We are here to see Ballet Folklórico Cutumba, one of eastern Cuba’s premier folkloric dance troupes. Although the theater is run down and no longer has electricity or running water, its former el- egance is apparent. As we enter, we see that lush but tattered velvet drapes flank the stage and ornate architectural details adorn the walls underneath faded and peeling paint. Light filters in through high windows. As the per- formance starts, women in elaborate ball gowns enter this dusty stage. They must hold up their voluminous skirts to keep yards of fabric from drag- ging on the floor. Men sport white topcoats with tails and matching white cravats.

  • 'New Challenges for Law: Genetic Edition, Human
    STUDIES ON LIFE AND HUMAN DIGNITY INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR JUNE 21st 2019 ‘NEW CHALLENGES FOR LAW: GENETIC EDITION, HUMAN ECOLOGY, AND HUMAN DIGNITY IN LIFE AND DEATH’ LOCATION: Hauser Hall 105, Harvard Law School DATE: Friday June 21st 2019 Respect for human dignity at the end of life and the limits of power available to each person regarding their own existence have become major issues in the Western world. The aim of this international seminar is to bring new ideas to the contemporary debate on human dignity in life and death in Europe and America in the twentieth and twenty- first centuries. To do this it is necessary to analyze the philosophical principles and historical events that have helped shape the current views on questions as genetic edition, human ecology, human dignity, death penalty, euthanasia, human enhancement or technological singularity, as well as their treatment by public opinion in Western countries. DIRECTOR: José-María Puyol Montero (Universidad Complutense de Madrid). ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: José-Manuel Martínez Sierra (Director, RCC at Harvard), Jane Driver (Harvard Medical School), José-Miguel Serrano Ruiz-Calderón (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), Vicente Bellver (University of Valencia), and María-Luisa Gómez Jiménez (Universidad de Málaga). SPONSORS: Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard University, Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP), The Harvard Law School Criminal Justice Policy Program (HLSCJPP), Tatiana Pérez de Guzmán el Bueno Foundation, and Tirant lo Blanch Publisher. AIM: A day of discussion on genetic edition, human ecology, and human dignity in life and death, directed to Professors, Fellows of Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard and Researchers.

C'est finalement au corps humain que revient le rôle d'agitateur, de stimulateur et d'organisateur de la matière sonore. Au plus intime du corps naît la voix. A l'origine cachée du chant, un mouvement intérieur se traduit en geste phonatoire. La danse n'est pas loin : les pieds, les mains, spontanément, répondent à ce surgissement dont l'oreille assure le relais. Comment naît le geste vocal ? Comment vient la danse ? Comment l'instrument accueille-t-il celui qui en joue, comment s'adapte-t-il à la physiologie humaine ? A quelles impulsions obéissent le souffle, la voix, les mains, les doigts ou les pieds lorsqu'ils se meuvent pour produire des sons, et quelle est la part des automatismes dans le geste "intérieur" - geste "antérieur" au son - qui conduit le jeu du musicien ? Telles sont, parmi d’autres, les questions qui se posent lorsqu’on pense aux mouvements de la musique dans l’homme, lorsqu’on réfléchit aux gestes de l’homme musicien.

  • The Awakening of Endymion
    [Recepción del artículo: 08/08/2019] [Aceptación del artículo revisado: 30/08/2019] THE AWAKENING OF ENDYMION: BEAUTY, TIME, AND ETERNITY IN ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE, AND ITS PHOTOGRAPHIC AFTERLIFE EL DESPERTAR DE ENDIMIÓN: BELLEZA, TIEMPO Y ETERNIDAD EN LA ESCULTURA ROMÁNICA Y SU DEVENIR FOTOGRÁFICO FRANCISCO PRADO-VILAR Real Colegio Complutense, Harvard [email protected] ABSTRACT Focusing on a series of extraordinary photographs of the sarcophagus lid of Alfonso Ansúrez (d. 1093), I delve in this essay into its formal, iconographic and performative aspects as I follow its geographical and temporal iterations in the first decades of the twentieth century. It traveled from the municipal cemetery of Sahagún, where it had been reused as the tombstone of a local townsman, sailing across the Atlantic to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard, and then returning to Spain to become a stellar exhibit in the recently renovated National Archaeological Museum in Madrid. Each of these photographs records a unique intersubjective encounter between the figures carved on the lid, especially Alfonso’s marble embodiment, represented in the mo- ment of his glorious resurrection following classical models of the myth of Endymion, and the persons on the other side of the lens. Notable among them were the art historian Ricardo de Orueta, who was Director General of Fine Arts in the government of the Spanish Republic, and the eminent Harvard medievalist Arthur Kingsley Porter. Made available to many eyes/I’s through their photographs, the sepulchral slab acquired a new

The publication of these first three books attests to the fact that the 2003 Convention has now reached the crucial operational phase. The successful implementation of this ground-breaking legal instrument remains one of UNESCO’s priority actions, and one to which I am firmly committed. In 2008, before my election as Director-General of UNESCO, I had the privilege of chairing one of the sessions of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, in Sofia, Bulgaria. This enriching experience reinforced my personal convictions regarding the significance of intangible cultural heritage, its fragility, and the urgent need to safeguard it for future generations. Rep List 2009 2.15:Layout 1 26/5/10 09:25 Page 3 It is most encouraging to note that since the adoption of the Convention in 2003, the term ‘intangible cultural heritage’ has become more familiar thanks largely to the efforts of UNESCO and its partners worldwide.
