  • Palermo, City of Syncretism: Recovering a Complex
    Proceedings of the 3r International Conference on Best Practices in World Heritage: Integral Actions Menorca, Spain, 2-5 May 2018 PALERMO, CITY OF SYNCRETISM: RECOVERING A COMPLEX HISTORIC CENTRE HELPED BY AN AWARE LOCAL COMMUNITY Palermo, ciudad sincrética: recuperar un centro histórico complejo con la ayuda de una comunidad local consciente Giorgio Faraci (1) (1) Università degli Studi di Palermo - DARCH Dipartimento di Architettura, Palermo, Italia, [email protected] ABSTRACT The Italian site of Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalú and Monreale was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015 as an example of a social- cultural syncretism between Western, Islamic and Byzantine cultures. Palermo has maintained its identity over the centuries as a complex and multicultural site. In 1993 the local government of Palermo, supported by the Sicilian Region with specific Laws and funds, launched a process of regeneration of the historic centre, restoring public monuments as well as encouraging recovery of private houses. A specific planning instrument such as the Piano Particolareggiato Esecutivo (PPE) was implemented and a special office was established to coordinate activities and funding. Local community developed a pro-active attitude over the years, demanding local government to promote more cooperation and coordination between the different stakeholders involved in the recovery process. The civil society emphasised the need to intervene not only on the urban and building fabric but also on the social one, starting from the weakest sections of the population. The support of civil society, with its bottom up approach, and the strong political will of local government, determined in the regeneration of the historic centre, made possible to speed up the process.

EMBODIED CONTESTATION: ALTERNATIVE RITUAL CONCLUSIONS ON THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO by CLARE VAN HOLM Under the Direction of Kathryn McClymond, PhD ABSTRACT Despite its nearly thousand year history as a Christian penitent ritual, the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage has undergone rapid transformation in the last three decades, attracting a specific community of people who see themselves as “authentic” Camino pilgrims. Upon arrival at the shrine of Santiago, the traditional end of the pilgrimage route, many pilgrims express feelings of dissatisfaction. Drawing upon field research and interviews, this paper analyzes the practices of pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago route, at the shrine in Santiago de Compostela, and at the alternative conclusion site in the Galician coastal town of Finisterre. I argue that pilgrim dissatisfaction relates to pilgrim experiences in Santiago that are incongruous with their pilgrimage up until that point. In response, pilgrims have created alternative ritual conclusions that more closely relate to their experience on the Camino route and affirm their identity as “authentic” pilgrims.

  • The Camino De Santiago IV
    The Camino de Santiago IV In 1491, Finisterre was thought to be the end of the earth. During the Middle Ages, many pilgrims who completed their pilgrimage at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela would continue their walk, an additional 40 miles or so, to arrive here at the northernmost tip of Spain to look out over the Atlantic, nothing but endless ocean. This was as far as they could walk in this direction; this was their end of the earth. They must have wondered. In 2000, after completing my own pilgrimage, I took a bus to the base of those very same ocean-side bluffs and hiked up their sides so that I, too, could look at what they saw. I sat there for hours, looking. I also wondered. I don’t know what a religious experience is, and for this reason, I cannot say I have ever had such an experience, but I do know that those hours spent looking over the ocean from the end of the earth were memorable ones, hours that will never be erased until I am gone. Perhaps it was the afterglow of accomplishment of having walked 450 miles, perhaps it was the relief I felt because I no longer had to force myself to strap on a backpack and undertake yet another nine-hour walk, or perhaps I was simply on holiday. I do not know. Perhaps it was the stillness of the day or the rustle of the waves below, the touch of salt in the air, or the joyful shriek of the gull.
