Animacja kultury lokalnej jako inicjatywa instytucjonalna
2019
Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie przekształceń we współczesnej kulturze, która odchodzi od tradycyjnych wartości. Globalizm i dominacja kultury popularnej mają konsekwencje w preferencjach i zachowaniu mieszkańców społeczności lokalnych. Negatywne aspekty indywidualizmu w kulturze mogą być równoważone poprzez działalność placówek kultury w najbliższym miejscu zamieszkania. W tekście ukazana jest działalność kulturalna i animacyjna w odbiorze społecznym w niedużej gminie miejsko-wiejskiej. Na uwagę zasługuje animowanie i formowanie przez lokalne placówki w pracy kulturalno-oświatowej kapitału społecznego mieszkańców
Dynamics in the Field of Museums: Contemporary Challenges for Polish Museologists
2018
The aim of this text is to present and analyze the attitudes of Polish museologists towards the changes currently taking place in the field of museums. More specifically, it will focus on their opinions regarding the evolution of museums—from the traditional model, based on symbolic violence, to the contemporary model, which accents the subjectivity of the audience. Its conclusions, based on analyses of 26 qualitative interviews with employees of Polish museums, are as follows: the organizational changes taking place in Polish museums do not relieve museologists from bureaucratic work; the collections in museums distinguish them from other institutions of culture; there is a struggle …
Mudarrisūn e muḥaddiṯūn a Damasco negli awāmir sulṭāniyyah (1876-1908)
2014
The Center for Historical Documentation of Damascus, which was founded in 1960, houses a relevant variety of first-hand sources dating back to the Ottoman period, which prove to be fundamental in order to better define some peculiar aspects of history of Bilād al-Šām, such as the role of ʿulamāʾ and transmission of knowledge. As far as this is concerned, the awāmir sulṭāniyyah represent an essential part of the documentation, not only for the number of biographical data about mudarrisūn and muḥadditūn who were living and teaching in Damascus, but also for the particular relationship that they established with the main cultural institutions of the city, such as the traditional madāris. Throu…
Translations, Paratextual Mediation, and Ideological Closure
1996
Abstract: This article deals with the way so-called paratexts were used, in Finland in 1890-1939, in publishing translations of Anglo-American literature, and especially with the tendencies towards ideological closure that those paratexts manifest. The dominant ideology in the material is what could be called religious-conservative ideology, emphasizing the thought content of the works and their (educative, civilizing, sometimes also entertaining) impact on readers. This is due to the ideological unification process that penetrated the cultural institutions, which were still relatively undifferentiated and non-autonomous during the period in Finland. The article emphasizes that in studying …
Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo
2022
Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…
Muzeum jako instytucja odpowiedzialna społecznie. Rola muzeum w debacie na temat zmian klimatycznych
2019
W artykule analizuję możliwości zaangażowania muzeum w problem zmian klimatycznych. Zagadnienie to jest na tyle istotną kwestią w dzisiejszym dyskursie społecznym, że pomimo jego trudnych konotacji politycznych nie może być pomijane przez muzea, szczególnie jeśli rozpatrujemy je jako instytucje sfery publicznej. Zmiana klimatu to jedno z największych wyzwań, z jakim musimy się zmierzyć w XXI w. Następstwa zmian klimatycznych są długotrwałe, wielowymiarowe i mają charakter globalny – będą miały również bezpośredni wpływ na przyszłą działalność muzeum. Muzeum – jako instytucja publiczna – nieustannie dostosowuje swoją ofertę do zmieniających się okoliczności społecznych. Zaangażowanie muzeum …
Zaangażowanie muzeum w proces komunikowania o zmianie klimatu
2019
In this paper I addressed the issue of the engagement of museums in climate change. The problem of climate change is so important in the current social context that, despite its difficult political connotations, it cannot be ignored by museums, especially if we consider a museum as an element of a public sphere. Climate change is a challenge in 21st century. Climate change will present challenges that are of long-term nature, multidimensional and global phenomenon. It could impact directly on museums. I assume museums can provide a safe place for dialogue around climate change. Museums can also inform publics about the science of climate change and help to equip people with knowledge, shape…
Farm Cultural Park : An Experience of Social Innovation in the Recovery of the Historical Centre of Favara
2017
In 2010 some people from Favara decided to initiate a process of recovery and re-appropriation of the abandoned historical centre, by establishing Farm Cultural Park, a private cultural institution. This paper aims to describe the process of sustainable design, social innovation and inclusion, triggered by the Farm Cultural Park in the historical centre of Favara which, by showing its resilience, has redefined its identity, progressing from a place of widespread, unauthorised development to a dynamic creative city.
The rise of the hybrid model of art museums and cultural institutions. The case of Barcelona
2015
ABSTRACTArts and museum management analysis usually classifies art museums and cultural institutions as a public or private non-for-profit. However, budget and analysis management, as Mark J. Schuster stated, reveals that the majority of museums and cultural institutions cannot be classified neither public nor private non-profit, because they are hybrids. This paper analyses with a multidimensional methodology the different degrees of hybridization of Barcelona's museums and cultural institutions. Finally, we explain its phenomenon as the emergence of a new hybrid local model of museums and cultural institutions, which Barcelona is a singular and advanced case.
