300 DE ANI DE LA NAȘTEREA BARONULUI SAMUEL VON BRUKENTHAL (26 IULIE 1721 - 9 APRILIE 1803)

Author(s): Gudrun-Liane Ittu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2021

Three Centuries Since Baron Samuel von Brukenthal was Born (26th of July 1721 - 9th of April 1803). Baron Samuel von Brukenthal was an outstanding personality, a man of great erudition and refined taste, whose political career culminated with the dignity of Governor of Transylvania, a dignity he held between 1777 and 1787. Brukenthal was the only Transylvanian Saxon who enjoyed this great honor. Living for many years abroad, he got acquainted with Viennese cultural patterns he tried to implement in his own country. As a Transylvanian representative of the Enlightenment, Brukenthal became famous through his major creation, the first museum in the South Eastern part of Europe opened in 1790 to connoisseurs and foreign travelers and in 1817 to the large public. His fine art collection comprised about 1100 paintings belonging to the major European art schools. Besides paintings he also had a rich collection of etchings in copper, a library consisting of about 16000 volumes, rare archeological objects, as well as a numismatic collection and one of minerals. But his sphere of interest was much wider, including a large scale of sciences, the educational system, the musical life of Sibiu, the art of gardening.

3D Modeling Techniques for the Restoration and Conservation of Historical Buildings

Author(s): Cătălin Constantin Ceaușu,Alexandra Dreghici / Language(s): English Issue: 29/2020

In the restoration and conservation of historic buildings and monuments, for verification and repairs of any kind, accurate information on shape, size and architectural details are of utmost importance. The field of photogrammetry plays an important role in this process, through the possibilities of 3D modeling and representation of historical buildings and monuments. At present, there are a series of photogrammetric software with expertise in image processing algorithms, with digital photogrammetric techniques that establish the direction of development of the applied instruments. The process of photogrammetric modeling uses terrestrial and aerial images of the building attached to the solid model, obtaining a 3D realistic model. This is easily visualized, analyzed and modified by users, even in other fields, such as architecture or history. The advantage of the “multi-view 3D reconstruction technology” is the possibility to use images no matter the shooting distance, as long as each two images contain common points.

60 GODINA MUZEJA (GRADA) SARAJEVA

Author(s): Amra Madžarević / Language(s): Bosnian,English Issue: 7/2010

Sarajevo is a city with a turbulent, rich history; a city through which various civilizations have passed and left their mark, a meeting place of East and West, a city ravaged by three wars in a hundred years, a city in which churches, mosques and synagogues stand side by side, a city that has endured the longest siege in history, and an Olympic city.

A casting mould of a pilgrim flask with the depiction of St. Symeon Stylites the Younger

Author(s): Maurizio Buora,Ergün Lafli / Language(s): English Issue: 30/2020

In this short paper a formerly unpublished casting valve for a metal eulogy ampulla from the museum of Gaziantep in southern Turkey will be presented. This casting mould by soap stone has an inscription as Eὐλογία [Κ]υρίου καίτοῦΑγίου [θαυματουρ]γού (eulogia of the Lord and saintly thaumaturgist- a performer of miracles). It also bears the depiction of St. Symeon Stylites the Younger from the sixth century A.D. and two knights riding mounts in a heraldic position on below. The mould at Gaziantep can be dated to the middle Byzantine period, more precisely to the period between A.D. 969 and 1074. For its size and the unusual scene of the two pilgrims (?) on horseback our matrix appears to be a unique one.

A COPPER COIN OF THE ARTUQID RULER NAJM AL-DIN ALPI WITH SIX COUNTERMARKS

Author(s): Wolfgang Schulze / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2020

Scope of the study. A specific series of copper coins of the Artuqid rulers Hussam alDin Timurtash and his son Najm al-Din Alpi were extensively countermarked during the twelfth century. The scientific novelty The author discusses this system of countermarking and presents a countermark naming Najm al-Din Alpi, which was applied six times on his own coins. The Artuqids were a Turkmen dynasty that ruled in Eastern Anatolia, Northern Syria and Northern Iraq in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. On Il-Ghazi’s death in 516 (1122) his kingdom was divided among three heirs, with Timurtash retaining Mardin. He was succeeded by his only son Najm al-Din Alpi in 547 (1152), and the Artuqid kingdom of Mardin became the largest and most enduring, lasting until 812 (1409), when it was seized by Timur (Tamerlane) and later controlled by the Qara Qoyunlu (‘Black Sheep’) Turkmen. The description of the ‘copper dirhams’ of Husam al-Din Timurtash and Najm al-Din Alpi are given. One of the well-known problems in the series of the Artuqids of Mardin is the countermarking of the copper dirhams of Husam al-Din Timurtash and his son Najm al-Din Alpi. During the early part of the reign of Najm al-Din Alpi, the coins of his father continued to circulate. However, they were soon countermarked by Alpi, evidently to avoid confusion. We know of two countermarks, with ‘one line’ or with ‘two lines’ randomly applied on the obverses of Timurtash’s dirhams, sometimes both on the same coin. Alpi’s countermarks on the Timurtash coins could have been used to avoid confusion between the coins of father and son. The reasons of the appearance of the countermarks are described. Double countermarking did not necessarily occur simultaneously. Apparently, Alpi used the countermarks extensively to differentiate himself from his father and to achieve the greatest possible popularity through the medium of coin. This is also shown by the fact that the old Byzantine coins circulating in Alpi’s dominions were countermarked with his laqab ‘najm’.

A LO CUBANO: UTOWAROWIENIE TAŃCA I REPREZENTACJE KUBAŃSKOŚCI W KONTEKŚCIE TURYSTYKI KULTUROWEJ

Author(s): Ruxandra Ana / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The article looks at the intangible cultural heritage and its importance as a resource that creates economic revenue in the context of rapid transformations currently taking place in Cuba, and integrated in a complex network of tourism imaginaries and representations. Given the increased demand for “experiential tourism” (Salazar 2011), dance practices become central not only to institutions in charge of safeguarding and promoting heritage, but also to emerging small businesses as alternative forms of revenue outside the state sector. Dance schools aimed at foreign tourists, and the increased popularity of Cuban dance genres outside Cuba, indicate how parts of the tourist imaginary are adopted and adapted in Cuban narratives about Cubanness, and how bodies become transactional in more than one way. Economic realities and social inequalities that stem from contact with foreigners result in creative approaches for financial gain, perpetuating expectations about Cuban fantasies. The phenomenon is often racially marked, as many of the darker skinned Cubans, with no access to legal jobs in the tourist industry, seem to be capable of exploiting the appearance of ‘authenticity’ in dance spaces commonly associated with blackness. The article is based on the findings of long term fieldwork conducted in Havana in 2015 and 2016 and from March to May 2018 among professional dancers, instructors and dance school owners.

A Registry for Movable Cultural Property of Significant Importance to Switzerland: Limit to the Cross-Border Movement and Right of Ownership

Author(s): Carine Simoes / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Switzerland now has a federal registry of its movable cultural property of significant importance. This measure is based on the national legislation implementing the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. Only Swiss cultural property or property with a close link to Switzerland is targeted. The registry includes, inter alia, archaeological objects, sculptures by Alberto Giacometti, paintings by Ferdinand Hodler, and also a correspondence by Albert Einstein from the period when he lived in Berne and discovered the theory of relativity. The inclusion of cultural property in the federal registry has two major effects: it restricts both cross-border movement and property rights. On one hand, the permanent export of a listed cultural property is prohibited. Although a temporary export may be authorized for research, conservation, or exhibition purposes. On the other hand, registered cultural property becomes res extra commercium: acquisitive prescription, even in good faith, does not apply. As a result, registered cultural property benefits from enhanced protection against permanent loss due to theft and illicit export.

A Roman cameo with the representation of Gorgo Medusa from the collection of Botosani County Museum

Author(s): Ana Cristina Hamat,Adela Kovács / Language(s): English Issue: 30/2020

The current article brings back into discussion a special artifact discovered over 25 years ago and currently located in the deposits of the Botoșani County Museum. It is a cameo with the representation of Gorgo Medusa, which so far has not benefited from an adequate presentation, being brought to the attention of the general public through a short note in a local publication. The cameo was discovered in 1994 (Pl. II, Fig. 1, 2), with the occasion of archaeological research carried out in the village of Coțușca (Botoșani County). It appeared in a survey conducted 1 km away from the necropolis of the 4th -5 th centuries from Nichiteni. The item is a cameo made of onyx in two layers, being dated in II-III centuries AD. The depiction of Gorgo Medusa on cameos is one of the most popular subjects for such artifacts and therefore it became the pretext for one of the most famous glyphic series, with a popularity that predates the Empire era and lasts until late Antiquity, being also, one of the favorite symbols in the art of the Middle Ages and even in the modern times.

A Systematisation of Transcriptions of Early Olonkho Recordings According to Plot Peculiarity

Author(s): Antonina Fedorovna Koryakina / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The article presents the results of textual studies of the early recordings of the Yakut heroic epic Olonkho, recorded from the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that scientific research of the texts of the early recordings of Olonkho with full broadcasts of the plot is most widely, systematically carried out. At the same time, researchers today continue to pay less attention to early recordings of Olonkho, producing brief or incomplete schematic statements of content. A review of early texts on Olonkho shows that these reviews have incomplete, overly concise, summaries of the plot, although they do confirm the stability of the ancient thematic content, plot structure, motifs, and image system. The richness of the poetic language and the beauty of the style, and the surprisingly artistic content and archaic motifs, which can be seen even in translations, are of considerable value for establishing a full picture of the unique oral creativity of the Yakut people. This study attempts for the first time to systematise transcriptions of early recordings of Olonkho using a summary of the plot in Russian compared with a summary of the plot in the original language. The systematised texts will be used in a comparative study of Olonkho texts recorded in the 19th and 20th centuries. This analysis shows that there has been a transfer of plot with epic texts of the late period in order to maintain a degree of continuity, using both common and specific features to bridge between traditional and modern forms of Olonkho, taking into account regional and local features.

A young audience’s expectations of a contemporary museum of art

Author(s): Przemysław Kisiel / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

The aim of the article is a sociological analysis of the way young visitors (post-millennials) perceive art museums in the context of their expectations in a mobile communications era. This problem is very interesting because young visitors, members of the post-millennial generation, participate in social and cultural life in a quite different way than previous generations. This problem is also very important because just post-millennials will decide the fate of this kind of institution in the not too distant future. The analysis of the perception of museum institutions is based on the results of an empirical study carried out among high school students (16–20 years old). The main areas of interest in this study were their preferences in the style of visiting museum exhibitions, their opinions about the exhibition being visited, and their expectations regarding changes in the formula of presenting art in the museum space.

ABORDAREA CONCEPTUALÃ INTEGRATÃ A PATRIMONIULUI NATURAL ŞI CULTURAL ÎN CONVENŢII INTERNAŢIONALE

Author(s): Alexandru-Ionuţ Petrişor / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2010

În anul 1987 dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, Preşedinte al Comisiei Internaţionale pentru Mediu şi Dezvoltare şi prim ministru al Norvegiei, semneazã un raport intitulat „Viitorul nostru comun”, în care defineşte dezvoltarea durabilã ca „dezvoltarea care permite societãţii umane de a asigura satisfacerea necesitãţilor prezente fãrã a compromite abilitatea generaţiilor viitoare de a-şi satisface propriile necesitãţi în acelaşi mod” (Brundtland, 1987). Cheia înţelegerii acestui concept este reprezentatã de „pilonii economici, sociali şi ecologici ai dezvoltãrii durabile, şi cum sunt aceştia conectaţi în mod intrinsec” (Buge şi Watters, 2003). Altfel spus, dezvoltarea durabilã se bazeazã pe perceperea „mediul înconjurãtor”, care include deopotrivã mediul fizic şi biologic natural, precum şi mediul transformat de cãtre specia umanã ca o ierarhie de sisteme socio-ecologice cuplate (Vãdineanu, 2004) sau, din perspectiva economiei (BSRIA, 1996), ca pe un tot unitar format din patru tipuri de capital: natural (bunuri şi servicii de mediu, inclusiv biodiversitatea şi culoarele ecologice), produs de om (clãdirile, utilajele şi infrastructura aferentã), uman (cunoştinţele şi abilitãţile practice ale populaţiei umane) şi social (relaţiile juridice şi socio-economice care dau coeziune şi stabilitate societãţii omeneşti). La cele patru tipuri, summitul de la Oagadougou (Burkina Faso, 2004) a adãugat o componentã culturalã, diversitatea culturalã fiind un factor de creştere economicã, iar patrimoniul cultural, un vector al dezvoltãrii durabile (CCPEC, 2006).

Author(s): Marius George Cosarca / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The need to acquire books has always been an unquenchable thirst for all intellectuals because through books they gain elevated knowledge. Thus, books represent a multidisciplinary treasure of the vast history of knowledge. The acquisition and collection of old Romanian books have their own history, were first printed within the Church and were exclusively intended for the wealthy and educated people. Over time, a growing number of book enthusiasts were collecting old prints, spreading further cultural values and tradition. The objective of this study is to present the way in which the purchase of books for the antique shops in Romania, especially in Bucharest, was carried out. This study reveals the essential role antiquarians and book collectors have in the acquisition of old Romanian book.

Acquaintance of Western and Eastern European Countries with the Culture of the Ancient Chinese Musical Tradition through Museum Exhibitions

Author(s): Haoxuan Yang / Language(s): English Issue: 110/2022

When considering the possibilities of establishing musical traditions, the main attention is paid to the structural understanding of the activities of art critics, who can fully distinguish national musical motives. They, in turn, can identify musical tendencies and guide the development of musical styles not only using national motives, but also represent the methods and forms of keeping the musical heritage. In terms of the novelty of the study, it is worth noting that a significant number of national musical styles are based primarily on the fact that each decision must be documented. In this regard, the authors see the use of forms of museum exhibitions. The paper presents strategies for the musical heritage establishment, which is proposed when comparing the Chinese style and the styles of Eastern European countries during the period from the beginning of the nation-building. The authors note that such comparison is allowed provided that each of the styles of music is documented according to the rules for storing museum complexes. The practical significance of the study is determined by the forms of preservation and the possibility of comparative research during the formation of a globalised musical culture. It is proposed to use regional forms of musical style direction.
