Author(s): Anna Barska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 13/2022

The examples Barska discusses, i.e., Algiers, Oran, Tunis and Djerba, are helpful in understanding the complexity of the socio-cultural and political life in the Maghreb.

FROM NOVEL TO FILM: THE ROLE OF MUSICAL INSERTS IN TOMASI DI LAMPEDUSA’S THE LEOPARD

Author(s): Anamaria Milonean / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 16/2019

If we can talk about additional significance in the case of a filmic text as compared to that of a novel, this is mainly due to the former’s multi-code nature. There are various codes-ranging from visual-iconic to linguistic and sound representations-that underpin the meaning of a filmic text, as form of a complex creative expression, conferring it a highly synergic character in comparison with the verbal text. The written text does indeed feature references to signifying structures belonging to codes other than the linguistic one; however, these are also textually updated by means of words. While the reading of a verbal text involves a syntagmatic reception of messages originating from various semiotic systems, the audio-visual flow of the filmic text allows for a simultaneous reception similar to a real-life situation. In light of these premises, our article emphasizes the importance of musical structures in Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusaʼs ʽThe Leopardʼ, as well as in the homonymous film directed by Luchino Visconti. After a concise presentation of the typology of sounds and their support in shaping the specificity of cinematographic language, we will highlight the role of musical inserts in both novels and films. Thus, we will compare their functions and valences in outlining the overall textual meaning for two distinct signifying objects which nevertheless interact through a fruitful intertextual dialogue.

Naruszenia pamięci o Holokauście w dziedzinie sztuki

Author(s): Jakub Witt / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2021

Dziedzictwo martyrologiczne związane z Holokaustem bywa przez niektórych artystów obierane jako temat ich dzieł (szeroko rozumianej) sztuki. Motywacje twórców mogą być różne: od najbardziej szczytnych, takich jak oddanie czci i wzniosłe upamiętnienie, przez przestrogę, przypominanie o zbrodniach nazistowskich, inne społecznie ważne wartości, terapię traumy Holokaustu, krytykę określonych postaw czy obowiązującej narracji historycznej, zwykłą bezmyślność lub poszukiwanie rozgłosu, aż po nienawiść, antysemityzm czy negacjonizm. Choć działalność artystyczna dysponuje poszerzoną legitymacją do operowania na granicy obowiązującego porządku społecznego, do którego zaliczają się również dobra prawne w postaci pamięci narodowej czy kultu zmarłych, nie powinno dochodzić do przekraczania tej granicy. Autor przywołał wybrane przykłady dzieł sztuki, próbując dociec intencji ich twórców i stwierdzić, czy doszło do naruszenia pamięci o Holokauście. Wprowadzenie ścisłej karnoprawnej ochrony dziedzictwa martyrologicznego i pamięci narodowej byłoby trudne, pojęcia te nie mają bowiem definicji normatywnej, a ich wartościowanie może zależeć od subiektywnych przekonań. Każdy przypadek naruszenia pamięci wymaga indywidualnej oceny i nie sposób przyjąć zobiektywizowanych kryteriów jej dokonywania, czego wymagałyby zasady prawa karnego.

Violations of Holocaust Memory in Art

Author(s): Jakub Witt / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2021

Artists sometimes choose the martyrial legacy of the Holocaust as the topic for their works of (broadly defined) art. The motivations of the artists may vary from the most noble, such as reverence and full-throated commemoration, through warnings, remembrances of Nazi crimes, other socially significant values, therapy for trauma suffered during the Holocaust, criticism of certain attitudes or current historical narration, simple unthinkingness or the search for publicity, to hatred, anti-Semitism and denialism. Even if art has a scopious legitimacy to operate on the edges of the binding social order, which also includes legal goods such as national memory or cults of remembrance of the fallen, there still exists a border that should not be crossed. In the present article, the author cites selected examples of works of art in an attempt to determine the intentions of their creators and whether or not the memory of the Holocaust has been violated. It would be difficult to implement a form of strict legal protection of the martyrial heritage and national memory because these concepts do not possess a normative definition and estimations of their value may depend on subjective beliefs. Each case of a violation of memory requires individual evaluation, and it is impossible to adopt objective criteria that would be conducive to the stipulations of criminal law.

From a Critique of the Soviet System to a Critique of Anthropocentrism

Author(s): Erika Grigoravičienė / Language(s): English Issue: 01+02/2023

This article explores the creative work of several young Lithuanian painters who debuted in the late 1970s and created an informal group they called Penketas, or The Five. These ‘bad boys’ tested their era’s boundaries of official norms of art and the limits of decency. Their paintings were distinctly detached, highly self-reflexive and inter-iconic. This article presents the creative work of The Five in an international context, but also reveals new contemporary relevance, demonstrating that the group’s strategies of transgression and subversion might be understood today as something more than a reaction to the Soviet policy of ‘humanising’ art.

Imaginary and unbuilt

Author(s): Dina Suhanova / Language(s): English Issue: 01+02/2023

Architectural drawing is a powerful medium not just as a tool for documentation but also as artwork and as a fully-fledged component of visual culture, shaping architectural theory, artistic creation and visionary thinking. Architectural drawing is the cornerstone of every architect’s education and practice: the ‘craft of drawing’ has always been a trademark of architects. The digital turn and development of technology have provoked discussion on the death of hand drawing. However, despite the digital transformation, the interest in hand drawing has seemingly been reborn, and is studied as a valuable part of architectural culture. The purpose of the paper is to examine hand drawings from the Latvian Museum of Architecture archives, focusing on unbuilt and sometimes visionary architectural drawings from the Soviet period of Latvia: original drawings dating from the period of the 1960s-1980s. The selection of drawings offers an overview of architectural thoughts, ideas and visions of the Latvian Soviet architecture scene through artistic abilities and available analogue techniques, as well as looking at the drawings as independent art pieces.

Мікротопоніми та живопис: точки дотику

Author(s): Natalia Sokil-Klepar / Language(s): English,Ukrainian Issue: 1/2018

This article analyzes microtoponyms’ names as elements of artistic paintings of Ukrainian artists of the 20th – 21st centuries. There are revealed the main problems of onomastic terminology, coupled with the nomination of spiritual and material heritage of the Ukrainian people. The main emphasis is made on the names of the Ukrainian Carpathians microscopic objects. To nominate paintings Ukrainian artists often use microtoponyms for a clearer localization of a depicted area. Discovered common features of microtoponyms, especially in art and figurative painting. Microtoponyms and paintings embody national values above all spiritual, so have the emotional and aesthetic, suggestive, informative and other features. The names of such pictures on the structural level are both single- and multi-component. Reasoning base of microtoponyms is mainly orographic, hydrographic and dendrological terms that naturally follows from the description of the mountain environment. Explained series of similar paintings by various authors and found that the same locus can be presented to viewers in different ways. This stems from the author’s vision of the object, landscape lay the symbolic subtext. Knowledge of etymology, semantic and motivational elements of names of art paintings significantly expand the horizon of emotional and intellectual perception of pictures.

Tichá přátelství: Vladimír Fuka, Eva Fuková, Jiří Kolář, Zdeněk Urbánek, Jan Rychlík, Kamil Lhoták, Josef Schwarz-Červinka, Jan Hanč a Emanuel Frynta

Author(s): Anna Strnadlová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2021

The period after February 1948 meant great change for the cultural sphere in Czechoslovakia. The art groups and clubs were dissolved; artists who did not want to squeeze into the limits of socialist realism had no choice other than to close themselves in the privacy of their homes and studios. However, after 1950, a group of friends formed around Jiří Kolář in Prague, having shared the same views on political and cultural development and, despite various artistic orientations, captured everyday experience in pictures or texts. This article focuses on the friendship of Jiří Kolář, Vladimír Fuka, Eva Fuka, Zdeněk Urbánek, Jan Rychlík, Kamil Lhoták, Jan Hanč, Josef Schwarz-Červinka, Emanuel Frynta, and others, and tries to portray this period of time, their mutual inspirations and relationships, and especially the extremely creative atmosphere, which was originated in this friendly circle. This thesis is based on diary entries, drawings, collages, poems, and literary texts which they created together and for each other in this unique, free, and inspiring environment.

Freski bizantyńsko-ruskie Kaplicy Trójcy Świętej w projektowaniu komunikacji. Nośnik marki, obrazu i designu

Author(s): Katarzyna Mieczkowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2022

Art is an integral part of the permanent process of communication, but, due to the passage of time and social transformations, the way it is received is changing. Art, by its very nature, cannot be pigeonholed. The issues of universalism, symbolism, and the passage of time in the context of communication boil down to the reflection that everything that is neutral and understandable today can change meaning in the process of decoding in the next generation or age. How does art communicate in relation to its dialogue with society? In this respect, communication projects, design, branding, and image creation by means of artifacts and art seem extremely interesting. The author analyzes both the theoretical and practical approaches to this issue, taking into account the more than 600-year-old frescoes of the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, the images of which are used in the communication projects of the National Museum in Lublin and the city’s strategy.

Идеологема «космос» в образах советской визуальной пропаганды 1957–1965 гг.

Author(s): E. A. Fedosov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 42/2023

The aim of the article is to reveal and to elaborate on the figurative and symbolic frameworks in visualization of the topic of space in the Soviet print propaganda of 1957–1965 as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the information and propaganda campaign in terms of public political sentiments. The source base is made up of several thousand of posters, caricatures, cartoons, and other thematic illustrations. The context of their creation, semantics, and distribution are reconstructed by means of bibliographic analysis and content-analytical methods. Analysis of personal sources (diary entries, memoirs, and “letters to the authorities”) is used to describe of the presence of the theme of space in everyday life. Visual propaganda embraced space in relation to almost all key aspects of the life of Soviet people through 1) political ideals; 2) self-identification as belonging to a particular entity; 3) a sense of active personal responsibility for the country; 4) understanding the USSR’s global role during the Cold War. In general, initially there were a genuine interest, pride for the country, and no rejection of propagandistic campaign about the space exploration. However, at the end of the period, some aspects were treated with skepticism due to a lack of novelty in the coverage of events and presence of problems in other fields. At the same time, visual propaganda contextually matched the Soviet citizens’ opinions, and some of them participated in creation of the “space” pictures, that indicate the audience’s attention to visual content. Anyway, its ideological role gradually underwent transformation from ideological to routine meaning.

RENAISSANCE DISSECTION, LITERATURE AND ART

Author(s): Mirela Radu / Language(s): English Issue: 21/2020

Renaissance is, historically speaking, the period of passage from the Middle Ages-in which human knowledge did not have the power to traverse the mists of time- towards the Enlightenment that opens the dawn of the modern age. The country which first felt the need for change was Italy. From here, gradually, the wind of change encompasses entire Europe but it was to be an uneven propagation, which had its own characteristics depending on the specific of each state and each culture. From an economic point of view, the financing power begins to be, between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, taken over by a new emerging class, that of the bourgeoisie. And politically speaking, it is the period in which nation states begin to take shape, understanding that only a centralized and homogeneous form of organization can save nations from dissolution. But what is to be treated in this article is related to art, medicine-more precisely anatomy and the development of these two areas of knowledge in the Renaissance context. The ontogenesis has been a passion of man from ancient times. The first information about the structure of the human body dates back to antiquity. Grafting the new wave of culture on Greco-Roman models must mean taking over a “mythological themes in art.”

PRODUKCIJA POZORIŠNE FESTIVALSKE TV HRONIKE

Author(s): Jakov Amidžić,Zoran Pavljašević,Srđan Vukadinović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 3-4/2022

The producer of a theater festival in the production plan, in addition to the activities related to the organization of performances, and all that is necessary for a festival to take place according to plan and program, in modern social circumstances must take into account how he will present the events to the public with and around the festival. There are various ways and means of promoting and presenting the festival to the public (posters, posters, program booklets, flyers, press conferences, audio and video advertising jingles, press announcements, media appearances, social networks, internet, etc.). The process of promoting the festival takes place continuously and in different stages of its production; in the preparation phase, during and after the festival itself. One of the successful forms of creative promotion and presentation of a festival is certainly television chronicles. In a special way, the chronicle provides an insight into what happens at a festival, from its main and supporting content, participants at the festival and other interesting things that accompany festival events.

REDITELJSKOM MAŠTOM PROTIV BESMISLA I TRAUMA

Author(s): Srđan Vukadinović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 3-4/2022

Stage presentation is a mirror of social and theatrical reality in any reality. Although it is idyllic, it is also important from the other side of the stage, it can determine behavior and action towards a better world. The content of the XXXVIII Meeting of theaters / theaters of BiH in Brcko is in those determinants and structures. Directors as creators of theatrical imagination and its incorporation into a better world sublimate the beauty of permeation and encounter, which are reflected in the first level in detecting problems, and in each subsequent layer in the components of imagination that can make that world better and more perfect for life. Theater must go one step further from reality. It must step where society has not yet stepped. If it is not so, then the theater has not fulfilled its purpose and its mission. And the director is there to make a social tragedy into a seismography of the structures of consciousness of the visitors of the theater act. He establishes relationships that convince theatergoers that they are all much better than they think. And that I can do and achieve much more.

Héros et antihéros dans les contes de Zola et la peinture de Manet

Author(s): Dorra Barhoumi / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2023

In literature just as in the art of painting, the representation of the romantic or pictorial hero is dependent on an antihero who designates, by the narration of facts or by the evocation of pictorial signs, the relationship, the influence or effect of one on the other. In Zola's tale The Convent we have tried to analyse the relationship between two little girls with different aspects in their behaviour by showing the link between their descriptions and the paintings by Manet. Since Zola and Manet are considered to be very good friends, this explains the inspiration they drew on from each other through their literary and artistic creations which contain echoes and correspondences, among other things, in the evocation of the status of the hero and the antihero.

Artistic Fabulation: Novel Forms of Heroes in the Visual Arts

Author(s): Tünde Varga / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

It is significant how the concept of Carlyle’s “heroic clear visuality” was challenged by late 19th-century Black Americans. Nicholas Mirzoeff points out two cases: Sojourner Truth’s tactic, “inverse visuality”, and W.E.B. Du Bois’ “veiled visuality”. My paper examines divergent art works or projects exhibited in 2021-22 to track how a shift from “heroic clear visuality” is present in new visual narratives which demand new ways of “looking”. In my view, new works are radical in their claim for a special form of opacity (Glissant): on the one hand, they recommend a more emphatic counter-visual narrative by Indigenous groups (the former anti-heroes). On the other hand, they demand a mode of bodily seeing – or rather sensing – with the represented (of new non-human heroes). (Haraway).

KONYA MEVLÂNA MÜZESİ’NDE BULUNAN 1069 NOLU EVRÂD-I MEVLÂNA ADLI ESERİN KİTAP SANATLARI BAKIMINDAN İNCELENMESİ

Author(s): Mutluhan Taş,Emine TÜRKEŞ / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 21/2022

Manuscripts have gained a place in the life of mankind with the manufacture of paper starting from the discovery of writing. After the spread of Islam, different art schools emerged due to the need to multiply the Holy Qur'an. We can say that branches of art such as calligraphy, illumination, miniature, binding, marbling emerged for the decoration of manuscripts or for other reasons. The preservation of these valuable works is also of utmost importance. For this reason, it is also important to research manuscripts, to bring them to light and to transfer scientific studies to future generations. The work was prepared in 1886 (H.1304) by Hattat Vahdeti Efendi in accordance with the request of Sheikh Osman Selahaddin Dede, one of the dervishes of Yenikapı Mevlevi House. The lives of Sheikh Osman Salahaddin and Calligrapher Vahdetî Efendi were determined as a result of researches and it was registered that they were prepared by these people in the foundation on the last page of the work. In addition to the fact that the work titled "Konya Mevlânâ Müzesi 1069 Inventory Nolu Evrâd-ı Mevlânâ" that we have examined contains information about the Mevlevi Evrâd Tradition, it has been deemed worthy of research because it also contains the calligraphy, illumination and skin art features of the period.

Experience is important because art education is linked to the artistic and cultural upbringing of individuals and societies. It can be seen as important for the permanence of learning that students experience and associate their own culture at the same time while learning. In order to continue and survive, a culture not only needs to protect its values but also requires art to bring these values to the next generations. Art Education is directly related to the artistic and cultural upbringing of individuals and societies. Students' experience and association while learning about their own culture can be considered important for the permanence of learning. Generations should preserve culture and art, which is a part of culture, and pass it on to other generations.
