(2019), the Vardar River As a Border of Semiosphere – Paradox Of
Geographia Polonica 2019, Volume 92, Issue 1, pp. 83-102 https://doi.org/10.7163/GPol.0138 INSTITUTE OF GEOGRAPHY AND SPATIAL ORGANIZATION POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES www.igipz.pan.pl www.geographiapolonica.pl THE VARDAR RIVER AS A BORDER OF SEMIOSPHERE – PARADOX OF SKOPJE REGENERATION Armina Kapusta Urban Regeneration Laboratory Institute of Urban Geography and Tourism Studies Faculty of Geographical Sciences University of Łódź Kopcińskiego 31, 90-142 Łódź: Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract As suggested by its etymology, regeneration usually carries positive connotations while its negative aspects tend to be belittled. However, any renewal results in major morphological, physiognomic, functional or social changes, which imply changes in the meanings encoded in space. These transformations are not always welcome and they may lead to public discussions and conflicts. Skopje 2014 is a project within which such controversial transformations have been taking place. The area surrounding the Vardar River and its banks plays a major role here. On the river banks monumental buildings were erected, bridges over the river were modernised and new ones, decorated with monuments, were built for pedestrians. Bridges can be considered a valuable component of any urban infrastructure as they link different parts of a settlement unit (in the case of Skopje – left (northern) bank and the right (southern) bank; Albanian and Macedonian), improve transport, facilitate trade and cultural exchange. In this context, referring to Lotman’s semiosphere theory, they may become borders of semiotic space, which acts as a filter that facilitates the penetration of codes and cultural texts. Yet, in multicultural Skopje meanings attached to bridges seem to lead to social inequalities as they glorify what is Macedonian and degrade the Albanian element. -

Political and International Implications of Integrated Water Resources Management of Transboundary River Basins: the Case of Axios/Vardar River Basin”
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE UNIVERSITY OF MACEDONIA DEPARTMENT OF BALKAN, SLAVIC AND ORIENTAL STUDIES MASTER PROGRAMME IN “POLITICS AND ECONOMICS OF CONTEMPORARY EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE” DISSERTATION “Political and International implications of integrated water resources management of transboundary river basins: The case of Axios/Vardar River basin” MICHAIL I.TSAVDARIDIS Graduate of Political Sciences Thessaloniki 2013 Abstract Abstract The political rivalries over the water resources are highly increased due to their scarcity, several types of pollution, increasing water consumption and several environmental shifts. These tensions are a result of the great number of transboundary river basins worldwide (261). The international institutions promote a remarkable legal framework in order to regulate those dimensions amongst the riparian states. The new EU Water Framework Directive 2000/60 and the decisions of Helsinki convention could be the road map for integrated water resources management (IWRM). In Greece the main renewable resources are “imported” and for this reason the necessity of an IWRM is obvious and a hard task at the same time. This dissertation focuses on the Axios/Vardar river basin and examines the possibility of a possible transnational cooperation in respect of the international law framework. i Table of Contents Table of Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................... -

Some of the white Pines on Fair Haven Hill have just reached the acme of their fall;–others have almost entirely shed their leaves, and they are scattered over the ground and the walls. The same is the state of the Pitch pines. At the Cliffs I find the wasps prolonging their short lives on the sunny rocks just as they endeavored to do at my house in the woods. It is a little hazy as I look into the west today. The shrub oaks on the terraced plain are now almost uniformly of a deep red. HDT WHAT?

North Macedonia Social Briefing: the Success Story of the Handball Club “Vardar” Against All Odds Anastas Vangeli
ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 19, No. 3 (MK) June 2019 North Macedonia social briefing: The Success Story of the Handball Club “Vardar” Against All Odds Anastas Vangeli 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 The Success Story of the Handball Club “Vardar” Against All Odds Introduction Handball is perhaps the most popular team sport in North Macedonia (hereinafter Macedonia), or at least the one in which Macedonia has noted the highest number of (and the most meaningful) international successes. The national handball teams (both the female and the male ones) have generally performed well in international competitions, although they have not won a gold medal yet. However, Macedonian professional handball clubs have competed and won at the top level in the past two decades. The early successes were noted by female teams. In 2002, the female handball club Kometal Gjorche Petrov won the European Champions League (it also made the finals in 2000 and 2005), bringing about one of the rare moments of collective nation-wide celebration in what has otherwise been a dark period for Macedonia's society. After years of continuous improvement, male handball clubs also improved their performance. In 2017, the male handball team Vardar won the European Champions League, which has given way for one of the largest celebrations in Macedonia's modern history. Vardar played in the Final Four in 2018, but did not win a medal – while the fans of the team at home remained passionate and supportive.
