From ‘no dogs here!’ to ‘beware of the dog!’ : restricting dog signs as a reflection of social norms
2019
Signs in public space reflect ‘normalcy’ in a community. The authors ask what restricting signs tell us about a society? In order to explore the system and variation in the ways dog signs manifest different norms and control, they compare two different data sets: dog signs in a Northern European town, Jyväskylä in Finland, and two Eastern European villages in Romania. They apply a qualitative methodology based on visual communication, geosemiotics and linguistic landscape studies. The focus of the article is on the resources of addressing and the visual semiotics of the image. The investigated communities seem to create a complementary distribution of what they regulate that is also displa…

Dlaczego warto jeść piętki chleba? : o przesądach kulinarnych
2016
Z kulinariami związanych jest wiele różnorodnych przesądów. W kuchni polskiej znajduje się mnóstwo składników żywieniowych, których spożywanie na przestrzeni wieków obrosło wieloma wierzeniami. W niniejszym artykule omówiono zachowania przesądne dotyczące wybranych składników żywnościowych (chleba, kapusty, ziemniaków, cukru) oraz rekwizytów kuchennych (garnków i sztućców). Zaprezentowane materiały pochodzą z dwóch źródeł: zastanych (opracowań etnograficznych wydanych przed 1945 r.) i wywołanych (zebranych podczas wywiadów prowadzonych w 2015 r. w obrębie dwóch województw - śląskiego i opolskiego).
Evaluation of biocidal potential of some plant species from the Mediterranean wild flora
Contre la fausse objectivité, le perspectivisme assumé ? le reportage « gonzo » de Goldin, Clark, D’Agata, Tillmans contre la photographie « document…
2019
International audience; Après 1945, un certain nombre de praticiens de la « photographie plasticienne »privilégièrent le reportage « communautaire » : une plongée, sur le long terme, au sein d’ungroupe d’individus, souvent connus, voire intimes, du photographe, qui loin de se placercomme un témoin neutre, activait le mécanisme de l’observation participante chère àl’ethnographie. Larry Clark en fournit un exemple avec la série Tulsa (1971), la premièred’une longue lignée. Nan Goldin amplifia d’autant l’inclusion de l’autrice par la pratique del’autoportrait en situation dans The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (1981-1996). Plus tard desartistes comme Antoine d’Agata ou Wolfgang Tillmans poursuiv…
Representations of the Life-giving Spring feast in Romanian iconography
2021
This article explores the development of the theme of the Life-giving Spring in Byzantine iconography. The path towards its establishment was initiated at the moment when a representation rule, an original convention was set. Thereafter, because of its diffusion in time and space, the theme became enriched by particular mentalities and sensibilities of the epochs and the communities that adopted it as a form of devotion for the Virgin Theotokos. As a result, the representations we have known so far are extremely varied. Contribution: The final purpose of this approach, as well as its contribution, is to highlight the diverse unity of the iconographic tradition and illustrate both the evolut…

La scultura lignea del Settecento nella Sicilia occidentale tra importazioni da Napoli e scuole locali
2022
Dopo una premessa sui committenti, si indagano i più rappresentativi simulacri lignei del XVIII secolo della Sicilia occidentale. Le statue sono state eseguite, secondo la pertinente temperie culturale, da scultori locali, talvolta ignari dei tratti innovativi del tempo, che hanno reiterato stilemi dei secoli precedenti. Tra gli artisti con bottega a Palermo, aggiornati alle più moderne istanze, si annoverano Barcellona, Quattrocchi e Valenza. Altri manufatti, perlopiù ubicati nelle chiese degli ordini religiosi, sono stati approntati da autori napoletani su esplicita richiesta di attenti committenti. Alle opere partenopee va il merito di aver contribuito all’aggiornamento del linguaggio ar…
