Following upon the research of Croatian linguists (R. Katičić) and cultural anthropologists (V. Belaj) the authors propose several sites, and structured associations thereof, which, in their opinion, played an important role as the foundations to the cultural landscape of Zagreb and the Zagreb Prigorje area, as we can at least partly reconstruct it today. These sites, located along the line St. Jakob-Medvedgrad-St.Marko, within the Remete »hoof,« along the line the Rog-the Stari Kip-Gradec (Zagreb), and those linked to St. Barbara are just initial examples of what might be achieved by a systematic continuous research. The paper also discusses methodology involved in studying cultural landscape, its signifi cance for the history of the visual arts, and the importance for contemporary interventions in our environment.

Riječ je o potvrdama koje nalazimo u vrelima iz XII. i XIII. stoljeća. Detaljnije je analizirana toponimija i topo- grafija užeg prostora staroga Gradeca i Kaptola. Analizirane su najstarije potvrde hodonima i toponima te njihove poveznice s topografijom srednjovjekovnoga urbanog prostora. Potom su analizirane neke od najstarijih povijesnih toponimijskih potvrda iz šire zagrebačke oko- lice, odnosno iz prostora između Medvednice i rijeke Save. Tekst daje kratak pregled vrela, povijesnih potvrda i suvremenih tumačenja najvažnijih zagrebačkih toponima. Na koncu je ponuđen zaključak, kojim su toponimijske potvrde povezane s povijesnim topografskim i okolišnim uvjetima. Nastojalo se povezati povijesne i okolišne procese u srednjem vijeku s motivacijama imenovanja toponima. Ključne riječi: hodonimi; Zagreb; srednjovjekovni i ranonovovjekovni hodonimi UVOD Najraniji zapisi zagrebačkih srednjovjekovnih i ranonovovjekovnih toponima svjedoče kako su se u orijentaciji urbanoga stanovništva najčešće upotrebljavala opisna imena. Slična je motivacija i pri takozvanoj onimizaciji, odnosno imeno- vanju pri kojemu su novonastali toponimi preuzeti od starijih topografskih ime- na.

  • Readers and Reading in a Digital Age. Deadline
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF CROATIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION SCIENCES is organizing an international interdisciplinary scientific conference named READERS AND READING IN THE DIGITAL AGE on November 11th, 2021 (online, via Zoom) The development of modern media has influenced not only the traditionally understood reading culture but also the communication processes and the psychology of readers. With the emergence of new short forms, structures and communication channels, from various portals to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other modern forms of communication, reading physically tangible texts is becoming a feature of only a small group of people who still find traditional written texts to be sources of information, pleasure, imagination, an escape from reality, humanization, and in certain reading strategies there is also a therapeutic dimension. The young modern reader accustomed to receiving and transmitting information quickly finds it increasingly difficult to cope with the traditional notion of reading and reading culture, which is directly reflected in the forms of teaching and teaching strategies, especially in the social sciences and humanities where they still nurture traditional methods of approaching text. We are aware that in this era of accelerated digitalization, it is necessary to constantly raise awareness of the importance of in- depth and critical reading, especially of media texts. Our goal is to bring together leading experts from Croatia and abroad - communicologists, psychologists, neurologists, media literacy

  • EN-Zagreb-2307.Pdf
    A Welcome to Zagreb As you set out to take a tour round Zagreb, determined to see its highlights, you’ll find that you’ll end up rather enjoying it. Sitting at one of its Viennese- style cafés, strolling leisurely around its streets and promenading through its parks, it’s like you’re starting out on a love affair with this city and its people. And pretty soon you’ll know that this is love in its early stage, the kind that only grows stronger in time. The cosmopolitan buzz of Zagreb will soon strike you. Everything is accessible on foot – from your hotel to the theatre, wandering around the old Upper Town or through the bustling streets of the more modern Lower Town, which has not lost an ounce of its charm despite the eternal march of time. Venture out and let the moment take hold. There is something special about the rustle of leaves as you stroll through the autumn colours of downtown Zrinjevac Park. There is magic in the reflections of the gas lanterns in the Upper Town, as the songs of the street performers evoke their own emotions with their distinctive sound. As night falls, everything becomes soft and subdued; the twinkle of candles in the cathedral and at the mystical Stone Gate; the cafés beckoning you in the twilight with their warm hues. Zagreb is special. It is a long-running tale that allows you room to write your own chapters with your own impressions, something for you to add to the story. Quite simply, Zagreb has a soul.

    THE Capital FROM ZAGREB Cathedral, CA. 1200 – A UNIqUE WITNESS OF A Cultural CHANGE S u m m a r y One of the most intriguing pieces in the Museum of Croatian History in Zagreb is a capital with animal heads dated to ca. 1200, most likely from the Romanesque Cathedral of Zagreb. The capital is constructed in three layers. At the lowermost one, the core of the capital transforms itself from a circle into a square. The corners bear animal heads (most likely birds, possibly eagles) sitting on the tips of the leaves decorating the lowermost zone and curving away from the body of the capital. This clash of light and dark, open and closed, fluid and static is what makes the capital a very satisfying work of art. The most important project in the medieval Continental Croatia was certainly Zagreb Cathedral. Most important, but also until the second half of the 13th ct., the most mysterious one. The Romanesque cathedral was dedicated in 1217, and seriously dama- ged, in 1242 during the Tartar invasion. Count Kulmer, the owner of Medvedgrad and Šestine, donated the capital to the National Museum so it was assumed that the capital came from the Medvedgrad fortress. The Hungarian scholar, Tibor Rostas was the first to state that the capital may have belonged to the Cathedral. An identical capital is built into one of the walls of a chamber in the royal castle at Esztergom. One must underline that both ''twins'' are very high quality pieces, harmo- nious products of a royal workshop. There are analogies also with a number of vegetal capitals from Esztergom sharing detail with the twins, and obviously products of the same workshop, as well as similarities with some other sites, e.g., the vegetal capitals from Pilisszentkereszt.
