Art in everyday life in the Habsburg monarchy. Count Charles-Joseph de Clary-Aldringen (1777-1831)

Author(s): Matthieu Magne / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The article explores the relation between aristocratic status and art in daily life of Charles-Joseph de Clary-Aldringen, the landlord of Teplice in Bohemia. The aristocrat acquired great skills in all arts, but was not a professional. He was an amateur who used art to express his membership of the grand monde by taking part in performances, by staging himself, and by knowing how to decipher all the social codes. We discuss his role as a diarist, as artist drawing pictures, as theatre actor and as collector of art. We show how the competition between aristocratic families motivated him to develop the spa of Teplice. We explore the role of drawing and letter-writing in his self-expression. If the professional lives by his art, amateurs like the Comte de Clary live by the arts. The requirements are different. The aristocrat seeks to construct and stage an identity where the nobleman becomes the artist of his own life by combining the imperative of social distinction with aesthetic pleasure.

Ко се боји савремене домаће драме

Author(s): Predrag Nešović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3-4/2021

Аристотел је у својој ПОЕТИЦИ, већ врло рано, забележио: „...није песников задатак да износи оно што се истински догодило, него оно што се МОГЛО ДОГОДИТИ, и што је могуће по законима вероватности и нужности.” [О песничкој уметности, IX, 21] Питање је просто и провокативно. Савремена домаћа драма не постоји, или... Одговор може бити врло једноставан: Има је, постоји, али... Није потребно да узимамо неке податке давнашњег датума који би послужили као илустрација о доста активном односу савремених драмских писаца у писању драмских дела.

Reprezentarea în opera plastică, literară şi cinematografică

Author(s): Alexandra Noemina Radut / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 16/2014

This research undertakes to situate representation in relation to painting, literature and cinematography. Since Plato and Aristotle mimesis is the central concept in analyzing literature and aesthetics. In modern art, the spectre of representation refers to the inner world of the artist; the artist gives rise to a self-representation within which the object is disintegrated. Therefore, there is always a reconstruction and a resignification involved in the process of symbolisation. To represent is to present again – the entire history of art since the Renaissance offered different attempts of solving this assertion. The work of art is not an ordinary mimetic image, but, on the contrary, it becomes a model/ prototype for the creator who, as a representing subjectum, moves in imaginatio. Although representation creates worlds of illusion and therefore it should not be confused with the reality effects, we argue that it has provided in cinematography the existence of the so-called „le spectacle de la vérité”.

Светът на изкуството

Author(s): Arthur Danto / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

In his seminal article “The Artworld“ (1964) Arthur Danto breaks with the neo-wittgensteinian refusal to look for a definition of art, which dominated Anglophone aesthetics in the middle of the 20th century. Turning away from the perceptible properties of artworks, Danto offers a convincing argument for the claim, that artistic theory as well as art history are necessary in order to adequately identify and speak of art. Later developments have led to the formulation of the so called institutional theory of art by the philosopher George Dickie, building on the term “artworld”, the fact notwithstanding that this definition has been refuted. Danto's contribution to art theory has been compared by his successors to a “paradigm shift” in the philosophy of art.

How the ASTRA Association Contributed to the Emancipation of Transylvanian Romanians Using Cultural Propaganda Through Theater

Author(s): Sorana Maier,Ion M. Tomuş / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Starting with 1921, the Transylvanian Association for Romanian Literature and the Culture of the Romanian People (ASTRA) included in its scope of activities a cultural propaganda through theater, aiming to support the cultural emancipation of the Romanian people in Transylvania, especially in the small towns of the province, where the situation of cultural-artistic life was poor. Financially supported by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Arts, the ASTRA Association managed to set up a theater movement in Sibiu, with a view to enriching the cultural life of Transylvania, cultivating the artistic taste of the audience, promoting Romanian literature and the spiritual values of the Romanian people. This study analyses a series of unique documents in the ASTRA Collection, which reveal less-known aspects of the activity of the ASTRA Association.

Bad Art

Author(s): Sara Borghero / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

This article explores the possibilities offered by Bad Art within the art system, which at times still appears as an elitist world that few understand and have access to. Starting from the article "Exhibit Bad Art" (Gompertz, 2012) we will interview Anna Choutova, head of the curatorial project "Bad Art", and link the thoughts of art critics and scholars who highlight the potential of Bad Art as a popular, ironic and accessible art form, showcased by institutions such as The Museum of Bad Art.

Proust Anny Iwaszkiewiczowej

Author(s): Małgorzata Cieliczko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2021

The article concerns the reception of Marcel Proust’s novels by Anna Iwaszkiewiczowa (1897-1979) - an excellent expert in literature, music and painting, polyglot, erudite, humanist with a predilection for the exact sciences. She was the first translator of, In Search of Lost Time into Polish; the excerpts she translated testify not only to her outstanding talents at translation, but also to her reading insight and a kind of closeness to Proust’s writing and thought. Iwaszkiewiczowa also translated important critical articles by foreign authors to familiarize Polish readers with European proustological discussions. In addition, she devoted a lot of attention to the French author in her private journals, but above all, she creates her own, inspiring interpretations of Proust’s work in literary essays. The juxtaposition of the writings of Marcel Proust and Joseph Conrad turns out to be particularly interesting and fresh, though surprising at first. This article analyzes these texts, presenting them in the context of contemporary aesthetic, philosophical and even physical concepts (including Witkacy’s “pure form”, Rudolf Otto’s “numinosum”, Hermann Minkowski’s “space-time”), to which Iwaszkiewiczowa referred directly or indirectly. Parallel reading of both types of her considerations - those scattered in dailies, where she noted private impressions, as well as those announced in the form of carefully prepared articles - brings an interesting and unique image of Proust and of Iwaszkiewicz herself. The article is an attempt to give the floor to Anna Iwaszkiewicz, who is commonly perceived as the wife of a well-known writer. The author of the article argues that the figure and creative output of Anna Iwaszkiewiczowa are worth careful reading and research analysis, and above all, a reminder.

Estētiskās zināšanas sabiedrības progresam: Leopolda fon Pecolda Rīgas perioda (1869–1879) ierosmes Baltijas mākslinieciskās kultūras attīstībā

Author(s): Kristiāna Ābele / Language(s): Latvian Issue: 41/2020

“An ever thicker network is woven over the world, connecting every country with all the other countries […]. It is not a net that con strains but a system of liberation, like the telegraph and railway communications, as knowledge and skill make one free,” these statements appeared in 1877 in the newspaper Rigasche Zeitung, signed with the cryptonym –d. that was used by its editor-in-chief Leopold von Pezold (1832–1907) – Baltic German journalist, artist, art critic and deliberate champion of liberal ideas. From 1869–1879, Riga was the centre of Pezold’s versatile activities after an important period in Tallinn and before moving to Karlsruhe. In autumn 1869, this rising star of Baltic journalism succeeded John Baerens as the editor-in-chief of the largest newspaper in the Baltic provinces, Rigasche Zeitung, and his ultimate resignation from this post in the summer of 1879 was caused by his opposition to the political conservatism of the periodical’s new owners. Although political aspects of Pezold’s work at the Rigasche Zeitung have been discussed in Baltic German historiography since the 1930s, his contribution to the development of the art scene in Riga of the 1870s has been almost completely neglected in Latvian and foreign scholarship, contrasting the detailed analysis and appreciation of his decisive role in the artistic life of Tallinn of the 1860s as revealed by Estonian art historians. After the first outline as part of a general overview in Volume 3 of the Art History of Latvia (2019), this article continues to fill this gap, featuring Pezold as an inspiring agent of progress in his art criticisms and organisational activities, most closely related to the founding of the Riga Art Society (Kunstverein zu Riga, Rigascher Kunstverein) in 1870 and its major early achievements. Quite conventional in his own painting, Pezold stands out as a surprisingly modern visionary in his ideas about the means and functions of visual communication in the society of his time. He continuously reflected on the role of art and aesthetic appreciation as harmonising instruments of progress and emancipation, as well as recognising the role of new reproduction technologies for the general increase of visual expertise, circulation of images, sharing of knowledge, and building of networks in an extensive “community of art” beyond nations, classes and ethnic groups.

The Mortgaged Miracle Social Stratification in Contemporary Estonian Cinema

Author(s): Dirk Hoyer / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2022

According to recent OECD statistics, Estonia is the European Union country with the highest income inequalities. Among all the ex-Warsaw bloc states, the Baltic country also has the highest household debt. Despite these dire socio-economic indicators, Estonia’s path to economic development, the adaptation of the purest forms of neoliberalism to be found in Europe, is often hailed among economists. Former prime minister Mart Laar, one of the key architects of what was dubbed by some the Estonian Economic Miracle, admitted that his guideline for the post-Soviet economic reform (and the only book he read on economics) was Milton Friedman’s Free to Choose. How does inequality, social exclusion and growing social stratification manifest itself in Estonian contemporary cinema? The debut films of three directors, Vallo Toomla, Mihkel Ulk and Toomas Hussar, which all have a contemporary setting, address the neoliberal transformation process to various degrees. All three debut films are genre films: Mushrooming (Hussar, 2012) is a comedy, Zero Point (Ulk, 2014) a high-school drama and The Pretenders (Toomla, 2016) a thriller. None of the films directly addresses the social stratification of Estonian society. The films engage the subject with a low level of politicization, yet each of the films is a chronotope of the engagement of the film medium with society. Especially the question of individual responsibility to society, accountability for social exclusion and possible alternatives to neoliberalism are either addressed in an apprehensive way or, through their absence, deemed irrelevant. How did Friedman’s claim that economic freedom equals political freedom, that the market is the only effective tool and that self-interest is the only acceptable driving force in society affect the Estonian cinemascape?

The Tuning of the World in the 20th and 21st Century: Discourses on Sound and Ecology

Author(s): Biljana Leković / Language(s): English Issue: 25/2021

In this paper, I would like to systematize possible areas, disciplines, and practices that deal with sound and ecology. Also, I would like to research their potential in solving global environmental and sonic problems. I would explore this topic with the idea of following the genesis and continuity of the development of ecological thought and practice concerning sound and music: from the concept of acoustic ecology, as a key one, which since the 1970s has brought to the fore the question of the relationship between sound and the environment, i.e., sound in the environment, through other disciplines based on critical thinking about the relation between sound and current environmental problems.

Czego chcą od kultury konserwatyści?

W wypowiedziach moich rozmówców przewija się przekonanie o bojkocie ze strony elit artystycznych, dla których Słowacki i Mickiewicz to „ramota i paździerz”. Ich zdaniem elity uznają naszą kulturę narodową za nudną, odwracają się do niej plecami.

Уметничке и покретне слике активни чувари културног наслеђа Cрба у Румунији

Author(s): Petrija Jovičić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2015

The aim of this study is to present concisely the reflection of the cultural and artistic influence by means of fine arts and film creations which as a medium and through their activism establish an elaborate net and bridge of Serb-Romanian cooperation thus making an infinite contribution to filigree modeling and protection of centuries-long cultural and spiritual heritage of Serbs in Romania. The approach to the subject with regards to its cultural and artistic connotation provides a long list of all those who contributed to the preservation of the cultural heritage of Serbian people in Romania. Through their work that enable visual presentation of life characters, using this distinctive practice they concisely point out to the cultural meanings and thus become faithful “guardians” of material and spiritual cultural treasure eager to reveal their art on all social levels. The fact is that works of art and visual experience remain deeply imprinted in the minds of art consumers, and the images of past are passed down from generation to generation, all of which contribute to the preservation of the cultural heritage. Throughout this study I divided and explained the subject matters on three different levels: 1) Artists/painters – presentation of art, Romania – Serbia; 2) Film production – realization and presentation of documentary – ethnographic films; 3) Diversity, directions and guidelines of presenting artistic accomplishments as “guardians” of tradition of Serbs in Romania. There are many reasons for dealing with this subject, since artists through their works and instruments of visualization show everyday life and customs, shaping it every day, and thus stepping beyond the boundaries of aestheticism and becoming the carriers of solid cultural connotations. Over the past twenty years in Serbia and Romania, visible interests of exhibitions have been revealed through different events. Films that show structural discourse of everyday life and tradition give the ethnographic film the concept of cultural meaning. Magical power of the ethnographic film – the youngest branch among the centuries-old traditional forms of artistic expression- includes the images of culture-now and then. These images by using documented history and subjective memories, construct the history, the imperfect remembrance and identity performances. They actualize the active experience of images of past times into the horizon of present creating the narrative frame which gives us the permission to, through foundation of visual anthropology, say that we are the bearers and promoters of cultural heritage. The idea of this study is to offer a suggestion that, through the creation of virtual gallery, virtual material of artistic provenance can become the link between the center and the scattering.

Outrageous: Defending the art of free expression

Author(s): Brad Evans,Julian Reid / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

This essay makes a critical defence of free expression through the spirit of outrageousness. Drawing upon the ideas of Oscar Wilde, along with artists such as Frida Kahlo, Francis Bacon, Gilbert and George and Jake and Dinos Chapman, it looks beyond the current attempts to reduce the question of freedom to quintessential liberal tropes. In doing so, the paper both offers a critique of the moral absolutism that’s taken over certain sectors of the so-called ‘radical left’, while demanding more political appreciation for creatives and those with the abilities to reimagine the human subject. Such a critique not only suggests the need to rethink the meaning for freedom beyond the play of libertarians, but it also calls forth a new political subjectivity who appears timely and yet timeless – the much maligned and theoretically ignored figure of the infidel, who allows us to break free from moral entrapments.

Influențe și realizări originale ale artei medievale balcanice

Author(s): Duşiţa Ristin / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2014

Our work starts with a discussion of some aspects of the history of culture, with references to the historical events in the evolution of Southeastern Europe art during the Middle Ages. The Medieval Byzantine art in the Balkans is the result of a stable and fruitful contact of the stylistic influences and intersections of the knowledge of South Slavic, Romanian and Greek gifted craftsmen. Therefore, we will deal with, on the one hand, the contents which are common to such masterpieces of art especially regarding the church one and, on the other hand, with those aspects that have made them be unbeaten - their aesthetic and theological identity. We are going to locate those border areas of medieval art in which the stable principles (rules) could be converted into artistic individual authorial solutions in South-Slavic and Romanian space.

Usporedna analiza melodrama: Samo jednom se ljubi (1981) i Oficir s ružom (1987)

Author(s): Jelena Grgić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 56/2022

Rajko Grlić’s The Melody Haunts My Reverie and Dejan Šorak’s film The Officer with a Rose were made in the 1980s, at a time when postmodernist influences were felt in national cinema. In postmodernism, Croatian film has shown greater interest in film genres that have for a long time been underrated and considered inferior. This was particularly the case with melodrama genre. Grlić’s and Šorak’s melodramas, despite some significant differences, share a common dramaturgical structure - the tragic and inacceptable love between a partisan and a middle class „bourgeoisie“ woman in the Post-World War II period. Also, intertextual connections with American and European melodramas encompassing similar settings (depiction of the same time period, motifs, etc.) can be noticed. In case of Grlić these connections are more subtle, but in Šorak’s film there is a more direct homage to the author/genre. A comparative analysis of the two melodramas will point out the similarities and differences in treatment of genre, motifs, typology of characters, and references to film history, as well as Šorak’s possible references to Grlić’s melodrama.

KAZAK HALKININ AYTIS SANATI

Author(s): Nasihat Mursalimova,Almas Oralbek,Mehmet Aça / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 38/2022

Aitys art is a unique traditional heritage that reflects the nomadic life, national identity, spirit and steppe culture of the Kazakh people, emerging and developing in line with these characteristics. Aitys art developed together with other types of Kazakh oral literature and even influenced these genres. In this study, we discussed some issues of aitys, which is a unique art in Kazakh folk literature that has survived until today. In particular, we talked about the art of improvisation, its origin, formation, development, distribution, type, artistic quality, its role in Kazakh culture and literature and its importance in national spirituality. We have scientifically examined the types of interior styles and their functions, the reasons for the obsolescence of some of them, and the ways in which they are reconstructed and transformed for the benefit of the country. The collection, storage, systematization, research, publication, versatile structure of Aytis species, changes in different periods depending on the historical and social conditions of the society, etc. We drew attention to the issues. We used data obtained from written sources in the study. In the conclusion part of the study, we made suggestions about the current state of the art of aitys and the works that should be done to keep the art alive. The flag of aitys art, which was aborted from time to time, was raised by raids such as Jambıl, Şaşıbay, Doskey, Nartay, Sat, Nurkan, Kayıp, Kosen, Kenen, Sayadil, Umbetali in the 20th century. The tradition is still alive among the people today, but it has not been preserved in modern environments. Aitys poets convey the aytis of the famous akin without adapting to their rhythms and do not respect the musical traditions of the regional schools that have lived for centuries. Therefore, such cases are among the unresolved problems of modern aitys art.
