Download or read book Heritage Regimes and the State written by Bendix, Regina and published by Universitätsverlag Göttingen. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when UNESCO heritage conventions are ratified by a state? How do UNESCO’s global efforts interact with preexisting local, regional and state efforts to conserve or promote culture? What new institutions emerge to address the mandate? The contributors to this volume focus on the work of translation and interpretation that ensues once heritage conventions are ratified and implemented. With seventeen case studies from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and China, the volume provides comparative evidence for the divergent heritage regimes generated in states that differ in history and political organization. The cases illustrate how UNESCO’s aspiration to honor and celebrate cultural diversity diversifies itself. The very effort to adopt a global heritage regime forces myriad adaptations to particular state and interstate modalities of building and managing heritage.

Download or read book Italian Food Activism in Urban Sardinia written by Carole Counihan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her new book, Italian Food Activism in Urban Sardinia, cultural anthropologist Carole Counihan makes a significant contribution to understanding the growing global movement for food democracy. Providing a detailed ethnographic case study from Cagliari, the capital of the Italian island-region of Sardinia, she draws upon Sardinians' own descriptions of their actions and motivations to change their food as they pursue grassroots alternatives to the agro-industrial food system through GAS (Gruppi di Acquisito Solidale or solidarity-based purchase groups), organic and urban agriculture, alternative restaurants, and farm-to-school programs. They link their activism to the sensory and emotional resonance of food and its nostalgic connections to place, tradition, and culture. They stress the importance of education through experience, and they build relationships and networks through workshops, farm visits, and commensality. The book focuses on three key themes to emerge in interviews with Cagliari food activists: the significance of territorio (or place), the importance of taste, and the role of education. By exploring these areas of concern, Counihan uncovers key tensions in consumption as a force for change, in individual vs. group actions, and in political and economic power relations, which are of crucial importance to wider global efforts to promote food democracy.
Download or read book A Cultural History of Plants in the Early Modern Era written by Andrew Dalby and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cultural History of Plants in the Early Modern Era covers the period from 1400 to 1650, a time of discovery and rediscovery, of experiment and innovation. Renaissance learning brought ancient knowledge to modern European consciousness whilst exploration placed all the continents in contact with one another. The dissemination of knowledge was further speeded by the spread of printing. New staples and spices, new botanical medicines, and new garden plants all catalysed agriculture, trade, and science. The great medical botanists of the period attempted no less than what Marlowe's Dr Faustus demanded - a book “wherein I might see all plants, herbs, and trees that grow upon the earth.” Human impact on plants and our botanical knowledge had irrevocably changed. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Plants presents the first comprehensive history of the uses and meanings of plants from prehistory to today. The themes covered in each volume are plants as staple foods; plants as luxury foods; trade and exploration; plant technology and science; plants and medicine; plants in culture; plants as natural ornaments; the representation of plants. Andrew Dalby is an independent scholar and writer, based in France. Annette Giesecke is Professor of Classics at the University of Delaware, USA. Volume 3 in the Cultural History of Plants set. General Editors: Annette Giesecke, University of Delaware, USA, and David Mabberley, University of Oxford, UK.
Download or read book Taccuino sul paesaggio rurale Le colline del vino written by Laurana Lajolo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le colline di Langa e Monferrato e Roero, emerse dal mare preistorico, sono fin dall'antichità coltivate a vigneto dalla mano paziente dei contadini, che hanno creato un'opera d'arte collettiva plasmando un paesaggio armonico, unico e irripetibile, riconosciuto nel 2014 dall'Unesco patrimonio culturale dell'umanità (50mo sito italiano inserito nella World Heritage List). Questo taccuino ripercorre la storia geologica e quella agraria del territorio, mettendo a confronto la visione contadina tradizionale della piccola proprietà con le ultime trasformazioni socio-economiche, dovute alla modernizzazione dell'azienda agricola e all'innovazione tecnologica. Viene anche ricordato il portato immaginifico degli scrittori del Novecento, che hanno reso quelle colline luoghi letterari di rara suggestione.

Download or read book Reviving the Renaissance written by Rosanna Pavoni and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an account of neo-Renaissance taste and style in Italy during the second half of the nineteenth century. By the time Italy had developed its obsession with the neo-Renaissance in the 1870s, collectors and scholars in the rest of Europe had been excited by Renaissance taste and style for several decades. In Italy the Renaissance was promptly reconceptualised, in a forced alignment with the accepted historical version of its birth and development, and its help enlisted in the search for an Italian national identity. But what represented this neo-Renaissance in Italy, and what aided its diffusion? In an attempt to answer these questions this book explores the many areas marked by neo-Renaissance taste. It traces its diffusion and development from the institutions which instructed its chief exponents, to architecture and exhibitions and the publications which disseminated neo-Renaissance designs so effectively.
