Abstract:

Using a typology of urban symbolism, the identity of Belgrade is reconstructed on the basis of accounts by a sample of city residents, foreigners and locals, who work in international companies and organizations. The component of behavioral symbolism is found to prevail, referring to the place?s atmosphere, mood, spirit, or energy. Next comes material symbolism, particularly in relation to Belgrade?s location at the confluence of two rivers, and the Kalemegdan complex overlooking it. All other types of symbolism are much less prominent. Belgrade is described as having a comparatively low globa

Abstract:

Taoist temples are considered a nation-specific religious and exceptional cultural landmark regionally. The design principle of the lower, middle, and upper sections of the physical building profoundly symbolised royal identity (RI). Scholars discovered that despite Chinese lineage positively recognising the importance of this symbolism, they were clueless about it, notably the configuration of the upper section. The objective of this paper is primarily to identify the design symbolism of the Taoist temple and assess the survivability of the RI for the upper section: 1) roof form; 2) ornamenta

Abstract:

The article examines the influence of symbolist aesthetics on the poetry of Hristo Smirnenski. The author combines the high stylistics of symbolism with the social theme – this is how the exquisite expression decorates the stories of social outsiders (urban tyrants, soldiers, prostitutes, street musicians). The poet calls them “children of the city” and portrays them in contrast with another type of social character – Homo Faber, the people of production (workers, blacksmiths, stonemasons, charcoal burners). These are the two types of city characters. The first one is called a swashbuckling he

Abstract:

The article provides a discussion of symbolic aspects and uses of metaphors in Massimiliano Fuksas architecture. Despite of the fact that his architectural projects are very different they are sculptural and abstract leading to ambiguous reflections. The author argues that each architectural project of Massimiliano Fuksas can be related to certain metaphors and level of symbolisation. His metaphors are often metaphors for our feelings, they are emotionally understandable and yet not so easy to name. The article is an attempt to expose and analyze them.

Abstract:

The global Right to the City network challenges exclusionary effects of neoliberal urbanization by claiming citizens' rights for access to urban space and to the benefits of urban culture. Artists belong to one of the most vulnerable groups in the context of gentrification and urban exclusion. At the same time, their creative and expressive capacities put them in a privileged position to voice protest. Oscillating between counterhegemony, accommodation, and strategic collusion, a group of artist-activists from the city of Hamburg in Germany have been employing the means of empowered symbolism,

Abstract:

In literary discourse, the city is conceived not only as a topographical space but also as a semiotic system that represents the cultural, historical and mental codes of a given era. In the Kazakh literary tradition, the urban chronotope is often linked to a crisis of identity and the loss of cultural continuity, standing in contrast to archaic models of nomadic culture. A comparative analysis with global literary traditions makes it possible to identify specific modes of representing urban reality, shaped by chronotopes, mythopoetic motifs and symbolic codes.

Despite sparse economic characterizations, investments in them often represented a horizontal grandeur rivalling palatial and monumental construction.

Abstract:

Many city dwellers hold very strong personal ties to urban trees and forests, with some attachments approaching a spiritual involvement. Ties between people and trees are associated with traditions, symbolism, and the need to "get involved" at the local level to sustain or enhance the environment for present and future generations. Urban forestry programs that aim to improve quality of life in urban areas will be most effective if urbanites learn about the basic biological needs of trees. At the same time managers and planners must learn about the many psychological, social, and cultural needs

The history of this tower summarizes in a disturbing way the surprising semiotic continuity between totalitarian, modern societies and postmodern democratic societies.

   The main focus of this article is on identifying the features of regional and urban identity formation and actualization. An attempt was made to determine the nature of interaction and juxtaposition of these types of territorial identity in the conditions of modern Ukrainian society. The main mechanisms of formation of regional identity are distinguished: use of the mechanism of constructing crisis or opposition regional identity, ideological work as a mechanism of formation of regional identity, images, symbolism, mythologists, ideologists and communication slogans as mec

Abstract:

The symbolism of the Inner city comprises varied components, such as the natural component (e.g. river, coast, parks), the cultural-historical (e.g. monuments, wells, buildings, shops, bastions), the socio-political (e.g. the role of the city’s magistrate, venues where church-related events take place, as well as school plays), and the private component (e.g. participating in social games, going to the theater, frequenting local watering holes). In order to study the Inner city, one must understand the relationship between its space, historical, and social context. The City seems to have the c

Abstract:

Shifts between the Preclassic and Classic periods involved transitions in many aspects of Maya society, including the role of ritual activities as sources of power for and markers of political authority. During the Classic period, royal individuals were often buried in crypts or tombs marked with water symbolism that symbolically placed the individual within the watery underworld. Layers of lithics overlying these important interments were part of this symbolism. Water symbolism of this nature has deep roots in Maya ideology, beginning as early as the Middle Preclassic, prior to institutionali

Abstract:

Proper research into invisible sleeper-spaces and their mapping requires an understanding of the mutual connections between urban space and our collective urban experience. Lefebvre views spatial discourse as a triad linking mental, physical and social standpoints of space that may represent power. Space, according to Foucault, underlies the enforcement of power and social life, while space-shaping should be construed as a mechanism of power through which influence is exerted on society. This necessitates the use of an interdisciplinary approach to explore spatial humanities. Hence, the author

This article is dedicated to the currently relevant direction in the humanities &ndash; the study of city monuments as the tools of commemoration that contribute to the formation of historical and cultural memory in the society. The author classifies the monuments and art objects of Yakutsk by designation, as well as presents the survey results of the citizens on perception of the city&rsquo;s symbolic space of the city. An overview and analysis of the monuments of Yakutsk demonstrated that they reflect history of the city and the republic, as well as contribute to the formation of sus

Abstract:

This article deals with Stevan Mokranjac?s fifthteen garlands (rukoveti), which are commonly regarded as the national project in Serbian art music that was accomplished through the producing of the tradition of the Serbian folk song. The garlands are examined by employing the concept of ethno-symbolism, theoretically associated with Anthony Smith. The elements of ethno-symbolism, and especially those aspects of this theory through which the articulation of a national identity activates connections with pre-modern myths, recollections and collective symbols, have proven useful in contextualizat

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of self-development and mental awakening in A. N. Whitehead's ‘Symbolism’ and to explore its educational implications. Whitehead calls symbolism including direct recognition(ie, causal efficacy, presentational immediacy) and symbolic reference. According to him, symbolism through direct recognition is infallible, but errors arise from symbolic reference that connects two types of perceptual experiences to symbols and meanings. He argues that self-development and mental awakening occur in symbolic reference and criticizes two errors in e
