La Sra. Lydia Deloumeaux de la unidad de cultura del
Instituto de estadística de la UNESCO es uno de los
coautores del marco de la UNESCO de 2009 para las
estadísticas culturales. Entre 2006 y 2009, conoció a
muchos miembros de los ministerios de Cultura procedente de muchos países con meta de crear un marco
más global para las estadísticas culturales que incluyera todos los países del mundo. Aceptó amablemente
compartir su pasión con nosotros y responder a nuestras preguntas sobre las implicaciones del marco de
2009 y el impacto que tiene.
¿Concretamente, de qué manera el marco de la UNESCO de 2009 para las estadísticas
culturales nos brindó mayor comprensión del ámbito cultural?
El marco revisado de 2009 es el resultado de una consulta mundial de cuatro años a la cual
contribuyeron muchos especialistas, estadísticos, y expertos en el ámbito. Esto incluye a representantes de numerosos ministerios de cultura, oficinas nacionales de estadística y de los
organismos asociados. Este marco sustituye al marco de 1986 basado principalmente en un
modelo europeo. El nuevo marco es más amplio, permitiendo así una mejor representación de
todas las culturas que existen en el mundo.
El objetivo del marco de 2009 es sobre todo conceptual: nos permite establecer algunos deslindes en el ámbito de la cultura con fines estadísticos. También sirve como guía para los países
que quieren entender el ámbito cultural a fin de desarrollar las herramientas adaptadas a sus
necesidades. Sobre todo, crea una conciencia de la importancia de las estadísticas culturales.
Asimismo da una visión completa y actualizada del sector cultural por medio de sus prácticas
culturales diversificadas, basándose en logros del pasado como el patrimonio cultural inmaterial siempre en evolución, así que tomando en cuenta prácticas culturales del mundo digital,
tales como la descarga de música. Por otra parte, permite documentar los debates actuales
sobre temas clave como el de la diversidad cultural.
¿De qué manera el marco de UNESCO de 2009 para las estadísticas culturales nos ayuda
a entender mejor el impacto de la cultura sobre las comunidades? Por ejemplo ¿existen
casos en que la formulación de las políticas ha sido afectada por el conjunto más amplio
de datos?
El marco es innovador en el sentido de que es el primer modelo internacional que integre el
patrimonio cultural inmaterial como una disciplina distinta, ya que estas prácticas son a menudo al corazón de las sociedades. Por lo tanto, refleja las prácticas culturales comunitarias
que deben ser consideradas en el establecimiento de políticas culturales, de tal forma que la
implementación de políticas basada en hechos es más eficiente. Ciertas minorías y grupos
socialmente marginados pueden beneficiarse así de políticas más enfocadas.
Cabe saber también que desde 2009, hemos organizado talleres regionales en muchos países para dar a conocer el nuevo
marco y para ofrecer una formación in situ. Mostramos a agentes culturales y a estadísticos que el marco puede servir de
referencia y que puede adaptarse a las necesidades nacionales. Hasta la fecha, los resultados de los talleres regionales son
muy alentadores: algunos países como Sudáfrica, Qatar, Seychelles, Fiyi, las Islas Cook, y aquellos en UEOMA (Unión
monetaria y económica africana del oeste), se interesan en desarrollar su propio marco nacional, a lo cual damos nuestro
apoyo. Además, desde la publicación del marco, ya hemos podido ver su impacto con el desarrollo de marcos sobre las
estadísticas culturales nacionales o regionales como los de Canadá o de Europa.
Según usted ¿cuáles son los principales retos en la recolecta de datos? ¿Está el Instituto de estadísticas de la
UNESCO trabajando actualmente al desarrollo y mejoramiento de su sistema de recolección de datos?
Los desafíos mayores en la recolecta de datos en el sector cultural son de poder captar el ámbito de la cultura en su totalidad y de desarrollar una cultura de las estadísticas que no se encuentra a menudo en este ámbito. Por ejemplo, muy pocos
países en el mundo tienen un sistema centralizado de recolecta sobre las estadísticas culturales ya que estas estadísticas
están frecuentemente desparramadas en varios ministerios, institutos de estadística, y asociaciones.
Otro desafío es el de asegurar la calidad y la armonización de los datos. Ya que la cultura es diversa en principio, es muy
difícil obtener datos comparables internacionalmente.
Además, la desmaterialización de los objetos culturales induce que muchas prácticas culturales se realizan en el mundo
virtual; las herramientas de recopilación actuales todavía quedan atrás de los nuevos modos de consumo.
La carencia de recursos humanos y financieros atribuida a las estadísticas culturales constituye otro desafío. El Instituto
dedica una parte de sus actividades a formar estadísticos a fin de fortalecer sus capacidades en las estadísticas culturales.
Los talleres regionales que mencioné anteriormente se organizan para crear una cooperación entre los representantes de
los ministerios de cultura y los institutos nacionales de estadística. También tenemos un enfoque regional e implicamos
entidades regionales claves como CARICOM, la Unión Africana o la UEMOA en nuestras actividades.
El Instituto siempre busca como desarrollar y mejorar la calidad de su sistema de recopilación de datos. Por el momento,
en lo que se trata des estadísticas culturales, nuestra encuesta semestral cubre las estadísticas sobre películas de largo
metraje. Tenemos la intención de elaborar un estudio sobre el empleo cultural.
Según usted ¿cual debe ser el papel de la sociedad civil en la recopilación de datos culturales? ¿Qué pueden hacer
las varias coaliciones nacionales para la diversidad cultural para ayudar a proporcionar datos al Instituto estadístico de la UNESCO? ¿Cuál es la utilidad de los datos para las coaliciones?
La sociedad civil y las coaliciones pueden desempeñar varios papeles en la recopilación de datos cultuales. En primer
lugar, pueden actuar como intermediarios para sus miembros y la sociedad civil a fin de transmitir esta cultura de recolecta de datos. Pueden desempeñar un papel en el seguimiento de los últimos avances en métodos estadísticos o informes
existentes. Por ejemplo, pueden publicar las mejores prácticas de ciertos países e incitar a otros a seguir su ejemplo. Las
coaliciones nacionales también son fuentes potenciales de datos, ya que son las representantes de los sectores culturales
en sus países respectivos.
Las estadísticas proporcionan a las coaliciones una mejor comprensión sobre ciertas políticas y las ayudan a evaluar sus
esfuerzos en la realización o el establecimiento de prioridades.
¿Vio Ud., desde la publicación del marco de 2009, más colaboración entre los países en la recolecta de datos?
Sí, ciertamente, hemos visto una mejor colaboración entre los países. Por ejemplo, vemos que en las entidades regionales, tales como MERCOSUR, CARICOM et la Union africana, los países están tratando de desarrollar la colaboración
regional. Además, los países que han recibido la formación en nuestros talleres regionales pueden presentar ahora sus
estadísticas culturales a otros países y ayudarles a desarrollar mejor sus propias estadísticas.
¿Cómo posiciona su investigación dado que muchos países han ratificado la Convención de la UNESCO de 2005
debido a las cuestiones comerciales? Por ejemplo, muchos países quieren promover su propia cultura ante la
dominación cultural extranjera. ¿Contribuyen sus estudios a los debates comerciales o prefiere el Instituto posicionarse a fuera de ellos?
Nuestro trabajo consiste en proporcionar datos para fines analíticos. Nuestros datos están disponibles para los Estados,
los investigadores, y los analistas para fines diversos y pueden servir tanto de base para el desarrollo de políticas que en
la defensa de intereses específicos. Si bien el Instituto está al servicio de los Estados miembros, permanece fuera de los
debates políticos.

Arqueólogos chinos hallan cerca de 3.000 estatuas de Buda
Arqueólogos chinos hallaron cerca de tres mil estatuas del Buda en la provincia de Hebei, este de China.
Según la fuente, durante las excavaciones 2.895 estatuas y fragmentos de las mismas fueron hallados en
la citada provincia china, antigüedades que pertenecen al periodo de las dinastías Wei Oriental y Qi del
Norte (años 534-550; y 550-577).
Los expertos del Instituto de Arqueología, de la Academia china de Ciencias Sociales y del Instituto de
Patrimonio Cultural de la
provincia de Hebei, aseguraron que las reliquias fueron hechas de mármol y piedra azul. Las estatuas
tienen de 20 centímetros hasta la altura de una persona. Próximamente, las estatuas serán limpiadas y restauradas para
luego ser estudiadas. Hasta el momento no se dispone del valor de las reliquias.

La unidad de arqueología de la Universidad de Cambridge ha encontrado a un
adolescente del s. VII enterrado en su cama.
Arqueólogos excavando cerca de Cambridge han tropezado con un misterioso y raro
hallazgo: el esqueleto de un adolescente del S. VII enterrado en una cama ornamental con
una cruz de oro y granate, un cuchillo de hierro y una bolsa llena de perlas de cristal. Los
expertos dicen que la tumba es un ejemplo de una práctica funeraria anglosajona poco
común de la que se sabe muy poco. Solo una docena de estas “camas funerarias” han sido
encontradas en Gran Bretaña, y esta es una de las dos únicas encontradas con una cruz en
el pecho (diseñadas para usarse en el pecho).

Morocco's Roman ruins Volubilis, Lixus and Sala Colonia: Stunning, with few
tourists
Visitors to Morocco usually head straight for the beaches or plunge into the winding alleys of
exotic medieval markets, but this rich North African country also has a wealth of ruins from
its days as a Roman colony. Few visit Morocco's handful of 2,000-year-old sites, but they are
well worth the side trip, not least because the ancient city planners had a knack for picking
the most stunning locations for their towns.

PRIZES - Prix spécial du jury Clio 2012 : Dominique Parayre - Tell al-Nasriyah et ses
morts (République arabe Syrienne)
Le contexte difficile que connaît aujourd'hui la Syrie ne doit pas nous faire oublier la place
éminente qu'a occupée ce pays dans l'histoire du ¨Proche Orient ancien et le rôle majeur qu'y
jouent, en liaison avec leurs homologues locaux, les archéologues français dans la résurrection
d'un passé multimillénaire. Outre les sites fameux de Mari, d'Ebla ou d'Ugarit, les fouilles
réalisées en Syrie ont révélé, au fil des recherches les plus récentes, des pans entiers d'une
Antiquité longtemps méconnue, contemporaine de la transition qui a vu le passage du
Néolithique aux Ages du Bronze et du Fer.
Professeur à l'université de Lille III et responsable de la Mission archéologique syro-française de l'Oronte, Dominique
Parayre - dont le jury du prix Clio vient de couronner les travaux en lui attribuant son Prix Spécial - s'est intéressée à la
zone correspondant à la rive droite de la moyenne vallée de l'Oronte, limitée à l'ouest par le fleuve et à l'est par un désert
steppique peu propice aux installations humaines. Cette région, située au nord-ouest de Hama, est connue pour avoir vu
se développer au Bronze moyen une forme originale d'urbanisation, caractérisée par un plan quadrangulaire identifié
initialement à Qatna, la moderne Mishrifeh. La mission syro-française a mis au jour deux nouveaux sites de plan
quadrangulaire, Tell al Nasriyah et Tell Massin.

Descubrimientos arqueológicos - Tenochtitlan - México
En recinto sagrado de Tenochtitlan, arqueólogos del INAH-Conaculta hallaron 23 lápidas de
más de 550 años de antigüedad, con representaciones grabadas de serpientes, cautivos,
ornamentos y guerreros que, en su conjunto, parecen constituir un relato que alude al
nacimiento de Huitzilopochtli y al origen de la Guerra Sagrada entre los mexicas. Las lápidas
se encuentran ubicadas frente a los vestigios del Templo Mayor de Tenochtitlan, en el
Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México, junto a la plataforma circular decorada con cabezas
de serpientes descubierta en septiembre de 2011. Las lápidas se disponen deliberadamente
a lo largo de una vía constituida por lajas de andesita rosa y de basalto (de 16.7 m de largo y 3.3 de ancho) y su nivel
corresponde a la IVa etapa constructiva del Templo Mayor, que se edificó entre 1440 y 1469, durante el gobierno del
tlatoani Moctezuma I. La disposición y el emplazamiento parecen corresponder a referencias encontradas en la Historia
general de las cosas de la Nueva España, de Bernardino de Sahagún, en la Historia de las Indias de Nueva España e Islas
de Tierra Firme, escrito por Diego Durán, así como en los códices Boturini y Chimalpopoca…

The government of Turkey has asked the J. Paul Getty Museum to return artifacts
that it believes were looted
The government of Turkey has asked the J. Paul Getty Museum and several other American
museums to return artifacts that it believes were looted. The Turkish government has
contacted the Getty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Cleveland
Museum of Art and Harvard University's Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection to
present evidence that objects in their collections may have been illegally excavated from the
country's archaeological sites, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

Heilbrunn Timeline of History - Metropolitan Museum of Art - Athletics in Ancient Greece - New York City. New
York State (USA)
According to tradition, the most important athletic competitions were inaugurated in 776 B.C. at Olympia in the
Peloponnesos. By the sixth century B.C., other Panhellenic (pan=all, hellenikos=Greek) games involving Greek-speaking
city-states were being held at Delphi, Nemea, and Isthmia. Many local games, such as the Panathenaic games at Athens,
were modeled on these four periodoi, or circuit games. The Pythian games at Delphi honored Apollo and included singing
and drama contests; at Nemea, games were held in honor of Zeus; at Isthmia, they were celebrated for Poseidon; and at
Olympia, they were dedicated to Zeus, although separate games in which young, unmarried women competed were
celebrated for Hera. The victors at all these games brought honor to themselves, their families, and their hometowns.
Public honors were bestowed on them, statues were dedicated to them, and victory poems were written to commemorate
their feats. Numerous vases are decorated with scenes of competitions and the odes of Pindar celebrate a number of
athletic victories.

Sicily aims to make more of the Morgantine Venus - Local authorities and tourism
industry seek Euro funds to promote statue returned by US museum (Italy)
In an effort to capitalise on the return of Morgantina Venus to Italian authorities by the Getty
Museum, Los Angeles, local business associations and town councils near Enna in Sicily have
formed a non-profit, public-private organisation called the “Distretto turistico Dea di
Morgantina” (tourist district of the goddess of Morgantina), to coordinate local culture and
tourism initiatives.
They presented their formal request for recognition to the regional authorities in December
2011, and are expecting approval at the end of March, which will pave the way to obtain an EU grant.

AWARDS - AIA (American Institute of Archaeology) Awards Site Preservation Grant
to Civil War Park in Virginia (USA)
The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) awarded its most recent Site Preservation Grant
to the Stafford Civil War Sites in Stafford County, Virginia. The archaeological sites, overseen
by the Friends of Stafford Civil War Sites, are part of a public historic park that is being
developed to promote, for the first time, the 1862-1863 winter encampments of over 130,000
Union soldiers.
In recent years, Stafford County, like many areas in Virginia, has seen increased development
that is beginning to encroach on local heritage sites. This was especially true near the site of several Union Army winter
encampments, which lie within the boundaries of property owned by and now set aside for a park by Stafford County and
City of Fredericksburg’s Rappahannock Regional Landfill. In 2006, the Friends of the Stafford Civil War Sites began working
with local officials to preserve these sites through the creation of a public park. Archaeological studies to determine the
extent of the historic sites were conducted and in July 2011 construction of the park began with the help of a federally
approved “Innovative Readiness Training Exercise” proposed by the FSCWS to the Virginia Army National Guard’s 276th
Engineer Battalion.

Un paso adelante en Brasil, se desentierra una historia dolorosa, los arqueólogos
están excavando los fragmentos.
En una parte deteriorada del distrito del puerto de Río de Janeiro, los arqueólogos están
excavando para obtener fragmentos de una historia que muchos brasileños prefieren
ignorar. Cerca de 1 millón de hombres y mujeres forzados a la esclavitud en África surgieron
del interior de los barcos que atracaban en el muelle de Valongo, el mercado de esclavos
más activo del mundo. A día de hoy, Brasil va hacia delante en el escenario mundial, y los
investigadores esperan que el hallazgo de perlas, brazaletes y estatuas haga que los
brasileños vean con mayor interés su herencia de la época de la esclavitud.
Tribus indias preocupadas por el oleoducto que podría perturbar a sus tumbas –

la ruta podría perturbar lugares sagrados donde hay fosas comunes de sus antepasados. El
jefe de la nación Sac y Fox, George Thurman, planea expresar su consternación esta
semana en Washington. Thurman dice que teme que los trabajadores que colocan la tubería
Keystone XL a lo largo de 485 millas, desde Cushing hasta las refinerías de la Costa del
Golfo de Texas, perturben la tierra santa sin el consentimiento de su tribu. El y los demás miembros de la tribu aseguran
que la ruta del oleoducto atraviesa zonas donde es probable que haya enterradas tumbas anónimas.

Committee for Cultural Heritage Preservation (USA)
The undersigned institutions join the growing tide of concern about the National Geographic Channel’s new series “Diggers”
and Spike TV’s forthcoming series “American Digger,” both of which are designed to amuse and entertain audiences while
glorifying the indiscriminate destruction of American history by artifact hunters. The teaser advertisement for “American
Digger” gives a good indication of how little the producers of these shows value the historical record; the show aims to
“scour target-rich areas such as battlefields and historic sites, in hopes of striking it rich by unearthing and selling rare
pieces of American history.”…

Abstract - Murder in the Agora: Violent Death and Illicit Burial in Ancient Athens
by Maria Liston
Violent crime and homicides are not a problem limited to the modern world alone, and the ancient city of Athens
experienced similar events throughout antiquity. A recent study of all the human skeletons found in wells excavated by the
American Excavations in the Athenian Agora has found that many of these individuals died violently. Some of the dead,
including women and children, appear to be associated with the sack of Athens by the Herulians, a Gothic tribe who
invaded Greece in AD 267. Other skeletons, found in wells ranging in date from the Neolithic to late antiquity, appear to be
victims of individual attacks. These skeletons exhibit multiple indications of trauma, and appear to be murder victims
hidden in the depths of wells, presumably conveniently located near the scene of the crime. This lecture examines the
evidence for these ancient “cold case” crimes in Ancient Athens.

Federal prosecutors seek to confiscate ancient statue pulled from auction at
Sotheby's - New York City - New York State - USA
Federal prosecutors sought Wednesday to confiscate an ancient statue from Cambodia that
was pulled from auction at Sotheby's in New York, arguing that the 1,000-year-old relic was
stolen from a temple in the South Asian country and illegally imported into the U.S. The U.S.
attorney's office in Manhattan filed court papers seeking to compel Sotheby's to forfeit the
sandstone statue so that it could be returned to Cambodia.

A St. Louis museum can keep hold of a 3,200-year-old mummy's mask, a federal judge has
ruled, saying the U.S. government failed to prove that the Egyptian relic was ever stolen.
Prosecutors said the funeral mask of Lady Ka-Nefer-Nefer went missing from the Egyptian
Museum in Cairo about 40 years ago and that it should be returned to its country of origin.

Surviving Sudden Environmental Change - Answers from Archaeology
By Jago Cooper and Payson Sheets
ISBN: 978-1-60732-167-5
Published: Feb. 2012
Archaeologists have long encountered evidence of natural disasters through excavation and stratigraphy.
In Surviving Sudden Environmental Change, case studies examine how eight different past human
communities-ranging from Arctic to equatorial regions, from tropical rainforests to desert interiors, and
from deep prehistory to living memory-faced and coped with such dangers.
Many disasters originate from a force of nature, such as an earthquake, cyclone, tsunami, volcanic eruption, drought, or
flood. But that is only half of the story; decisions of people and their particular cultural lifeways are the rest. Sociocultural
factors are essential in understanding risk, impact, resilience, reactions, and recoveries from massive sudden
environmental changes. By using deep-time perspectives provided by interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides a
rich temporal background to the human experience of environmental hazards and disasters. In addition, each chapter is
followed by an abstract summarizing the important implications for today's management practices and providing
recommendations for policy makers.

Intervención num. 3 (Enero - Junio 2011) Escuela Nacional de Conservación, Restauración y
Museografía de México
Editor: Instituto Nacional de Arqueología e Historia
Año: 2011
El consejo editorial de ‘Intervención’ cuenta hoy con nuevos miembros y una política de trabajo
plenamente integrada a la estructura de publicaciones del INAH. Agradecemos a todos los que colaboran
en este empeño, en espera de que los resultados manifiesten la optimización a la que estamos
cabalmente comprometidos. Creemos que este sentido de renovación seguirá haciendo que la revista sea
transcendente y necesaria en la actualidad. Si bien la aproximación al patrimonio cultural ha cambiado mucho desde
aquella narración de ‘Nabonidus’, en el siglo V, esa profundidad histórica en continua reformulación yace aún en la lógica
de trabajo colectivo que busca, en el presente, la permanencia. Ésa es la esencia y razón de ser de esta publicación.

JOB OFFERS - Tulane University Internship in the Kingdom of Cambodia
The Khmer Empire was once the most powerful force in Southeast Asia. More than 500 years after its collapse, its splendor
survives in the art and archaeology of Cambodia. This heritage is among the kingdom’s most important resources, but
having survived centuries of war and abandonment, may be destroyed by its own popularity. Looters are decimating
ancient Khmer sites --- desecrating tombs, beheading statues, and ransacking temples --- in search of valuable antiquities
to sell on the international market…

PRIZES - Prix spécial du jury Clio 2012 : Dominique Parayre - Tell al-Nasriyah et ses
morts (République arabe Syrienne)
Le contexte difficile que connaît aujourd'hui la Syrie ne doit pas nous faire oublier la place
éminente qu'a occupée ce pays dans l'histoire du ¨Proche Orient ancien et le rôle majeur qu'y
jouent, en liaison avec leurs homologues locaux, les archéologues français dans la résurrection
d'un passé multimillénaire. Outre les sites fameux de Mari, d'Ebla ou d'Ugarit, les fouilles
réalisées en Syrie ont révélé, au fil des recherches les plus récentes, des pans entiers d'une
Antiquité longtemps méconnue, contemporaine de la transition qui a vu le passage du
Néolithique aux Ages du Bronze et du Fer.
Professeur à l'université de Lille III et responsable de la Mission archéologique syro-française de l'Oronte, Dominique
Parayre - dont le jury du prix Clio vient de couronner les travaux en lui attribuant son Prix Spécial - s'est intéressée à la
zone correspondant à la rive droite de la moyenne vallée de l'Oronte, limitée à l'ouest par le fleuve et à l'est par un désert
steppique peu propice aux installations humaines. Cette région, située au nord-ouest de Hama, est connue pour avoir vu
se développer au Bronze moyen une forme originale d'urbanisation, caractérisée par un plan quadrangulaire identifié
initialement à Qatna, la moderne Mishrifeh. La mission syro-française a mis au jour deux nouveaux sites de plan
quadrangulaire, Tell al Nasriyah et Tell Massin.

AWARDS - Award for Urban Wetland Planning in France
Many wetlands in urban and peri-urban environments are or are becoming degraded due to
surrounding populations, pollution and poorly managed waste, among other factors. As a
consequence, the ecosystem services that urban wetlands can provide have diminished and
it is therefore essential for both decision-makers and urban communities to recognize their
value and importance…

AWARDS - AIA (American Institute of Archaeology) Awards Site Preservation Grant
to Civil War Park in Virginia (USA)
The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) awarded its most recent Site Preservation Grant
to the Stafford Civil War Sites in Stafford County, Virginia. The archaeological sites, overseen
by the Friends of Stafford Civil War Sites, are part of a public historic park that is being
developed to promote, for the first time, the 1862-1863 winter encampments of over 130,000
Union soldiers.
In recent years, Stafford County, like many areas in Virginia, has seen increased development
that is beginning to encroach on local heritage sites. This was especially true near the site of several Union Army winter
encampments, which lie within the boundaries of property owned by and now set aside for a park by Stafford County and
City of Fredericksburg’s Rappahannock Regional Landfill. In 2006, the Friends of the Stafford Civil War Sites began working
with local officials to preserve these sites through the creation of a public park. Archaeological studies to determine the
extent of the historic sites were conducted and in July 2011 construction of the park began with the help of a federally
approved “Innovative Readiness Training Exercise” proposed by the FSCWS to the Virginia Army National Guard’s 276th
Engineer Battalion.

Indian Star Tortoises sent home
19 Indian Star Tortoises seized in Indonesia’s largest airport, Jakarta’s Soekarno Hatta,
have been returned to India, their country of origin.
It is the first occasion tortoises seized in Indonesia have been returned to India.
The animals were part of a seizure made by Customs in Jakarta on 7th November 2011
after an Indonesian woman was stopped returning to Indonesia from Bangkok, Thailand,
with the tortoises and various snakes, but without the necessary permits.
Although her cargo included 47 Indian Star Tortoises, 27 of them were already dead or died
shortly after she was stopped. A further tortoise died in the quarantine station awaiting repatriation.

Saving the Silky Sifaka - Madagascar
Clustered in the mountains of northeastern Madagascar, they are known locally
as “ghosts of the forest,” because they seem to flash through the trees. To
scientists, silky sifakas are known as one of the world’s rarest mammals. There
are fewer than 1,000 still alive, perhaps only 100, says Erik Patel, a PhD
candidate at Cornell University who has spent years observing the an-imals in the
island nation’s Marojejy National Park.
A type of lemur, a silky sifaka weighs between 11 and 14 pounds and measures
up to three-and-a-half-feet long. Silkies “fly like angels,” local people say, leaping as far as ten yards from tree to tree.
“You could be following them and suddenly you look up and they’re a quarter-mile away,” says Kevin Schafer, a Seattlebased wildlife photographer who spent two weeks with Patel documenting the elusive primate.

Continent-wide risk assessment for the establishment of nonindigenous species in Antarctica - Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences of the USA (PNAS)

Vijver and Dana Michelle Bergstrom
Invasive alien species are among the primary causes of biodiversity change globally, with the risks thereof broadly
understood for most regions of the world. They are similarly thought to be among the most significant conservation threats
to Antarctica, especially as climate change proceeds in the region. However, no comprehensive, continent-wide evaluation
of the risks to Antarctica posed by such species has been undertaken. Here we do so by sampling, identifying, and
mapping the vascular plant propagules carried by all categories of visitors to Antarctica during the International Polar
Year's first season (2007–2008) and assessing propagule establishment likelihood based on their identity and origins and
Biodiversidad
on spatial variation in Antarctica's climate. For an evaluation of the situation in 2100, we use modeled climates based on
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Special Report on Emissions Scenarios Scenario A1B…

Grauer's gorilla or Eastern Lowland Gorilla in the DRC (Democratic Republic of
Congo) - Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International - Newsletter - March 2012
Gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are dying, the victims of animal
trafficking and habitat loss. Scientists suspect that the numbers of gorillas have decreased
dramatically in the last 15 years and have shown their concern by designating them as
"endangered."
The Grauer's gorilla, sometimes called the eastern lowland gorilla, is often forgotten. None
are found in zoos and since the area they live in has been unsafe for decades, we don't
know every time one is killed. Only support from those who truly care has made it possible for the Fossey Fund to begin
combating habitat loss and animal trafficking in the DRC…

Pangolin seizure highlights Malaysia-Thailand smuggling route
Wildlife authorities arrested two men and seized 18 pangolins from a vehicle near a
protected area in the northern state of Perak in Peninsular Malaysia on Saturday.
The seizure and arrests were made along the East-West highway that divides the Belum
Royal State Park from the Temengor Forest Reserve and is the second to take place in this
area in the last six months.
In November last year, authorities found 12 pangolins in the boot of a car belonging to two
local villagers travelling along the same highway, headed towards the Malaysia- Thailand
border.

A new species of scincid lizard in the genus Caledoniscincus (Reptilia: Scincidae) from northwest New
Caledonia
By ROSS A. SADLIER, TONY WHITAKER, PERRY L.WOOD, JR. & AARON M. BAUER
A new species of skink in the genus Caledoniscincus is described from the northwest region of New Caledonia. It is known
from two locations, one on the coast at Pointe de Vavouto north of Koné, the other on the slopes of the Massif
d’Ouazangou, an isolated mountain 30 km to the north. Typical of all members of the genus, adult males and females of
the new species are sexually dichromatic. The new species, Caledoniscincus constellatus sp. nov., has a bold, white
midlateral stripe, a feature which distinguishes it from most other species of Caledoniscincus except the regionally
sympatric C. haplorhinus (Günther) and C. austrocaledonicus (Bavay), from which it can be distinguished by a unique
pattern of contact between the pale midlateral stripe and the ear. DNA sequence data for the ND2 mitochondrial gene
identifies a high level of genetic differentiation between the new species and all other Caledoniscincus, further supporting
its distinctiveness as an independent evolutionary lineage. The species is of high conservation concern given its restricted
distribution in a region that has been, and will continue to be, heavily impacted by human occupation, and would be
Biodiversidad
ranked as Critically Endangered under IUCN criteria.

Arrests made as Cameroon elephant poaching crisis spreads
Twelve suspected poachers have been arrested and 14 elephant tusks confiscated outside protected areas
in southeast Cameroon this week. Forest rangers carried out the arrests and seizures near Boumba-Bek
and Nki National Parks after receiving intelligence information from village monitoring groups formed by
WWF.
The anti-poaching operation comes just weeks after the Cameroon military entered a national park in the
North Region of the country where poachers have slaughtered hundreds of elephants since January. Up to
12,000 elephants are killed each year for their ivory, most in Central Africa.

Science Magazine - Plant Hunters
For British plant hunter John Wood, few endeavors are quite as satisfying as retracing the steps of an 18th century
explorer. In the late 1970s, Wood retraced Peter Forsskål's journeys in Yemen; Forsskål discovered many new plant
species before succumbing to malaria more than 200 years before Wood's adventures. “Many of these plants were never
refound in Yemen until I went back,” Wood says.
Today, medicines, vehicles, and GPS have made the work of plant collectors safer and a bit easier, but the basic
techniques and challenges remain the same as they were in Forsskål’s time. It takes a particular set of skills and personal
attributes to do the job. “These individuals are self motivated, have the ability to withstand hardship, probably have a
Biodiversidad
great eye and photographic memory,” writes Robert Scotland, a reader in systematic botany at the University of Oxford in
the United Kingdom, in an e-mail.
Such individuals must also have a thirst for adventure and be willing to sacrifice some comfort and job security. Most plant
hunters either live on short-term contracts or take permanent positions with other responsibilities. But for passionate plant
collectors, the thrill of the hunt is difficult to match.

Don't cut trees, keep bees! - Georgia
In Georgia, where IUCN is helping rural people find alternative livelihoods to illegal logging, it’s
finding that there is great enthusiasm for bee keeping and honey production as a new business
venture.
The villagers of Tadzrisi and Sakire in Borjomi district were heavily dependent on forest
resources and suffered from a government crackdown on illegal logging. The area was logged
heavily in the 1990s and the signs of deforestation are clearly visible.
Last year, five farmers from the two villages were each given a bee colony and a hive to help
start their own honey production business. They were the top candidates in a special training workshop that was given.

A Special Gorilla Birth Observed by Trackers
The Fossey Fund’s Karisoke Research Center gorilla trackers are always pleasantly surprised
when a female gives birth, because gorillas show no outward signs of pregnancy – the
newborns are small and big bellies are the rule (gorillas have long intestines to digest the large
amounts of fibrous vegetation they eat). The trackers usually discover the newborns with the
mother when they arrive at the group in the morning. That’s one reason why Imvune’s birth in
mid-March was a unique event, because the trackers were able to witness it. The other reason
is that it was the first birth in Titus’s group since Titus’s son Rano took over as dominant
silverback following a dramatic challenge that ended in the elder male’s death.

Identifying Cinderella species: uncovering mammals with conservation flagship appeal
By Robert J. Smith, Diogo Veríssimo, Nicholas J.B. Isaac, Kate E. Jones
International conservation NGOs rely on flagship species campaigns for fundraising but this approach has been criticized
for benefiting a limited number of species. However, this criticism assumes these campaigns do not fundraise for broader
issues and that alternative species with similar appeal to the target audience exist. We investigated this by: recording the
use of threatened mammal species in international NGO flagship campaigns, and; using these data to identify “Cinderella
species,” which we define as aesthetically appealing but currently overlooked species. We found these NGOs only used 80
flagship species and that 61% of their campaigns only raised funds for the species itself. We also found these existing
flagships are generally large and have forward-facing eyes and that there are 183 other threatened species with similar
traits. Thus, the current approach is overly limited but NGOs could overcome this by adopting some of these Cinderella
species as new flagships.

Les dernières rivières sauvages de France vont bientôt obtenir un label pour la protection et la préservation de
leur biodiversité - France
Les dernières rivières sauvages de France, considérées comme "ultimes joyaux" naturels par les écologistes, vont bientôt
obtenir un label pour mieux les protéger et préserver leur biodiversité, ont annoncé mercredi le WWF-France et une
vingtaine de partenaires du projet.
Quatre rivières pilotes - La Valserine et le Chéran en Rhône-Alpes, la Vis en Languedoc-Roussillon et le Léguer en Bretagne
- ont été sélectionnées pour aider à fixer les critères de la "sauvagitude". Elles sont aussi candidates au label.

Scientists Discover New Threat to Birds Posed by Invasive Pythons - Smithsonian
Biodiversidad
Institution - Washington, D.C. (USA)
Smithsonian scientists and their colleagues have uncovered a new threat posed by invasive Burmese
pythons in Florida and the Everglades: The snakes are not only eating the area’s birds, but also the
birds’ eggs straight from the nest. The results of this research add a new challenge to the area’s
already heavily taxed native wildlife. The team’s findings are published in the online journal Reptiles &
Amphibians: Conservation and Natural History.

Rapport d'étude. Version 1 – Février 2012. Rapport SPN 2012-21
Ce premier document résume la démarche scientifique qui a conduit à l'élaboration de la méthode pour
évaluer l'état de conservation des habitats agropastoraux, illustrés ici par les pelouses calcicoles et prairies
de fauche. Cette étude se base sur un ensemble de données récoltées sur le terrain. Grâce à des analyses
statistiques, le choix des indicateurs est éclairé à partir de l'étude de leur pertinence et de leur
redondance, Cette étude a abouti à une première version de la méthode, qui vise à être améliorée et à
évoluer grâce aux retours d'expérience des professionnels, à l'augmentation des données disponibles, mais également à

Biodiversidad
Une méthode d’évaluation de l’état de conservation des habitats d’intérêt communautaire des dunes non
boisées du littoral atlantique a été mise en place en partenariat avec le MNHN, l’ONF et le CBN de Brest.
L’étude a porté sur trois habitats d’intérêt communautaire, les dunes embryonnaires atlantiques (UE2110),
les dunes mobiles à Ammophila arenaria subsp. arenaria des côtes atlantiques (UE 2120) ou dunes
blanches et les dunes côtières fixées à végétation herbacée des côtes atlantiques (UE 2130) ou dunes
grises. Une sélection d’une liste de critères et d’indicateurs a été retenue suite à l'analyse bibliographique et aux
discussions lors du comité de suivi. Ce rapport présente une première méthode validée est téléchargeable sur le site de
l’INPN, mais il reste des ajustements et recalibrage de certains indicateurs pour finaliser la méthode.

Birdlife Report - ‘State of the world’s birds’
In 2004, when BirdLife published the report ‘State of the world’s birds’, it constituted the first
summary overview of the status of the world’s birds, the threats they faced and the conservation
actions underway, drawing on the knowledge and experience of the BirdLife Partnership. Since then,
information on the ‘State of the world’s birds’ has grown considerably and broadened in scope.
Today, there is a dedicated ‘State of the world’s birds’ website with a range of resources that includes
national reports and tailored advocacy materials.
The most recent development is a new Country Profile section presenting BirdLife’s information at a
national level. Each profile presents a range of facts and figures on the country’s bird species. Information on Important
Bird Areas (IBAs) and Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) is displayed alongside interactive maps which allow users to explore
areas of interest in detail. The profiles also include information on each country’s commitments under international
environmental conventions, as well as links to key publications and useful resources, such as ‘State of the world’s birds’
case studies and recent BirdLife Community posts.

mercoledì 21 marzo 2012, alle ore 17.30.
Sarà presentato in anteprima il terzo numero della rivista (gennaio-marzo 2012) dedicato al tema delle «Architetture di
pace».
«La pace è un po’ come una città, la si costruisce pezzo per pezzo», commenta Renzo Piano in un’intervista concessa in
esclusiva a Boundaries nel febbraio 2012 e pubblicata in questo numero. Il corso intricato della storia ci ricorda come la
pace sia un’invenzione dell’uomo, una paziente, continua costruzione. Ed è, appunto, il valore della costruzione come
momento di condivisione che i progetti presentati promuovono.

Writing About Architecture
By Alexandra Lange
Editor: Princeton Architectural Press - 2012
ISBN: 978-1616890537
We recently received a book we wished we had earlier, Writing About Architecture. Lange’s book pulls
from “lessons learned from her courses at New York University and the School of Visual Arts.” ”The
book offers works by some of the best architecture critics of the twentieth century including Ada
Louise Huxtable, Lewis Mumford, Herbert Muschamp, Michael Sorkin, Charles Moore, Frederick Law
Olmsted, and Jane Jacobs to explains some of the most successful methods with which to approach architectural criticism.”
The book “could serve as the primary text for a course on criticism for undergraduates or architecture and design majors.”
We here at ArchDaily are now using it as a resource.

New work in historic places of worship 2012
2nd edition
English Heritage believes that this country’s historic places of worship should retain their role as living
buildings at the heart of their communities. We want to help congregations accommodate changes that are
needed to achieve this, in ways which will sustain and enhance the special qualities of their buildings. Our
formal role is to act as a consultee in the statutory processes for controlling works to listed places of
worship, but we can also offer pre-application advice to congregations to help them develop proposals,
based on our experience and expertise in working with the historic environment.

Climat : de nouvelles simulations françaises pour le prochain rapport du GIEC (Groupe d'experts
Intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat)
A l'automne 2013, le GIEC qui, rappelons-le, est le Groupe d'experts Intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat,
publiera le premier volet de son nouveau rapport d'évaluation, le cinquième, les quatre premiers ayant été publiés
respectivement en 1990, 1995, 2001 et 2007. Trois groupes et une équipe spéciale composent le GIEC. Le premier traite
des éléments scientifiques de l'évolution du climat, à savoir son observation, sa compréhension et son estimation future.
Le second s'intéresse aux questions concernant la vulnérabilité des systèmes socio- économiques et naturels aux
changements climatiques, les conséquences de ces changements et les mesures d'adaptation. Enfin, le troisième et dernier
groupe s'occupe des mesures d'atténuation. Quant à l'équipe spéciale du GIEC, elle est en charge des inventaires
nationaux de gaz à effet de serre. Or pour établir leurs conclusions, les auteurs de ce 5ème rapport vont s'appuyer
notamment sur les résultats de l'exercice de simulations du climat passé et futur (CMIP-5), réalisé dans le cadre du
Programme mondial de recherche sur le climat (PMRC), dont la réalisation mobilise une large communauté scientifique
internationale dans laquelle sont impliqués de nombreux chercheurs français essentiellement du CNRS, du CEA, de MétéoFance, de l'UPMC (Université Pierre et Marie Curie) et l'UVSQ (Université Versailles Saint-Quentin- en-Yvelines).
La alta demanda y el cambio climático amenazan los recursos hídricos a nivel

La mayor demanda de alimentos, la rápida urbanización y el cambio climático ejercen una
creciente presión sobre este recurso. Frente a esta situación, es necesario repensar por
completo su gestión, concluye el Informe, que presentarán el 12 de marzo en el Foro Mundial del Agua de Marsella el
presidente de ONU-Agua, Michel Jarraud, y la Directora General de la UNESCO, Irina Bokova.

Il y a 14 600 ans, la mer est montée très rapidement lors d’une période de
réchauffement
Il y a 14 600 ans, le niveau marin a connu une hausse brutale de presque 14 mètres en
seulement 350 ans. Cette élévation impressionnante coïncide avec le début de la première
période chaude qui marqua la fin de la dernière glaciation. De plus, la contribution de la calotte
antarctique à cette élévation a été significative. Tels sont les résultats mis en évidence par une
équipe du Centre européen de recherche et d'enseignement en géosciences de l'environnement
(CEREGE, Aix-Marseille Université / CNRS / IRD / Collège de France), en collaboration avec des
collègues anglais et japonais. Publiés le 29 mars 2012 dans la revue Nature, ces travaux confirment l’existence d’une
accélération majeure de la remontée du niveau marin entre -14 650 et -14 300 : il s’agit d’un des événements climatiques
les plus marquants des derniers 20 000 ans.

Reconstituer la dynamique de la circulation océanique en Atlantique Nord, une composante essentielle du système
climatique, reste un défi majeur pour les sciences du climat. Cependant, dans les zones de forts courants de l’Atlantique
Nord croissent depuis des milliers voir des millions d'années des récifs coralliens profonds qui sont d’excellents
enregistreurs de certains paramètres climatiques. Leur étude, à l’aide de traceurs géochimiques, devrait permettre de
reconstruire l’évolution passée de paramètres océaniques, telles la température, la ventilation et la provenance des eaux,
et ainsi de reconstituer les variations passées de la circulation océanique et des conditions environnementales dans cette
région.

Un forage révèle que la Mer Morte s'est presque complètement asséchée il y a 125.000 ans - Israel
La baisse rapide du niveau de la Mer Morte, très préoccupante actuellement, n'est pas un phénomène nouveau : elle a déjà
eu lieu dans un passé lointain, ce qui entraîna son assèchement complet. C'est du moins le résultat auquel a récemment
abouti un projet de forage international auquel ont participé, entre autres, des chercheurs de l'Institut des Sciences de la
Terre Fredy and Nadine Herrmann à l'Université Hébraïque de Jérusalem. Ces recherches ont ouvert une fenêtre sur
l'histoire climatique et sismique de la mer Morte, en remontant le temps sur plusieurs centaines de milliers d'années.

Stephen Cox: A Plea for Safeguarding the Antarctic
However much you have travelled the world, nothing can prepare you for the grandeur and
spectacle of the Antarctic with its diverse abundant wildlife, the often tragic history of its
exploration, the remnants of man’s abuse of the natural environment and something that one
takes for granted when looking from afar: the ice. The ice, particularly where it collides with the
sea, is simply “awesome”.

Report on the Effect of climate change on cultural heritage: new results from Climate for Culture project
Funded by the EU from 2009 to 2014, Climate for Culture is investigating the potential impact of climate change on
Europe’s cultural heritage assets – particularly historic buildings and their interiors.
One projected result is a temperature increase of 1.5-2°C in the winter months for countries such as Germany, The
Netherlands, Belgium and most of the French inland. Together with potential changes in humidity, this could affect the
indoor environment of historic buildings.
The results underscore the need for considerable forward planning to ensure the preservation of collections.

Survey of Course Offerings in Cultural Heritage Law
The following list of course offerings in cultural heritage law is intended to provide a primary resource for law students,
those who are thinking of attending law school, and others who are interested in determining the extent and nature of the
teaching of cultural heritage law in law schools today. The list is based on a survey conducted by Ryan Rowberry during the
summer of 2006, “Law School Update: LCCHP Law School Survey Report,” published in the Yearbook of Cultural Property
Law 2007 (Sherry Hutt, ed. and David Tarler, assist. ed.). The methodology and questions used in the survey are

L’objectif de ce colloque est de faire le point sur les implications de cette nouvelle donne. Quelques uns des thèmes qui
Patrimonio Cultural
seraient abordés (la liste est non limitative) pourraient être : Jusqu’où étendre le champ du patrimoine ? Quel patrimoine
faut-il protéger, sauvegarder ? Peut-on, doit-on, tout protéger, tout sauvegarder ? Nous avons délibérément choisi pour ce
colloque d’y inviter des personnalités de la société civile qui ont, dans leurs écrits, déjà abordé ces thèmes de réflexion
sous des angles différents. La diversité de leurs approches mériterait d’être réunie en un ouvrage qui serait ainsi le
témoignage de l’état de cette réflexion en France aujourd’hui.

Boundaries International Architecture Magazine - Issue number 104 on 'Architectures of
Peace'
In this issue the focus is on the role of architecture in relation to peace, understanding the latter as a
condition that is constantly negotiated, an ongoing process.
“Peace” is not compared to its opposite, nor is it referred to as the celebration of memories or events. It
is not about considering philosophical or religious meaning, or authoritarianism and its modes of
expression, nor to outline possibilities in the future. It is about favouring literature that allows the
importance of the concreteness of work to emerge, of solidarity and tolerance, as well as of doubt and of
prudence in judgement. Practices, those, that speak about dialogue, which grow out of “being together” and become, at
the same time, the most effective expression of the art of being together; they take shape in the public space, and
architecture has a lot to do with it.

Tribus indias preocupadas por el oleoducto que podría perturbar a sus tumbas –
Cushing – Oklahoma – EEUU
Mientras el presidente Barack Obama presiona para agilizar el oleoducto del sur de
Oklahoma hasta la Costa del Golfo, una tribu de indios americanos está preocupada por que
la ruta podría perturbar lugares sagrados donde hay fosas comunes de sus antepasados. El
jefe de la nación Sac y Fox, George Thurman, planea expresar su consternación esta
semana en Washington. Thurman dice que teme que los trabajadores que colocan la tubería
Keystone XL a lo largo de 485 millas, desde Cushing hasta las refinerías de la Costa del
Golfo de Texas, perturben la tierra santa sin el consentimiento de su tribu. El y los demás miembros de la tribu aseguran
que la ruta del oleoducto atraviesa zonas donde es probable que haya enterradas tumbas anónimas.
Memorial de las víctimas del comunismo en Estonia /
Armin Valter + Joel Kopli
Armin Valter y Joel Kopli comparten con nosotros su propuesta
para ganar en concurso sobre el Memorial de las víctimas del
comunismo en Estonia. Situado al norte de un acantilado de
piedra caliza, cerca de la ciudad de Paldiski, en una base militar
de submarinos nucleares cerrada en la época soviética, su
diseño intenta revitalizar el lugar y concienciar a las personas
de la región. Esta arquitectura de la memoria contiene rasgos simbólicos para ser descubiertos por los visitantes. Con 20m
de profundidad y 20m de diámetro, el hoyo está cortado dentro del acantilado de piedra caliza. Una vez dentro, el visitante
se sumerge en la época del Telón de Acero soviético.

Revue In Situ - Les patrimoines de l'enseignement supérieur (France) Janvier 2012
L’idée d’un numéro de In situ, revue en ligne des patrimoines, consacré au patrimoine de l’enseignement supérieur a pour
la première fois été évoquée lors du comité de rédaction de la revue tenu le 8 décembre 2008. Après accord des
participants, un appel à projets a été diffusé. Il n’a reçu qu’un faible écho, avec environ une quinzaine de réponses, pas
toutes pertinentes de surcroît. Le 29 septembre 2009, les membres du comité, ayant pris acte de ces insuffisances,
décidèrent d’effectuer une relance plus ciblée de l’appel à contributions, avec pour but d’obtenir des propositions de textes
portant sur des questions jugées tout à la fois importantes et méconnues….

English Heritage Commentary on the National Planning Policy Framework - England (United Kingdom)
English Heritage is very pleased to have worked closely with the Government on the National Planning Policy Framework
(NPPF) to secure a positive result for heritage and sustainable development. We believe that the level of protection that
PPS5 gave to heritage has been maintained in the NPPF.
This will allow heritage to continue to play a central role in long-term sustainable growth in England. As there have been a
number of changes to the wording we will of course want to monitor the outcome of planning decisions to ensure that the
NPPF works in the way Government intends.

Routledge Handbook of Heritage in Asia
Edited by Patrick Daly and Tim Winter
Published December 13th 2011 by Routledge
ISBN: 978-0-415-60045-3
This Handbook is the first major volume to examine the conservation of Asia’s culture and nature in
relation to the wider social, political and economic forces shaping the region today.
Throughout Asia rapid economic and social change means the region’s heritage is at once under threat and
undergoing a revival as never before. As societies look forward, competing forces ensure they re-visit the
past and the inherited, with the conservation of nature and culture now driven by the broader agendas of identity politics,
tradition, revival, rapid development, environmentalism and sustainability…

Jeux et Enjeux de la planétisation - Patrimoine - Culture - Monde
By Isabelle HANNEQUART
ISBN: 978-2-296-13706-6
Collection : Interfaces et transdisciplinarités
Dans la continuité de son premier ouvrage sur la mondialisation (Science et conscience de la mondialisation,
L’Harmattan, 2006), Isabelle Hannequart, maître de conférences en droit public et membre du GERCIE/
Groupe d’Etude et de Recherche sur la coopération internationale et européenne de l’Université FrançoisRabelais de Tours, se focalise sur l’enjeu culturel de la mondialisation. Il ne s’agit pas d’un enjeu parmi
d’autres, mais de l’enjeu crucial d’une planétisation à la croisée de la mondialisation plurielle et de la globalisation
uniformisante.
L’auteure décrit les jeux que forment les trois composants de l’enjeu, le patrimoine, la culture et le Monde, dans les
variations de leurs multiples combinaisons. L’Union européenne, dotée d’une compétence culturelle, fait l’objet d’une
attention spéciale,
comme un laboratoire pour les notions d’exception culturelle, de diversité culturelle et de cohésion culturelle. L’originalité
de l’approche est confortée par l’application de la trialectique, nouvel outil de la transdisciplinarité, qui vient appuyer la
proposition d’une nouvelle capacité à mettre en oeuvre dans l’éducation pour l’ère planétaire.

Chef-d'œuvre de l'art roman, l'abbatiale de Cluny III marquait l'apogée de l'ordre clunisien. Des études
récentes ont permis de lever le voile sur son grand portail, détruit en 1810 et documenté par une poignée
de représentations graphiques seulement. Le travail sur la composition, l'iconographie et la polychromie
originelle ont donné lieu à une évocation monumentale et à une reconstitution virtuelle, permettant
d'appréhender la monumentalité de l'ensemble.

Proceedings of the 2011 Forum on 'Disasters: prevention and management ' - Churchcare (United Kingdom)
In November 2011 the CCB hosted a forum entitled ''Disasters: prevention and management' at Southwark Cathedral.
Delegates considered disaster planning and recovery, focusing on the challenges posed by wide ranging issues, from fire
and flooding to climate change.
The following notes reflect the discussions and presentations from that day, and provide a good overview of how to protect
your church from disasters, or react to them if they occur.

Unpublished Letters Written by Ernest Hemingway Made Available for the First Time by JFK Library. Boston,
Massachusetts (USA)
The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum today announced that fifteen letters written by Nobel Prize-winning
author Ernest Hemingway to his close friend Gianfranco Ivancich have been made available to scholars. Hemingway met
Ivancich and his sister, Adriana, who became the author’s muse, while visiting Venice in 1949. The letters provide a
glimpse into Hemingway’s life in Cuba and his travels around the world.
The Ernest Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library spans Hemingway’s entire career and
represents ninety percent of existing Hemingway manuscript materials, making the Kennedy Library the world’s principal
center for research on the life and work of Ernest Hemingway.

L'INA (Institut national de l'audiovisuel) et YouTube font la paix - France
L’Institut national de l’audiovisuel (INA) est probablement l'une des banques d’archives audiovisuelles les plus importantes du monde. Des millions d’heures d’émissions télévisées et de
publicités témoignant de l’évolution de la société française. Un répertoire incroyable qui attire des
millions de visiteurs chaque mois sur le site. Un chiffre toutefois modeste comparé au roi de la
plateforme vidéo sur Internet : YouTube.
À la fin de 2006, l’Institut poursuivit les propriétaires de You Tube parce qu’ils n’avaient pas mis
en place de système de traçage des vidéos de l’INA. Ainsi, certaines vidéos furent téléversées sans
l’accord de l’institution. Trois ans plus tard, le tribunal de grande instance de Créteil oblige YouTube à verser 150 000
euros de dommages et intérêts à l’INA. Pourtant, 2 ans après le règlement du litige, l’INA s’associe avec le géant de la
vidéo en ligne et va y déposer près de 57 000 vidéos qui seront "watermarkées" (tatouées numériquement), évitant donc
la mise en ligne de vidéos violant ses droits. Ces contenus seront organisés en chaînes thématiques et montreront des
événements marquants, tels que le Tour de France ou le Festival de Cannes.

Mort de la version papier de l'Encyclopaedia Britannica : le coupable court toujours
Le 13 mars 2012, un drame eut lieu chez l'éditeur de l'Encyclopaedia Britannica. La plus
vieille et prestigieuse institution encyclopédique venait de mourir. Dans le hall, gisait le
cadavre encore chaud de l’édition papier 2012. Le coroner confirma le décès à son arrivée.
Une tradition de 244 ans s’éteignait soudainement. Certes, son pouvoir dans la compagnie
n’était plus aussi grand que quelques années auparavant. Les responsables de Britannica
admettaient qu’elle ne représentait plus que 1% des ventes, la majorité des revenus
provenant désormais des services éducatifs offerts aux écoles et de l’édition numérique de
ladite encyclopédie (15% des revenus).
Dès que la nouvelle fut connue, l'opinion publique commença à s'interroger : qui avait osé commettre un meurtre aussi
horrible ? Ne voulait-on pas faire taire les 4000 experts chargés de l'édition de la vieille Anglaise ? Qu'allaient devenir les
écoles et bibliothèques sans accès à Internet ? Et pouvait-on redouter un sort semblable pour tous les livres imprimés dans
un futur proche ? Une enquête, menée sur la toile par les plus fins connaisseurs de l'édition, fut engagée.

New Bus Shelter in Cornwall Uses Traditional Skills and Materials
We were approached by Cornwall County Council to construct and design a bus shelter that
would represent building with vernacular Cornish building materials. The head of
conservation, Andrew Richards, met up with us to discuss the possibility and he was very
supportive of us building with simple natural materials. We decided to utilise only local
building materials, local stone for base, local clays, sands and straw for the cob, cornish oak
for frame and recycled Delabole slate for the scantle slate.

La Directora general de la UNESCO preocupada por la situación en Mali
En respuesta a los recientes acontecimientos al norte de Mali, la Directora general expresa su
profunda preocupación en cuanto a las posibles consecuencias del conflicto armado,
actualmente en curso, sobre los inestimables bienes culturales del Patrimonio mundial situados
en Tombuctú y en Gao. La toma reciente de estas dos ciudades por la rebelión Tuareg podría
tener efectos dañinos para la gestión y la conservación de las 3 mezquitas y de los 16
mausoleos de Tombuctú, así como de la Tumba de Askia en Gao.
La Directora general pide a todos los beligerantes garantizar la protección de estas dos joyas
del patrimonio, a las cuales la comunidad internacional y la UNESCO conceden una importancia muy grande, como lo
atestigua su inscripción sobre la Lista del patrimonio mundial.
Tombuctú y sus 3 grandes mezquitas testimonian la edad de oro de la capital intelectual y espiritual en el siglo XV. Estas
mezquitas desempeñaron un papel esencial en la difusión del Islam en África. Son portadoras de la identidad y de la
dignidad de todo un pueblo.

Universidades americanas: una clasificación prácticamente sin cambios pero con inquietudes en cuanto a la
economía del sistema universitario - USA
Harvard tiene la mejor facultad de comercio de los Estados Unidos, y la mejor facultad de ingeniería, el MIT. Son los
resultados de un estudio de U.S. News y de World Report [1] publicado a mediados de marzo, que clasifica las
universidades americanas según sus facultades. Como la inmensa mayoría de otras clasificaciones, ésta está establecida de
una parte según la opinión de expertos sobre la calidad de la enseñanza, y por otra parte sobre los indicios estadísticos en
cuanto a la investigación, la tasa de empleo de los estudiantes a su salida, el salario medio, etc... Pero el interés de este
estudio reside en el hecho que no aborda las instituciones universitarias en su conjunto, todas las disciplinas (ciencias,
ingeniería, SHS, etc.) y las actividades combinadas (enseñanza, investigación y valorización industrial). El estudio
considera en efecto las universidades americanas según sus facultades (" school "). Como es sabido, de una institución a
otra, todas las facultades no son iguales. Además, la inmensa mayoría de ellas funcionan de modo muy autónomo en
cuanto a su contratación (profesores, estudiantes), a su investigación o a sus relaciones con la industria …

Languages and humanities courses axed as cuts force universities to prioritise - The Netherlands
The Netherlands is to lose 30 small courses in the humanities in their current form, including the only Portuguese
programme in the country, because of budget cuts and government requests for universities to focus on specific
geographic areas or sets of languages.
All universities have been hit by cuts in government funding and as a result several have cancelled small and expensive
courses in the humanities. Some will become part of a broader bachelor programme; many will be dropped altogether.

Reputation of United Kingdom universities slips as East catches up
The United Kingdom’s reputation as a centre of excellence for university education second only to the United States is
beginning to slip and could be falling victim to the impact of government policies, the results of Times Higher Education’s
2012 World Reputation Rankings suggest. Meanwhile Asian universities are on the rise.
Published on 15 March, the magazine’s annual reputation rankings, which complement its World University Rankings, are
based on the world’s largest survey of academic opinion.
While the UK has 10 universities in the top 100 (second only to the US, with 44) it has two fewer than in 2011. Both
Cambridge (3rd) and Oxford (6th) are still in the top six international super-group, but some of the country's historically
strongest universities have slipped in esteem…

We are ready to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Conference on
Sustainable Development (UNCSD) Rio+20 starting from June 20-22, 2012 in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, the same city that hosted the largest ever environmental conference
- the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), June 314, 1992. This conference is expected to review progresses made in the
environmental sector in the last two decades, identify development gaps, note new
challenges that have emerged over the past two decades, and develop a way
forward for the next few decades.

La Meilleure Ecole du Monde, à l'Institut Finlandais de Paris - France
La Meilleure Ecole du Monde. Voilà qui fait autant rêver que rend jaloux. Les enseignants
français le savent bien, la Finlande est à l'éducation ce que Las Vegas est aux joueurs de
roulette. Cette école exemplaire s'est distinguée dans le monde en obtenant en 2003 de
remarquables résultats à l'enquête PISA de l'OCDE et fait désormais rêver les enseignants du
monde entier. Aujourd'hui, l'Institut Finlandais à Paris propose une exposition expliquant la
réussite finlandaise du point de vue de l'architecture des écoles. Depuis les années 2000, des
architectes finlandais dessinent une école en adéquation avec la philosophie éducative du pays.
A savoir, un espace modulable, ouvert sur l'extérieur, confortable, lumineux, sans stress et surtout adapté aux différentes
tranches d'âges regroupées en un lieu. L'école finlandaise peut accueillir les enfants de 7 à 19 ans !

giovane curatrice aquilana, Martina Sconci, per cercare di capire quale è in questo momento lo
stato della cultura in una città che è stata terribilmente colpita e lacerata nella sua totalità, ma
che tuttavia cerca di reagire anche attraverso la ricostruzione di nuovi spazi di aggregazione

Le Manuel enseignant sur Les Fortifications de Vauban (France) - Lectures du passé, regards
pour demain,récompensé par Europa Nostra et l'Union européenne
À destination des enseignants du primaire et du collège, le manuel Les fortifications de Vauban. Lectures du
passé, regards pour demain allie contenus scientifiques, fiches pédagogiques et supports didactiques. Il
participe ainsi à l’objectif de transmettre les valeurs des fortifications de Vauban aux générations futures,
patrimoine dont la valeur universelle exceptionnelle a été reconnue par L’UNESCO. Le Réseau des sites
majeurs de Vauban a réalisé ce projet en réunissant de nombreuses compétences : experts scientifiques,
professeurs à l’IUFM et médiateurs, garantissant ainsi la rédaction d’un discours complet et utilisable en
classe ou en atelier sur site.
Cette approche pluridisciplinaire s’inscrit en lien avec les programmes scolaires, et les thématiques abordées offrent aux
enseignants des clés de lecture pour sensibiliser leurs élèves à la valorisation des fortifications et à leur nécessaire
protection. Chaque école et collège du Réseau Vauban a reçu un exemplaire de ce manuel, dont la réalisation a été
soutenue par la Fondation EDF Diversiterre.

Atlas mondial de l'égalité des genres dans l'éducation
Cartes © Collins Bartholomew Ltd 2012
ISBN 978-92-3-204232-3
Pour marquer la Journée internationale des femmes, l’UNESCO a publiél'Atlas mondial de l’égalité des
genres dans l’éducation, qui comprend plus de 120 cartes, graphiques et tableaux présentant un large
éventail d’indicateurs ventilés par sexe produits par l’ISU.
L’attrayante présentation des informations et leur analyse attirent l’attention sur la persistance de
disparités entre les sexes et sur la nécessité de prêter une plus grande attention à l’éducation des filles,
qui est un droit humain et un catalyseur du développement.
L’atlas illustre les parcours éducatifs des filles et des garçons ainsi que l’évolution, au fil du temps, des disparités entre les
sexes. Il scrute l’impact sur la question des genres de facteurs fondamentaux tels que les richesses nationales, la situation
géographique, l’investissement dans l’éducation et les domaines d’étude.

Asian Development Bank Report: Counting the Cost: Financing Asian Higher Education for
Inclusive Growth
ISBN: 978-92-9092-579-8
Published in 2012
A new report by the Asian Development Bank has raised serious questions about the “massification” and
privatisation of higher education in the Asia-Pacific, asserting that rising costs and higher fees will further
favour the rich and exacerbate the region’s rich-poor income gap. That, in turn could lead to other
downstream problems such as worsening social and political tensions, and in a worst case scenario,
armed conflict.
The report will have a major food-for-thought impact on one of the most important current trends in international travel –
the intense competition amongst many countries to attract well-heeled students to their shores. Its approach and
conclusions also need to be studied by the medical tourism fraternity, which is also facing identical issues in its pursuit of
rich patients with scant attention being made to the downstream, long-term impact on medical costs for the poor.

The UNESCO Youth Forum: celebrating a decade of youth participation
© UNESCO 2011
ISBN 978-92-3-001015-7
This publication takes stock of the 6th UNESCO Youth Forum, which marked the tenth year of this
unique youth participation process, and the follow-up action towards the 7th UNESCO Youth Forum in
2011. It provides an overview of the UNESCO Youth Forum process and a history of the development
of the Youth Forum since its creation in 1999. It then details the preparations and the proceedings of
the 6th Youth Forum. Finally it looks to the follow-up of the Forum and to the opportunities for future
development.
The publication is also intended to present the ways in which the Youth Forum has evolved through targeted innovations
and a stronger follow-up process. It also seeks to recognize the cross-sectoral work which is key in the Youth Forum
process, by giving credit to all those, both within the Organization and externally, who supported and participated in the
Forum. It also builds the case for improved follow-up action and for a joint follow-up process linking the Youth Forum to
other global and regional youth events.

Compendio mundial de la educación 2009: comparación de las estadísticas de educación en el

Publicado en 2009 por el Instituto de Estadística de la UNESCO
Recientemente se conocieron dos informes que presentan datos sobre la educación superior mundial y
nacional. El primero de ellos es el informe de UNESCO titulado “Compendio mundial de la educación
2009. Comparación de las estadísticas en el mundo”, el cual establece que en el periodo 1970-2007 los
estudiantes que optaron por la educación terciaria se quintuplicaron pasando de 28.6 a 152.5 millones de
estudiantes. Esto implica que la tasa promedio anual de matrícula aumentó a razón de 4.6% o, en otras palabras, que la
población en educación terciaria se duplica cada 15 años en el mundo. Para este mismo periodo, América Latina y el Caribe
aumentó 10 veces el número de estudiantes elevándose a 17.8 millones en 2007. En esta región a partir del año 2000,
tasa anual promedio de crecimiento de estudiantes fue de 6.8%.

La théorie de la viabilité au service de la modélisation mathématique du développement durable. Application
au cas de la forêt humide de Madagascar
By Claire Bernard
Le développement durable, défini à l'origine comme un mode de développement qui répond aux besoins du présent sans
compromettre la capacité des générations futures à répondre aux leurs, souffre aujourd'hui des limites de cette définition.
On dénombre en effet des centaines de définitions rendant le concept flou au point que mesures politiques et économiques
les plus diverses se revendiquent durables.L'objectif de cette thèse est de modéliser le développement durable à l'aide des
outils mathématiques de la théorie de la viabilité et de rendre sa définition opérationnelle. La théorie de la viabilité permet
en effet d'intégrer les principales caractéristiques d'un développement durable : l'approche multi-objectifs, la prise en
compte d'un horizon temporel infini, la possibilité de déterminer plusieurs politiques d'actions viables et le respect de
l'équité intergénérationnelle…

Herakles Farm - Eleven Scientists's open letter against massive palm oil plantation in
Bosques
Cameroon's rainforest
Eleven top scientists have slammed a proposed palm oil plantation in a Cameroonian rainforest
surrounded by five protected areas. In an open letter, the researchers allege that Herakles
Farm, which proposes the 70,000 hectare plantation in southwest Cameroon, has misled the
government about the state of the forest to be cleared and has violated rules set by the
Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), of which it's a member. The scientists, many of
whom are considered leaders in their field, argue that the plantation will destroy rich forests,
imperil endangered species, and sow conflict with local people...

Ecotourism secures the Russian Federation's forests
Bezhanitsky district in North-Western Russia is just a three-hour drive from the EU border. It
hosts the largest peat bog in Europe and many unique forest and wetland landscapes.
Following the introduction of new regional forest legislation in 2006, legal timber harvesting
became unprofitable here and the incomes of local people dropped. IUCN was then approached
by the local authorities to help identify alternative income sources that would safeguard the
rights of local people to access forest resources.

Don't cut trees, keep bees! - Georgia
In Georgia, where IUCN is helping rural people find alternative livelihoods to illegal logging, it’s
finding that there is great enthusiasm for bee keeping and honey production as a new business
venture.
The villagers of Tadzrisi and Sakire in Borjomi district were heavily dependent on forest
resources and suffered from a government crackdown on illegal logging. The area was logged
heavily in the 1990s and the signs of deforestation are clearly visible.
Last year, five farmers from the two villages were each given a bee colony and a hive to help
start their own honey production business. They were the top candidates in a special training workshop that was given.

Se puede seguir la pista del “dinero sucio” procedente de la explotación maderera ilegal y confiscarlo, señala
el Banco Mundial
Cada dos segundos, los responsables de la explotación maderera ilegal talan en el mundo una extensión de bosque del
tamaño de un campo de fútbol. Un nuevo informe del Banco Mundial publicado hoy muestra cómo los países pueden
combatir eficazmente la explotación maderera ilegal mediante el sistema de justicia penal, el castigo del crimen organizado
y el seguimiento y la confiscación de los beneficios de esta actividad ilegal.
El informe, Justicia para los bosques: Mejora de las iniciativas de justicia penal para combatir la explotación maderera
ilegal, afirma que, para ser eficaz, la aplicación de la ley debe mirar más allá de los delincuentes de poca monta y observar
a dónde van los beneficios de esta actividad ilegal. Mediante el seguimiento de la pista del dinero y el uso de los
instrumentos desarrollados en más de 170 países para ir a la caza del “dinero sucio”, la justicia penal puede perseguir a
organizaciones criminales involucradas en la explotación maderera ilegal a gran escala y confiscar los beneficios obtenidos

Aventure boréale - l'exploitation forestière - Un site pédagogique de qualité
supérieure
Le RÉCIT (Réseau pour le développement des Compétences par l’Intégration des
technologies) de l’univers social propose une situation d’apprentissage sur l’exploitation
forestière sous la forme d’un site internet avec une trame narrative : Aventure boréale l’exploitation forestière.
L’étudiant se mêle d’exploitation forestière au travers des aventures de Robin Dubois. Robin
est un étudiant qui a trouvé un travail d’été comme planteur d’arbres en Abitibi. À son
retour à l’automne, il sera un citoyen transformé...
... tout comme l’étudiant ou la classe à qui il viendrait à l’idée de suivre ses traces.
La présentation est soignée, les ressources nombreuses et variées, le parcours peut se faire de plusieurs façons et surtout
le traitement de la question ne tombe pas dans le parti-pris ni la facilité.
Évidemment l’exploitation des ressources à ce rythme et pour ces finalités ne peut continuer comme ça encore très
longtemps, mais on a plus qu’une responsabilité mineure dans le pillage et la transformation des ressources en produits de
consommation plus ou moins éphémères. À utiliser sans restriction, le site, pas le papier, pour son contenu et comme
modèle didactique :

A l'aide de deux Google Trikes équipées de caméras à 360°, l'un sur l'eau l'autre sur terre, Google a entrepris de filmer
l'Amazonie afin de montrer dans Google Earth la biodiversité de la forêt tropicale. Les images devraient être accessibles
d'ici à trois mois sur Google Earth.
Google a donc fait fabriquer un bateau équipé d'un mat sur lequel est accroché une caméra. L'autre caméra est véhiculée
sur un vélo. Le périple des deux engins a commencé à Tumbira, au nord du Brésil.

Justice for Forests: Improving Criminal Justice Efforts to Combat Illegal Logging World Bank
Report
By Marilyne Pereira Goncalves, Melissa Panjer, Theodore S. Greenberg, and William B. Magrath. World
Bank, March 2012.
Large-scale illegal logging operations are often linked to transnational organized criminal networks that
rely on high-level corruption, intimidation, and violence. In some countries, as much as 90 percent of
logging is illegal, threatening biodiversity, livelihoods, and economic development. States can better use
existing information on business transactions collected by financial institutions to increase understanding
of these logging networks and strengthen criminal investigations of offenders.

Acuario de Olms (peces humanos) en la Cueva de Postojna / Studio Stratum - 2010
- Postojna - Eslovenia
El propósito de este proyecto fue diseñar un nuevo acuario con las condiciones adecuadas
para mantener a los peces humanos (Proteus anguinus) disponibles para mostrar al público.
Cuando se desarrolló el diseño fue necesario tener en consideración su construcción manual
y ajustar en consecuencia el tamaño de las piezas individuales para poder ser transportadas
a la cueva con el tren que hay en ella. El proyecto fue un precedente para otras
intervenciones similares dentro de cuevas.

Boundaries Review n°3 - Architecture of Peace
Boundaries. Rivista Internazionale di Architettura Contemporanea e l'Ordine degli Architetti P.P.C. di Roma e Provincia sono
lieti di invitarvi alla presentazione della rivista che si terrà presso la Casa dell'Architettura,piazza Manfredo Fanti 47, Roma.
mercoledì 21 marzo 2012, alle ore 17.30.
Sarà presentato in anteprima il terzo numero della rivista (gennaio-marzo 2012) dedicato al tema delle «Architetture di
pace». «La pace è un po’ come una città, la si costruisce pezzo per pezzo», commenta Renzo Piano in un’intervista
concessa in esclusiva a Boundaries nel febbraio 2012 e pubblicata in questo numero. Il corso intricato della storia ci ricorda
come la pace sia un’invenzione dell’uomo, una paziente, continua costruzione. Ed è, appunto, il valore della costruzione
come momento di condivisione che i progetti presentati promuovono.

Cultural Heritage, Ethics, and the Military
Edited by Peter G. Stone
ISSN: 1756-4832
The world reacted with horror to the images of the looting of the National Museum in Iraq in 2003 - closely
followed by other museums and then, largely unchecked, or archaeological sites across the country. This
outcome had been predicted by many archaeologists, with some offering to work directly with the military
to identify museums and sites to be avoided and protected. However, this work has since been heavily
criticised by others working in the field, who claim that such collaboration lended a legitimacy to the
invasion. It has therefore served to focus on the broader issue of whether archaeologists and other cultural heritage
experts should ever work with the military, and, if so, under what guidelines and strictures…

Dopo l'asta, il ritorno agli antichi fasti per la Reggia di Carditello (Italy)
Una delle meravigliose regge che il meridione può vantare, nelle cui sale riecheggiano
ancora i fasti e la storia di epoche passate, è stata abbandonata all’incuria del tempo e alla
razzia dei vandali: è la Real tenuta di Carditello, elegante dimora neoclassica progettata
dall’architetto Francesco Collecini, della scuola vanvitelliana, per volere di Carlo di Borbone.
Lo splendido palazzo, con i suoi ettari di tenuta, si erge nella pianura tra Napoli e Caserta,
in luoghi un tempo ameni per la natura rigogliosa e genuina, dove trovava fertile terreno
la pianta del cardo, da cui il nome della reggia.
Di acqua nel vicino fiume Volturno ne è però passata da quando la Reggia di Carditello ospitava Ferdinando IV, che vi avviò
un’organizzata azienda agricola, per poi divenire nell’Italia unita proprietà della famiglia reale dei Savoia…

United Kingdom National Statistics - Experience of Museums in Northern Ireland Findings from the Continuous
Household Survey 2008/09 DCAL Research Findings
There are two main types of tourism that impact the UK economy: international and domestic tourism.
International tourism looks at trends in overseas residents travelling to the UK, and UK residents travelling abroad. This is
analysed by region/destination and visitor spend using the International Passenger Survey (IPS). Carried out by the Office
for National Statistics (ONS), data are used to compile travel accounts of the balance of payments, estimate the numbers
and characteristics of migrants into and out of the UK, and to provide information on international tourism.

Imu (Imposta municipale unica) per molti ma non per tutti
Tempi duri per i contribuenti italiani. Al fine di risanare debito pubblico e casse vuote degli enti
locali il governo tecnico ha ripristinato la tassazione sulla fonte di investimento preferita dagli
italiani: il mattone. L’IMU, imposta municipale unica, perno fondamentale dell’ultima manovra
finanziaria, sostituirà sia la vecchia Ici che l’Irpef sui redditi fondiari e graverà su tutti i beni
immobili, sia prime che seconde abitazioni. E così in attesa della stangata annunciata per
l’estate, hanno iniziato a fare i conti anche i proprietari delle ville e dei castelli patrizi
disseminati per tutta la penisola. E il risultato dei conteggi non è stato molto gradito: qualora
l’imposta venisse calcolata e applicata con le disposizioni attuali, l’aumento delle tariffe per i proprietari di questi fabbricati
sarebbe del 600%. Le polemiche da parte dell’Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane, che riunisce tutti i possessori di ville e
palazzi nobiliari, non si sono fatte attendere e per bocca del presidente dell’associazione, Moroello Diaz della Vittoria
Pallavicini, hanno espresso la loro posizione molto chiaramente: richiedere una revisione delle misure da applicare e il
rinnovo dei trattamenti differenziati di cui i possessori dei palazzi patrizi hanno beneficiato sino ad oggi.

Un gène de sapin pour remplacer l'ambre gris de cachalots dans les parfums ?
Selon des travaux menés par des chercheurs canadiens, un gène extrait du génome de sapin baumier
et introduit dans des levures pourrait permettre de remplacer l'ambre gris, tiré des cachalots et utilisé
en parfumerie.
Cela fait des siècles aujourd'hui que l'ambre gris est commercialisé en Europe et utilisé dans la
fabrication des parfums. Mais sous cette appellation quelque peu "poétique" se cache en fait une
substance qui l'est moins. En effet, l'ambre gris est une concrétion intestinale de cachalot. Autrement
dit, elle provient d'une réaction entre les sécrétions biliaires du cétacés et les aliments qu'il a ingéré.
Autrefois, on la récoltait sur les plages ou flottant sur les vagues. Dans le classique "Moby Dick", Herman Melville décrit
ainsi déjà la récolte de ce produit légendaire sur les côtes des océans.

Treizièmes Rencontres du Réseau des Grands Sites de France (RGSF) - Place et organisation des activités
commerciales sur les Grands Sites (Iles Sanguinaires, Pointe de la Parata, Ajaccio, Corse, France, Octobre
2011)
Les activités commerciales présentes sur les Grands Sites sont nombreuses et de nature très diverse. Du fait de la forte
attractivité des sites, ces activités sont pour l'essentiel à caractère touristique : services aux visiteurs, hébergement,
restauration, vente de souvenirs, activités de découverte, visites guidées, manifestations culturelles ou de nature, etc.
Ces activités répondent à des besoins, participent de la vie des Grands Sites, et génèrent une économie locale pour les
territoires. Mais elles peuvent aussi entrer en contradiction avec les valeurs portées par les Grands Sites : conflits avec les
exigences de la préservation paysagère et patrimoniale, avec le niveau de qualité d'accueil, avec les valeurs du
développement durable.

Cost to pack California state park artifacts will cut savings - California - USA
Shuttering dozens of California state parks to trim millions from the state budget will take more than simply hanging a
"Closed" sign on trailheads and beach parking lots. Many on the closure list house thousands of historical treasures that
must be packed up, catalogued and stored if deals are not reached to save them. The tens of thousands of items on public
display paint a rich portrait of California's past. Among them are rare crystalline gold nuggets at the California Mining and
Minerals Museum in Mariposa, painting masterworks showing early 20th century San Francisco street scenes and coastal
landscapes at Shasta State Historical Park, and the writer Jack London's home and writing memorabilia in Sonoma County.

The project, which began in January and will continue through 2014, will digitize documents from the Thomas Addis Emmet

English Heritage Commentary on the National Planning Policy Framework - England (United Kingdom)
English Heritage is very pleased to have worked closely with the Government on the National Planning Policy Framework
(NPPF) to secure a positive result for heritage and sustainable development. We believe that the level of protection that
PPS5 gave to heritage has been maintained in the NPPF.
This will allow heritage to continue to play a central role in long-term sustainable growth in England. As there have been a
number of changes to the wording we will of course want to monitor the outcome of planning decisions to ensure that the
NPPF works in the way Government intends.

Dans la continuité de son premier ouvrage sur la mondialisation (Science et conscience de la mondialisation,
L’Harmattan, 2006), Isabelle Hannequart, maître de conférences en droit public et membre du GERCIE/
Groupe d’Etude et de Recherche sur la coopération internationale et européenne de l’Université FrançoisRabelais de Tours, se focalise sur l’enjeu culturel de la mondialisation. Il ne s’agit pas d’un enjeu parmi
d’autres, mais de l’enjeu crucial d’une planétisation à la croisée de la mondialisation plurielle et de la globalisation
uniformisante.

Seminario "Il governo dei territori di bonifica tra naturalità ed antropizzazione" - Mantova - Italy (12 April
2012)
I territori che sono stati sottoposti a Politecnico di Milano bonifica idraulica sono un cospicuo patrimonio dell’Italia che va,
ad ogni costo, conservato e difeso dalle minacce che incombono.
Lo sviluppo delle attività extragricole e il rapido aumento dell’urbanizzazione si manifestano con particolare virulenza in
prossimità di
quasi tutti i comprensori di bonifica, sottraendo alle destinazioni, per le quali le bonifiche sono state realizzate, aree di
notevole estensione.
La complessità del paesaggio della bonifica, spesso sottovalutata, implica numerose difficoltà nella gestione e nella
progettazione, nel momento in cui si intende apportare a questo tipo di territorio trasformazioni d’uso.
A questo scopo, il seminario si propone di mettere in luce le problematiche e le opportunità di questi territori e mediante
l’ausilio di casi studio, di sperimentare strumenti di analisi, metodologie interpretative e di progetto, utili a definire delle
“linee guida” per la progettazione e lo sviluppo dei paesaggi di bonifica.
L’incontro è promosso dal Laboratorio di Pianificazione Ambientale, nell’ambito delle attività seminariali del Politecnico di
Milano Polo Territoriale di Mantova.

Mercado de Arriaga en peligro de demolición - México
Estimados amigos.
El mercado Belisario Dominguez en Arriaga Chiapas, fue construido en 1970, su capacidad es de 130 locatarios. La
característica mas sobresaliente son 24 estructuras de concreto de los denominados "paraguas" de borde recto y área
rectangular, colocados a diferentes alturas, alternados como en juego de damero, permitiendo ventilación e iluminación
por los costados de los mismos. Y es que el perimetro del mercado esta rodeado por un muro de piedra en talud que solo
permite cuatro accesos, dicho muro esta construido con piedra local extraída de un río cercano.
En los archivos del municipio de Arriaga, no hemos podido encontrar mayor documentación sigue pendiente el nombre del
arquitecto proyectista, lo que si es un hecho es que la DEMOLICIÓN DEL MERCADO, está siendo programada, para
construir otro, en el mismo lugar, pero con una capacidad mayor.
Actualmente, los locatarios siguen ahí y no hay fecha para el desalojo, sin embargo, el gobierno del estado ya tiene un
"dictamen estructural" que avala la demolición.
Así las cosas pido de la manera mas atenta el apoyo de DOCOMOMO, para conminar a las autoridades para hacer notar el
valor del inmueble, que justifique la revisión del actual proyecto, para así poder rescatar este, a mi juicio muy valioso
edificio.
Cualquier carta o petición deberá ir dirigida directamente al C. GOBERNADOR LIC. JUAN SABINES GUERRERO. con copia al
Ing. FRANCISCO LOPEZ GARCIA, DELEGADO REGIONAL DE INFRAESTRUCTURA DEL GOBIERNO DEL ESTADO DE CHIAPAS.
Saludos cordiales.

AWARDS - Award for Urban Wetland Planning in France
Many wetlands in urban and peri-urban environments are or are becoming degraded due to
surrounding populations, pollution and poorly managed waste, among other factors. As a
consequence, the ecosystem services that urban wetlands can provide have diminished and
it is therefore essential for both decision-makers and urban communities to recognize their
value and importance…

Symposium - Taking ownership of the city: "Becoming together" from urban heritage to cultural
landscape - Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal & Complexe des sciences Pierre-Dansereau.
Montréal (Canada) 16 - 18 April 2012
Les 16 et 17 avril au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, Pavillon Claire et Marc Bourgie (1339 rue
Sherbrooke Ouest) et le 18 avril 2012, au Complexe des sciences Pierre-Dansereau de l’Université du
Québec à Montréal (SH-2800, 200 rue Sherbrooke Ouest), se tiendra le colloque « [S']Approprier la ville. Le
devenir-ensemble, du patrimoine urbain aux paysages culturels ».
Ce colloque international invite le public, les chercheurs sur la ville, ses identités et ses sociétés, les
professionnels de l'urbanisme et des milieux culturels à discuter des effets de la métropolisation sur la capacité de sens du
paysage construit et à penser comment peut s'aménager l'appartenance et le vivre-ensemble dans un milieu intégrateur et
représentatif des citoyens d'aujourd'hui et de demain. Une ville peut-elle encore être plus scandinave, plus française, plus
espagnole ? Ou plus montréalaise, plus londonienne, plus parisienne ? Il s’agit, en d’autres mots, de réfléchir de concert au
devenir-ensemble et à l'avenir du génie du lieu.

NEW TOPIC IN THE REVIEW EDA : Utopic cities: theory and planning
by Claudia Lamberti, University of Pise
Designing a city has always been a program of the social and political relationships among men that will dwell it. The laws
of the several rulers were turned into ideal cities, "carved in stone words", as Piero Pierotti said. Since ancient times, when
cities were meant to be the living place of both gods and men, the architect's imagination and the commitment's purpose
worked together to build new settlements. The word "utopia" was born in Greece, but it reached its climax within urban
planning during Humanism and Renaissance: since Filarete's and Francesco di Giorgio Martini's projects, until Thomas
More's emblematic book and the writings of such philosophers as Tommaso Campanella, that was "the Age of ideal cities".

Scotland's survey and preservation initiatives for Post-War Sites and Monuments, 19852012
Throughout the twentieth century in Scotland there has been a recurring tension between the
aspirations to widen the scope of heritage to embrace more and more of the built environment
and cultural landscape, and the practical reality of extending preservation that far. This first came
into focus with Industrial Archaeology in the mid-to-late 1980s, when Scotland’s vanishing
traditional nineteenth and twentieth century heavy industries became a heritage concern.

Albi Major Theatre / Dominique Perrault Architecture - 2011-2013 - France
The winning proposal for the Albi Major Theatre, designed by Dominique Perrault
Architecture, aims at transforming the texture of the city as well as its cultural
influence. Appearing as an outstanding architectural symbol, on the outskirts of the
historic center, the architects gave priority to the presence of the Major Theatre
instead of the cinemas, in order to organize around it a network of public spaces and
of cultural facilities. Therefore, the Major Theatre will be its center.

Les villes africaines et leurs patrimoines (Séminaire du 11 octobre 2011)
Editeur : Riveneuve éditions (15 mars 2012)
ISBN-13: 978-2360130887
Après le séminaire de 2010 sur les « Patrimoines oubliés de l’Afrique » (publié par Riveneuve
éditions), le séminaire de 2011 qui a eu lieu en octobre au musée du quai Branly, s’intéressait au «
Patrimoine des villes africaines ».
Le thème des villes africaines et de leurs patrimoines débouche sur de multiples questions : Pourquoi
protéger le patrimoine des villes africaines ? Quel patrimoine faut-il protéger ? Que gagne-t-on en les
protégeant ?
Ville traditionnelle ou ville coloniale, les villes ont une valeur patrimoniale spécifiquement africaine qui doit être valorisée
en raison de leur valeur économique. La destruction des centres historiques constitue une double perte pour la collectivité,
au niveau de sa mémoire mais également en raison de perte de ressources économiques.
On ne peut également ignorer l’impact du patrimoine culturel dans le développement local. Le tourisme patrimonial en est
une illustration tout comme un artisanat ancré au plus prés des traditions.
Cet ouvrage aborde tour à tour les villes et leurs centres historiques, les villes et les savoirs faire patrimoniaux, les villes et
les patrimoines immatériels.

Città portuali del mediterraneo - Luoghi di scambio e di commercio nelle città storiche
Teresa Colletta
ISBN 978-88-568-4419-1
Gli studi sulle presenze “straniere” e sui luoghi di scambio e di commercio nelle città storiche interessano
oggi non solamente gli storici istituzionali e dell’economia, ma anche gli storici dell’urbanistica, attenti ai
fenomeni di trasformazione urbana nelle città dell’Europa mediterranea. Il volume si concentra sulle città
portuali, da sempre di grande attenzione per i loro continui scambi di merci e di attività mercantili e per la
stabile presenza di colonie commerciali “straniere” ed indaga con i contributi di studiosi e ricercatori di
differenti università italiane e francesi, sulla storia urbana delle città costiere del Mediterraneo, della Francia e dell’Italia
meridionale attive nei traffici del commercio tra Oriente ed Occidente.

Writing About Architecture
By Alexandra Lange
Editor: Princeton Architectural Press - 2012
ISBN: 978-1616890537
We recently received a book we wished we had earlier, Writing About Architecture. Lange’s book pulls
from “lessons learned from her courses at New York University and the School of Visual Arts.” ”The
book offers works by some of the best architecture critics of the twentieth century including Ada
Louise Huxtable, Lewis Mumford, Herbert Muschamp, Michael Sorkin, Charles Moore, Frederick Law
Olmsted, and Jane Jacobs to explains some of the most successful methods with which to approach architectural criticism.”
The book “could serve as the primary text for a course on criticism for undergraduates or architecture and design majors.”
We here at ArchDaily are now using it as a resource.

Démantèlement d'un important réseau de trafiquants d'antiquités en Grèce
Les 4 et 5 mars 2012, la police nationale grecque a mené avec succès une vaste opération
couvrant 13 préfectures, qui a permis de démonter une importante filière de trafic d’antiquités.
La police a indiqué dans un communiqué que « plus de huit mille pièces de monnaie de toutes
formes, principalement en bronze, allant du sixième siècle avant Jésus Christ à l'époque
byzantine, ont été trouvées ». Parmi les objets de valeur considérable qui ont été récupérés lors
des perquisitions dans le Nord du pays figurent une pièce à l’effigie du roi Philippe de

Museo Getty devuelve antigüedades a Grecia
Tres antiguos fragmentos de mármol de la colección del Museo J. Paul Getty en Los Angeles han sido
repatriados a Grecia en honor a un acuerdo alcanzado el año pasado.
Dos de las piezas de 2.400 años de antigüedad pertenecen a la misma lápida rota decorada con esculturas
de alivio, y se unirán a una tercera sección en un museo griego, dijo el ministerio de Cultura en un
comunicado.
El Getty también devolvió una losa inscrita relacionada con un festival religioso.
Los fragmentos del siglo V a.C. arribaron a Atenas el viernes. Grecia está considerando la posibilidad de
concederle en préstamo una antigua inscripción griega al Getty en retorno.
En años recientes, el Getty ha repatriado a Atenas otros cuatro importantes trabajos antiguos, incluyendo una corona de
oro que presuntamente fue excavada de manera ilegal en el norte de Grecia.
La mayoría de las antigüedades griegas exhibidas en museos alrededor del mundo son de procedencia incierta.

Greek policemen recover ancient illegally excavated marble statue from goat pen
Greek police recovered an ancient statue that was illegally excavated and hidden in a goat
pen near Athens, and arrested the goat herder and another man who were allegedly trying
to sell the work for €500,000 ($667,000). The marble statue of a young woman dates to
about 520 B.C. and belongs to the kore type, a police statement said Wednesday. Police
photos showed the 1.2-meter (4-foot) work to be largely intact, lacking the left forearm and
plinth. Although dozens of examples of the kore statue and its male equivalent, the kouros,
are displayed in Greek and foreign museums, the type is considered very important in the
development and understanding of Greek art. New discoveries in good condition are uncommon.

reconstruyeron el organigrama de una asociación de malhechores acusada de haber robado ya 29 lienzos en diferentes
palacios de la Ciudad de los Duxes. Según la AFP, cuatro individuos han sido detenidos. El cerebro de la organización,

Connecticut man knows something about stolen art from Isabella Stewart Gardner
Museum - Boston - Massachusetts - USA
It remains the largest art heist in history, a brazen robbery in which two thieves disguised as
police officers walked into Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, disabled two guards
and stole masterworks worth more than half a billion dollars. The 1990 robbery and the
recovery of the paintings have puzzled investigators for more than two decades. Now federal
authorities appear to be pinning some hope of solving the mystery on a 75-year-old reputed
mobster from Connecticut, Robert Gentile, who is jailed in a drug case.
Sicily aims to make more of the Morgantine Venus - Local authorities and tourism
industry seek Euro funds to promote statue returned by US museum (Italy)
In an effort to capitalise on the return of Morgantina Venus to Italian authorities by the Getty
Museum, Los Angeles, local business associations and town councils near Enna in Sicily have
formed a non-profit, public-private organisation called the “Distretto turistico Dea di
Morgantina” (tourist district of the goddess of Morgantina), to coordinate local culture and
tourism initiatives.
They presented their formal request for recognition to the regional authorities in December
2011, and are expecting approval at the end of March, which will pave the way to obtain an EU grant.

Theft of Metal - ChurchCare (United Kingdom)
The number of incidences of metal theft from churches in 2011 rose nearly a third over the 2010 totals, with over 2,500
claims totalling £4.5m. In the past five years Ecclesiastical Insurance have received more than 9,500 claims for metal
theft, at an estimated total cost of almost £27.5m, with over a third of Church of England churches suffering from this
crime (figures supplied by Ecclesiastical Insurance)…

Hands Off Our Church Roofs! - United Kingdom
Churches across the country are being blighted by the theft of lead and copper from their roofs. For criminals keen to cash
in on the high price of scrap metals, places of worship often make an obvious target.
It’s a rapidly growing problem that’s causing untold distress to our parish communities and it’s reaching epidemic
proportions - 2011 was the worst year on record for the number of metal theft claims from churches.
In fact, over the past four years, metal theft claims from churches we insure have now exceeded £25m, with over 9,000
claims.
It’s not just the cost of replacing the materials that is the problem, it’s also the resultant damage - thieves have torn holes
in roofs causing leaks and ripped stonework away from pinnacles and towers…

Respect Our History: End Production of the TV series entitled 'American Digger' and 'Diggers' - Lawyers'
Committee for Cultural Heritage Preservation (USA)
The undersigned institutions join the growing tide of concern about the National Geographic Channel’s new series “Diggers”
and Spike TV’s forthcoming series “American Digger,” both of which are designed to amuse and entertain audiences while
glorifying the indiscriminate destruction of American history by artifact hunters. The teaser advertisement for “American
Digger” gives a good indication of how little the producers of these shows value the historical record; the show aims to
“scour target-rich areas such as battlefields and historic sites, in hopes of striking it rich by unearthing and selling rare
pieces of American history.”…

Federal prosecutors seek to confiscate ancient statue pulled from auction at
Sotheby's - New York City - New York State - USA
Federal prosecutors sought Wednesday to confiscate an ancient statue from Cambodia that
was pulled from auction at Sotheby's in New York, arguing that the 1,000-year-old relic was
stolen from a temple in the South Asian country and illegally imported into the U.S. The U.S.
attorney's office in Manhattan filed court papers seeking to compel Sotheby's to forfeit the
sandstone statue so that it could be returned to Cambodia.

Toledo Museum Celebrates Glass Anniversary - What's old is new again: Original
glass furnace reconstructed - Toledo - Ohio - USA
Fifty years to the day after the first glass furnace fired up at the Toledo Museum of Art,
three artists-in-residence recreated it—brick by brick—to reflect the spirit of early pioneers
of the American Studio glass Movement. “Today, we take the glass furnace and studio for
granted,” said Jeff Mack, TMA’s glass studio manager. “You can walk into a studio with only

Imperial Outpost in the Gulf: The Airfield at Sharjah (United Arab Emirates) 1932-1952
by Nicholas Stanley-Price
ISBN: 978-1846246845
Publisher: Book Guild Limited (29 April 2012)
In 1932 the Sharjah airfield was created out of nothing in the open desert, an overnight stop on Imperial
Airways' route carrying mail and passengers to India and eventually to Australia. The British government
drew upon the RAF's experience in the Middle East to build a fortified rest house there, for fear of possible
attacks from the Beduin. Air travel then was a luxury beyond most people's means. But passengers in
transit praised the comfort of the Rest House in the desert. Imperial Airways switched during the 1930s to using flyingboats that landed on the creek at Dubai, a move that favoured Dubai's emergence as a commercial hub. Then, during
WWII, the airfield became a transit point for troops going to India and the Far East. For RAF and American air force
personnel, a posting to Sharjah made the heart sink as it was notorious for its extreme heat, isolation and poor rations.
The history of Sharjah airfield is central to the story of the modern Emirates. In this meticulous account, Nicholas StanleyPrice brings the past vividly to life, using an impressive array of unpublished contemporary photographs and records, and
fascinating stills from documentary footage shot at Sharjah in the 1930s.

Colloque 'Le patrimoine oui, mais quel patrimoine ? '- Siège de l'UNESCO - Paris - France - 3 - 4 avril 2012
Organisé par la Commission nationale française pour lÚNESCO avec la collaboration du Centre français du patrimoine
culturel immatériel - Maison des Cultures du Monde.
L’objectif de ce colloque est de faire le point sur les implications de cette nouvelle donne. Quelques uns des thèmes qui
seraient abordés (la liste est non limitative) pourraient être : Jusqu’où étendre le champ du patrimoine ? Quel patrimoine
faut-il protéger, sauvegarder ? Peut-on, doit-on, tout protéger, tout sauvegarder ? Nous avons délibérément choisi pour ce
colloque d’y inviter des personnalités de la société civile qui ont, dans leurs écrits, déjà abordé ces thèmes de réflexion
sous des angles différents. La diversité de leurs approches mériterait d’être réunie en un ouvrage qui serait ainsi le
témoignage de l’état de cette réflexion en France aujourd’hui.

Mermaids face extinction - Haenyeo - Jeju Island - The Republic of Korea
By Célia Zwahlen.
People recognize them by the long whistling sound they make when they surface from the sea to
breathe. They are exclusively female. On firm ground, they become like the rest of us, blending in
while they work the land. But every 15 days the sea calls them back.
Where they are from, they are known as haenyeo. A breed of women who, for centuries, have
gone free-diving year round to provide for their families. Their origin? Jeju Island in South Korea,
home of the next IUCN World Conservation Congress…

Languages and humanities courses axed as cuts force universities to prioritise - The Netherlands
The Netherlands is to lose 30 small courses in the humanities in their current form, including the only Portuguese
programme in the country, because of budget cuts and government requests for universities to focus on specific
geographic areas or sets of languages.
All universities have been hit by cuts in government funding and as a result several have cancelled small and expensive
courses in the humanities. Some will become part of a broader bachelor programme; many will be dropped altogether.

Continent-wide risk assessment for the establishment of nonindigenous species in Antarctica - Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences of the USA (PNAS)

Kevin A. Hughes, Satoshi Imura, Kate Kiefer, Marc Lebouvier, Ben Raymond, Megumu Tsujimoto, Chris Ware, Bart Van de

Invasive alien species are among the primary causes of biodiversity change globally, with the risks thereof broadly
understood for most regions of the world. They are similarly thought to be among the most significant conservation threats
to Antarctica, especially as climate change proceeds in the region. However, no comprehensive, continent-wide evaluation
of the risks to Antarctica posed by such species has been undertaken. Here we do so by sampling, identifying, and
mapping the vascular plant propagules carried by all categories of visitors to Antarctica during the International Polar
Year's first season (2007–2008) and assessing propagule establishment likelihood based on their identity and origins and
on spatial variation in Antarctica's climate. For an evaluation of the situation in 2100, we use modeled climates based on
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Special Report on Emissions Scenarios Scenario A1B…

Research on the effect of ecotourism on tiger shark behavior - University of Miami, Florida (USA)
A team of University of Miami researchers, including shark researcher Neil Hammerschlag, have conducted a study using
satellite telemetry on tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) in an attempt to learn what kind of impact ecotourism (in this case,
baited shark dives) has on the shark’s long-range migration and habitat utilization.
Sample groups were taken from Florida (where baited shark dives are illegal) and the Bahamas (where baited shark dives
are abundant). Analysis of the data from each sample group did not produce a significant difference in the measures of
movement and behavior evaluated by the study. Additionally, the data revealed information about long-range migration
behavior among both sample groups that was previously unknown.

Reconstituer la dynamique de la circulation océanique en Atlantique Nord, une composante essentielle du système
climatique, reste un défi majeur pour les sciences du climat. Cependant, dans les zones de forts courants de l’Atlantique
Nord croissent depuis des milliers voir des millions d'années des récifs coralliens profonds qui sont d’excellents
enregistreurs de certains paramètres climatiques. Leur étude, à l’aide de traceurs géochimiques, devrait permettre de
reconstruire l’évolution passée de paramètres océaniques, telles la température, la ventilation et la provenance des eaux,
et ainsi de reconstituer les variations passées de la circulation océanique et des conditions environnementales dans cette
région.

Tara de retour à Lorient après 117.000 km sur les océans
C'était le 5 septembre 2009 à Lorient : Tara larguait les amarres pour 3 ans
d'expédition autour du monde. Une mission scientifique destinée à mieux connaître la
faune et la flore planctoniques. On savait que les micro-organismes occupaient une
place incontournable dans la chaîne alimentaire. En revanche, on ne sait que depuis
peu que ces espèces fournissent une part importante de l'oxygène de l'atmosphère,
jouant ainsi un rôle de premier plan dans la régulation du climat.

Une application pour smartphones pour protéger les baleines
Les baleines franches de l'Atlantique nord sont en voie d’extinction. Elles sont notamment menacées par les navires avec
lesquelles elles entrent en collision. Pour connaître en temps réel, les zones protégées et même la position approximative
des cétacés, l’application pour smartphones Whale Alert a vu le jour.

Un gène de sapin pour remplacer l'ambre gris de cachalots dans les parfums ?
Selon des travaux menés par des chercheurs canadiens, un gène extrait du génome de sapin baumier
et introduit dans des levures pourrait permettre de remplacer l'ambre gris, tiré des cachalots et utilisé
en parfumerie.
Cela fait des siècles aujourd'hui que l'ambre gris est commercialisé en Europe et utilisé dans la
fabrication des parfums. Mais sous cette appellation quelque peu "poétique" se cache en fait une
substance qui l'est moins. En effet, l'ambre gris est une concrétion intestinale de cachalot. Autrement
dit, elle provient d'une réaction entre les sécrétions biliaires du cétacés et les aliments qu'il a ingéré.
Autrefois, on la récoltait sur les plages ou flottant sur les vagues. Dans le classique "Moby Dick", Herman Melville décrit
ainsi déjà la récolte de ce produit légendaire sur les côtes des océans.

IUCN Report on Selective fishing and balanced harvest in relation to fisheries and ecosystem
sustainability
Selective fishing and balanced harvest in relation to fisheries and ecosystem sustainability
This document reports on the results of a workshop on selective fishing and balanced harvest which took
place in Nagoya in October 2010. The workshop examined the extent to which selective fishing as currently
and traditionally practiced is able to contribute effectively to both ecosystem and fisheries sustainability.
The workshop also discussed what a shift from the conventional paradigm of gear/fishery selectivity to that
of a more “balanced harvest” would imply for the ecological and management dimensions of sustainability.

Perspectives on Public Housing in France - Docomomo International
The recent award L’équerre d’argent, given to architects Anne Lacaton, JeanPhilippe Vassal and Frédéric Druot for the transformation of the tower “Bois-leprêtre”, built in 1962 by Raymond Lopez in Paris, marks a change in the way we
perceive the cultural heritage of public housing from “1945-1975”, called in French
“Les Trente Glorieuses”. This award shows, among other things, that alternatives
to demolition can be found.
Scotland's survey and preservation initiatives for Post-War Sites and Monuments, 19852012
Throughout the twentieth century in Scotland there has been a recurring tension between the
aspirations to widen the scope of heritage to embrace more and more of the built environment
and cultural landscape, and the practical reality of extending preservation that far. This first came
into focus with Industrial Archaeology in the mid-to-late 1980s, when Scotland’s vanishing
traditional nineteenth and twentieth century heavy industries became a heritage concern.

and the other successor states of the former Soviet Union the names of most of the

Glaciers erode Land Faster Than Thought - University of Edinburgh. Scotland
(United Kingdom)
Ice sheets may be eroding the bedrock sitting beneath them up to 100 times faster than
has been thought, rapidly altering landscapes, a team of scientists finds.
The scientists made their finding by measuring the volume of rocky debris washed out
from beneath a 200-square- mile (600 square kilometers) region of Greenland's ice
sheet over a two-year period – scary work that saw them lose several sensors to the
strong current of the meltwater…

Découverte du premier glacier japonais
Les scientifiques du Tateyama Caldera Sabo Museum ont récemment fait la découverte du premier glacier japonais. Aucun
glacier n'avait en effet été répertorié officiellement dans la région la plus à l'est de l'Asie jusqu'à aujourd'hui.
Les glaciers sont des masses importantes de glace formées par l'entassement de neige très compacte. En raison du poids
et de la grande plasticité de la glace, de telles structures s'écoulent très lentement le long d'une pente montagneuse. Les
glaciers sont composés habituellement de trois parties correspondant à la formation, à l'accumulation et à la fonte de la
glace : zone d'accumulation, zone de transport et zone d'ablation.

Cataluña plantea un nuevo plan de organización de sus museos (España)
El conseller de Cultura, Ferran Mascarell, ha presentado hoy las bases del nuevo Plan de
Museos de Cataluña, que plantea a partir de "cuatro constelaciones" en torno al actual
MNAC, el MACBA, el Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales y del futuro Museo Nacional de
Historia de Cataluña (nMNHC).
La intención del departamento es provocar una "sacudida" y una "renovación" en este
ámbito para "racionalizarlo" y conseguir que sean los llamados Museos Nacionales los que
"vertebren" la realidad museística, "fomentando la cooperación entre instituciones y agentes
públicos y privados, creando nuevos recursos" que primen la eficiencia y permitan "un mejor rendimiento" en todo el
territorio.

Selon un sondage paru le 8 mars 2012 dans le journal local Helsingin Sanomat, le soutien de la
population à la création d’un musée estampillé « Guggenheim » a chuté par rapport aux études
réalisées il y a un an. En 2011, le maire d’Helsinki, à l’origine de l’initiative, avait reçu le
soutien de 47 % des habitants de la capitale. Aujourd’hui, seuls 19 % continuent d’être
partisans du projet. En revanche, le nombre d’opposants a doublé, passant à 75 % (6 % ne se prononcent pas).

Conférence "Bonnes à tout faire" Allemandes du XIXe siècle et Espagnoles des Trente Glorieuses

Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense, animée par Marianne Amar, responsable du département
Recherche, Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration
L’UniverCité continue de explorer la question des femmes en migration, à travers la catégorie des
domestiques étrangères. Si la figure de la "bonne à tout faire" traverse toute l’histoire de l’immigration, si
ces femmes partagent, quelles que soient leurs origines, des traits communs, le portrait se nuance selon les époques.

Arte portatile da toccare: ecco l’app dedicata a Vermeer
“E’ severamente vietato NON toccare le opere esposte”… In barba ai più comuni regolamenti
museali, potrebbe essere questo lo slogan di “Vermeer – La mostra impossibile”, un’app per
dispositivi iOS (in particolare iPad) destinata ad aprire una nuova era della fruizione culturale.
Da diversi anni, l’universo della Rete Internet si è arricchito di musei e mostre virtuali di
estremo interesse e spesso definite, appunto, “impossibili”, in quanto capaci di riunire in un
unico ambiente opere che altrimenti sarebbe impossibile visionare in un solo colpo d’occhio, o
perché sono sparse in diversi continenti o perché, nella peggiore delle ipotesi, sono andate
perdute o sono state rovinate dall’incuria del tempo (e dell’uomo)…

Last privately held object from Captain Cook's collection donated to UBC
(University of British Columbia) Museum of Anthropology - Vancouver - British
Columbia (Canada)
An object of global historical and cultural significance, received by explorer Captain James
Cook from a Canadian First Nation during his final voyage (1776-1779), is being donated to
the University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology by a leading arts philanthropist.
Recently purchased through a private dealer in New York, and valued at $1.2 million, the
rare ceremonial club was the last remaining object from Captain Cook’s personal collection
not housed in a public museum. Thanks to the Audain Foundation for the Visual Arts, the club returns to British Columbia,
where the famous explorer received it from the Nuu-chah-nulth people of Vancouver Island’s west coast in 1778, or 234
years ago.
Xinjin Zhi Museum / Kengo Kuma & Associates - 2011 - Cheng Du (China)
This pavilion is located at the foot of Laojunshan mountain in Xinjin, to usher in the people to
the holy place of Taoism, while the building itself shows the essence of Taoism through its space
and exhibitions.
The tile used for façade is made of local material and worked on in a traditional method of this
region, to pay tribute to Taoism that emphasizes on nature and balance. Tile is hung and floated
in the air by wire to be released from its weight (and gain lightness). Clad in breathing façade of
particles, the architecture is merged into its surrounding nature.

Museum Announces Expansion, Renovation Chrysler Museum of Art. Norfolk, Virginia (USA)
The Board of Trustees of the Chrysler Museum of Art voted
March 29 to proceed with plans to expand and renovate
the Museum.
If the bidding process goes as expected, construction will
begin in early July. The end result will be more gallery
space, better amenities and freshly redesigned exhibits.
A key component of the renovation is the replacement of outdated heating and cooling systems—which are absolutely
crucial in protecting and preserving our collection—with more modern, efficient systems. Such green initiatives will help the
Museum reduce its energy bill, which currently tops $60,000 per month.

Heilbrunn Timeline of History - Metropolitan Museum of Art - Athletics in Ancient Greece - New York City. New
York State (USA)
According to tradition, the most important athletic competitions were inaugurated in 776 B.C. at Olympia in the
Peloponnesos. By the sixth century B.C., other Panhellenic (pan=all, hellenikos=Greek) games involving Greek-speaking
city-states were being held at Delphi, Nemea, and Isthmia. Many local games, such as the Panathenaic games at Athens,
were modeled on these four periodoi, or circuit games. The Pythian games at Delphi honored Apollo and included singing
and drama contests; at Nemea, games were held in honor of Zeus; at Isthmia, they were celebrated for Poseidon; and at
Olympia, they were dedicated to Zeus, although separate games in which young, unmarried women competed were
celebrated for Hera. The victors at all these games brought honor to themselves, their families, and their hometowns.
Public honors were bestowed on them, statues were dedicated to them, and victory poems were written to commemorate
their feats. Numerous vases are decorated with scenes of competitions and the odes of Pindar celebrate a number of
athletic victories.

Connecticut man knows something about stolen art from Isabella Stewart Gardner
Museum - Boston - Massachusetts - USA
It remains the largest art heist in history, a brazen robbery in which two thieves disguised as

recovery of the paintings have puzzled investigators for more than two decades. Now federal
authorities appear to be pinning some hope of solving the mystery on a 75-year-old reputed
mobster from Connecticut, Robert Gentile, who is jailed in a drug case.

Future tense, VII: What's a museum? - On the changing nature of our cultural institutions
What’s a museum? Lately, it seems, the answer is whatever we want. Today’s museums can be tourist attractions,
department stores, civic centers, town squares, catalysts of urban renewal, food courts, licensing brands, showcases for
contemporary architecture, social clubs, LEED-certified environmentally conscious facilities, and franchise opportunities. A
“well-run museum is eerily like an upscale suburban shopping mall,” says an article in The New York Times. A cafe with
“art on the side,”?advertises London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. “We are in the entertainment business, and competing
against other forms of entertainment out there,” says a one-time spokesman for the Guggenheim museum. “Inclusive
places that welcome diverse audiences” and “reflect our society’s pluralism in every aspect of their operations and
programs,” suggests the American Association of Museums. “We live in a more global, multicultural society that cares
about diversity and inclusivity,”?so “service to the community” is now among the museum’s à la carte options, says Kaywin
Feldman, the latest head of the Association of Art Museum Directors. As reported in The Wall Street Journal, museums are
even about “bringing art to those with Alzheimer’s or post-traumatic stress disorder, and farming crops for donation to
local food banks,” initiatives that have been promoted through grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Lanyang Museum / Artech Architects - 2010 - Yilan County - Taiwan - China
Taking forms from the cuesta rock formation in and around the site, the museum spaces
shift in and out of the “rock”. This museum is adjacent to the Wushih Port, a once
prosperous harbor that is now a wetland. The museum is designed to reflect the unique
history, the culture, and the landscape in Lanyang. In addition to reconstructing the
harbor’s history, the museum also introduces Yilan’s rich wetland ecology as a part of an
outdoor exhibition.

Georgia's Culture Ministry announces Josef Stalin museum being remodeled to
focus on his atrocities - Georgia
A museum that has honored Josef Stalin in Georgia since 1937 is being remodeled to exhibit
the atrocities that were committed during the Soviet dictator's rule. Stalin was born Josef
Dzhugashvili in the central Georgian town of Gori in 1879, and the museum opened here in
1937, at the height of purges that were later dubbed the Great Terror. The gigantic museum
includes the house where Stalin was born and some 47,000 exhibits, including his personal
belongings and death masks.

Park & Agricultural Heritage Museum / Vamvakidis Simos, Tzortzis
Antonis, Zapantiotis Fotis - 2012. Limassol (Cyprus)
Vamvakidis Simos, Tzortzis Antonis, and Zapantiotis Fotis shared with us their
proposal for the Park & Agricultural Heritage Museum in the Eptagonia community
of Limassol, Cyprus. The individual volumes of the museum follow the gentle slope
of the existing terrain, creating an “organic” connection to the landscape while
creating individual passes and plateaus that are interconnected, in a composition
close to the human scale and built context of the village.
The lot #686 that hosts the existing cultural center of Eptagonia is today characterized by a sharp elevation of about five
meters with the new lot, #677. The stone wall that surrounds it, retains only a portion of the slope at the base of the hill,
and stresses the strict demarcation between the two properties. As a symbolic gesture, the perimeter wall was broken
down into smaller fragments or “debris” which slide within the surrounding space. The fragments now become stone walls
and yards – a reference to traditional stone walls – while holding the soil and organizing the whole park area…

Journal of the Inclusive Museum
ISSN: 1835-2014
Editors: Amareswar Galla, International Institute for the Inclusive Museum & Bill Cope, University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign, USA.
The International Journal of the Inclusive Museum addresses the key question: In this time of fundamental social change,
what is the role of the museum, both as a creature of that change, and perhaps also as an agent of change? The journal
brings together academics, curators, museum and public administrators, cultural policy makers and research students to
engage in discussions about the historic character and future shape of the museum. The key question of the Journal is:
How can the institution of the museum become more inclusive?
The International Journal of the Inclusive Museum is peer-reviewed, supported by rigorous processes of criterionreferenced article ranking and qualitative commentary, ensuring that only intellectual work of the greatest substance and
highest significance is published.

Vietnam Museum of Ethnology: The Making of a National Museum for Communities
Author: Nguyen Van Huy
ISBN: 978-1863357272
Publisher: Common Ground Publishing (December 2010)
For more than a decade (1995-2006), the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology has undertaken many
journeys: journeys to bring relevant ethnographic objects to the museum; journeys to reach the
opening of the museum's permanent exhibition in its new structure-itself shaped like a traditional
bronze drum-journeys to prepare temporary exhibitions; journeys to seek out and erect houses of
different ethnic groups in the museum's outdoor exhibition; journeys to learn about and present craft demonstrations and
performances; journeys to implement educational programs for children; and journeys to introduce multimedia into
museum activities. Each journey-creative and educational-has provided opportunities for us to learn about how the people
in our country have adapted to changing conditions…

La onda de choque provocada por la incapacidad para frenar la disminución de la biodiversidad antes de

comunidad internacional un sentimiento de urgencia que ha favorecido la adopción en octubre de 2010
del Tratado de Nagoya sobre la Biodiversidad. Nuestros lectores recordarán seguramente que el tratado
fija objetivos ambiciosos para 2020, como el de reducir a la mitad la pérdida de hábitat e incrementar las

Dos Sitios Ramsar para el Día Mundial de los Humedales en la región francesa de Aquitania
El Día Mundial de los Humedales se conmemoró en la región francesa de Aquitania, una de las más activas en la

el terreno, excursiones de descubrimiento, conferencias, proyecciones de vídeo, etc., véase www.cren-aquitaine.fr/jmzh/
jmzh2012aquitaine.html), durante la semana del 28 de enero al 5 de febrero de 2012. Se trata de un logro significativo
para una región que hasta hace poco no tenía designado ningún humedal en la Lista de Ramsar. Pero el DMH de 2012
brindó a esta región la oportunidad de resarcirse con la designación de dos nuevos Sitios Ramsar: Marais d'Orx en el País
Vasco francés y la zona del delta del río Leyre en Bassin d'Arcachon, una bahía con intensa actividad de mareas situada en
la costa atlántica cerca de Burdeos.

Dynamic Dinaric project kicks off - Europarc Consulting
Could the Western Balkans become the Costa Rica of Europe? After all, Costa Rica is considered by many to be one of the
most successful examples of sustainable tourism. Could the protected areas in this region do the same in Europe for
visitors to enjoy the rich biodiversity without the need for long flights? Some participants at the Belgrade kick-off meeting
of an exciting new project for EUROPARC Consulting certainly thought so.
The string of natural jewels known as the Dinaric Arc Parks stretches through Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia,
Kosovo under UNSCR 1244, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia.

Volunteer management in European Parks - Europarc
Protected areas need their local communities and stakeholders to get more involved in their management. Volunteering is
a great way to do this. This project provides an invaluable opportunity to advance existing approaches to Lifelong Learning
through conservation volunteering at a European level and to find means of consolidating these as integrative parts of
protected areas' volunteer management.
The level of volunteer management in European park, varies depending on countries and parks. Therefore, the project
partners intend to disseminate innovation and good practice in the field of vm and collectively develop innovative measures
that upgrade learning opportunities in the context of volunteering.

Time to re-boot: Towards a new environmentalism
In the build-up to the IUCN Congress, a landmark event for conservation, Dr Joe Zammit-Lucia argues
that the environmental community needs to re-think its approach.
"Faith in ‘business as usual’ to deliver the changes needed owes more to the hopes of those favoured
by the current status quo (and fearful of the costs of any change of direction) than to a coherent
analysis".
This quote from a 2008 IUCN Report was directed at those responsible for making policy decisions. It
is time we also directed these words to ourselves - how we define environmentalism, what we are
about and how we hope to achieve positive change.

Nature for all : The common denominator between us
Natural resources contribute 25-30% of many rural and coastal peoples’ household income in low
and middle income countries. But governments tend to keep authority over natural resources and
often exclude or heavily regulate local control. The direct result is that nature’s benefits are not
fairly shared and natural resources are often poorly managed. In some cases, notably the high seas,
there is the opposite challenge, with little, if any control over the management of these resources.

Cost to pack California state park artifacts will cut savings - California - USA
Shuttering dozens of California state parks to trim millions from the state budget will take more than simply hanging a
"Closed" sign on trailheads and beach parking lots. Many on the closure list house thousands of historical treasures that
must be packed up, catalogued and stored if deals are not reached to save them. The tens of thousands of items on public
display paint a rich portrait of California's past. Among them are rare crystalline gold nuggets at the California Mining and
Minerals Museum in Mariposa, painting masterworks showing early 20th century San Francisco street scenes and coastal
landscapes at Shasta State Historical Park, and the writer Jack London's home and writing memorabilia in Sonoma County.
Identifying Cinderella species: uncovering mammals with conservation flagship appeal
By Robert J. Smith, Diogo Veríssimo, Nicholas J.B. Isaac, Kate E. Jones
International conservation NGOs rely on flagship species campaigns for fundraising but this approach has been criticized
for benefiting a limited number of species. However, this criticism assumes these campaigns do not fundraise for broader
issues and that alternative species with similar appeal to the target audience exist. We investigated this by: recording the
use of threatened mammal species in international NGO flagship campaigns, and; using these data to identify “Cinderella
species,” which we define as aesthetically appealing but currently overlooked species. We found these NGOs only used 80
flagship species and that 61% of their campaigns only raised funds for the species itself. We also found these existing
flagships are generally large and have forward-facing eyes and that there are 183 other threatened species with similar
traits. Thus, the current approach is overly limited but NGOs could overcome this by adopting some of these Cinderella
species as new flagships.

Museum national d'histoire naturelle : Etat de conservation des habitats d'intérêt
communautaire des dunes non boisées du littoral atlantique - Méthode d'évaluation à l'échelle
du site Natural 2000 - France
Une méthode d’évaluation de l’état de conservation des habitats d’intérêt communautaire des dunes non
boisées du littoral atlantique a été mise en place en partenariat avec le MNHN, l’ONF et le CBN de Brest.
L’étude a porté sur trois habitats d’intérêt communautaire, les dunes embryonnaires atlantiques (UE2110),
les dunes mobiles à Ammophila arenaria subsp. arenaria des côtes atlantiques (UE 2120) ou dunes
blanches et les dunes côtières fixées à végétation herbacée des côtes atlantiques (UE 2130) ou dunes
grises. Une sélection d’une liste de critères et d’indicateurs a été retenue suite à l'analyse bibliographique et aux
discussions lors du comité de suivi. Ce rapport présente une première méthode validée est téléchargeable sur le site de
l’INPN, mais il reste des ajustements et recalibrage de certains indicateurs pour finaliser la méthode.

Des analyses montrent que la Vénus de Médicis était polychrome - Florence - Italie
De récentes analyses chimiques effectuées sur l’une des statues les plus célèbres au monde
démontrent que celle-ci présente des traces de polychromie.
Aujourd’hui d’un blanc immaculé, La Vénus de Médicis était autrefois peinte. Cheveux colorés à la
feuille d’or, lèvres rouge rubis, la statue devait représenter la déesse de l’Amour de façon très
réaliste, estime Fabrizio Paolucci, chef du département des antiquités classiques du Musée des
Offices.
Dans le cadre d’une restauration de la sculpture, les chercheurs du Musée des Offices de Florence
(où est conservée l’œuvre) et des universités de Modène et de Reggio ont mis à jour des traces infimes de peinture et de
feuille d’or. Ils ont également découvert des trous dans les lobes des oreilles, indiquant que la statue portait des boucles
d’oreilles.

Kroeller-Mueller Museum confirms through new X-Ray technique that still life is by
Vincent van Gogh - The Hague - The Netherlands
A new X-ray technique helped experts re-examine what they already knew about "Still life
with meadow flowers and roses" and draw on a growing pool of scholarly Van Gogh
research. A detailed X-ray of an underlying painting of two wrestlers and knowledge of the
painter's period at a Belgian art academy led a team of researchers to conclude that the
painting really is by Van Gogh.

Hallado un fresco perdido de Leonardo da Vinci en Florencia
Según el profesor que ha dirigido la investigación, emergen nuevos indicios sobre el hallazgo
del fresco perdido de Leonardo da Vinci que podría estar en el muro oriental del Salón del
Cinquecento del Palazzo Vecchio, sede del Ayuntamiento de Florencia. El alcalde de la ciudad,
Matteo Renzi, ha mantenido un encuentro con el ministro de Cultura, Lorenzo Ornaghi, para
hablar de la búsqueda de la “Batalla de Anghiari”, en la que se ve a caballeros y caballos
luchando incansablemente por obtener el gonfalone o estandarte, símbolo de la ciudad de
Florencia. La batalla tuvo lugar en 1440 y en ella se enfrentaron el ejército del gobierno de
Milán y el del Estado de Florencia, que había firmado una alianza con el Papa Eugenio IV. Venció el estado de Florencia,
dirigido por Giampaolo Orsini y Micheletto Attendolo, y eso le valió controlar el centro de Italia. Se cree que una pintura de
Rubens en el Museo del Louvre, París, conocida como "La batalla del estandarte", es una copia de la pintura perdida de
Leonardo.

La restauration de « La Cène » de Léonard de Vinci réalisée en 1999
comporterait une erreur
Les restaurations de « La Cène » de Léonard de Vinci s’étaient achevées en 1999
après 20 ans de travaux. Le 13 mars 2012, le directeur d’ArtWatch, Michael Daley, a
annoncé avoir constaté que le restaurateur avait fait une erreur dans les repeints de la
figure du Christ.
Le différend peut sembler anecdotique. La maladresse de restauration relevée par
ArtWatch (« chien de garde » des restaurations d’art) tient à un détail : après les
repeints, la manche de la main droite du Christ repose sur la table, alors que les nombreuses copies de l’œuvre de Léonard
de Vinci montrent que la draperie de la manche retombe derrière la table.

Ambitious Vatican restoration of the statue-topped colonnade that cradles St.
Peter's Square moves ahead - Holy See
An ambitious project to clean the statue-topped colonnade that cradles St. Peter's Square is
likely to last at least three more years, the director of the Vatican restoration says. The work
on Gian Lorenzo Bernini's columns began in 2009, after some two years of preliminary
studies, and it is proceeding in sections so the square can still be used for Vatican events,
including papal appearances.

disfigured by reforms made during the 1980s and 90s. The proposal was to recover the proportions of the
facade, to expand the ground floor, unifying dining area, kitchen and living room and to create a larger,
more contemplative, outside area with a small outhouse in the back divided between a playing room, for
the client’s daughters, a laundry and a restroom.

Old Buildings New Designs
By Charles Bloszies
ISBN: 978-1616890353
Increasingly, architects are hired to design new work for existing structures. Whether for reasons of
preservation, sustainability, or cost-effectiveness, the movement to reuse buildings presents a
variety of design challenges and opportunities. Old Buildings, New Designs is an Architecture Brief
devoted to working within a given architectural fabric from the technical issues that arise from aging
construction to the controversy generated by the various project stakeholders to the unique aesthetic
possibilities created through the juxtaposition of old and new.

New work in historic places of worship 2012
2nd edition
English Heritage believes that this country’s historic places of worship should retain their role as living

needed to achieve this, in ways which will sustain and enhance the special qualities of their buildings. Our
formal role is to act as a consultee in the statutory processes for controlling works to listed places of
worship, but we can also offer pre-application advice to congregations to help them develop proposals,
based on our experience and expertise in working with the historic environment.

ICHEC (Irish Centre for High End Computing), y a investigadores de la NASA y de las universidades de Harvard y Yale en
EE.UU, recientemente ha publicado un artículo en la revista "Science" que pone de manifiesto una hipótesis más moderna
del árbol de evolución de la vida.
Los resultados de análisis genéticos que requerían cálculos estadísticos intensivos, posibilitados por la utilización de una
máquina constituida por 3.840 procesadores, parecen confirmar que la explosión de las formas diversas de vida dataría de
la era cámbrica, alrededor de 500 millones de años, como siempre lo sostuvieron los paleontólogos teniendo como base el
estudio de los fósiles actualizados. Por ejemplo la clase del braquiópodos (moluscos), que presenta la particularidad de una
simetría lateral, como los peces y los crustáceos, habría surgido hace 538 millones de años, en pleno período cámbrico
Mystery human fossils put spotlight on China
Fossils from two caves in south-west China have revealed a previously unknown Stone Age people
and give a rare glimpse of a recent stage of human evolution with startling implications for the
early peopling of Asia.
The fossils are of a people with a highly unusual mix of archaic and modern anatomical features
and are the youngest of their kind ever found in mainland East Asia.
Dated to just 14,500 to 11,500 years old, these people would have shared the landscape with
modern-looking people at a time when China's earliest farming cultures were beginning, says an
international team of scientists led by Associate Professor Darren Curnoe, of the University of New South Wales, and
Professor Ji Xueping of the Yunnan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology.
Details of the discovery are published in the journal PLoS One. The team has been cautious about classifying the fossils
because of their unusual mosaic of features.

Newly Discovered Close Relative of T. Rex Is Largest Known Feathered Dinosaur - Institute of Vertebrate
Paleontology and Paleoanthropology - Liaoning Province (China)
Palaeontologists have known for more than a decade that some small dinosaurs had bird-like feathers, mainly thanks to
beautifully preserved fossils from northeastern China. Now three specimens of a new tyrannosauroid from the same region
show that at least one much larger dinosaur had a feathery coat as well.
The name of the new species, Yutyrannus huali, means “beautiful feathered tyrant” in a combination of Latin and
Mandarin. The three specimens were collected from a single quarry in Cretaceous beds in Liaoning Province, and are

Des mammouths laineux en passe d'être "ramenés à la vie" par un laboratoire coréen ?
Un laboratoire de recherche coréen, dirigé par le très controversé pionnier du clonage Hwang Woo-suk, a affirmé vouloir
tenter d'implanter de l'ADN de mammouth, espèce éteinte depuis plusieurs milliers d'années, dans un ovule d'éléphant afin
de créer un nouvel embryon. Sooam Biotech Research Foundation espère ainsi donner naissance à un bébé mammouth,

Incisive research links teeth with diet - University of Leicester (United Kingdom)
Cutting edge study shows teeth can be used to determine what has been eaten.
Issued by University of Leicester Press Office on 4 April 2012.
You are what you eat is truism that has been given new impetus by ‘cutting edge’ research led by the
University of Leicester that reveals your teeth are literally shaped by your food.
Indeed, evidence from teeth can be used to determine what has been eaten by an animal providing a
new way of working out the diets of wild animals that doesn’t involve the unpleasant task of looking
at the contents of their guts…

Support The Rainforest Communities To Recover Their Traditions - Peru
As in other parts of the Amazon forests of South America, the native communities of Peru have
increased in population and are constantly more attracted to the “modern” style of life. The
promise of a utopian modern life of pleasure and ease creates a situation where poor decisions
are often made, forfeiting land, their customs and traditions and even their native language as
they try to accommodate to modern life. Often these people find themselves living in inner cities
without connection to their past, their communities, native environment or a sense of their
cultural identity leaving them susceptible to crime and substance abuse.

Research on the effect of ecotourism on tiger shark behavior - University of Miami, Florida (USA)
A team of University of Miami researchers, including shark researcher Neil Hammerschlag, have conducted a study using
satellite telemetry on tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) in an attempt to learn what kind of impact ecotourism (in this case,
baited shark dives) has on the shark’s long-range migration and habitat utilization.
Sample groups were taken from Florida (where baited shark dives are illegal) and the Bahamas (where baited shark dives
are abundant). Analysis of the data from each sample group did not produce a significant difference in the measures of
movement and behavior evaluated by the study. Additionally, the data revealed information about long-range migration
behavior among both sample groups that was previously unknown.

Following the introduction of new regional forest legislation in 2006, legal timber harvesting
became unprofitable here and the incomes of local people dropped. IUCN was then approached
by the local authorities to help identify alternative income sources that would safeguard the
rights of local people to access forest resources.

Marine heritage's troubled waters - The popular assumption is that anything
recovered from the sea is 'finders keepers'
Two recent news stories have reignited public interest in how historic sites are managed in the
deep ocean. On the one hand there is the US court ruling that the 594,000 gold and silver coins
originally recovered by Odyssey Marine Exploration from the Black Swan/Mercedes site should
be handed over to Spain. On the other hand, there is the news that the wreck of HMS Victory
(a predecessor of Nelson’s famous flagship) will be investigated by Odyssey after an agreement
was struck with the British government.

In Memoriam: profesor Herb Stovel, conservador (Canadá)
El Profesor Herb Stovel, uno de los expertos más célebres en el mundo en materia de conservación del
patrimonio falleció esta semana en Ottawa.
Durante su larga carrera, Pr Stovel contribuyó notoriamente a la conservación del patrimonio y a la
Convención del patrimonio mundial en particular. Como especialista y profesor de un rigor y de una
curiosidad intelectual excepcional, influyó ampliamente sobre el avance en este campo y formó las
capacidades de centenares de profesionales del patrimonio en el mundo entero. Autor de numerosos libros
y publicaciones sobre diversos temas vinculados al patrimonio, posiblemente fue más conocido por su papel
en la redacción del Documento de Nara sobre autenticidad, en 1994, con Raymond Lemaire. Miembro de la delegación del
ICCROM, la organización consultiva del Comité del patrimonio mundial, entre 1998 y 2004, Pr Stovel aportó una
contribución especial al fortalecimiento de las políticas y de las prácticas de la Convención, particularmente mediante el
desarrollo de su Estrategia global de formación, la creación de dos célebres publicaciones del ICCROM sobre la preparación
frente a los riesgos incurridos por el patrimonio mundial y la conservación del patrimonio vivo religioso así como su papel
activo sobre la formación permanente y las actividades de gestión.
Ambitious Vatican restoration of the statue-topped colonnade that cradles St.
Peter's Square moves ahead - Holy See
An ambitious project to clean the statue-topped colonnade that cradles St. Peter's Square is
likely to last at least three more years, the director of the Vatican restoration says. The work
on Gian Lorenzo Bernini's columns began in 2009, after some two years of preliminary
studies, and it is proceeding in sections so the square can still be used for Vatican events,
including papal appearances.

L'archéologie à Versailles - Un vaste terrain de fouilles
Le château, musée et domaine national de Versailles constituant un site classé au titre des monuments historiques, tous
les projets d’aménagement touchant le sous-sol sont précédés d’une recherche historique et archéologique. Cette dernière
prend la forme de sondages ponctuels, destinés à détecter la présence d’éventuels vestiges, sondages qui sont, le cas
échéant, suivis d’une fouille plus approfondie.

Category 2 Centres under the auspices of UNESCO related to World Heritage
In recent years, the framework for training and research in the field of World Heritage has changed significantly. Among
the factors that have contributed to these rapid changes, is the emerging of many new institutions now offering capacity
building within the World Heritage context. In this regard, a major development was the establishment, in various regions
of the world, of capacity building institutions that have been granted the status of "category 2 centres under the auspices
of UNESCO"1, dealing specifically with World Heritage…
New Bauhaus Museum / MenoMenoPiu Architects - Weimar - Germany
MenoMenoPiu Architects shared with us their winning proposal in the Classic

Descubrimientos arqueológicos - Tenochtitlan - México
En recinto sagrado de Tenochtitlan, arqueólogos del INAH-Conaculta hallaron 23 lápidas de
más de 550 años de antigüedad, con representaciones grabadas de serpientes, cautivos,
ornamentos y guerreros que, en su conjunto, parecen constituir un relato que alude al
nacimiento de Huitzilopochtli y al origen de la Guerra Sagrada entre los mexicas. Las lápidas
Patrimonio mundial
se encuentran ubicadas frente a los vestigios del Templo Mayor de Tenochtitlan, en el
Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México, junto a la plataforma circular decorada con cabezas
de serpientes descubierta en septiembre de 2011. Las lápidas se disponen deliberadamente
a lo largo de una vía constituida por lajas de andesita rosa y de basalto (de 16.7 m de largo y 3.3 de ancho) y su nivel
corresponde a la IVa etapa constructiva del Templo Mayor, que se edificó entre 1440 y 1469, durante el gobierno del
tlatoani Moctezuma I. La disposición y el emplazamiento parecen corresponder a referencias encontradas en la Historia
general de las cosas de la Nueva España, de Bernardino de Sahagún, en la Historia de las Indias de Nueva España e Islas
de Tierra Firme, escrito por Diego Durán, así como en los códices Boturini y Chimalpopoca…

La Directora general de la UNESCO preocupada por la situación en Mali
En respuesta a los recientes acontecimientos al norte de Mali, la Directora general expresa su
profunda preocupación en cuanto a las posibles consecuencias del conflicto armado,
actualmente en curso, sobre los inestimables bienes culturales del Patrimonio mundial situados
en Tombuctú y en Gao. La toma reciente de estas dos ciudades por la rebelión Tuareg podría
tener efectos dañinos para la gestión y la conservación de las 3 mezquitas y de los 16
mausoleos de Tombuctú, así como de la Tumba de Askia en Gao.
La Directora general pide a todos los beligerantes garantizar la protección de estas dos joyas
del patrimonio, a las cuales la comunidad internacional y la UNESCO conceden una importancia muy grande, como lo
atestigua su inscripción sobre la Lista del patrimonio mundial.
Tombuctú y sus 3 grandes mezquitas testimonian la edad de oro de la capital intelectual y espiritual en el siglo XV. Estas
mezquitas desempeñaron un papel esencial en la difusión del Islam en África. Son portadoras de la identidad y de la
dignidad de todo un pueblo.
Reflexión para una inscripción de los humedales de Val de Loire en la Lista Ramsar - Francia
El Parque natural regional Loira Anjou Touraine inició a fines de año 2011 una reflexión para el
reconocimiento del patrimonio natural de Val de Loire como humedal de importancia internacional bajo
la Convención de Ramsar. Con este fin, es miembro asociado de la joven asociación "Ramsar France"
que tiene como objetivo dar a conocer y promover la etiqueta Ramsar en Francia, mejorar la gestión
de los sitios Ramsar inscritos, y fomentar la creación de nuevos sitios.
En 1997, el Parque ya había iniciado la reflexión que dio lugar a la inscripción de Val de Loire en la
Lista del patrimonio mundial en 2000, como paisajes culturales.

Reapertura del Museo Toulouse-Lautrec. Albi (Francia)
El Museo Toulouse-Lautrec es hoy el embajador de la ciudad de Albi y acoge cada año a
cerca de 160 000 visitantes, lo que lo sitúa entre los primeros museos de la región. Desde
2001 está inmerso en un ambicioso programa de reestructuración al término del cual
reafirmará su lugar entre los grandes museos contemporáneos.
Comenzados en 2001, los trabajos de renovación han permitido rediseñar el acceso al
museo que se realiza desde entonces a través del Patio de Honor. Se han creado nuevos
espacios bajo el palacio.
La colocación de las obras establecida a principios del año 2008 propone una nueva lectura de la obra de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Webdocumentaire - Dans les murs de la Casbah (Alger-Algérie)
Collaboration de l'Université Rennes 2 (France)
La Casbah d’Alger porte dans ses murs autant l’Histoire du pays que
les problématiques urbaines de l’Algérie moderne. Symbolique de
l’identité algérienne, elle cherche son avenir... Laissez-vous entraîner
dans son dédale d'escaliers avec "Dans les murs de la Casbah" , un
webdocumentaire original réalisé par Céline Dréan en collaboration
avec le sociolinguiste alégérien Réda Sébih (sous la direction des
Universités de Rennes 2 et d'Alger 2).
À chaque carrefour, au détour d’une ruelle, l’internaute peut entrer dans un café pour écouter les anciens, pousser la porte
de la maison des femmes ou encore s’installer avec des étudiants parlant de leurs rêves d’avenir. Il peut emprunter trois
parcours virtuels pour s’immerger dans ce morceau d'Algérie et y écouter la parole des Casbadjis. En écho à ces
témoignages, des chercheurs algériens nous aident à comprendre la Casbah… Cette exploration inédite interactive et
inédite du quartier mythique algérois est le premier webdocumentaire aidé par la Région Bretagne.

Albi Major Theatre / Dominique Perrault Architecture - 2011-2013 - France
The winning proposal for the Albi Major Theatre, designed by Dominique Perrault
Architecture, aims at transforming the texture of the city as well as its cultural
influence. Appearing as an outstanding architectural symbol, on the outskirts of the
historic center, the architects gave priority to the presence of the Major Theatre
instead of the cinemas, in order to organize around it a network of public spaces and
of cultural facilities. Therefore, the Major Theatre will be its center.

Paestumanità, un’azione per il patrimonio dell’Umanità di Valentina Del Pizzo
- Paestum - Italy
Paestumanità è un’operazione di azionariato popolare finalizzata ad acquisire i terreni
privati (80% circa su un totale di 120 ha) compresi entro le mura del sito archeologico
di Poseidonia/ Paestum, patrimonio dell’Umanità. Ed è proprio alla Umanità tutta che il
progetto, promosso da Legambiente, rivolge il proprio appello: intendiamo comprare
per salvaguardare un pezzo della nostraa storia per favorire così la ricerca e la
valorizzazione dei suoi risultati. Il punto fondamentale è pertanto il contributo di
ciascuno attraverso le c.d. Buone Azioni, del valore di 50 € cadauna.

public et membre du GERCIE/Groupe d’Etude et de Recherche sur la coopération
