  • Cemeterial Heritage

Art. 4. 2017 Cemeterial Heritage: between materiality and spirit of place Reflection on the valorization and management of death as artistic heritage, sense of belonging and collective memory1 Andréa Michelle Diogo Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto This paper intends to question the Cemeterial Heritage as an artistic materialization and crystallization of a place of memory. To that end it focuses on issues related to its safeguard: on the one hand, it pursuits to detail the Cemeterial Heritage in regard to the practices and the legislation as a heritage asset; on the other hand, it evaluates to which length the adequacy of its management may or may not enhance its values, both material and immaterial, taking into account the fruition of the space and the conservation of its spirit of place.

  • A's News Clips, Friday, February 18, 2011 Oakland A's Rich Harden
    A’s News Clips, Friday, February 18, 2011 Oakland A's Rich Harden sidelined at spring camp By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune PHOENIX -- The A's are just three days into spring training and already face their first notable injury. Right-hander Rich Harden will be shut down for the next two weeks with stiffness in his right side, manager Bob Geren announced Thursday. Harden, a fifth-starter candidate, felt pain underneath his right arm while throwing a bullpen session Tuesday. The training staff monitored his status for two days before the decision to shelve him. "We'll wait until he's pain-free," Geren said. "It's estimated that would be two weeks." Neither Geren nor Harden expressed concern that he would be sidelined long-term. But the injury casts doubt on whether Harden, 29, can be ready for the start of the regular season. The A's also view him as a potential reliever. He wouldn't require as much time to rebuild arm strength in that role. The A's have high hopes for this season, but they're getting an early -- and unwelcome -- reminder of the injury woes that have sabotaged them for the past four seasons. And though team officials are confident with the overall depth they added during the offseason, Thursday's development highlights the gamble they took by targeting players with spotty health histories. Harden, who was drafted by the A's and pitched for them from 2003-08, has been injury-prone throughout his career. After being released by the Texas Rangers in October, he re-signed with Oakland on a one-year, $1.5 million deal.
