Настоящият сборник е част от проекта "Визуалният образ". В две обособени части той включва текстове на гост - преподаватели в семинара и на докторантите през 2006 - 2007 година. Семинарната форма, както и цялостният проект на доц. Ирина Генова , са мислени едновременно като учебни и изследователски. Усилието по отношението на образователния аспект е не към тематична строгост, а към изпробване на различни насоки в широката инердисциплинарна рамка на визуалната култура. През първите три семестъра работата на семинара беше ориентирана по три най-общо зададени теми: "Реализъм и реалност", " ... |

The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library. I do this not out of disrespect for the tremendous work of contemporary Bulgarian writers and historians, but out of a desire to make an independent assessment of events and to draw my own conclusions about the relationship and sequence of events and their consequences by reading only older authors. I hope the book will find a ... |

Като част от античния свят Тракия не е останала чужда на едно от основните религиозни движения - орфизма. Монографията е опит да се разкрият влиянията на гръцкия орфизъм върху царската идеология и изкуството на древните траки. Основните пресечни точки между двете системи се търсят предимно в есхатологията, представата за отвъдното. Главните теми на орфизма са сравнявани с изобразителните текстове от тракийските паметници. Като орфически символи са разгледани тракийските нагръдници, маски, като и изображенията на врати, тронове, яйце, венец, кратер, кантарос, рог и т.н. Най-важната тема в орфическата доктрина е пътуването ... |
