The Soul in the Axiosphere from an Intercultural Perspective, Volume One
The essays collected in this volume form a multifaceted discourse on religious, philosophical, historical, ethnocultural and sociocultural, literary and linguistic issues. A multicultural approach to the problem of the soul allows the presentation of it on a microscale, focused on national and regional specificity, as well as on the macroscale, oriented toward universal values which can be observed in the cultures of peoples distant from each other in both time and space. The book consists of 28 chapters, addressing the fundamental themes of human existence, which find expression in cultural texts in both colloquial and artistic language, and which have a prominent place in anthropological, psychological, metaphysical and theological debates.
Confronting Antisemitism in Modern Media, the Legal and Political Worlds
This volume documents the transformation of age-old antisemitic stereotypes into a new form of discrimination, often called "New Antisemitism" or "Antisemitism 2.0." Manifestations of antisemitism in political, legal, media and other contexts are reflected on theoretically and contemporary developments are analyzed with a special focus on online hatred. The volume points to the need for a globally coordinated approach on the political and legal levels, as well as with regard to the modern media, to effectively combat modern antisemitism.
Ethnomusicology and Cultural Diplomacy
Music has long played a prominent role in cultural diplomacy, but until now no resource has comparatively examined policies that shape how non-western countries use music for international relations. Ethnomusicology and Cultural Diplomacy, edited by scholars David G. Hebert and Jonathan McCollum, demonstrates music's role in international relations worldwide. Specifically, this book offers "insider" views from expert contributors writing about music as a part of cultural diplomacy initiatives in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Syria, Japan, China, India, Vietnam, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Nigeria. Unique features include the book’s emphasis on diverse legal frameworks, decolonial perspectives, and cultural policies that serve as a basis for how nations outside “the west” use music in their relationships with Europe and North America.
European Roma
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. This book, designed as a resource for scholars, educators, activists and non-specialist readers, presents the results of new research on the role of Romani groups in European culture and society since the nineteenth century. Its specific focus is on the ways in which Romani actors, in their interactions with non-Romanies, have contributed to shaping Europe’s public spaces. Twelve chapters recount the experiences and accomplishments of individuals and families, from across Europe (England, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Finland) and Canada. All based on new...
Pamięć starych wieków
Praca porusza tematykę praktycznie niezbadaną, a czyni to w sposób nowatorski, łącząc problematykę teologiczno-liturgiczną prawosławia z kulturą ludową. Takie połączenie otwiera nowe perspektywy – wyprowadza dogmatyczne i katechetyczne myślenie o czasie liturgicznym, sakralnym z ograniczonych ram oficjalnej religijności i konfrontuje je z przełożeniem na żywy odbiór w ludzie, z drugiej strony – przestaje patrzeć na duchową kulturę ludową jak na skansen, a ukazuje dynamikę odbioru, przetwarzania i zwrotnego inspirowania kultury „wysokiej”. Zarówno aspekt kalendarza liturgicznego, jak i jego odpowiednika ludowego jest oparty na solidnych kwerendach i badaniach ...
Świątynie, postacie, ikony
Kult ikony poza przestrzenią świątyni i liturgią umożliwia jej badanie w odniesieniu do świata zbiorowych wyobrażeń ludzi, którzy w danym miejscu i czasie otaczają czcią owe święte obrazy. Ikona w świadomości typu ludowego posiada swoje własne znaczenia, które odnoszą się nie tylko do kanonicznych treści religijnych, jest ona także jednym ze znaków wizji świata, w którym funkcjonuje. Pytanie, czym jest ikona, co jest na niej namalowane i co oznacza w kulturze, jest jednocześnie badaniem świata zbiorowych wyobrażeń istniejących w kulturze. Odbiorcy sztuki różnią się między sobą, a zrozumienie, czym jest dla nich sztuka i co w niej odkrywają, wymaga uwzględ...
The Eclectic Visual Culture of Medieval Moldavia
Winner of the 2023 Early Slavic Studies Book Prize from the Early Slavic Studies Association (ESSA) (Best book) Medieval Moldavia – which was located within present-day northeastern Romania and the Republic of Moldova – developed a bold and eclectic visual culture beginning in the 15th century. Within this networked Carpathian Mountain region, art and architecture reflect the creativity and diversity of the cultural landscapes of Eastern Europe. Moldavian objects and monuments – ranging from fortified monasteries and churches enveloped in fresco cycles to silk embroideries, delicately carved woodwork and metalwork, as well as manuscripts gifted to Mount Athos and other Christian center...
INVESTIGÂND PATRIMONIUL CULTURAL
Odată creat şi mai apoi transmis, orice produs sau bun cultural tinde să devină, treptat şi urmând un proces aproape natural, un bun cu valoare identitară, fie particulară fie universală, adică, de fapt, o formă de patrimoniu. Ce este patrimoniul cultural şi cum se constituie el? Care este natura reprezentărilor și proceselor formative ale patrimoniului? Cum influențează noile mijloace de comunicare și socializare, noul mediu socio-economic, reprezentările ce îl alcătuiesc? Care este natura relației dintre patrimoniul cultural și mecanismele identitare? Cum pot fi caracterizate diferitele tipuri de identități în cadrul unei astfel de relaţii şi care-i sunt mijloacele de reprezentare specifice? Iată tot atâtea întrebări care au stat la baza unei cercetări aprofundate cu privire la definirea şi implicaţiile patrimoniului cultural în vieţile noastre, ale cărei răspunsuri îmbracă forma contribuţiilor ce alcătuiesc prezentul volum.
