Abstract:

The Ukraine’s cultural heritage is of great historical importance for world culture and the study of the history of the formation of Eastern European civilizations. Archaeological research indicates that the territory of modern Ukraine has been actively developed by people for the last 5,000 years. Crimea became the center of the development of the Scythian civilization. In the 4th-5th century, the formation of the Slavic civilization, which later developed into Kievan Rus, one of the most powerful centers of Slavic culture, began. The culture of the modern Ukraine’s territories developed further under the administration of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Russian Empire. The Ukrainian people have even preserved their identity in the era of their development as part of the Soviet Union. In the topic of the Slavic War between Ukraine and Russia, it becomes extremely urgent to preserve the unique cultural heritage, which is in danger of disappearing during military operations and uncontrolled bombing of the Ukraine’s territory. To date, objects of material cultural heritage of the annexed territories of Donetsk region, Luhansk region, Kharkiv region, Kherson region, Zaporizhian region, Odesa region, and the Crimean Autonomous Republic are located in the immediate zone of potential destruction. The study subject was the tangible cultural heritage of the Republic of Ukraine. The study objects were objects of international, republican, and regional cultural heritage. The study purpose was to actualise the development of research on the Ukraine’s tangible cultural heritage, which is particularly endangered as a result of military actions by the Russian Federation. In the study course, logical, historical, documentary, comparative, and deductive methods of scientific work were used. Materials of archives and statistical data of UNESCO and the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine were used to achieve the purpose and solve the tasks set. The authors conclude that the relevance of the research of the fund of Ukraine’s tangible cultural heritage objects is obvious due to the ongoing military operations on the territory of the country and the use of modern military technologies of high-precision weapons of destruction at long distances. This poses a direct threat to any objects throughout the territory of Ukraine, regardless of their purpose and the causes of potential damage.

Abstract:

Scientific research should always be based on some kind of philosophical basis. Since ancient times, philosophy has also tried to find its answers to questions about pressing social problems, about the relationship of the universe with its laws and people. This fully applies to klironomy as well. Can cultural heritage be considered a philosophical problem? Undoubtedly, after all, figuratively speaking, the philosophical problem is knowledge about ignorance and some subjective assumption about an unknown phenomenon to be disclosed. Cultural heritage is not limited only to the presence of any historical ruins or texts of classical writers. At its core, the cultural heritage of the nation is folk traditional art. It is precisely this that should be considered as the fundamental basis of klironomy. The study object was the Western European philosophical thought about folk art. The study subject was the view of various representatives of Western European philosophy about folk art as the basis of the national cultural heritage. The study purpose was to present the evolution of Western European philosophy about folk art as the basis of the national cultural heritage. Logical, historical, comparative and deductive methods were used to achieve the set goal and solve the research tasks. The study used materials from prominent experts in philosophy of art, culture, and cultural heritage, e.g., Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Jurgen Habermas, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, Valentina Maksimovich, Alexander Buychik, Elena Borzova. The author concludes that for the philosophy of klironomy to be born and develop, it is necessary to first create a philosophy of folk art as part of the philosophy of art. This is the task facing philosophers in the age of globalisation.

Abstract:

A huge number of church decorative and applied art monuments, which lost their original appearance during the years of timelessness and persecution of religion, need competent, scientifically based conservation and restoration, which will prolong the life of these monuments and revive them for contemporaries and descendants. The article is devoted to the restoration of two gilded frames of a kiot (icon case) with mastic stucco ornament in the neoclassical style of the late 19th century. The study subject was wooden gilded frames of kiots with mastic decoration in the neoclassical style. The project purpose was to return the exposition form to the church decorative and applied art object – the kiot (icon case), which lost it as a result of a prolonged violation of storage and operation conditions. In preparation for the restoration work, a study of the theoretical works of Russian and foreign specialists in this field was conducted. In the course of the work, complex techniques of conservation, restoration and recreation, associated with local losses of stucco decoration, the presence of solid late paints of the author’s finishing of the kiot (icon case) with bronze paint, were applied. The article is intended both for professionals who are directly involved in the restoration of church cultural heritage works, fund and museum exposition curators, guides, and art historians.

Abstract:

At the present stage of development of the advanced society of the planet, a more careful attitude to the objects of the past, which have the value of cultural heritage, becomes relevant. One of the problems is the lack of uniform norms for the interpretation of objects as cultural heritage units. Consequently, in each society the fund of such objects is formed according to different principles. Some of these units, which become objects and structures of cultural heritage, fall into significant disrepair or lose harmony with the renewing environment, landscape, and buildings over time. The relevance of their existence or the profitability of their restoration is under threat. The way out of this situation was the process of revitalization, i.e., giving an object or structure a new life while preserving the part of the authentic appearance (exterior) survived to this day. The study subject was the processes of evolution and transformation of klironomical thought in revitalization of cultural heritage objects and objects. The study object was a scientific and educational complex for the revitalization of cultural heritage objects and objects. The study purpose was to identify the evolutionary regularity of the actualisation for creating a scientific and educational complex to train future specialists in revitalization. To achieve the set purpose and solve problems, historical, logical, and comparative methods were used in the study course. In the study course, the works of scientists and researchers in the history of urban planning and architecture, in revitalization, culture and cultural heritage (Klironomy) were used. The author concludes that the study revealed an evolutionary need for the emergence of a new specialty that would represent specialists in revitalization, who will have a broader professional view of the principles, processes and conditions for the revitalization of cultural heritage objects and structures. For the emergence of specialists in revitalization in state, municipal, and commercial structures, it is necessary to create a scientific and educational complex for training specialists on the basis of universities and research institutes that deal with the problems of urbanisation, urban planning, architectural and landscape design. However, the fundamentally distinctive feature of such a scientific and educational complex should be an approach from a klironomical worldview, i.e., the main mental activity of a specialist should be the maximum preservation of the cultural and historical forms of an object or structure and the desire to adapt the environment to the historical appearance of the revitalized object using the latest technologies and new art forms.

DOI: 10.47451/her2023-02-01 -------- Author's Certificate

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the conservation and restoration of the upper part of the wooden carved gilded case of the grandfather clock from the White Dining Room of the Grand Peterhof Palace, which lost its expositional appearance as a result of the distortion of its appearance by late multi-layered oil painting, as well as the reconstruction of the lost lower part of the watch case with its subsequent finishing on the basis of an analogue and documentary research. The novelty of the topic lies in the comprehension and understanding by the restorers of the uniqueness of artworks, both at the time of their creation by the authors, and in the individuality of the conditions for their utilitarian use, storage, and exhibition, which were reflected in the distortion of the exhibition view as a result of various negative impact factors. The study subject was the works of European arts and crafts of the 18th century with a wooden base and decoration in the form of combined decorative gilding. The study object was the combined gilding of the wooden case of an 18th-century grandfather clock with a musical mechanism, made in Berlin by watchmaker Konrad Erbar. The study purpose was to identify the author’s finish of the object of restoration and to determine the methods of its conservation and reconstruction in order to return the work of exposition. In the study course, historical-archival, iconographic and comparative-analytical methods were used. The article highlights the process of technology research related to the history of finishing the wooden gilded case of the 18th-century grandfather clock, created by the watchmaker Konrad Erbar; the process of removing late multi-layered layers of oil paints from the author’s finish in the form of decorative combined gilding, conservation of the ground with finishing, reconstruction of various types of gilding on gesso, applying tinting to restoration gesso and gilding are described.

Abstract:

Russian folk crafts are a form of folk art, in which Russian traditional customs, which originated many centuries ago, are clearly traced. Russian handicrafts combine the uniqueness of Russian traditional culture. Russian art painting has at least 28 geographical varieties, fabric products have at least 11 geographical varieties, metal products and bone carvings have six geographical varieties each, toys have at least 16 geographical varieties. All of them were distributed in various ways on the territory of both Russia and foreign countries. The object of the study was the processes of distribution of works of folk art in Russia. The subject of the study was the mechanisms of distribution of folk-art products in Russia. The purpose of the study was to comprehend the historical practice of the realisation of works of traditional folk-art crafts, characteristics of the role of small retailers (ofenias, peddlers, walkers), fairs, national and international exhibitions in this process. Historical, logical, and critical research methods were applied to achieve the tasks set. The research used scientific articles and monographs of famous Russian and Soviet researchers in traditional applied art of Russia. The author concludes that in the new millennium, the traditional applied art of Russia has entered into conditions when interest in its ancestral roots and folk art has already covered a considerable part of Russian society. However, certain difficulties for the traditional applied art of Russia arise due to weak and ineffective advertising, and the lack of a distribution system for artistic products. If the sale of antiques, as well as the so-called “modern art” rely on a wide network of relevant institutions and organisations, then the sale of Russian folk-art products is just beginning to acquire organised forms. It seems that over time, a network of sales and distribution of folk-art products should still develop. When creating such a network, the experience of the past may well be useful.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the restoration of two carved gilded frames to the temple icons of the 1760s in the Rococo style, during the work on which the techniques of conservation, restoration, reconstruction and recreation associated with the severe physical condition of the objects of church decorative and applied art received in the restoration were comprehensively applied. The purpose of the research and practical work was to return the expositional appearance of church objects of decorative and applied art as monuments of cultural heritage of Russia. Thanks to the well-coordinated and consistent restoration and restoration processes performed on the monuments, professional craftsmen: sculptors, carpenters, wood carvers and gilding restorers managed to turn the shapeless, heavily soiled fragments of fragments of two frames to the temple icons back into frames. After a comprehensive restoration of the two frames, it was possible to restore them to their former expositional appearance, prolong their life and preserve these monuments of church art for contemporaries and descendants, and then place them in the temple in their former historical places, i.e., to fulfill the main task of the restorers – to preserve the cultural heritage of Russia.

Abstract:

The report analyses the process of the heritage model formation as the choice of different generations of different parts of it. The field of scientific knowledge is considered as a set of systematised objective knowledge accumulated by mankind. The role of science is considered, in which rational, i.e., reasonable, true, reliable knowledge of people about the environment and themselves is concentrated, which is intersubjective, can be shared and translated by people in communicative processes. The significance of cultural heritage, including scientific, is also evaluated, which for new generation is only illustrative information that is not related to current life and requires updating, i.e., rational development in order to be used in solving vital tasks for an individual. The problem of reliable and objective interpretation of historical events and circumstances of scientists’ activities reflected in the submitted documents, letters, diaries, notes, photographs, etc. is revealed.

The report examines the cultural heritage of the Russian diaspora from the viewpoint of a complex socio-cultural system that has been formed over a long historical period and includes objects of cultural heritage that are different in their composition, kinds, types and forms. Many of them are part of rossika – a vast array of foreign materials related to Russia (historical, socio-political, scientific, religious, literary and artistic), its authorship belonged to both foreigners and representatives of the Russian diaspora, who were engaged in diversified studies of the fatherland in a foreign land. All heritage objects are united by their involvement in Russia, by connection with its past and present, by transmission of the historical experience and cultural memory of the Russian people, as well as the preservation of the national and cultural self-identification of compatriots. It allows us to consider them as a historical and cultural phenomenon, which deserves a detailed description and study.

Abstract:

The relevance of the topic Klironomy Relevance as a Complex of Scientific Knowledge of Cultural Heritage Preservation concludes in consideration of klironomy not as a separate science but as a scientific knowledge complex, connected with many sciences from social and humanitarian fields. Despite klironomy includes three fundamental scientific directions, each of them has few sciences, cumulative existing knowledge forming united humanitarian outlook directed to researching of the main tangible and intangible values. Each klironomical science is clearly identified, withal has close connection together and uses knowledge received in adjacent sciences development, e.g., history, philosophy, anthropology, archaeology, physics, chemistry, etc. The study subject is the complex of klironomical sciences. The study object is cultural heritage preservation phenomenon. The study purpose is to detect interconnection of separate klironomical directions and sciences on example of each direction’s representative. In the study, historical, comparative, and logical analysis and also analyses and synthesis methods were used. To reach the set destination and solve tasks made, the works of the native and foreign specialists in culture, art, philosophy, history, geography, archaeology, and other sciences that help form klironomical outlook. The author concludes that to analyse three separated klironomical sciences each of which is included in separated klironomical direction it was concluded that they are interconnected, complete each other, and present complex and full characteristics to an object, subject, or element of cultural heritage. Thus, it can be concluded that Klironomy as the science of cultural heritage is a set of multiple separated klironomical sciences united in three scientific directions.

DOI: 10.47451/her2022-02-03 -------- Author's Certificate

Abstract:

In this article, the author tried to consider the place and role of wood processors in the early period of the aeronautical industry, approximately 1910-1940, when most aircraft were built of wood. The professions in this field and the woodworking tools or machines used at that time are brought back to attention. Starting from the accounts of a first-rate craftsman who worked during the WWII at the Romanian Aeronautical Industry Plants in Braşov, Romania (going through the hierarchy from carpenter to foreman) and from the way the Bristol and Colonial Airplane Company in Filton, United Kingdom works (as reflected in the aerospace museum from Filton), but also from a technical regulation imposed by the United States War Department on factories that produced and repaired military aircraft, the author tries to reconstruct the form of organization and work during the pioneering period of aviation and during the first factories in the field. It can be considered that this article is a tribute to these woodworkers, but also a reconsideration of how the aeronautical industry developed and a remember of its beginnings for those of today. The author also tries to give pertinent answers, in his opinion, related to the causes of wood replacement as the main material for the construction of aircraft. Later days steel and aluminium, then fiberglass, modern composites, and, nowadays, the nanomaterials have taken its place, but it can never be forgotten or ignored. This year is the half-centenary of the death of Henri Coanda (Crystal, 1998:214), a Romanian scientist, one of the pioneers of jet aviation, since 1910. This article is intended to be the first in a series of homage articles, designed to bring the work and personality to this genius.

Abstract:

So many times, in humanity’s history, a genius was mistaken for a madman, or, at least, a too eccentric person for the accepted standards of society. Posterity, though, brought the value of a genius to light since usually genii are also visionaries. So was William Blake. Some think of him as a poet; some say he was, in fact, an artist with a hobby for writing, and some understood the power of his creative force in both fields and beyond those. In his “Prefatory Memoir” to an edition of Blake’s poems, W.M. Rosetti (1890, XI) called him “a glorious luminary.” The purpose of the present study is to analyze how his verse interlaces with his fine artworks, as well as ways in which, through his artworks, he related to already existent cultural masterpieces, offering us a new approach to them. The study also aims to follow the light he cast to reach future generations and reveal how he enlightened future creators. His cultural legacy in poetry, music, art, philosophy, and religion is overwhelming, as is his huge personality.

Abstract:

The article actualizes the problem of national identity through the preservation of the basis of the cultural heritage of peoples and ethnic groups in the era of globalization and the emergence of a large number of ‘melting pots’ that erase the edges of the uniqueness of individual peoples of the world. The author argues that for any emerging nation, the cultural heritage, even if artificial, determines to a large extent the ‘core culture’ and is one of the basic foundations of national identity. Consequently, an important role is played by the adaptation of immigrants, who bring and lobby their culture and traditions in new territories for themselves. It forces some countries seeking to preserve their history and cultural heritage to actively hinder the immigration process, even sacrificing the development of their ethnic group, which does not tend to reduce the birth rate. However, on other way, multiculturalism only contributes to the rooting of specific customs and traditions among immigrant diasporas, which finally turn into separate communities leading to a close existence. The author concludes that in conditions, when one’s cultural heritage is withering and the core culture is disintegrating, new cultural values belonging to new minorities begin to arise.

Abstract:

Research in the field of cultural heritage preservation has been actively conducted over the past 150 years. The world community has achieved great success in forming a school of objects’ restoration and conservation of past civilizations’ cultures. However, in the early 21st century, a lot of knowledge began to go beyond what is already available in the classification of the sciences of art and culture. In the last third of the 20th century, a separate science of restoration began to emerge, which is also looking for its place between culture and art. The need to form a new scientific direction on cultural heritage preservation appeared due to the formation of a huge amount of scientific knowledge, which was supported by the evolution of the philosophical thought of the world-leading thinkers, who came close to defining the Concept of Klironomical Outlook, i.e., structural views on determining the value of cultural heritage. The author justifies that the world community has objectively approached the understanding and separation of the klironomical outlook, which contributes to the formation of a new complex of sciences of the cultural heritage preservation – klironomy. The research used the scientific works of the author of the article, as well as leading experts in the field of culture and philosophers.

Keywords:
