Birds around the Pacific are identified with human activities, and often with people themselves. This article explores the pervasive use of birds and avian imagery by Pacific islanders in legend, song, canoe construction, and navigation. It considers a preoccupation with birds in diverse spheres of island life, but with special attention to maritime activities.

Ever since the discovery of the Predynastic in 1895 by William Matthew Flinders Petrie and James Edward Quibell, great numbers of copper objects have been discovered (fig. 1). However, the study of these objects has been confined to either typological or metallurgical analyses, with seemingly no credence paid to their symbolic aspects (Anfinset 2010; Hassan et al. 2015; Kmošek et al. 2018; Rademakers et al. 2018; Rehren – Pernicka 2014). By combining archaeological and textual data, it is possible today to partly reconstruct the symbolism behind the use of copper objects in funerary context. The aim of this research is to highlight a phenomenon which took place during the transition between the First and the Second Dynasty: the change of the status of copper artefacts found in the tombs. It is possible to see that the size of the objects, and their functionality, changed greatly during this time. Diverse explanations for the phenomenon will be reviewed and a new explanation will be given thanks to a more detailed study of the artefacts and the general context of that time.

Der Verfasser des vorliegenden Artikels stellt seine eigene Interpretationsvoraussetzung der ersten sechs Kapitels der Abrahams Apokalypse dar. In dieser Abrahams Apokalypse 1-6 kann man dieser Interpretation nach zwei Bedeutungsschichten unterscheiden. Erste haggadische Lage stellt eine Kritik der Abgötterei dar. Zweite symbolische Lage sieht in den Idolenbenennungen und in ihrer Geschichte eine Kritik der Imperien, die Israel unterdrückt haben, Und so Marumat symbolisiert Rom, fünf aus Stein ausgeschnitzten Idole stellen fünf römische Kaiser: Galba, Otton, Vitelius, Vespasian und Titus dar. Der Idol Nachin würde Nerodarstellen, der Idol Barysat würde von Persien besiegte Babylonien versinnbildlichen. Solche Idole wie Suzuch und Ioavan sollte man entsprechend auf Cyrus und Alexander den Grossen beziehen. Es würde sich daher um wier Imperien: Rom Babylonien, Persien und Griechenland handeln. Indem der Verfasser der Abrahams Apokalypse eine Kritik dieser Idole durchführt, möchte er darauf hinweisen, dass keine dieser Mächte ein wirklicher Israels Erreter war, und die mit ihnen geschlossenen Bündnisse nur Schaden brachten.

At the beginning of the 11th Century, in the variegated universe that characterized the monastic religious orders with hermit tendencies, or monastic brotherhoods, and religious organizations, the choice of the habit began to take on profound implications, because it allowed people to recognize between the different communities of the sole Ecclesial body. Because of its clearly and doctrinal purpose, the problem of the garb could not be left to chance; in fact, it ended up giving rise to acrimonious quarrels between the monks, such as the chromatic controversy (black vs. white) which opposed, during the 12th Century, two French abbeys, Cluny and Citeaux, on topics not only theological, but also aesthetic. Soon it became essential to establish clear rules and policy on the choice of colour and appropriate tone to the religious lifestyle. Obviously, countless were considerations about the cut, the length of the habit, the style of the hood and, of course, the colours.

An intentional and significant palette : colour symbolism in some of Emile Zola’s novels In naturalist novels, aiming to depict the reality as faithfully as possible, colours are particularly important, and need to be carefully selected. An attentive reader of Zola’s Rougon-Macquart series might notice a very special use of colours that are often charged with an important symbolic value: being not only an ornament or a detail, they frequently influence and/or express the characters’ features. The proposed classification shows some most relevant examples of Zola’s conception of colours in selected parts of the series.

Symbole w historii a historia symboli. O antropologicznej interpretacji faktów historycznych

This article is devoted to the anthropological and historical understanding of the symbol. the author considers that both anthropology and history find themselves in a similar situation as regards research. for the anthropologist ‘strangeness’ and ‘difference’ in their cultural senses, are dependent on their non-European exoticism. for the historian and they are dependent on their chronological distance and bygone cultural type. the interpretation of symbols is carried out by two methods. the first one of which is based on the universal character of thinking symbolically. the second treats the symbol as a cultural and historical artefact. on the basis of the theory of symbols in philosophy (Hegel, E. Husserl, L. Blaustein) and in anthropology (C. Geertz, V. turner, D. Sperber) the author affirms that symbols in non-European or historic cultures had a pragmatic meaning. they were not signs of pure thought, but aspects of everyday activity. they reveal themselves to be examples of tribal culture, transmitted to folklore and archaic Greek texts. A discussion on symbolism as historical fact is expounded in this article, which is based on the findings of R. Darnton. His book “The Great Cat Massacre and other Episodes in French Cultural History” is an example of structural analysis. its interpretation is a reconstruction of cultural classification carried out by craftsmen-printers in Paris in the 18th century. Darnton demonstrates as cultural texts: the paroemiology, street theatre, carnival, local ritual, and label the fact of the mass killing of cats characterizes. Not all the symbolic elements that lay behind their behaviour were understood by the actors who participated in these events. the author of the article gives examples of the evolution of semiotic symbols. signs changed their function: from their application for magical purposes, to symbolizing important ideas. the historian, and equally the anthropologist, must recognize and distinguish between these specificities. to the participants in these events in bygone times their cultural significance lay above all in their signs. to historians and anthropologist they are symbols, as the essence of their proposed exegesis and interpretation proves.

Strawberries were the fruit that the Modernists and Modernism were very fond of. It thus should not be a surprise that strawberries also feature in Modernist prose texts of Katherine Mansfield. Although they make their appearance only in a couple of stories, and then merely for a brief moment, they should not by any means be treated as mere tiny blots belonging to the background. For when we take a closer look at them it turns out that, as is usually the case with Mansfield’s short stories, there is more to it than meets the eye. Seemingly unimportant, often unnoticed and therefore frequently underestimated, this small, sweet, red and fragrant fruit makes a significant statement in every text it is mentioned.

There has been given the modern interpretation of literary dialogue between the Ukrainian writer Mykola Kulish and the Russian writer Myhailo Bulhakov which was started almost a century ago but it wasn’t grasped in full even until today. However this interpretation has been very vital and the processes occurring in the aspect of social consciousness in modern Ukraine vividly confi rm it. Having analyzed the peculiarities of composition, plot and characters in ”Pathetic Sonata” by M. Kulish and «The White Guard” («Days of the Turbiny’s”) by M. Bulhakov, we come to the conclusion that this peculiar literary duel had for an object to displace the guidelines mainly in ideological aspect. It was also noted by the contemporaries: there appeared a great dispute in artistic circles, there is even a shorthand record of the meeting of Stalin and the Ukrainian writers which testifi es it. But the disputes concerning the subjects raised in these writings are still raging in our days. So, obviously, it is too early to announce the winners of the literary duel.

The study deals with political propaganda considered as a space for the performance of rituals and ritual behaviours. Such an approach allows for investigating that phenomenon from another perspective than so far proposed by classical propaganda research schools. Special categories of the analysis include the symbolic sphere and conventionality, while emphasis is placed on researching propaganda within politically significant structures. The article provides information on how the phenomenon has been analysed with the use of anthropological research categories.

Robert Darnton’s book is one of the most faithful applications of the semiotic method to a study of unfamiliar symbolic forms that use Geertz’s thick description. in particular, it was Geertz’s interpretation of Balinese cockfights that became a model for Darnton’s interpretation of the Great Cat Massacre on a certain street in Paris in the 1730s. the criticism levelled at this famous book by J.W. Fernandez (an anthropologist), D. LaCapra (ideas historian) and R. Chartier (historian) is a reprise of the earlier criticism of Geertz by cultural anthropologists. it is also, mainly an “external criticism”, which is to mean it is levelled from the post-structuralist, or even post-humanistic positions. attempts to correct Darnton by redirecting the focus from the “native’s point of view” (of the participants in “the great cat massacre”) to the “cat’s point of view” as LaCapra would have wanted (which amounts to freshening the historical anthropology – according to Domańska – by tying it with another “turn” i.e. post-humanism) may lead to (and this is well worth investigating) “the massacre of historical anthropology”.

The Book of Leviticus appears as a compilation of fragmentary cultic and ethical prescriptions, coming from different periods of religious history of Israel. The synchronic analysis, started by Mary Douglas, proved that the editor of final version of Leviticus was a great artist, with a religious goal. Leviticus is a book that presents multiple layers of meaning. In this article the Book of Leviticus was considered from the Religionswissenschaft point of view. The text was divided on a major blocks according to its theme, and then asked what message was delivered through each one of them; and subsequently, what was message of the whole Book. Careful analysis of vocabulary, as well as the time and place of action, allow to suggest a new structure - the four final chapters might serve as the endings for three blocks of text. The theme leads the reader from the temple to the community; from the present to the future.

The present contribution deals with the problematic colour symbolism in the controversial novel Venus im Pelz written by Leopold Sacher-Masoch. With regard to the thesis stated by Hans J. Wulff, that colours do not possess their own semantic meaning but are an integral element of one superordinate entirety and therefore have to be analysed in each respective context, the attempt is made to show the coherency between the semantic of colours and the masochistic ritual as constructed by Sacher-Masoch. The intensifying depiction of colours emphasizes the nature of masochistic fantasies in the analysed text in splendid respect. However, it is accentuated that the author deals rather conventionally with colour symbolism in his literary project. An answer might be found in the character of masochism itself as it integrates violence in a system of ritualized acts where innovative procedure is not given preference.

Although song and dance are independent art, they are being employed adequately in today’s theatrical production as dramatic elements. This paper examines the relevance of songs as an aspect of oral aesthetics in the plays of Derek Walcott and Bate Besong. It also argues that like any other aspect of drama, Walcott and Besong succeeded in using songs and dances to play the triple roles of informing, educating and entertaining. Furthermore, this paper stresses the importance of symbolism in revealing the playwrights aesthetic ideologies. The playwright’s attribute symbolic meaning or significance to setting, characters, objects, events, actions and relationships with the principal intention of commenting on the deteriorating nature of their various postcolonial societies. Framed on the basis of the New Historicist assumption that, every text of literature reflects both within and without itself. The analyses in this paper, reveal that, in their attempts to conceive an independent national cultural identity, the playwrights use songs and symbolic vocabularies that are recognisably indigenous or at least different from European representations, but yet intelligible within a global grammar of post-war politics. The various songs and symbols that permeate the works under study, play multiple roles and carry various meanings if read within the context of the postcolonial societies they all set out to represent. The playwrights succeeded in crystallising songs and symbols into veritable instruments of conscientisation and revolution.

Sixtine by Remy de Gourmont marks the refusal of nature and tangible reality and the choice of imagination to the detriment of reality. Its principal character, Hubert d’Entragues is a faithful disciple of idealism of symbolism. Since he chooses to think rather that to live, it is not surprising that the plot of the novel is almost nonexistent. The plot develops around of d’Entragues’ desire to win the beautiful Sixtine, which is in itself condemned to failure since he is doing nothing to reach her and refuses to take any effort. The woman, who could have served as the principal impulse of the plot, is practically inexistent in this story (though it is a passionate story) and is replaced by the ideal woman: the story is doubled by the second story, e.g. a novel written by the character which is a transposition of his “cerebral” relation with Sixtine and a realisation of presence of the latter. Art replaces life and life does not exist in itself. It is shaped by thought. But the chosen absence of any facts of life is fruitful: it gives birth to a novel. It is a story of a prisoner in love with the statute of the Virgin which he sees while taking a daily walk. In this novel the carnal accomplishment is not necessary in order for a true and sincere passion to develop and the satisfaction of desire may destroy the dream and the ideal.

The symbolism of town halls in medieval cities. Selected examples(Summary) Town halls have always been the best example of the aspirations and possibilities of urban communities. The location of the town hall building was related to its central role in the political system and functioning of the town. This was the case, irrespective of the period in which the building was raised, or its size. Its functional and ideological centrality in the urban space was achieved in several ways. The first, dating back to the ancient tradition, is associated with the classical structure of a city based on a rectilinear grid of streets – the town hall takes the place of the Roman praetorium, which was in the castrum at the intersection of the cardo and decumanus. This was not only the case in cities in the Apennine Peninsula, but also in colonized areas – in the towns established on the former sites of Roman camps. If the town hall building was part of a densely developed area, its form always distinguished it from the other buildings, and if it was a free-standing building, it competed with the church buildings with regards to its shape and location. Another way of emphasizing the central role of the main municipal building in the urban layout was to make it the main vertical accent, by accentuating its height with regard to the church towers – as in the solutions associated with the Flemish idea of the beffroi. The third important aspect regarding the spatial composition of medieval cities was the location of the town hall building in close relation to the “dynamic” diagonal axis of the town’s layout linking the town hall with the cathedral or parish church. This kind of layout can be found both on the Apennine Peninsula and in Silesia. The signifi cant analogies, which are visible at first glance, between the functioning of various town hall buildings in various geographical regions far away from one another, confirm the appropriateness of undertaking further research on the various groups of buildings in urban layouts both in the context of contemporary ideas and archetypes that had an influence throughout the whole of Europe, which in this context appears to be a culturally homogenous area.

This article presents the history of this symbol in the Podhale Rifles regiments and other formations of the armed forces in the Second Polish Republic, which also used the symbolism of the swastika. The author shows the origins of that symbol and the way it was introduced in the uniforms of the Podhale Rofles. He also attempts to estimate whether that symbol actually ocurred in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the Podhale folk culture, and thereby, whether the swastika could be identified at that time with the so-called „unexpected cross”. Besides the study also shows how the look and ideological significance of that symbol developed in the army in that period. At the same time the author indicates those symbolic elements in which in the Podhale Rifles regiments and other formations of the 21st and 22nd Mountain Infantry Divisions, as well in the artillery, the swastika appeared. Usually it was on the standards and other vexilla, on commememorative badges and official and occasional forms, regiment tableware etc.
