Abstract

The aim of this paper is to trace the links between Professor Wiktor Zin’s artistic work and activity and his hometown – Hrubieszów. The Professor’s message on the importance of documenting and protecting this heritage has not lost its relevance, especially today, when historical wooden buildings are being destroyed. The paper concludes that the place of birth was an important motif in Wiktor Zin’s artistic work and activity. In addition to his achievements in terms of publications and designs, the popularization of this key issue to a wider audience, which continues to this day, was of importance for the protection of the cultural heritage of Hrubieszów.

Abstract

This article concerns church monuments, which are part of the cultural heritage of Dukla. This is a town with medieval origins, located within the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, in the Krosno district. In the past it was an important centre of commerce on the Hungarian Route. Merchant traditions in Dukla are mainly associated with trade and storage of wine, which was kept in the cellars under the main market square in Dukla. Because of the rank, which the town used to have in the past, it can boast numerous monuments including objects associated with the administrative, commercial and economic functions of the town, as well as — or perhaps primarily — sacred objects. Among the latter, one has to mention firstly the parish church of St Mary Magdalene, the church and monastery complex of the Bernardine Order, and the synagogue of the Jewish community, that once used to live in Dukla. Those objects, their cultural value and issues related to their protection constitute the subject of this study.

Abstract

Cities in recent times suffer from deterioration, suburbanization and depopulation, although as the historically evolved townscapes, they bring economic, social and cultural assets. The reurbanization activates and renews the areas, which lost their functional and formal attractiveness and actuality. The public investments, which protect and capitalize the historical heritage of the cities are the main tool to implement this vector of development. This paper, on the example of analysis of selected group of public investments, which took place in a historic townscape of Szczecin, focuses on significance of the cultural and historical values and presents their catalytic effect on further city development.

Abstract

Utilizing cultural heritage in the process of urban regeneration of cities is becoming key principle that can guarantee creating sustainable spaces. Its role is accentuated even more nowadays with globalization processes exposing most parts of the world to similar influences. This research discusses the concept of urban regeneration as a comprehensive development approach and highlights the potential role of tangible, intangible and natural components of cultural heritage as leading actors in this approach. By studying the case of Bab Touma square, a historical urban square in Damascus, the research aims to set forth the importance of communicating those cultural elements as a mean to strengthening spatial identity and spatial attachment towards a space. The research adopts an analytical method and tracks the urban development phases of the square in order to define how they contributed to the change of the square’s image and identity, considering such urban spaces in the city with so many symbolic, cultural and historical values as generative points that could play a vital role in activating the process of urban regeneration of the city.

Abstract

W tekście przyglądam się specyfice turystyki kulinarnej w południowo-meksykańskim stanie Oaxaca. Rozważam ją jako przestrzeń działania pozornie przeciwstawnych procesów związanych z (re)produkowaniem lokalnej i narodowej tożsamości kulturowej oraz z intensywną globalizacją. Współzależności te badam na etnograficznym przykładzie jednego z objazdów kulinarnych, w których uczestniczyłam w 2015 roku. Stanowił on część długotrwałych, wielostanowiskowych badań terenowych w Oaxace przeprowadzonych w latach 2011–2017, uzupełnionych interpretacją źródeł zastanych. Analizuję tortilla tour w szerszym kontekście jedzenio-obrazów (foodscapes), czyli przepływu pożywienia, ludzi i wyobrażeń na temat praktyk jedzeniowych (foodways) w transnarodowym społeczeństwie konsumpcyjnym. Przyglądam się także strategiom wytwarzania dziedzictwa kulinarnego na potrzeby turystyki kulturowej, która w założeniu ma prowadzić do stymulowania rozwoju społecznego i ekonomicznego wzrostu regionu.

Abstract

Many contemporary technical elements (such as railings, light switches, power sockets, security cameras, etc.) have a very different aesthetic from the historical interiors to which they are added. Their placement in historical architectural interiors raises the question of their visibility and their power to disrupt the visual unity of an indoor space. Using logical argumentation and knowledge from the psychology of perception, a phenomenon from the discipline of architecture — the phenomenon of the perception of these elements — was analysed. Logical analysis showed that these additions do not disturb the harmony of the interior and that it does not lose its historical character. The conclusion is that their presence in the field of vision is not a radical interference with the monument.

Abstract

The study addresses the challenges facing the law of the sea. Although UNCLOS is rightly described as a constitution of the law of the sea, it does not and cannot give answers to all problems and doubts that arise in practice and that are related to global warming, protection of biodiversity, legal status of genetic resources, controversy concerning shipping, delimitation of areas or the protection of underwater cultural heritage. Hence the question arises, what the ways and means of further development of the law of the sea are. Undoubtedly, one of the possibilities is to develop implementation agreements, of which the third devoted to the protection and sustainable use of marine biodiversity outside national jurisdiction is the subject of an international conference convened by the General Assembly, whose resolutions in the area of the law of the sea play an important role. Undoubtedly, also the importance of the organization of the United Nations system, such as the IMO, FAO, UNESCO, UNEP is significant. There is also the possibility of accepting agreements addressing the issues left by UNCLOS without solution or definition. Not without significance is the soft law and the practice of states as well as the position of the organs appointed by UNCLOS.
