K psaní bez moci. Poznámky k vyprávění šílenství

Author(s): Brendan Stone / Language(s): Czech Issue: 45/2024

Brendan Stone's essay "Towards a Writing without Power: Notes on the Narration of Madness" explores the challenges of narrating mental illness, emphasizing the limitations of traditional narrative forms in capturing the chaotic and often indescribable nature of such experiences. Stone discusses the concept of "writing without power," where the narrative truth of the author takes precedence over objective facts, allowing for a more authentic representation of mental illness. He draws on examples from various memoirs, highlighting the use of metaphor and poetic language to convey the complexities of mental health. The essay also examines the ethical implications of narrating extreme psychological experiences and the potential for storytelling to offer an emancipatory space for those with mental illness. Stone's analysis is situated within broader theoretical frameworks, including trauma studies and disability studies, to understand the interplay between narrative, identity, and mental health. The essay concludes by advocating for a narrative approach that respects the inherent ambiguity and multiplicity of mental illness experiences.

A vallásszabadság ünnepén

Author(s): Lajos Lőrinczi / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2023

To those of you who have come to Torda today, and to those who are celebrating with us in front of the screens, the 455th anniversary of the proclamation of the Law of Religious Freedom. I quoted this poem because I know it evokes memories and feelings in every Unitarian soul as deep-rooted as they are in mine. Let us allow this atmosphere to transport us back to where the idea of religious freedom was raised to the heights of significant ecclesiastical and national events! Let us allow the pride to revive in us that we, the celebrants today, are the descendants of those heroes who, following the teachings of Dávid Ferenc, sought the pure teachings of Jesus and with them served the glory of God and the upliftment of mankind.

Jazz in the Park la Parcul Etnografic sau cum e să faci un festival într-un muzeu în aer liber

Author(s): Alin Vaida / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2024

Alin Vaida, the founder of Jazz in the Park in Cluj-Napoca, discusses the festival’s collaboration with the Ethnographic Park, initiated due to the pandemic restrictions that limited events to 500 spectators. This move that started in 2020, created a unique blend of jazz music within an open-air museum setting, providing a distinct and harmonious atmosphere that aligns with the festival’s concept of creating a micro-universe where people connect emotionally. The Ethnographic Park, with its hidden energy and historical backdrop, offered a complementary environment for the festival, leading to a reinvention of the festival. This new location brought stability, new opportunities for community engagement, and innovative projects. It attracted a different audience and allowed for creative experimentation, which was not feasible in Central Park. The partnership greatly benefits the museum through increased visibility and new opportunities stemming from the festival’s national communication campaign. This collaboration enhances the museum’s reputation, making it more inclusive and recreational. Conversely, the festival gains prestige, seriousness, and a more respectful audience due to the museum’s influence. However, challenges exist. The festival faces risks due to limited control over the space and potential over-replication of the model by others, which could dilute its uniqueness. Logistical challenges also arise as the park is primarily a museum, requiring significant adaptations for the event. The museum faces pressure during the festival days and managing the increased attention can be demanding. Despite these challenges, the partnership is an example of good practices within the local community, showcasing mutual benefits. In a country with limited dedicated spaces for performing arts, such collaborations are essential. The relationship between Jazz in the Park and the Ethnographic Museum highlights the symbiotic nature of events and locations, demonstrating how each can enhance the other’s role in the community.

Vișinelu village (Mureș County) has emerged from anonymity, leaving its future generations a well organised and inventoried cultural heritage, an authentic testimony to the rural Romanian way of life.All aspects of rural life, from childbirth to death and all the events and activities in-between, are deeply rooted in the collective memory and must be safeguarded.Thus, the creation of a local museum that reunites objects that marked different social events and that aided the local community in their day to day life, is most welcomed. Setting up a local museum is no easy task. It requires the collective effort of heritage specialists.This initiative is proof that the cultural heritage is still very much alive in many villages.

Iancu – o evocare dramatică (Paşcu Balaci)

Author(s): Constantin Cubleşan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 05/2024

Poet Paşcu Balaci is also a well-known playwright. Some of his historical-inspired plays have been awarded important prizes, being represented on various stages throughout the country. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great national hero, Avram Iancu, the leader of the 1848 revolution in Transylvania, he presents to the public a new play, evoking his personality, entitled Avram Iancu. Among the plays dedicated to the hero of the Apuseni Mountains, the one written by Paşcu Balaci stands out for the originality of its approach, as a debate of ideas on the topic of the Revolution in which Romanians in the Austro-Hungarian Empire rose up in the context of the extensive revolutionary movements in Europe, for the attainment of independence and recognition of national identity. The drama Avram Iancu by Paşcu Balaci is, in its own way, a tribute to the national hero of the Romanians in Transylvania, but also, at the same time, a polemical debate of the Paşoptist revolutionary ideas on the forefronts of which looms the tragedy of some fraternal spirits, opponents in the storm of those years, as well as of individual destinies, representing the national destinies, over time, of the Romanian nation. A historical play in a modern vision.

Ljubav je lijek za bolesti mržnje

Author(s): Ivo Mijo Andrić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian Issue: 119-120/2024

Bosanskohercegovački i hrvatski književnik Anto Stanić većinu svojih priča i romana domišlja i razrađuje godinama da bi onda, kad ideja sazrije u plod slatkoga literarnoga okusa, ubrao, obradio i predao čitatelju u obliku pitke i čitke knjige. Tako je nastala i njegova najnovija romansirana pripovijest pod naslovom Tko je moj otac. Riječ je o kraćem romanu ili, kako bi rekao naš poznati pisac Miroslav Krleža, noveleti, koja se bavi temom nasilja nad ženama u ratnom vremenu. Ta tema je podjednako aktualna u današnjim kao i u svim prošlim ratovima, uključivši i one koji su vođeni u Bosni i Hercegovini devedesetih godina prošloga stoljeća

Josip Marinko “Iz Novega mesta u Bosnu”

Author(s): Josip Marinko / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2024

Ustanak iz 1875. i okupacija Bosne i Hercegovine (1878.) sa strane Austro-Ugarske su pored simpatija slovenske javnosti i dobrovoljaca, privukli simpatije i slovenskih literata. Neki od njih pisali su o političkim i vojnim događajima kao što je Jernej Plemeniti Andrejka drugi su svoje utiske opisali u prozi i stihovima kao što su bili Josip Stritar, Simon Gregorčić, Jakob Aleševec, Josip Pagaliaruzzi (psd. Krilan), Miroslav Malovrh, Luka Pintar, Jakob Sket i dr. Simpatije koje su se oblikovale u periodu od 1875. do 1878. godine poslužile su kao osnova za otkrivanje austrijskog juga i počak suživota sa južnom braćom. Austro-Ugarska okupacije Bosne i Hercegovine pored emotivnog zadovoljstva nosila je u sebi sigurno i višeputa navođeni privredni benefit i koristi da bi “Bosna mogla dati kruha i profit mnogim Slovencima”, posebno obrtnicima. Obrazovan, civiliziran i pun entuziazma Marinko kreće na put u Bosnu i Hercegovinu, koja je u europskim krugovima važila za “eksotičnu” državu zbog svoje historijske specifike. Historijski putopis koji je pred nama svjedoči o narodu, navikama i običajima na jednoj strani dok sa druge strane pomjera geografske i kartografske granice, uvećavajući historijsko i kulturološko znanje onih koji su ostali kod kuće.
