Foundation for Visual Culture Nina Sosna Monumentality ephemerated Monuments, which are generally considered visual, become the object of visual research much less frequently than any other art form. However, closer investigation shows that monuments are an interesting model or even frame of analysis. They are quite peculiar, and paradoxical objects, as they controversially combine many different kinds of things: the immaterial traits of collective imaginaries and the heavy materiality of stone or bronze, fluctuations of memory and the conservation of ideology, object and remnant, arrested past and an attempt to change the future. 1. Russia is currently going through a period of instability that is caused, not only by today's situation of an almost uncontrolled globalized world economy, but also by the transitional form of (post)socialism. There is a temporal factor that affects the very structure of the status quo.

  • Names in Multi-Lingual, -Cultural and -Ethic Contact
    Oliviu Felecan, Romania 399 Romanian-Ukrainian Connections in the Anthroponymy of the Northwestern Part of Romania Oliviu Felecan Romania Abstract The first contacts between Romance speakers and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. These contacts continued through the centuries till now. This paper approaches the Romanian – Ukrainian connection from the perspective of the contemporary names given in the Northwestern part of Romania. The linguistic contact is very significant in regions like Maramureş and Bukovina. We have chosen to study the Maramureş area, as its ethnic composition is a very appropriate starting point for our research. The unity or the coherence in the field of anthroponymy in any of the pilot localities may be the result of the multiculturalism that is typical for the Central European area, a phenomenon that is fairly reflected at the linguistic and onomastic level. Several languages are used simultaneously, and people sometimes mix words so that speakers of different ethnic origins can send a message and make themselves understood in a better way. At the same time, there are common first names (Adrian, Ana, Daniel, Florin, Gheorghe, Maria, Mihai, Ştefan) and others borrowed from English (Brian Ronald, Johny, Nicolas, Richard, Ray), Romance languages (Alessandro, Daniele, Anne, Marie, Carlos, Miguel, Joao), German (Adolf, Michaela), and other languages. *** The first contacts between the Romance natives and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. As a result, some words from all the fields of onomasiology were borrowed, and the phonological system was changed, once the consonants h, j and z entered the language.

    Adiaphora: The New Culture of Russians and Eastern Jews in Berlin Brian Poole (For Nadja, the indifferent one) Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. (W. H. Auden, "The More Loving One") Indifference has a bad reputation these days. It is considered to be a pas- sive and pessimistic attitude. Those who are indifferent or apathetic don't help others, they don't get involved-they don't care. The proverbial bane of indifference reappears in sociological studies of urban modernity in the guise of a seemingly nonchalant tolerance for the most heinous crimes of our last century. Indifference purportedly reflects the spiritual vacuum of urban man caught in the cogwheels of an ostensibly autonomous bureau- cracy. It is the mirror image of the ethically degenerated and politically disenfranchised subject, able but unwilling to act, and incapable of expressing sympathy and solidarity. Thus the indifferent appear to be more than pliant subjects attempting to recede from the winds of time and the whims of social pressures. Pliant, they appear-for lack of oppo- sition-to comply, to abet, to condone. In short, indifference is the crime of the century. When social critics and sociologists speak of urban indif- ference, the Holocaust and German history is not far 0ff.l There are, of course, other forms of indifference. The antique Stoic tra- dition of indifference was one of the strongest and most productive ethi- cal currents in philosophy; it commanded the respect of philosophers from the classical Greek age to the end of the Enlightenment and beyond.

But this was just the end of what have been 10 years of show trials against artists and dissidents, trials which Putin's system used to hinder any kind of democratic change whatsoever. The project “The Moscow Trials” attempts to inject impetus into rigid Russian circumstances through the form of political theatre. In Moscow's Sakharov Center a court is being set up in which a three- day trial show will provide the stage for the exponents of Russia's cultural war. There are no actors on stage; instead there are real-life protagonists: Artists, politicians, church leaders, proper lawyers and a proper judge. A lay court made up of six Moscow residents will reach a verdict: For or against democracy, for or against artistic freedom.
