Modern Media Phenomenon
Contemporary media culture is defined by the logic of the victorious spectacle expanding to all areas of life. Post-modern capitalism has turned everyday life and culture into entertainment with the help of the spectacular. In fact, such entertainment results in a fake sense of happiness, pop mainstream, the swallowing up alternatives and therefore the creation of a passive consumer society. The media today have a unique power of overwhelming a person with information. They enable a modern person to know much, but understand little. This discussion has cast some light on very popular reality shows, the body and sports. It concludes with a reflection on modern media, which leave a person of this age with a patchwork identity
CONTRIBUTO ALLA CONOSCENZA DEI LIBRI DI PREGHIERE DI DUBROVNIK DEL XV SECOLO
U radu se obraÄuju dva molitvenika dubrovaÄkog podrijetla, Vatikanski hrvatski molitvenik i DubrovaÄki akademijin molitvenik, u povijesno-umjetniÄkom kontekstu. Posebna pozornost posveÄena je analizi stila i ikonografije minijatura naslikanih u njihovim inicijalima.In questo scritto vengono trattati due antichi libri di preghiere di Dubrovnik, scritti nellâalfabeto latino e nel dialetto ĆĄtokavo. La nascita del primo si colloca aprossimativamente nel 1400, dellâaltro attorno al 1450. Etrambi appartengono al genere di liturgia delle ore e comprendono: lâufficio della Beata Vergine Maria, lâufficio dei morti, lâufficio dello Spirito Santo, salmi penitenziali, salmi graduali e un gruppo di preghiere. Oltre a quelle menzionate, i due libri contengono alcune preghiere che attirarono lâattenzione di diversi linguisti croati.
Nella bibliografia specifica i due libri sono identificati come: il cosi detto Vatikanski hrvatski molitvenik (libro di preghiere croato nel Vaticano) e il libro cosi detto Akademijin dubrovaÄki molitvenik (libro di preghiere di Dubrovnik nella âAccademia croata delle Scienze e delle Arti); sono ornati con le iniziali e le immagini dei santi, opere di artisti sconosciuti.
Lâautrice considera questi due testi in un contesto artistico-storico, e presta una particolare attenzione allâanalisi dello stile e dellâiconografia delle figure dei santi dipinte nelle iniziali. Non essendo possibile arrivare ai nomi degli artisti, autori delle iniziali, servendosi degli archivi o di unâanalisi stilistica, lâautrice propone di nominarli con dei nomi: il Maestro delle iniziali de il libro Vatikanski hrvatski molitvenik , il Maestro delle iniziali de Il libro Akademijin dubrovaÄki molitvenik
Le sacré et le territoire slovÚne
La notion du sacrĂ© sâĂ©tend de la rĂ©alitĂ© substantielle Ă lâillusion fonctionnelle. Selon nous, la personne humaine en tant quâĂȘtre transcendant est un ĂȘtre sacrĂ© pour qui la religiositĂ© est un phĂ©nomĂšne irrĂ©ductible; cette personne est aussi un ĂȘtre social. La culture concrĂ©tise cette double rĂ©alitĂ© dans un Ătat, dans une nation. AprĂšs 1945, en plus de voir leur existence nationale menacĂ©e par une Yougoslavie impĂ©rialiste, les SlovĂšnes subirent un rĂ©gime communiste totalitaire qui voulait crĂ©er une sociĂ©tĂ© sans classes et un homme libre, mais cette sociĂ©tĂ© est plutĂŽt devenue un « sacré » nourri de collectivisme et dâindividualisme. LâĂtat et la nation slovĂšnes, en refusant un droit de dĂ©nominateur commun Ă la religion traditionnelle et au mythe de la Narodno Osvobodilna Borna (Lutte pour la libĂ©ration nationale), se sont soumis aux effets du postmodernisme en raison de leur propre incapacitĂ© Ă vivre leur identitĂ©. En se livrant au polycentrisme des valeurs et au plus petit dĂ©nominateur commun de la convivialitĂ©, les citoyens se reconnaissent aujourdâhui davantage dans la mondialisation que dans les idĂ©aux de leur propre nation.The notion of the âsacredâ can apply to substantial reality as well as the most functional of illusions. The paper starts from the premise that humans are transcendental and, as such, sacred beings for whom religiosity is irrefutable; they are also social beings. Cultures translate this double reality into states and nations. After 1945, Slovenes did not only see their national existence threatened by an imperialist Yugoslavia; they also bore the brunt of a totalitarian communist regime bent on creating a classless society and a free man. However, this soon turned into a âsacredâ enterprise to push collectivism and individualism. By denying traditional religion and Narodno Osvobodilna Borna (national liberation struggle) their role as common identity denominators, the Slovene state and the nation fell under the sway of postmodernism because of their failure to express their real identity. By surrendering to the polycentrism of values and to the least common denominator of congeniality, Slovene citizens now recognize themselves more in the processes of globalization than in the aspirations of their own nation
MINIATURES IN THE MISSAL OF DUKE NOVAK
U ovoj studiji autori analiziraju minijature u Misalu kneza Novaka iz 1368. godine koji se Äuva u Austrijskoj nacionalnoj biblioteci u BeÄu pod signaturom Cod. slav. 8. Minijature prikazuju evanÄeliste Mateja, Marka, Luku i Ivana, prizor Razapinjanja i Imago pietatis. Na temelju detaljnije povijesne i stilske analize autori smatraju date minijature pokazuju gotiÄke stilske elemente koje susreÄemo u nastavljaÄa Paola Veneziana, a uklapaju se joĆĄ vise u slikarstvo koje se u to vrijeme razvija izmeÄu Padove i Emilije. Najvjerojatnije su one ipak djelo lokalnog minijaturista koji je djelovao s najviĆĄe probabilnosti u Zadru, a moĆŸda u Ninu, u sluĆŸbi tog istaknutog hrvatskog feudalca kojega ime Misal i danas nosi.In this study the authors analyse the miniatures of the Missal of Duke Novak from 1368 which is housed in the Austrian National Library in Vienna under reference Cod. slav. 8. The miniatures present the evangelists Matthew (fol. 74v), Mark (fol.79v), Luke (fol.84r) and John (fol. 9lr), the crucifixion scene (fol. 158v) and the Imago pietatis (fol. 159v). More detailed historical and stylistic analysis has led the authors to believe that the miniatures show the Gothic stylistic characteristics encountered in the works of the followers of the greatest Venetian painter of Trecento, Paolo Veneziano. The miniatures have even more similarities with the painting which developed at that time in the region between Padua and Emilia and have one of their sources in the painting of Giotto. This comparative analysis mentions the names of Catarino, Guariento, Nicoletto Semitecolo and some of the miniatures of the decorative codexes from those parts during the second half of the fourteenth century. After the iconographic analysis, particularly of the Imago Pietatis miniature and the problem of the large number of wounds on the body of Christ, the authors move on to their own attributive suggestions. The authors are of the opinion that the miniatures were not the work of Nikola Ciprianov de Blondis of Zadar, pupil of Paolo Veneziano who worked in Zadar and Nin, if he is the same painter responsible for the paintings in the Kynzvart Palace in Bohemia (which has not in fact been proved, though the possibility cannot be entirely ruled out). After listing several other Zadar artists of the period and mentioning analogies with a fragment of a painted crucifixion by an unknown artist which can be found in the Museum of Art and Craft in Zagreb, the authors move on to their own hypothesis which classifies the miniatures of Prince Novak\u27s Missal as most probably being the work of a local artist working at this time in Zadar, and perhaps in Nin, in the service of the Croatian feudal lord whose name the missal takes. The true identity of the artist remains to be discovered
The Implementation of Electronic Health Records: A Two Country Comparison
The adoption of electronic health records has been significantly slower in Australia than many European countries. This paper compares the implementation process in Australia with Slovenia, looking at the benefits, drawbacks and success factors of ehealth implementation. The authors use case studies collected in each country to discuss issues around ehealth implementation. Though Slovenia has progressed much further down the road of ehealth the commonality of the experiences between both cases was striking
