Александър Иванов Alexander Ivanov Отражения Reflections Reflektionen
Александър Иванов Alexander Ivanov Отражения Reflections Reflektionen Александър Иванов Alexander Ivanov „Светът около нас е отражение на душите ни.” Станислав Стратиев Все още не мога да разбера защо няколко души се разплакаха, докато гледаха мои фотографии на красива българска природа. Може би защото снимките са отражения на заобикалящия ни свят такъв, какъвто е – красив и противоречив. Всички ние живеем с раздвоена душа в един раздвоен свят. Едната ни половина е потопена в хаоса на ежедневието, тя в повечето случаи е неуверена и объркана от неспособността ни да се впишем адекватно в обществото и да следваме бързопроменящия се свят. Другата все още живее с идеализма и първите миризми от детството, където светът е прекрасен, а щастието – вечно и първично наше състояние. И когато на фотографиите видим сред каква прекрасна природа живеем, и изведнъж осъзнаем колко хармоничен и красив е животът сам по себе си, това изважда наяве вътрешния ни конфликт. Може ли да има свят без конфликти? Едва ли! Можем ли да съчетаем интересите на едно стремително развиващо се консуматорско общество с интересите на природата, която ни заобикаля и всъщност ни дава живот? Отговорът също е – едва ли! Идеята на тази изложба е да провокира първо чувствата, после мисълта и ако това доведе до някакво, макар и минимално действие, това е началото. С тези снимки искам да извикам на себе си, а може би ще ме чуе и още някой: „Човече, поспри се за миг, погледни в душата си и направи така, че светът около теб да стане такъв, какъвто мечтаеш да бъде. Това зависи и от теб.” Александър Иванов “The world around us is a reflection of our souls.” „Die Welt um uns spiegelt unsere Seelen wider.“ Stanislav Stratiev Stanislav Stratiev I still cannot understand why several people broke into tears upon seeing my photographs of Ich verstehe es immer noch nicht, warum einige Leute weinten, als sie sich meine Fotos von der beautiful Bulgarian nature. -

Photographic Workshops with Young in Multiethnic Regions
Editorial The topic – Art and Community Development – of the current issue of the Journal on Community Development in CEE seems to be quite controversial. It is not only because “The arts are often considered to be at the periphery of the community development process...” as Alan Kay mentioned in 2000. As Teodor Mladenov discovers in his article here (“Community Development and Art: Welcoming the other within”) there are a whole set of binary oppositions which build walls between “community development” and “art” – ethics vs. aesthetics; rational vs. emotional; public vs. private, etc. But it is even more complicated. In Eastern Europe, as Svetla Kazalarska points out in her article (“Community-based arts in South-Eastern Europe: A double oxymoron?”), the concept of “community development” itself is more or less “imported” from the USA and Western Europe (mostly United Kingdom). And at the same time, “the arts” in the post-communist societies are considered in a narrowed context with a focus on “high arts” and with less emphasis on amateur or community arts. Finally, at the level of community development practitioners one could easily feel the ill concealed undervaluation of the arts and culture. There are different reasons for that but one is obvious – there are only few organizations in Central and Eastern Europe which actively recognize the arts and culture not only as an instrument but also as a vital part of the community development processes. In this context, when I was starting the real variety of viewpoints and theoretical/ preparation of the current issue of the methodological considerations. Journal on Community Development in CEE few months ago, I decide to defi ne Some of the articles – as for example three main aims: the already mentioned texts of Svetla Kazalarska and Teodor Mladenov – are First, to present a variety of practices and more theoretical, or more precisely – examples of using the arts as a tool for “framework oriented”. -
Leeds Student Law and Criminal Justice Review
Leeds Student Law and Criminal Justice Review March 2021 Volume 1 www.essl.leeds.ac.uk/homepage/141/leeds_student_law_and_criminal_justice_review THE EDITORIAL BOARD 2020 - 2021 Managing Editor Maariyah Islam Assistant Managing Editors Kisby Dickinson & Clare James Editors Ananya Banerjee Atif Bostan Amy Gainford Natasha Gooden Ibukunoluwa Iyiola-Omisore Peter Ochieng Tu Tran FOREWORD I am delighted to be asked to write the Introduction to the first edition of the Leeds Student Law and Criminal Justice Review. The School of Law at the University of Leeds is proud to be home to this new journal that showcases the outstanding work of our final year undergraduates. All of the articles originated as excellent final year dissertations, revised in the light of feedback from an editorial board made up of postgraduate research students. The final year dissertation is the culmination of a research based undergraduate degree that actively develops students’ independent research skills. The authors of these articles devised their own research questions, delving deep into a subject that they had become interested in in the course of their degree, benefitting from one to one supervision by a faculty expert in the field. The result, as this journal demonstrates, is a rich breadth of cutting edge research questions and diversity of methodological approaches that build on and speak to the strengths of three of the School’s Research Centres in Business Law and Practice, Criminal Justice Studies and Law and Social Justice. Busuioc’s excellent paper addresses the important and topical question of the extent to which the introduction of blockchain in the democratic processes of the European Union can improve the quality of democracy. -

Запад • Me and the Abandoned Northwest

Градим, създаваме, произвеждаме, след което изоставяме, рушим, изхвърляме. Това, което вчера е имало стойност, смисъл и значение за нас, днес е ненужно и напусна- то. България не е изключение. Но защо тогава изглежда толкова изоставена? Защо Северозападът не само статистически е най – бедният регион в ЕС, но и естетически изглежда най – изоставен? Можем да зададем въпроса и така – дали Северозападът не е естест- вено огледало на развитието на Бълга- рия след 1989-а година – когато свободата на мисълта дойде преди да се появи мисълта – и дали не е идеалното място за мислене днес в един свят, в който всеки има спешна нужда да си зададе въпроси – какво трябва да изоставя, за да бъда наистина свободен? Abandonment is part of the progress. We build, create, produce, then abandon, destroy, throw away. What yesterday was valuable, meaningful and important today is not needed anymore and abandoned. Bulgaria is not an exception. Why then it looks so abandoned? Why the Northwest is not only statistically the poorest region in EU, but also esthetically seems so abandoned? We also can put the question that way – isn’t our Northwest a natural mirror where the development of our country after 1989 is reflected? When the freedom of thinking appeared before the thinking itself. Isn’t the Northwest the best place today to reflect – in a world where everybody urgently needs to ask himself – what should I abandon, to be truly free?

Mapping the Northwest of Bulgaria (1)
P a g e | 1 Mapping the Northwest of Bulgaria (1) In a few days time we begin work on a project to explore how the events of "1989" are reflected in contemporary discourse in Bulgaria. Below you can read a bit about the project (written by Mariana Assenova) which will run throughout this year in Bulgaria. In 2009 Bulgarians will face the fact that 20 years have passed since the end of Communism. But does everyone know what happened in 1989? It’s hard or even impossible to find any signs of the memory of 1989 in Bulgarian cities. How many young people know that in this year the dramatic change of the political and economic systems started? Can 20 years olds appreciate how these changes affected people’s life in their own cities? Which facts still remain half-expressed by our parents? Due to various reasons the events of 1989, the year of the dramatic changes that ended the Communist era in Bulgaria and in Europe, are still not reflected upon enough and in different geographical regions "1989" is still differently perceived. The Northwestern region of Bulgaria is of special interest. The majority of the population saw "1989" not as the end of the totalitarian regime and a new opportunity for the better, but as a mourning for the old. The greater part saw the changes as shocking, disturbing and upsetting. Traumatic. This project aims to address the asymmetry in perception and the way it affects at least three generations – our parents, us and the generation born after 1989.
