Source: UNESCO DIRECTION: Isabel Tort Ausina International Mother Language Day celebrates linguistic and cultural diversity alongside multilingualism as a force for peace and sustainable development, United Nations officials said today, marking the commemoration by calling on countries to promote and protect local languages, “which are keys to global citizenship and authentic mutual understanding.” “Recognizing local languages enables more people to make their voices heard and take an active part in their collective fate,” said Irina Bokova, DirectorGeneral of the UN Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO), which in its work promotes the harmonious coexistence of the 7,000 languages spoken worldwide. The International Day was proclaimed by the UNESCO General Conference in 1999. In 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on Member States “to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by peoples of the world”. By the same text, the Assembly proclaimed 2008 as the International Year of Languages, to promote unity in diversity and international understanding, through multilingualism and multiculturalism. The 2014 International Day, on the theme “Local languages for global citizenship: spotlight on science”, shows how languages ensure access to knowledge, its transmission and its plurality. “Contrary to popular wisdom, local languages are perfectly capable of transmitting the most modern scientific knowledge in mathematics, physics, technology, and so on,” said Ms. Bokova in her message. “Recognizing these languages also means opening the door to a great deal of often overlooked traditional scientific knowledge to enrich our overall knowledge base,” she continued, adding that local languages constitute the majority of languages spoken worldwide in the field of science. They are also the most endangered. “Excluding languages means excluding those who speak them from their fundamental human right to scientific knowledge,” Ms. Bokova said, stressing that in today’s “global village” the norm is to use at least three languages, including one local language, one language of wider communication and one international language to communicate at both the local and global levels. “This linguistic and cultural diversity may be our best chance for the future: for creativity, innovation and inclusion. We must not squander it,” she declared. In his message, Secretary-General Ban ki-moon said the theme of the International Day will help ensure that the latest scientific knowledge is more widely shared. “At the same time, it will help deepen and enrich our global knowledge base with more traditional but often overlooked scientific wisdom,” he added. “Let us all join forces to promote linguistic diversity and multilingualism as a key element in our efforts to build a better world and a life of dignity for all,” the UN chief said, adding that language diversity can encourage dialogue, mutual understanding, innovation and creativity. This in turn can help us build more just and inclusive societies. Quoting the late South African leader Nelson Mandela, he said: ‘If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language – that goes to his heart.’ + info: https://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=47189&Cr=UNESCO&Cr1= 2 FUUH’s Newsletter - http://universityandheritage.net The European Commission needs experts Following the publication of the first calls under the new EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, Horizon 2020, the European Commission needs experts to evaluate the first Horizon 2020 proposals, including in the fields of humanities, social sciences and cultural heritage.

Still, there was a specialized bureaucracy which monitored or controlled much of its activity, one of the hallmarks of planned economies. + info: http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/economy/ Ancient Elis - Greece Ancient Elis, the largest city and capital of the homonymous city-state, was built on the north banks of the Peneus River, between the mountainous part of Elis (Akroreia) and its coastal lowlands (Elis Koile). The site was inhabited almost continuously from the beginning of the Middle Palaeolithic (130/120,000) until the end of the Early Byzantine period (seventh century AD), when the city was abandoned. Aetolos Oxylos is considered the city's mythical founder (twelfth-eleventh centuries BC). He allegedly took advantage of the Dorian invasion in order to subordinate the area's early inhabitants and founded the first settlement.

Roman villas expressed a novel architectural language which was developed by designers appropriating the existing stylistic and thematic vocabularies of Hellenistic and Roman architecture. Zarmakoupi seeks to describe and explain the ways in which this architecture accommodated the lifestyle of educated leisure and an appreciation of the Roman landscape, and how, in doing so, it became a cultural phenomenon and a crucial element in the construction of Roman cultural identity… + info: http://global.oup.com/academic/product/designing-for-luxury-on-the-bay-of-naples-9780199678389 Music, Language, and Human Evolution Edited by Nicholas Bannan ISBN: 9780199227341 Year: 2012 Why do human beings make music? No human society has ever existed without music, and people all around the world commit considerable resources, including time, effort, and ingenuity, to musical participation and consumption. Yet until recently archaeology has had little to say about the possible role of music in human evolution. This book examines the potential role of musicality in human evolution and its consequences for human culture. Drawing on a growing body of research in archaeology, anthropology, psychology, and musicology, it illustrates the inter-disciplinary necessity of accounting for the phenomenon of human music-making. + info: http://global.oup.com/academic/product/music-language-and-human-evolution-9780199227341?cc=us&lang=en Painted Caves - Palaeolithic Rock Art in Western Europe By Andrew J. Lawson ISBN: 9780199698226 Year: 2012 Painted Caves, a beautifully illustrated introduction to the oldest art of Western Europe, charts the historical background to the acceptance of a Palaeolithic age for the very ancient paintings found in caves. Offering an up-to-date overview of the geographical distribution of the sites found in southern France and the Iberian Peninsula, and examples known in Britain, Italy, Romania, and Russia, Lawson's expert study is not restricted to the art in caves, but places this art alongside the engravings and sculptures found both on portable objects and on rock faces in the open air. Written from an archaeological perspective, the volume stresses how the individual images cannot be considered in isolation, but should rather be related to their location and other evidence that might provide clues to their significance. Although many scholars have put forward ideas as to the meaning and function of the art, Lawson discusses some of the substantive theories and offers glimpses of his own experience in the field and enduring fascination for the subject… + info: http://global.oup.com/academic/product/painted-caves-9780199698226 Dilemas y realidades de la gestión turística del patrimonio arqueológico en Guatemala Por Laura Velásquez Fergusson Artículo publicado en la Revista Estudios Digital, núm. 1 Year: 2013 Importantes hallazgos sobre la civilización maya producidos durante las investigaciones multidisciplinarias que se llevan a cabo en los sitios arqueológicos de Guatemala, han contribuido a la difusión a nivel nacional e internacional de este patrimonio que, junto al contexto natural y la riqueza socio-cultural local actual, constituye un atractivo con gran potencial para su gestión turística. Aunque continúa discutiéndose acerca del impacto que puede provocar el turismo sobre el patrimonio cultural en general y la población adyacente, es innegable que hoy en día se ha posicionado como una de las actividades económicas más relevantes en el mundo, por lo que debe aprovecharse como un mecanismo para la puesta en valor (investigación, conservación y difusión) de esta riqueza histórica, cuya finalidad primordial es la de establecer un vínculo entre el pasado y el presente, permitiéndole a los miembros de una sociedad comprender sus orígenes y construir una identidad. + info: https://www.academia.edu/6137951 Patrimonio arqueológico y turismo alternativo: la situación de El Mirador y otros sitios arqueológicos en Guatemala Por Laura Velásquez Fergusson Ponencia presentada en "XXI Encuentro Arqueológico del Área Maya" Year: 2013 Actualmente, el elemento cultural ha cobrado un extraordinario auge en la industria turística, enfocado principalmente en el contacto directo con las sociedades actuales y el patrimonio derivado de su historia. Guatemala es parte de ello gracias a cuatro destinos considerados ya tradicionales, no obstante, la riqueza cultural del país es mayor a la que se reconoce, desde lo prehispánico y colonial hasta lo republicano y contemporáneo, constituyendo un vasto y diverso patrimonio arqueológico, cuya adecuada gestión permitiría complementar la oferta turística a la vez que incidiría en su puesta en valor, tal es el caso particular de los sitios en la Cuenca Mirador y otros que están en la misma situación. + info: https://www.academia.edu/5155912 News Agenda Publications http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/01.html[03/03/2014 10:21:36] Biodiversity Biodiversity News Agenda Publications News The Lion in West Africa Is Critically Endangered Henschel P, Coad L, Burton C, Chataigner B, Dunn A, et al. (2014) The African lion has declined to <35,000 individuals occupying 25% of its historic range. The situation is most critical for the geographically isolated populations in West Africa, where the species is considered regionally endangered. Elevating their conservation significance, recent molecular studies establish the genetic distinctiveness of West and Central African lions from other extant African populations. Interventions to save West African lions are urgently required. However formulating effective conservation strategies has been hampered by a lack of data on the species' current distribution, status, and potential management deficiencies of protected areas (PAs) harboring lions. Our study synthesized available expert opinion and field data to close this knowledge gap, and formulate recommendations for the conservation of West African lions… + info: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0083500 Bat populations recovering, according to largest ever European study The EEA report on bats is the most comprehensive study yet made of European bat population trends, studying 16 of the 45 bat species found across the continent. The study is the first to compile data from ten existing monitoring schemes in nine countries, building a prototype European-scale indicator of bat population trends.

Famously described as a “die-cut Venetian palazzo on lollipops” by Ada Louise Huxtable, the New York Times architecture critic at the time, the 10-story poured concrete structure has been a source of consistent controversy and public response since the 1960s. Designed by Edward Durell Stone, an early proponent of American modern architecture, 2 Columbus Circle represents a turning point in his career. Uncharacteristic of Stone’s prior work, his use of ornament on an otherwise modern structure can be seen as an important precedent of the development of the soon-to-emerge Postmodern movement. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/476318/ad-classics-2-columbus-circle-edward-durell-stone-and-associates/ 2014 World Monuments Fund / Knoll Modernism Prize - Deadline: 30 June 2014 World Monuments Fund invites you to submit a nomination for the 2014 World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize.

These definitions often coincide with the attribution of “value” and “identity”. Many answers about what could be “cultural heritage” are explained as a set together with their specific value, such as landscape and architecture of high artistic value and historic materials of scientific value. In contrast it is not possible to rely on this generality of definitions. The reality shows that the definition of value of “cultural heritage” changes in relation to the person, culture, geography, social and economic conditions. In other words, in relation to the person, the standpoint of value of “cultural heritage” is different according to each category, such as ruins, works of art, historic cities and gardens, and it is rare that one category simultaneously holds many of such values… + info: http://www.academia.edu/5784085/Inheritance_and_Identity_of_Cultural_Heritage Posted by FUUH member: Niglio, Olimpia (Italia / Italy / Italie) La modernidad ignorada REVISTA CIUDADES, Nº 100 México: Red de Investigación Urbana AC, 2014 ISSN 0187-8611 Year: 2014 CIUDADES es una revista trimestral monotemática y los temas se seleccionan en relación al debate que actualmente se está desarrollando respecto al territorio y que son importantes para nuestro país (lo cual puede ser abordado en la coyuntura pero, igualmente, de manera histórica).

Even if they are considered as special events – something rarely happening – emergencies are, in many cases, an everyday reality around the globe : from natural to man-made disasters, architecture must face a broad variety of emergency circumstances. Can we speak about “architecture” at a given historical moment or in certain geographic areas? Which is the role and the status of architecture during the disaster – shelter, appropriation for other uses –, and after the emergency – in the reconstruction of the city or a part of it, in the reorganization of the community for the future in the short and long term? How do architects react to situations like: destruction – physical and/or of the memory –, presence of ruins, restoration and reconstruction, and how does all that interacts with human perception of the environment? Contributions on any aspect of these topics, on which we wish to open a wide interdisciplinary debate, are encouraged. All kinds of approaches to this topic are welcomed, and papers can be case studies oriented, or methodological and/or theoretical in focus. + info: http://gallery.mailchimp.com/c482a7ec37adcb2a7bea6b090/files/Bc4p72014.pdf 50 años del Instituto de las Investigaciones Estéticas hoy Instituto Carlos Avelaes Camacho para el patrimonio arquitectónico y urbano de Bogotá Revista Gremiun nº 1 Restauro Compás y Canto S.A. de C.V., México D.F.

Fort Nassau was constructed during a 1613 trading expedition for the Amsterdam Van Tweenhysen Company, commanded by Captain Adriaen Block.

Nous sommes nombreux à nous investir dans sa découverte, sa protection, sa mise en valeur. Patrimòni a été créé le 1° mars 2006. Il se veut un journal d’expression des acteurs du patrimoine aveyronnais : associations, particuliers, collectivités…, un "lieu" de rencontre entre eux et un journal d’informations pour tous. Pour respecter un environnement il faut le connaître. Connaître ses racines est important pour soi-même, mais, aussi, pour pouvoir s’ouvrir à l’autre. Le patrimoine c’est bien sûr l’histoire, l’architecture, la faune, la flore, la langue..., mais aussi les recettes traditionnelles, les métiers anciens, les légumes oubliés... Ses pages sont ouvertes à tous ces patrimoines. L’Aveyron est un grand département riche de ses différents "pays", Patrimòni les fait "communiquer". Ce journal est un outil entre vos mains, faites-le vivre, il a besoin de vous, de vos articles, de vos informations. Ensemble prenons soin de notre héritage afin de le transmettre aux générations futures. http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/06.html[03/03/2014 10:21:46] Cultural Heritage + info: http://patrimoni.macarel.net/ Posted by FUUH member: Verdié, Bernard (Francia / France / France) Inheritance and identity of Cultural Heritage Article in Advances in Literary Study ISSN Print: 2327-4034 http://www.scirp.org/journal/ALS/ Year: 2014 Generally the community describe the “cultural heritage” such as historic, artistic, scientific and traditional. These definitions often coincide with the attribution of “value” and “identity”. Many answers about what could be “cultural heritage” are explained as a set together with their specific value, such as landscape and architecture of high artistic value and historic materials of scientific value. In contrast it is not possible to rely on this generality of definitions. The reality shows that the definition of value of “cultural heritage” changes in relation to the person, culture, geography, social and economic conditions. In other words, in relation to the person, the standpoint of value of “cultural heritage” is different according to each category, such as ruins, works of art, historic cities and gardens, and it is rare that one category simultaneously holds many of such values… + info: http://www.academia.edu/5784085/Inheritance_and_Identity_of_Cultural_Heritage Posted by FUUH member: Niglio, Olimpia (Italia / Italy / Italie) Inheritance and Identity of Cultural Heritage Niglio, Olimpia Advances in Literary Study 2014. Vol.2, No.1, 1-4 Published Online January 2014 in SciRes (http://www.scirp.org/journal/als) Year: 2014 Generally the community describes the “cultural heritage” such as historic, artistic, scientific and tradi-tional. These definitions often coincide with the attribution of “value” and “identity”. Many answers about what could “cultural heritage” be are explained as a set together with their specific value, such as landscape and architecture of high artistic value and historic materials of scientific value. In contrast it is not possible to rely on this generality of definitions. The reality shows that the definition of value of “cul-tural heritage” changes in relation to the person, culture, geography, social and economic conditions. In other words, in relation to the person, the standpoint of value of “cultural heritage” is different according to each category, such as ruins, works of art, historic cities and gardens, and it is rare that one category simultaneously holds many of such values. It is believed that there are no words or phrases that compre-hensively explain the various values that prescribe “cultural heritage”. Therefore in defining “cultural heritage” its values not must be specifically expressed as historic, artistic, scientific and others, but should be left in a way that can correspond also to the concept of a “cultural heritage” the significance of identity and of inheritance. Define the value of cultural heritage means to analyze the identity of the site and its contents of inheritance. The concepts of value and inheritance analyzed here are not related to economic considerations. Differently these concepts are analyzed with reference to scientific theories of A. K. Sen, M. W. Feldman and L. Cavalli-Sforza. In fact this paper proposes a reflection on these concepts with the support of interdisciplinary studies.

That is why I will shortly describe the history of the site, to focus later on interesting problems which confront us, such as heritage sites as tram and/or car cemeteries. I refer also to cinema, where issues often discussed by archaeologists, like ruins, material culture, heritage in becoming, etc. are staged in such a way that is worthy of closer attention. + info: https://www.academia.edu/4964666/A_World_in_Decay_-_a_Case_of_Tram_Cemetery_in_Wroclaw_Poland_ Harmonization of World Heritage Tentative Lists in North and East Africa, Proceedings of Twin Workshops, Cairo (Egypt) March and May 2010 Editor: Prof. Samir Ghabbour Publisher: Egyptian National UNESCO Commission, Ministry of Higher Education Year: 2013 In the words of Mr. Webber Ndoro, Director of the African World Heritage Fund, these twin workshops organized by the Egyptian UNESCO Commission, should provide an opportunity for African countries to participate in the nomination of more sites for inclusion on the WH List and to improve chances of success of nomination files of these sites and strengthen the efforts of heritage conservation and good management. They stress the necessity of activating the role of civil society in conservation programmes and awareness raising. They also stress the great importance of heritage management in the support of sustainable development and the eradication of poverty. Furthermore he pointed out that the world heritage status could greatly contribute in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The vision and mission are in identifying heritage sites that must be placed on the WH List. The key obligations are: 1. Complete and even add to the work of the World Heritage Committee. 2. Develop a workplan period of ten years to ensure capacity building in African heritage. 3. Strategic planning for the next three years focusing on the preliminary support for conservation and management of sites and for the process of rehabilitation of these sites. + info: http://www.catedraunescoforum.upv.es/doc/WH_AfroTLsHarmon_En2013.pdf Posted by FUUH member: Samir, Ghabbour (Egipto / Egypt / Egypte) Abierto el plazo de envío de artículos para la revista EARI No 5 - hasta el 31 mayo Editor: Institut Universitari de Creativitat i Innovacions Educatives Universitat de València ISSN: 1695-8403 / e-ISSN: 2254-7592 Year: 2014 La revista EARI Educación Artística Revista de Investigación, editada por el Instituto de Creatividad e Innovaciones Educativas de la Universitat de València, es una publicación de periodicidad anual, dirigida a especialistas, investigadores y profesionales del campo de la educación artística, el arte y la creatividad.

Aunque continúa discutiéndose acerca del impacto que puede provocar el turismo sobre el patrimonio cultural en general y la población adyacente, es innegable que hoy en día se ha posicionado como una de las actividades económicas más relevantes en el mundo, por lo que debe aprovecharse como un mecanismo para la puesta en valor (investigación, conservación y difusión) de esta riqueza histórica, cuya finalidad primordial es la de establecer un vínculo entre el pasado y el presente, permitiéndole a los miembros de una sociedad comprender sus orígenes y construir una identidad. + info: https://www.academia.edu/6137951 Patrimonio arqueológico y turismo alternativo: la situación de El Mirador y otros sitios arqueológicos en Guatemala Por Laura Velásquez Fergusson Ponencia presentada en "XXI Encuentro Arqueológico del Área Maya" Year: 2013 Actualmente, el elemento cultural ha cobrado un extraordinario auge en la industria turística, enfocado principalmente en el contacto directo con las sociedades actuales y el patrimonio derivado de su historia. Guatemala es parte de ello gracias a cuatro destinos considerados ya tradicionales, no obstante, la riqueza cultural del país es mayor a la que se reconoce, desde lo prehispánico y colonial hasta lo republicano y contemporáneo, constituyendo un vasto y diverso patrimonio arqueológico, cuya adecuada gestión permitiría complementar la oferta turística a la vez que incidiría en su puesta en valor, tal es el caso particular de los sitios en la Cuenca Mirador y otros que están en la misma situación. + info: https://www.academia.edu/5155912 Reports of proceedings of a Conference (28 Nov 2013) and a Workshop (21 Dec 2013) held in Cairo on the Future of African World Heritage.

Eight American Institute of Architect's Gold Medal winners have designed buildings here. There are also numerous landscapes—corporate, institutional, and public landscapes, as well as two private residential landscapes—by Dan Kiley. Sadly, several of those have since been lost due to the cost of maintenance and other factors. In the late 1980s I studied landscape architecture at Cornell University, where the faculty were great Kiley enthusiasts. In one class we even studied his Hamilton House landscape in Columbus. I returned to Columbus and work here now as a licensed Landscape Architect. I also volunteer with environmental and Scout groups, and am past president of the Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society… + info: http://tclf.org/stewards/art-hopkins The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley - Washington, DC - USA In conjunction with the 2013 Landslide® the National Building Museum will host the Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley, a traveling photographic exhibition celebrating the life and career of Dan Kiley, one of the most important and influential Modernist landscape architects of the 20th century.

The rectangular, open-air courtyard was set on two levels and paved in long, rectilinear slabs of Vermont marble. The western, upper platform comprised a dining terrace shaded by a line of eight hornbeams. The lower terrace, sunken two-feet below grade, was incised by two water channels spanned by marble platforms and planted with cryptomeria and birch trees, which helped break up the space and control visibility of the sculpture placed throughout the garden. An 18-foot high, gray brick wall with climbing ivy formed the garden’s north edge, screening it from West 54th Street. Under Johnson’s aegis the garden was enlarged to the east in 1964, at which time landscape architects Zion & Breen unified the planting scheme by replacing the cryptomerias with weeping beeches and planting additional weeping birch trees to echo an existing cluster of trees in the west end… + info: http://tclf.org/landscapes/museum-modern-art-sculpture-garden The letters of botanist Joseph Hooker are now online Virginia Mills describes our new online collection of Joseph Hooker's Correspondence in which you can explore Hooker's letters from India and the high Himalayas, and look at some of his expedition collections and the plant-hunting paraphernalia held here at Kew.

Roman villas expressed a novel architectural language which was developed by designers appropriating the existing stylistic and thematic vocabularies of Hellenistic and Roman architecture.

Fort Nassau was constructed during a 1613 trading expedition for the Amsterdam Van Tweenhysen Company, commanded by Captain Adriaen Block.

For that purpose, it presents a security model plan that the institutions should commit to implement and it can be adjusted and used by other cultural institutions, such as archives, museums and documentation centers.

Even if they are considered as special events – something rarely happening – emergencies are, in many cases, an everyday reality around the globe : from natural to man-made disasters, architecture must face a broad variety of emergency circumstances. Can we speak about “architecture” at a given historical moment or in certain geographic areas? Which is the role and the status of architecture during the disaster – shelter, appropriation for other uses –, and after the emergency – in the reconstruction of the city or a part of it, in the reorganization of the community for the future in the short and long term? How do architects react to situations like: destruction – physical and/or of the memory –, presence of ruins, restoration and reconstruction, and how does all that interacts with human perception of the environment? Contributions on any aspect of these topics, on which we wish to open a wide interdisciplinary debate, are encouraged. All kinds of approaches to this topic are welcomed, and papers can be case studies oriented, or methodological and/or theoretical in focus. + info: http://gallery.mailchimp.com/c482a7ec37adcb2a7bea6b090/files/Bc4p72014.pdf News Agenda Publications Go to the top http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/09A.html[03/03/2014 10:21:57] Documentary/Audiovisual Heritage & Archives Documentary/Audiovisual Heritage & Archives News Agenda Publications News The letters of botanist Joseph Hooker are now online Virginia Mills describes our new online collection of Joseph Hooker's Correspondence in which you can explore Hooker's letters from India and the high Himalayas, and look at some of his expedition collections and the plant-hunting paraphernalia held here at Kew.

ISBN. 978-84-9704-696-1 Year: 2013 The growing trickle of unfortunate events, many times intentioned, on certain documentary collections generated missing and destruction of heritage, sometimes unique and irreparable. Reading the book provides alternatives and solutions through the implementation of programs adapted to the needs of each institution. For that purpose, it presents a security model plan that the institutions should commit to implement and it can be adjusted and used by other cultural institutions, such as archives, museums and documentation centers. The monograph is divided into five chapters: i. Elements to be protected. ii. General security systems. iii. Bibliographic heritage protection. iv. Security plan for document. v. Electronic documents security. The prologuist of the book, Arsenio Sánchez Hernampérez, National Library of Spain, confirms the need to protect the documentary heritage, increasingly ephemeral, fragile and wanted. + info: http://www.trea.es/ficha.php?idLibro=00001285 Posted by FUUH member: Prieto Gutiérrez, Juan José (España / Spain / Espagne) Hungarian lowland in the first half of the 19th century: The autobiography of Varga József in poetry Edited by Maria Bostenaru Dan ISBN: 9783954044580 Year: 2013 Through this work we publish in edited mode a 19th century manuscript. The manuscript is a poetry piece, about 90 pages. The manuscript describes mainly the peasant life. At the end of each part there are so-called „songs”. Characteristic for the manuscript is the description of the participation in the 1848 revolution, on horseback, which the author liked. Varga József, my ancestor, was born in 1813, so it is timely to publich this year, at the 200th anniversary, this manuscript. The history about it talks happened in the vicinity of Kiskunfélegyháza city, in a locality where the author lived most of his life (Galambos farm). In the introduction we talk about the family history as well as about the history of the city. The poetry itself is available in original, in transcription according to today’s grammar as well as in English, opposite to the scanned manuscript. In the preface a link to the audio-visual youtube version is mentioned. The book has been submitted to the Ithaka programme to bring Hungarian immaterial movable heritage to archives and museums. + info: https://cuvillier.de/de/shop/publications/6427-hungarian-lowland-in-the-first-half-of-the-19th-century-the-autobiography-of-varga-jozsefin-poetry Posted by FUUH member: Bostenaru Dan, Maria.

These technologies are disseminated through training courses, seminars, workshops, manuals and documents. The Institute is also offering various services, and provides consultancy within and outside India. The emphasis is focused on the research and development of earth based technologies and their dissemination through training courses. The most promoted technology today is Compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB). One of the aims of the Auroville Earth Institute is to give people the possibility to create and build for themselves their own habitat, while using earth techniques. + info: http://www.earth-auroville.com/maintenance/uploaded_pics/2014-01-avei-newsletter.pdf World Heritage Earthen Architecture Programme (WHEAP) Earthen architecture is one of the most original and powerful expressions of our ability to create a built environment with readily available resources. It includes a great variety of structures, ranging from mosques, palaces and granaries, to historic city centres, cultural landscapes and archaeological sites. Its cultural importance throughout the world is evident and has led to its consideration as a common heritage of humankind, therefore deserving protection and conservation by the international community. In 2011, over 10% of the World Heritage properties incorporate earthen structures. The availability and economic quality of the material mean it bears great potential to contribute to poverty alleviation and sustainable development. + info: http://whc.unesco.org/en/earthen-architecture/ EarthArchitecture.org EarthArchitecture.org began February 22, 2003 as the online research of Ronald Rael—an architect and Assistant Professor at the University of California Berkeley.

And while the vast legacy of traditional and vernacular earthen construction has been widely discussed, little attention has been paid to the contemporary tradition of earth architecture. Author Ronald Rael, founder of Eartharchitecture.org provides a history of building with earth in the modern era, focusing particularly on projects constructed in the last few decades that use rammed earth, mud brick, compressed earth, cob, and several other interesting techniques.

They stress the necessity of activating the role of civil society in conservation programmes and awareness raising. They also stress the great importance of heritage management in the support of sustainable development and the eradication of poverty. Furthermore he pointed out that the world heritage status could greatly contribute in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The vision and mission are in identifying heritage sites that must be placed on the WH List. The key obligations are: 1. Complete and even add to the work of the World Heritage Committee. 2. Develop a workplan period of ten years to ensure capacity building in African heritage. 3.

Shockingly, the number was about 60,000 as recent as a decade ago. Many experts estimate orangutans could be extinct in the wild in less than 25 years. As shocking as the rapid loss of rainforests has been over these past few decades, nothing compares to the amount of land being bulldozed by palm oil plantations in the 21st century. Each palm plantation that destroys thousands of hectares in the pursuit of massive profits also takes with it the lives of many orangutans… + info: http://www.orangutan.com/threats-to-orangutans/ Agenda Publications News Agenda Publications Go to the top http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/13.html[03/03/2014 10:22:04] Genealogy & Heraldry Genealogy & Heraldry News Agenda Publications News Agenda Publications News Agenda Publications Go to the top http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/14.html[03/03/2014 10:22:05] Geological Heritage Geological Heritage News Agenda Publications News Une nouvelle méthodologie qui combine les données spatiales et terrestres pour mieux comprendre les volcans L'utilisation conjointe de données satellitaires et de mesures au sol permet de mettre en évidence les possibles remontées de magma avant la reprise de l'activité éruptive de l'Etna .

They stress the necessity of activating the role of civil society in conservation programmes and awareness raising. They also stress the great importance of heritage management in the support of sustainable development and the eradication of poverty. Furthermore he pointed out that the world heritage status could greatly contribute in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The vision and mission are in identifying heritage sites that must be placed on the WH List. The key obligations are: 1. Complete and even add to the work of the World Heritage Committee. 2. Develop a workplan period of ten years to ensure capacity building in African heritage. 3.

Even if they are considered as special events – something rarely happening – emergencies are, in many cases, an everyday reality around the globe : from natural to man-made disasters, architecture must face a broad variety of emergency circumstances. Can we speak about “architecture” at a given historical moment or in certain geographic areas? Which is the role and the status of architecture during the disaster – shelter, appropriation for other uses –, and after the emergency – in the reconstruction of the city or a part of it, in the reorganization of the community for the future in the short and long term? How do architects react to situations like: destruction – physical and/or of the memory –, presence of ruins, restoration and reconstruction, and how does all that interacts with human perception of the environment? Contributions on any aspect of these topics, on which we wish to open a wide interdisciplinary debate, are encouraged. All kinds of approaches to this topic are welcomed, and papers can be case studies oriented, or methodological and/or theoretical in focus. + info: http://gallery.mailchimp.com/c482a7ec37adcb2a7bea6b090/files/Bc4p72014.pdf News Agenda Publications Go to the top http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/15A.html[03/03/2014 10:22:07] Heritage Economics Heritage Economics News Agenda Publications News Mutual Cultural Heritage Newsletter December 2013 1 January 2013 marked the start of DutchCulture, centre for international cooperation.

It was purported to have minimal impact on the natural environment, cultural resources, and indigenous communities while simultaneously it provided economic benefit to local economies. Whereas ecotourism can and does achieve many of these benefits, which are not mutually exclusive, it is not without its faults because research has shown that even the low-impact approach of ecotourism can still inflict changes. These changes include physical impacts by visitors to natural resources such as erosion on trail surfaces, disturbance of fragile cultural resources, disruption and/or displacement of wildlife from their habitat, and social changes to local indigenous cultures. That said, ecotourism is not necessarily a bad thing. It does provide a means for local cultures to take advantage of interest in local resources by outside visitors; much of the revenue associated with ecotourism remains at the point of designation. + info: http://www.academia.edu/5748204/Book_The_Micro_Geopolitics_of_Ecotourism_Competing_Discourses_in_New_Zealand_and_Brazil Patrimonio arqueológico y turismo alternativo: la situación de El Mirador y otros sitios arqueológicos en Guatemala Por Laura Velásquez Fergusson Ponencia presentada en "XXI Encuentro Arqueológico del Área Maya" Year: 2013 Actualmente, el elemento cultural ha cobrado un extraordinario auge en la industria turística, enfocado principalmente en el contacto directo con las sociedades actuales y el patrimonio derivado de su historia.

Aunque continúa discutiéndose acerca del impacto que puede provocar el turismo sobre el patrimonio cultural en general y la población adyacente, es innegable que hoy en día se ha posicionado como una de las actividades económicas más relevantes en el mundo, por lo que debe aprovecharse como un mecanismo para la puesta en valor (investigación, conservación y difusión) de esta riqueza histórica, cuya finalidad primordial es la de establecer un vínculo entre el pasado y el presente, permitiéndole a los miembros de una sociedad comprender sus orígenes y construir una identidad. + info: https://www.academia.edu/6137951 Boletin HORIZONTES - Edicion conmemorativa Noviembre 2013 Congreso Mundila OPCM, 18-22 de noviembre de 2013 EDITORIAL: Arq.

Il montre d’abord que face à leur traditionnelle appréhension juridique fragmentaire, ignorante des interactions unissant leurs multiples composantes, divers instruments de droit public (la domanialité publique fluviale, la police ou les servitudes administratives) ont été mobilisés afin de restaurer en droit l’unité écologique des cours d’eau et d’améliorer leur protection. Un cadre territorial adapté à l’hydrosystème fluvial a ainsi été recherché dans le recours à la technique des réseaux ou aux territoires hydrographiques.

The objective of this project has been to use and validate augmented reality (AR) as a tool to increase the accessibility to the architectural elements of this monumental setting. The AR application aims to resolve the perception issues derived from poor lighting, the distance in relation to the multiple details, access, etc. 145 individuals of different ages and diverse origin, making the visit to the monument with or without guide used the AR application. When visitors had used the application as they wished, interviews were conducted individually in order to receive their feedback about the AR experience. Users enjoyed identifying and selecting the motifs they were going to visualize with the AR tool.

It is one the first buildings built in Spain to regulate and house the sale of perishable products, until then in the hands of street vendors. It is a contemporary of the Encarnación market in Seville and the Puerto Real market, and previous to the markets that were built in Madrid, Barcelona and Santander after 1840. The building is a transition between the open square and what later would be covered market squares. With that massive inner structure that alienated the original architecture and hid its values, it was difficult to distinguish the two periods. After going up to the roof, all doubts were cleared upon seeing four splendid doors, one in each facade, imperceptible from the street level, in a building overturned to the interior. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/469110/mercado-central-de-cadiz-rehabilitacion-y-ampliacion-carlos-de-riano-lozano/ Concours - Modalités de candidature au Prix SF2A HP-AMD - Dare limite : 3 mars 2014 La SF2A poursuit sa tradition, établie depuis 1986, d’attribuer un Prix qui récompense chaque année un(e) jeune chercheur(se) âgé(e) de 36 ans au plus, reconnu(e) internationalement, dont les travaux scientifiques ont été remarqués pour leur qualité et leur originalité et dont l’implication au service de la communauté astronomique est reconnue de tous.

The manuscript is a poetry piece, about 90 pages. The manuscript describes mainly the peasant life. At the end of each part there are so-called „songs”. Characteristic for the manuscript is the description of the participation in the 1848 revolution, on horseback, which the author liked. Varga József, my ancestor, was born in 1813, so it is timely to publich this year, at the 200th anniversary, this manuscript. The history about it talks happened in the vicinity of Kiskunfélegyháza city, in a locality where the author lived most of his life (Galambos farm). In the introduction we talk about the family history as well as about the history of the city. The poetry itself is available in original, in transcription according to today’s grammar as well as in English, opposite to the scanned manuscript. In the preface a link to the audio-visual youtube version is mentioned.

For decades, Wright was seen as the prophet of America’s post-World War II suburban sprawl, yet the cities he imagined were also carefully planned, and very different from the disorganized landscapes that were often developed instead. Paradoxically, Wright was also a lifelong prophet of the race for height (think skyscrapers) that played, and continues to play, out around the world. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/472031/a-master-architect-s-surprising-obsession/ AD Classics: 2 Columbus Circle / Edward Durell Stone & Associates - 1964 - New York City - New York State USA Located on a small and irregular shaped island at Columbus Circle, one of the busiest intersections in Manhattan, lies 2 Columbus Circle, formerly known as the Gallery of Modern Art. Famously described as a “die-cut Venetian palazzo on lollipops” by Ada Louise Huxtable, the New York Times architecture critic at the time, the 10-story poured concrete structure has been a source of consistent controversy and public response since the 1960s. Designed by Edward Durell Stone, an early proponent of American modern architecture, 2 Columbus Circle represents a turning point in his career. Uncharacteristic of Stone’s prior work, his use of ornament on an otherwise modern structure can be seen as an important precedent of the development of the soon-to-emerge Postmodern movement. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/476318/ad-classics-2-columbus-circle-edward-durell-stone-and-associates/ Maison de la Batellerie / Jean-Baptiste Lacoudre Architecture - 2012 - Paris - France From the architect.

Their heritage lies partly in depots of European institutions and is often poorly preserved in the source countries. Inspired by a post-colonial discourse in the “90 many disputes over heritage matters ultimately ended up before court. This rarely resulted in a constructive outcome. Rather than seeking pragmatic alternatives which could offer solutions for both parties, matters are stuck in timely legal matters over ownership and endless polemics between nation states, institutions and indigenous peoples. In the current millennium Ethnographic Museums have been trying to develop a Postcolonial Practice. This practice is rooted in Foucault, Said, Spivak and Latour who developed this postcolonial discourse. Postcolonial practices consist of a search for a pragmatic approach to achieve constructive results for all stakeholders, which offer more than a one-dimensional view of the exotic other. + info: http://framerframed.nl/en/dossier/naar-een-postkoloniale-praktijk-voor-volkenkundige-musea/#! META-MUSEUM: CHINESE EXPORT SILVER - Standing on Ceremony Chinese culture is so enriched with allegorical imagery that one could almost say it is its very foundation.

ISBN. 978-84-9704-696-1 Year: 2013 The growing trickle of unfortunate events, many times intentioned, on certain documentary collections generated missing and destruction of heritage, sometimes unique and irreparable. Reading the book provides alternatives and solutions through the implementation of programs adapted to the needs of each institution. For that purpose, it presents a security model plan that the institutions should commit to implement and it can be adjusted and used by other cultural institutions, such as archives, museums and documentation centers. The monograph is divided into five chapters: i. Elements to be protected. ii. General security systems. iii. Bibliographic heritage protection. iv. Security plan for document. v. Electronic documents security. The prologuist of the book, Arsenio Sánchez Hernampérez, National Library of Spain, confirms the need to protect the documentary heritage, increasingly ephemeral, fragile and wanted. + info: http://www.trea.es/ficha.php?idLibro=00001285 Posted by FUUH member: Prieto Gutiérrez, Juan José (España / Spain / Espagne) News Agenda Publications Go to the top http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/25.html[03/03/2014 10:22:36] Natural Heritage & Environment Natural Heritage & Environment News Agenda Publications News The Spanish Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Environment, and the MAB Programme officially certified three new Spanish biosphere reserves On 5 February 2014 the Minister of Agriculture, Food and the Environment of Spain, Miguel Arias Cañete, presided over a ceremony, held in Madrid, at which the Man and the Biosphere programme granted official certification to three new Spanish biosphere reserves: Terras de l’Ebre, Real Sitio de San Ildefonso–El Espinar, and Marinas Coruñesas and Terras de Mandaean.

Shockingly, the number was about 60,000 as recent as a decade ago. Many experts estimate orangutans could be extinct in the wild in less than 25 years. As shocking as the rapid loss of rainforests has been over these past few decades, nothing compares to the amount of land being bulldozed by palm oil plantations in the 21st century. Each palm plantation that destroys thousands of hectares in the pursuit of massive profits also takes with it the lives of many orangutans… + info: http://www.orangutan.com/threats-to-orangutans/ How we all kill whales By Michael Moore Oxford University Press My first job after veterinary school in 1983 was for the International Whaling Commission examining the efficacy of explosive harpoons for killing fin whales on an Icelandic whaling vessel. Later, I encountered a very different way of killing whales. A North Atlantic right whale was first sighted entangled in fishing gear in May of 1999. Five months later it was dead off Cape May, New Jersey. The entangling rope and gillnet, bound around both armpits, and tightly stretched over its back, had dissected off the blubber leaving a massive wound (below) while it was still alive… + info: http://blog.oup.com/2014/02/how-we-all-kill-whales/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=oupblog Agenda 2014 International Conference on UNESCO Conventions "Using natural and cultural heritage in sustainable development" 24 - 26 March 2014 Bergen.

They stress the necessity of activating the role of civil society in conservation programmes and awareness raising. They also stress the great importance of heritage management in the support of sustainable development and the eradication of poverty. Furthermore he pointed out that the world heritage status could greatly contribute in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The vision and mission are in identifying heritage sites that must be placed on the WH List. The key obligations are: 1. Complete and even add to the work of the World Heritage Committee. 2. Develop a workplan period of ten years to ensure capacity building in African heritage. 3. Strategic planning for the next three years focusing on the preliminary support for conservation and management of sites and for the process of rehabilitation of these sites. + info: http://www.catedraunescoforum.upv.es/doc/WH_AfroTLsHarmon_En2013.pdf Posted by FUUH member: Samir, Ghabbour (Egipto / Egypt / Egypte) Reports of proceedings of a Conference (28 Nov 2013) and a Workshop (21 Dec 2013) held in Cairo on the Future of African World Heritage.

However, there has not been a systematic study of the effect of these treatments on the surface of the metal and its resistance to re-tarnishing after treatment. Under the CREMEL project (funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness), the effect of different cleaning methods (electrochemical, chemical and mechanical) will be evaluated. Cleaning treatments will be carried out by professional conservators-restorers, on both metal coupons and real objects, and will be evaluated using surface characterization techniques (atomic force microscopy, AFM; scanning electron microscopy, SEM; and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS) and the corrosion rate and base metal removed by different treatments will be measured gravimetric techniques. + info: http://www.proyectocremel.es/metal2013/#!

The objectives are to promote international cooperation in the field of knowledge and conservation of Historic Timber Frames, providing a multidisciplinary forum to exchange ideas and experience; coordinating existing studies; promoting further research activities; promoting training programmes. The activities may include the organization of scientific conferences, workshops, technical visits, training school and in general initiatives to gather and disseminate knowledge about Historic Timber Frames in Seismic Zones. + info: http://historictimberframesinseismiczones.blogspot.it/ Cleaning of Acrylic Painted Surfaces Works of art, both two- and three-dimensional, made with modern acrylic paints can present difficult technical problems for conservators if a cleaning treatment is necessary. Because of the physical properties and composition of acrylic paints, dirt or grime can become tenaciously adhered to the surface. Most artists' acrylic paints, even when dried and aged, can be very sensitive to aqueous cleaning solutions, while non-polar organic solvents are often lacking in cleaning efficacy. In addition, there are a number of areas of uncertainty in the field related to the degree and significance of the effect of cleaning treatments on the original paint components. + info: http://www.getty.edu/conservation/our_projects/education/caps/ Máster on-line de Diagnóstico del Estado de Conservación del Patrimonio Histórico de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide de Sevilla (España) Fecha límite de inscripción: Extranjeros hasta el 7 de marzo.

These definitions often coincide with the attribution of “value” and “identity”. Many answers about what could be “cultural heritage” are explained as a set together with their specific value, such as landscape and architecture of high artistic value and historic materials of scientific value. In contrast it is not possible to rely on this generality of definitions. The reality shows that the definition of value of “cultural heritage” changes in relation to the person, culture, geography, social and economic conditions. In other words, in relation to the person, the standpoint of value of “cultural heritage” is different according to each category, such as ruins, works of art, historic cities and gardens, and it is rare that one category simultaneously holds many of such values… + info: http://www.academia.edu/5784085/Inheritance_and_Identity_of_Cultural_Heritage Posted by FUUH member: Niglio, Olimpia (Italia / Italy / Italie) News Agenda Publications Go to the top http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/28.html[03/03/2014 10:22:43] Rock art and Prehistoric Heritage Rock art and Prehistoric Heritage News Agenda Publications News Archaeologists find Sweden's largest Iron Age monument in a pre-Christian religious site Swedish archaeologists said Friday they have discovered the country's largest Iron Age monument in Old Uppsala, a pre-Christian religious site in central Sweden.

Argentina Publications Painted Caves - Palaeolithic Rock Art in Western Europe By Andrew J. Lawson ISBN: 9780199698226 Year: 2012 Painted Caves, a beautifully illustrated introduction to the oldest art of Western Europe, charts the historical background to the acceptance of a Palaeolithic age for the very ancient paintings found in caves. Offering an up-to-date overview of the geographical distribution of the sites found in southern France and the Iberian Peninsula, and examples known in Britain, Italy, Romania, and Russia, Lawson's expert study is not restricted to the art in caves, but places this art alongside the engravings and sculptures found both on portable objects and on rock faces in the open air. Written from an archaeological perspective, the volume stresses how the individual images cannot be considered in isolation, but should rather be related to their location and other evidence that might provide clues to their significance. Although many scholars have put forward ideas as to the meaning and function of the art, Lawson discusses some of the substantive theories and offers glimpses of his own experience in the field and enduring fascination for the subject… + info: http://global.oup.com/academic/product/painted-caves-9780199698226 News Agenda Publications Go to the top http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/29.html[03/03/2014 10:22:46] Tourism: Heritage Managing & Ecotourism Tourism: Heritage Managing & Ecotourism News Agenda Publications News A Photographer’s Journey Through Zumthor Valley Our friend and architectural photographer Felipe Camus recently embarked on an architectural pilgrimage to the valley of the Rhein.

In this respect, today we can witness a growing demand for trips, hotels and means of transport that take environmental factors into account, with an increasing number of travellers refusing to entrust their trips to brands and companies that are unable to provide any guarantees in this respect.

Early on, ecotourism was held in a highly favorable light as being the ideal alternative to mass tourism. It was purported to have minimal impact on the natural environment, cultural resources, and indigenous communities while simultaneously it provided economic benefit to local economies. Whereas ecotourism can and does achieve many of these benefits, which are not mutually exclusive, it is not without its faults because research has shown that even the low-impact approach of ecotourism can still inflict changes. These changes include physical impacts by visitors to natural resources such as erosion on trail surfaces, disturbance of fragile cultural resources, disruption and/or displacement of wildlife from their habitat, and social changes to local indigenous cultures. That said, ecotourism is not necessarily a bad thing. It does provide a means for local cultures to take advantage of interest in local resources by outside visitors; much of the revenue associated with ecotourism remains at the point of designation. + info: http://www.academia.edu/5748204/Book_The_Micro_Geopolitics_of_Ecotourism_Competing_Discourses_in_New_Zealand_and_Brazil Harmonization of World Heritage Tentative Lists in North and East Africa, Proceedings of Twin Workshops, Cairo (Egypt) March and May 2010 Editor: Prof. Samir Ghabbour Publisher: Egyptian National UNESCO Commission, Ministry of Higher Education Year: 2013 In the words of Mr. Webber Ndoro, Director of the African World Heritage Fund, these twin workshops organized by the Egyptian UNESCO Commission, should provide an opportunity for African countries to participate in the nomination of more sites for inclusion on the WH List and to improve chances of success of nomination files of these sites and strengthen the efforts of heritage conservation and good management. They stress the necessity of activating the role of civil society in conservation programmes and awareness raising. They also stress the great importance of heritage management in the support of sustainable development and the eradication of poverty. Furthermore he pointed out that the world heritage status could greatly contribute in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The vision and mission are in identifying heritage sites that must be placed on the WH List. The key obligations are: 1. Complete and even add to the work of the World Heritage Committee. 2. Develop a workplan period of ten years to ensure capacity building in African heritage. 3. Strategic planning for the next three years focusing on the preliminary support for conservation and management of sites and for the process of rehabilitation of these sites. + info: http://www.catedraunescoforum.upv.es/doc/WH_AfroTLsHarmon_En2013.pdf Posted by FUUH member: Samir, Ghabbour (Egipto / Egypt / Egypte) Dilemas y realidades de la gestión turística del patrimonio arqueológico en Guatemala Por Laura Velásquez Fergusson Artículo publicado en la Revista Estudios Digital, núm. 1 Year: 2013 Importantes hallazgos sobre la civilización maya producidos durante las investigaciones multidisciplinarias que se llevan a cabo en los sitios arqueológicos de Guatemala, han contribuido a la difusión a nivel nacional e internacional de este patrimonio que, junto al contexto natural y la riqueza socio-cultural local actual, constituye un atractivo con gran potencial para su gestión turística. Aunque continúa discutiéndose acerca del impacto que puede provocar el turismo sobre el patrimonio cultural en general y la población adyacente, es innegable que hoy en día se ha posicionado como una de las actividades económicas más relevantes en el mundo, por lo que debe aprovecharse como un mecanismo para la puesta en valor (investigación, conservación y difusión) de esta riqueza histórica, cuya finalidad primordial es la de establecer un vínculo entre el pasado y el presente, permitiéndole a los miembros de una sociedad comprender sus orígenes y construir una identidad. + info: https://www.academia.edu/6137951 Patrimonio arqueológico y turismo alternativo: la situación de El Mirador y otros sitios arqueológicos en Guatemala Por Laura Velásquez Fergusson Ponencia presentada en "XXI Encuentro Arqueológico del Área Maya" Year: 2013 Actualmente, el elemento cultural ha cobrado un extraordinario auge en la industria turística, enfocado principalmente en el contacto directo con las sociedades actuales y el patrimonio derivado de su historia. Guatemala es parte de ello gracias a cuatro destinos considerados ya tradicionales, no obstante, la riqueza cultural del país es mayor a la que se reconoce, desde lo prehispánico y colonial hasta lo republicano y contemporáneo, constituyendo un vasto y diverso patrimonio arqueológico, cuya adecuada gestión permitiría complementar la oferta turística a la vez que incidiría en su puesta en valor, tal es el caso particular de los sitios en la Cuenca Mirador y otros que están en la misma situación. + info: https://www.academia.edu/5155912 News Agenda Publications Go to the top http://www.forumunescochair.upv.es/eng/noticias/newsletter_99/30.html[03/03/2014 10:22:51] Underwater Cultural Heritage/Archaeology Underwater Cultural Heritage/Archaeology News Agenda Publications News How we all kill whales By Michael Moore Oxford University Press My first job after veterinary school in 1983 was for the International Whaling Commission examining the efficacy of explosive harpoons for killing fin whales on an Icelandic whaling vessel.

Roman villas expressed a novel architectural language which was developed by designers appropriating the existing stylistic and thematic vocabularies of Hellenistic and Roman architecture.

News of this reconstruction, which has taken place without Unesco’s knowledge or permission, was revealed during the 12th meeting of Unesco’s Bamiyan working group, in Orvieto, Italy, in December. A team of archaeologists from the German branch of Icomos (the International Council on Monuments and Sites), led by Michael Petzet, who himself served as the head of Icomos from 1999 to 2008, spent most of last year rebuilding the smaller Buddha’s lower appendages with iron rods, reinforced concrete and bricks, an operation that Francesco Bandarin, Unesco’s assistant director-general for culture, describes as “wrong on every level”. He says: “Unesco has nothing to do with this project. It was undertaken without the consent of the Afghan government and has now been stopped.”… + info: http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/bamiyan/31660 WWF - Let’s draw a line no one should cross (Virunga) Oil company Soco International PLC is exploring for oil in Virunga, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Together they reflect the hugely profitable trade in frankincense and myrrh from south Arabia to the Mediterranean, which flourished from the 3rd century BC until the 2nd century AD. With the vestiges of their sophisticated irrigation systems, urban constructions, forts and caravanserai, they bear witness to the way in which the harsh desert was settled for trade and agriculture. + info: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1107/ Pakistan's Mohenjo Daro ruins 'threatened by festival' Conservationists in Pakistan have asked Unesco to stop part of a cultural event being held on a World Heritage site.

Histoire de la batellerie de la préhistoire à demain Par Bernard Le Sueur EAN/ISBN : 9782723475167 Year: 2012 Après une longue éclipse, les rivières et les canaux de France ont fait leur retour au coeur de nos sociétés, et chacun d'entre nous est aujourd'hui concerné par ce changement considérable en tant que citoyen, consommateur ou contribuable. Dans toutes les régions, les fleuves et les canaux sont mis en avant et séduisent les acteurs de l'économie, du tourisme, du sport et deviennent un lieu privilégié d'habitat. Ce profond mouvement de redécouverte et de réappropriation a défini une nouvelle manière de vivre avec les cours d'eau : on décentralise, on aménage les rives urbaines, on reconstruit des bateaux à l'ancienne, on classe les bords de Seine, de Loire et du canal du Midi au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco… + info: http://mer.glenatlivres.com/livre/navigations-interieures-9782723475167.htm Posted by FUUH member: Le Sueur, Bernard (Francia / France / France) World Heritage Review n°70 - Synergies to Protect Sites Year: 2014 The conservation of World Heritage involves a complex network of partners.

Lawson ISBN: 9780199698226 Year: 2012 Painted Caves, a beautifully illustrated introduction to the oldest art of Western Europe, charts the historical background to the acceptance of a Palaeolithic age for the very ancient paintings found in caves. Offering an up-to-date overview of the geographical distribution of the sites found in southern France and the Iberian Peninsula, and examples known in Britain, Italy, Romania, and Russia, Lawson's expert study is not restricted to the art in caves, but places this art alongside the engravings and sculptures found both on portable objects and on rock faces in the open air. Written from an archaeological perspective, the volume stresses how the individual images cannot be considered in isolation, but should rather be related to their location and other evidence that might provide clues to their significance. Although many scholars have put forward ideas as to the meaning and function of the art, Lawson discusses some of the substantive theories and offers glimpses of his own experience in the field and enduring fascination for the subject… + info: http://global.oup.com/academic/product/painted-caves-9780199698226 Reports of proceedings of a Conference (28 Nov 2013) and a Workshop (21 Dec 2013) held in Cairo on the Future of African World Heritage.
