This edited book provides a broad collection of current critical reflections on heritage-making processes involving landscapes, positioning itself at the intersection of landscape and heritage studies. Featuring an international range of contributions from researchers, academics, activists, and professionals, the book aims to bridge the gap between research and practice and to nourish an interdisciplinary debate spanning the fields of geography, anthropology, landscape and heritage studies, planning, conservation, and ecology. It provokes critical enquiry about the challenges between heritage-making processes and global issues, such as sustainability, economic inequalities, social cohesion, and conflict, involving voices and perspectives from different regions of the world. Case studies in Italy, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Turkey, the UK, Columbia, Brazil, New Zealand, and Afghanistan highlight different approaches, values, and models of governance. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers, academics, practitioners, and every landscape citizen interested in heritage studies, cultural landscapes, conservation, geography, and planning.
Il bosco nella sua dimensione economica, sociale, giuridica, è stato già oggetto di studio di numerose pubblicazioni. Questo volume si concentra invece sulla sua valenza sacrale e religiosa nella lunga durata che va dalla tarda antichità al medioevo. Luogo di confine in cui gli uomini si perdono o si ritrovano, paesaggio affollato di creature spaventose, di eremiti e briganti, spazio in cui l’uomo convive con gli animali e con le piante, il bosco è anche momento di incontro tra uomo, naturale e sovrannaturale, ambiente in cui l’umano incontra il divino nelle sue più varie manifestazioni. Questo sistema di relazioni, già esistente nei boschi sacri dell’antichità, permane ancora per il periodo in esame? O, piuttosto, siamo in presenza di uno spazio desacralizzato in cui gli esseri che lo abitano vivono secondo le leggi della natura, sovvertite solo temporaneamente dall’irruzione del miracoloso? Il libro cerca di rispondere a queste e ad altre domande, interrogando le fonti storiche, la tradizione iconografica e archeologica, la fortuna letteraria e la dimensione filosofica attraverso concreti e verificabili casi di studio.
Chi l’ha detto che i draghi debbano essere per forza cattivi o che le principesse abbiano bisogno di essere salvate da un principe? Le “Fiabe allegre” sono dedicate alla voglia di ridere e di sognare dei bambini, alla loro sorprendente capacità di guardare oltre le apparenze.
Crossing the Stream, Leaving the Cave brings philosophers from two of the world's great philosophical traditions--Platonic and Indian Buddhist--into joint inquiry on topics in metaphysics, epistemology, mind, language, and ethics. An international team of scholars address selected questions of mutual concern to Buddhist and Platonist: How can knowledge of reality transform us? Will such transformation leave us speechless, or disinterested in the world around us? What is cause? What is self-knowledge? And how can dreams shed light on waking cognition? What do the paradoxes thrown up by abstract thought about fundamental notions such as being and unity reveal? Is it possible to attain unity in...
Ermanna Montanari: a minute body that grows enormous on stage and a magnetic visage capable of expressing unlimited intensities; a voice that creates stage figures and becomes a musical instrument; an original language that encompasses every type of performance; microscopic precision and the magma of an infancy still vital in the language of dreams and the enigma of her native dialect. Laura Mariani, subtle analyst of theater and memory, portrays Ermanna in the weaving of art and life and in relation to Marco Martinelli, director and playwright and other pole in a complex alchemy. Mariani interrogates the figure of Ermanna through written and visual sources, unpublished notebooks and traces of the process of creation. A narrative journey—biography, portrait of the artist, chronicle of becoming—to examine in detail the raw material of an actress and of theater as it unfolds.
L'evidenza di moltissimi indizi o reperti archeologici - finora considerati "anomali", o semplicemente ignorati o screditati perché troppo "scomodi" per l'archeologia ufficiale - assieme alle molte testimonianze storiche di antichi testi, fanno emergere il quadro di una Storia dell'Uomo diversa. Se a ciò si aggiungono le molte incongruenze della attuale scienza, allora diviene del tutto evidente che l'Uomo è ben altro che un "caso" dell'evoluzione, e viene da molto, molto lontano, nel tempo e nello spazio… Per quanto possa apparire impossibile, vi sono numerosi ritrovamenti di oggetti indiscutibilmente "umani" e tecnologici imprigionati entro strati geologici formatisi centinaia di migl...
In this scientific research book, there are some scientific research chapters on “Extreme SuperHyperPerfect ” and “Neutrosophic SuperHyperPerfect ” about some scientific researches on SuperHyperPerfect by two (Extreme/Neutrosophic) notions, namely, Extreme SuperHyperPerfect and Neutrosophic SuperHyperPerfect . With scientific researches on the basic properties, the scientific research book starts to make Extreme SuperHyperPerfect theory and Neutrosophic SuperHyperPerfect theory more (Extremely/Neutrosophicly) understandable. Some scientific studies and scientific researches about neutrosophic graphs, are proposed as book in the following by Henry Garrett (2022) which is indexed by Go...
