Journeys of Life
Trained as a cultural historian, Thomas R. Cole is one of the most influential scholars of his generation, with his work moving beyond and impacting many other fields and disciplines. His work includes The Journey of Life: A Cultural History of Aging in America, which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Cole also published No Color Is My Kind: The Life of Eldrewey Stearns and the Integration of Houston, creating along with the book an accompanying film, The Strange Demise of Jim Crow, which was nominated for a regional Emmy and a National Humanities Medal. Cole created a number of other films as well. In all of his work, there is an emphasis on religion, spirituality, and moral meaning. Cole is also a Jewish spiritual director, and this work has become a major focus for him in retirement. This edited volume engages or responds to Cole’s work, which spans cultural history, oral history, aging studies, film, medical humanities, religious studies, and more. As such, this book is not about Cole per se, but the impact of his ideas and subsequent inspirations.

The book ponders the experience gained and the points of view of the different disciplines involved, examines issues such as children and youth participation in civil life or education in cultural heritage and landscape, and presents real-world experiences of heritage education in everyday landscape in difficult contexts and/or concerning poorly recognized and valued cultural heritage.

Laura Stocco. Croce di Luce
Due rette si incontrano e nasce una croce, due strade si attraversano e si forma un croce-via, un luogo di incontro, il topos della parola. Oggi si chiamerebbe meeting! Sembra un gioco di doppi sensi ma in realtà è la genesi morfologica del linguaggio, la casa del segno, l'incipit del racconto. Laura Stocco è una donna che parla di vita." Sandra Leone Croce di luce è un'esperienza emozionale composta da 14 racconti, narranti il percorso spirituale della Via Crucis. 14 pannelli ad encausto, appartenenti alla chiesa di Santa Bertilla a Vicenza, che mostrano in forma astratta il cammino della croce che diventa luce intrisa dei segni e del colore della sofferenza del Cristo. Un incontro tragico ma illuminato che non cade mai nel silenzio della narrazione ma continua a parlare attraverso il sensibile, attraverso la musica delle vibrazioni del colore e delle forme. Quello che ripresenta Laura Stocco è una riflessione attiva sulla fede, sull'incontro con la croce, simbolo e materia, luce e forma del divino.
