Spain: commercialization drives public debate and precaution

2000

Since the commercialization of genetically modified (GM) crops and foods in Spain in 1996, these products have become a topic of public concern and conflict. Several important social protagonists from science, industry and civil society have become involved in the public debate. The conflicts have influenced the regulation, improving its precautionary content, in response to social pressures in Spain and elsewhere in Europe. As Spain has become the primary cultivator of GM crops in the European Union, commercial cultivation there has been scientifically monitored for possible long-term environmental effects. Regulators have also asked industry to cease using antibiotic-resistant marker gene…

Comunicare l'esperienza del progetto

2010

Overall, the features dedicated to the publication of the creations of more or less young Sicilian designers are those that give the journal the most original and authentic character, promoting the activity of a generation of architects who over the years come to identify themselves in terms of similar design intentions and common objectives. The publication in «In Architettura» of many buildings in the Sicilian territory, even small houses, makes up the repertoire and contributes to the creation of a group, of a school. Together with the “Esercizi” column, the section called “Esperienza della progettazione” represents one of the main components of the journal which is entrusted with the mo…

The definition of culture in culture-based urban development strategies: antagonisms in the construction of a culture-based development discourse

2013

Implementing culture-based development strategies is a recent trend in large and small cities all over Europe. The definition of culture and the objectives of cultural strategies are highly contested in the public debate. Analysing the newspaper debates on the establishment of the Cultiva foundation in Kristiansand, Norway, this article discusses how and why the discursive debate on the definition of culture creates different discursive positions in the public debate on culture-based development. In the different discourses on what these strategies should be, there are a number of antagonisms that contribute to defining the relationships and interfaces between the different discursive posit…

The ethics of hospitality in changing journalism: The response to the rise of the anti-immigrant movement in Finnish media publicity

2013

This article examines the role of the media in the rise of nationalist populism in Finland. The interplay between social media and mainstream media has facilitated the emergence of anti-immigrant agendas into the public debate, which has strengthened nationalist populist politics, despite mainstream journalism following professional ethics of balanced reporting. The article concludes that the traditional journalistic framework of agenda setting is not morally adequate for the new fragmented media environment. It proposes the ethics of hospitality (Derrida, Silverstone) with an emphasis on transnationalism as a moral goal for a multi-ethnic public sphere where everyone has the right to voic…

Challenges for Creating Visibility of European Cultural Heritage

2019


 
 
 The European Heritage Label (EHL) is a recent flagship heritage action of the European Union and focuses on the European dimension of Europe’s histo- ry and heritage as part of the Union’s cultural policy. One of the central con- cerns of the EU’s cultural policy is to generate a sense of belonging and iden- tity among European citizens. While efficient promotion of the visibility of the EHL among European audiences could be expected corresponding to the political objectives, the EHL continues to struggle with broader public recog- nition. Based on fieldwork findings, the article discusses the visibility of the EHL action as a network of heritage sites that challenges n…

La tumba del orfebre de Cabezo Lucero a debate

2007

Recientemente se ha publicado la monografía sobre la famosa tunba del orfebre de Cabezo Lucero, excavada en 1986 y dada a conocer cínicamente por pequeñas contribuciones hasta su publicación en 2006. Esta tumba, como bien indica el apodo que ha recibido, indica dos ideas: la rareza de la presencia de un equipo de orfebre dentro de la tumba y la voluntad por parte de quienes lo enterraron de distinguir al difunto como artesano. El trabajo que aquí se presenta plantea diversas ideas sobre las tumbas de artesanos. Para tratar el problema se presenta un abanico de tipos y tumbas de artesanos tanto de la Península Ibérica como de otros contextos mediterráneos y centroeuropeos ya que se considera…
