Memory of the World Register Nomination Form Ref N° 2004-11
MEMORY OF THE WORLD REGISTER NOMINATION FORM REF N° 2004-11 PART A – ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1 SUMMARY The Miroslav Gospel, a manuscript dating from around 1180 with miniatures of outstanding beauty, is the representative of a group of illuminated manuscripts of specific style and iconography resulting from fusion of elements of the West (Italy) and the East (Byzantium). This Serbian script that the concept of book decoration shares with other Orthodox Slavs and the style with the miniatures originating from mid-Italian scriptoria, is actually one of the most important testimonies of the artistic influences paths made from the West to the East and back. The Miroslav Gospel documents the liturgic structure of the evangelistary and an important stage of development of the Rascian orthography, the importance of which goes beyond the mediaeval Serbia boundaries. The valuable material - parchment and gilding - has been preserved almost completely and documents well the endowment power of Christian princes in the Balkans by the end of the 12th C. By its style which is the mixture of the influences from the West and the East, the Miroslav Gospel is the unique manuscript of its kind in the region, as well as in the world. By its beauty and uniqueness the Miroslav Gospel will influence later other manuscripts of the region, as well as of the Medieval Europe. This manuscript represents the most precious and significant document in cultural heritage in Serbia. 2 DETAILS OF THE NOMINATOR 2.1 Name (person or organisation) Unesco National Commission of Serbia and Montenegro President Mr. Jovan Ćirilov National Museum, Belgrade Mr. -

Romanian Traditional Musical Instruments
GRU-10-P-LP-57-DJ-TR ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Romania is a European country whose population consists mainly (approx. 90%) of ethnic Romanians, as well as a variety of minorities such as German, Hungarian and Roma (Gypsy) populations. This has resulted in a multicultural environment which includes active ethnic music scenes. Romania also has thriving scenes in the fields of pop music, hip hop, heavy metal and rock and roll. During the first decade of the 21st century some Europop groups, such as Morandi, Akcent, and Yarabi, achieved success abroad. Traditional Romanian folk music remains popular, and some folk musicians have come to national (and even international) fame. ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC Folk music is the oldest form of Romanian musical creation, characterized by great vitality; it is the defining source of the cultured musical creation, both religious and lay. Conservation of Romanian folk music has been aided by a large and enduring audience, and by numerous performers who helped propagate and further develop the folk sound. (One of them, Gheorghe Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, and helped popularize a traditional Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes.) The earliest music was played on various pipes with rhythmical accompaniment later added by a cobza. This style can be still found in Moldavian Carpathian regions of Vrancea and Bucovina and with the Hungarian Csango minority. The Greek historians have recorded that the Dacians played guitars, and priests perform songs with added guitars. The bagpipe was popular from medieval times, as it was in most European countries, but became rare in recent times before a 20th century revival. -
Arhai's Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British
Ivana Medić Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1416105M UDK: 78.031.4 78.071.1:929 Бацковић Ј. Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British Market* Ivana Medić1 Institute of Musicology SASA (Belgrade) Abstract This article focuses on Serbian composer Jovana Backović and her band/project Arhai, founded in Belgrade in 1998. The central argument is that Arhai made a transition from being regarded a part of the Serbian ethno music scene (which flourished during the 1990s and 2000s) to becoming a part of the global world music scene, after Jovana Backović moved from her native Serbia to the United Kingdom to pursue an international career. This move did not imply a fundamental change of her musical style, but a change of cultural context and market conditions that, in turn, affected her cultural identity. Keywords Arhai, Jovana Backović, world music, ethno, Balkan Folktronica Although Serbian composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jovana Backović is only 34 years old, the band Arhai can already be considered her lifetime project. The Greek word ‘Arhai’ meaning ‘beginning’ or ‘ancient’ it is aptly chosen to summarise Backović’s artistic mission: rethinking tradition in contemporary context. Нer interest in traditional music was sparked by her father, himself a professional musician and performer of both traditional and popular folk music (Medić 2013). Backović founded Arhai in Belgrade in 1998, while still a pupil at music school Slavenski, and continued to perform with the band while receiving instruction in classical composition and orchestration at the Belgrade Faculty of Music. In its first, Belgrade ‘incarnation’, Arhai was a ten-piece band that developed a fusion of traditional music from the Balkans with am bient sounds and jazz-influenced improvisation, using both acoustic and electric instruments and a quartet of fe male vocalists. -
Socio-Demographic Characteristics As Determinants of Differences in Perception of Local Gastronomy
SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AS DETERMINANTS OF DIFFERENCES IN PERCEPTION OF LOCAL GASTRONOMY Review article Economics of Agriculture 1/2017 UDC: 338.48-6:641/642(497.11) SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AS DETERMINANTS OF DIFFERENCES IN PERCEPTION OF LOCAL GASTRONOMY1 Nikola Vuksanović2, Dragan Tešanović3, Bojana Kalenjuk4, Milijanko Portić5, Marija Knežević6 Abstract This study aims to research differences in socio-demographic characteristics of foreign tourists in consumption of local food in the city centres Belgrade and Novi Sad, Republic of Serbia. The research was conducted on a sample of 673 respondents. The results of this study point out the importance of socio-demographic variables in research of local gastronomy as a significant component of tourism product. The research included the determining of the impact of the city the tourists stayed at. The differences were examined via two-factor ANOVA analysis of variance. The obtained results indicate that there are differences between age groups, in the level of education, monthly income and countries that foreign tourists come from, whereas there is no difference between genders in relation to the perception of local gastronomy. At the same time, the findings indicate that there are no differences in the perception of local gastronomy between the cities of Novi Sad and Belgrade. The results confirm previous studies and point out the significance of socio-demographic characteristics 1 This Research Paper was the part of the projects No. 46009 and 46005, financed by Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development. 2 Nikola Vuksanović, M.Sc., Teaching Assistant, Higher education school for management and business communication, Department of Hospitality, Mitropolita Stratimirovića Street no. -

May 2013 Bojan Desnica 4 Abstract In the time of global economy, culture is viewed as a general social concept, but holders of global culture are people with different national and cultural identity. On the other hand, companies are developing an organizational culture with the aim of integrating the values and the steering behavior of employees towards common business goals. In this regard, companies have a continuous job to manage cultural diversity. Globalization means the economic, political and cultural process, driven by the desire of large corporations to enter new markets. Organizational culture differs between companies and countries. In terms of global connectivity and market challenges companies are becoming more numerous and complex. -

The mode of learning of the music has also trans- formed from aural transmission and memorization without a teacher to combined tutoring and learning via listening to digitally available sources. This paper traces the modes of learning of folk aerophone frula throughout the twentieth century and up to the present, and moreover analyzes how the relation of the teacher and the pupil, al- though being a recent invention in frula practice, serves as a counterbalance to the mediatized way of learning (of) music. Keywords: frula, Serbia, teaching music, learning music, digital environments, aural learning, hybrid learning, music learning and technology From living tradition to revival In 2007, a discussion among the cacophony of similar, quick, solution-ori- ented exchanges popped up in the Serbian area of the Internet: in one online forum, a person was wondering whether a ’tutorial’ for frula playing could be *1The author’s contact details: [email protected] 28 Nenić, I.: ’Roots in the Age of YouTube’: Old and Contemporary Modes of Learning.. -
