Long, Supervisor Michael Holleran, Co-Supervisor Miroslava M. Benes Richard L. Cleary Danilo F. Udovicki Rabun M. Taylor Heritage Revisited: An Examination of the Built Environment's Historiography, Preservation, and Meaning. by Ilan Vit, Titulo de Arquitecto; Maestro. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2012 Dedication This work has grown out of Love, from those who came before, and Hope, for those still to come. It is dedicated to my parents, Laura & Pedro, in gratitude for their unconditional support and loving care. They have given me life, more than once. May this work be a testimony to their kind effort! Acknowledgements This work benefitted from the richness of innumerable conversations, thoughtful suggestions, and outstanding courses experienced during my graduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin. There were several professors whose knowledge and friendship encouraged the pursuit of this work. First are those involved in the direction and reading of this manuscript: Christopher A. Long, Michael Holleran, Miroslava M. Benes, Richard L. Cleary, Danilo F. Udovicki, and Rabun Taylor. To each of them I owe the manifold expansion of my horizon: Chris helped me see the beauty of simplicity and clarity; Michael, the richness of preservation; Mirka shared her love for the Rome of Galileo and Borromini; Richard encoraged me to face modernity, head on; Danilo opened up the path for communicative action; and Rabun has taught me the precision of archaeology. This work would be nothing, without them. I also want to thank my dear friend Juan Miró, for the wonderful adventures and sites we visited together in the good company of his students and family. My years at Austin were encouraged by his unconditional support and friendship. Finally, there were other professors at UT, whose courses changed my understanding of the world. I am grateful for their vision, especially Thomas Pangle, Jim Hankinson, Bob Paterson, Fred Valdez, and David Stuart. This work was also instigated by the thoughtful and intimate relationships with professors, friends, and collaborators, back home in Mexico, especially Rogelio Rivero Chong, María Teresa Uriarte, Rubén Cabrera, Raúl Salas, Hugo Arciniega, Guillermo Bonfil, Luciano Cedillo, Cristobal Rendón, Xavier Hierro, Guillermo Espinosa, Pablo Rodríguez, Gil Carpinteiro, Miguel Muñoz, Jaime Moreras, Aurelio Nuño, Axel Arañó, José Miguel González, Roberto Rojas, Isaac Broid, Humberto Ricalde, and Carlos Mijares. Thank you all! v Heritage Revisited: An Examination of the Built Environment's Historiography, Preservation, and Meaning. Publication No._____________ Ilan Vit, PhD The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Christopher A. Long Co-Supervisor: Michael Holleran The aim of this work is to understand how certain public buildings play an essential role in the evolution of cultural identity over time. Its main approach distinguishes the denotation of tangible heritage from the connotation of its intangible counterpart. These terms are not understood through semiotics, but, through phenomenology. In other words, meaning is not transmitted by an object; it is adjudicated by a subject. In this sense, the phenomenological experience of such buildings is divided in two: perception brings forth an initial denotation of some universal validity; while memories and dreams engender connotations that are rooted in specific spatiotemporal conditions. In this model, denotation stems from the tangible aspects of heritage, while connotation grows from its intangible dimension. To examine the interaction of these components over time, three case studies are surveyed: Rome's Pantheon, Teotihuacan's Sun Pyramid, and Granada's Alhambra. Their examination begins with an analysis of their basic, primordial denotation, as "centers of power." This type of analysis is followed vi by a condensed history, which identifies the physical transformations that each building experienced over time. Lastly, a series of context companions present a horizon of expectations, from which multiple users at a given time may have received inspiration to elaborate different connotations of meaning. These sections are portrayed as "glimpses" of intellectual history and literary criticism. Their approach is mostly driven by Wilhelm Dilthey's theory of worldviews and Hans Robert Jauss's reception theory. Each case study suggests a different characterization of an overall historical outcome, associated with the cultural evolution of specific groups: the Pantheon reflects some sense of continuity, for Western Civilization; the Sun Pyramid conveys an overwhelming sense of loss, for Mesoamerica; and Alhambra displays a pervasive sense of exclusion, for al-Andalus. The spirit behind these characterizations strives to understand the modalities in which heritage and cultural identity are shaped by the passage of time. Its goal is to increase our awareness about the fragility of the intangible heritage, when it is separated from its tangible substrate. vii Table of Contents List of Figures ..........................................................................................................x INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................1 ROME'S PANTHEON ................................................................................................27 Part I: Condensed History ....................................................................................27 A Homage to the Gens Iulia..........................................................................33 A Temple to All the Gods ............................................................................38 Sancta Maria ad Martyres ............................................................................47 A New Iconography .....................................................................................53 A Vision of Perfection .................................................................................59 Bernini's Restoration ....................................................................................66 The Attic's Alteration ...................................................................................72 The Monument's Isolation ...........................................................................78 Modern Conservation ...................................................................................86 Part II: Context Companion .................................................................................92 A Private Shrine ............................................................................................97 An Imperial Temple ....................................................................................106 A Catholic Church .....................................................................................119 TEOTIHUACAN'S SUN PYRAMID ...........................................................................132 Part I: Condensed History ..................................................................................132 A Mesoamerican Sanctuary ........................................................................136 A Burnt Relic .............................................................................................164 A Mythic Realm .........................................................................................167 A Dormant Mountain .................................................................................178 A Modern Ruin ..........................................................................................189 A Resurgent Shrine ....................................................................................195 viii Part II: Context Companion ...............................................................................198 The Dictator's Pyramid ...............................................................................207 The State's Pyramid ....................................................................................215 The People's Pyramid .................................................................................227 GRANADA'S ALHAMBRA .......................................................................................238 Part I: Condensed History ..................................................................................238 A Rebel's Stronghold ..................................................................................241 A Minister's Residence ..............................................................................246 A Sultan's Palace ........................................................................................254 An Emperor's Illusion ................................................................................282 A Soldier's Garrison ...................................................................................288 An Architect's Masterpiece .........................................................................294 Part II: Context Companion ...............................................................................306

(AT LEAST) THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT ELECTION LIES* HELEN NORTON** Lies take many forms. Because lies vary so greatly in their motivations and consequences (among many other qualities), philosophers have long sought to catalog them to help make sense of their diversity and complexity. Augustine and Aquinas, for instance, separately proposed moral hierarchies of lies based on their differing assessments of certain lies’ relative harm and value.1 Legal scholars too have classified lies in various ways to explain why we punish some and protect others.2 * See WALLACE STEVENS, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, in THE COLLECTED POEMS OF WALLACE STEVENS 99 (Vintage Int’l 2015) (1954).

  • Discografía De BLUE NOTE Records Colección Particular De Juan Claudio Cifuentes
    CifuJazz Discografía de BLUE NOTE Records Colección particular de Juan Claudio Cifuentes Introducción Sin duda uno de los sellos verdaderamente históricos del jazz, Blue Note nació en 1939 de la mano de Alfred Lion y Max Margulis. El primero era un alemán que se había aficionado al jazz en su país y que, una vez establecido en Nueva York en el 37, no tardaría mucho en empezar a grabar a músicos de boogie woogie como Meade Lux Lewis y Albert Ammons. Su socio, Margulis, era un escritor de ideología comunista. Los primeros testimonios del sello van en la dirección del jazz tradicional, por entonces a las puertas de un inesperado revival en plena era del swing. Una sentida versión de Sidney Bechet del clásico Summertime fue el primer gran éxito de la nueva compañía. Blue Note solía organizar sus sesiones de grabación de madrugada, una vez terminados los bolos nocturnos de los músicos, y pronto se hizo popular por su respeto y buen trato a los artistas, que a menudo podían involucrarse en tareas de producción. Otro emigrante aleman, el fotógrafo Francis Wolff, llegaría para unirse al proyecto de su amigo Lion, creando un tandem particulamente memorable. Sus imágenes, unidas al personal diseño del artista gráfico Reid Miles, constituyeron la base de las extraordinarias portadas de Blue Note, verdadera seña de identidad estética de la compañía en las décadas siguientes mil veces imitada. Después de la Guerra, Blue Note iniciaría un giro en su producción musical hacia los nuevos sonidos del bebop. En el 47 uno de los jóvenes representantes del nuevo estilo, el pianista Thelonious Monk, grabó sus primeras sesiones Blue Note, que fue también la primera compañía del batería Art Blakey.

  • Los Moriscos Esp A:Roles a Tra Ves De Sus Manuscritos
    LOS MORISCOS ESPA:ROLES A TRAVES DE SUS MANUSCRITOS ALJAMIADOS María Teresa Narváez Córdova l. Introducción El presente estudio intenta presentar a una nueva luz la situa­ ción histórica, vital, cultural y aún afectiva de la trágica casta de los moriscos españoles en los años que sigüen al final de la Reconquis­ ta en 1492. La situación de estos moriscos ha sido generalmente explorada por historiadores que se basan en fuentes, crónicas y documentos que ofrecen el punto de vista cristiano: los Archivos de la Inquisición, los documentos de la Real Academia de la Histo­ ria y crónicas y documentos de reinos, catedrales y monasterios. Nuestro estudio, por su parte, tendrá como fuente principal la literatura aljamiada, es decir, una fuente morisca. Esto nos permi­ tira una visión un tanto diferente de la tradicional, ya que estare­ mos escuchando el punto de vista de los mismos moriscos que pro­ tagonizaron ese episodio tan completo, tan difícil, pero tan fe­ cundo, de la historia española de los siglos XV, XVI y XVII. MARIA TERESA NAR VAEZ nació en España, hija de padres puertorrique­ ños, en el año de 1955 y se trasladó a Puerto Rico en 1957. Para el año de 1977, se graduó con honores de la Universidad de Puerto Rico donde obtuvo el grado de Bachiller en Artes con concentración en Psicología. Actualmente cursa estudios en la concentración de Estudios Hispánicos de la Facultad de Humanidades. Tiene bajo publicación dos artículos: "San Juan de la Cruz y Algazel", que se publicará en el Boletín de la Academia de la Lengua de Puerto Rico, y otro, realizado en colaboración con la Dra.

This was particularly perplexing to many outside (and within) evangelical circles, because as leaders of America’s “Moral Majority” for almost four decades, prior to Trump’s campaign, evangelicals had insisted that only candidates who set a high standard for personal integrity and civic decency, were qualified to serve as president.
