1 Syllabus Exploring the Dolomites SYLLABUS EXPLORING THE DOLOMITES: LANDSCAPE, HISTORY, ECOLOGY, and LITERATURE IN NORTHERN ITALY SUMMER 2019 Instructor: Massimo Lollini Language of Instruction: English UO Credits: 6 Contact Hours: 60 NORTHERN ITALY COURSE DESCRIPTION This unique travel/study- field seminar features a wide-ranging exploration of the Dolomites, recently designated as World Heritage Site by the UNESCO for the distinctive variety of their morphology, geology and landscape. These spectacular and monumental mountains retain traces of extraordinary interest for disciplines such as Geology, Paleogeography, Geomorphology and Paleontology. As the theater of some of the most extreme battles of WWI, they preserve a vivid and painful memory of the Great War that changed forever world history and altered the borders of many countries including Italy and Austria. The seminar will start in Eugene with a pre-departure introduction to the field seminar: 4 classes of 2 hours each during May 2019. During the 2-week journey, we will experience the best of the Dolomites, practice conscious excursions, and an experiential environmental and historical education. We will explore the astonishing natural history and geological wonders of the Dolomites, and the traces of human history in these sublime mountains. Hiking in geological and botanical trails and through tunnels created during WWI, we will become aware of the magnificent natural landscape, becoming appreciative of the contrast the gentle curves of flowery meadows with the extraordinarily varied sculptural shapes of bare, pale-colored towering peaks. The last two days of the seminar will take place at the University of Bolzano where historians and scholars will offer lectures explicitly targeted for our seminar. Students can choose to focus on one of the following 2 areas of study utilizing different critical and disciplinary approaches: 1) Landscape, History and Literature; 2) Geology, Ecology and Photography.

    Landscapes of Glory and Grief: Representations of the Italian Front and its Topography in the Art of Stephanie Hollenstein and Albin Egger-Lienz, and the Poetry of Gustav Heinse By Francesca Roe A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of MPhil in the Faculty of Arts, School of Modern Languages (German), August 2014. Supervised by Professor Robert Vilain and Doctor Steffan Davies Student Number: 1346104 25,000 Words 1. Historicist Idealism and Regional Identities: The Outbreak of War in Austria- Hungary In August 1914, the Berlin dramatist and critic Julius Bab and the Prague Germanist Adolf von Hauffen conducted independent analyses of German-language newspapers, magazines and pamphlets, and both concluded that an astonishing 50,000 pro-war poems were published daily in that month alone.1 Although it is difficult to state with certainty whether the researchers included Austro-Hungarian publications in their estimations (it would have been unusual for the conservative von Hauffen to have ignored the material published in his homeland), a brief survey of the poetry produced in the Dual Monarchy2 confirms that its German-speaking population experienced a ‘Kriegsbegeisterung’ just as profound as that of their German counterparts, a vociferous enthusiasm for war that affected individuals from all classes, generations and professions, and led to a remarkable outpouring of propagandist art and literature across the Habsburg Empire. 1 Klaus Zelewitz, ‘Deutschböhmische Dichter und der Erste Weltkrieg’, in Österreich und der Große Krieg 1914-1918.

  • Ferrate E Falesie Attrezzate
    FERRATE Italiano E FALESIE ATTREZZATE della provincia di Belluno INDICE 03.Ferrate 21.Dolomiti senza confini 29.Falesie attrezzate 39.Parchi avventura Ho imparato così tanto da voi, Uomini… Ho imparato che ognuno vuole vivere sulla cima della montagna, senza sapere che la vera felicità sta nel come questa montagna è stata scalata. — Gabriel Garcia Marquez 3 FERRATE Cos'è una via ferrata? È un percorso, su una parete o all’interno di un canyon, predisposto con strutture e attrezzature artificiali per facilitarne l’accesso e garantirne la sicurezza. Si tratta di un’attività di tipo escursionistico e alpinistico che prevede l’uso di cavi d’acciaio, staffe, scalette metalliche e talvolta ponti sospesi, senza i quali per la progressione sarebbero necessarie tecniche e competenze di tipo alpinistico. Per utilizzare le strutture artificiali che permettono la progressione in parete è necessario dotarsi di un kit specifico da ferrata, costituito da alcuni dispositivi tecnici che garantiscono la sicurezza individuale lungo il percorso. La progressione su una via ferrata è di per sé pratica che si può affrontare anche in autonomia. Tuttavia è altamente sconsigliabile: se non si sa come usare il kit da ferrata, se non si conoscono le proprie reazioni alla verticalità e all'esposizione e se si hanno dubbi sulla propria preparazione fisica è vivamente raccomandato approcciare per la prima volta una via ferrata in compagnia di qualcuno che abbia una buona esperienza su questo genere di percorsi in montagna. La presenza di una Guida Alpina non è obbligatoria, ma consigliabile, in quanto sono proprio queste le figure professionali, abilitate per legge, adatte ad accompagnare un principiante in questo genere di attività.

  • Cortina D'ampezzo
    Cortina d’Ampezzo www.infodolomiti.it THE DOLOMITES, A WORLD NATURAL HERITAGE SITE Listed by UNESCO for their beauty CORTINA - DOLOMITI and scientific importance Pag. 3 www.infodolomiti.it TRULY UNIQUE MOUNTAINS On 26 June 2009 the Dolomites became a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. This status was awarded for their uniquely beautiful landscape and because of the scientific importance of their geology and geomorphology. The Dolomites are listed as a serial property because, despite its size and diversity, the entire range is considered to be a single unit. This extraordinary “fossil archipelago” consists of nine areas spread over five Italian provinces (Belluno, Bolzano, Pordenone, Trento, Udine), although the Province of Belluno is home to the greatest number of these magnificent peaks. CORTINA D’AMPEZZO An exclusive, elegant resort, loved the world over, Cortina is the beating heart of the Dolomites. Surrounded on every side by such magnificent peaks as Tofane, Cristallo and Pomagagnon, these mountains are all part of the Dolomite World Heritage Site, ma- king it the ideal place to experience the full glory of this exceptio- nal environment, with its stunning array of landscapes each with its own special character. Mountain ranges 1 (Pelmo-Croda da Lago), and 5 (Dolomiti Settentrionali) form a crown around Corti- na and also link with the other Dolomite ranges. This open-air laboratory has been a place of pilgrimage for over 150 years for scientists and students, making it the birthplace of some of the fundamental theories in the earth sciences. Cortina owes its enviable fame not only to the splendour of its landscape, but also to the warm welcome it extends to visitors, playing host to international sporting and cultural events that take on a very special magic when set in this mountain location.

  • Borca Di Cadore
    1 Abbiamo immaginato che ogni giorno della vacanza sia un evento unico da vivere e da ricordare…. Le montagne del cane a sei zampe Un soggiorno dedicato al racconto di chi ha fatto la storia del villaggio di Borca di Cadore 26 agosto – 2 settembre 2018 Hotel Mercure Boite – Borca di Cadore Il villaggio “sociale” di Borca di Cadore costruito da Enrico Mattei negli anni 50, acquistato dalla Mi.No.Ter. qualche anno fa, è oggi gestito dalla società alberghiera Hospitality for You. Il nuovo direttore generale del villaggio è il M° Giovanni Gava, pianista e direttore internazionale di orchestre e cori, che ha vissuto qui 25 anni della sua giovinezza, accanto al padre dipendente Eni. Il grande amore per questo luogo e questi monti, il suo desiderio di ricordare e non dimenticare lo spaccato di vita di un tempo ricco di emozioni, lo hanno portato a ritagliare un periodo di soggiorno dedicato esclusivamente a chi come lui ha vissuto quegli anni di appartenenza a una società, quella dell’Eni, che in modo totalmente innovativo, si prese cura dei propri collaboratori anche preoccupandosi delle loro vacanze Le settimane dedicate al racconto di chi ha fatto la storia del villaggio di Borca di Cadore saranno due: da domenica 26 agosto a domenica 2 settembre. www.enipolosociale.com Loc. 244/18 2 Un modo questo per ritrovare vecchi amici e le persone che sono state il fulcro di questo luogo: il direttore Carlo Pomarè, il maitre Sergio Ravetto, lo chef Marcello Nelli … ma dei cocktail che ci preparava Remo Iezzi ve ne ricordate? E le gite proposte da Loris Lancedelli? Vi ricordate lo spaccio del villaggio e i negozianti? e le scarpe di Bonetti a Borca di Cadore? Quanti ricordi… Nulla di triste o melanconico, piuttosto un modo piacevole e caloroso di ritrovarsi insieme con l’occasione di una bella vacanza, anche per riscoprire questi luoghi così belli! Cosa faremo? Intanto avremo occasioni di incontro per provare a riconoscerci, raccontare e parlarci anche insieme ad alcune delle persone che sono state il fulcro di questo luogo.

Many years have passed since it was founded in the Hall of Emblems at the Mountain Museum in Turin, Italy. There is a photo of that meeting showing the nine representatives who first roped up together as a smiling team. Year after year, many others joined; now there are twenty-eight members. Though the number has tripled, the common goal remains the same as it was back then: to promote, enhance, and preserve mountain cinema. In twenty years, cinema has changed completely, passing from analog to digital systems. Television has also changed, with the growth of thematic channels accessible through smart TVs, computers, tablets, and smartphones, greatly increasing the audience of the works dedicated to the mountains.
