Annotation: University textbooks continuously accompany the reader with current examples of the dimensions of artistic communication and interpretation. While the previous volume, Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation, represented a modeling entry, or rather an overview of artistic communication and interpretation, its subsequent continuation, Into the Miracles /interpretative probes on the subject Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation/, expands on other reception and communication strategies. For students of the cultural studies study program, it is an exercise teaching material, complementary to the in-depth study of the subject Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation in connection with some focal models of selected representatives of the so-called Nitra school. This time, the dominant focus of attention was completely narrowed to the international multi-genre site-specific festival in the countryside, Into the Miracles (July 1 - July 4, 2023), which was unique and special in several aspects. The concept of this event was a multi-day pilgrimage for miracles along an 80 km long walking route through the regions of south-central Slovakia. The festival thus provided an extraordinary experience of the journey/procession (of artistic communication as a journey). The event was ideal for cultural and aesthetic-scientific studies as an example of researching the laws of reception, artistic communication and interpretation, so to speak, in an outdoor environment with the dominant backdrop of the landscape and its picturesqueness, natural environment and overall rural color. At the same time, it offered an extremely diverse variability of the reception semiosis of artistic miracles by domestic and foreign creators, which were distributed across the country within the set hiking route. The multi-day pilgrimage for the sacred dimension of beauty also became an opportunity to perceive the narrative level of the entire festival, providing in its dramaturgy the uniqueness of scenes/phenomena of miracles and the need for its search or revitalization.

Annotation: University teaching texts provide students of the study program Culturology with a practically modeling entry, or rather an overview of artistic communication and interpretation, which will guide them through several examples of reception and communication practice. The recapitulation sequence documents the story of a specific 2022/2023 semester cycle, partly of a monothematic nature. They are united by the concretization of one model of artistic communication and interpretation (chapter no. 1 Teaching texts/instruction sheets on reception aesthetics). The starting point is reception aesthetics honed and conceptually profiled at the Institute of Literary and Artistic Communication of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Bratislava in Nitra, from which the texts of individual chapters are subsequently (referentially) created, embedded in the university pedagogical practice of the study of Culturology, and applied as a motif (chapter no. 2 Journeys of one semester cycle).

Other title information: 2 dekady oneho umenia v Nitre

Annotation: In Slovakia, especially outside the capital, unconventional art has never been given the space it deserves. It was and is no different in Nitra, where – although it is home to two universities – progressive, experimental and alternative artistic initiatives still do not bloom like roses... They find themselves in an alienated position, often on the fringes of interest, somehow “they cannot come up with a name” – in which case they are called “that” in the local dialect. Perhaps that is why we have chosen the adjective of not another, but “that” art in the title of this publication, which in many ways deviates from the norm, is significantly different, provocative, and at the very least thought-provoking. The monographic publication Hermovo Ucho & PostmutArt – 2 two decades of that art in Nitra aims to map retrospectively, in a chronological manner, the entire two decades of the existence of the international cycles, or rather festivals HERMOVO UCHO V NITRE and POSTMUTART, focused from the end of the 20th century to the present precisely on these artistic initiatives, often moving in a taxonomically indefinable interspace – on the border of intermedial overlaps and innovative fusions of new music, visual art, video art, performance, sound art, happening –, testing their limits and crossing the boundaries of discursive and non-discursive symbolism in the period of late postmodernism.

Annotation: This common-sense evidence that music and the stage are consubstantial in the Lyric Theatre, that they necessarily operate in symbiosis, this evidence also says, in a double sense, that their union is in no way obvious in itself, that it is a problem for both. The theoretical sketches that make up this essay bear witness to the singular link between event and truth, between music and representational stage, that Wieland Wagner was able to establish for the first time in the history of the Lyric Theatre.

Annotation: This book, by one of the most challenging contemporary thinkers, begins with an essay that introduces the principal concern sustained in the four succeeding ones: Why are there several arts and not just one? This question focuses on the point of maximal tension between the philosophical tradition and contemporary thinking about the arts: the relation between the plurality of the human senses--to which the plurality of the arts has most frequently been referred--and sense or meaning in general. Throughout the five essays, Nancy's argument hinges on the culminating formulation of this relation in Hegel's Aesthetics and The Phenomenology of Spirit--art as the sensible presentation of the Idea. Demonstrating once again his renowned ability as a reader of Hegel, Nancy scrupulously and generously restores Hegel's historical argument concerning art as a thing of the past, as that which is negated by the dialectic of Spirit in the passage from aesthetic religion to revealed religion to philosophy.

Notes: Originally published in three volumes as Semiotik des Theaters (1983)

Annotation: The theater is a particularly privileged semiotic object. Unlike literature or painting which operate within a single sign-system, theater combines a variety of sign-systems - language and gesture, costume and decoration, music and lighting - each of which generates meaning according to different principles. This complexity creates special challenges for understanding theater as a meaning-generating system. Erika Fischer-Lichte's book examines each of the sign-systems of the theater and investigates the ways they relate to one another. The result is a brilliant articulation of a semiotics of theater
