Ponadczasowa więź architektury i urbanistyki z naturą na przykładzie Chin – od Tao do współczesności

Author(s): Wojciech Kosiński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2019

his article is the result of the author’s research done twice in China: a study trip organized by the Cracow University of Technology in 2014 and in 2019, during the Joint Studio programme co-organized by Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University and Chinese Tsinghua University of Beijing. The subject coincides with this issue’s topic – the role of nature in architectural creations. China is a great example in this respect, where for thousands of years nature has been treated by the creators of cities and buildings with the highest respect and friendship, especially in the idea of Tao that arose around the 6th century BC. and used it successfully ever since. The relationship between nature and architecture/city planning has varied throughout history and has been intensified in different cultural eras and styles. This demonstrates a wonderful historical panorama. Moreover, it offers contemporary architects a universal, international and useful lesson about China, sustainability, ecology, and high aesthetics.

The artist must be in an original creation process with its subject, design, composition, intellectual front and back structure, and be able to carry the work to the whole in structural and application dimensions. In the paintings of Iraqi artists, which are the subject of the research, it is seen that subject, design, composition, ideational front and back structure dimensions, original approaches and diversity are revealed.

Философските основи на концепцията за изкуството и изкуствознанието на Николай Райнов

Author(s): Yvanka Raynova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2024

The present study is the first attempt to reconstruct the philosophical foundations of Nikolay Raynov's art history conception, developed in particular in the 12 volumes of his History of the Plastic Arts. Although his philosophical views can hardly be separated from the theosophical ones, the author makes a cautious distinction that allows to clarify Nikolay Raynov's selective reception of some of the most important philosophical views on art and art history. The proposed reconstruction aims to show, firstly, that Raynov draws inspiration from major philosophers such as Plato and the Neoplatonists, Bergson, Croce, and Solovyov, and, secondly, that their views stand in the foreground while theosophical ones form rather the general interpretative framework that is always present but not always explicitly stated. The methods of comparative hermeneutics and immanent-critical philosophical analysis are used to clarify Nikolay Raynov's ambivalent attitude toward philosophy, the nature and role of his metaphysical idealism, his interpretation of the multiple forms of realism, his conception of the seven cultural circles, and the basic philosophical components of his synthetic science of plastic arts.

Рембранд: „драматичен ясновидец на страстите и човечността“

Author(s): Kalin Nikolov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2024

In recent decades, art history has repeatedly renewed interest in a number of the most important artists of various periods, especially Rembrandt. Research, both on his art and on the large legacy of knowledge and documentation concerning his working processes, should add to his influence on certain of his followers and among Bulgarian artists. Rembrandt's plastic and professional approach is expectedly and unexpectedly found in dialogue with a number of our artists, such as Karl Yordanov, Acad. Iliya Petrov, Kiril Gyulemetov, Prof. Petar Chuklev, Yavora Petrova, and others. On the other hand, it is the innovativeness of the Dutch master that adds certainty to the paths to modernity, which is highlighted in a number of notes, diaries, and interviews of our artists, including those of Prof. . Lyubomir Dalchev, Boris Angelushev, and others.

Das Burzenland in der dreisprachigen Lyrik der Zwischenkriegszeit

Author(s): Réka Jakabházi / Language(s): German Issue: -/2023

In der Zwischenkriegszeit galt das Burzenland als bedeutende Inspirationsquelle für die Dichter und Schriftsteller der deutschen, rumänischen und ungarischen Literaturen Siebenbürgens: Zu verstehen ist darunter nicht nur die geografische Region mit ihren natürlichen und gestalteten Landschaften oder Bauten, sondern das Burzenland als gelebter Raum, als Raum von Geschichte, als Ort existenzieller Befindlichkeit, als identitätsstiftendes Element. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag1 wird das Burzenland als Wahrnehmungs-, Handlungs- und Identifikationsraum sowie als Gegenstand der dreisprachigen siebenbürgischen Lyrik der Zwischenkriegszeit in den Fokus der Untersuchung gerückt. Dazu werden einige Gedichte von deutschen, rumänischen und ungarischen Autoren unter die Lupe genommen, die in dieser Ecke Siebenbürgens geboren und/oder gelebt und gedichtet haben: Adolf Meschendörfer, Konrad Nussbächer, Rolf Frieder Marmont, Lajos Áprily, Zoltán Csuka, Ferenc Szemlér, Ion Sassu-Ducșoară und Ștefan Baciu2. Es werden dabei sowohl Gedichte herangezogen, in denen das Burzenland als gegenwärtiger Raum der erlebten Identität3 verstanden wird, als auch solche, in denen das Burzenland des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts in Erinnerung heraufbeschworen ist, also rückblickend, aus einer geografischen und zeitlichen Entfernung.

THE CHALLENGE OF POSTHUMANISM AND TRANSHUMANISM IN FRANCESCA TELENTI’S THE UNCANNY VALLEY

Author(s): Khawla Muzahim Ali / Language(s): English Issue: 37/2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have transitioned from speculative concepts in science fiction to tangible entities capable of reshaping societal landscapes. The convergence of human and machine realms is increasingly blurred owing to swift technological advancements. Francesca Telenti's theatrical work, "The Uncanny Valley," delves into this complex domain, fostering dialogues on the ethical implications and outcomes associated with the pursuit of posthuman or transhuman futures. This examination inspects the challenges presented by posthumanism and transhumanism as depicted in Telenti's play. The impact of digital technologies on modern artistic expression and cultural creation is indisputable. In the realm of performing arts, technology has significantly altered the interaction with audiences and narrative development, providing a platform for exploring current dramaturgical methods.

Pływające fortepiany i pianina na MS „Batorym”

Author(s): Ewelina Damps / Language(s): Polish Issue: 83/2023

This article is an attempt to reconstruct the history of the grand pianos and upright pianos on the board of MS “Batory” with the aim of indicating which specific instruments and of which brands travelled on “Batory”. The article also explores what characterized these and how their further history unfolded after the decision of scrapping the ship. Thanks to the meticulousness of the pre‑war employees of Gdynia–America Shipping Lines SA, the first inventory of the ship has been reconstructed, although its post‑war fate has already been obliterated. The story is fragmentary, interrupted by the lack of surviving documentation. This is supplemented by photographic documentation and interviews with those who created it. The text is “embedded” in the history of the Tricity on the one hand, and in the history of music on the other. The publication of the article is also intended to evoke memories among those who travelled on the MS “Batory”, which may lead to the completion of missing threads.

Filmmaking as Cultural Aggression

Author(s): Yuri Shevchuk / Language(s): English Issue: 43/2023

The article discusses cinematic depopulation, the strategy of appropriation of the colonized by the colonizer widely used in the Soviet and post-Soviet cinema made in Ukraine and Russia and, until now, never analyzed in academic literature. The cinematic depopulation is a mode of filmic representation whereby a given ethnoscape (Ukraine) is cleansed of its national community (Ukrainians) and instead is populated by the colonizer (Russians) as if it were an integral part of his historical territory. As a form of cultural imperialism, this strategy has, until quite recently, been widely used in both Soviet and post-Soviet Russian and Ukrainian filmmaking to promote the idea of Ukraine conceivable outside of and without the Ukrainian language, culture, and other attributes of Ukrainian identity.

Religion, Female Sexuality and Magic in (Post)Modern Film

Author(s): Barbora Vinczeová / Language(s): English Issue: 43/2023

The paper strives to investigate the relationship of female sexuality, magic and religion in film based on the comparison of two selected films. The three themes have been often seen as intertwined especially by religion, which has built an image of a female witch in alliance with the devil, or evil forces. The research aims to answer the question whether postmodern cinema embraces the combination of the aforementioned themes often associated, historically, with the notion of witchcraft practised especially by female witches. The scope of the research is limited to two films; however, the possibility to expand the research in the future and include newer films exists. Comparative methods and analysis are used throughout the paper. The paper is structured according to the analysed themes found in both films – Carrie (dir. Kimberly Peirce, 2013) and Thelma (dir. Joachim Trier, 2017). The author claims that these themes are similar and rooted in the same perception of the female monstrosity in both films, with different outcomes of this combination. The authors suggest that this is due to feminist tendencies becoming more prominent in every artform. However, this claim needs investigating from the feminist studies’ point of view.

Images which are not there. The Representations of the Final Solution in the Examples of Son of Saul and Kornblumenblau

Author(s): Agata Jankowska / Language(s): English Issue: 43/2023

Since the problem of representing the Holocaust first emerged, philosophers, writers and filmmakers have tried to find appropriate aesthetic methods of expression. Two approaches dominate the thinking about the Shoah: Claude Lanzmann’s claim of “the event without images” and George Didi-Huberman’s “images in spite of all”. The author’s analysis deconstructs these two theoretical approaches through the interpretation of two films: the Polish Kornblumenblau and the Hungarian Son of Saul and the notion of “the images which are not there”, that is, the non-existent photographs of the Nazi “Final Solution”. The main thesis of the essay states that cinematic representation and artistic expression can substitute for the lack of historical and visual (mostly photographic) depictions of the Holocaust. With the inspiration of theory (Giorgio Agamben, Siegfried Kracauer), I consider different methods of dealing with the dilemma of “unimaginable Auschwitz” and the concept of “bare life” as an aesthetical problem.

Zjawisko „powracających ptaków” na polskim rynku sztuki. Aspekty ekonomiczno-prawne

Author(s): Wojciech Szafrański / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2024

The concept of “returning birds” should be understood as a phenomenon involving the return to the auction market of an artwork that was unsold at an earlier auction despite a conditional bid at an earlier auction and ultimately falsely “sold” at auction. “Recurring birds,” as a general rule, demonstrate the difficulty in completing successive sales of such works, as they tend to lose the effect of freshness for auction participants. Moreover, the Polish auction market lacks a developed system of guarantees. An attempt to shield against works being removed from the auction and the so-called burning of objects, are pretended conditional transactions or “bogus sales”. This gives rise to separate types of “returning birds,” labeled as “green” and “black”, respectively. Their presence in the Polish auction market is a result of the lack of legal responsibility of auction houses for auction outcomes and the lack of a legal framework for the due diligence of such entities in the trade of works of art.

Biedermeier as Classicism, Romanticism, and Realism: The Development of Polish Perspectives and Research on Biedermeier Art

Author(s): Milena Hübner / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

The main subject of this article is the evolution of interest in and research on the Biedermeier art in Polish scholarly literature. It includes both statements on Biedermeier in the European context and those referring specifically to the situation on Polish territory. This study offers a broad juxtaposition of various definitions of the Biedermeier style across Polish publica-tions, and traces the first usages of the term “Biedermeier” in Poland. It uses comparative analysis of particular texts on art, and thereby shows different lines of Polish research. It demonstrates certain methodological mistakes and internal contradictions that are some-times to be found within the same text and explains the possible reasons for different inter-pretations of Biedermeier art. The overall aim of the study is to collate and bring structure to existing scholarship, which is scattered in publications on different branches of art, and in doing so, to provide the material for further research.
