The European Landscape Convention is an international treaty of great importance in the European institutional framework, but it contains a number of unclear and controversial points. This article investigates the relationship between the Convention and history, disclosing several critical aspects. In particular, it is worth mentioning that from the text of the Convention the term history/histoire is missing. The essay explores the reasons for this absence, in relation to a more general crisis of historical culture that affects the European nations. This crisis had already been foreseen by a number of authors, such as Jean-François Lyotard, Eric Hobsbawm, Claude Lévi-Strauss and François Hartog. In Italy, the most recent book by Adriano Prosperi (Un tempo senza storia, 2021) investigates the crisis of historical culture in contemporary societies, severely affecting schools and students’ educational programmes. The European Convention apparently shares this approach that constitutes a real threat to a proper knowledge of landscapes as repositories of collective memory and cultural heritage.

Museums, libraries and archives have long been considered the retainers of some form of collective memory. Within the last twenty years, the term ‘memory institution’ has been coined to describe these entities, which is symptomatic of the fact that such places are increasingly linked through digital media and online networks. The concept of the memory institution is also part of the vocabulary used to promote broader cultural integration across nations, and appears in discussions of European heritage and in policy documents concerning the digitization of cultural heritage collections. To explore the relationship between cultural heritage, memory and digital technology further, this paper will examine the large-scale digitization project Europeana, under which museums, libraries and archives are re-defined as cultural heritage institutions or memory institutions. My purpose is to trace the conceptual trajectory of memory within this context, and to address how the idea of a European cultural memory structured by technology holds implications for institutions traditionally associated with practices of remembering.Key words: Cultural heritage, collective memory, digitization, network, memory institution, Europe, integration

Cultural heritage, also in light of Italy's recent ratification of the Faro Convention, is confirmed as the set of resources inherited from the past that communities consider an expression of their values ​​and beliefs. In particular, the intangible heritage seems to clearly express the close link with the methods of construction of memory and identity, contributing to the definition of that pedagogical implication that generates processes of ideological incorporation. The contribution intends to propose a critical reflection on the relationship between identity, intangible cultural heritage and political educational project in Sicily, also following the issue of the guidelines for the implementation of the regional law on the promotion, enhancement and teaching of history, literature and of the Sicilian linguistic heritage in schools

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar como a relação entre identidade, memória e conservação podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento do turismo utilizando elementos do patrimônio cultural do Monumento Natural Os Monólitos de Quixadá. Para isso, desenvolveram-se processos de investigação calcados principalmente em uma abordagem qualitativa com metodologia baseada na análise de conteúdo. Utilizou-se de pesquisas bibliográficas, em fontes documentais e empíricas. Essas consistiram em uma pesquisa de campo indagada a três grupos determinados pelo pesquisador que foram: da comunidade local inseridas na referida Unidade de Conservação (UC) (35 entrevistas), dos governos locais (5) e da iniciativa privada (10) envolvidos com o turismo e a cultura. E a partir dessa averiguação, identificaram-se aspectos da memória coletiva que contribuiu para conhecer a história local e determinando, dessa forma, quais os bens culturais na visão desses grupos que são representativos à cidade e que formam a identidade quixadaense constituindo no seu patrimônio. O trabalho é estruturado em três capítulos: Turismo nas Unidades de Conservação e sua relação com a problemática de estudo; Apreciação do Legado Histórico e sua Importância para o Desenvolvimento Local: O caso de Quixadá/CE; A Herança dos Monólitos de Quixadá: Reflexões, Impactos e Transformação Turística. Em suma, diz-se que as discussões colocadas em tela são referentes a um contexto dialético e subversivo entre grupos sociais que refletem em uma transformação antagônica dos valores culturais existentes nessas áreas protegidas que são permeados pela memória e identidade da população ao longo do tempo acarretando no fator depreciativo da conservação do patrimônio local. Por fim, entende-se que para ocorrer o desenvolvimento sustentável do turismo com enfoque na cultura é imprescindível que a relação entre memória, identidade e conservação se concretize na sociedade local.

Recently, in line with the increased attention paid to cultural tourism in general and to religious tourism in particular, researchers and practitioners have become increasingly interested in the analysis of various aspects related to cultural heritage in order to capitalize on its value by means of its interpretation, thus providing beneficial effects both for tourists and for tourism’s sustainable development. The aim of this research is to analyze the extent to which the methods of interpretation of the religious cultural heritage: guiding tours, quality reception, and relic worship influence the satisfaction of tourists participating in the “Saint Parascheva” pilgrimage, held annually by the Metropolitan Cathedral in Iasi. The data were collected by means of a survey (N = 932) and the information was processed by using the SPSS version 25 program. Our results indicate the significant influence that the potential to worship relics has on pilgrims’ satisfaction compared to other interpretation methods, such as the relationship with the Cathedral’s staff or the possibility of participating in guided tours. Pilgrims’ satisfaction is also perceived differently depending on certain aspects of their socio-demographic profile, i.e., their age and the perceived faith level. This study is relevant for researchers, managers, and students interested in the field of cultural heritage interpretation in genera, and in the field of religious heritage in particular, and could significantly contribute to improving pilgrims’ satisfaction as well as cultural heritage preservation.

Abstract In this article, I engage with Joel Marcus’s recent book on John the Baptist, focusing on the relationship between John and the Dead Sea Scrolls. While I appreciate many parts of his detailed study, I question the claim that John was a former member of the Essenes. Although there are intriguing similarities, the question is how far reaching conclusions we may draw concerning such a relationship. I problematize some aspects of the comparison between the sources. Like many scholars, Marcus refers in particular to 1QS and the site of Khirbet Qumran for reconstructing the Essenes and hence John’s background. In response, I highlight the uncertainty about the Sitz im leben of 1QS in relation to Khirbet Qumran and ask why this particular manuscript should be privileged over others. Not least when it comes to purity halakhah there are many other documents than 1QS from Qumran that are highly relevant to the issue. Finally, I critically evaluate Marcus’s view that John the Baptist had a favorable attitude towards Gentiles, which according Marcus differed from the views of the Essenes.

The European Convention on Human Rights Act 2003 has now been in force in Ireland for ten years. This article analyses the Act itself and the impact which it has had on the Irish courts during the first decade of its operation. The use of the European Convention on Human Rights in the Irish courts prior to the enactment of the legislation is discussed, as are the reasons for the passing of the Act. The relationship between the Act and the Irish Constitution is examined, as is the jurisprudence of the Irish courts towards the interpretative obligation found in section 2(1), and the duty placed upon organs of the State by section 3(1). The article ends with a number of observations regarding the impact which the Act has had on the Irish courts at a more general level. Comparisons will be drawn with the uk’s Human Rights Act 1998 throughout the discussion.

The Relationship

This chapter assesses the relationship between the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and domestic and international legal systems. With the ratification of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the Member States accept to be bound by final judgments of the Court and to implement them in their domestic legal systems. The Convention system does not make any difference as to the set-up of the national legal system or to the hierarchical position accorded to the Convention in national law. This is in line with a purist international law perspective, summarized in Article 27 of the Vienna Convention of the Law on Treaties: ‘A party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty.’ However, from the constitutional law perspective of the Member States, the situation is much more multi-faceted and complex. While it is generally accepted that the Court's judgments are binding and have to be implemented, the relationship between the Convention and the national constitutions as well as between their respective guardians, the Court on the one hand and national constitutional or supreme courts on the other hand, is not seen as one-way and hierarchical, but nuanced and differentiated. Implementation of judgments is accepted to be a duty, but not necessarily without exceptions. The chapter then considers the relationship between the ECtHR and the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
