Download or read book Unpacking Italy written by Tony Gates and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tony Gates has a love affair with Italy. This book shares the affair with you. He has visited Italy more times than he knows. He brings to this “unpacking” of Italy the experience of many years, enjoyment of its many cultures, fascination with the events which brought a united Italy into being, deep appreciation of its art, and engagement with its people and places. This is not a guidebook. Tony wants to take you to the heartbeat of Italy, a journey which looks carefully at the events and scenes along the way and listens attentively to the pulse beats of the Italian peninsula. The journey reveals that there is really more than one Italy. Greeks, Romans, Etruscans, Umbrians, Normans, Lombards, French and many others have ensured that. Where once Latin held pride of linguistic place, numerous dialects remain, pointing to the variety that is the Italy which the author shares with you. His hope is that you will find an exciting Italy as you join him on the journey. Tony wishes you Buon Viaggio.
Download or read book Visualising Place Memory and the Imagined written by Sarah De Nardi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book probes into how communities and social groups construct their understanding of the world through real and imagined experiences of place. The book seeks to connect the dots of the factual and the imaginary that form affective networks of identities, which help shape local memory and sense of self and community, as well as a sense of the past. It exploits the concept of make-believe spaces – in the environment, storytelling and mnemonic narratives – as a social framework that aligns and informs the everyday memory worlds of communities. Drawing upon fieldwork in cultural heritage, community archaeology, social history and conflict history and anthropology, this text offers a methodological framework within which social groups may position and enact the multiple senses of place and senses of the past inhabited and performed in different cultural contexts. This book serves to illustrate a useful visualisation methodology which can be used in participatory fieldwork and thus will be of interest to heritage specialists, ethnographers and cultural geographers and oral history practitioners who will particularly find the methodology cheap, easy to replicate and enjoyable for community-based projects.

Download or read book Italy Unpacked Unwrapped written by Graham Hofmann and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After having a house as a holiday escape for many years, Graham eventually moved from his native Yorkshire, England, to Umbria, the Green Heart of Italy, in 2015. He knew, with absolute certainty, that he had fallen in love with this boot shaped country. Alongside the personal tale of his life in Umbria, told with light-hearted humour, Graham also digs into what makes Italy, Italia. He questions the truth of some stereotypes, whilst finding ample evidence to support many. Cultural attitudes and behaviours are unpicked, the politics of Italy explained. An attempt is even made to wade through a bewildering bureaucracy that often leaves him completely baffled. And a taste is given of what it's like to live in a country where the ground literally moves beneath your feet. Graham asks questions that many tourists never think to ask, opening doors that they never think to look behind. He also uncovers Italy's darker side, delving into its bloated criminal underbelly - the mafia. Italy Unpacked and Unwrapped takes you way beyond the experiences of a tourist and part time visitor. Inevitably the book has its serious moments. Graham moved to live in Italy before Brexit, Trump and the general rise of nationalism. What appeared to be rational politics completely sent tumbling out of balance. And then, the totally unexpected and unpredictable happened, a worldwide pandemic in the form of Covid-19. Graham continues to be intoxicated by this Mediterranean country. As for La Dolce Vita, is it a reality or a dream? The telling of his life in Italy is told with amusing detail, with just the occasional moment of genuine sadness. At times his analysis of the country and its people, verging on the forensic. Follow his journey, you could be surprised by what you discover.
