This paper aims out to investigate monumentality in Istanbul,Sarajevo and Lisbon as three differenet cities as the case studies with the most critical buildings mentioned by architecture and urban scholars. The research shows that the more geographic location moves toward the west the intensity of modern-Traditional polarity decreases beyond the typical architectural history process which is similar in all areas . The monuments in Istanbul ended in abstract integration of both poles as the effort for defining a real idenitity was hopeless.Sarajevo experienced a dominant modern architecture and urban planning in soclialism and Finally there was a peaceful dialogue as greenspaces evolved in harmony with context and continous spatial tradition Length: 23 pages Creation-Date: 2018-06 Publication-Status: Published in Proceedings of the Proceedings of the 3rd Arts & Humanities Conference, Barcelona, Jun 2018, pages 1-23 File-URL: https://iises.net/proceedings/3rd-arts-humanities-conference-barcelona/table-of-content/detail?cid=63&iid=001&rid=9279 File-Function: First version, 2018 Number: 6309279 Classification-JEL: Keywords: Monumentality, Modernism, Tradition, Architecture, Urban Planning, Istanbul, Lisbon, Sarajevo Handle: RePEc:sek:iahpro:6309279 Template-Type: ReDIF-Paper 1.0 Author-Name: Alina Romanovska Author-Name-First: Alina Author-Name-Last: Romanovska Author-Email: alina.romanovska@du.lv Author-Workplace-Name: Daugavpils University Title: 20th Century History of Latvia in Literary Narratives Abstract: The research focuses on contemporary Latvian fiction that reflects the history of the 20th century. Since 2015, the number of such works in Latvia has grown rapidly. To a great extent, it has been facilitated by the today?s historical political situation, namely, the fact that the year 2018 is the centenary of the Republic of Latvia, which becomes an incentive to activate the attempts of restoration and understanding of the state?s history. The analysis of fictional narratives is carried out by using the ideas of New Historicism and Literary anthropology, as well as the theories of collective memory.Writing history in literary form not only constructs a shared space of memories, but also provides an opportunity to reflect, understand and create a national identity. By means of fictional narratives, the past becomes a factor in creating solidarity. Writers develop peculiar testimonies for a certain period of time ? they focus on both the relatively recent past, which can be described by their own and their contemporaries? memories, as well as earlier events, which are described by using archival documents, oral testimonies, diaries and other materials. When representing the past, the narration strategies characteristic to fiction are combined with the reliance on historical documents, thus creating contemporary literary genres.

Much owing to this a few centuries rolled on in understanding the world around us than within. One might think that it was mainly from the period of Socrates that we clearly observe philosophers openly toiling to take on the enigmatic human nature as a focal point and enduring to solve the problems which were continually troubling all. Some of the philosophers preferred to rely mostly on religions in vogue to answer back common man's authentic questions. Some of them went to the extent of declaring or labeling persons who doubted the very existence of God and further his justifying nature, as 'Atheists'. However many had unflinchingly stood by the scientific temper which eventually was not tolerable to the enthusiastic adherents of Theology. Using freely uncommon and rich vocabulary or subject jargons, sticking to the religious sentiments was one of the main weapons. Stoicism although belonging to approximately Third century BC had a very clear vision about the human existence and its predicament. Therefore it could dare to deviate from the overtly practiced idealism and seek a path that would be quite accommodative and true to the then existing reality. Therefore one finds a clear pragmatic approach in Stoic outlook which is usable for all. It could stand firmly by embracing the unalloyed reality to guide the humanity that had been enmeshed by depression, misery, anguish, and feeling of the meaninglessness of life. Unfortunately, even in the modern world, the problems continue with same intensity although scientific development has definitely surpassed our levels of expectations. Stoicism takes into account the basic psychology of human nature and then proposes only those guidelines which are feasible for everyone. It has avoided the temptation of clinging itself to some popular age-old philosophy or criticizing the existing ones. It has established its own firm roots to withstand the onslaught of the vagaries of life. The paper attempts to bring forth the main tenets of Stoic philosophy and its utility in the present mart of the world without underestimating other philosophies.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to identify how much media generally influences the voting process of political candidates during the election campaign. Also, this paper aims to see what other causes might exist that fewer women compete in politics, and why these women are not getting elected?This paper has utilizes used a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative method includes the analysis of the content of the newspaper?s front page, and the realization of 20 in depth interviews with journalists. While as a quantitative method a survey with questionnaires was used which were filled by 200 citizens of Pristina, Kosovo. In the last local elections held on October 22, 2017 in Kosovo, for 38 Kosovo municipalities, there were 196 men and 8 women candidates running for the local elections. But no woman managed to win the local elections. Even in the previous elections we had a woman who was voted as a mayor, but now we have none. It turns out that on the front page of newspapers men are mentioned much more than women during the election campaign. For example, the daily newspaper Koha Ditore, as the most widely read newspaper, during the election campaign; men politicians who run for mayor were quoted what they said 32 times in front page, while women who also run for mayor quoted only 2 times. Also, the other daily newspaper Zëri had cited men politicians what they promised during the election campaign 27 times while women only twice.

While the body is in a state of constant change, the space has been perceived as a stable entity in a conventional manner. In this research, space has been requestioned with its fluidity and instability through the experience revealed with the performance and the performative body in the theatrical space. The performance and the concept of space can not be abstracted from each other in the art of Theatre. Within the scope of this study, it has been examined how our current spatial perception can be varied by the spatial experience of the body. The latest paradigms and innovations that bodily revolution brought to the theatre space have been observed through experiencing the new Turkish Theatre. The dynamics of body and space interactions have been unveiled in the five different cases which are belong to five different experimental theatre communities of Turkey. The components of the space, body-interactive paradigms of the performance and the dynamics between the performative body and the spectator body, have been constructed the main structure of the analyzes. The significance of this study, is to expand the boundaries of the concept of 'space' for both theatrical and architectural disciplines and to unveil the spatial responses of new requests of this field.
