Umjetnost kao ekozofija: Hibridne prakse u ekološkoj integraciji
No full textTeza ovog rada počiva na tome da suvremene hibridne umjetničke prakse teže transformaciji svoje svrhe k održavanju ravnoteže između političkih i ekoloških infrastruktura, čineći tako društvena i pitanja životne sredine uočljivim i zagovarajući načine ljudskog postojanja u integrativnom odnosu sa svojim okruženjem. U doba koje se suočava s razornim posljedicama tehnološkog razvoja, zloupotrebom znanosti u svrhu profita i antagonizmima ekonomske dinamike, umjetnička djela predlažu alternativne i raznovrsne načine postojanja unutar kolektiva, u pokušaju da rekonfiguriraju veze između ljudske subjektivnosti i vanjskog svijeta. Odabrana studija slučaja za ovaj tekst umjetnički je projekt s nazivom Suočavanje s vegetalnom drugošću: Fitoteratologija čiji je autor Špela Petrič. Dva argumenta na koja se ovaj rad fokusira jesu koncept ekozofije Félixa Guattarija kao okvir za hibridne umjetničke strategije i argument Donne Haraway iz knjige When Species Meet o potrebi da se destabiliziraju tradicionalne hijerarhije moći među vrstama. Cilj ovog rada jest pokazati kako umjetnost ima moć da destabilizira antropocentrične perspektive. U tekstu se rabi transdisciplinarni pristup, a primijenjene su istraživačke metode: analiza, sinteza, opservacija i komparativna analiza tekstova.The thesis statement of this paper revolves around the idea that contemporary hybrid art practices aspire to transforming their purpose towards sustaining a balance between political and ecological infrastructures, thereby making societal and environmental issues more discernible and advocating for integrative ways of human existence within the environment. In an era marked by the devastating consequences of technological advancement, misuse of science for profit, and the antagonisms of economic dynamics, hybrid artworks offer alternative ways of existence within collectives, striving to reconfigure the connections between human subjectivity and the external world. The case study explored here is an art project by Špela Petrič, titled Confronting Vegetal Otherness: Phytoteratology. This paper centres on two primary arguments: Félix Guattari’s concept of ecosophy as a framework for hybrid art strategies, and Donna Haraway’s perspective from When Species Meet about the necessity to disrupt traditional power hierarchies among species. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how art has power to destabilize anthropocentric viewpoints. A transdisciplinary approach guides this text, with research methods including analysis, synthesis, observation, and comparative analysis
The Utopian Space between Mitteleuropa and the Balkans in Handke’s Travelogue Once again for Thucydides
No full textDieser Beitrag setzt sich mit dem utopischen Raum zwischen Mitteleuropaund dem Balkan in Handkes Reisebericht Noch einmal für Thukydidesauseinander. Anders als die Historiker und Schriftsteller, die sichdarum bemühen, die Idiosynkrasie entweder des einen oder des anderenRaums zu erhellen, schafft Handke einen Zwischenraum mit eigenen Gesetzmäßigkeitenund Eigentümlichkeiten, ja einen dynamischen Raumim Sinne de Certeaus, der von mannigfaltigen Beziehungen nach innenund außen erfüllt ist. Handke offenbart die Idiosynkrasie des Raumsdurch die Metonymie, mit der die historischen und kulturellen Schichtenals gleichgeordnet und gleichzeitig geschildert werden. Zugleich lehrt dieLektüre den Leser beim Reisen die Orte als dynamische Räume zu erlebenund mit dem Text zu interagieren, ihn immer neu zu lesen und neuenBedeutungen nachzugehen.This article discusses the utopian space between Mitteleuropa and theBalkans in Handke’s travelogue Once Again for Thucydides. Unlikehistorians and writers who aspire to cast light on the idiosyncrasy ofeither the one or the other space, Handke creates an in-between spacewith its own laws and peculiarities, indeed a dynamic space in deCerteau’s sense, filled with manifold external and internal relations.Handke reveals the idiosyncrasy of this space through metonymy, depictingall the historical layers as coordinated and simultaneous. Atthe same time, the text teaches its readers to experience the stations ontheir journeys as dynamic spaces, and to interact directly with the text,to always read it anew, and to pursue new meanings

German Language in the Comprehensive High School of the Multicultural City of Osijek as a Transmitter of Central European Cultural Values - A Historical Approach
No full textMehrsprachigkeit und Multikulturalität sind untrennbare Bestandteile der Identität der Stadt Osijek, in welcher die deutsche Sprache eine eigentümliche Rolle ausgeübt hat. In der Einleitung dieser Arbeit wird das multikulturelle und mehrsprachige Milieu der Stadt Osijek vom 17. bis zum 20. Jahrhundert als Grundlage der Entwicklung des essekerischen Dialekts dargestellt. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht die deutsche Sprache als einer der Träger der mitteleuropäischen Werte, Kultur und Weltanschauung. Jene Werte haben Lebensweise der einheimischen Bevölkerung und Schwung im kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Leben der Stadt im zweiten Teil des 19. und anfangs des 20. Jh. intensiv beeinflusst. Obwohl um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts Kroatisch zur offiziellen Sprache erklärt wurde, war Deutsch im mehrsprachigen Milieu von Osijek in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jh. noch immer die gesprochene Stadtsprache. In seinem Klassischen (Großen) Gymnasium galt Deutsch lange Zeit als Unterrichtssprache, und, abhängig von der Muttersprache seiner Schüler, war es ihre Erst- oder Zweitsprache. Auf Grund der im Museum der Stadt Osijek und im Staatsarchiv im Fundus des klassischen Gymnasiums aufbewahrten Schuldokumentation werden die Lehrinhalte und die obligatorische Lektüre im Fach „Deutsche Sprache“ an diesem Gymnasium erforscht und analysiert. Das Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist es festzustellen, welche Werte und Weltanschauungen den Schülern durch den Deutschunterricht vermittelt wurden. Eine interessante Quelle der Informationen über die Werte und Erziehungsziele, die damals im klassischen Gymnasium von Osijek gefördert wurden, stellen die Themen der obligatorischen Aufsätze in deutscher Sprache dar, deren Listen in regelmäßiägen jährlichen Schulberichten des Gymnasiums zu finden sind. Im abschließenden Teil der Arbeit werden auch einige negative Züge des Lebens in einer multikulturellen Stadt erörtert, wo in verschiedenen sozialpolitischen Umständen um Übermacht gekämpft wurde.Multilingualism and multiculturalism are inseparable parts of the identity of the city of Osijek, in which the German language played a unique role. In the introduction to this paper, the multicultural and multilingual milieu of the city of Osijek from the 17th to the 20th century is presented as the socio-linguistic ground for the development of the Essek dialect. The focus of the investigation is the German language as one of the carriers of Central European values, culture and worldview. Those values strongly influenced the way of life of the local population and the swing in the cultural and economic life of the city in the second part of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Although Croatian was declared the official language around the mid-19th century, German was still the spoken city language in the multilingual milieu of Osijek in the first decades of the 20th century. For a long time, German was the language of instruction in its classical (large) high school and, depending on the mother tongue of his students, it was their first or second language. Based on the school documentation kept in the Osijek City Museum and in the State Archive in the fundus of the classical high school, the teaching content and the obligatory reading in the subject “German language” at this high school are researched and analyzed. The aim of this study is to determine which values and worldviews were conveyed to the students through their German lessons. An interesting source of information about the values and educational goals promoted at that time in the classical Osijek high school are the subjects of compulsory essays in German, the lists of which can be found in the regular annual school reports of the high school. In the concluding part of the work, some negative features of life in a multicultural city in different socio-political circumstances are discussed as well
The Reception of the Ancient Greek Philosophy in G. W. F. Hegel in the Context of Philhellenism
No full textIn diesem Beitrag soll ein Zusammenhang zwischen dem Philhellenismus des 19. Jahrhunderts und der Rezeption der altgriechischen Philosophie bei Hegel als herausragendem Vertreter des deutschen Idealismus hergestellt werden. Die Grundlage dieser vergleichenden Betrachtung besteht darin, dass dieses Kapitel deutscher philosophiehistorischer Aneignung seine Entstehung sowie seine konkrete Ausgestaltung einer Zeit verdankt, in der das vielseitige und umfassende kulturelle Phänomen des Philhellenismus seine Hochkonjunktur erlebte. In dieser Hinsicht können demnach Parallelen und Ähnlichkeiten zwischen philosophischer Rezeption und den allgemeinen, praktisch übergeordneten Tendenzen des Philhellenismus zum Vorschein kommen. Besondere Bedeutung kommt dabei der Hegelschen Rekonstruktion der philosophischen Vergangenheit Griechenlands insoweit zu, als es sich um eine im Grunde systematische Darstellung handelt, die – zumal im Hinblick auf relevante politische Anschauungen – dem seit der Aufklärung maßgeblichen Fortschrittsgedanken verpflichtet bleibt und diesen konkret zu rechtfertigen sucht.This article attempts to establish a connection between 19th century philhellenism and the reception of ancient Greek philosophy by Hegel as an outstanding representative of German idealism. The factual basis of this comparative analysis is that this chapter of philosophical-historical appropriation in the German-speaking world owes its origin and its concrete form to an era in which the multifaceted and comprehensive cultural phenomenon of philhellenism experienced its boom. In this respect, parallels and similarities between philosophical reception and the general, practically superordinate tendencies of philhellenism can therefore emerge. Hegel’s reconstruction of Greece’s philosophical past is of particular importance in that it is a fundamentally systematic account that – especially with regard to relevant political views – remains committed to the idea of progress that has been decisive since the Enlightenment, while the German philosopher also seeks to justify it in concrete terms

Adriatic Stereoscopies: einrich Noé and the Literary Construction of Dalmatia
No full textIl saggio analizza Dalmatien und seine Inselwelt (1870) di Heinrich Noé come esempio di scrittura di viaggio tardo-ottocentesca in cui funzione documentaria e costruzione estetico-ideologica si intrecciano. Attraverso la metafora dello stereoscopio, Noé elabora una rappresentazione della Dalmazia fondata sulla frammentazione visiva e sull’esclusione della voce dell’altro. Paesaggi e figure umane si trasformano in immagini ornamentali, destinate a un pubblico mitteleuropeo desideroso di conferme identitarie. La scrittura odeporica partecipa così alla creazione di un “Oriente interno”, inscrivendo la differenza culturale in un regime di visibilità estetizzante e gerarchico. Il confronto con autori come Kohl e Franzos consente di cogliere la specificità del dispositivo rappresentativo noéano, collocato all’incrocio tra cultura visuale, orientalismo e costruzione discorsiva dello spazio imperiale.The essay examines Dalmatien und seine Inselwelt (1870) by Heinrich Noé, considering it a paradigmatic example of late-nineteenth-century travel writing, in which aesthetic representation, imperial ideology, and the construction of otherness are tightly interwoven. The metaphor of the Stereoskop shapes the structure of the work: a sequence of isolated visual tableaux in which Dalmatia is not described to be understood, but rather to be observed and classified. Landscape and human figures take on the form of ornamental images, and the experience of travel turns into an exercise in controlled vision. The rhetorical strategies employed – fragmentation, the exclusion of the other’s voice, and the reduction of local culture to visual folklore – respond to the expectations of a bourgeois Central European readership that, through the act of narration, seeks confirmation of its own symbolic centrality. The analysis highlights how Noé’s writing contributes to the construction of an “internal Orient”, projecting cultural difference into a closed textual space that serves the affirmation of perceptual hegemony. Comparison with authors such as Johann Georg Kohl and Karl Emil Franzos underscores the distinctive character of Noé’s vision, situated at the intersection of visual art, Orientalism, and the rhetoric of the exotic. The Dalmatia that emerges is not a territory to be explored but a repertoire of images already arranged for the gaze, turning representation itself into an act of symbolic appropriation
Open infrastructure for research integrity: leveraging scholarly metadata as trust signals
No full textJournal articles and books are generally considered the traditional published outputs that result at the end of the scholarly process and constitute the scholarly record. With rapid advancements in scholarly communication, the type and complexity of published outputs have increased significantly in recent times to include works such as datasets, software, conference presentations, as well as the elements that go into the creation of these outputs (e.g., peer reviews and preprints) (Lavoie et al, 2014). As such, the definition of the scholarly record has expanded to include published outputs, the inputs, the relationships between them, as well as the context around each output that can be inferred from the associated metadata. Preserving the integrity of such a comprehensive and constantly evolving scholarly record is a key component of the overall efforts to preserve research integrity. Open scholarly infrastructure plays an important role in this undertaking by providing trust signals that enable the assessment of the trustworthiness of published outputs. Crossref is a not-for-profit membership organisation that provides open scholarly infrastructure to enable the scholarly community to provide and deposit metadata about the content that they produce. This open and rich metadata provides a framework for detecting trustworthiness, thereby helping to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record
Digital Library of the Belgrade City Library in the service of Citizen Science
No full textCitizen science allows participants to directly contribute to research, increase their understanding of science, and learn about issues facing the entire community. However, a significant concern related to practising citizen science is the ability of amateur scientists, i.e., citizen science volunteers, to provide quality and accurate data. From a societal angle, it is essential to engage with societal actors in various formats that suit participants, evaluate two-way learning outcomes, and develop the transformative role of science communication. (3) Public libraries and their digital collections have an important role in fostering citizen science. By curating and providing access to verifiable sources of information public libraries empower citizens and non-academic researchers to collaborate on research projects, thereby democratising knowledge and promoting a culture of lifelong learning and scientific inquiry
