  • Path to Rome Walk May 8 to 20, 2018
    Path to Rome Walk May 8 to 20, 2018 “A delight—great food and wine, beautiful countryside, lovely hotels and congenial fellow travelers with whom to enjoy it all.” —Alison Anderson, Italian Lakes Walk, 2016 RAVEL a portion of the Via Francigena, the pilgrimage route that linked T Canterbury to Rome in the Middle Ages, following its route north of Rome through olive groves, vineyards and ancient cypress trees. Discover the pleasures of Central Italy’s lesser-known cities, such as Buonconvento, Bolsena, Caprarola and Calcata. With professor of humanities Elaine Treharne as our faculty leader and Peter Watson as our guide, we refresh our minds, bodies and souls on our walks, during which we stop to picnic on hearty agrarian cuisine and enjoy the peace and quiet that are hallmarks of these beautiful rural settings. At the end of our meanderings, descend from the hills of Rome via Viale Angelico to arrive at St. Peter’s Basilica, the seat of Catholicism and home to a vast store of art treasures, including the Sistine Chapel. Join us! Faculty Leader Professor Elaine Treharne joined the Stanford faculty in 2012 in the School of Humanities and Sciences as a Professor of English. She is also the director of the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis. Her main research focuses on early medieval manuscripts, Old and Middle English religious poetry and prose, and the history of handwriting. Included in that research is her current project, which looks at the materiality of textual objects, together with the patterns that emerge in the long history of text technologies, from the earliest times (circa 70,000 B.C.E.) to the present day.

  • The Forests of Tuscany (Italy) in the Last Century
    Article Forest Surface Changes and Cultural Values: The Forests of Tuscany (Italy) in the Last Century Francesco Piras, Martina Venturi *, Federica Corrieri, Antonio Santoro and Mauro Agnoletti Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI), University of Florence, Via San Bonaventura 13, 50145 Florence, Italy; francesco.piras@unifi.it (F.P.); federica.corrieri@unifi.it (F.C.); antonio.santoro@unifi.it (A.S.); mauro.agnoletti@unifi.it (M.A.) * Correspondence: martina.venturi@unifi.it Abstract: Despite the definition of social and cultural values as the third pillar of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) in 2003 and the guidelines for their implementation in SFM in 2007 issued by the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forest in Europe (MCPFE), the importance of cultural values is not sufficiently transferred into forest planning and conservation. Tuscany is widely known for the quality of its cultural landscape, however, the abandonment of agro-pastoral surfaces as a consequence of rural areas depopulation, has led to widespread reforestation and to the abandonment of forest management. In addition, due to the interruption of a regular forest management and to the fact that most of the population lives in cities, forests are no more perceived as part of the cultural heritage, but mainly as a natural landscape. Due to this trend traditional forest management techniques, such as coppicing, have also been considered as a factor of degradation Citation: Piras, F.; Venturi, M.; and not even a historical management form. The aim of the study is therefore to analyze forest Corrieri, F.; Santoro, A.; Agnoletti, M. surface changes in Tuscany in the last century to assess the importance of cultural values.

  • Sistema De Memoria Colectiva En El Metro Imagotipos En La Ciudad De México*
    INVESTIGACIÓN 9 Sistema de memoria colectiva en el Metro Imagotipos en la Ciudad de México* Francisco López Ruiz Resumen El Sistema de Transporte Metropolitano (Metro) de la Ciudad de México ofrece un valor simbólico único en el mundo. Desde hace cuatro décadas las estaciones del Metro son representadas mediante íconos o imagotipos. El objetivo de este artículo es contrastar las características gráficas de dos imagotipos y la vinculación con su contexto urbano e histórico: los ideogramas de las estaciones La Noria (tren ligero) y Cuatro Caminos (línea 2 del Metro). El argumento central establece que los imagotipos del Metro y otros sistemas de transporte capitalino forman parte de la riqueza patri- monial y la identidad de la Ciudad de México, ya que simbolizan de manera creativa diversos elementos culturales y urbanos. Abstract Mexico City’s subway icons are unique examples of urban graphic design. The purpose of this essay is to compare two icons –La Noria (urban train) and Cuatro Caminos (subway)– and analyze their historical and cultural meaning or significance. The main argument is that such subway icons stand as symbols of Mexico City’s cultural heritage insofar they represent diverse cultural and urban elements. * Esta investigación pertenece al proyecto Energía y arquitectura sustentable, financiado por la Dirección de Investigación de la, Universidad Iberoamericana, Ciudad de México y el Patronato Económico de la misma universidad (FICSAC). 10 Francisco López Ruiz arquitectos, con lo cual se evita la fealdad El ingeniero Bernardo
