  • Sacred Places in Lviv – Their Changing Significance and Functions
    PrACE GEOGrAFICznE, zeszyt 137 Instytut Geografii i Gospodarki Przestrzennej UJ Kraków 2014, 91 – 114 doi : 10.4467/20833113PG.14.011.2156 Sacred placeS in lviv – their changing Significance and functionS Małgorzata Flaga Abstract : In the paper, issues of a multitude of functions of sacred places in Lviv are considered. The problem is presented on the example of selected religious sites that were established in distinct periods of the development of the city and refers to different religious denomina- tions. At present, various functions are mixing in the sacred complexes of Lviv. The author tries to formulate some general conclusions concerning their contemporary role and leading types of activity. These findings are based, most of all, on analyses of the facts related to the history of Lviv, circumstances of its foundation, various transformations, and modern func- tions of the selected sites. Keywords : Lviv, Western Ukraine, religious diversity, functions of religious sites introduction Lviv, located in the western part of Ukraine, is a city with an incredibly rich his- tory and tradition. It was founded in an area considered to be a kind of political, ethnic and religious borderland. For centuries the influence of different cultures, ethnic and religious groups met there and the city often witnessed momentous historical events affecting the political situation in this part of Europe. The com- munity of the thriving city was a remarkable mosaic of nationalities and religious denominations from the very beginning. On the one hand, these were representa- tives of the Latin West ( first – Catholics, later on – Protestants ), on the other hand – the Byzantine East.

  • Circulations in the Global History of Art
    An Ashgate Book circulations in the global history of art The project of global art history calls for balanced treatment of artifacts and a unified approach. This volume emphasizes questions of transcultural encounters and exchanges as circulations. It presents a strategy that highlights the processes and connections among cultures, and also responds to the dynamics at work in the current globalized art world. The editors’ introduction provides an account of the historical background to this approach to global art history, stresses the inseparable bond of theory and practice, and suggests a revaluation of materialist historicism as an underlying premise. Individual contributions to the book provide an overview of current reflection and research on issues of circulation in relation to global art history and the globalization of art past and present. They offer a variety of methods and approaches to the treatment of different periods, regions, and objects, surveying both questions of historiography and methodology and presenting individual case studies. An “Afterword” by James Elkins gives a critique of the present project. The book thus deliberately leaves discussion open, inviting future responses to the large questions it poses. Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann is Frederick Marquand Professor of Art and Archaeology, Princeton University, US. Catherine Dossin is Associate Professor of Art History, Purdue University, US. Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel is Associate Professor of Art History, École normale supérieure, France. STUDIES IN ART HISTORIOGRAPHY Series Editor: Richard Woodfield, University of Birmingham, UK The aim of this series is to support and promote the study of the history and practice of art historical writing focusing on its institutional and conceptual foundations, from the past to the present day in all areas and all periods.

  • Art in Poland from the Renaissance to the Rococo Jan K. Ostrowski
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Biedrońska-Słota, Beata (Hrsg.): Polonia. Tesoros y colecciones artísticas [1 junio - 4 septiembre 2011, Palacio Real de Madrid] ; CD-ROM, Madrid 2011, S. 19-37 Art in Poland from the Renaissance to the Rococo Jan K. Ostrowski In 1492, the year America was ‚discovered‛, Casimir IV Jagiellon, King of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, perished after a 56-year reign. His death marked the end of an era. The two brief rules of his sons – Jan Olbracht (1459-1501) and Aleksander (1461-1506) – were a transitional phase. The Constitution of 1505 ended the process of the medieval monarchy’s transformation into a state with a new, distinct structure, known as the respublica mixta. By the time Sigismund I the Old (1467-1548), another son of Casimir IV, acceded to the throne the following year, Poland was a sort of republic ruled by the nobility, with a king whose position was in fact comparable to that of a lifelong president, however much the splendour of the monarchy was maintained. Although this structure had dangerous and even self-destructive aspects, it survived until the end of the eighteenth century, and the reigns of Sigismund I the Old and his son, Sigismund II Augustus (1520- 1572), are considered the country’s most prosperous period and a golden age in the history of Polish culture. Despite the growing crisis in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the republic’s vast territories – which spanned Poland, Lithuania, today’s Belarus and a substantial part of Ukraine – invaluable cultural and artistic works were produced.
