Plaquette Ineum Anglais ture rmance Cul ic Perfo & Econom What strategies for sustainable employment and urban development planning? FOREWORD The objective of the Forum d’Avignon – Culture, Economy, Media – is to strengthen the ties between culture and economy by turning to networks of experts and working groups in order to recommend points for reflection at an international, European and local level. Ineum Consulting has carried out this study capitalising upon its understanding of public urban development planning policies, its consultants expertise (in the fields of culture, city marketing and media in particular) and its savoir-faire with regards strategic reflection. In 2009, the first edition of the barometer on the cultural appeal of urban areas was presented to participants of the Forum d’Avignon – Culture, Economy, Media. The success of this study resulted in Ineum Consulting (soon to become Kurt Salmon) and the Forum d’Avignon preparing a second edition of the barometer. To what extent is it possible to demonstrate the assumed connections between culture, the appeal of an urban area and its economic and social development? Under what terms would a city or rather metropolitan city be willing to put stock into culture in order to assure its own development against regional, national and global competition? What winning strategies should be deployed, depending on whether the urban area boasts a heritage, a set of skills or enjoys a pool of cultural vacancies? Against the backdrop of the third edition of the Forum d’Avignon – Culture, Economy, Media, held in 2010 at the Palais des Papes based upon the theme “New access, new uses in the digital era: culture for all?”, this study aims to build upon the trains of thought that were brought to the fore in 2009. In particular, it analyses the relationships between culture and development in terms of cultural employment and cultural education. By using data and analysis established on a scientific basis, this study also aims to fuel debate on the most beneficial employment policy that will really showcase and flaunt the best of an area’s assets and qualities. Various performance indicators were studied: culture-related professions of the future, specialist education policies and how to attract skilled workers, the location of industries and employment and, ultimately, the extent to which strategies are coordinated within a city or metropolitan area. The 2010 study includes some new urban areas within the international barometer. It plots a sample group of 47 cities and urban areas in 21 countries onto the Culture Map which was developed in 2009 (cartography of cultural appeal) in order to challenge and validate certain hypotheses and conclusions put forward last year. Furthermore, the 2010 study continues to analyse the links between culture and the appeal of urban areas by focusing in particular on employment and education. The purpose of the various trains of thought put forward in this study is to stimulate debate and do not lay claim to ‘ranking’ different cities in terms of their cultural appeal. For this exact reason, those responsible for carrying out this study invite the sample towns to offer their comments and suggestions ([email protected]).

  • Spanish Women's Poetry of the 1980S and 1990S
    PERIPHERAL VISIONS: SPANISH WOMEN’S POETRY OF THE 1980S AND 1990S DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tracy Manning Muñoz, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Professor Stephen J. Summerhill, Adviser Approved by Professor Rebecca Haidt _____________________________ Adviser Professor Elizabeth Davis Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese Copyright by Tracy Manning Muñoz 2006 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the use of vision (the sense of sight) and visuality (social seeing) in four women poets of the 1980s and 1990s in Spain: Ana Rossetti, Maria- Mercè Marçal, Aurora Luque, and Montserrat Abelló. All four combine the use of vision and visuality with questions of gender performance and identity as a challenge to normative and culturally constructed gender(ed) behavior. The very fact that the majority of the lyric voices in their poems does not have a defined gender, as many of the people that they view do not, permits them to move from subjectivation to subjectification. Through the manifestation of gender “difference,” the various lyric voices leave behind their status as marginalized members of Western gendered culture. Although not all of the lyric voices are ungendered or ambiguously gendered, sufficient questions of, and challenges to normative gendered behavior exist to warrant including these four poets in the same study, despite their ostensible differences. The theoretical framework for this study focuses on Freudian ideas of voyeurism and exhibitionism as well as pleasurable and unpleasurable looking (scopophilia and scopophobia), Foucauldian ideas of power, and Lacanian ideas of the mirror stage and subjectivity.

  • The Order of the Dragon As Reflected in Hungarian and Croatian Heraldry
    1 THE ORDER OF THE DRAGON AS REFLECTED IN HUNGARIAN AND CROATIAN HERALDRY Ivan Mirnik The Order of the Dragon On March 18, 2006 an exhibition (TAKÁCS ed. 2006) opened at the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts, dedicated to Emperor and King Sigismund of the house of Luxemburg (b. Feb. 15, 1368 – King of Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia 1378-1437 – Margrave of Brandenburg 1378 – crowned King of Hungary March 31, 1387 - Roman King July 21, 1411 – crowned King of Bohemia July 28, 1420 – crowned Roman Emperor in Rome May 31, 1433 - d. Znaim, Dec. 9, 1437). In July of the same year it was opened in Luxemburg, at the Musée national d'histoire et art, in a reduced version. Before this exhibition, a symposium was held in Luxemburg in 2005, as an introduction to the forthcoming exhibition (PAULY – REINERT eds. 2005). The authors of both papers presented at the symposium and of the exhibition catalogue have succeeded not only in bringing this ruler and his era closer to us, but also from a historical distance to present his character and deeds in an objective manner. The exhibition itself was excellent and well conceived. At the Emperor Sigismund Exhibition one could, in one room (Section IV – Die Welt der Drachenritter), admire all the paraphernalia of the Order of the Dragon. It was a unique opportunity to see these items, gathered from all over Europe, assembled in one place for the first and probably the last time in history. The catalogue, for instance, listed the famous sword of King Charles Robert's Order of St.

  • THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY of the FIRST OIV AWARDS an Award Created “To Publish a Leaflet Promoting Wine Consumption Aimed at School Children All Around the World”
    1 2020: THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST OIV AWARDS An award created “to publish a leaflet promoting wine consumption aimed at school children all around the world”. In 1930, in issue no. 24 of the “BULLETIN INTERNATIONAL DU VIN”, the OIV – then the “International Wine Office”, founded on 29 November 1924 – publishes regulations governing the first OIV Awards (1) This is a call for applications, firstly, to write text and captions in French or in one of the languages of the OIV “member” countries, and secondly, to illustrate this “promotional leaflet” in support of wine and its health benefits, entitled: “The Truth about Wine”. Candidates are required to indicate the various virtues of drinking wine from “early childhood”: as a “tonic” or “medicinal vehicle in small doses as prescribed by a doctor”. Then they are to specify that, from the age of 10-12, “moderate doses of wine should form part of main meals”. Finally, they are instructed that, for adults, specifically “healthy individuals ... all the reasons in favour of using this beverage should be emphasised”. “The Awards to be given out will be: one prize of 5,000 francs and two of 1,000 francs.” In France, in the context of the struggle against the prohibitionist laws enacted by the United States, all 1930s promotional campaigns in support of (moderate) wine consumption are illustrated by this quote from Louis Pasteur: “Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages." Below: a “Bon Point” bearing an image of Louis Pasteur (the “Bon Point” was a reward given to good students in schools).
