to my academic supervisor, Professor Denise J. Youngblood for the interest she took into my work and her invaluable support and encouragement during the thesis completion journey. I would also like to thank Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation for providing an opportunity to work on my research at the University of Vermont, which had crucial importance for its progression. I am grateful to my sister and friends for sharing my research passion and for their comfort, and to my cat, for always sitting by me while writing and bringing joy in the most stressful moments by his mere existence. 1 ავტორის სტილი დაცულია Abstract In my PhD thesis I investigate women’s representation in Georgian Soviet silent feature films of the 1920s decade. More concretely I analyze the passive, subordinate women’s representations in the beginning and assess shifts in the image of women by the end of the decade, following Soviet women’s emancipator politics. In Soviet context film industry was supposed to carry out official ideological tasks, which Georgian Cinema Section did not always fulfill successfully as in the first part of the decade it employed mostly directors with pre revolutionary cinematic experience. But the situation changed with the appearance of Georgian Lef members in the industry. Using semio-psychoanalysis and discourse analysis as a theoretical framework, I intend to provide an answer what was symbolic meaning of women’s images modification throughout the decade in the given ideological set. Studying women’s cinematic representations considering the tensed historical and artistic context throws a light on how a woman, as a sign functioned in Georgia’s cinema production’s narrative in terms of class struggle, in terms of representing “exotic” motherland, and the last but not the least what was a desired-”correct” female type for ideology in the 1920s. Analyzing this aspect provides a crucial link for understanding how traditional female role was modified and a new kind of “femininity” was shaped through political and social changes, and how the very same femininity was carried out throughout Soviet discourse in following decades (which is a question of further researches). 2 ავტორის სტილი დაცულია

  • Mzia Chikhradze Modernism and Identity the Paradigm of Modernism
    Mzia Chikhradze Modernism and Identity The paradigm of modernism places it in a cosmopolitan area. The desire to become integrated into a unified artistic space generates not only common, similar artistic trends in modernist art, but also severely limits the borders between the specific national derivatives within it. Coupled with the fact that “national” became a dangerous and unpopular topic after World War I, the modernism that developed in Central Europe developed as an anti-national phenomenon. Georgia enjoyed a short period of independence from 1918 to 1921. Not only Georgian modernism, but also the distinctive model of the Tbilisi avant-garde flourished during this time. It was based on a creative collaboration between different nationalities, their multinational and intercultural art. The specificity of the Tbilisi avant-garde was characterized by integrating different national characteristics into a unified artistic system. Despite the artists’ differing individual and national backgrounds, a unified artistic language was formed and this unique language determined the emerging art’s diversity and vivid imagery. The art and culture that developed in the bosom of independent Georgia generally carried a trace of Georgian national characteristics. The question arises: How organic and relevant is distinctiveness by national features in the context of modernism, which, as already mentioned, promotes cosmopolitanism. The priority of nationality should be considered as a hindering factor in terms of modernist values. However, the specifics of Georgian modernism and the Tbilisi avant-garde differed from the European ones. Namely, as Italian futurism stated and Tommaso Marinetti, its founding father, wrote in his Manifesto of Futurism: “We want to destroy museums and libraries, fight against morality, feminism, and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice ..

Moreelse in un soggiorno a Roma (1617-1620 circa), si avvicinò, con il conterraneo D. de Haen, al Caravaggio e ai caravaggeschi (Deposizione di S. Pietro in Montorio). Altre opere datate si trovano nei musei di Oslo (1622), Amsterdam (1623), Magonza, Utrecht. FILATELIA SPAGNA BUSTE POSTALI BACKER JACOB DE o BAKER (Belgio) Nato ad Anversa, 1555 circa e ivi morto, 1585 circa. Non si hanno dati precisi sulla vita di Jacob de Backer; oltretutto viene spesso confuso con il pittore fiammingo suo omonimo Jacob Adriaensz Backer. Secondo la RKD Jacob de Backer sarebbe nato ad Anversa nel 1540/45 circa e sarebbe morto nella stessa città fra il 1591 e il 1600. De Backer da ragazzo è stato abbandonato dal padre. Carel van Mander afferma che Jacob de Backer fu allievo di Antonio van Palermo ed Hendrik van Steenwijk il Vecchio. Sebbene sia considerato un pittore manierista e siano visibili influssi di Giorgio Vasari, non sembra sia mai stato in Italia. Il ciclo dei Sette vizi capitali fu acquistato da Cosimo Masi, segretario del cardinale Alessandro Farnese il Giovane nel 1594 ed è conservato nel Museo di Capodimonte a Napoli.
