Items related to In the borderland of cultures
A borderline area is a stretch of land which divides regions of a certain civilization. As a rule, such an area cuts apart different civilizations, political, and hence, cultural entities, oftentimes also religious. However, it may happen that a borderline area, despite the popular understanding of the term, is of a uniting, rather than dividing character and, as a result, it may offer an unique amalgam of various forms of culture, which seems to constitute an entity in its own right. This may happen when different civilizations and cultures live in mutual respect and understanding, allowing one another to retain their uniqueness.

Published without a dust jacket. --- "We are presenting our reader with this album, which is a result of the author's fascination with the culture of the borderlands. In the Podkarpacie, as in no other place, the fusion of Western and Eastern cultures has left its mark in the unparalleled number of wooden Orthodox and Catholic churches erected throughout a period of over 500 years. In the remaining wooden temples of the Podkarpacie we can trace the unique atmosphere of the multicultural and multi-ethnic reality of the Eastern Borderlands (Kresy) of the historical Polish Republic, an area of religious and cultural tolerance. We begin our tour of 75 places in Haczow, one of the oldest and largest carcass constructed temples and we finish at the Bieszczady wooden Orthodox churches created shortly before World War II. The 'borderline of cultures' is a Europe-wide phenomenon in which neighbouring cultures would intermingle and complement each other over centuries and, as a result, they have created a separate entity.".
