Impacts of climate change on cultural heritage; The case of the Greek theatre of Dionysus

Climate change is an ongoing fact with evident impacts on earth, humanity and our heritage. The management and protection of heritage from the effects of climate change should be taken into consideration, so as to act dynamically and immediately, since the effects of climate change are rapidly evident in all aspects of life. The objective of this research is to study the vulnerability of the ancient Greek Theatre of Dionysus, as it forms a monument with embedded heritage values exposed to the climate change. This case study is the tangible result of a particular cultural and historic research, bearing historic knowledge, cultural meanings via a recognizable architectural structure and it reflects the conjunction of culture with society and nature. Materiality and its pathology combined with the condition of the natural landscape and the altering pattern of cultural tourism can lead to the study of climate change imprint on this kind of heritage, which should be examined as a wholeness of culture and nature. The uniqueness in the Theatre’s identity and historic path deserves interpretation of the effects of climate change, so as to manage adaptation, proactive planning, mitigation and dissemination of the discovered results.

Fifty Years On: Founding Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

Fifty years after Freud’s death we feel the time has come to revisit epistemic assumptions and Freudian theory. The Italian Society of Relationship Psychoanalysis (S.I.P.Re) is about to launch a new psychoanalytic journal, open to all, as a space for discussion, exchange, and research. It is generally known that Freud was the greatest contributor to the study of psychic distress in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is appropriate to look to Freud, then, for the theoretical and technical basis for psychoanalytic psychotherapy with the aim of making psychoanalysis practicable for neuroses and psychoses, in the private and public sectors. Our study and research efforts are channeled towards Ricerca Psicoanalitica as the tangible result of the project.

Carnival violation of stereotypic norms as a way to eco-consciousness (based on the English-language animated discourse "Zootopia")

The article focuses on the problem of carnival violation of simplified and generalized ideas about the world in the English-language animated discourse of the film "Zootopia". The question of carnival violation of stereotypes is for the first time studied in terms of ecological or non-ecological impact on consciousness. The article consistently considers the problems of development of ecological consciousness; stereotype as a tangible result of the processes of simplification and generalization in the common consciousness of people which prevents the development of "healthy" interaction between people and with the natural world. In what way animation discourse: embodies the features of the carnival defined by M. Bakhtin; exposes the shortcomings of people through the prism of stereotypes about animals and due to its paradoxical nature helps to establish the ecological norm. The material of the English-language animated discourse of the film "Zootopia" examines cooperation of carnival elements: ambivalence, universality, grotesqueness, symbolism and corporeality with verbal and nonverbal modes, and their influence on infraction and ridicule of stereotypes; how in the result of the carnival violation of stereotypical norms a new ecological norm is formed, which contributes to the ecoliteracy increase in society, encourages to solve environmental problems and promotes the establishment of "healthy" relationships with nature and its phenomena.

Intelligent and Civilized Sentiments

This chapter tells the history of some of the elements that contributed to the declining use of the death penalty in North Carolina. Journalist Nell Battle Lewis railed against the practice as racist, un-Christian, and barbaric. Paul Green echoed those sentiments as he campaigned to save death row inmates from death. Yet their activism had little tangible result. More significant was a change in state law that allowed juries to formally recommend mercy following a conviction, meaning that judges were no longer required to deliver mandatory death sentences. The end of the mandatory death sentences ended executions, which ceased in 1961 and would not resume until 1984.

Pre–Emption Right of Shareholders to Purchase Shares for Sale in Private Limited Liability Companies: The Problematic Legal Remedies

This article analyses the problems that can arise when implementing the rights of shareholders in private limited liability companies to purchase the shares of another shareholder being for sale in priority to others and the possible legal remedies for violated rights. According to the practice of the Lithuanian Supreme Court, the rights of the buyer cannot be assigned to a private limited liability company shareholder whose pre-emption right to purchase the shares being for sale has been breached. However, in this article it is being argued that perhaps in certain exceptional cases, in order to create fair business practice and ensure a “tangible” result for the plaintiff in relation to the judgment, the court could (should) take advantage of the freedom to maneuver and, by implementing justice, change the method of restitution (pertaining to the subject) – assign the shares to the plaintiff (an aggrieved shareholder) simultaneously creating an obligation on the same person to settle properly with the last owner of the disputed shares.

About Building Stereotomy

This contribution tries to reintroduce Stereotomy within the field of “research by design”: the discipline, in fact, can be used as a means of re-composition of the design, project and execution phases. Starting from the origin of this break-up, the focus moves to the actual value of geometric and formal prefiguration and to the validity criteria that make its re-introduction desirable, both as educational discipline and design tool. In addition, it's suggested a line of research related to its critical update and the methods through which figure out the possible outcomes of its application. Particular attention is given to the prototype: only the material realization allows to obtain a tangible result to creative speculation. In the last part 7 stone prototypes will be presented. They have been developed during recent years as a result of the attempt to combine multiple instances into a synthetic architectural object.

Symbolic and Concrete Demands in Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Researchers have recently leveled criticism at the realist approach to conflict resolution by pointing out the importance of symbolic aspects of this issue. Few studies, however, have hitherto focused on symbolic demands in conflicts. The present study examines the role of symbolic as well as concrete demands in conflict resolution, and is therefore innovative in this regard. A demand is categorized as “concrete” if it is based on an interest that is viable and applicable, in that it involves tangible resources that may change hands or be divided. A “symbolic” demand, on the other hand, pivots on either refraining from or taking action rather than on a tangible result. With reference to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this research suggests that the relationship between symbolic and concrete demands can serve as a tool for achieving conflict resolution – not only by compensating for symbolic demands with concrete demands and vice versa but also by balancing between the symbolic and the concrete aspects within the same demand. These findings may have valuable implications for the use of symbolic discourse as an instrument to transform conflicts.

SOE and British Involvement in the Belgrade Coup d'État of March 1941

On March 27, 1941 a coup d'état in Belgrade overthrew the Yugoslav government which only two days previously had signed the Tripartite Pact in Vienna. In its place was installed a new government headed by General Simović, chief of the Air Staff, while the regent, Prince Paul, was replaced by the young King Peter II. It was widely expected that the Simović government would renounce the Pact and align itself firmly with Britain against Germany. Although this expectation was to be disappointed, the anti-German and pro-British intent of the coup was accepted by both Churchill and Hitler. Churchill declared that the Yugoslav nation had “found its soul,” and in his postwar memoirs described the coup as “one tangible result of our desperate efforts to form an Allied front in the Balkans and prevent all falling piecemeal into Hitler’s power.” Hitler, convinced that Britain had “pulled the strings,” ordered the Yugoslav invasion for April 6.

The Second Peace Conference at the Hague

In his address to the First Peace Conference on May 20, 1899, President De Staal remarked:The name “ Peace Conference,” which the instinct of the peoples, outstripping in this respect the decision taken by the governments, has given to our reunion, well indicates the essential object of our labors. The “ Peace Conference ” cannot fail in the mission incumbent upon it. It must produce from its deliberations a tangible result which the whole of humanity awaits with confidence.Such was the keynote of the salutation with which doubt and pessimism were greeted upon their arrival at The Hague in 1899. Certainly, in 1907 the nations, after the impressive lessons taught by two terrible wars, whether anxious participants or silent witnesses, have a still more ardent desire for permanent peace, and the duty owed by the governments to humanity is not less solemn or less evident.
