Successful treatment of post-pericardiotomy syndrome via C1 inhibitor replacement therapy in a hereditary angioedema patient with Marfan syndrome
Authors: Topyıldız Ezgi , Şenol Handan Duman , Gülen Figen , Demir Esen , Gökmen Nihal Mete
Published: April 2023

Background. Hereditary angioedema with C1 inhibitor deficiency (HAE-C1INH) is caused by dysfunctional C1-INH protein due to mutations in the SERPING1 gene encoding C1-INH. Marfan syndrome is a genetic connective tissue disease that affects the cardiovascular and ocular systems along with the skeletal system. In this case, we present the successful treatment of post-pericardiotomy syndrome unresponsive to classical therapy, which has not been described in the literature. The syndrome developed in a patient with hereditary angioedema (HAE) who underwent open heart surgery due to cardiac involvement in Marfan syndrome.
Case. A nine-year-old male HAE-C1INH patient underwent open heart surgery secondary to cardiac involvement caused by Marfan syndrome. To prevent HAE attacks, 1000 units of C1 inhibitor concentrate therapy were given 2 hours before and 24 hours after the operation. Post-pericardiotomy syndrome was diagnosed on the postoperative second day and ibuprofen 15 mg/kg/day (3 weeks) was started. Since there was no response to classical treatment on the 21st postoperative day, C1 inhibitor concentrate treatment was planned as 1000 units/ dose for 2 days a week considering a prolonged hereditary angioedema attack. In the second week of treatment, complete recovery was achieved for pericardial effusion with a total of 4 doses.
Conclusions. We emphasize that in patients with hereditary angioedema undergoing this treatment, care should be taken in terms of complications that may be associated with the disease even if short-term prophylaxis is given before operations and that longer-term use of C1 inhibitor concentrate has a place in treatment.

Published: April 2023

Background. Primary ovarian tumors are rare in the pediatric age group. We reviewed our 40-year experience with ovarian tumors to evalute the clinical features and treatment results in a single institution.
Methods. Between January 1975 and October 2015, 124 girls with primary ovarian tumor were diagnosed and treated in our center. Tumors were identified with biopsy or total resection and/or serum markers. Seventy four children were included in the treatment analysis.
Results. Median age for 124 children was 11.0 years (0.73-17.63). The main complaint was abdominal pain in 85 patients (68.5%). One hundred and five patients (84.6%) had total one-sided salpingo-oophorectomy and five patients had bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Amongst 124 cases, 29 patients had mature teratoma, which was the most common tumor in this study. Dysgerminoma (n=21) was the most common malignant histopathologic type. Stage I disease was diagnosed in 57.2% and stage IV in 6.6% of the patients. Five year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) for 124 children were 82.5% and 76.3% respectively. For 74 children who received treatment, 5-year OS and EFS were 75.2% and 67.1%, respectively. Age (p < 0.017), histopathological subgroup (p < 0.001), stage (p =0.003) and chemotherapy protocols (p =0.049) were significant prognostic factors for OS.
Conclusions. The survival rates in children with ovarian tumors were comparable with studies in the literature. Although patients treated with platin based regimens had better survival rates, prognosis was still poor for the patients in advanced stages. This should be the focus for further studies and improvements.

Background. School readiness (SR) has been adopted by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as a component of health supervision, but the medical community`s role is unknown. We evaluated the pediatricians` attitudes, practices, and perceived barriers to SR.
Methods. This multicenter, cross-sectional descriptive study was performed among 787 general pediatricians, pediatric residents, subspecialists, and subspecialty fellows. A 41-item survey was administered.
Results. Forty-nine point two percent of the pediatricians defined SR as a multidimensional issue, as outlined by the AAP, whereas 50.8% defined it as the child`s set of skills or passing the SR tests. Three-quarters of pediatricians believed that SR assessment tests are necessary before starting school, and children who do not appear ready should wait a year. To promote SR, the rates of usually fostering at least four of the five `Rs` (reading, rhyming, routines, rewarding, relationships) and integrating developmental surveillance into daily practice were 37.8% and 23.8%, respectively. Only 2.2% of pediatricians usually inquired about eight adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and 68.9% did not usually ask about any. Usually fostering at least four of the five `Rs` was associated with usually integrating developmental surveillance (p < 0.001), usually inquiring about each ACE (p < 0.001), and being perceived as responsible for promoting SR (p < 0.01). Training on SR during pediatric residency was 2.7%. Time constraints and insufficient knowledge were the most common barriers.
Conclusions. Pediatricians were not familiar with the concept of SR and had some misconceptions. There is a need for additional training regarding pediatricians` roles in promoting SR along with addressing multiple, modifiable barriers within the health system. < strong > Supplementary: < a href="https://www.turkishjournalpediatrics.org/uploads/2573-supplementary.pdf" target=`_blank` > Supplementary Appendix < /a > < /strong >.
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy of adolescents with psychiatric disorders and their parents: data from a child psychiatry outpatient clinic
Authors: Ateş Burçin Özlem , Özyavuz Gözde , Cöngöloğlu Mehmet Ayhan
Published: April 2023

Background. Vaccinating adolescents and determining the factors influencing their vaccination status are critical in the event of a pandemic. One of the factors affecting vaccination is vaccine hesitancy, which is an increasing problem worldwide. Vaccine hesitancy and the vaccination rates of some special groups, such as psychiatric patients and their families, may differ from the general population. The purpose of this study was to identify any vaccine hesitancy to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in adolescents evaluated in a child psychiatry outpatient clinic, as well as to determine the factors influencing vaccination in these adolescents and their families.
Methods. Two hundred forty-eight adolescents examined in the child psychiatry outpatient clinic were evaluated using a semi-structured psychiatric interview, strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ), the fear of COVID-19 scale, and a form about coronavirus vaccine hesitancy. The parents completed the vaccine hesitancy scale and answered the vaccine hesitancy questions.
Results. The vaccination rate was higher in patients with anxiety disorders. The patient`s age (odds ratio [OR]:1.59; 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.26, 2.02), the parent`s vaccine hesitancy (OR: 0.91; CI:0.87-0.95), the status of chronic disease in a family member (OR: 2.26; CI:1.10, 4.65), and the vaccination status of the adolescent`s parents (OR:7.40; CI:1.39, 39.34) were found to be predictive for adolescent vaccination. While 2.8% of the adolescents said that they were definitely against getting vaccinated, 7.7% were undecided. While the rate of undecided parents was 7.3%, those who were against vaccination was 1.6%.
Conclusions. Age, parental vaccine hesitancy, and parental vaccination status can affect the vaccination of adolescents admitted to a child psychiatry clinic. Recognizing vaccine hesitancy in adolescents admitted to a child psychiatry clinic and in their families is beneficial for public health.
Polymethine Dyes Based on 2,2-Difluoro-1,3,2-dioxaborine: a Minireview
Authors: Polishchuk Vladyslav M. , Shandura Mykola P.
Published: April 2023

Aim. To summarize and analyze literature data on the polymethine dyes containing the 2,2-difluoro-1,3,2-dioxaborine ring.Results and discussion. Boron difluoride complex of β-diketone (2,2-difluoro-1,3,2-dioxaborine, F2DB) is a unique structural motif endowing organic compounds with prominent physicochemical properties, such as a strong fluorescence and high mo-lar attenuation coefficients. Incorporation of the F2DB core into a polymethine chromophore either as an end-group or as an integral part of the polymethine chain allows obtaining dyes with exceptional characteristics, highly appealing for design of up-to-date functional materials. This review focuses on the synthesis and spectral properties of the F2DB-containing polymethines along with the latest advancement in the synthesis of highly fluorescent polyanionic polymethines. A brief discussion of the effects of the structural modification of the π-conjugated system on the photophysical properties of dyes is included.Conclusions. The literature on the F2DB-containing polymethines demonstrates a high potential of the F2DB core for the development of strongly fluorescent and intensely absorbing dyes.
Inter/Trans-Disciplinarity as a Platform for Seeking Universal Common Ground: From Speculation to Pragmatism Through Kristina Pulejkova's Wedding Route Art Project
Authors: Frangovska Ana
Published: April 2023

This paper aims to present one specific case study of the inter/trans-disciplinarity and inter/trans-mediality in Macedonian contemporary art – a project of the young Macedonian artist Kristina Pulejkova. The project, titled Wedding Route, is an immersive installation that deals with the overlapping of knowledge gained from the natural sciences and arts, while also questioning politics, ecology, technology.
Wedding Route deals with the life cycle and migration of the critically endangered European eel. No matter where they live, once sexually mature, they turn into a silvery color and make their final arduous journey back to Sargasso Sea, driven by their instinct. Lake Ohrid (the largest in Macedonia) is currently being artificially populated with eels, as this animal has been unable to migrate into the lake’s waters since 1962 when the first hydroelectric dam was built. Globally, the European eel population faces rapid declination, and its story is very much that of man-made borders, overfishing and death caused by habitat decline and climate change, hence preventing its millions of years old migration back to the Sargasso Sea.
Through an inter and trans-disciplinary approach that combines art, science, and technology, working with moving pictures, sound, and installation, Pulejkova aims to build subjective narratives relying on scientific data and principles. The project and its outcome is a pure example of speculative pragmatism, since through theoretical exploration and artistic visual simulation of the location and the appearance of the act of eel spawning (since scientists have so far only speculated on the occurrence of this mysterious event) she offers a pragmatic discussion on ecology, migration, and politics in general.

What Does it Mean to be a Man? The Aesthetics of Telling Crisis’ and Conflicts in Ngebe Gaa and Detox
Authors: Mbogo Fredrick
Published: April 2023

This paper is a reading of two films, namely, Ngebe Gaa (2019) and Detox (2016), in an attempt to discuss a supposed crisis of manhood in Eldoret, and the larger part of the North Rift Valley area of Kenya. The paper employs perspectives from canonical African works such as Okot P’Bitek’s Song of Lawino and Wole Soyinka’s The Lion and the Jewel, as well as Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s I Will Marry When I Want to uncover examples of the meanings of “man” in patriarchal settings but also in situations where shifts in economic, social and political life have taken place. In Ngebe Gaa, for instance, Mzee Maina, the main character, is set in his ways. His father-to-daughter relationship with his biological daughter, Chemesunde, is very much defined by reliable conceptions of being a man in his society. But this is thrown into confusion once matters get out of hand for him financially. This paper is thus interested in this troubled in-between identity that redefines “man” within such rural and peri-urban spaces, where the economy is not diverse, and there is a seeming non-changing culture on the surface but rapid reformulations of ideas at individual levels. Eldoret and its environs, where these two films are set, occupy such spaces. They can never escape the dominant suggestion that is specifically Kalenjin on what a “man” is, especially because the majority of the people around Eldoret and its outskirts are predominantly of the Kalenjin ethnic communities. Through cross-references from texts that explore the Kalenjin world view(s) such as in Kiprotich Arap Sambu’s The Misiri Legend Explored and Bill Ruto and Kipng’etich Maritim’s Kipsigis Heritage, this paper digs into the meanings of “man” and how often times they have been undermined in the worlds presented in Ngebe Gaa and Detox.

Tacktical Aesthetics: A Propositional Aesthetic Language Starting from Philosophies of Relationality
Authors: Bufardeci Louisa
Published: April 2023

Tacktical aesthetics is a propositional aesthetic language for an art that seeks to reinforce and reproduce values present in philosophies of relationality in place of those present in contemporary systems of domination. With this text I present some partial declarations about tacktical aesthetics that draw on Indigenous and feminist philosophies of relationality and on ideas of resingularization. As well as reflecting on the value of neologisms for this type of project, I discuss the various implications for tacktical aesthetics, including its relation to contemporary art and shock tactics, and the double bind that occurs when privileges inherent in contemporary art practices that reproduce or reinforce systems of domination are brought into question. The question that remains relates to how tacktical aesthetics might develop as an art practice.

Composing the Actual: Brainwave Sonification as Materialized Intensity of Virtual Relations
Authors: Jovićević Jasna
Published: April 2023

My recently performed experimental music performance I Sit and Worry About Her comprises a transdisciplinary research project that explores the function of large-scale cortical networks and application of EEG, monitoring the brainwaves in music making and perceiving. The project aims at understanding the activity of the brain and its electric impulses as an affect or intensity of virtual relations. There are several assemblages that relate rhizomatically in different dimensions inside an event; from minor gestures in the brain’s electric impulse continuum, its self-enjoyment and experience of sound frequencies, to the affective modality that creates authentic collective identity during the performance, thus questioning the unity of movement between subject and object. The project involves playing pre-recorded music content back to the performance space in real time, triggered by a threshold of a certain brainwave frequency; thus, it functions as a sonification of the brain’s electricity – a kind of materialization of a virtual property. Pre-recorded music is perceived in the performing space before the subject becomes a knower of the actualized potential, before she perceives her thought. Does that make me a composer of the perceiver’s actual dimension? If we apply this performance technique, is it possible to actualize the virtual open-social identity, even while involved in a social collaborative interaction?

Melodies, Moods, and The Zone as a Hole
Authors: Priest Eldritch
Published: April 2023

I traveled to Chernobyl in June 2018 with a small group of academics and artists to think about what dwelling in and passing through a zone of exclusion might entail, not in a metaphysical sense but also not not in a metaphysical sense. As I learned, thinking about The Zone (as I’ll call it) is not a straightforward affair. On the one hand The Zone is exactly what you might think it is – a radioactive territory whose crumbling ruins and growing wildlife bear witness to the failure of the soviet nuclear dream. Yet on the other it’s also not what you think it is, like a hole is not the nothing it appears to be but a something that, strictly speaking, it isn’t. Because of this ontological uncertainty The Zone is not only something to wander in but something to be wondered about. And as such, it may be better dreamed than simply thought of. Drawing on my zonal meanderings and a speculative-pragmatic form of acoustic ecology, as well as employing a liberal dose of poetic licence, I develop a fabulation that takes a stroll through a forgotten cemetery, an improvised melody played beneath a secret radar array, and a daydream had in a dilapidated post office as expressive of a thought experiment whose meaningful result is more a fictional achievement than a factual reckoning. Images and sounds from my peregrinations through The Zone figure in this work as elements that advance a story about a future people displaced by climate change who evolve the ability to lure affections from environmental spaces by casting melodies into them. In this future history we learn about the costs of noise and the nature of holes; we discover that media travel backwards in time, and we sense not what The Zone is but what mood it’s in.

Enter the Event: How is Immanent Participation?
Authors: Ramos Ana
Published: April 2023

This paper starts with the premise that the body is the primal media: a “body-worlding”. This event folds the world into its becoming-self, and unfolds a qualitative vibration. This is the dance of affect: being affected and affecting in return. Our daily lives are made of affective states. The concepts affective immersion and incorporeal materiality are here articulated in order to think affect embodiment, and embodiment itself, as body-worlding. It creates the conditions to rethink media, interactivity, and participatory art. Affective immersion occurs every time we are totally immersed in a situation’s unfolding dynamic relation: we become the unfolding relationality. The paper argues for a materiality real but abstract that has been called “incorporeal”. This is the affective territory where affective immersion happens. Deleuze and Guattari would call this territory a “plane of immanence”.

The Phenomena of the 21st Century Image: Instagram Iconography as an Extension of the Dominant Ideological Order
Authors: Vukčević Ana
Published: April 2023

In the digital and information society in which we live right now, image has the special status of one of the most attractive ways to communicate with others, transmit meaning and define one’s identity. Following Manovich’s theoretical concepts of Instagram class and Instagramism, I analyze the image shared via this platform in order to understand how it corresponds with current social and ideological paradigms. My premise is that Instagram image and its meaning and semantic structure are highly determined by dominant neoliberal and capitalist norms and values, class differences and power relations. It is formed by unwritten social codes that give visibility only to certain lifestyles, choices and preferences that reflect westernized upper classes. These social codes, along with aesthetic norms that make up what Instagramism is, deny adequate representations to marginalized groups and classes whose identity cannot fit into this cultural prototype. Therefore, Instagram as a platform and image that it produces are dominantly elitist and pro-capitalist by their very nature.

The Doomed Pursuit of Dignity: Artists as Property Guardians in and Against Artwashing
Authors: Vilenica Ana
Published: April 2023

This paper discusses the role of artists engaged in live-work property guardian schemes and their potentials to act in a dignifying way at sites of struggle over the regeneration of council housing in London. To gain this understanding, I will describe how artists are embedded in this context by looking at the interaction between artists and property guardian enterprises working on housing estates in London. I will critically examine the artist role through the lance of artwashing critical method, namely allyship of the art world with the real estate industry in the process of social cleansing of housing estates in the UK. Following this, I will discuss the potential of artists to act in a dignified way, drawing on interviews with artists that have lived as property guardians. I will talk about the frustration of artists that stems from their circumstances, namely torn between the necessity to survive within an unaffordable housing market in London and the wish to make art in an uncompromised way. Studying the instrumentalization of artists employed by real-estate industry property guardian enterprises and the artists' attempts to resist this instrumentalization is vital for any understanding of the recent mutations in the capitalist management of housing and art and vital for the attempt to establish new sites of artistic urban struggle for housing justice.

The Tuning of the World in the 20th and 21st Century: Discourses on Sound and Ecology
Authors: Leković Biljana
Published: April 2023

In this paper, I would like to systematize possible areas, disciplines, and practices that deal with sound and ecology. Also, I would like to research their potential in solving global environmental and sonic problems. I would explore this topic with the idea of following the genesis and continuity of the development of ecological thought and practice concerning sound and music: from the concept of acoustic ecology, as a key one, which since the 1970s has brought to the fore the question of the relationship between sound and the environment, i.e., sound in the environment, through other disciplines based on critical thinking about the relation between sound and current environmental problems.

Language as Poetry and Drama According to Benedito Nunes
Authors: Duarte Rodrigo
Published: April 2023

Benedito Nunes was a Brazilian philosopher and literary critic who developed his activities in the second half of the twentieth and the first decade of the twenty first centuries. A graduate in law, he was, in the beginning of his intellectual career, an autodidact in philosophy, until he could attend Merleau-Ponty’s and Paul Ricouer’s courses in France, in 1960. His publications, ranging from didactic books to treatises and anthologies of essays, approach mainly topics of aesthetics and philosophy of art (particularly philosophy of literature). In this article special attention is given to two of his most relevant books: Passagem para o poético. Filosofia e Poesia em Heidegger [Passage to the poetic. Philosophy and poetry in Heidegger] – winner of 1987’s Prêmio Jabuti award – and O drama da linguagem. Uma leitura de Clarice Lispector [The Drama of Language. A Reading of Clarice Lispector].

Maria Martins: Singular and Plural
Authors: Hussak Pedro , D'Angelo Marta
Published: April 2023

This article analyses two approaches to the work of Brazilian artist Maria Martins on the basis of texts by Brazilian art critic Mário Pedrosa and French surrealist poet Benjamin Péret dealing specifically with her production. The context of this two different approaches is the artist’s return to Brazil and her first exhibitions in the country in the early 1950s. While Pedrosa, from a reading based on the conceptions of modernism at the time, takes a critical stance towards Maria Martins, Péret defends surrealist principles, adopting a stance favorable to the artist’s work. The analysis of this two different approaches points out the relationship of the artist with Brazilian popular culture and the artistic avant-gardes of the first half of the 20th century, especially Martins’ approach to the surrealist movement.

Mário de Andrade’s Thinking on Aesthetics
Authors: Moraes Eduardo Jardim
Published: April 2023

This article presents Mário de Andrade’s thinking on aesthetics in the period from the Modern Art Week of 1922, when he read the essay “A escrava que não é Isaura”, to his final writings in the 1940s. Andrade’s aesthetics points to two directions. The first is the need for a renewal of artistic production in Brazil. The second is a consideration of art and its forms in their social dimension. These two directions appear both combined and in a rather tense opposition, in consonance with the distinctive traits of Andrade’s personality. A key aspect in this regard is his critical review of Modernism in his final years, in writings such as “O artista e o artesão”, of 1938, and in his 1942 conference entitled “O movimento modernista”.

Perspectives for a Metaphorology of Anthropophagy: Blumenberg, Montaigne and Oswald de Andrade
Authors: Lavelle Patricia
Published: April 2023

When one examines modernist anthropophagy from the perspective of a new theoretical-methodological instrument – Hans Blumenberg’s metaphorology – one notices that the very object of literary and critical study is reconfigured. Understood as a theoretical metaphor, anthropophagy appears as a complex intertextual network interacting with the social and aesthetic debates of its time; it is also widened and historically transformed, crossing over different discussions. After all, this new metaphorical object exceeds the modernist moment, suggesting the need for a future, more exhaustive study, one that would include anthropophagy’s revisiting after modernism, arriving even at its contemporary usage, as in Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. On the other hand, a critical reading of the anthropophagy metaphor enlightens significant aspects of this theoretical methodological tool, establishing bridges between metaphorology and anthropology.

А New Theatre Experience: Page Experience Signals
Authors: Krstić Nataša
Published: April 2023

In the digital age struggling with the pandemic, theatres strive to gain new and retain old audiences by providing user experiences online. Information about events, electronic ticket purchasing, and live streaming require improved website functionality, where Page Experience Signals, the latest practice recommended by Google, have been gaining importance. As part of this research, five experiential signals were analyzed on a sample consisting of 18 Belgrade theatres’ homepages: Core Web Vitals, Mobile-friendliness, Safe browsing, Secure connection, and the absence of intrusive interstitials. All analyzed websites were found to provide safe internet search and generally did not contain disruptive content on their homepages. Given that an increasing number of visitors are using mobile devices to search for and purchase tickets, several theatres should pay attention to the need to optimize their website for mobile visits, and to secure the data transfer protocol. In addition, common weaknesses in the theatres’ Page Experience Signals were highlighted – the slow homepage loading performance and achieving their visual stability; the webmasters were also given proposals on overcoming them during the transition period after the algorithm change. The recommendation for future research is to assess at the end of 2021 whether the Page Experience Signals of the Belgrade theatres have contributed positively or negatively to their organic search performance on Google.

Trans-Tactical Performance Actions as an Antagonistic Form in Dealing with the Hegemonic Forms of Neoliberal Policies of Power
Authors: Frangovska Ana
Published: April 2023

Public space is where the interests of the community and its individuals as entities are articulated. It is fundamental to democratic governments. And as such, there should be reconciliation between the interests and actions of governmental policies and those of the citizen’s public interests as healthy democratic procedures. Unfortunately, this is not the case, since the neo-liberal and quasi-democratic societies still use hegemonic methodologies to implement their policies and ideologies, bypassing harsh criticism of public opinion and critical thought, even in the realm of public space. Such approaches are initiatives for actions in the field of cultural and artistic interventions performed in the spirit of trans-tactics (such as transmediality, transdisciplinarity, transhistoricism, transmemory, transnationalism), opposing the norms of social constraints and distorted values of the domination of capital, as opposed to history, collective memory, quality, and identity as paths to contemporaneity.
This paper deals with the artistic actions carried out by a young group of individuals – Filip Jovanovski (artist), Ivana Vaseva (curator) and Kristina Lelovac (actor). It’s about a trilogy of performative actions: “If Buildings Would Talk”; “The Universal Hall in Flame” and “Dear Republic” which took place between 2015 and 2021. These are contemporary forms of cultural and artistic actions of an interactive character, which can be defined as trans-tactical performance essays. These participatory forms also point to the distorted boundaries of contemporary art in the public space of today where the loss of the boundaries of mediality, discipline, nationality, historicism become the main matrix for action against the policies of power.

Cryptoart and Digital Humanities: Transtechnological Perspectives and the Challenge of Tactical Positions
Authors: Stojanović Dragana
Published: April 2023

Contemporary times always pose a challenge for theoreticians who try to map it and encode it. Nevertheless, it is more than important to grapple with present times and bring out the topics that can engage understanding of present discourses, potentials, and possibilities. It is even more true with art and humanities that, each on its side, faced significant challenges from the rise of technology-driven reality. As for the art, it seems that technology gives more opportunities and options than ever, but it is not without questions of value, authenticity, ownership, commodification, or artivist practices. As for the humanities, they already faced the alleged “crisis” due to the new wave of technocracy. New technology offers new media, new languages, and new discourses. But is it all good news? Should art and humanities form a kind of a (trans)tactical (im)pact and adopt the technology language, or would such a turn create more slippery points than easy-going practices? This paper will try to examine transdisciplinary and transtechnological coordinates of art and humanities taking the case study of cryptoart and blockchain system usage in contemporary artistic practices. This will also engage the discussion about digital humanities, which might be one of the next transdisciplinary steps to continue the fierce line of experimentation, and to combat the trend of going back to disciplinary frameworks.

Back from the Future: Theatre and Performance in Central Eastern Europe Beyond the Anthropocene, 1920–Today
Authors: Braun Micha
Published: April 2023

Theatre is and has always been a practice of imagination – especially of alternative worlds, spaces, and futures. This does not only apply to theatre and performance in its well-established and acknowledged forms, but even more to non-conformist or experimental practices that deal with repressive, authoritarian regimes or with a perception of crisis in general. At least since the historical avant-gardes of the early 20th century, an outlook onto alternative futures that can handle or even overcome these crises has been a regular feature of theatre and performance practice.
A particularly imaginative approach within such projections features notions of a human-less time and space – a world beyond the Anthropos. The resulting notions of a deserted world, of a continuing (and perhaps flourishing) ecosystem, or a lifeless wasteland ‘populated’ only by objects, robots, or other remnants, can be perceived as an expression of a certain awareness of a world in peril – ecologically, politically, and socially – already in their time of origin.
Utilizing a comparative approach, my paper examines several instances of those theatrical practices between the historical avant-garde, the neo-avant-garde and the present time, with a special focus on Central Eastern Europe. Exemplary projects and works like Karel Čapek’s drama R.U.R. (1920 with several stagings in the following years), or Paweł Althamer’s social experiment Common Task (2009 ff.) will be introduced as well as the conceptual perspective of Reism (thing-ism), formulated by the Slovenian group OHO (around Marko Pogačnik, 1966 ff.). From the common viewpoint of the mentioned projects – back from a future beyond the Anthropocene – a radically different relationship to the world, nature, and the subject arises: instead of an anthropocentric mastery over the world, a more or less non-hierarchical way of dealing with subjects, objects, animals and people can be observed.

The Impacts of Digitalization on Traditional Forms of Art
Authors: Tvrdišić Sara
Published: April 2023

During the technological revolution, many aspects of human perceptions changed. Now with the method of digitalization, paintings that were once oil on canvas or huge works of art posted in galleries have become merely a replica of themselves, with binary code in the background. The materiality of art has been transferred into a new digital world with code, more familiar to be read by an AI than by humans. Transmediality, at the same time, opens a new concept of perception and changes the way a piece of art should be examined. The main goal of this paper is to determine the key points of transmediality and how they impact artistic and media practices. Through the theories of transmediality, multimodality, and transtextuality, this paper aims to answer how to analyze traditional artistic forms, such as paintings, sculptures, music, literature, analog photographs, films, and architecture that are now digitized into virtual website tours with a digital code mediator. This paper aims to show whether it is necessary to be present in person to view the original piece of art in a gallery, museum, archaeological site, cinema, or whether a good virtual replica is adequate. In the case of the latter, will our perspective of art in the future change, so that the majority of new art and national cultural heritage will only exist in virtual reality, with an endless number of originals that can be replicated with just one click.

Politics, publicity and social movements in the works of J. Habermas and P. Bourdieu
Authors: Kopaliani Violetta
Published: April 2023

Modern social movements should be considered in the context of the existing public sphere, the main theorists of which are J. Habermas and P. Bourdieu. The article analyzes various aspects of the functioning of the public sphere, examines the role of mass media in the formation of the public sphere and the orientation of public opinion. Using the example of social movements in France, the author examines how the public sphere affects the functioning of social movements. Nowadays, the media largely determines the agenda and controls public debate. Besides, the experience of each person is completely mediated by the communication means. At the same time the media is largerly influenced by politics and, as a result, the public sphere loses its functions. Nevertheless, the public of organized individuals could become an effective participant in public communication, through which it is possible to legitimize the achievement of political compromises. The author concludes that social movement's analysis should be focused not only on the political, economic and social causes of demonstrations, but also on the public sphere in which they exist. In addition, the discourse constructed by the mass media is not only imposed on society, but belongs to it. Each person contributes to its creation, and social media platforms play an important role in this. If public discourse is the result of the activity of many actors, then it is necessary to consider the possibility of interference in its construction.
