Draconic heraldry is a term applied to coats of arms and other heraldic insignia of the ‘Brotherhood of the Croatian Dragon’ Society and the draconic coats of arms as personal symbols of the ...Society’s members. The Society, established in 1905, is a cultural association that strives to preserve and renew Croatian cultural heritage and promote the identity and achievements of Croatian culture.From its establishment until today, the Society has granted its members personal coats of arms in accordance with prescribed heraldic standards and under the professional supervision of the Draconic Heraldic Office, thus being one of three realms of living heraldry in Croatia (the other two being municipal and ecclesiastic heraldry). The paper positions draconic heraldry within the Croatian heraldic heritage, and presents its development and the activities of heraldists and other participants in its shaping. Prior to the ban of the Society in 1946 by the Communist regime, the heraldic office was implemented through the work of Emilij Laszowski, a co-founder of the Society and renowned heraldic expert, who hired a distinguished artist, Vjera Bojničić Zamola, to produce coats of arms under his guidance. Together they produced over 200 draconic coats of arms (and recreated some hundred historical Croatian noble coats of arms), today mostly preserved in the Native Collection in Ozalj. The ‘Genealogy’ of the Society, painted by Stjepan Kukec for its 35th anniversary, includes over a thousand of its members, among which more than 800 are presented with individual draconic coats of arms. After the renewal of the Society in 1990, the office was first led by Milovan Petković, who re-established the tradition and established cooperation with heraldic experts and artists. During his leadership and mostly with the help of Maja Bejdić as expert adviser and Mladen Stojić as graphical artist, some fifty draconic coats of arms were designed for Society members. The office has been held by Zvonimir Gerber since 2006. He continued the practice and cooperation, introducing armorial patents to go with designed coats of arms. Around 20 draconic members were granted coats of arms in this period. He photographically documented the entire heraldic collection of draconic and other coats of arms in the Ozalj Native Collection. In 2017, he was succeeded by Mislav Grgić, who introduced a ceremonial grant of armorial patents at the most solemn occasions of the Society and reorganised heraldic regulations with the help of his future successor. Blazons (formalised heraldic descriptions of coats of arms) were included in the 13 new armorial patents granted, as the essential element of an armorial grant. Finally, the office was entrusted to Željko Heimer, who started gathering materials on draconic coats of arms, collected and systematized material collected by Gerber and the material produced after 1990, and initiated the creation of Draconic Armorial Books in two volumes: Vol. I. Prior to the 1946 Ban, with currently 246 coats of arms, and Vol. II. After the 1990 Renewal, with 82; both are being actively updated as research progresses.Furthermore, the paper classifies types of draconic coats of arms according to the outer characteristics of their design, forming chronologically successive, clearly divided types: four prior to ban of the Society in 1946, and four after its renewal in 1990. As the first published research concerning this matter, it presents theses and formulates questions, which can be answered only through further research.
The book brings several essays on objects, atmospheres, moods, flavors and scents that marked the everyday life in the socialist Yugoslavia. The authors of individual chapters in Made in YU use these ...objects, atmospheres, moods, flavors and scents as lenses through which they observe practices and processes of significant restructurings and reframings of everyday, cultural, political and affective worlds in the post-Yugoslav societies.
Namen prispevka je proučiti in jasno opredeliti pojme javno dobro, skupni viri in skupno. V članku smo na podlagi prostorsko-časovne analize, intervjujev in delavnic med splošno in strokovno ...javnostjo osvetlili dojemanje javnega dobra in skupnega v Sloveniji kot tranzicijski družbi. Analiza je pokazala, da na razumevanje teh pojmov med splošno javnostjo še vedno močno vpliva poudarjanje socialne pravičnosti, enakosti in dostopnosti dobrin za vse iz obdobja socializma, kar je lahko v nasprotju s pravico do zasebne lastnine. Neustrezno upravljanje dobrin, ki so dojete kot javno dobro, v resnici pa so skupni viri, lahko vodi v konflikte in razvrednotenje skupnih virov, s čimer bomo izgubili prednosti, ki nam omogočajo kakovostnejše življenje. Ker smo od omejenih naravnih virov življenjsko odvisni, je treba o njih nujno ozavestiti splošno in strokovno javnost, izpostaviti ranljivost teh virov in pojasniti, dane morejo biti dostopni vsem v neomejenih količinah. V mednarodnem okolju želimo s predstavljenim slovenskim primerom prispevati k boljšemu razumevanju človeškega vedenja in pričakovanj do javnega dobra in skupnih virov v postsocialističnih tranzicijskih družbah.
Potrošniška družba, družba tveganja in družba z nanja so samo nekatere oznake, ki poskušajo opisati socialne, ekonomske, kulturne in politične spremembe, ki so se z godile v drugi polovici dvajsetega ...stoletja. Za čas globalizacije je na ravni edukacijskih politik z načilno, da tudi številčne in ekonomsko bolj razvite nacije nimajo pravih možnosti v globaliziranem svetu, če ne bodo vlagale v edukacijo, katere kakovost bi presojali skladno z mednarodnimi standardi. Od tod izhodišča za razpravo o pomembnosti permanentnega izobraževanja, kamor spada tudi razprava o izobraževanju odraslih.
V prvem delu članka nas zanima vprašanje opredeljevanja zakonitosti človekove narave in njenih zakonov delovanja s posebnim poudarkom na sposobnostih in zmogljivostih odraslih za učenje. Ker pa se sposobnosti za učenje ohranjajo in oblikujejo bolj v tistih družbah, ki znajo dovolj sistematično pristopati k problemu vseživljenjskega učenja, se po drugi strani pokaže, da o vsem tem odločajo tudi predstave, ki jih goji neka družba o odrasli in starejši generaciji. Zato v drugem delu članka opišemo tudi, katere družbeno-ekonomske razmere ter institucionalne strukture pogojujejo možnost uresničevanja permanentnega izobraževanja kot naloge prihodnje družbe.
How far can religion play a part in the public sphere, or should it be only a private matter? Roger Trigg examines this question in the context of today's pluralist societies. Should we celebrate ...diversity, or are matters of truth at stake? In particular, can we maintain our love of freedom, while cutting it off from religious roots?.
V članku predstavljamo pomen sodobne tehnologije in njen vpliv na družbeni razvoj ter uporabo v izobraževanju. Naša temeljna predpostavka je, da se bosta pogostost in kakovost uporabe izobraževalne ...tehnologije (najširše definirane) povečali s poznavanjem dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na njeno uporabo. V besedilu tako opredelimo koncept informacijske družbe in prikažemo različna mnenja o vplivu sodobne informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije na družbo. E-izobraževanje kot razširjeno obliko izobraževanja umestimo v kontekst informacijske družbe in predstavimo teorije sprejemanja tehnologije, na katerih temelji »enotna teorija sprejemanja in uporabe tehnologije« (UTAUT). Ugotavljamo, da imajo pri sprejemanju e-izobraževanja in drugih izobraževalnih tehnologijah glavno vlogo ožje socialno okolje, psihološki dejavniki in tehnične značilnosti orodja, zato morajo biti ukrepi za spodbujanje večje uporabe usmerjeni na eno od teh področij. Eden od sklepov pričujoče analize je razširitev modelov sprejemanja tehnologije s pedagoškimi vidiki e-izobraževanja, ki so pri klasičnih modelih povsem zanemarjeni.
Članek prinaša doslej še neobjavljeno Kroniko ljubljanske Filharmonične družbe v času od leta 1900 do 1907, ki jo je pisal takratni predsednik družbe Josef Hauffen in osvetljuje delo FD, njene odnose ...z Glasbeno matico, Kranjsko hranilnico in Pevskim društvom nemškega telovadnega društva. V njej se zrcalijo tudi včasih ostra nacionalna nasprotja tega časa med Slovenci in Nemci.
