Thus, the «local altars» to the last quarter of the 17th century became the Uniate practice, where it was used until the early 19th century. Due to the complete loss of the artifacts to date, this sacred phenomenon in the Greek-Catholic churches in Belarus was not known.

Chromophilic Annihilation: Posthuman Prisms and New Materialist Refractions of Reality

Author(s): Mashya Boon / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

While the film’s title might suggest otherwise, Annihilation (Garland, 2018) is not about the nullification of existence. Rather, it deals with a refractory re-creation of reality, in which colour plays a pivotal part. The manner in which this film creates a novel kind of being (not only) human presents rich avenues for exploring how colour is deployed in imagining ‘the posthuman.’ Annihilation’s iridescent ‘Shimmer’ envisions a life-altering alien force which seems to devour the world as we know it. This article analyses how Annihilation’s hallucinatory, weird colour-scapes conceptualise a posthuman state of existence which relentlessly refracts each and every aspect of life, calling into question what it means to be human or nonhuman, animate or inanimate, dead or alive. In investigating how Annihilation’s peculiar use of ‘prismatic’ colour functions within David Batchelor’s concepts of ‘chromophobia/-philia,’ while analysing the film’s chromatic alien refraction in light of the new materialist theories of Karen Barad and Donna Haraway, this article fashions a protraction of the notion of chromophilia in which the ontology of colour itself gains a posthuman connotation. In Batchelor’s argument about chromophobia, colour is delineated as dangerously ‘other,’ and even as alien. This rationale is aligned with the ‘enlightened’ humanist discourse which values shape over colour, integrity over chaos. Yet, it is also intimately connected to its counterpart—chromophilia—a discourse that revels in colour’s refractory qualities and can be linked to the ‘digital.’ To illuminate the thus far unexplored topic of‘ posthuman colour,’ the article argues that Annihilation demonstrates how chromophilia can encompass an inherently posthuman and new materialist ‘essence.’

Заедността, или за феминистките подходи към архитектурата

Author(s): Tatyana Batuleva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2021

The article examines the specific projections that the feminist ideas receive in architecture. Irigaray's concept of the "shared world", Braidotti's materialist theory of becoming, political readings of the ethics of care are creatively developed in the ideas of A. Wheeler, P. Rawes, I. Toscano, S. Torre and others. The conclusion is that these feminist readings are successfully projected into an architectural environment. There are several reasons for this: first, regardless of their heterogeneity, they take as a starting point the difference freed from its negative burden, turn it into a difference-in-itself and make a significant contribution to its theoretical understanding; second, in them the feminine becomes a way to substantiate innovative reflections, the impact of which transcends the boundaries of feminist knowledge and has its projections in various fields, among which architecture has its reserved place. It is in their capacity as philosophies of togetherness that feminist readings of the architecture, in which being-with-the-other plays a leading role, build a new type of connection and become legitimate approaches to the architecture.

Dasein като обитаващо

Author(s): Ivan Kolev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2021

The article is devoted to a phenomenological clarification of the principles of architecture. The author generally follows the logic of the presentation in Vitruvius’s treatise Ten Books on Architecture, but also uses elements of the speculative deduction of architectural elements in Hegel’s Aesthetics. Heidegger’s ontological designation of man as Dasein is interpreted as inhabiting; thus, the author attempts to establish a link between the ontological and the architectonic aspects of human existence.

Suradnja privatne inicijative i resursa sa javnim sektorom u partnerstvu na polju kulture, umjetnosti i obrazovanja u Bosni i Hercegovini

Author(s): Robert Andrejaš,Jerko Glavaš,Sunčica Oberman Peterka / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 16/2020

Bosna i Hercegovina je u tranzicijskim promjenama postala država sa vrlo kompliciranim sustavom kulturnih politika. Odlučivanje u kulturi je podijeljeno, tako da o toj djelatnosti odlučuje čak 13 ministarstava, sa istim tolikim brojem zakona o kulturi. Iz toga podatka bi se moglo pogrešno zaključiti kako kultura igra odlučujuću ulogu u Bosni i Hercegovini, ali se financiranje kulturnih potreba često ostavlja na margini. Nagovještaj promjena je uslijedio izglasavanjem zakona o javno-privatnom partnerstvu, jer se u kulturnom sektoru Bosne i Hercegovine, kao njen najvitalniji dio, nalazi i veliki broj različitih oblika udruga koje već duže vrijeme ispunjavaju prazninu koja je nastala u posttranzicijskom periodu, zahvaljujući tome što veliki broj javnih ustanova zapravo još uvijek djeluje kao u predtranzicijskom društvu. Na žalost, prva, a vjerojatno niti druga generacija tih zakona neće donijeti neke promjene u kulturnom sektoru. U ovome radu se na primjeru jednog živog kazališnog bića promatra djelovanje koje to kazalište ima u dosta velikom dijapazonu djelatnosti u najmnogoljudnijem kantonu/županiji u Bosni i Hercegovini.

Teologiczne typy bizantyjskich ikon maryjnych

Author(s): Dariusz Klejnowski-Różycki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

The Christian East is extremely diverse. Some Churches of the Christian East have developed extensive iconographic art along with the theory of this art, while others have not. The Church of Constantinople developed patterns in the field of iconography, including Marian iconography. Byzantine Marian icons can be divided into four groups: (1) Marian feasts; (2) theological icons; (3) symbolic icons; (4) liturgical icons. A characteristic feature of theological icons is the focus on the close relationship between Mary and Christ (God). These icons include the types: Kyriotissa, Hodegetria, Eleusa, Platytera. These are the most important basic icons of Mary discussed in the article.
