“The (anti-)establishment blues”: la doppia geografia di Sixto Rodriguez tra marginalità e sovversione
2016
The life and career of Sixto Rodríguez, the American folk-singer born in Detroit in 1942, weave together two different places. On the one hand, we find Detroit where at the turn of the Sixties Rodríguez recorded two albums without success. On the other, there is Cape Town where unknown to Rodríguez his music became very influential and its subversive contents found an unexpected space of resonance. This paper aims at investigating the double geography emerging from this astonishing musical biography. The analysis will focus on the complex relationship between musical practices and spatial formations, examining how power geometries shape and carve the field of their mutual production. If the…
Les cités des Eduens et de Chalon durant l'Antiquité tardive (v. 260-530 env.). Contribution à l'étude de l'Antiquité tardive en Gaule centrale.
2005
This research deals with the evolution of two of the main ciuitates of the Lugdunensis prima province. It explores their territorial organisation, social and economic structures between the emergence of the Gallic Empire (260 AD) and the end of the kingdom of the Burgundians (530 AD).After tackling the methodological, archeological and historical issues raised by the study of the two ciuitates, it focuses on the city of Autun, on its small neighbouring towns (including Chalon), rural areas and religious practices. The last part is a synthesis of the data, which is set in a historical and chronological framework. This part aims at highlighting the different stages of social developments in t…
Deepening Inside the Pictorial Layers of Etruscan Sarcophagus of Hasti Afunei: An Innovative Micro-Sampling Technique for Raman/SERS Analyses
2019
The Hasti Afunei sarcophagus is a large Etruscan urn, made up of two chalky alabaster monoliths. Dated from the last quarter of the third century BC, it was found in 1826 in the small town of Chiusi (Tuscany- Il Colle place) by a landowner, Pietro Bonci Casuccini, who made it part of his private collection. The noble owner&rsquo
Uwarunkowania funkcjonowania czasopisma Towarzystwa Ziemi Kozielskiej w społeczności lokalnej pogranicza etniczno-kulturowego
2017
Artykuł podejmuje temat funkcjonowania czasopisma regionalnego o nastawieniu naukowym w środowisku nowo powstałej po II wojnie światowej zbiorowości miejskiej. Środowisko miejskie składa się z przedstawicieli różnych grup regionalnych i etnicznych, które w powiązaniu z robotniczym charakterem miasta nie sprzyjało inicjatywom z pogranicza kultury symbolicznej i nauki. „Szkice Kędzierzyńsko-Kozielskie” stały się czasopismem odzwierciedlającym w ostatnim trzydziestoleciu wydarzenia w mieście i losy jego mieszkańców. Zastosowana analiza zawartości treści pozwoliła na ustalenie tematyki i ilości tekstów w nim publikowanych oraz środowiska osób piszących. Towarzystwo regionalne przejęło rolę ośro…
Kuldīgas pilsētas sarukšanas tendences un stratēģiskie risinājumi
2018
Pilsētu sarukšana un stratēģiskie risinājumi ir plaši izpētīti lielajās pilsētās, bet ir ļoti maz pētījumu, kā šis process izpaužas un ietekmē mazās pilsētas (ar iedzīvotāju skaitu līdz 25 000), kurām pieder arī Kuldīga. Kopš 1999.gada iedzīvotāju skaits Kuldīgā ir samazinājies par 18,6% jeb 2449 iedzīvotājiem. Līdz ar to par darba mērķi tika izvirzīts izstrādāt priekšlikumus Kuldīgas pilsētai, balstoties uz līdzšinējiem sociālekonomiskajiem procesiem un labās prakses piemēriem Eiropā un citviet pasaulē. Pētījuma ietvaros tika analizēta sarūkošo pilsētu stratēģisko risinājumu pieredze, sekundārie dati, kā arī tika veikta trīs spēkā esošo Kuldīgas novada teritorijas attīstības plānošanas dok…
Els serveis socials municipals en risc de desaparició. L'avantprojecte de Llei de racionalització i sostenibilitat de l'Administració local
2013
This bill endangers the municipal social services system because it deeply modifies the conception thereof (leaning social services towards charity), the distribution of powers (taking competences to the town and city councils) and the public responsibility (encouraging private management and the commercial exploitation thereof). During the last thirty years, the Social Services system had been consolidated throughout Spain, being the proximity to the citizenry its most fundamental value. Such proximity has been achieved thanks to the benefits provided by the town and city councils, which have become the closer public bodies to citizens and their needs with great capacity to understand and …

Architettura e natura nei centri minori in Sicilia. Esperienze temporanee di progetto: la cascata di San Nicola nella valle di Bolognetta
2021
The current Covid-19 emergency has revealed the crucial role of the health issue, not only in terms of healthcare facilities, but also in new ways to get better, spend more free time outdoors, eat healthy and revive the economies of Local communities. Action research takes on a leading role of the Recovery Fund, of the Green New Deal in order to identify better opportunities and strategies, increasing administrative capacities and skills in small towns, through a better use of available European, national and regional funds aimed at regenerate places that until yesterday were considered on the margins. The small towns must have territorial projects capable of combining development and susta…
Les agglomérations celtiques pré-Conquête en Gaule du Centre-Est. Apport des travaux du PCR « agglomérations antiques de Bourgogne, Franche-Comté et …
2019
Depuis les années 1980, l'étude du fait urbain antique est l'une des questions les plus étudiée sur le territoire des dix départements formant le centre-est de la France. Le développement d'un programme collectif de recherche sur ce thème en 2012 a permis d'en dresser un nouvel inventaire et de rassembler une donnée souvent disparate. Ces travaux ont plus particulièrement porté attention aux phases initiales de mise en place du réseau urbain, en tentant, à l'aide de ces données et de nouvelles prospections, de disposer d'une vision évolutive des sites les plus marquants. Malgré les grandes difficultés méthodologiques et documentaires rencontrées, il apparaît assez nettement que la période a…
TERRITORI TRASVERSALI. Centri minori rurali e industriali in Sicilia e Spagna
2021
The orographic and natural conditions, together with small towns’ cultural, heritage and industrial conditions, have become the landscape of relationships between spaces where silence, slowing down and acceleration define the urban and human imaginary of these transversal territories. Although very different from each other in terms of topographical location, traditions and cultural and linguistic specificities, it is possible to find constants of criticality and potential. This essay illustrates new read¬ings and settles meanings to initiate a collaborative work in Sicily and Spain along the Trasversale Sicula and in the mining landscape of the Minas de La Reunión in the province of Sevill…
