The cult of the Virgin Zoodochoz pege and its reflection in the painting of the Palaiologan era

The paper discusses the ways in which the miraculous cult and newly established liturgy of the shrine of the Virgin 'Zoodochoz pege' near Constantinople influenced the formation of a specific presentation of the Mother of God in the Palaiologan era, both in the Romaic Empire, and in the Eastern Christian lands where the liturgy was not performed in the Greek language

The diptych icon from Kotor: Imago pietatis and the Virgin with the Christ Child: In the light of the religious practice of the brotherhood of the flagellants

The diptych icon from Kotor (Imago pietatis and the Virgin with the Christ Child), painted probably in 1468, is examined from the aspect of the penitent and ascetic practice of the Kotor flagellants, who commissioned it for their needs. The members of the brotherhood of the Holy Cross particularly revered the cult of the Five Wounds of Christ, the particles of the lignum crucis and the experience of Christ's Passion. The said religious themes are analysed based on the archive material and preserved paintings, connected with this monastic brotherhood of Kotor

O pojmu časa, prostora in vzročnosti pri Aravkancih. Ali: Po čem si je treba zapomniti Juana Benigarja?

Juan (Ivan, Janez) Benigar, antropolog/etnolog, filolog, teozof, filozof in »politični aktivist«, je med letoma 1922 in 1925 napisal tri razprave, ki veljajo za jedro Benigarjevega etnološkega dela: o času, prostoru in vzročnosti med Aravkanci. Z njimi se je zelo približal Lévi-Straussovemu konceptu »divje misli«, a mu dispozitiv vednosti (epistemološki okvir) časa ni omogočal izostrene teoretske formulacije. Članek med drugim skuša predstaviti prevečkrat zanemarjen politični angažma Juana Benigarja in postaviti raziskave o njem onstran nacionalnega diskurza. Sklepna teza članka je, da si je treba Benigarja zapomniti predvsem kot človeka (ontološko) in kot kritičnega (angažiranega) intelektualca (teoretsko oziroma profesionalno). *** Juan Benigar, an anthropologist/ethnologist, philologist, theosophist, philosopher and “political activist” wrote three essays: on time, space and causality among the Araucanians between the years 1922 and 1925. In his essays Benigar approached Levi-Strauss’s concept of the “savage mind”. It was the dispositif (apparatus) of knowledge of his time (the epistemological framework) that prevented him to conceptualise it. The article tries also to stress the somehow forgotten “political engagement” of Juan Benigar and to conceptualise this scientist beyond national discourse. The final horizon of this article is that we should remember Benigar as a human being (ontologically speaking) and as a critical (socially engaged) intellectual (theoretically and professionally speaking)
