According to Wilson et al. (2017), festivals are events held at a particular point in time, repeated in a regular manner and open to the public. Festivals differ from special events as they occur on a regular basis, whereas ‘a special event is a onetime or infrequently occurring event outside the normal range/program or activities of the sponsoring or organising body’ (Getz 1997). Although festival types and themes may differ, they have some characteristics in common. For instance, regardless of the theme of a festival, all of themhave similar stakeholders, i.e. organisations, audiences, exhibitors, sponsors (financiers), media, etc. Despite growing research interest in festivals, little...

Dvadeseta obljetnica književnog rada Jasne Horvat poticajem je za uvid u nesvakidašnji književni opus osječke znanstvenice i multimedijske umjetnice. Početak književnog rada Jasne Horvat seže u 2002. godinu i objavu Izgubljene vile - zbirke dramatiziranih tekstova nadahnutih hrvatskom mitologijom. Predstavljanje Izgubljene vile prvi je javni književni nastup Jasne Horvat, a upriličen je 28. studenog 2002. godine u osječkom Dječjem kazalištu Branka Mihaljevića povodom obilježavanja Dana grada Osijeka. Važne odlike spisateljskog opusa Jasne Horvat leže u sposobnosti uočavanja fenomena koji nas određuju, njihovu analitičkom pristupu, a potom pripovijedanju visoko estetičnim i konceptualnim načinom. U književnoj osobnoj iskaznici Jasne Horvat umjesto njezina duhovnoga boravišta upisane su teme koje je književno, likovno i multimedijski oblikovala za čitateljsku javnost.
Why churches in some democratic nations wield enormous political power while churches in other democracies don't In some religious countries, churches have drafted constitutions, restricted abortion, and controlled education. In others, church influence on public policy is far weaker. Why? Nations under God argues that where religious and national identities have historically fused, churches gain enormous moral authority—and covert institutional access. These powerful churches then shape policy in backrooms and secret meetings instead of through open democratic channels such as political parties or the ballot box. Through an in-depth historical analysis of six Christian democracies that sh...
