  • (2019), the Vardar River As a Border of Semiosphere – Paradox Of
    Geographia Polonica 2019, Volume 92, Issue 1, pp. 83-102 https://doi.org/10.7163/GPol.0138 INSTITUTE OF GEOGRAPHY AND SPATIAL ORGANIZATION POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES www.igipz.pan.pl www.geographiapolonica.pl THE VARDAR RIVER AS A BORDER OF SEMIOSPHERE – PARADOX OF SKOPJE REGENERATION Armina Kapusta Urban Regeneration Laboratory Institute of Urban Geography and Tourism Studies Faculty of Geographical Sciences University of Łódź Kopcińskiego 31, 90-142 Łódź: Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract As suggested by its etymology, regeneration usually carries positive connotations while its negative aspects tend to be belittled. However, any renewal results in major morphological, physiognomic, functional or social changes, which imply changes in the meanings encoded in space. These transformations are not always welcome and they may lead to public discussions and conflicts. Skopje 2014 is a project within which such controversial transformations have been taking place. The area surrounding the Vardar River and its banks plays a major role here. On the river banks monumental buildings were erected, bridges over the river were modernised and new ones, decorated with monuments, were built for pedestrians. Bridges can be considered a valuable component of any urban infrastructure as they link different parts of a settlement unit (in the case of Skopje – left (northern) bank and the right (southern) bank; Albanian and Macedonian), improve transport, facilitate trade and cultural exchange. In this context, referring to Lotman’s semiosphere theory, they may become borders of semiotic space, which acts as a filter that facilitates the penetration of codes and cultural texts. Yet, in multicultural Skopje meanings attached to bridges seem to lead to social inequalities as they glorify what is Macedonian and degrade the Albanian element.

It places Roman decision-making and action within its proper context by emphasizing the role that Greek polities and Illyrian tribes played in both the outbreak and conclusion of the war. It argues that the primary motivation behind the Roman decision to declare war against the Ardiaei in 229 was to secure the very profitable trade routes linking Brundisium to the eastern shore of the Adriatic. It was in fact the failure of the major Greek powers to limit Ardiaean piracy that led directly to Roman intervention. In the earliest phase of trans-Adriatic engagement Rome was essentially uninterested in expansion or establishing a formal hegemony in the Greek East and maintained only very loose ties to the polities of the eastern Adriatic coast.

  • Investigation Report ALBANIA
    Report No. 49504-AL Investigation Report ALBANIA: Power Sector Generation and Restructuring Project (IDA Credit No. 3872-ALB) August 7, 2009 About the Panel The Inspection Panel was created in September 1993 by the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank to serve as an independent mechanism to ensure accountability in Bank operations with respect to its policies and procedures. The Inspection Panel is an instrument for groups of two or more private citizens who believe that they or their interests have been or could be harmed by Bank-financed activities to present their concerns through a Request for Inspection. In short, the Panel provides a link between the Bank and the people who are likely to be affected by the projects it finances. Members of the Panel are selected “on the basis of their ability to deal thoroughly and fairly with the request brought to them, their integrity and their independence from the Bank’s Management, and their exposure to developmental issues and to living conditions in developing countries.”1 The three-member Panel is empowered, subject to Board approval, to investigate problems that are alleged to have arisen as a result of the Bank having non complied its own operating policies and procedures. Processing Requests After the Panel receives a Request for Inspection it is processed as follows: The Panel decides whether the Request is prima facie not barred from Panel consideration. The Panel registers the Request—a purely administrative procedure. The Panel sends the Request to Bank Management, which has 21 working days to respond to the allegations of the Requesters.

  • Travelogue 5 – Apollonia to Berat We Stopped Along the Road After
    Travelogue 5 – Apollonia to Berat We stopped along the road after leaving Gjirokastër for a post-breakfast treat at a small bakery across from this long-abandoned factory. The dry semi-sweet cookies were more interesting than good, but the factory itself was worth the stop. Its sign, rarely seen today but common during the country’s Communist past, declared the glory of Marxism and Leninism. The sign on this abandoned building touted Marxism and Leninism. Our first destination was the ruins of Apollonia, an ancient city founded in 588 BC by Greek colonists. It was the most important of the several classical towns known as Apollonia and flourished in the Roman period only to decline in the 3rd century AD when its harbor started silting up as a result of an earthquake. The Monument of Agonothetes at Apollonia is impressive. While this site is more impressive to scholars than casual tourists, it also has an interesting more modern history dating from the 18th century when it was "rediscovered" and eventually investigated by archaeologists led by Frenchman Leon Rey in the 1920’s. There have been subsequent excavations, but abundant pottery shards and other ancient debris are ubiquitous. Ancient pottery shards littered old digs around the site. After a tour of the ruins, we visited the 13th-century Monastery of Apollonia and its associated Archaeological Museum, where Enea provided expert exhibit-by-exhibit commentary. The 13th-century Church of Saint Mary stands at the heart of the monastery. This beautiful iconographic panel was in the monastery. Is this a well-endowed fertility symbol? Upon leaving the museum we returned to the Ardenica restaurant, which we visited earlier in the trip, for a lunch of grilled vegetables and frog legs.

    ECO-PASTORAL DIAGNOSIS IN THE KARABURUN PENINSULA 15 TO 22 MAY 2016 CONCLUSIONS AND STRATEGIC ISSUES FOR NATURAL PROTECTED AREAS Claire Bernard*, Alice Garnier*, Chloé Lerin**, François Lerin*, Julien Marie*** (*Ciheam Montpellier, **Benevolent intern, ***Parc National des Cévennes) Ciheam Montpellier, July 2016 BiodivBalkans Project (2012-2016): In partnership for the Ecological and Pastoral Funded by : Implemented by : Diagnosis Method with: Pastoralism & Biodiversity Management in Protected Areas Strategic proposals from an Eco-Pastoral Diagnosis in the Karaburun Peninsula, Vlorë County May 2016 Executive summary Claire Bernard, Alice Garnier, Chloé Lerin, François Lerin, Julien Marie This short report is produced within the frame of the BiodivBalkans project (2012-2016). This project is dedicated to foster rural development in mountainous regions through the construction of Signs of quality and origin (SIQO). One of its main outputs was to shed the light on the pastoral and localized livestock systems in Albania and in Balkans’ surrounding countries, as a central issue for biodiversity conservation through the maintenance of High Nature Value farming systems. They are an important component of European agriculture not only for the conservation of biodiversity, but also for cultural heritage, quality products, and rural employment. The core experience of this project was (and still is) the creation of a Protected Geographical Indication on the “Hasi goat kid meat” based on stakeholders collective action and knowledge brokering. During that learning process and to effectively enforce the relation between rural development and biodiversity conservation, we used an original Ecological and Pastoral diagnosis method, imported from an EU Life+ program (Mil’Ouv, 2013-2017). This method seeks to improve pastoral resources management in a way that is both environmentally sustainable and efficient from an economic perspective.

    Ni{ i Vizantija X 105 Ruth E. Kolarik SEASONAL ANIMALS IN THE NARTHEX MOSAIC OF THE LARGE BASILICA, HERACLEA LYNCESTIS The extraordinary floor mosaic in the narthex of the Large Basilica at Heraclea Lyncestis, near Bitola in Macedonia is unique not only for its artistic quality, but also for its subtle imagery (Fig. 1, 2).1 The mosaic was discovered and extensively published by Gordana Tomašević who saw the mosaic as a literal depiction of the cosmos as described by the sixth-century geographer Cosmas Indiceupleustes. She divided the elements of the mosaic into zones: ocean, earth, paradise and highest heaven.2 The mosaic does indeed depict ele- ments of terrestrial creation, earth framed by ocean. The line of trees and ani- mals represents the earth, while the figures in the frame depict sea creatures.3 Its depiction of the earth is unique and specific, however, including trees,4 plants, birds and animals that reference the changing times of the year. This paper con- cerns the seasonal animals.5 The Heraclea mosaic dates to the first half of the sixth century, prob- ably to the 520s or 530s.6 Its frieze-like composition of trees and animals is quite typical of its time. A near-contemporary mosaic from Nikopolis in Epirus, for example, has fauna, mostly birds combined with a line of trees in multiple frames, one of which contains water creatures. Its inscription explains the sub- 1 I would like to thank the organizers of the 2011 Niš and Byzantium Symposium, especially Miša Rakocija for inviting me to submit this article, even though I was unable to attend the conference.
