Une étude exploratoire des représentations de la gratuité et de ses effets sur le comportement des publics des musées et des monuments
2007
What perceptions of free admission to museums and monuments do French visiting and non-visiting audiences have ? What are the consequences of such perceptions on individuals' perceptions, visit-planning and behavior patterns in museums and monuments ? Research conducted between 2002 and 2003 tried to answer these questions by multiangulation applied to data production and analysis. Results show that free admission alter the perceptions of museums and monuments, it is secondary in planning and implementation of visit-planning, and finally it can spark a learning process from the visit that results in the appropriation of a free admission scheme. Conclusions are related to the need to create …
The Palaeontological heritage of Ribeira de Cacela (Algarve, Portugal). Its preservation in the Portuguese context
2021
The protection of palaeontological heritage is justified by its own specificity, which results from its limited visibility, spatial variability, irreproducibility and importance as a record of past biodiversity. Until the present in Portugal the laws concerning the preservation of natural areas are focused mainly on the protection of threatened living species and their habitats, neglecting any geological aspect, and even less the concept of palaeontological heritage. The present analysis refers to the fossil-site of Ribeira de Cacela, included in the Natural Park of Ria Formosa (Algarve, southern Portugal), which represents a site of great paleontological interest. No particular palaeontolo…
Il restauro del moderno: la centrale termoelettrica di Giuseppe Samonà, Augusta (SR)
2014
Negli anni Sessanta, l’industria elettrica era la forza motrice del processo di industrializzazione in Sicilia. La centrale termoelettrica di Augusta fu la prima grande opera a lanciare lo sviluppo dell’isola, partendo dalla costa sudorientale. Nel 1956, l’incarico della sua progettazione fu assegnato a Giuseppe Samonà, uno dei più importanti architetti italiani del XX secolo, a quell’epoca preside dello IUAV. La centrale, adesso dismessa, che può considerarsi come un pregevole esempio di architettura industriale, si trova all’interno del polo petrolchimico di Augusta, in connessione diretta con il porto e la città. Si tratta di un luogo storicamente estremamente stratificato, in cui la cit…

Ancient bridges of Sicily: punctual signs of a past that disappears
2018
Sono indelebili i segni lasciati dall’uomo sul territorio, testimonianze che il tempo conserva e la storia ci consegna e il cui insieme costituisce una trama fittissima che si sovrappone alla struttura fisica dell’ambiente, integrandolo e modificandolo. Grandi opere, monumenti universalmente riconosciuti come capolavori della mente e delle mani dell’uomo, ma anche opere minori, manufatti d’uso comune, beni isolati che costituiscono gli elementi puntuali di una più vasta e complessa organizzazione di fenomeni insediativi, le tessere di un mosaico ricco di sfumature e riflessi, frutto di un lungo processo di stratificazione storica. Alla categoria dei beni isolati appartengono le torri, i cas…
Aportaciones hidrogeológicas al estudio arqueológico de los orígenes de la Edad del Bronce de La Mancha: la cueva monumentalizada de Castillejo del B…
2014
Estudios recientes indican que las motillas, asentamientos de la Edad del Bronce de La Mancha, pudieron ser las más antiguas captaciones de agua subterránea en la Península Ibérica. Pero ¿por qué no existen motillas en el Campo de Montiel, territorio ubicado tradicionalmente en esta área cultural? En Castillejo del Bonete, sitio arqueológico situado en esa comarca, existe una cueva que fue utilizada y sellada durante la Prehistoria Reciente. Se presenta ahora la primera investigación paleohidrogeológica interdisciplinar en La Mancha, que ha analizado manantiales y niveles de agua subterránea del acuífero de Campo de Montiel, así como el interior de la sima de Castillejo del Bonete. Las conc…
Les Hypogées d'Arles-Fontvieille et leur environnement : nouvelles perceptions, nouvelles perspectives
2014
Due to their unique architecture and the exceptional dimensions of the largest monument in the group, the Arles-Fontvieille hypogea are among the most remarkable megalithic monuments in Europe and the western Mediterranean region. A collective research program was launched in 2013 to study these well-known monuments which have, paradoxically, been the subject of relatively few field studies since the 19th century. The research program consisted of an inventory and analysis of the grave goods and associated artefacts, as well as a number of field studies providing an improved archaeological context of a megalithic group too often thought of only in terms of funerary monuments. Various traces…
