150 años del descubrimiento del yacimiento cámbrico de Murero (Cadenas Ibéricas, NE España).

2013

The lower-middle Cambrian palaeontological site of Murero (Cadenas Ibéricas, NE Spain) is a classical locality of the Cambrian in Europe. The site was first reported by the French geologist Edouard de Verneuil in 1862, and now it achieves 150 years of geological works contributing to a better knowledge of the Cambrian Period. Murero is an exceptional Lagerstätte because the coexistence of both skeletal and soft-bodied groups along a continuous record of ca. 8 million years, which is subdivided into 14 trilobite zones. Murero was the first palaeontological site in Spain to obtain the highest protection figure (Bien de Interés Cultural, BIC) from the Spanish Administration in 1997. Since then…

Biostratigraphy of the Ribota and Huérmeda formations (Cambrian Series 2) in the Comarca del Aranda (Zaragoza province), Iberian Chains (NE Spain)

2022

This article presents a detailed biostratigraphic analysis of the Cambrian Series 2 Ribota and Huérmeda formations of four sections of the Iberian Chains (NE Spain), and a systematic study of their trilobite faunas. We identified four major assemblages: two in the middle part of the Ribota Formation, one at the base of the Huérmeda Formation and one at the top of the Huérmeda Formation. The studied species permit the assignment of these formations to the middle and upper Marianian and probably lower Bilbilian stages in the regional stratigraphic chart for the Iberian Peninsula, which correlates with an interval around the Cambrian Stage 3–4 boundary. The assemblages exhibit a great correlat…

Ethical E-Participation

2015

The most recent forms of e-participation seem to provide new issues that need to be discussed. One such discussion involves the role of GIS. Can an ethically aware GIS be conceived? What does it mean for a GIS to be ethical at all? Throughout this paper, first the authors create a theoretical framework to encompass four key elements that lead us to the definition of ethical digital mapping: GIS ethics, social justice, power, and participation. Then they introduce the concept of PPGIS (Public Participation GIS), and argue that only a ‘qualitative turn' can enhance their importance in decision-making processes. Finally, the authors discuss an experiment that is currently taking place in Paler…

Walking through Dangerous Neighbourhoods: Ethics and Qualitative Research in Palermo

2013

“Ethical considerations are clearly important in the practice, subject matter and research priorities of geography. […] Cultivating a dialogue on ethics […] contributes to us becoming more fully conscious human beings” (Routledge, 2010: 399). This presentation implies that ethics must become an important topic to be discussed in geographic qualitative research. The case study is an action-research project, which took place in Palermo focusing on the way different neighbourhoods are nowadays perceived in the city. A particularly significant case presented is the (in)famous ‘ZEN’ neighbourhood: in 2005, some Dutch college students came to Palermo to visit the ZEN neighbourhood, and were accom…

Etnografia, auto-biografia, storie di vita

2020

Se è banale osservare che ogni scrittura letteraria, narrativa o poetica, anche quando non esplicitamente diretta al racconto della propria vita, contiene spesso deliberati o inconsapevoli riferimenti alla biografia umana e intellettuale dell’autore e ne rivela le inclinazioni ideologiche, non altrettanto banale è sottolineare come certe strategie e certi esiti narrativi, anche accidentali, possano ritrovarsi in una scrittura, quella antropologica appunto, che si dichiara (o almeno per lungo tempo si è dichiarata) scientifica e che pretende, pertanto, di offrire descrizioni e interpretazioni obiettive, asettiche potrebbe dirsi, di realtà culturali “altre”. Non è d’altronde questionabile che…

LEUKASPIS: UN ELEMENTO INDIGENO NELLA RELIGIOSITA SICELIOTA?

1991

Attraverso l'esame di un'epigrafe proveniente dall'Heraion di Samo si analizza un brano del IV libro della Biblioteca Storica di Diodoro Siculo relativo al culto di eroi sicani nella Sicilia orientale, che secondo l'etnografia antica era invece abitata da Siculi. L'obiettivo è mostrare l'uso della strumento mitico da parte dei Greci a scopo di legittimazione politica.

Heroic memory and polis: Achilles and Athens in Zosimus’ Historia Nova

2013

At the time when most people believe in the intercession of the holy man to save the city from barbarians or natural disasters, heroic memory still seems to be venerated by the last pagans. Two passages from Zosimus’ Historia Nova (IV 18 and V 6) tell us how Achilles saved Athens.The first time, the city was spared the earthquake that devastated much of Greece during the empire of Valens; the second time, the city was preserved from Alaric’ ravages in 396-397, thanks to the supernatural precence of Athena Promachos too. These events, told only by Zosimus, are of great importance in the historian’ view, according to whom the neglect of Roman ancestral religion brought about the decline of th…

On ASEM and the Cartography of Asia, Africa and Europe

2015

The ASEM has been growing steadily in size and scope since its inception in 1996, and probably continues to do so in the future. The article tries to map both the history of the concepts for depicting the classical continents and their very flexible boundaries, as well as a possible future course for ASEM from a cartographic point of view, especially in regard to the importance of and interest in Africa that most current ASEM members are showing. This is also considered as one of the future recommendable directions for the expansion of ASEM. peerReviewed
