TRADICIÓN CULTURAL Y ETNOGRÁFICA COMO PALIMPSESTO Elena Galea Pozo (Universidad de Córdoba) [email protected] RESUMEN: El presente artículo sigue las huellas de diferentes manifestaciones literarias en las obras de los cineastas José Val del Omar y Sergei Paradjanov. El cine de ambos es poético, espiritual y místico, y destaca por ser revolucionario en lo que se refiere a la creación de códigos iconográficos —para lo que se valen de textos donde aparecen la tradición cultural etnográfica, el folclore, leyendas populares y doctrinas místicas. PALABRAS CLAVE: cine experimental, mística, etnografía, poesía, religión, Val del Omar, Paradjanov. VAL DEL OMAR AND PARAJANOV’S POETIC-MYSTICAL CINEMA. ETHNOGRAPHICAL AND CULTURAL TRADITION AS A PALIMPSEST ABSTRACT: The present paper follows the traces of different literary expressions in the works of filmmakers José Val del Omar and Sergei Parajanov. Their cinema is poetic, spiritual and mystical, and it is remarkable for being groundbreaking regarding the creation of iconographic codes through the use of texts where ethnographic cultural traditions, folklore, popular tales and mystical theories are displayed. KEYWORDS: Experimental cinema, mysticism, ethnography, poetry, religion, Val del Omar, Parajanov. Las obras cinematográficas de los cineastas José Val del Omar y Serguei Paradjanov comparten ciertos aspectos que constituyen un cine con forma de poesía visual mística y en las que intervienen elementos poéticos y literarios, así como elementos de varias doctrinas místicas (fundamentalmente cristianas y musulmanas) y ciertas técnicas cinematográficas.

  • Searching for Inclusive Narrative: Crimean Tatars in Ukrainian Films
    Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej ■ LIII (3) Olga Gontarska The Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences Searching for inclusive narrative: Crimean Tatars in Ukrainian films … no savage conquerors, no looters, but equal to Zaporozhians – our ancestors …не як дикі зайди, грабічники, а на рівні з запорожцями – наші предки Omelian Pritsak!1 Zarys treści: Kinematografia, w tym kinematografia ukraińska, jest wciąż niedocenianym źró- dłem w badaniach historycznych. Ukraińskie filmy doby niezależności stanowią natomiast bardzo interesujące i ważne źródło ilustrujące zmiany społeczne i różne perspektywy patrzenia na historię w okresie transformacji. Po 1991 r. określenie roli i miejsca Tatarów Krymskich w historii i społeczeństwie Ukrainy stało się istotnym wyzwaniem dla historiografii i państwa. Ukraińskie filmy fabularne z okresu 1991–2017 to dowody podejmowania prób zmierzenia się z tym tematem i reprezentacja różnych koncepcji dotyczących kwestii krymskotatarskiej. Outline of contents: Films, including Ukrainian feature films, remain an undervalued source in historical research. However, Ukrainian movies produced in the period of independence are an interesting and important source and mirror social changes and various perspectives regarding history in the times of transformation. After 1991 it was a significant challenge for the state and historians to define the role of the Crimean Tatars in Ukrainian history and society. Ukrainian feature films from the years 1991–2017 are evidence of attempts to address and present various concepts related to this issue. Słowa kluczowe: kinematografia ukraińska, Tatarzy Krymscy, narracja historyczna, film histo- ryczny, Chanat Krymski Key words: Ukrainian movies, Crimean Tatars, historical narrative, historical films, Crimean Khanate 1 О.

Vladimir Putin was re elected in 2004 in an election process the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) determined did not adequately reflect principles necessary for a healthy democratic election, particularly in equal access to the media by all candidates and secrecy of the ballot. However, the voting itself was relatively free of manipulation, and the outcome wasLibrary generally understood to have represented the will of the people.

Chechen security forces at times appeared to act independently of the Russian command structure, and there were no indications that federal authorities made any effort to rein in those forces' extensive human rights abuses.
