Riccardo Francovich e i grandi temi del dibattito europeo. Archeologia, storia, tutela, valorizzazione, innovazione. Atti del Convegno (Siena, Santa Maria della Scala, 15-17 novembre 2007)
Il volume accoglie gli Atti del Convegno organizzato dall’Università degli Studi di Siena (Siena, Santa Maria della Scala, 15-17 novembre 2007) per ricordare, a pochi mesi della sua prematura scomparsa, la poliedrica figura dello studioso e rimettere insieme le principali tematiche da lui perseguite. Il volume rispecchia la struttura del convegno, divisa in tre sezioni: la prima, dopo una introduzione sulla figura di Riccardo Francovich, è dedicata ai temi propri dell’archeologia medievale italiana da lui più fortemente perseguiti, la seconda è incentrata sul rapporto fra le sue attività di ricerca ed il più ampio dibattito europeo e la terza sulla tutela, la valorizzazione e l’innovazione tecnologica.
The Long Morning of Medieval Europe
Recent advances in research show that the distinctive features of high medieval civilization began developing centuries earlier than previously thought. The era once dismissed as a "Dark Age" now turns out to have been the long morning of the medieval millennium: the centuries from AD 500 to 1000 witnessed the dawn of developments that were to shape Europe for centuries to come. In 2004, historians, art historians, archaeologists, and literary specialists from Europe and North America convened at Harvard University for an interdisciplinary conference exploring new directions in the study of that long morning of medieval Europe, the early Middle Ages. Invited to think about what seemed to eac...
The Heirs of the Roman West
In this collection leading international authorities analyse the structures and economic functions of non-agrarian centres between ca. 500 and 1000 A.D. – their trade, their surrounding settlements, and the agricultural and cultural milieux. The thirty-one papers presented at an international conference held in Bad Homburg focus on recent archaeological discoveries in Central Europe (Vol.1), as well as onthose from southeastern Europe to Asia Minor (Vol. 2).
Bounded Wilderness
In Bounded Wilderness, Kathryn Jasper focuses on the innovations undertaken at the hermitage of Fonte Avellana in central Italy during the eleventh century by its prior, Peter Damian (d. 1072). The congregation of Fonte Avellana experimented with reforming practices that led to new ways of managing property and relations among clergy, nobles, and the laity. Jasper charts how Damian's notion of monastic reform took advantage of the surrounding topography and geography to amplify the sensory aspects of ascetic experiences. By focusing on monastic landscapes and land ownership, Jasper demonstrates that reform extended beyond abstract ideas. Rather, reform circulated locally through monastic networks and addressed practical concerns such as property boundaries and rights over water, orchards, pastures, and mills. Putting new sources, both documentary and archaeological, into conversation with monastic charters and Damian's letters, Bounded Wilderness reveals the interrelationship of economic practices, religious traditions, and the natural environment in the idea and implementation of reform.
Archeologia del paesaggio medievale. Studi in memoria di Riccardo Francovich
Gli Atti che qui si presentano raccolgono relazioni svolte in due congressi, e precisamente la III Conferenza Italiana di Archeologia Medievale, svoltasi nell’Università di Cassino dal 17 al 19 dicembre 2003 sul tema ‘L’archeologia medievale in Italia nell’ultimo trentennio: un bilancio’, e il VI Congresso di Archeologia Medievale, svoltosi a Roma nella sede del CNR il 31 maggio e il I giugno 2006 sul tema ‘Archeologia Medievale nell’Italia centro-meridionale: insediamenti e territorio’.

The Experience Logic as a New Perspective for Marketing Management
This book provides stimulating insights into the ways in which the adoption of experience logic can revitalize marketing perspectives and stimulate novel approaches to the creation and delivery of value. The first part of the book, which has a theoretical focus, reviews the international literature and offers conceptual observations on the experiential perspective. Suggestions are made on how experience logic can act as a new driver for the management of marketing processes in firms within the context of the experience economy. In the second part of the book, attention turns to the applications of experience logic in different sectors, including tourism, commerce, culture, and trade shows. Company-specific examples of benefits of the experiential approach are also explored in case studies on gift box providers, marketing of traditional local products, and the cosmetics industry. The book will be of particular interest for marketing specialists, but will additionally be of value for managers in private companies and public bodies who wish to enhance their marketing methods.
Mapping the Archaeological Continuum
This book addresses the true 'landscape' perspective approach that archaeologists in Italy, and in many parts of the Mediterranean, use to study the archaeology of landscapes, marking a departure from the traditional site-based approach. The aim of the book is to promote the broader application of new paradigms for landscape analysis, combining traditional approaches with multidisciplinary studies as well as comparatively new techniques such as large-scale geophysical surveying, airborne laser scanning and geo-environmental studies. This approach has yielded tangible and striking results in central Italy, clearly demonstrating that identifying the 'archaeological continuum' is a realistic aim, even under the specific environmental and archaeological conditions of the Mediterranean world.
Cultural Parks and National Heritage Areas
The number of cultural parks has been steadily increasing in recent years throughout the world. But what is a cultural park? This book provides a detailed answer to this question and sets out the basis for an academic debate that moves beyond the technical narratives that have prevailed to date. It is important to open up the topic to academic scrutiny given that cultural parks are becoming widespread devices being employed by different institutions and social groups to manage and enhance cultural and natural heritage assets and landscapes. The main problem in dealing with this topic is the predominant lack of theory-grounded, critical reflection in the literature about cultural parks. These...
