Ciudades creativas y pueblos con encanto: los nuevos procesos patrimoniales del siglo XXI

2017

Durante las últimas décadas hemos asistido a un crecimiento espectacular del fenómeno patrimonial. La eclosión patrimonial, entre otras cosas, puede ser leída como una cara más del tercer espíritu del capitalismo. El desembarco de la economía de los intangibles y el acento en la producción del valor de lo inmaterial ha cambiado las reglas del juego de la economía mundial. Nuestra hipótesis de partida es que hemos asistido a una importante transformación en las activaciones patrimoniales: del nacionalismo político, que impulsó el patrimonio colectivo en el XIX, hemos pasado al nacionalismo de consumo en el siglo XXI. En este contexto, este artículo analiza el distinto impacto que tienen los …

Glimmering utopias: 50 years of African film

2010

The history of African film began in the 1960s with the independence of the colonies. Despite all kinds of political and economic difficulties, numerous films have been made since then, featuring wide-ranging processes of consolidation, differentiation and transformation which were characteristic of post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa. However, these feature films should not merely be viewed as back references to specifically African problems. The glimmering fictions are imagination spaces. They preserve ideas about how the post-colonial circumstances should be approached. Seen from this perspective, the history of African film may be studied as a history of African utopias. Die Geschichte des…

Phytotoponymy and Synphytotoponymy in Western Granada Province (Andalusia, Spain)

2009

En el marco de la investigación etnobotánica desarrollada en el poniente granadino, se ha realizado un estudio sobre la toponimia de la comarca con atención a los apelativos de origen vegetal (fitotopónimos y sinfitotopónimos). La información —obtenida de la Gerencia Territorial del Catastro de Granada, de la Junta de Andalucía y de nuestro trabajo de campo— se ha incluido en una base de datos con el programa Microsoft Excell®. Un total de 98 especies vegetales se encuentran representadas en la toponimia local, dando nombre a 593 lugares del territorio. Se aportan comentarios sobre el significado ecológico, paleofitogeográfico y etnobotánico de las especies reflejadas en la toponimia.

Rituales, descentramientos territoriales y niveles de identidad: La Semana Santa Marinera de Valencia

2011

The aim of this paper is to study how the processes of spatial and identity recomposition brought about by a globalized world affect traditional religious rituals, with particular reference to the <i>Semana Santa Marinera</i> processions in Valencia (Spain). Instead of the ritual giving rise to a single local identity, it can be seen that levels of local identity —while not disappearing— overlap more and more with increasingly vague new territorialities ranging from processional networks based on canon law to state-organized meetings. Media coverage of the ritual means that new virtual communities with no fixed territorial base are created, and the complexity of this phenomenon …

Memoria oral del modelo de familia troncal en Els Ports de Morella: tensiones, cambios y continuidades para una generación de ruptura

2010

Este texto tiene por objeto estudiar la reconstrucción del modelo de familia troncal a través de la memoria de personas que forman parte de la última generación que ha vivido su pleno funcionamiento de forma más o menos directa, en la comarca castellonense de Els Ports de Morella. Se realiza una síntesis de dicho modelo como tipo ideal, para posteriormente profundizar, en primer lugar, en los discursos sobre prácticas que se ajustan a aquel patrón y, en segundo lugar, en algunos elementos de tensión que surgen de su aplicación como instrumento de interpretación de la realidad. Finalmente, se presentan algunos aspectos de cómo las personas entrevistadas plasman en su discurso las continuidad…

National Identity and the Problem of "Polish" and "Silesia" in the Work of Jan Goczoł

Landscapes of loss and destruction: : Sámi elders’ childhood memories of the second world war

2019

The so-called Lapland War between Finland and Germany at the end of the Second World War led to a mass-scale destruction of Lapland. Both local Finnish residents and the indigenous Sámi groups lost their homes, and their livelihoods suffered in many ways. The narratives of these deeply traumatic experiences have long been neglected and suppressed in Finland and have been studied only recently by academics and acknowledged in public. In this text, we analyze the interviews with four elders of one Sámi village, Vuotso. We explore their memories, from a child’s perspective, scrutinizing the narration as a multilayered affective process that involves sensual and embodied dimensions of memory. ©…
