This book was released on 2015-04-22 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cueva de La Peña (San Román de Candamo, Asturias) es una de las cavidades pioneras en el descubrimiento del arte paleolítico de la Región Cantábrica. En Asturias, los primeros reconocimientos de este valioso patrimonio cultural –uno de los más importantes de Europa–, se inician en 1908 con el descubrimiento de pinturas y grabados de edad paleolítica en cuevas tan singulares como El Pindal y La Loja. Estas primeras valoraciones del arte del Pleistoceno se producen gracias a la colaboración prestada por estudiosos locales que, como Hermilio Alcalde del Río y Ricardo Duque de Estrada, más conocido como Conde de la Vega del Sella, impulsarán la investigación prehistórica prestando un apoyo decidido a los grandes arqueólogos del momento que trabajan en el norte de España: Hugo Obermaier y Henri Breuil, entre otros. La cueva de La Peña de Candamo era conocida en la comarca y visitada ocasionalmente entre 1903 y 1911, según testimonian diversos graffitis conservados en lugares retirados como la Galería de las Batiscias. El descubrimiento científico se produce en el verano de 1914, cuando un vecino de Pravia señala a Hernández-Pacheco la probable existencia de pinturas prehistóricas en la cavidad, aportando su propio testimonio y el de un vecino conocido como “El Cristo”, que penetraban en la cueva en busca de estalactitas. Paralelamente, aunque de forma independiente, el Conde de la Vega del Sella visita la cueva e improvisa un cierre provisional de la entrada, reconociendo ambos la antigüedad de las pinturas y grabados de los paneles del Gran Salón de los Grabados.

Download or read book Pure and Programme Music in the Romanticism written by Magda Polo Pujadas and published by Ed. Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most difficult challenges a music theoretician faces, be it historically, philosophically or in other aspects, is that of correctly and precisely framing the meaning that music has in a specific moment: deducing the “why” and revealing the secret hidden within. The book Pure and Programme Music in the Romanticism, a rigorous and indispensable study to understand music in the period in which music as an expression of feelings, begins to reach the threshold of the sublime —primarily focusing attention on what pure and programme music represent. Both types of music are instrumental, but the difference between them is that the first one, pure music, exists on its own, and for its own sake, establishing an iron-clad alliance with the form. Programme music is inspired by other forms of artistic expression, especially literature, and is indelibly linked with the content. However, halfway between these two types of music, a new one is born: absolute music. This music is the result from the dialectic established between the pure and programme, exactly in the middle of two opposing philosophies, that of Idealism and that of Materialism. All of this context described in this book is what defines the essence of Romantic music but also what allows us to understand the music of the twentieth century and that of today, because the controversy between pure music and programme music has represented, in the history of western musical thought, the turning point that led to the creation of the Gesamtkunstwerk (Total Work of Art) and the relationship between music and film, for example, as well as other artistic expressions.

Download or read book Anthropology without Informants written by L. G. Freeman and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2009-05-31 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L.G. Freeman is a major scholar of Old World Paleolithic prehistory and a self-described “behavioral paleoanthropologist.” Anthropology without Informants is a collection of previously published papers by this preeminent archaeologist, representing a cross section of his contributions to Old Work Paleolithic prehistory and archaeological theory. A socio-cultural anthropologist who became a behavioral paleoanthropologist late in his career, Freeman took a unique approach, employing statistical or mathematical techniques in his analysis of archaeological data. All the papers in this collection blend theoretical statements with the archeological facts they are intended to help the reader understand. Although he taught at the University of Chicago for the span of his 40-year career, Freeman is not well-known among Anglophone scholars, because his primary fieldwork and publishing occurred in Cantabrian, Spain. However, he has been a major player in Paleolithic prehistory, and this volume will introduce his work to more American Archaeologists. This collection brings the work of an expert scholar, to a broad audience, and will be of interest to archaeologists, their students, and lay readers interested in the Paleolithic era.
Download or read book El Mir n Cave Cantabrian Spain written by Lawrence Guy Straus and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though known as a site since 1903, El Mirón Cave in the Cantabrian Mountains of northern Spain remained unexcavated until a team from the universities of New Mexico and Cantabria began ongoing excavations in 1996. This large, deeply stratified cave allowed the team to apply cutting-edge techniques of excavation, recording, and multidisciplinary analysis in the meticulous study of a site that has become a new reference sequence for the classic Cantabrian region. The excavations uncovered the long history of human occupation of the cave, extending from the end of the Middle Paleolithic, through the Upper Paleolithic, up to the modern era. This volume comprehensively describes the background information on the setting, the site, the chronology, and the sedimentology. It then focuses on the biological and archaeological records of the Holocene levels pertaining to Mesolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic, and Bronze Age. Archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians will be drawn to this study and its extensive findings, dated by some seventy-five radiocarbon assays.

Download or read book An Enquiring Mind written by Paul G. Bahn and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 2009 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Marshack single-handedly revolutionized the field of Paleolithic art research. His astounding photographs of portable art objects caused us to see them with fresh eyes, to ask new questions, and to understand their technology and production far more precisely; and his pioneering use of infrared and ultraviolet light in the caves revealed startling new facts about the paintings. In addition, he carried out important, provocative and challenging work on archaeoastronomy, calendar sticks, female imagery, and other topics. Alexander Marshack was able to do what nobody else ever had before, or perhaps ever will again - i.e. travel all over Europe, visiting not only many decorated caves but also all the portable art objects scattered throughout the continent, including Russia. This unique experience and knowledge, together with his unrivalled and amazing documentation of all this material, made him by far the USA's foremost specialist in Paleolithic imagery. To honor his memory, in this book, scholars from many parts of the world contribute papers about some of the many problems that interested him and to which he made such a massive contribution.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the acclaimed Chaos and Genius comes a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the big ideas of the modern era: Information, communication, and information theory. Acclaimed science writer James Gleick presents an eye-opening vision of how our relationship to information has transformed the very nature of human consciousness. A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa’s talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.
