Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Download or read book Divine Names on the Spot written by Fabio Porzia and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.'

Download or read book Handbook of Multilingualism and Multiculturalism written by Geneviève Zarate and published by Archives contemporaines. This book was released on 2011 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built around the concept of linguistic and cultural plurality, this book defines language as an instrument of action and symbolic power. Plurality is conceived here as : a complex array of voices, perspectives and approaches that seeks to preserve the complexity of the multilingual and multicultural enterprise, including language learning and teaching ; a coherent system of relationships among various languages, research traditions and research sites that informs qualitative methods of inquiry into multilingualism and its uses in everyday life ; a view of language as structured sociohistorical object, observable from several simultaneous spatiotemporal standpoints, such as that of daily interactions or that which sustains the symbolic power of institutions. This book is addressed to teacher trainers, young researchers, decision makers, teachers concerned with the role of languages in the evolution of societies and educational systems. It aims to elicit discussion by articulating practices, field observations and analyses based on a multidisciplinary conceptual framework.

Download or read book Building an Emergency Plan written by and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2000-02-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building an Emergency Plan provides a step-by-step guide that a cultural institution can follow to develop its own emergency preparedness and response strategy. This workbook is divided into three parts that address the three groups generally responsible for developing and implementing emergency procedures—institution directors, emergency preparedness managers, and departmental team leaders—and discuss the role each should play in devising and maintaining an effective emergency plan. Several chapters detail the practical aspects of communication, training, and forming teams to handle the safety of staff and visitors, collections, buildings, and records. Emergencies covered include natural events such as earthquakes or floods, as well as human-caused emergencies, such as fires that occur during renovation. Examples from the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, the Museo de Arte Popular Americano in Chile, the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, and the Seattle Art Museum show how cultural institutions have prepared for emergencies relevant to their sites, collections, and regions.

Download or read book Water Heritage written by Willem Willems and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the ages. Its presence has always been ascertained in a variety of ways and the development of human society everywhere is connected with various forms of water management. Man also needed to manage water to find protection from its dangers and the need for that is increasing. In the coming decades, the impact of climate change is expected to intensify floods and droughts, affect groundwater resources, raise sea levels, increase pollution and enhance the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Societies around the world are challenged to adapt to these threats to ensure water security, economic prosperity and environmental and cultural sustainability. This book deals with the heritage of water management and the use that was made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. An example of the former may be an ancient irrigation system in the Filipines or in the Middle East that still functions today, while the latter may reflect the importance of maintaining groundwater levels for the preservation of organic remains on archaeological sites or of wooden piles underneath standing buildings. In either case the papers in this book reflect the dynamic nature of water, and hence the equally dynamic relation between water management and heritage. This publication follows up on a Heritage and Water conference in Amsterdam, the first of its kind. Its main purpose is to credibly present the importance and value of heritage and historical experience for water and sustainable development, and vice versa, present the importance of water management for the protection of heritage. It presents evolving insights and concepts about Water and about Heritage from a variety of disciplines, policy and public perspectives illustrated with cases studies and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage fournit aux enseignants des réponses concrètes aux questions qu'ils se posent par rapport à l'enseignement de la géographie, à l’évaluation des compétences et aux nouvelles pédagogies et technologies de l’information et de la communication. Quelle géographie enseigner aujourd’hui et comment l’enseigner ? Comment donner à tous les adolescents une réelle éducation géographique leur permettant de mieux se situer dans un monde de plus en plus complexe et en évolution continuelle ? Comment organiser les apprentissages en tenant compte des besoins et des difficultés des élèves ? Comment mettre en place un enseignement qui prépare à apprendre, qui prépare à demain ? Telles sont quelques questions majeures posées à la didactique de la géographie, tant en Belgique et en France que dans de nombreux pays étrangers, et auxquelles le livre tente d’apporter des réponses. Fruit d’une expérience de plus de trente ans en matière de formation des enseignants et de multiples recherches et collaborations avec les milieux belges et étrangers de l’enseignement secondaire, l’ouvrage propose aux enseignants et futurs enseignants un outil de formation organisé autour de quatre interrogations fondamentales : comment définir les objectifs des apprentissages, comment choisir et organiser les acquisitions de base, comment mettre en œuvre les démarches et les méthodes les plus adéquates, comment évaluer les acquis et les apprentissages ? Articulant géographie et pédagogie, théorie et pratique, et témoignant des dernières technologies disponibles, cet ouvrage cherche aussi à travers des éléments de réflexion et des mises en œuvre concrètes à participer à la réflexion sans cesse constante de l’enseignement de la géographie. À PROPOS DE LA COLLECTION ACTION! La pédagogie dans l'enseignement secondaire. Une collection de pédagogie, pluridisciplinaire, qui propose aux enseignants des pistes concrètes et des outils pour optimaliser leurs pratiques.

Book excerpt: Comment évaluer les élèves ? Quel sytème de notation adopter ? Quels sont les fontions et les enjeux de l'évaluation ? Les méthodes d'évaluation scolaire sont au cœur des relations entre enseignants et élèves.

Cet ouvrage dresse tout d'abord un inventaire des situations d'apprentissage et des pratiques traditionnelles d'évaluation scolaire. L'auteur propose ensuite des applications concrètes issues de méthodes originales élaborées à partir des notions d'évaluation formative et de pédagogie différenciée. A la fois accessible, pratique et novateur, ce livre met en regard l'évaluation et les objectifs de la pédagogie. Il constitue un guide de travail et de formation pour les étudiants des IUFM ainsi que pour l'ensemble des partenaires de l'éducation.
