W poszukiwaniu śladów przeszłości – komiks jako medium małej i wielkiej historii (przykład powieści graficznych Nie pojedziemy zobaczyć Auschwitz Jérémiego Dresa i Zaduszki Rutu Modan)
No full textIn Search of Traces of the Past: Comics as a Medium for History Great and SmallThe analysis of the article’s author focuses on the graphic novels The Property by Rutu Modan and We Won’t See Auschwitz by Jérémy Dres. Th e comics discussed deal with similar issues. Both refer to the wartime and postwar fate of Polish Jews, show military history as a factor shaping the family history of multiple generations, and touch upon issues concerning identity, Polish-Jewish relations, and national stereotypes. Through the use of comics, both authors try to preserve pieces of family history while touching upon many far more general and universal issues. Comics prove in this case to be a handy tool in the telling of intertwining histories great and small.In Search of Traces of the Past: Comics as a Medium for History Great and SmallThe analysis of the article’s author focuses on the graphic novels The Property by Rutu Modan and We Won’t See Auschwitz by Jérémy Dres.

Adaptation of Court Building: Creating a sense of Place
No full text“Contemporary art was roughly born in mid 1960’s arose in an age of questions, crisis, protest, partially realised utopias - which attest to its difference, it’s propositions and often its advocacy for new ways of looking at the world and the potential role of art in a renewed sensibility.” It was born out of artists asking and questioning the primary assumed notions of the art world. If Painting, what is painting ? If sculpture, what is sculpture? If art, what is art? If visible, what are the conditions of its visibility? Mark Pimlott, argues that this change demanded an alteration of relations not only among artists but also artists and curators, critics and audiences. “Art was thought differently, made differently, accommodated differently and would have to be looked at, differently.” However, Charlotte Klonk, an art historian argues that museums have largely been explored with a variety of forms from the exterior since 1930’s (MOMA was designed in 1930’s) however, the interior space has not much diversified and that museums became ‘blander and blander in order to be able to house the artists’ environments.’ I argue that in this process of whitening the gallery they also lost a sense of place, and an individual identity. Museums around the globe resorted to ‘a higher, cleaner, contemplative space.’Art was still displayed as something superior, something clean and something mystical, which contradicts the whole intention of contemporary art. As a design exercise to display the work of artist James Lee Byars, I developed a series of rooms that relied on geometry and proportions in search for an absolute architecture that in turn created a sublime atmosphere. The pristine, immaculate space of one white room after another created an overwhelming space for me to which I responded by two strategies, one by creating a ‘anti-space’ room, a room that acts like a breather between the different rooms of the museum and second by introducing windows to see the city beyond as a relief for the eyes as well as giving the visitor a moment of connection with the context that gallery rests in. I believe, contemporary art requires this relation to the everyday. It is very much about the public, of the public, created with an intent for the public. With this understanding I ask, “Is it possible to get traces of the city within the gallery? More so relevant to M HKA, as a museum for the Flanders, what would a museum for Flemish art look like? Buildings have always given a sense of identity, they are representations of the people that live and operate within them. What is then the language of M HKA ? Is there a possibility to arrive at a balance between the white walls and the rundown found spaces? What happens when musesums become places with active visitors ? How does the materiality support and cater to a more inclusive environment? These were some of the questions that have shaped my proposal.Contemporary Art MuseumArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Interiors Buildings Citie

Bridging the Divide through Graphic Novels: Teaching non-Jews’ Holocaust Narratives to Jewish Students
No full textThe following paper considers how integrating Holocaust graphic novels that prominently feature non-Jewish characters can be effective in introducing Jewish students to new perspectives on contemporary understandings of the Holocaust. Drawing on the results of recent studies about rising anti-Semitism and Jews\u27 concerns for their safety, feelings of insularity are understandably becoming more pervasive within the Jewish community. The author argues that in order to combat the negative aspects of this entrenchment, Jewish students need to be introduced to thoughtful and complex narratives that relate to historical anti-Semitic incidents which also model ways of building relationships between the disparate communities in the present. While very different from each other, Rutu Modan\u27s The Property and Nora Krug\u27s Belonging present these types of sophisticated engagements with the past and present and their textual and visual statements are assessed for the ways that they can help reframe Jewish understandings of the legacies of the Holocaust and for building contemporary Jewish-non-Jewish relationships
European cultural routes - routes of ancient heritage
No full textU završnom radu obrađena je tema Europskih kulturnih ruta i mogućnost razvoja novih kulturnih ruta u Hrvatskoj. Predložene su i dvije nove kulturne rute koje na inovativan način valoriziraju zajedničku europsku antičku baštinu.
Kulturni turizam obično označava putovanja koji uključuju kulturne resurse. Kultura je bitna za svaku zemlju, regiju, grad ili selo. Sam projekt Europskih kulturnih ruta se pri razvoju susreo s mnogim problemima i izazovima, ali na kraju su se vidjeli rezultati truda. Od pokretanja projekta osmišljene su 33 Europske kulturne rute. Santiago de Compostela poznata hodočasnička ruta, prvi je i vjerojatno najstariji europski kulturni itinerar čiji je glavni cilj promocija europskih vrijednosti i identiteta, valorizacija zajedničke kulturne baštine i multikulturne povijesti Europe te jačanje lokalnih identiteta i ekonomija kroz osmišljavanje inovativnih tematskih ruta.
Kulturna ruta Putevima rimskih careva je prva Europska kulturna ruta u koju se uključila i Hrvatska kao nova članica Europske unije. Autorica je razradila sličnu rutu antičke baštine koja uključuje posjet tri lokaliteta na kojima su boravili rimski carevi, Pula, Split i Vinkovci. Ova ruta je osmišljena kako bi se kvalitetnije valorizirala zajednička europska antička baština. Autorica je predložila još jedan novi antički itinerar: rutu Putevima amfiteatara, koja povezuje najpoznatije amfiteatre s obje obale Jadrana. Ruta obuhvaća četiri lokaliteta Solin, Pulu, Veronu i Rim. Svi ti lokaliteti imaju zajedničku temu, a to je amfiteatar. Razvojem ovakve rute uključene destinacije mogle bi zajedno unapređivati kulturno-turističku ponudu i kvalitetnije valorizirati elemente zajedničke europske povijesti i kulture.The final paper deals with the European cultural routes and the development of new cultural routes in Croatia. Proposed are two new cultural routes in an innovative way the valorization of a common European ancient heritage. Cultural tourism usually means a trip involving cultural resources. Culture is essential for each country, region, city or village. The project of the European cultural routes to the development met with many problems and challenges, but in the end they see the results of the effort. Since the launch of the project were designed 33 of the European Cultural Routes. Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route known, is the first and probably the oldest European cultural itinerary whose main objective is to promote European values and identity, valorisation of the common cultural heritage and multicultural history of Europe and the strengthening of local identity and economy through the creation of innovative thematic routes. Cultural routes Paths of Roman emperors is the first European cultural route, which it joined and Croatia as new members of the European Union. The author has developed a similar route of ancient heritage that includes visits to three sites where stayed Roman emperors, Pula, Split and Vinkovci. This route is designed to better evaluate the common European antique heritage. The author has proposed another new antique itinerary: route Paths amphitheatres, that connects the most famous amphitheater on both shores of the Adriatic. The route includes four locations Solin, Pula, Verona and Rome. All these sites have a common theme, and that is the amphitheater. The development of such routes included destinations could jointly promote cultural tourism offer and better evaluate the elements of a common Europea
Deconstructing the Topos of Poland as a Jewish Necropolis in Texts by Israeli Authors of the Third Post-Holocaust Generation
No full textThe paper aims at recognizing and describing the ways of deconstructing the topos of Poland as a Jewish necropolis, a process that in the last decade appears more and more often in the works of Israeli authors of the third generation after the Shoah. The generation concept – as I argue – can serve here as a useful tool for understanding the shift which occurred in the specific national context of Israeli Holocaust discourse and strongly influenced the image of Poland in Israeli literature and culture. Poland depicted as a Jewish necropolis has become one of the central motifs present in Israeli literary as well as the artistic canon of Shoah representations. As the central space where the Shoah occurred, Poland was obviously perceived as a land marked by death and formed exclusively by the experience of the Holocaust. However, in the aftermath of two major shifts that have occurred in the last decades: a meaningful change in the Israeli Holocaust discourse and the new reality of Poland after 1989, and also as a consequence of the growing time distance separating yet another generation from the events themselves, numerous authors born in Israel mostly in the 1970s and in the 1980s began approaching the above-mentioned motif critically. This tendency, one of the few typical for the third generation, is demonstrated either through the motif ’s deconstruction and subversive usage or, more radically, by employing the genre of alternate history and changing the place’s identity (e.g. Tel Aviv by Yair Chasdiel). The topos of Poland as a necropolis has therefore been turned into a part – or even a starting point – of the reflection on collective memory patterns (e.g. Kompot. The Polish-Israeli Comic Book), stereotypes (e.g. Bat Yam by Yael Ronen), and on the authors’ own roots and identity (e.g. The Property by Rutu Modan). By analyzing the abovementioned texts, I will explore the process of constant interaction occurring between collective and the individual memory, between the Israeli national perspective and Polish landscapes, between an author and space and, finally – between the category of the third generation and its representatives themselves

For this data extraction I recommend, to click always on the bottom line of the red rectangle, as there is always data available due to a dummy variable ("lin") that creates continuous data at the bottom of the active panel.

Similarly, the first bout for a given plot will be always assigned to male (if no data are present in the csv file) or based on previous data.

Development of cultural tourism in rural areas
No full textTema rada je „Razvoj kulturnog turizma u ruralnim područjima.“ U radu je stavljen naglasak na razvoj kulturnog turizma u ruralnim područjima Zagrebačke županije. Ta županija obiluje kako prirodnim, tako kulturnim resursima. Upravo zbog toga predstavlja izvrsno područje za razvitak kulturnog turizma. Cilj rada je analizirati odnos kulturne baštine i ruralnog turizma, te na primjerima prikazati specifičnosti i potencijale razvoja kulturnog turizma u ruralnim područjima. Kako bi se došlo do informacija o odnosu kulturne baštine i ruralnog turizma u Republici Hrvatskoj, provedeno je istraživanje. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako je kulturna baština temeljni element za privlačenje turista u Zagrebačku županiju, te da ima veliki potencijal za razvoj kulturnog turizma. Hrvatska ruralna područja se bore sa depopulacijom stanovništva, te bi trebalo poduzeti određene mjere da ta područja 'ožive'. Naime, u brojnim ruralnim područjima, kako u inozemstvu, tako i u Republici Hrvatskoj, postoje brojni kulturni resursi koje bi turisti voljeli turistički posjetiti. Autor rada je razradio kulturnu rutu čiji je naziv 'Stazama povijesti Zagrebačke županije.' Posjetitelji bi uživali u razgledavanju dvoraca, kušali autohtonu hranu, kupili suvenire. Kupnjom suvenira bi se svakom kupcu poklonila karta Zagrebačke županije, sa označenim hiking rutama, kako bi ih se potaknulo na ponovni dolazak. Kultura predstavlja snažan faktor u turizmu. U novije vrijeme sve je veći broj turista motiviran upravo kulturom. Kulturni turizam u ruralnim područjima turistima nudi mogućnost da prošire svoje znanje o kulturi određene destinacije, ali i da uživaju u čistom području u kojem nema gradskih gužvi.The topic of the work is „Development of cultural tourism in rural areas.“ The paper emphasizes the development of cultural tourism in the rural areas of Zagreb County. This county is rich in both natural and cultural resources. This is precisely why it represents an excellent area for the development of cultural tourism. The aim of the paper is to analyze the relationship between cultural heritage and rural tourism, and to show the specifics and potentials of cultural tourism development in rural areas using examples. In order to obtain information about the relationship between cultural heritage and rural tourism in the Republic of Croatia, research was conducted. The research results show that cultural heritage is a fundamental element for attracting tourists to Zagreb County, and that it has great potential for the development of cultural tourism. Croatian rural areas are struggling with population depopulation, and certain measures should be taken to 'revive' these areas. Namely, in numerous rural areas, both abroad and in the Republic of Croatia, there are numerous cultural resources that tourists would like to visit. The author of the paper elaborated a cultural route called „History Trails of the Zagreb County.“ Visitors would enjoy seeing the castles, tasting local food, and buying souvenirs. By purchasing a souvenir, each buyer would be given a map of Zagreb County, with marked hiking routes, to encourage them to come again. Culture is a strong factor in tourism. In recent times, an increasing number of tourists are motivated precisely by culture. Cultural tourism in rural areas offers tourists the opportunity to expand their knowledge about the culture of a certain destination, but also to enjoy a clean area where there are no city crowds
