Transmedial Aspects of the Film Adaptations of Milan Kundera’s Works
No full textOvaj diplomski rad razmatra odnos književnosti i filma kroz proces prijenosa književnog djela u filmski medij na primjerima adaptacija djela Milana Kundere. Analiza se usredotočuje na roman Nepodnošljiva lakoća postojanja i filmsku adaptaciju Philipa Kaufmana, zatim na pripovijetku Nitko se neće smijati i njezinu jugoslavensku verziju u režiji Silvija Petranovića, kao i na različite ekranizacije pripovijetke Lažni autostop koje su ostvarili Tamara Kostrešević, Darian Lane i Marco David Calce. Njome se pokazuje kako se Kunderine knjževne preokupacije transformiraju u skladu s odlukama pojedinog redatelja, mogućnostima filmskog medija i društveno-povijesnim kontekstom njihova nastanka. Posebna pažnja pridaje se razlikama u pripovjednim strategijama, tretmanu prostora, oblikovanju likova i ulozi glazbe. Opći je zaključak da adaptacije nisu pitanje pukog prijenosa ili vjernosti, već prostor kreativne reinterpretacije te dijaloga književnog i filmskog izraza, pri čemu se Kunderino djelo pokazuje pogodnim za adaptiranje.This thesis examines the relationship between literature and film through the process of transferring a literary work into the cinematic medium, using adaptations of Milan Kundera’s works as case studies. The analysis focuses on the novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Philip Kaufman’s film adaptation, on the short story Nobody Will Laugh and its Yugoslav version directed by Silvije Petranović, as well as on various screen adaptations of the short story The Hitchhiking Game by Tamara Kostrešević, Darian Lane, and Marco David Calce. It demonstrates how Kundera’s literary preoccupations are transformed in accordance with each director’s choices, the possibilities of the film medium, and the socio-historical context of their creation. Particular attention is devoted to differences in narrative strategies, the treatment of space, character construction, and the role of music. The general conclusion is that adaptations are not merely a matter of transfer or fidelity, but rather a space of creative reinterpretation and of dialogue between literary and cinematic expression, with Kundera’s works proving especially suitable for adaptation
The role of spacioception in mastering space and speech during dancing
No full textRad ispituje važnost spaciocepcije tijekom plesanja, osmišljavanja plesne koreografije te kontroliranja govora i disanja gdje su najveći izvor informacija Guberina (1986), Pansini (1989) i Runjić (2021). Iznose se definicije najbitnijih pojmova ovog rada - spaciocepcija, govor, disanje i ples. Umijeće plesa je opisano pomoću Studd i Cox (2019) koje su se bavile definiranjem plesa i Newlove i Dalby (2004) koji definiraju pojam koreografija, koreutika te predstavljaju Rudolfa Labana kao važno lice na plesnoj sceni. Konačno, rad se bavi odnosom plesa s govorom, prostorom i disanjem.
Pomoću anketiranja plesača u dobi od 15 do 30 godina ispituje se važnost spaciocepcije tijekom plesanja, osmišljavanja plesne koreografije te kontroliranja govora i disanja. Također, problematiziraju se načini na koje plesači svladavaju prostor u kojem plešu te kako kontroliraju svoj govor i disanje tijekom plesanja. Prema kvalitativnoj i kvantitativnoj analizi podataka predstavljaju se rješenja za svladavanje prostora i govora tijekom plesanja.This paper examines the importance of spacioception during dancing, creating choreography and controlling speech and breathing, where Guberina (1986), Pansini (1989) and Runjić (2021) are the main source of information. Descriptions of the most important concepts of this work are presented - spacioception, speech, breathing and dance. The art of dance is described by Studd and Cox (2019), who offer the definition of dance, and Newlove and Dalby (2004), who define the term choreography, choreutics, and present Rudolf Laban as an important figure within the dance scene. Finally, the paper deals with the relationship between dance and speech, space and breathing.
Using a survey of dancers aged 15 to 30, the importance of spacioception during dancing, creating dance choreography, and controlling speech and breathing is examined. The ways in which dancers master the space in which they dance and how they control their speech and breathing while dancing are also problematized. According to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data, solutions for mastering space and speech during dancing are presented
Mihovil Keserić's "Isocratis orationes duae"
No full textRad se bavi knjižicom "Isocratis orationes duae", tiskanom u Bologni početkom 16. stoljeća, koja sadrži latinski prijevod dvaju govora atenskog govornika Isokrata, u obradi mađarskog humanista Mihovila Keserića. Rad obuhvaća životopise obojice autora, povijesni kontekst te značaj njihovih djela, kao i sadržaj samih govora. U središnjem dijelu rada provedena je usporedna analiza grčkog izvornika i latinskog prijevoda govora "Nikoklu", s naglaskom na stilske i jezične osobitosti te na Keserićeve prevoditeljske postupke. Na kraju je izneseno i mišljenje o mogućnosti primjene obrađenih tekstova u nastavi
Iskra: an authorial perspective on ethnographic film
No full textOvaj diplomski rad bavi se problematikom autorstva u etnografskom filmu kroz povijesni i teorijski okvir vizualne antropologije te analizu filma Iskra (2023), razvijenog u sklopu radionice „Etnografski eksperimenti“ Kinokluba Zagreb. Rad pruža pregled razvoja etnografskog filma, njegovih glavnih odrednica i paradigmi, s naglaskom na pitanje autora i promjene u shvaćanju autorstva tijekom povijesti discipline. Posebno se razmatra odnos između znanstvenih kriterija etnografije i estetskih odlika filma te etičke implikacije prikazivanja Drugoga. Cilj rada je prikazati i analizirati načine na koje se autorstvo konstruira i osporava, evaluirati njegovu relevantnost u povijesnim i suvremenim primjerima te pokazati kako se teorijske premise mogu primijeniti na analizu konkretnog filma. Metodološki okvir temelji se na proučavanju literature vizualne antropologije te na osobnom iskustvu autora u procesu istraživanja, snimanja, montiranja i prikazivanja filma.This thesis explores the issue of authorship in ethnographic film through the historical and theoretical framework of visual anthropology and the analysis of the film Iskra (2023), created within the „Ethnographic Experiments“ workshop at Kinoklub Zagreb. It offers an overview of the development of ethnographic cinema, its main paradigms, with emphasis on authorship and the shifts in its interpretation throughout the history. The thesis examines the relationship between the scientific criteria of ethnography and the aesthetic qualities of film, as well as the ethical implications of representing the Other. The aim is to analyze how authorship is constructed and contested, to assess its relevance in historical and contemporary contexts, and to demonstrate how theoretical premises can be applied to the analysis of a specific film. The methodological framework combines a review of visual anthropology literature with the author’s own experience in researching, filming, editing, and presenting the work
Transmission of Intangible Cultural Heritage Based on the Example of Associations in the Krapina-Zagorje County
No full textU ovom diplomskom radu cilj je etnografski istražiti i analizirati načine prenošenja nematerijalne kulturne baštine putem djelovanja udruga. U fokusu su izabrane udruge iz Krapinsko-zagorske županije: Kajkaviana iz Donje Stubice, Oroslavski vez iz Oroslavja i Kostelska pištola iz Pregrade. Kajkaviana u svojem djelovanju naglasak stavlja na prenošenje i očuvanje kajkavskog jezika, Oroslavski vez bavi se tradicijskim vezom, a Kostelska pištola je nositelj kulturnog dobra uskrsnog pucanja streljanja iz pištola u Kostelu. U radu se predstavlja djelovanje navedenih udruga u prenošenju nematerijalne kulturne baštine s posebnim naglaskom na raznovrsnost i dinamiku prijenosa te prepoznavanje dionika u tim procesima. Analiza pokazuje važnost entuzijazma pojedinaca, ovisnost rada udruga o širim kulturnim politikama i mogućnostima financiranja, mnogostruke uloge koje udruge imaju u kulturnom i društvenom životu te njihovu važnost u kompleksnom i višeslojnom procesu prenošenja nematerijalne kulturne baštine.This thesis aims to ethnographically explore and analyse the transmission of intangible cultural heritage through the activities of local associations. The research focuses on selected associations from the Krapina-Zagorje County: Kajkaviana from Donja Stubica, Oroslavski vez from Oroslavje, and Kostelska pištola from Pregrada. Kajkaviana emphasizes the preservation and transmission of the Kajkavian dialect, Oroslavski vez is dedicated to traditional embroidery, while Kostelska pištola is the official bearer of the intangible cultural heritage related to the Easter ritual of gunfire salutes in Kostel. The study presents the work of these associations in transmitting intangible cultural heritage, with particular attention to the diversity and dynamics of transmission practices, as well as the identification of key participants involved in these processes. The research demonstrates the importance of individual enthusiasm, the dependence of associations on broader cultural policies and funding opportunities, the multiple roles these organizations play in cultural and social life, and their significance in the complex and multilayered process of transmitting intangible cultural heritage
Ethical issues of artificial intelligence - identity, otherness and the environment
No full textUmjetna inteligencija je od ranih dana računala i znanstvene fantastike koncept koji je očaravao ljudski um, ideja da možemo napraviti nešto što je poput nas, ali je sastavljeno od čipova i matičnih ploča, mozak koji smo mi napravili te time stavili sebe u ulogu stvaratelja, mogući način da dostignemo besmrtnost, pomoć pri razvitku druge tehnologije, čak i sposobnost umjetne inteligencije da samu sebe razvija i poboljšava. Ideja da možemo napraviti umjetno biće koje će učiti i rasti poput nas je opojna, i tako je umjetna inteligencija dobila svečano mjesto u našem tehnološkom razvoju. Ne samo da je uspješno osvojila znanstvenike već je ostavila nevjerojatan trag i u popularnoj kulturi. No uz razvoj discipline i snova pozitivnog utjecaja na svijet koji bi mogla imati, postoje i strahovi koji se vide ne samo u radovima filozofa i inženjera već i neki nebulozniji strahovi koje možemo vidjeti u popularnoj kulturi poput neslavnog Skynet-a, glavnog zlikovca franšize Terminator. Možda ćemo se pozvati na neke takve fantastične ideje o tome kako bi se umjetna inteligencija mogla oteti kontroli, no većinski ćemo se posvetiti stvarnim i trenutnim problemima koje umjetna inteligencija predstavlja za nas koji trenutno živimo i one koji će tek postojati. Raspravljati ćemo o raznim negativnim utjecajima koje umjetna inteligencija trenutno ima na razvoj i dobrobit pojedinca, zajednice i planete na kojoj živimo.
„S porastom moći, međutim, događa se tragična antiteza: golema moć suvremene tehnike pokazuje se nepredvidivom i izmiče kontroli te čovjek biva uhvaćen u njezinu logiku kao sudbinu.“ (Katinić Pleić, 2023: 45)Artificial Intelligence has been a concept that has been captivating the human mind since the early days of computers and science fiction, this idea that we can create something that is much like us and yet assembled from chips and mother boards, a brain that we have created and therefore put ourselves into the role of the creator, a possible path towards immortality, an assistant for creating other technology, even the possibility of artificial intelligence to improve and develop itself. The idea that we can create an artificial being that will grow and learn like us is intoxicating, and as such artificial intelligence has claimed a place of honour in our technological advancement. Not only has it successfully captivated scientists, but it has also left an irrefutable mark on popular culture. However, with the development of the discipline and dreams of the positive impacts it could have on the world, there are also fears that aren't present only in the works of philosophers and engineers, but some more nebulous fears that we can see in popular culture, such as the infamous Skynet, the main villain of the Terminator franchise. We may call upon some such fantastical ideas of how artificial intelligence might get out of control, but for the most part we shall dedicate ourselves to the real and present problems and dangers that artificial intelligence poses to us, who are currently alive, and those who are yet to exist. We will discuss the various negative influence that artificial intelligence currently has on the development and well-being of the individual, society and the planet we live on.
“With the growth of power, however, happens a tragic antithesis: the enormous power of modern technics turns out to be unpredictable and slips out of control and man becomes caught in its logic as destiny.” (Katinić Pleić, 2023: 45
A Contribution to the Study of Ancient Osor: Terra Sigillata from the Rescue Excavations 2022. – 2024.
No full textOvaj diplomski rad bavi se antičkim gradom Osorom (Apsorus), jednim od ključnih središta Kvarnerskog zaljeva. Analiziraju se povijesno-geografski kontekst, antički pisani izvori i rezultati arheoloških istraživanja s posebnim naglaskom na urbanistički razvoj i funkciju Osora kao pomorskog središta. Posebna pažnja posvećena je keramičkim nalazima, osobito teri sigilati, čija je analiza provedena na materijalu pronađenom tijekom zaštitnih istraživanja u Zoni A (2022.–2024.). Ukupno je obrađeno 39 ulomaka, svrstanih prema tipologijama H. Dragendorffa i E. Ritterlinga, među kojima se ističe ulomak s pečatom keramičara SVRVS. Raznolikost tipoloških oblika i podrijetla ukazuje na široku trgovačku mrežu i uključenost Osora u mediteranske komunikacijske tokove. Rad time potvrđuje značaj Osora kao urbanog, trgovačkog i kulturnog središta antičkog Kvarnera.This thesis focuses on the ancient town of Osor (Apsorus), one of the key centers of the Kvarner Bay. It examines the historical-geographical context, ancient written sources, and the results of archaeological excavations, with a special emphasis on urban development and Osor’s role as a maritime hub. Particular attention is given to ceramic finds, especially terra sigillata, analyzed from the material discovered during the protective excavations in Zone A (2022–2024). A total of 39 fragments were studied and classified according to Dragendorff and Ritterling typologies, including a fragment stamped with the name of the potter SVRVS. The diversity of typologies and provenances indicates wide trade connections and Osor’s integration into the Mediterranean communication network. The study thus highlights Osor’s significance as an urban, commercial, and cultural center of the ancient Kvarner region
Lexical “chronisms” in the collection "Pod starimi krovovi" by Ksaver Šandor Gjalski
No full textU ovome radu prikazuje se vremenska raslojenost hrvatskoga leksika na primjeru zbirke pripovijedaka "Pod starimi krovovi" Ksavera Šandora Gjalskog. Iako je Gjalskijev leksik današnjem čitatelju uglavnom razumljiv i lako prohodan te su mnogi njegovi leksemi aktivni u suvremenome općeuporabnom sloju hrvatskoga standardnog jezika, pomnije čitanje zbirke otkriva niz leksema koji su prešli u pasivni sloj leksika, odnosno ne rabe se u svakodnevnoj komunikaciji te su njihova značenja današnjim govornicima hrvatskoga jezika djelomično ili potpuno nepoznata. U početnom dijelu rada daje se pregled života i književnoga rada samoga autora s naglaskom na njegovu prvu zbirku "Pod starimi krovovi" i njezina reizdanja. Slijedi povijesno-politički i jezični kontekst Hrvatske u 19. stoljeću koji omogućuje uviđanje utjecaja na oblikovanje Gjalskijeva jezika u spomenutoj zbirci. U nastavku je protumačen koncept vremenske raslojenosti leksika podjelom kronizama (vremenski obilježenih leksema) na arhaizme i historizme. Spomenuta je podjela potkrijepljena rječnikom kronizama sastavljenim od leksičkih jedinica pronađenih u pripovijetkama iz Gjalskijeve zbirke, koje su klasificirane u skupine arhaizmi i historizmi te razložene na manje podskupine. Osnovni je kriterij podjele arhaizama u podskupine prepoznavanje elemenata po kojima se razlikuju od svojih suvremenih leksičkih zamjena, a historizmi su klasificirani u značenjske skupine prema vrsti referenata koje su nekoć označavali. Na temelju navedenog korpusa analizira se Gjalskijev leksik prema određenim kategorijama (grafija, ortografija, fonologija i druge) prema odstupanjima od današnje norme hrvatskoga jezika.This paper shows the temporal stratification of the Croatian lexicon exemplified by the collection of short stories "Pod starimi krovovi" by Ksaver Šandor Gjalski. Although Gjalski's lexis is mostly comprehensible and easy for today's readers, and many of his lexemes are in the contemporary, active lexical stratum of the standard Croatian language, a closer reading of the collection reveals a number of lexemes that have passed into the passive stratum, i.e. they are not used in everyday communication and today's Croatian speakers are partially or completely unfamiliar with them. The initial part of the paper provides an overview of the author’s life and literary work with an emphasis on his first collection "Pod starimi krovovi" and its editions. It is followed by an exploration of the historical-political and linguistic context of 19th century Croatia, which gives insight into the influences on Gjalski's language used in the collection. Following this is an explanation of the concept of temporal lexical stratification by dividing “chronisms” (time-marked lexemes) into archaisms and historical words. The division is supported by a corpus composed of lexical “chronisms” found in several short stories from Gjalski's collection, which are classified into archaisms and historical words and further broken down into subgroups. The basic criterion for subdividing archaisms is the recognition of elements by which they differ from their lexical replacements, and historical words are classified into meaning groups according to the type of referents they once denoted. Based on the aforementioned corpus, Gjalski's lexis is analyzed through certain categories (orthography, phonology, etc.) in comparison to deviations from the present-day norm of the Croatian language
The consequences of the earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic on the library services of the Children and Youth Department of the Medveščak Library
No full textKnjižnice su od davnina bile ključne institucije za očuvanje znanja, promicanje kulture i obrazovanja, te su često smatrane sigurnim prostorima za zajednicu. Dječje knjižnice zauzimaju posebno mjesto u društvu kao prostori gdje se njeguje ljubav prema čitanju, potiče kreativnost i omogućuje socijalizacija među najmlađima. Rad razmatra izazove s kojima su se knjižnice u Hrvatskoj suočile tijekom pandemije COVID-19 i prirodnih katastrofa, poput potresa, te kako su ove institucije nastojale prilagoditi svoje usluge kako bi ostale relevantne i dostupne zajednici. Posebno se usmjerava na primjer Knjižnice Medveščak, koja je bila pogođena s obje katastrofe, te na značaj igraonice i igroteke kao ključnih prostora za obrazovanje i socijalizaciju djece. Odjel za djecu i mladež Knjižnice Medveščak ima dugu i značajnu povijest koja prati razvoj same Knjižnice i promjene u društvenom okruženju. Istraživanje na Odjelu za djecu i mladež Knjižnice Medveščak pokazalo je vrlo zanimljive rezultate. Primjetan je veliki pad u broju posudbi i broju posjeta korisnika Knjižnice koji se više nego prepolovio. U 2023. godini obje brojke bilježe porast, ali još nisu dostigle razine prije svih nemilih događaja. Međutim, danas, četiri godine poslije nemilih događaja pandemije i potresa, Odjel za djecu i mladež još uvijek ne radi punim kapacitetom.Libraries have long been key institutions for preserving knowledge, promoting culture and education, and are often considered safe spaces for the community. Children's libraries hold a special place in society as spaces where a love for reading is nurtured, creativity is encouraged, and socialization among the youngest is facilitated. This paper examines the challenges faced by libraries in Croatia during the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters, such as earthquakes, and how these institutions attempted to adjust their services to remain relevant and accessible to the community. The focus is specifically on the example of the Medveščak Library, which was affected by both disasters, as well as the significance of playrooms and play libraries as key spaces for children's education and socialization.
The Children's and Youth Department of the Medveščak Library has a long and significant history that follows the development of the library itself and changes in the social environment. Research conducted in the Children's and Youth Department of the Medveščak Library has yielded very interesting results. There was a noticeable significant decrease in the number of loans and visits, with the number of visitors being more than halved. In 2023, both figures saw an increase, but they have not yet reached the levels prior to the unfortunate events. However, even today, four years after the unfortunate events of the pandemic and the earthquake, the Children's and Youth Department is still not operating at full capacity
The concept of suffering (dukkha) in early Buddhism
No full textBuddhizam, kao prvenstveno etičko učenje, pojavio se na prijelazu iz šestog u peto stoljeće prije nove ere, na sjeveroistoku indijskog potkontinenta. Ime je dobio po epitetu buddha (hrv. probuđeni), kojim se oslovljavalo njegovog utemeljitelja Siddhartu Gautmu. On je sam isticao da njegov nauk razotkriva i prilagođava stare puteve ljudskog spoznavanja. Potaknut vlastitom iskustvenom spoznajom, Buddha temelji svoju prvu propovijed (dhammacakkappavattana sutta) na nauku o četiri plemenite istine (cattāri ariyasaccāni), u čijoj srži leži koncept patnje, u koji je uronjena cijela ljudska egzistencija. S obzirom na to da Buddha gleda na svijet kao na neprekidnu struju promjenjivih pojava, koje za temelj nemaju ništa postojano, i da za njega postoji jasnoća o tome da svaka, pa i najveća ugoda jednom ide svome kraju, on promatra život kao patnju (dukkha). Patnja se poistovjećuje sa prolaznošću, zato što čovjek želi ono što je nestalno, promjenjivo i propadljivo. Prema tome, želja (kāma) je ta koje uzrukuje patnju. Kako svi činioci postojanja nastaju da bi opet nestali, oni su bez “sopstva”, tj. bez postojana i samostojnog bitka (anattā). Buddha poriče postojanje ātmana, te kao konačni cilj ističe konačno utrnuće i ugasnuće (nibbāna), govoreći da je u oslobođenju od ovozemljskog života i prestanku želje, koja vodi do uzastopnih prerađanja, jedini spas. Cilj ovog rada je, iz perspektive indijske filozofije, obuhvatiti upravo taj koncept patnje, iznesen u ranom buddhizmu, kroz nauk o četiri plemenite istine.Buddhism, as primarily an ethical teaching, appeared at the turn of the sixth to fifth century BC, in the northeast of the Indian subcontinent. It got its name from the epithet buddha (Croatian: awakened), which was used to address its founder Siddharta Gautma. He himself emphasized that his teaching exposes and adjusts the old ways of human cognition. Inspired by his own experiential knowledge, the Buddha bases his first sermon (dhammacakkappavattana sutta) on the doctrine of the four noble truths (cattāri ariyasaccāni), at the core of which lies the concept of suffering, in which the entire human existence is immersed. Given that the Buddha sees the world as a continuous stream of changing phenomena, which have nothing permanent as a foundation, and that for him there is clarity that every, even the greatest pleasure comes to an end, he views life as suffering (dukkha). Suffering is identified with transience, because man wants what is impermanent, changeable and perishable. Therefore, it is desire (kāma) that causes suffering. As all factors of existence arise only to disappear again, they are without "self", i.e. without constant and independent battle (anattā). The Buddha denies the existence of ātman, and as the final goal points out final numbness and extinction (nibbāna), saying that the only salvation lies in liberation from earthly life and the cessation of desire, which leads to successive rebirths. The aim of this paper is, from the perspective of Indian philosophy, to encompass precisely this concept of suffering, presented in early Buddhism, through the doctrine of the four noble truths
