Dobroslav Orel a slovenská hudobná historiografia (česko-slovenský kontext)

Author(s): Janka Petőczová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2022

The musicological work of Dobroslav Orel (1870–1942) covers a wide range of activities in thefield of musical historiography. He is closely linked to the establishment of the MusicologicalSeminar at the Philosophical Faculty of the Comenius University in Bratislava (1921); he alsoestablished a research center for heuristic research of musical sources preserved in Slovakia.The work of Professor Orel is described and reflected on by his disciples – Konštantín Hudec,Antonín Hořejš, Zdenka Bokesová-Hanáková, as well as by the later generation of Slovakianmusicologists – Jozef Kresánek, Ladislav Burlas, Richard Rybarič, Ladislav Mokrý andothers. The goal of this contribution is to provide an outline of his research into the ancienthistory of music as reflected in the works of Slovakian musicologists, as well as assessing hismethodological points of departure from the perspective of the present state of musicology.

The Green Rings of Budapest

Author(s): Balázs Almási,Krisztina Szabó,Péter István Balogh,Orsolya Fekete Bagdiné / Language(s): English Issue: 3-4/2024

Though several attempts were made to create the Budapest Green Ring, it was never realized, keeping the green spaces of the city mutually isolated. Following 19th-century military innovations and the change in the position of traditional defenses, a rebirth occurred of the areas between the historic city center and the outer, with the development pattern of this transitional zone between the old city and the outskirts revealing unique tendencies among European capitals. This paper aims to study the green surface development of Budapest in the context of innovative international green infrastructure development strategies.

The History and Context of the Brno Ring Boulevard

Author(s): Adam Gudzek / Language(s): English Issue: 3-4/2024

Frequently compared to Vienna’s Ringstrasse, the Brno ring boulevard must nonetheless – despite the shared association with Ludwig Förster – be considered a completely unique urban development, dating to the end of the 18th century. Competition proposals for the design of the Brno ring boulevard predetermined the final form of the regulatory plan, which was used for the the curving boulevards constructed between 1863 and 1885. Although it might appear that Brno’s ‘ring’ was already complete in the 19th century, the 20th century was the time to see the greatest architectural change. The story of the ring boulevard began with Napoleon, and even after 200 years, its development is ongoing.

„Najpiękniej i najstaranniej tłumaczona książka”. Problematyka przekładu nazw własnych na przykładzie polskiego tłumaczenia Obrazów Włoch Pawła Muratowa

Author(s): Halszka Fryźlewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 17/2024

This article deals with the little researched topic of the translation of an art history essay. The Polish translation by Paweł Hertz of Pavel Muratov’s “Evocations of Italy” served as the material for analysis. The context of the work’s publication in Poland is presented at the outset. In the following part of the article the basic translation problems related to the translation of ekphrasis are listed: translation of terms from the fine arts, calque, and loanwords. Most of all, however, paper focuses on the problem of translating proper nouns, especially titles of works of art, defined by the term “artionym”. On the basis of selected examples, it was concluded that this is an important translation problem, requiring the translator to be familiar with the literature on the subject, as individual works may have many different titles.

Contamination as Collaboration: Creating a Collaborative Archive in “Frames of the Anthropocene”

Author(s): Aleksandra Kamińska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2025

“Frames of the Anthropocene” is a collaborative digital exhibition launched by the Virtual Museum of the Anthropocene in 2021. Envisioned as a work-in-progress, the exhibition simultaneously archives and performs the memory of the ongoing anthropogenic changes in different environments. It is argued that many of the photographs, while seemingly focusing on various kinds of human-produced waste, in fact represent multifarious constellations and collaborations, as the waste is gradually integrated into divergent green spaces. The article foregrounds the vibrancy (Bennett, 2010) and processual character of these groupings, viewing them as depictions of temporal and spatial negotiations involving multiple actants that orient the viewers’ gaze towards both human and other-than-human modalities and agencies. By bringing into focus “nonhuman beings and unfamiliar timescales” (Morton, 2017), the author interprets the exhibition as a way of engaging the viewers and potential contributors alike in a reflection on various modes of collaboration discovered through the archive-in-progress. Finally, the article analyses the ways in which “Frames of the Anthropocene” explores the dynamics of “contamination as collaboration” (Tsing, 2015) both in its content and its processual, collaborative formula, thus attempting to transgress anthropocentrism in our understanding of the current epoch.

“Wrocław, that pitiful city of art.” An announcement on the upcoming publication of the Chronicle by Joseph Langer (1865–1918)

Author(s): Adam Organisty / Language(s): English Issue: 24/2024

The Chronicle by Joseph Langer (1865–1918), a painter, noted conservator, and collector from Ziębice in Lower Silesia, was officially made available to the local authorities of this city in the form of photographic documentation in 2019. When I was writing my doctoral dissertation on Langer, which was reviewed by Professor Marek Zgórniak, the existence of the Chronicle was known, but efforts to locate the document were unsuccessful at that time. Today, the Chronicle not only provides insight into Langer’s “life and work” but reveals his personality as well. Written by the artist from 1895 until his death, it also covers earlier years. This report announces the existence of this valuable document and analyses the stylistic form of the text in the context of other similar written accounts. The Chronicle allows us to discover previously unknown sites of Langer’s works. It provides information on the terms of contracts between him and his clients, painting techniques and stages of his work, and the relationships within the Silesian artistic community, including the Royal School of Arts and Crafts in Wrocław. From reading the Chronicle, a picture emerges of a hardworking man suffering from depression, who had to cope with the behavioural norms prevalent in Wilhelmine society.

"Building Archaeology" with Laser Scanning: Geometry-Based Architectural Analysis of the Franciscan Church of Szeged-Alsóváros

Author(s): Eszter Jobbik,Fanni Budaházi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

In this article, we present our laser-scanning–based geometric analysis of the Franciscan Church of Szeged-Alsóváros (HU). The periodisation and building history of the church has been the topic of scientific debate: the chronological order of the construction of the vaults of the nave, apse and sacristy is not yet decided, and the dating of the nave’s vault is highly uncertain. This building is also a great example by which to study the logic behind the designing and raising of such structures in the Gothic era. Based on the exact data we gathered by laser scanning the church, we analyse the layout of the walls, as well as the net (and stellar) vaults of the nave, apse, sacristy and the ground floor of the tower. Knowing the exact geometry, we propose a potential way of constructing the floor plan of the polygonal apse as well as other details. We also address the probable reasons for the plan alteration resulting in a significant difference between the shape of the lower and upper regions of the polygonal apse. Regarding the vaults, we highlight the geometric differences in the connections between the webbings and rib systems, the global geometry of the rib systems and the shaping of the individual ribs. Based on these descriptions, we discuss the probable construction strategies and building methods of the vaults and attempt the theoretical reconstruction of the building processes. The outcome of our research presented in this article is a description of possible methods and applied proportions for drafting medieval structures and a contribution to the periodisation of the Franciscan Church of Szeged-Alsóváros. In addition, the methodology and building archaeology strategies we applied during our work hallmark the new possibilities of non-destructive research methods opened up by laser scanning technology.

Representing the atra bilis: The ‘Said’ and ‘Unsaid’ of the Melancholic in Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia

Author(s): Magdalena Koźluk / Language(s): English Issue: 14/2024

This article is the third in a series of works which aims to contribute to documenting theinfluence of the medical theory of individual temperaments, derived from the theory of the fourhumors, through the major work Iconologia by the Italian humanist Cesare Ripa (1555–1622). Here,we studied the allegory of the melancholic. Beyond the work aimed at situating it within the medical tradition, we were particularly interested in the relationship between text and image and theinterplay between expression (explicite) and silence (implicite) that is so frequent in the work. Wethus undertook to analyse all the symbolic attributes of Ripa’s composition according to whetherthey appear in the engraving, in the text, in both, and whether they are commented on or not. Theimportance given at the end of the text to the teachings of the School of Salerno also allowed us tobetter understand the synthetic thought of the Italian humanist and, consequently, the overall economy of the Iconologia. Thus, in the course of our reflection on the modes of expression of the ‘said’and ‘unsaid’ in the definition of the melancholic temperament in Ripa, we attempted to accountfor the internal mechanics of his work and the nature of the rhetorical strategies (both textual andvisual) of his discursive architecture.

Znaczenie figuracji w twórczości rzeźbiarskiej Barbary Zbrożyny

Author(s): Izabela Sikorska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 15/2024

This article is constituted within the meanings of figuration in the workof the 20th century artist Barbara Zbrożyna. The work presents the evolutionof her selected sculptural realizations. Figurative works focusing on differentthemes are presented in chronological order. The text attempts to decipherthe meanings, contents, and symbols hidden in her work. The introductionproblematizes various aspects of figuration as a starting and ending point forspecific conclusions during the analysis of the artist’s work. Historical eventsthat influenced the formation of contemporary female sculpture in Poland wereanalyzed to decode individual contents, and Barbara Zbrożyna’s work was jux-taposed with the works of post-war sculpture creators, included by Piotr Piotrowskiin Meanings of Modernism (1999). This constitutes an attempt to recon-struct the dialogue with the artistic legacy of her predecessors, to which thisartist loosely referred while decidedly developing her own artistic language.

Muzyczne ramy pamięci: nieznany katalog Emila Hillera z luterańskiej parafii św. Marii Magdaleny we Wrocławiu

Author(s): Grzegorz Joachimiak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 64/2024

The article examines the previously unknown catalog of musical works compiled by E. Hill-er, the cantor of the Lutheran parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Breslau (Wrocław) at the turnof the 19th and 20th centuries. This source, preserved in the State Archives in Wrocław,provides valuable insights into the musical repertoire of the parish, which included composi-tions by both Protestant and Catholic composers. The catalog documents the collection usedin worship services and concerts, illustrating how repertoire selection shaped the identityof the local community. The concept of collective memory, as developed by M. Halbwachs,is employed to demonstrate music’s role as a tool for constructing and preserving culturaland religious traditions. The study also takes into account the musical holdings of St. Chris-topher’s Church, which was affiliated with the same parish. The analysis of musical sourcesfrom both churches, in the context of E. Bohn’s publications, offers a deeper understandingof the history of musical life in this community, the phenomenon of musical ecumenism inBreslau, and the relationship between liturgical repertoire and parish identity.

Author(s): Grażyna Lasek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 64/2024

The aim of the study will be to examine two works from the early 21st century and to deter-mine the layers of meaning and symbolism. Their author is the painter Roman Nyga. Theyare located in Bieruń. The first is a painting entitled The Holy Family placed in the parishchurch of St. Bartholomew the Apostle. The work symbolically conveys, among others, thebeauty of love, community, faith. We can also encounter these issues in the square of theso-called St. Valentine’s Square. In its center there is a column – the Monument of St. Val-entine, Patron Saint of the City of Bieruń. The main access to the central point of the squareis flanked by two low plinths, on both sides of which there are granite slabs with drawingsand inscriptions: LOVE – PURITY, LET’S DO GOOD, FAITH – PRAYER, GRACE –MIRACLE. The research method adopted in this study combines the analysis of sacred artwith a local historical background and a broader cultural perspective. The aim of the studyis to isolate symbols and signs encoded in the works discussed and which co-determine theiruniqueness in which the beauty of art conveys the beauty of deep faith and prayer

„Idiomy dwudziestego wieku” – nowe materiały w polskim wzornictwie i projektowaniu architektury wnętrz okresu dwudziestolecia międzywojennego

Author(s): Agata Wereszczyńska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 13/2024

The purpose of this article is to examine and describe selected new materials in the field of design and interior architecture introduced to the general public in the interwar period in Poland. The technological and civilisational advances that took place after World War I and the transformation of consumer society led to the development of industrial production and design. New forms required new materials. Bakelite, plastics, linoleum, steel and metals or new types of glass were called the materials of the machine age, with which designers achieved innovative visual and aesthetic effects. While the history of most materials began well before the inter- war years, it was not until the 20th century that their acquisition and large-scale use was perfected. The paper is divided into an introduction describing the ‘leap into modernity’ that took place at the beginning of the last century; a main chapter with three subsections describing the different material groups – plastics: metals; glass and neon – which, thanks to developments in science and technology, were brought into widespread use in the design arts of the twentieth century; and a conclusion. For the purposes of this article, a research method was adopted that included an analysis of professional literature, journals dealing with topics in architecture and interior design from the 1920s and 1930s, and an archival and library search.
