Ecovillages in Spain: Searching an emancipatory social transformation?

2018

Today the second most important country after the United States, in the number of ecovillages, and by far, the most prominent in Europe, is Spain. The question to be addressed here is whether this revival or boom of ecovillages in Spain is an incipient social transformation and cultural change, following Erik Olin Wright theory of emancipatory social transformation. This work is divided into five main sections. The first one introduces three different approaches that remark the importance of ecovillages for radical cultural and social studies. The second part explains the methodology performed for the study of 29 ecovillages in Spain, using six critical variables on material interests and i…

Social capital development of rural community based on social networking activities in Lithuania

2018

The scholar literature on simultaneous using of social capital explore knowledge and identity resources as well as actions and interactions benefiting the community through personal bonds of individuals; issues of common trust; and adapting the current understanding in new situations. In this article, we instead examine rural community influence on social capital building of adult person in a virtual community. A quantitative survey was done in 246 local rural communities in Lithuania which reflected their community activities on a virtual basis. From the data of 500 informants we found that rural community (human social network) members were also active in the virtual communities. Research…

Verso una dimensione narrativa delle mappe

2021

Tra il pensiero e la costruzione dell’architettura il disegno ha un ruolo baricentrico per connettere i diversi protagonisti di una realizzazione e per coinvolgere la collettività facendo percepire inedite prospettive. La scrittura si rivela utile per esplicitare ciò che nella grafica è sotteso e per stabilire un ordine nuovo nel ragionamento progettuale. I rapporti fra segni e significati si moltiplicano nei sistemi informativi recenti in cui si ha la sensazione di poter dire moltissimo (dati numerici e spaziali) ma a volte sfugge quella sintesi indispensabile per una interpretazione concreta, finalizzata alla costruzione di possibili esperienze fisiche. Per l’esplorazione dell’uso di dive…

Between the idea and the construction of the architecture the drawing plays a central role to connect the different protagonists of a project. It involves the community by envisaging unprecedented perspectives. Writing is useful to explicit the graphics and establish a new order in the design reasoning. The relationships between signs and meanings multiply in recent information systems in which it seems possible to conclude a lot (thanks to numerical and spatial data) but sometimes a synthesis is missing though that synthesis is fundamental to create new physical experiences. For the exploration of the use of different architectural languages and for the push towards the project rather than a sterile cataloging the case of the Piano Programma for the historic center of Palermo (Giuseppe Samonà Giancarlo De Carlo Umberto Di Cristina Anna Maria Sciarra Borzí 1979-82) reveals to be ambitious. Giuseppe Samonà integrates the classical representation based on Monge's projections with photographs and iconic drawings associating signs with a linguistic-structural communication capable of expressing the relationships between the parts at the basis of a morphological approach to the plan. The graphic story ("second language") of the urban fabric has creative implications expressed by images and annotations ("first language") useful for decoding them. Since the plan focuses on the potential of a storytelling that orients the imagination of its readers (designers citizens politicians) it can contribute to the study titled "B4R– BRANDING 4 RESILIENCE - Tourist infrastructure as a tool to enhance small villages by drawing resilient communities and new open habitats” as a starting point for the mapping in which GIS analysis and multidisciplinary data (geometric topological and quantitative) relating to some villages of the internal Sicily shall translate into a new architectural urban and landscape quality.Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E Urbana

A group of metals from the Bronze Age village of l’Arbocer (Font de la Figuera, Valencia)

2005

In this paper, we present a study of a group of cooper and bronze objects that were found by chance in the Bronze Age village of L’Arbocer (Font de la Figuera, Valencia). The main aims are the description of the objects and the results of the X Ray Fluorescence analyses. Moreover; a short fieldwork season has been carried out, which has allowed us to determine the archaeological context of the metals and to establish their connection with a possible area of metallurgical activity. The village of L’Arbocer is located on the border of the provinces of Valencia, Alicante and Albacete. This is very interesting in helping us to evaluate the presence of a possible metallurgy workshop and its chro…

L’ecologisme dels pobles. “Poca gent et dirà que és ecologista, però fem com si ho fórem perquè ho hem viscut de sempre”

2019

Aquest article desafia el sentit comú que ens informa que el desenvolupament socioeconòmic, al llarg de la història, ha comportat una millor consciència medi ambiental, una visió comunament acceptada que ha rebut suport teòric de la tesi postmaterialista. A partir d’un estudi qualitatiu –portat a terme a pobles que envolten el Delta de l’Ebre i l’Albufera de València— l’anàlisi d’enquestes que tracten temes mediambiental i l’anàlisi de les petjades ecològica i material, demostrarem com aquesta manera postmaterialista d’entendre el medi ambient, aliena la conscienciació mediambiental de les pràctiques i estils de vida. I el que és encara més importat, aliena la consciència mediambiental del …

Strategie di re-uso compatibile per i borghi montani siciliani del Parco delle Madonie: il caso di Pusterna

2021

Il patrimonio edilizio storico è da sempre oggetto di studio per ogni riqualificazione per rispondere alle nuove esigenze della società. Le attuali trasformazioni devono tenere conto della compatibilità delle nuove esigenze con la conservazione delle testimonianze storiche; particolare attenzione va riservata ai borghi storici che devono essere riconosciuti come dotati di un patrimonio inestimabile. Lo studio mira alla valorizzazione e al recupero di edifici residenziali storici a Pusterna, frazione del borgo medievale di Petralia Sottana, centro minore delle Madonie, in Sicilia, con approccio bioclimatico e strategie passive. L'obiettivo della ricerca è migliorare la qualità della vita nei…

Il patrimonio artistico dei primi borghi rurali siciliani di fondazione attraverso la documentazione fotografica del Fondo Accascina

2020

The paper analyzes the unpublished photographic documentation in the box n. 111 of the Accascina Fund, stored in the Sicilian Regional Library of Palermo. This unknown archival heritage is crucial in order to trace the artistic aspects of the first rural villages built in Sicily in 1940, following the law for the colonization of the Sicilian rural areas. Through the analysis of these photos, the decorative works that were found in these villages are identified: today most of them no longer exist and, in some cases, there is no other evidence. In this way, the contribution aims to give value to the lost artistic heri- tage and, indirectly, to this part of the Fund. In addition, it seeks to d…

Arte e architettura nei borghi rurali in Sicilia

The intervention analyzed the artistic aspects of the first eight rural villages built in Sicily in 1940 following the law on the colonisation of the Sicilian rural areas. The artistic decorations present were incorporated into the public architecture of the new villages, especially in churches, "Case del Fascio" and other buildings destined for the common services. They have been identified and classified considering the unpublished photographic documentation in box no. 111 of the Accascina Fund, stored in the Regional Library of Palermo, and the images reproduced by the publications of the time, found through bibliographical researches. Works of art were considered by distinguishing them …
