Powrót „Dziadów”, czyli dwa teatry
Authors: Kopciński Jacek
Published: December 2021

The essay of Jacek Kopciński is dedicated to new realisations of Adam Mickiewicz’s Dziady (Forefathers’ Eve) in contemporary Polish theatre. The author juxtaposes performances of two leading avant-garde directors of younger generation: Michał Zadara and Paweł Passini, and analyses the interviews of both artists. The purpose of the essay is to reconstruct their artistic consciousness. This reconstruction leads to illustrate two interpretive strategies that correspond with different directions of development of Polish contemporary theatre. Zadara stages the entire text of the drama, but distorts its meaning to build a critical distance to romantic myths. Passini, however, made an adaptation of the drama, followed its metaphysical meaning and exposed it as a rite consistent with romantic idea. The author of the article puts Zadara’s performance in the current of critical theatre, while Passini’s intepretation is treated as an alternative proposal called imagined community theatre. The context for this discussion is the jubilee of the 250 anniversary of the National Theatre and the public theatre in Poland

Jakiej tradycji Polacy potrzebują? Rekonstrukcje, celebracje, protestacje, zadymy
Authors: Dąbrowska Danuta
Published: December 2021

The article takes the issues of contemporary understanding of cultural tradition and ways of cultivating culture after the 1989 breakthrough. Two basic thesis were accepted, with reference to Jerzy Jedlicki’s book entitled Jakiej cywilizacji Polacy potrzebują. Firstly, two tendencies clash in Polish culture – the conservative and the modernizing one, both present for a long time, but crystallized mainly in the nineteenth century. Secondly, the basic circle of tradition referred to in modern Poland remains the Romantic tradition, properly converted and adapted to the reality of modern Poland. It manifests itself both in the official celebrations of national anniversaries, as well as social protests scenarios and all kinds of historical reconstructions. Romantic cultural codes, symbols, gestures and rituals are used on these occasions. The modernization trends in Polish culture come to the fore especially after the Polish accession to the European Union, but their promotion often encounters various forms of resistance, since they are seen as a threat to Polish identity, understood as founded on patriotic and religious values.
O “małym Polaczku” Stefana Żeromskiego i „prawdziwej Polsce” Karola Irzykowskiego – prywatny wymiar polskości w obliczu Wielkiej Wojny
Authors: Niewiarowska Joanna
Published: December 2021

The article summarizes and compares the two biographical texts by writers who are difficult to compare in terms of aesthetics and political-ideological dimension − fragments of journals by Karol Irzykowski devoted to illness, death and remembrance of his daughter Basia and biographical memory of the dead of tuberculosis son Adam by Stefan Żeromski. The comparative perspective of both narratives of loss is present in their reflection on Polishness, increased in the circumstances of World War I. The analysis and interpretation shows that bearing witness to such a difficult personal existential experience paradoxically involves the necessity of re-positioning in and to Polishness. The memory of Adam Żeromski is subordinated to the social perspective, frame of collective memory, which makes it understandable why in Żeromski’s story he is the ‛little Poleʼ, and Basia is the subject to psychological and individual memory, collected memory, so she can be called the great Poland. In this sense, both texts are the media of culture of remembrance, which inherently clarifies and determines the experience of the Great War that seems to confirm the researchers’ diagnosis of a breakthrough significance of the period 1914–1918, also in the perspective of Polish identity.
Transmissions of Texts and New Technologies: Memory or Transformation?
Authors: Pietrzak-Thébault Joanna
Published: December 2021

The paper discusses some aspects of possibilities and dangers that new digital technologies bring in the camp of transmission of texts, especially the literary ones, and their scholar edition. While the new trends and achievements are still under discussion, a glance towards the similar situation of some 500 years ago, when printing press was introduced to replace, step by step, a manuscript communication, could be useful to understand what we experience and to foresee some ways these new technologies will probably undertake.
Murky Images. The Poetics of Intertextual Dissonance in the Apocryphal Films of Andrei Zviagyntsev
Authors: Pawłowska-Jądrzyk Brygida
Published: December 2021

The first two films of Andrei Zvyagintsev, The Return and The Banishment, deserve to be called modern apocrypha, as they methodically and comprehensively utilise elements of Christian symbolism and are part of the non- -canonical dialogue with religious messages. The films are characterised by a multiplicity of thematic plans that are outlined mainly through a variety of intertextual references. Among these relationships, a particular place is occupied by biblical and evangelical references, which are mostly mediated by artistic intertexts (especially paintings). The Russian director entangles the viewer in a subtle play of meanings: he evokes canonical scenes and stories, but distorts symbolic references, multiplying and confusing further interpretive clues. In addition to (completely inconsistent) references to the works of others, intertextual tensions are shown in his work on at least two levels: between different elements or levels of a given film (the function of the photograph motif next to the rest of the film text) and between the various films of Zvyagintsev himself (casting the same actor in both leading roles). The talented successor to Tarkovsky follows the mystery of human fate, eager to capture the metaphysical community of critical experiences. This mystery in the work of Zvyagintsev emerges in a quite obvious way from the eternal truths established in archetypes, in biblical and evangelical wisdom. It is much easier to see it in the fusion of ‛murky imagesʼ than it is to understand.

O „duchowości następczej” i kiczosferach emocjonalnych w dwóch ujęciach literackich (Irzykowski – Dehnel)
Authors: Pawłowska-Jądrzyk Brygida
Published: December 2021

This article examines a phenomenon associated with a certain – and today increasingly common – attitude in life that can most simply be described as the marriage of inauthenticity with imitationism. The author focuses her attention on feelings of love (as particularly ‘severe’, and at the same time probably the most mythologised), or rather on their literary depiction, which allows an accurate diagnosis to be made of the sensibility typical of a consumer society obsessed with money, subject to the dictates of mass media and under pressure from the ideals and ideas of pop culture. A diagnosis of this kind comes in the form of Jacek Dehnel’s short story Miłość korepetytora [Love of the Tutor], which together with three other stories comprises the volume Balzakiana (2008). The young Polish writer, attempting to determine the condition of Polish society after the political transformation in 1989, makes conscious reference to the distant tradition of realistic prose from the legacy of Honoré de Balzac. As for a review of the sphere of individual feelings and emotions falsified by various stereotypes and abstract ideas, one can look to a tradition closer to Dehnel: namely the only novel of Karol Irzykowski – Pałuba [The Hag] (1903). The article shows some commonalities between the Young Poland concept of ‘successive-world phenomena’ and the contemporary vision of determining the emotional sphere through pop culture templates on the experience of romantic elation. References to the diagnoses of Abraham Moles, Milan Kundera and Hermann Broch allow, additionally in the cited contexts, the issues of ‘exaltation as a replacement of spirituality’ and kitsch as ‘our daily aesthetic and morality’ to be highlighted.
Bohater heterogeniczny – opera, cyrk i kicz w filmie Filipa Bajona „Aria dla atlety”
Authors: Tomczyk Izabela
Published: December 2021

The author analyzing Filip Bajon’s film Aria for an Athlete focuses on the relationship between opera and circus, paying attention primarily to their interrelationship and not the differences. According to the author, the category common to both shows is kitsch. Any kind of art has in its history phase of kitsch, yet what is derived from the kitsch can become the beginning of art. While describing the coexistence of opera and circus, author makes a study of three movie characters: Władysław Góralewicz, clown Max and tenor Babtisto Messalini. In her opinion, these representatives of respectively the world of circus or the opera, have a number of attributes that allow to assign them the culture which is alien to them. Max, circus clown, elevates kitsch, but also shows a duality of nature of both commedia dell’arte and film, Góralewicz, artist-wrestler rooted in the circus, longs for the opera, singer Messalini, whose profession is to create a culture, brings to life kitsch.
„Wielkie uproszczenie” i „dryfujące sacrum”. „Angel-A” Luca Bessona jako popkulturowy apokryf
Authors: Jazownik Monika
Published: December 2021

Apocrypha as testimony of non-canonical reading of sacred texts can provide a starting point for a discussion on works of popular culture. Luc Besson’s film Angel-A, as a kind of synecdoche of filmmaking about angels illustrates in a vivid, pop-culture way the trends of understanding and describing reality. The director’s portrait of the angel, much different from that proposed by the Bible, promotes a model of the world which provides a sense of freedom and lightness. In the end, however, does pop-culture have the power to release us from the weight of secrecy? It seems that everyone must experience that for themselves… Keywords: Luc Besson, angels, pop-culture, modern apocrypha, metaphysics
Kicz z importu? Wprowadzenie do odbioru i oceny japońskiej animacji
Authors:   Jacek Molencki, Jadwiszczok-Molencka Helena
Published: December 2021

This paper delves into the meaning of kitsch in Japanese popular culture through the analysis of their esthetical and ethical values, as well as historical-religious context. It proves also the difficulties of studying the aforementioned culture because of the geographical remoteness of this country and different mentality of its people. The text shows the beginnings of Japanese animation, called ‘anime’ for short, its essential parts and the overall canon. The most important aspect of this work is finding the answer whether anime and all its related products are associated with kitsch, camp or should they be interpreted as something completely different.
„Moja sztuka jest córką baroku i psychodelii” – twórczość Guillerma Péreza-Villalty w kontekście zjawiska kiczu
Authors: Pięcińska Anna
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to present the silhouette of Guillermo Pérez-Villalta, one of the most important contemporary artists in Spain, in the context of the idea of kitsch. The key question for one who would like to study Pérez- -Villalta’s pictures is the problem of the coexistence of the negatively regarded component like kitsch and the real respect for the painter treated as one of the most important figures of art in his country. What may seem even more curious is that Pérez-Villalta himself declares a really positive attitude to kitsch – he even says about being fascinated with it. This fascination may have its origins in the ideas represented by the socio-cultural movement from the 70-80s 20th century – la movida madrileña – that Pérez-Villalta was one of the co-founders. Movida was very keen on fun, laugh, colors and kitsch as well. Villalta painted two very important pictures then – Grupo de personas en un atrio o la alegoría del arte y la vida o del presente y el futuro (1975) and Escena, personajes en la salida de un concierto rock (1979), trying to show the relationships between the members of movida. Even now it is easy to find the elements of kitsch in Pérez-Villalta’s pictures but it does not in any way deny his originality and high position among contemporary Spanish most venerated artist.
Życie jako kicz. Uwagi o sztuce biologicznej
Authors: Mikołajewska Marta
Published: December 2021

Bio art is a specific trend of contemporary art practice, where artists adapt solutions offered by biosciences in order to create living works of art. Their actions are a subject to a discussion with dominant voices concerning the significance of such experiments for the fundamental ascertainments concerning what life is, but also for understanding the status of these constructed entities, which thus fur have not existed in nature. Posthumanist discourses such as aesthetics of care, non-anthropocentric aesthetics and zoe-aesthetics are a few examples of this type of reflection. However, is it possible that works, which could be described in terms of kitsch, constitute a solid ground for discussion of this kind? Clement Greenberg has written of kitsch that it is ʻmechanical and operates by formulas. Kitsch is vicarious experience and faked sensations. Kitsch changes according to style, but remains always the same. Kitsch is the epitome of all that is spurious in the life of our times . If kitsch represents everything that is spurious and non-authentic in our life, can we use it in order to make general statements concerning the basis of life? Can we make statements concerning the fundamental problem of life on the basis of projects, which confront us with glow-in-the-dark rabbits or paintings created with genetically modified colorful bacteria? In my paper I would like to refer to these questions on the basis of an artwork that can be classified in terms of kitsch.
Kategoria możliwości w myśli i pisarstwie Sorena Kierkegaarda
Authors: Kasperski Edward
Published: December 2021

The article presents the category of possibility, inferred from Kierkegaard’s works as one of primary for him. Contexts, responsible for both the typology of the concept, as well as an extension of its semantics and hermeneutical capabilities, situate at the same time the notion of possibility within the limits of modern and contemporary reflection on culture. The philosophical and theological existence of possibility as a basis for subjective recognition of the world of category culture, finally leads to the anthropological approach, in which the choice of will is being contrasted with externally interpreted histories and philosophies recognized in the spirit of historical Hegelianism. Reflections on the ‘opportunity’ define and expand the concept itself, and in a way they also affect the individualistic figure of the philosopher-writer, whom turns out to be Kiekegaard. They bring out the specificities not only in the field of writing, but also polemics and dialogue. Having allowed us to understand the polemical nature of the notion of possibility, he shows culture – not only romantic and incoherent, but also contemporary, full of possibility, based on the choice of the path belonging to an entity participating in culture (believing, philosophizing, writing, operating, communicating with others).
Mapowanie sektorów kreatywnych. W poszukiwaniu definicji i metody
Authors: Wróblewska Anna
Published: December 2021

The author discusses a new method, rarely used in Poland so far − a method of mapping cultural industries and creative industries. The concept of mapping creative industries is founded on the Anglo-Saxon ground and goes beyond the usual plotting of the maps. This method enables countries, regions and cities to estimate the value of the creative sectors. It is based on determining a set of analytical methods for collecting and presenting information on the scale and the scope of the creative industries. In mapping, both quantitative and qualitative methods are used, as well as such sources of knowledge, as literature review, analysis of official government data, research on specific sectors, analysis of data from non-governmental sources, analysis of the industry informants and case studies. Mapping can be a valuable tool in lobbying the creative class, but its main purpose is to deepen the knowledge about this sector of the economy, which is still not sufficiently analyzed. The author considers and analyses not only mapping as a way to describe the dynamic sectors of culture, but also the very definition of mapping the creative sector, outlining the opinion and comments of Krzysztof Stachowiak, a researcher of problems of concentration of cultural industries. What serves as a frame of the article, is the description of the film industry growing currently in Gdynia and the ways in which this mini-industry can be described using the principles of mapping creative industries.

Do czego konieczny jest język? Co jest konieczne w języku?
Authors: Danielewiczowa Magdalena
Published: December 2021

The article attempts to answer two closely interrelated questions: What is a natural language necessary for and, on the other hand, what is necessary in the language itself? In the first part the author puts forward a thesis that there is a gulf between human speech and animal codes − a gulf which cannot be filled with explanations of evolutionary nature. She also invokes a series of ideas of distinguished scholars who advocate the logical primacy of language in relation to all other semiotic systems that create the space of culture. In the second part of the article, the inalienable properties of language are discussed, those that determine its essence and, at the same time, the uniqueness with respect to both the animal signals and all other sign systems. These features include: double demarcation, duality, proportionality, the possession of reference and predictive expressions, metalinguistic and metatextual tools, as well as tools for communicating the truth and knowledge of the world.
Maluję rzekę Bug
Authors: Baj Stanisław
Published: December 2021

This draft is a record of the aesthetic and creative experiences associated with the Bug River. The author, who is a painter himself, proves that the oil technique is unique in terms of the possibility of achieving an effect of a flowing water. In the faint panes of the river you can see unusual emanations of light and improbable, delicate traces of distraction of its action. This unreal water structure of the Bug River is always vertical. For an oil painter, it is an important inspiration to reflect that rhythm of water in a suitable pattern of canvas paint, using its consistency, thickness, texture.

The article depicts ethnic, religious, as well as cultural and literary background of Bruno Schulz and his work. The author argues with some Schulz’s biographers and commentators in order to differentiate between facts and ‘myths’ or interpretations of writer’s life. Moreover, the author traces the main lines of Schulz’s foreign reception and addresses some critical remarks about translations of his work into English, as well as about the other examples of reading and popularizing Schulz’s legacy and heritage, especially in Anglophone cultural contexts.
Do czego konieczny jest język? – kilka uwag w kontekście ewolucji języka i antropologii słowa
Authors: Boroch Robert
Published: December 2021

The article refers to the hypotheses concerning the evolution of language presented in an article by Magdalena Danielewiczowa and entitled What is language needed for? What is necessary in language? The hypotheses proposed by Danielewiczowa have far-reaching methodological consequences for cultural studies, especially those that strike a balance between general linguistics, linguistic semantics, anthropological linguistics, and philosophy of language. The organisation of research on cultural phenomena requires methodological planning enabling the minimum conditions of modern research methods to be met. These conditions are: (1) the definition of cognitive goals; (2) the determination of methods for the identification of variables (methodology); (3) research hypotheses formulated in affirmative (not interrogative or negative) sentences; (4) the existence of a relationship between the logical or analytical implications of variables and hypotheses; (5) the negation of hypotheses (counter-argumentation); (6) the substantiation of hypotheses. In this article I develop Danielewiczowa’s remarks on ways of using the term evolution, while also indicating the consequences of disregarding the conditions of correct reasoning within the framework of the research programme called anthropology of the word.
O propagandzie w Polskiej Kronice Filmowej (na podstawie komentarza narracyjnego z lat 1971-1975)
Authors: Ciunowič Małgorzata
Published: December 2021

The aim of the article is to show how persuasion intertwined with artistry in the Polish Film Chronicle [Polska Kronika Filmowa]. The years 1971-1975 were a period of a relative stability; a time in which the voice of the authors could break through even in the texts primarily used for language manipulation. Therefore, it is worth looking at the linguistic realisation of persuasive aims, as well as at the genre features of the Chronicle, which testify to its uniqueness in comparison to other journalistic genres.
Upupianie Henryka, czyli Nekrošius inscenizuje Gombrowicza
Authors: Kopciński Jacek
Published: December 2021

The subject of the essay is the staging of Gombrowicz’s Ślub [The Marriage], directed by Eimuntas Nekrošius at the National Theatre in Warsaw, treated as an example of ‘creative betrayal’ of the stage arranger towards the author of the dramatic text. ‘Creative betrayal’ is a perfect metaphor for directorial interpretation, which consists not so much in the stage materialisation of the fictional universe of the drama, as in the translation of the literary work’s meanings into the signs of a theatrical work. Referring to the theory of the spectacle as intersemiotic translation, the author shows how the stage world remains a creative reaction to the dramatic situations and conflicts designed by the playwright, as well as – to put it much more broadly – the image of a man and the shape of reality. According to the author of the essay, such a reaction as a rule contains polemic elements in relation to the playwright’s vision. Nekrošius remains polemical towards Gombrowicz, but his criticism – included in the actions of actors, scenography, costumes, and all directorial solutions – takes on a very deceitful shape. In his interpretation of The Marriage, the Lithuanian director focused on the motif and the problem of betrayal, which seems to be crucial in his worldview, based on psychoanalysis and existentialist philosophy. In this way, the stage arranger’s ‘betrayal’ became only an ironic response to the author’s ‘betrayal’, proving in fact ‘faithfulness’ to the meanings of the The Marriage, which was not noticed by the reviewers of the performance. Recalling the statements of one of them, author makes us aware of the complicated relationship between the author of a dramatic work, its director and the reviewer of the performance. And at the same time – of how typical for the dynamics of cultural life is the conflict between the participants of the artistic and critical dialogue.
Na powierzchni i pod powierzchnią malatury – kryteria przezroczystości obrazu
Authors: Karapuda Arkadiusz
Published: December 2021

Should the artistic activity be understood as a reflection of the world or maybe a semi-transparent veil in front of the eyes of dilettantes, which is removed without their knowledge and will only serve for special occasions? The phenomenon of transparency accompanies humans from their first glimpse on the surface of a frozen lake. In case of visual arts, it refers both to the visible aspects of an artwork which result from its plastic form and to its intended intellectual features which impact its meaning. Individual nature of painting makes this field of art not entirely transparent, not entirely understandable, inaccessible for dilettantes and demanding effort from its recipient. Having in mind the thesis about not full transparency of the painting medium, one can say that it is the surface of the paint that enables to unite form and content of a painting, therefore, it is worth to remember the role of the surface, which in this case has the key meaning.

Referring to Regional Dress: Dutch Traditional Costumes as Recurring Inspiration for Contemporary Fashion Design
Authors: Kargól Marta
Published: December 2021

In this article, the author aims to classify and analyze the use of Dutch regional costumes as a source of inspiration by contemporary fashion designers. The strategies have been assigned the following concepts taken from literary (and cultural) studies: quote, allusion, paraphrase, pastiche and translation. The definitions of these concepts are used as tools for interpreting the ways in which Dutch regional costumes are made present by fashion designers in their outfits. The article discusses the role of distance and similarities between the source of inspiration and its interpretation in the contemporary fashion design.
Od imitacji do kreacji. Biżuteria sztuczna w 1 poł. XX wieku
Authors: Lipczik Agata
Published: December 2021

The article discusses the production of costume jewellery in the first half of the 20th century. During this period, the jewellery made of less expensive materials has undergone a revolution in terms of its function. In the 20th century, the adornments ceased to be only imitations of precious gems and gradually gained their own identity. Promoted by Coco Chanel and, later on, by other French fashion designers, costume jewellery has become an independent genre of body ornament. Due to its lower production costs, Agata Lipczik designers could experiment with various materials, giving free rein to artistic imagination. Costume jewellery was often designed by artists previously professionally associated with leading jewellery houses offering traditional jewellery. At the same time, the artists who later on worked in well-known jewellery companies, had been collecting their first experiences by designing costume jewellery. The two jewellery worlds constantly influenced each other, provoking themselves to develop. This trend was particularly noticeable in the USA where the production of costume jewellery has been a very important industry since the beginning of the 20th century
Granica życia i śmierci. Motyw kryształowej tafli w opowiadaniu E.T.A. Hoffmanna „Kopalnie w Falun”
Authors: Szybisty Tomasz
Published: December 2021

The article seeks to analyse the symbolic significance of the crystalline membrane featured in Elis Fröbom’s dream; he is the main character of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s short story entitled The Mines of Falun. There prevails extensive consensus in the critical literature, that the dreamy landscape of the cave externalises the deepest layers of Elis’ psyche; in addition, this scene presents a key to the understanding of the whole story. The application of hermeneutical close reading and the augmentation of this analysis through invoking the vintage symbolic that accreted around the notion and image of crystal in the literature, philosophy and the science of the Romanticism era warrant the postulation of a thesis, that the mute queen appearing in the aforementioned intriguing vision can be construed as a corporeal symbolisation of death, deeply yearned for by the main character. As far as the crystalline membrane partitioning the cave into two realms is concerned, we may hazard a surmise that it functions as a peculiar delineation of life, the frontier where the inorganic world transitions into its organic extension.
„Wszyscy wyszliśmy z wody”
Authors: Szczypiorska-Chrzanowska Magdalena
Published: December 2021

This essay is an attempt of meditation over the phenomenon of photography, its philosophy and practice. Questions are put forward about the ontological status of the subject captured on the picture, about what is – and what might be – time in photography, what is a photographic moment, what is a photographic ‘reality’ and ‘fiction’. The starting point and the photo-literary background of the essay is a juxtaposition of a daguerreotype from the literary fiction (from One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez) and a daguerreotype from the real photography (Boulevard du Temple by Jacques Daguerre). Selected philosophical motifs analysed in works of Susan Sontag, François Soulages, Hans Belting, Roland Barthes, Edouard Pontremoli, Giorgio Agamben and Henri Cartier-Bresson make the context of the academic analysis.

At present, in connection with globalization, the language is especially interested in cross-cultural understanding. Today, the interest in the study of original and translations of the text "Silence" in the world literary process is attracting the attention of orientalists and translators around the world. The scientific study of the content and phrase logical aspects of the novel "Silence" by world scholars, such as the creative personality, the writer's creative method, artistic skills, allows to identify and evaluate the features of the development of literature. According to structure of phrases, a phrase is a lexical unit that is equivalent to a sentence, semantically whole, has a generalized meaning, is not created in the speech process, but is ready to be introduced into the speech. According to the linguist Mamatov, phrases are a separate unit of language, which, according to their structure, is a free connection or equivalent to a sentence, fully or partially semantically reconstructed figurative, stable phrases. Phrases are specific figurative expressions of people's conclusions based on observation of life events, assessment of acceptable and unacceptable actions in society, generalization of life experiences. Writers are often not content to select and use phrases appropriate to the purpose of the image.

The sustainability of capture fisheries development in Indonesia faces various challenges, such as climate change, pollution, resource degradation, and pressure from fluctuating commodity prices. Furthermore, a policy breakthrough with proper strategy is needed in realizing sustainable capture fisheries development. This study aims to formulate the most appropriate policy from several existed alternative policies to achieve sustainable capture fisheries development. Primary and secondary data are used in this study. A prospective analysis (SMIC-Prob-Expert) approach is used to formulate priority policy scenarios for capture fisheries development in Indonesia. As results, the analysis brings about six main priority alternative policies, namely: (1) increasing utilization of fisheries resources (SDI), (2) increasing capture fisheries productivity, (3) increasing fishermen household income, (4) providing fisheries insurance/social security, (5) improving status utilization of SDI, and (6) increase in the value of capture fisheries non-tax state revenue (PNBP). The analysis shows that policy scenario 01 (111111) or by implementing all alternatives policy simultaneously is the best choice. If the policymakers are faced with options, then the policy scenario becomes the last option to be taken simultaneously is not to choose a policy of providing insurance/social security to fishermen; or in the in this case policy scenario 05 (111011).

BJBR is a famous mangrove tourism object in Probolinggo, it elevates the role of surrounding society and resources. However, it is needed to understand BJBR sustainability aspects and innovations needed to achieve sustainable tourism. This study aims to understand BJBR sustainability through 3 dimensions: ecology, social, and economic-based on RAPFISH-MDS analysis. Interviews and questionnaires were distributed to 47 respondents based on the PRA Approach and Snowball Sampling. The results show that the ecological dimension has the highest sustainability index is 78.81 (good/sustainable), followed by the economic dimension is 64.45 (quite sustainable), and the social dimension is 50.27 (quite sustainable). Sensitive attribute as a supportive indicator of sustainability in ecological dimension is the diversity of tree species outside the mangrove area to be a very (Leverage= 4.41), the economic dimension is a production of cultivated species on mangroves area (Leverage= 7.79), and social dimension is the practice of local culture within mangroves area (Leverage= 7.79). Strategies that can be applied to achieve BJBR tourism sustainability are to continue to carry out conservation that is packaged in responsible tourism, increasing economic growth by encouraging entrepreneurship, and forming networks between tourist sites and the surrounding area to encourage development.

Coral reefs in Negeri Hative Besar, Ambon City are in a bad category or almost lost, where the percentage of coral cover is very small. One form of management for sustainability is to provide economic value for the damage to coral reefs. The purpose of this study was to assess community perceptions, analyze the relationship between perceptions and willingness to pay for repairing damage to coral reefs and to estimate the economic value of coral reef damage. This study uses a survey method. Data analysis consists of an analysis of public perceptions, analysis of the relationship between perceptions and WTP, and analysis of non-market economic valuations. The results showed that the community had knowledge about coral reefs, the benefits of coral reefs, and damage to coral reefs. There is no relationship between perceptions and willingness to pay the community for repairing damage to coral reefs in Negeri Hative Besar. The economic value of damage to coral reefs through a non-market approach in Negeri Hative Besar is IDR 1,188,332.66/month or IDR 14,259,991.95/year.

The Global Dialogics of the New Age
Authors: Snyder Carey
Published: December 2021

The London-based weekly the New Age, edited by A. R. Orage from 1907 to 1922, was known for promoting spirited debates on politics, literature, and the arts. Scholars have been attentive to what Ann Ardis terms the magazine’s ‘unusual commitment to […] Bakhtinian dialogics in the public sphere’, but less so to the role that the letters column played in facilitating these often contentious, often transnational debates. This essay argues that the letters column functioned as a forum for linking not only individual readers and contributors from around the world, but also wider discursive and periodical communities. A case study of global dialogics, the essay focuses on an eleven-month debate that unfolded in New Age correspondence concerning the so-called black peril — the purported epidemic of black men attempting to rape white women in South Africa, which historians today regard as a moral panic fuelled by a desire to reinforce white supremacy. The flames of the panic were stoked by the Umtali case of 1910, in which Lord Gladstone commuted the death sentence of an Umtali native convicted of attempted rape to life imprisonment. This decision sparked mass protests and petitions among the white community in South Africa and a heated discussion about race and racism that reverberated throughout the empire, including in the columns of the New Age. The letters column served as an international forum, drawing in white settlers from Johannesburg, Crisis editor and NAACP founder W. E. B. Du Bois, Sudanese-Egyptian writer Dusé Mohamed Ali, and British suffragette Emily Wilding Davison, among others. This essay examines the gendered and racial politics of this debate and how it was shaped by its specific periodical context and by the national and ideological contexts of its interlocutors.
Le Génie du Nord: Sélection and the Advocacy of a Cosmopolitan Northern Culture
Authors: Kolokytha Chara
Published: December 2021

The article discusses the francophone review of art and literature Sélection published in Brussels (1920–22) and Antwerp (1923–33), Belgium, by André de Ridder and Paul-Gustave van Hecke. It takes as its point of departure the concept Le Génie du Nord [The Genius of the North], which was the title of a 1925 book published in Antwerp by De Ridder. The book mainly consists of essays previously published in Sélection between 1923 and 1924. De Ridder argues that France should not claim autonomy in the field of cultural production since throughout the centuries Nordic influence played a central role in its evolution. Although the book attracted little attention from the contemporary press, it offers a novel approach to the Nordic idea through the anticipation of a new classical order that distinguished itself from Southern classicism. While German expressionism is equally renounced, the book proposes a synthetic style — similar to the one that marked the gothic period — that also found expression in the art presented in Sélection. This style furnished a visual model for the invention of a new classical order stemming from the successful mingling of French rationalism with Flemish expressionism, a ‘constructive expressionism’ that became the precondition for a universal Nordic culture. The magazine was supportive of those French and Belgian artists who achieved a combination of the two styles — an ‘eclectic dualism’, in the words of Edmond Picard. Taking the origins of Gothicism and the Nordische Gesellschaft as case points of ideological complexity, the Génie du Nord concept forms an alternative discourse which intervenes in an ongoing art-historical and cultural debate that defines the identity of Sélection.
Online Conferences: A New Paradigm for Periodical Studies?
Authors: Satterthwaite Tim
Published: December 2021

In spring 2020, during the cataclysmic first wave of COVID-19, academic conferences across the world were postponed or cancelled. A rare exception was in the field of periodical studies: an asynchronous online conference, Future States: Modernity and National Identity in Popular Magazines, 1890–1945, co-directed by Andrew Thacker (NTU) and Tim Satterthwaite, which opened on schedule and ran for three weeks (30 March–17 April 2020). A selection of five papers from the conference forms the body of this special issue of the Journal of European Periodical Studies, and these are introduced below. Given the spate of online academic events that have followed, this introduction first offers some general thoughts on the Future States conference model, in the hope that its pioneering approach may be of interest.
