Download or read book National Approaches to the Governance of Historical Heritage Over Time written by Stefan Fisch and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five elements - governmental authorities, public discourse, corporate and market interests, citizens' associations and international agencies - may help in figuring out the complex and challenging purpose of the research work presented in this volume which is nothing less than the history of the governance of cultural and natural heritage in eleven countries, from its outset to the present. Speaking about governance is challenging. The term has been vastly used and misused. But today, when the feverish popularity of the concept is probably in decline, we rest with one solid conviction at least: that social, economic, cultural and institutional processes are governed not only through government (be it national or local) with its legislative, administrative and jurisdictional mechanisms, but through a larger array of different actors and factors. These include schools and universities, citizens' associations, public opinion, economic corporations, non-governmental organizations, learned societies, unions, media, international agencies, clubs, consultants etc. In fact, the reader is going to meet quite a few of these actors in this publication; they are the unavoidable characters involved in the story the authors have set out to tell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "L'université d'Angers et l'université catholique de l'ouest ont pris l'initiative d'organiser en 2006, avec le concours de la Mission Val de Loire, une université d'été consacrée à la fréquentation du patrimoine. Ce thème est d'abord l'objet d'une injonction paradoxale. Alors que des pressions multiples s'exercent pour que le peuple admire les sites les plus remarquables, comme les témoignages les plus obscurs, des discours n'ont de cesse de prôner la limitation de l'accès au nom des risques encourus. Ils sont rejoints pas d'autres au nom de l'incapacité que le plus grand nombre aurait à comprendre et à profiter à bon escient de ce bienfait. Or les lieux les plus fréquentés sont les mieux conservés et les héritages sont surtout menacés par l'oubli. Certes, dans certaines situations, l'organisation des flux, souvent plus que la limitation de l'accès, y est une condition première, mais on observe que les barrières sociales sont trop facilement retenues. Par ailleurs, ce sont souvent des cas rares. Dès lors, les enjeux se situent dans la qualité de l'ouverture. D'une part, l'accessibilité et les visites peuvent être gérées de manière à prendre en compte à la fois la protection et les attentes des visiteurs. D'autre part, la connaissance du patrimoine qui constitue une des clés de l'appréciation de la visite peut être apportée par des techniques d'interprétation, sans pour autant constituer la seule modalité de l'expérience vécue"--P.

Download or read book Partnerships in Sustainable Forest Resource Management Learning from Latin America written by Mirjam Ros-Tonen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together experiences with a rich variety of sustainable forest and tree resource management partnerships in various countries in Latin America – Trinidad, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guyana, Brazil and Ecuador. The authors reflect on the scope, objectives, institutional organisation and benefits of partnerships, on the actors involved and excluded, and on the hindrances associated with overcoming cultural differences, institutional barriers, power imbalances and diverging interests. The question that runs as a common thread through this book is whether, and under what conditions, partnerships for sustainable forest and resource management can contribute to pro-poor, socially just and environmentally-friendly forest governance. By presenting the lessons learned from a wide range of partnerships, this book is a valuable resource for students, scholars and practitioners dealing with new governance forms in forest and natural resource management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'association Patrimoine sans frontières a engagé, dans le cadre du programme " Culture 2000 " de la Commission européenne, une action sur un site exceptionnel et méconnu d'Albanie, la ville de Voskopojë. Le projet, intitulé " Voskopojë sans frontières ", a conduit de nombreux spécialistes français, allemands, grecs et albanais dans un village aujourd'hui habité par 500 habitants, mais qui était, au XVIIe et au XVIIIe siècle l'une des villes les plus florissantes des Balkans. Située sur la route qui reliait Venise, Dürres et Constantinople, Voskopojë possédait une Académie, une imprimerie et de nombreuses églises. Enclave chrétienne au sein du vaste Empire ottoman, elle faisait appel aux meilleurs artistes du temps, comme David Selenica ou les frères Constantin et Athanase Zografi, formés au mont Athos, pour peindre à fresque les lieux de culte. Le relatif oubli dont a souffert Voskopojë durant les dernières décennies, malheureusement, a engendré de graves problèmes de conservation, mettant en péril ce site précieux du patrimoine mondial qui compte un monastère et cinq églises exceptionnelles par leurs décors peints post-byzantins, intérieurs et extérieurs. C'est pourquoi, en collaboration avec l'Institut des monuments de culture d'Albanie, un chantier-école européen de conservation et de restauration a été entrepris, sous la direction scientifique de l'Institut national du patrimoine, centré sur l'église Saint-Athanase. Parallèlement, d'autres actions ont été menées à Voskopojë : archéologie du site, photogrammétrie, études d'architecture, d'histoire de l'art, d'iconographie, de climatologie... Patrimoine des Balkans, Voskopojë sans frontières 2004 se propose donc de faire le compte-rendu des premiers travaux conduits sur les lieux mêmes. Le volume, constitué de plusieurs contributions des spécialistes qui se sont rendus sur place, témoigne de la diversité des actions menées et, surtout, de l'importance et de l'intérêt du patrimoine de Voskopojë. Mais le propos de l'ouvrage se veut plus large. Voskopojë ne saurait être isolée d'une réflexion générale sur l'art post-byzantin dans les Balkans, descendant direct de l'art byzantin, qui s'est épanoui parallèlement à l'art de l'islam dans des régions situées aux frontières de l'Occident et de l'Orient. C'est pourquoi d'autres textes ont été réunis dans le volume, afin de montrer comment l'expression artistique des Balkans s'inscrit, en dépit de ses particularités, dans une tradition riche et multiple.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les sciences humaines et sociales entretiennent avec l'image en général et la carte en particulier des rapports complexes, voire contradictoires ou extrêmes, allant du rejet iconoclaste des uns à l'iconophilie, voire l'iconomanie des autres. Pourquoi pareil spectre de positions à l'intérieur d'une même discipline (ici en géographie) et pareille diversité de pratiques entre disciplines ? Au-delà de la compétence technique nécessaire qui peut expliquer la fréquence et la virtuosité du recours à la cartographie d'une part, au-delà de l'intérêt pédagogique de la visualisation d'un discours abstrait d'autre part, se pose plus fondamentalement la question épistémologique de la valeur heuristique de la carte dans la production du savoir. Après un groupe de contributions introductives définissant des positions théoriques différentes, voire opposées, cet ouvrage développe la réflexion autour de quatre thèmes : 1) Commandes, productions et usages de la carte ; 2) Dénaturaliser les cartes : 1e pouvoir et l'autorité ; 3) Langage graphique et construction du savoir ; 4) Cartographier l'Autre. Il se poursuit par un groupe d'interrogations transversales sur les précurseurs du langage graphique de la cartographie statistique des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles ; sur la valeur rhétorique de 1a carte, les modalités collectives de construction de l'identité et de l'altérité et des politiques publiques territoriales ; à propos des politiques urbaines, sur la force de l'instrument graphique et en même temps sa difficulté, voire son incapacité, à dire la complexité du social. Trois contributions tirent enfin quelques leçons d'ensemble : la première établit une comparaison entre les traditions cartographiques anglo-saxonne et française ; la seconde, sans nier les inconvénients, voire les risques, de l'outil cartographique, insiste sur son apport aux processus de la cognition géographique ; la dernière, interrogeant les travaux de sciences politiques en priorité mais pas exclusivement, pose la question de la redondance de l'image par rapport au texte et surtout du risque d'une cartographie d'assignation, de " portrait du roi ".

Download or read book Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions written by Rafael Aguilar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 2536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (SAHC) that was held in Cusco, Peru in 2018. It disseminates recent advances in the areas related to the structural analysis of historical and archaeological constructions. The challenges faced in this field show that accuracy and robustness of results rely heavily on an interdisciplinary approach, where different areas of expertise from managers, practitioners, and scientists work together. Bearing this in mind, SAHC 2018 stimulated discussion on the new knowledge developed in the different disciplines involved in analysis, conservation, retrofit, and management of existing constructions. This book is organized according to the following topics: assessment and intervention of archaeological heritage, history of construction and building technology, advances in inspection and NDT, innovations in field and laboratory testing applied to historical construction and heritage, new technologies and techniques, risk and vulnerability assessments of heritage for multiple types of hazards, repair, strengthening, and retrofit of historical structures, numerical modeling and structural analysis, structural health monitoring, durability and sustainability, management and conservation strategies for heritage structures, and interdisciplinary projects and case studies. This volume holds particular interest for all the community interested in the challenging task of preserving existing constructions, enable great opportunities, and also uncover new challenges in the field of structural analysis of historical and archeological constructions.

Book excerpt: Hwang Sun-won, perhaps the most beloved and respected Korean writer of the 20th century, based this extraordinary novel on his own experiences in his North Korean home village between the end of World War II and the eve of the Korean War when Korea had been divided into North and South by its two "liberators" - the United States and the Soviet Union. In this story the Soviet-backed communist party, using the promise of land reform, sets people at each other's throat. Portrayed here is an entire community caught in the political and social firestorm that brings out the selfishness, cruelty and ignorance of simple people, but also shows their loyalty and nobility. Compelling here, too, is a heroine who represents the "eternally feminine" for all Korean men, and the setting, the harsh political, psychic and physical landscape of rural postwar North Korea rarely glimpsed by the outside world. Hwang Sun-won is an artist of consummate delicacy and subtlety, and his writing is marked by keen psychological insight and steely asceticism. While three collections of his short stories have appeared in Hong Kong and the West, "The Descendants of Cain" is the first English translation of a Hwang Sun-won novel.
