In Search of Pre-Classical Antiquity: Rediscovering Ancient Peoples in Mediterranean Europe (19th and 20th c.)
The book aims rethinking the cultural history of Mediterranean nationalisms between 19th and 20th centuries by tracing their specific approach to antiquity in the forging of a national past. By focusing on how national imaginaries dealt with this topic and how history and archaeology relied on antiquity, this collection of essays introduces a comparative approach presenting several cases studies concerning many regions including Spain, Italy and Slovenia as well as Albania, Greece and Turkey. By adopting the perspective of a dialogue among all these Mediterranean political cultures, this book breaks significantly new ground, because it shifts attention on how Southern Europe nationalisms are an interconnected political and cultural experience, directly related to the intellectual examples of Northern Europe, but also developing its own particular trends. Contributors are: Çiğdem Atakuman, Filippo Carlà, Francisco Garcia Alonso, Maja Gori, Eleni Stefanou, Rok Stergar, Katia Visconti.
Tecnologías multimedia para la enseñanza y aprendizaje en la universidad
Las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación están formando la fábrica de la enseñanza y de aprendizaje universitario: virtualizando cursos y algunas universidades completas, y conduciendo a formas semi-presenciales una buena parte de las asignaturas. Pero, también y quizás de manera más profunda, introduciendo nuevas maneras de producir, organizar, conservar, y distribuir conocimiento. Este libro nos muestra cómo se han producido esos cambios en la universidad de Barcelona a través de las reflexiones de los profesores que han estado implicados en un proyecto institucional de innovación docente y también de las conclusiones a las que han llegado para mejorar su docencia. Este libro se complementa con un cd-rom en el que se describen, mediante entrevistas de video, algunos de los proyectos, con entrevistas tanto a los profesores como a los alumnos que han intervenido en los mismos.
Antropología de la religión
Antropología de la religión. Una aproximación interdisciplinar a las religiones antiguas y contemporáneas es una obra colectiva, fruto del esfuerzo interdisciplinario de cada uno de los autores, cuyo objetivo es acercar al lector al fenómeno religioso desde dos disciplinas hermanas: la Antropología y la Historia. El estudio de la religión desde una perspectiva histórica y antropológica tiene como punto de partida la consideración del fenómeno religioso como hecho social, histórico y cultural, que adquiere su sentido en un contexto concreto, como resultado y proceso de la actividad humana. Este punto de partida común nos conduce a la reflexión sobre la variedad de prácticas, cr...
Heritage and Globalisation
This volume analyzes the politics, policy and practice of cultural heritage at the global level, identifying the major directions in which international heritage practice is moving, and exploring the key issues likely to shape the cultural heritage field well into the twenty-first century. It examines the tensions between the universal claims of much heritage practice, particularly that associated with the World Heritage system, and national and local perspectives. It explores the international legal framework developed since World War Two to protect heritage, particularly at times of war, and from theft, showing how contemporary global problems of conflict and illicit trade continue to chal...
Digital Materialities
As the distinction between the digital and the material world becomes increasingly blurred, the ways in which we think about design are also shifting and evolving. How can the human, digital and material be brought together to intervene in the world? What constitutes our digital-material environments? How can we engage with digital technologies to make sustainable, healthy and meaningful decisions, both now and in the future? Digital Materialities presents twelve chapters by scholars and practitioners working at the intersection between design and digital research in the UK, Spain, Australia and the USA. By incorporating in-depth understandings of the digital-material world from both the soc...

The Brontë Cabinet: Three Lives in Nine Objects
"Yields up all sorts of fascinating new angles on the famous siblings…Illuminating." —Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air In this unique and lovingly detailed biography, Victorian literature scholar Deborah Lutz illuminates the fascinating lives of the Brontës through the things they wore, stitched, and inscribed. Lutz immerses readers in a nuanced re-creation of the sisters’ days while moving us chronologically through their lives. From the miniature books they made as children to the walking sticks they carried on hikes on the moors, each possession opens a window onto the sisters’ world, their beloved fiction, and the Victorian era.
Beyond Productivity
Computer science has drawn from and contributed to many disciplines and practices since it emerged as a field in the middle of the 20th century. Those interactions, in turn, have contributed to the evolution of information technology â€" new forms of computing and communications, and new applications â€" that continue to develop from the creative interactions between computer science and other fields. Beyond Productivity argues that, at the beginning of the 21st century, information technology (IT) is forming a powerful alliance with creative practices in the arts and design to establish the exciting new, domain of information technology and creative practicesâ€"ITCP. There are major benefits to be gained from encouraging, supporting, and strategically investing in this domain.
The Evolution of the Image
This volume addresses the evolution of the visual in digital communities, offering a multidisciplinary discussion of the ways in which images are circulated in digital communities, the meanings that are attached to them and the implications they have for notions of identity, memory, gender, cultural belonging and political action. Contributors focus on the political efficacy of the image in digital communities, as well as the representation of the digital self in order to offer a fresh perspective on the role of digital images in the creation and promotion of new forms of resistance, agency and identity within visual cultures.
