“Don’t Underestimate the Girls... Some of them are More Genuine Ultras than You”

Author(s): Kremena Iordanova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 1/2017

Sports and football in particular are always considered a typical male occupation,which stresses male values and where the presence of the opposite sex is regarded as unnatural. In the last decade, the European stadiums witness the unprecedented presence of women attending the football games. This leads to the conclusion that the idea of male hegemony on the stadium could be questioned. The study is conducted among women–football fans in Bulgaria. The main questions, which it aims to answer,are: What are the ways of becoming a football fan? How do the female football fans spend their time in the circles that were until recently considered male? To what extent is their behaviour on the stadium independent?

“What is Fatmagül’s Guilt?” Ethnology at the End of the Workday

Author(s): Vanya Zhekova / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

The paper offers an ethnological reading of the Turkish TV series “What is Fatmagül’s guilt?” as well as a critical view on its broadcast on Bulgarian television. The central subject matter is a group rape which sets the main theme of the series: violence against women. The authors develop the theme in two main forms:physical/sexual and symbolic violence, the latter regulated and maintained by thewedding ritual. The core of the latter is the problem of virginity.Special focus is paid to the script and the way in which pre-modern culture is presented. There are examples which show that the literary text is not only a super structure over cultural facts or their basic illustration, but in many cases it conducts a dialogue with them, transforms them and even rejects them as cultural practices (the problem of guilt, the ‘besmirching’ of the woman, the first wedding night complex,the cultural meaning of the red colour in a man’s relationship with his wife, the bed,material and spiritual, etc.). The series represents a good example of creative work on and analysis of pre-modern culture.

”DON’T CRY FOR ME, ARGENTINA” - DOMINGO FELIPE “MINGO” CAVALLO (The Argentinean Scenario and the Neo-Liberal Ideological-Political Credibility of the Washington Consensus)

Author(s): Slavko SASAJKOVSKI / Language(s): English / Issue: -/2007

Argentina, at least so far, has no evident reason to cry for Cavallo’s neoliberalism (with all the controversies of this specifi c Argentinean model) since the (moderate) left socio-economic policies of Kirchner have fundamentally and effi ciently stabilized the Argentinean economy and society. Kirchner’s success and Cavallo’s failure (the Argentinean scenario) have essentially undermined the Washington Consensus as an “action plan” of the neo-liberal globalization.

ІНТЕРАКТИВНІСТЬ ЯК ОДНА З ОЗНАК СУЧАСНОГО МЕРЕЖЕВОГО МИСТЕЦТВА КІБЕРКУЛЬТУРИ

Author(s): Vladyslav Honcharov / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 3/2014

Important in the context of studies of modern innovations in the arts seems protovirtual analysis of reality, which include all forms and elements of virtuality that occur naturally or deliberately created by artists from or with the use of modern electronic technology. The main feature of art protovirtual reality is interactivity.For protovirtual reality characterized by the inclusion of computer special effects, computer graphics into the fabric of traditional artistic works of art. The major features of contemporary art shaped by technology is interactive, involving: – the possibility for the viewer to contact the artist and even participate actively in his work; – Creation of new artistic means; – Digital elite (often network and media) art.Interactivity as a way to actively influence the recipient in virtual reality mode specific time of its formation and perception makes it possible to "combine artistic image that traditionally formed in the psyche of the subject, with more or less active influence on one art object that transforms its material and thus corrects and artistic image. Speaking of interactivity as the most important characteristic of virtual reality, which implies an active bidirectional interaction with the built environment, it is worth noting that this feature distinguishes it from most traditional genres of art, which to some extent also a specific technology creation and broadcast of illusory worlds. The trend towards interactivity is particularly noticeable in contemporary art, in which simplicity of execution, intentional departure from skill (skill in the traditional sense) suggests the richness of meaning by the viewer or listener, as this trend is typical for modern improvised music, and contemporary visual art.The so-called interactive art has no single, clear-cut beginning of its appearance.Proponents of interactive art tend to think of innovative multimedia conversion as a new cyber-culture that could give rise to a completely new form of art in which an infinite number of recipients will be able to participate as equals in the creation of works of art.So it's safe to say that interactivity is now becoming the most important and typical feature of postmodern culture. Today interactive is any kind of multimedia creation, in which recipients or undefined number of users are able to participate actively in the process of artistic creation and in its sole discretion to alter the pace of the process and the final version of the proposed product.It is noted that the art network are no longer restricted to interactive online projects, it turns into reality, creating networks that connect people, create new horizontal communication – from person to person, avoiding propaganda machine media.In general, the use of digital computer technology determined the change of epochs in art, which has become one of the most interactive-oriented by its history. The characteristic features of the new era, given the above, will further the mutual integration of different kinds of art, and art and advanced scientific achievements, as well as the development of multisensor arts and art variable reality.

Храна и публичност: срещи в празника

Author(s): Rayna Gavrilova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 4/2018

The proposed paper is an attempt to examine and discuss the relation between social interactions, festivity, and food in the beginning of twenty-first-century Bulgaria. Topics of interest are the specific forms of public space and the participation during two types of events: the festivals of individual towns and the political kurbans. The article examines the extent to which the communal celebrations have “enter[ed] the service of economic and political propaganda” (Habermas). Both types of events are organized “from the top” – they are planned, financed and practically performed by people who possess political power. Furthermore, they both include certain forms of distribution of free food; thus, the author comes to the conclusion that the consumption of offered food and drinks binds the participating individuals in a somatic and emotional mutual experiencing the celebration. Commensality is a form of participation, which by definition is voluntary and unarticulated inclusion. The citizens are a quiet audience (public, n. in Bulgarian) of the activities presented on stage but enthusiastic participants in the shared meals.

Author(s): Petia Bankova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 3/2016

On one hand it draws its datafrom ethnographic sources (archival, literary and personally collected field material),presenting the custom in its traditional version, and on the other – on research conductedthrough the method of participant observation and semi-structured interviewsduring contemporary manifestations of this custom. Analyzing specific ritual elementsand focusing on gifts/presents received by the child, the author develops theidea that this custom gradually loses its characteristics as a rite of passage. Furthermore,the lack of information or its laic presentation and interpretation has resultedin the development and approbation of a „scenario“ of the custom, which leads to aprocess of deritualization and transformation so this custom becomes primarily a festivemoment, a party, a visit, an occasion for gatherings of people who, through theirpresence and especially through their gifts, support the new-born and his/her family.
