U povodu rasprava koje su se vodile oko izrade nastavnog programa Likovne kulture za srednje škole autor se osvrće na dvije osnovne tenden• čije koje su se tom prilikom ispoljile. Prva, šira, polazeći od suvremene teorije dizajna (totaldizajna, dizajna čovjekove okoline), s određenim filo- zofsko-amtropološkim usmjerenjem, sagledava likovnu kulturu u dinamičkom kontekstu dijalektičkog trokuta priroda — čovjek — djelo (kultura, oblik) razvija ideju likovne kulture iz oblikovnog karaktera sveukupnog čovjekova djelovanja u koordinatama sinkronije i dijakronije. — Drugi program izražava tendenciju promatranja likovne kulture primarno kao učenje »vizualnog jezika« te je prepoznatljiv njegov lingvističko-strukturalistički karakter s potpunom izolacijom oblika isključivo na sinkronijskoj razini. Kao zasnivač teoretske osnove prvog programa, autor se kritički odnosi prema osamostaljivanju lingvističkog pristupa likovnoj kulturi i prihvaća ga samo unutar šireg dijalektičkog modela, pozivajući se u obrazlaganju na Saussurea, Wienera, Chomskoga, Martineta od lingvista, a na Gropiusa, Mal- donada, Eca, Pacia i Argana od teoretičara dizajna i umjetnosti

Echo chambers, fake news, filter bubbles and algorithms have been framed as great threats to our contemporary democracies and public spheres. In the Nordic countries, the state plays an active role in sustaining democracy and the public sphere through culture- and knowledge policies. The Norwegian Government have over the last years presented a white paper on overall cultural policy and a library strategy document. Both documents address the effects of digital technology on democracy, and how culture institutions in general and libraries in particular can help sustain our democracies in changing times. In this article, we study these and preceding documents on culture- and library policies. We analyze how they address digital technology and how they see culture- and library policies as providing solutions to digital threats to democracy and the public sphere. Furthermore, we study what notion of democracy and the public sphere are prevalent in Norwegian cultural policies. The results show that the Government view culture as a remedy against a fragmented public sphere, and that libraries play a key role as providers of digital guidance and teaching.

Identity construction is one of the fundamental human needs. The process takes place in two areas simultaneously: internal, self-reflexive and external, associated with a sense of belonging to a particular group. The Jews, until the beginning of the nineteenth century constituted quite uniform society voluntarily separating themselves from other communities. As a result of emancipation and assimilation processes, various influences affect their identity. As a consequence the Jews faced two difficulties. The first one was the dilemma between own nation and territorial homeland while the other was the progressing deep internal divisions. At present Jewish identity is most of all national and ethnical identity strongly reinforced by historical memory and fight with anti-Semitism. After the period of the twentieth century crisis and in the light of the western world secularization it has become also cultural identity.Identity construction is one of the fundamental human needs.
