  • The Concept of Formgiving As a Critique of Mass Production Fedja Vukiç
    The Concept of Formgiving as a Critique of Mass Production Fedja Vukiç Introduction An article by Vjenceslav Richter entitled “The Basic Problems of Industrial Formgiving (industrijsko oblikovanje) in Our Country” was published in the 1966 book Twenty Years of Technology and Economy in Yugoslavia. Richter was an architect, designer, theoretician, and one of the founders of the art group EXAT 51, which began in 1951 in Croatia—one of the republics of the former Yugoslavia.1 Ten years later, another article, “On Applied Arts Issues and the Significance of the Initial Exhibition of the First Zagreb Triennale” by Bernardo Bernardi, an architect, theoretician, and another founder of EXAT 512 appeared. The titles of both articles stress the significance of the issues (i.e., the “problem”), while the texts discuss the phenomenon known in today’s Croatian language and culture as, “dizajn” (design). Since Bernardi establishes the concept of the “artist in industry” and Richter discusses how industrial design is still a new and vague notion to many, and even unknown to some, a comparison of these texts is worthwhile, especially because both authors belonged to the same cultural scene in Zagreb and Croatia during the 1950s and later.3 But while Bernardi set the foundations of the new perspec- tive of the applied arts in 1955, ten years later Richter claimed that industrial design had not yet acquired the full social meaning in the domestic environment. It also should be noted that, while the term “industrial formgiving” (industrijsko oblikovanje) is used in the title of Richter’s article, the term “industrial design” (industrijski dizajn) is used with the same meaning throughout the rest of the article.

  • Regional Meeting on the 2001 Underwater Cultural
    PROGRAMME Regional meeting on the implementation and ratification of the 2001 Convention on the Protection of t he Underwater Cultural Heritage in South-East Europe Zadar, Croatia 30 September – 1 October 2014 A meeting organized within the initiative I. Background and Objectives The UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage was adopted in 2001. As an international treaty, it represents a response of the international community to the increasing looting and destruction of underwater cultural heritage worldwide. The Convention, which entered into force on 2 January 2009, encourages scientific research and public access, condemns the commercial exploitation of heritage and promotes training and awareness raising activities concerning the value and importance of this expression of cultural heritage found underwater in the world’s oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. It also provides a platform for States to adopt a common approach to heritage protection and to endeavour to change the public perception of our submerged heritage, a unique legacy of humanity. The waters of South-East Europe are home to rich and varied vestiges of the region’s culture, witnesses to the history of this region as a cross-road of civilizations. The promotion of such heritage represents an important challenge and cultural objective for the countries in the region. Against this background, the main purpose of the meeting is to offer a renewed opportunity to establish a cooperative approach and share a common vision on measures to research, preserve and protect underwater cultural heritage and its cultural and historical context in South-East Europe, as well as to make it accessible to the general public.

  • The Intersection of Commercial Fishing and Tourism: an Exploratory Research Project
    The Intersection of Commercial Fishing and Tourism: An Exploratory Research Project A Master`s Thesis by A. Michael Vlahovich 2016 Contents Prologue ………………………………………………………….…….iii Introduction .………………………………………………………….…1 Chapter 1: Early Research & Reflections ……………….….6 Chapter 2: Field Notes Talking..…………………..…….…….19 Chapter 3: Cultural Narratives.……………….………….……53 Chapter 4: Making Tourism Serve Heritage……….……..61 Chapter 5: What`s Next?.…………………………………….…..84 Appendix: Presentations and Curriculum..……………..104 References..……………….…………………………………….…….115 ii Prologue If this paper were to be adapted into a movie script, a walk behind the scenes would be a very long walk indeed. In fact, walking would not allow an audience to access even one‐half of all the characters, locations, props, and wardrobes required to develop this story in totality. To do this narrative justice and capture a true sense of all the elements required to accurately relate it to an onlooker, those with real interest would also need to travel on the sea, in fact, on numerous seas. Working the water and the related waterfront occupational arts that keep traditional wooden boats afloat and fishing families sustained have been my life`s labor. These vocations have immersed me in numerous marine environments and diverse coastal cultures. Developing this movie`s complete storyline would, consequently, be an arduous, albeit an exciting, undertaking. Now, however, this paper will only provide a sneak preview of that narrative. Hopefully this will suffice until Hollywood calls. As I write this in the autumn of 2016, I am celebrating my 50th year of going to sea and practicing the skills necessary to maintain a treasured family tradition of commercial fishing and wooden boatbuilding—a body of naturally transferred local maritime knowledge that first came to United States in the hands, minds, and hearts of my Croatian ancestors over 100 years ago.

  • Business Culture in Croatia and Some Countries in Transition*
    BUSINESS CULTURE IN CROATIA AND SOME COUNTRIES IN TRANSITION* Srećko Goić** Ivana Bilić*** Received: 15. 09. 2008 Preliminary communication Accepted: 22. 11. 2008 UDC 65.01 (497.5) The research of the business culture presented in this paper is concentrated on the profile of the business culture of postgraduate students in Business Administration in Croatia. That picture is really encouraging, and if we can imply that this is the category and the group of people that will gradually assume the leading role in the Croatian economy and business community, these results can be encouraging indications for the development of the entire business culture in Croatia. The research gives very interesting materials for different analyses and conclusions about the business culture in Croatia and its neighboring countries too – enabling comparative approach, as well. Still the profile of the business culture of postgraduate students in Business Administration may not represent a true picture of the general (average) profile of the business culture in Croatia. The latter is probably still weak and inadequate. 1. INTRODUCTION Transition is a broad and widely used term, connected with many different fields and processes in modern society and economy. Passage from the 1980's to the 1990's has brought a new category: “countries in transition”.
