Summary

Bogdan Mesinger: Medalja

The original author's work of the doyen of Croatian literature and culture, built on the basis of many years of theoretical and art-critic work, represents the historical development of medal-making in Croatia, where the phenomenon of the medal itself is theoretically interpreted - its appearance, development and meaning as a specific medium, symbolic artifact and social-historical and cultural-valuable phenomenon in the history of human civilization are explained. The theoretical segments of this book are based on the synthesis of the study of medal-making with the principles and methods of semiology: namely, Mesinger elaborated his theoretical discussion on the medal in a completely original way - using the theory of signs. Semantic analysis and semiological approach to the medal phenomenon derive from the author's domicile scientific field of activity, philology. Mesinger's comprehensive study is a polyvalent, interdisciplinary treatise that unites different areas, methodologies and discourses - historical art, historical, anthropological, linguistic, semiological - and this with an authentic stylistic expression where the expert-scientific form of presentation is combined with the author's characteristic prose and even poetic style. In a lucid and intriguing way, the author shows how, through the mediation of a today's marginal and marginalised, but by no means minor (despite its metric dimensions) media, a special symbol-making microcosm was established over the centuries of the long past as a credible reflection, but also a value standard of an entire history and culture.
