Folk Tradition

The history of the olive tree, its cultivation and its products is known for centuries. Some olive tree have survived over millennia and their history dates back to antiquity. In many cases, it is related to mythology and religion. The olive tree is associated with folk tradition, people's everyday life, and customs. In Greece, monumental olive trees are found in the Peloponnese, Crete, Euboea, Chios, Pelion and Attica.  This paper explores and describes the particular morphological features such as shape, size, wood, cavities and age, as well as the cultural characteristics such as historical or religious events, myths and traditions that define an olive tree and characterize it as monumental. The main aim of our research is to examine the key position that monumental olive trees and their materialistic and symbolic manifestations consist a natural and cultural heritage as well. In this framework the study focuses on various key issues related to monumental olives trees and their natural, historical, social and cultural value.

XVIII. mendearen hondarrak eta XIX.aren hasiera, garai korapilatsuak izan ziren Europan eta Euskal Herrian: eredu ekonomikoaren aldaketa, goseteak, matxinadak, gerrak, kultur ereduetan aldaketa bortitzak… Garaitsu horietan bizi izan zen lan honen protagonista, Juan Ignazio Iztueta zaldibitarra. Euskaraz idatzi zuen hainbat lan. Gipuzkoako dantza gogoangarrien Kondaira edo Historia, lan nagusiak testigantza balio neurtezina du, euskal dantzen aldetik eta orduko gizartearen egunerokoaren inguruan, baina maíz gaizki interpretatua izan da. Artikulu honetan ahalegina egiten da ulermen horrek behar dituen kako nagusiak argitzeko. Eta horrekin batera egungo Gipuzkoako dantza zaharren bilakaera eta tradizioa hobeto ezagutzeko aukera ematen digu. The late 18th and early 19th centuries were turbulent times in Europe and the Basque Country: changes in the economic system, starvation, revolts, wars and violent cultural upheavals… The creator of this work, Juan Ignacio Iztueta, lived during this turbulent period. He was from Zaldibia, in the province of Gipuzkoa. He authored a diverse oeuvre in Basque, of which a principal example: Gipuzkoako dantza gogoangarrien Kondaira edo Historia (A history of memorable dances of Gipuzkoa) is of immeasurable value, due to the information it renders on the ancient dances of Gipuzkoa and in kind, a glimpse into everyday life of society during this period which unfortunately has often been misinterpreted. This rendering has set out to reestablish the key issues in order to obtain a better understanding of the aforementioned issues. It also now offers us an opportunity to understand the tradition and evolution of these historic Gipuzkoan dances.

Abstract As a witness to the history of development, architecture is an important material symbol for recording history and a precious "immovable" historical and cultural heritage. The ancient theater building of the village not only condenses the artistic style of traditional architecture, but also embodies the regional character and heavy folk culture formed in the historical development of a region, and its value is indescribable. This paper takes the most characteristic ancient theater building in Shaanxi Central Plain Region as an example, and it takes the Zouyue Pavilion as the research object, and innovatively proposes the preliminary investigation method of the cultural relics protection which is equal emphasis on the protection and inheritance of the tangible cultural heritage and the intangible cultural heritage, it adopts the cultural relic exploration, field survey, local chronicles research and other methods, through the excavation of the diversified historical information and cultural value of the Zouyue Pavilion, it provides a cultural relic value and research significance basis for its restoration and protection, and more importantly, the precious cultural, historical and social values that can be presented, thus realizing the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage in a real sense.

Olive trees have been of economic and cultural value since pre-Roman times, and continue to dominate landscapes and agriculture in many mediterranean regions. Recent mass losses of olive trees in Southern Italy due to an exotic plant pathogen highlight the need for methods that to monitor the olive trees in a landscape or region operationally. Here, we develop a method for counting olive trees from aerial photographs and test it in areas with a high diversity of olive tree ages, sizes, and shapes. This heterogeneity complicates tree counting as centennial trees often have crowns that are split into multiple segments, resembling multiple crowns, while nearby crowns often form a semi-closed canopy comprising multiple trees. Comparisons with reference counts in two 20 ha sites and over three different years indicate the automated counts tend to be reasonably accurate (median error 13%, n = 6), but heavily influenced by a few olive orchards with particularly high planting densities and a relatively closed canopy in which distinguishing individual trees is challenging. Overall, the algorithm estimated tree densities well (counting 82 to 109 trees/ha versus 87 to 104 trees/ha in the reference counts), indicating the method is suitable to track the number of olive trees over large areas.

Bringing three key issues - Ozu, everyday life and the modern Japanese history - into a unified discussion, The Cinema of Ozu Yasujiro re-examines the renowned film director Ozu Yasujiro and his films from a socio-historical point of view to present a more contextualised contour of his cinema. The new approach will revise the previous tendency in Ozu studies that have emphasised Ozu's formal style, and articulate his consistent effort to explore the everyday life of ordinary Japanese people. The main subjects of this book include major issues of the history of Japan and Japanese cinema from prewar modernism and coming of sound cinema through struggles at war and during the US occupation, and the reconstruction and change of the postwar. It also emphasizes Ozu’s status and role as a studio director in Japanese film industry, with discussions of his generic contributions, such as shōshimin films, family melodrama, and bourgeois drama, which could be established under the constant conflict and negotiation with the studio Shochiku’s everyday realism. Upon this socio-historical context, the book attempts detailed reanalysis of Ozu's films throughout his career, centering on the multilateral aspect of the everyday in terms of space and time, produced through constant negotiation among different genders, classes and generations.

Conceptual Shift

Home district as a process of cultural heritage – the German experience This article examines the interpretations of the home or home district (Heimat), and is based on the memories and experiences of the East Germans. The use of the concept ’home district’ has changed in the West German macro level discourse. Formerly one’s home district was the place in which an individual had domicile rights and duties. From this description there has been a gradual shift towards more diverse connections to personal identity. The concept of home district has changed in accordance with the ever-changing life situations of the post-modern individual. The author has used this conceptual shift as a background to the life experiences of her interviewees. The interviews were conducted in the Mecklenburg area in 2007–2008, in connection to a larger research project funded by the Academy of Finland, entitled ”At home in a conserved house – the East German experience”. The author is aiming to show that the ”secondary knowledge” as related by the inhabitants and the image provided by the official documents of socialist Germany did not meet in everyday life. People give meaning and significance to their home district according to their personal life history and also depending on the type of housing they live in. The three different interpretations of the ’home district’ that have been chosen from the data show that secondary knowledge provides new interpretations of the history of socialist Germany. It is history outside official documents.

Heritage Protection

In the history of (not only national) law protection of cultural heritage,“immateriality” acquires specific significance with regard to at least two perspectives.From one “static” side, which is coessential to “cultural goods”: the intrinsic aestheti-cal-cultural value, detectable since the origins at least in its identity declination. Fromthe other “dynamic” side, typical of the contemporary age: the progressive extension togoods without a corpus, tangible substance, of the category of “cultural goods” consid-ered worth of protection (in a de-reification direction). Both of these two profiles havesignificant impacts on the juridical sphere, in particular on the normative choices aimedat the (national and global) cultural heritage protection. There’s a major example of thisrelevance: the so called “intangible cultural heritage” shaped at an international level(UNESCO), whose safeguarding should be included among the aims of the human rights protection, sharpening the dialectic between individual and collective dimen-sions of “cultural rights”.

Every Olive Tree in the Garden of Gethsemane is a suite of photographic images of each of the twenty-three olive trees in the garden. Situated at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane is known to many as the site where Jesus and his disciples prayed the night before his crucifixion. The oldest trees in the garden date to 1092 and are recognized as some of the oldest olive trees in existence. The older trees are a living and symbolic connection to the distant past, while younger trees serve as a link to the future. The gnarled trunks seem written with the many conflicts that have been waged in an effort to control this most-contested city; a city constantly on the threshold of radical transformation.

In this article, it was initially noted that phraseology is an universal unit of language, an important component that increases the richness of the language vocabulary. However, in addition to the international phraseological units, it is illustrated by the fact that it belongs only to a particular ethnos, peoples, and some English and Uzbek phraseological expressions that express their national and cultural characteristics are considered and analyzed. Such stable associations are a treasure that preserves the nationality and history of any nation
