Re/Defining the Imaginary Museum of National Music
Re/Defining the Imaginary Museum of National Music The Case of Croatia Zdravko Blažekovic´ The historian is a product of history himself, and of his situation. However hard we may try, he cannot escape the molding of his mind by his experience and his surroundings.1 Music historiography in Croatia was throughout the twentieth century marked by the path established in the late nineteenth century by Franjo Ksaver Kuhač (1834-1911), who defined the criteria for inclusion of musicians into the national canon on the basis of their Croatian ethnic origin rather than presenting cultural circles in which they were active. In the twentieth century, the central influence on the definition of the canon of Croatian music history came from Josip Andreis (1909-1982) in his historical survey published in three Croatian editions (Razvoj muzičke umjetnosti u Hrvatskoj [The development of musical arts in Croatia], 1962; Povijest hrvatske glazbe [History of Croatian music], 1974, 1989) and two English editions (Music in Croatia 1974, 1982). Synthesizing the existing views about Croatian music, he constructed in his narrative a museum of Croatian and foreign com- posers active in Croatia, as well as composers born in Croatia but living abroad. Besides nationalistic traits inherited from Kuhač, a reason for emphasizing activities of composers working abroad were the political and cultural circumstances surrounding Andreis during the time of communist Yugoslavia, when Croatian connections with the Central European musical space were particularly appreciated, especially when the quality of composers living abroad surpassed the musical production within the country. Being a part of multina- tional Yugoslavia situated between the Eastern and Western cultural and religious spheres, Croatians at the time wanted to distance themselves from the cultures in Eastern Europe and felt the need to be reassured about their belonging to Slavia Latina. -

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. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 A bstract This dissertation deals with the novels of three contemporary writers whose work was published during the 20th century in the former Yugoslavia: Ivan Aralica (Croatia), Slobodan Selenid (Serbia) and Mega Selimovid (Bosnia and Hercegovina). Within the framework of a feminist approach, the main objective is to evaduate to what extent certain stereotypes in the portrayal of female characters still determine writing and reading in the literatures of the former Yugoslavia at the end of the 20th century. The first half of this dissertation explores the development of the feminist movement and its literary thought within the boundaries of the ‘Western’ world as well as within the boundaries of the former Yugoslavia. -
Treaty of Zadar 1358 the Eastern Adriatic Coast, Nowadays Mostly
Treaty of Zadar 1358 The eastern Adriatic coast, nowadays mostly located in the Republic of Croatia, has an extremely diverse coastline full of islands, bays and natural harbors, unlike the western coast of the Adriatic, which is deprived of natural shelter. Zadar is situated in the center of the eastern coast. During the ancient period and the Middle Ages domination and control of the eastern coast and its strategic points was crucial because in that period naval routes ran along the coast. Zadar was one of these focal points on sea route. Venice, the new naval force, was formed in the north of the Adriatic. The control of the eastern Adriatic coast was of paramount importance for its naval position. Since the 9 th century Venice had been in conflict with the Croatian rulers on the eastern coast, and that conflict continued after 1102 when the Croatian kingdom became part of the Hungarian state. The new rulers from Pannonia were seldom oriented to the Adriatic Sea, which allowed the Venetians to master most of the maritime routes on the Adriatic. However, the situation changed with the arrival of the Anjou, the new dynasty on the Hungarian throne. During that time, they ruled at the same both in the Neapolitan kingdom and the huge Pannonian basin, which led them to the Adriatic coast being natural connection between these two kingdoms. Already in 1346 then the young Hungarian king Louis the Great tried to conquer Zadar from the hand of the Venetians. His first attempt was unsuccessful. In 1356 Louis sent a huge army to northern Italy and broke into the Venetian Republic. -
Review of Generated Waste from Cruisers: Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar Port Case Studies
resources Review Review of Generated Waste from Cruisers: Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar Port Case Studies Merica Sliškovi´c 1,*, Helena Uki´cBoljat 1, Igor Jelaska 2 and Gorana Jeli´cMrˇceli´c 1 1 Faculty of Maritime Studies, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia; [email protected] (H.U.B.); [email protected] (G.J.M.) 2 Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +38-591-3806-997 Received: 28 September 2018; Accepted: 7 November 2018; Published: 9 November 2018 Abstract: The amount of waste generated is becoming an increasing problem both in terms of inefficient use of resources and its harmful effects. Large quantities of waste originate from land, but a certain amount of waste is generated at sea, in which shipping holds its share. A recent analysis for 2015–2016 has rated the Croatian ports of Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar in the top 10 out of 20 main cruising ports in the Adriatic Sea. As it is clear that a large number of persons present onboard generate a large amount of waste, the aim of this paper is to estimate the amount of waste (plastic, domestic, and food) and examine the significance of its increasing quantity produced by cruisers in the three main cruiser ports in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea for the period 2014–2017. Cruise calls correlation, together with repeated measures one-way Analysis of variance -ANOVA, showed that a future increase in the port calls for Zadar can be expected while, for the port of Dubrovnik, a decrease is projected, which is in correspondence with the taken measures for a reduction in the adverse effects of the cruise industry. -
A PRELIMINARY GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION of RELIEF CERAMICS from the NADIN NECROPOLIS a Thesis Presented to the Faculty Of
A PRELIMINARY GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF RELIEF CERAMICS FROM THE NADIN NECROPOLIS A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Elizabeth Gaj Proctor August 2019 © 2019 Elizabeth Gaj Proctor ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This paper analyzes a collection of Hellenistic mold-made relief vessels discovered during the 2018 season of the Nadin-Gradina Archaeological Project through non-destructive portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF). Archaeometric analysis allows for a reconsideration of previous conclusions about the origins of these vessels and possible trade connections at the site of Nadin. The goal of this study is to determine potential source groups for these vessels through their geochemical composition. While the suitability of pXRF as an analytical tool for archaeological ceramics has been debated, the qualitative design of this research project and the physical characteristics of these vessels allow pXRF to be utilized successfully. Statistical analysis of pXRF results indicate the presence of multiple source groups represented in the samples. The attribution of most of these samples to a smaller number of potential source groups indicates a strong connection between the residents of Nadin and at least two production centers. This thesis is intended to suggest preliminary conclusions about potential sources and suggest areas of further study to better understand the trade connections that brought these vessels to Nadin and the role of Nadin in the Ravni Kotari landscape. ii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Elizabeth Gaj Proctor received her BA from the University of Maine in 2017, majoring in Anthropology and minoring in Art History and Medieval and Renaissance Studies. -

They arrived in an organized manner to the eastern Adriatic coast and the re- gion bordered by the Drina, Drava and Danube rivers in the first half of the seventh century, during the time of major Avar-Byzan- tine Wars and general upheavals in Europe. In the territory where they settled, they organized During the reign of Prince themselves into three political entities, based on the previ Branimir, Pope John VIII, ous Roman administrative organizations: White (western) the universal authority at Croatia, commonly referred to as Dalmatian Croatia, and Red the time, granted (southern) Croatia, both of which were under Byzantine su Croatia international premacy, and Pannonian Croatia, which was under Avar su recognition. premacy. The Croats in Pannonian Croatia became Frankish vassals at the end of the eighth century, while those in Dalmatia came under Frankish rule at the beginning of the ninth century, and those in Red Croatia remained under Byzantine supremacy. -

So let me apply these notions and check if I got them right. The research question is how one can skip school during the war years and still make it to the doctor degree. As it appears, only data I needed to plug in are the wonderful colleagues and personalities that were surrounding me on my path. Tools boil down to perseverance, hard work and some intellect. Results are satisfying enough for some decent policy proposals: just when you think you had enough and the road leads to nowhere, make a few more steps uphill- there is a big chance a mountain lake or a meadow will open up in front of you. -
