  • (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.

    Ni{ i Vizantija X 105 Ruth E. Kolarik SEASONAL ANIMALS IN THE NARTHEX MOSAIC OF THE LARGE BASILICA, HERACLEA LYNCESTIS The extraordinary floor mosaic in the narthex of the Large Basilica at Heraclea Lyncestis, near Bitola in Macedonia is unique not only for its artistic quality, but also for its subtle imagery (Fig. 1, 2).1 The mosaic was discovered and extensively published by Gordana Tomašević who saw the mosaic as a literal depiction of the cosmos as described by the sixth-century geographer Cosmas Indiceupleustes. She divided the elements of the mosaic into zones: ocean, earth, paradise and highest heaven.2 The mosaic does indeed depict ele- ments of terrestrial creation, earth framed by ocean. The line of trees and ani- mals represents the earth, while the figures in the frame depict sea creatures.3 Its depiction of the earth is unique and specific, however, including trees,4 plants, birds and animals that reference the changing times of the year. This paper con- cerns the seasonal animals.5 The Heraclea mosaic dates to the first half of the sixth century, prob- ably to the 520s or 530s.6 Its frieze-like composition of trees and animals is quite typical of its time. A near-contemporary mosaic from Nikopolis in Epirus, for example, has fauna, mostly birds combined with a line of trees in multiple frames, one of which contains water creatures. Its inscription explains the sub- 1 I would like to thank the organizers of the 2011 Niš and Byzantium Symposium, especially Miša Rakocija for inviting me to submit this article, even though I was unable to attend the conference.

    279487115 АКТО_4 FESTIVAL FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS TOPIC_GENERATIONS AKTO_4 Festival for Contemporary arts will be held from 12.08 - 16.08.09 in Bitola, Republic of Macedonia. Akto is a regional festival for contemporary art which includes visual arts, performing arts, music and theory of culture. The main objective of Akto Festival is to open the cultural frameworks of a modern society through “recomposing” and redifning them in a new context. The programme of the festival is based on two concepts. The frst concept is space/location_ Locations have been transformed in terms of their previous meanings. The basic idea of the festival is art pieces to come out of the standard location (galleries, museums, theatres) used for presenting art, and their setting up in new location. Re-moving of the pieces into new location transforms the piece itself (according to the parameter space). The second concept is the topic of the festival_ The topic of Akto_4 festival is Generations. The artistic pieces (according to the parameter Generations) are going to be presented in two categories: artistic pieces that have generations as a basic starting point and pieces that are transformation of an already fnished artistic forms (also according to the parameter Generations). The “new” piece is transformed from its basic form. It has new statics and dynamics. The topic Generations deals with the issue of generations and initiates several questions: Are the ties between today’s young generations with the generation of their parents broken? Are today’s young generations

  • “Notes and Studies of Prespa in the Branislav Rusic Archoves at The
    “Notes and Studies of Prespa in the Branislav Rusiќ Archives at the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and the Arts” Branislav Rusiќ was a member of the first post-war generation of Macedonian ethnographers who set the groundwork for ethnographic studies of Macedonia. His family originated from the village of German in Lower Prespa, now in Aegean Macedonia. He was born in the village of Tomino in the Poreč region, he received his primary and secondary education in Prilep, Kruševac and in Bitola, and in 1937 received a degree in ethnography from Belgrade University. He received his doctorate from Zagreb University in 1951. From 1939 to 1946 he worked at the State Archives and at the Ethnographic museum in Belgrade. In 1946 he moved to the newly established university in Skopje, where he formed a group on Ethnology, which he lead until 1958. From 1958 to the end of his life in 1971 he was a professor of Ethnography in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. He was concurrently in charge of the division on folk costumes at the Folklore Institute in Skopje. Rusiќ’s greatest contribution to the ethnographic study of Macedonia is undoubtedly his extensive field research of every part of the country, either alone early in his career, or on field studies with his students in later years. He began his field research as a student in 1934 as a student at Belgrade University. There is hardly a village in Macedonia that escaped a study by Rusiќ, though his most voluminous studies were concentrated mostly in the regions of Poreč, Železnik, Debarce, Struga, Ohrid, Prespa, Slavište, Pijanec, Delčevo, Osogovia and Capari.
