Sarajevo, the Historical Syntax of a Fragmented City. Inés Aquilué Junyent Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Spain - [email protected] After the research done on fragmented cities such as Berlin or Jerusalem by well-known authors, the case study of a new fragmented urban environment is being elaborated: the reconstruction of Sarajevo, ex- Yugoslavian city and current capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The aim of the studies reported here was to identify the inclusion of collective memory in urban space after a warfare conflict. To communicate the real effect of remembrance in public spaces, devastated city is being analysed as an informational field. City overlaps layers of information, layers of history. Each layer has its own space under construction and thanks to these overlaps urban spaces build their own identity. The complex net that connects the different historical layers can be analysed through a morphological perspective, to identify the traces that produce this virtual historical map. The deepness of each trace is directly related with the process that conformed it, this is the reason of analysing spaces under conflict, in view of the fact that they suffer severe, dangerous and permanent urban effects. In this case the Siege of Sarajevo was a recent conflict that took place from April 1992 till February 1996. During almost four years the city changed completely and the present urban planning has to resolve the question of how to maintain the memory of the conflict. The Siege is an irreversible part of the history of Sarajevo and also of its urban space. In that sense the objective is to highlight which strategies are elaborated to face the inclusion of memory in a city that is not physically divided, but after the war was separated by an administrative border between the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska. The studies showed that some historical heritage has been maintained but some other has been mislead. Besides, the society of Sarajevo is elaborating a debate about the space under historical memory such as the construction of The Siege of Sarajevo Museum or the opening of the War Tunnel of Hope Museum. The debate about how to solve the problem about the spatial memory is also a debate about the sustainability of the city. Furthermore, ecology is understood as an evolution of the city that does not eradicate any of its historical layers and its deep informational traces. Sarajevo is involved in a decisive construction of its new social system extremely related with its spatial system and its borders. In addition the discussion about the social and special heterogeneity should be submitted. Keywords: Public space, places, landscape of memory. A102 - MORPHOLOGY AND DESIGN. Historic Patterns: Conservation and Sustainability. Public open spaces of historic centres as a resource for urban re-composition. G. Bertrando Bonfantini Politecnico di Milano, Italy - [email protected] The first informal calls about the cultural heritage by Horizon 2020 program address this issue to a perspective of development of European tourism. This objective has to be carefully considered and discussed. This paper aims to contrast the idea that the future of historic centres in today contemporary cities is to become ‘thematic parks’ oriented to a touristic urban economy. This idea is the epigonic legacy of a banal functionalism, the limits of whom were highlighted

  • Mantua SIMPLY WONDERFUL Piazza Sordello
    MANTUA SIMPLY WONDERFUL Piazza Sordello MANTUA. SIMPLY WONDERFUL Those who arrive in Mantua are captivated by its unique, timeless allure and welcoming atmosphere. A city which enjoys a breathtaking panorama when viewed from the shores of its lakes. It appears as though it is suspended above the water, a protagonist of an almost surreal landscape, composed of a balance of history, art and nature. Mantua is a city to be visited with ample time, consideration and serenity. The city squares, passageways and cobblestone streets invite the visitor to slowly take in every one of its monuments and historic buildings in order to understand just why it has been declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site along with the neighboringneighbouring town of Sabbioneta. Mantua weaves history, art and culture together everywhere and it is surrounded by an unparalleled natural atmosphere. Unique and magical places that make Mantua simply wonderful. 2 View of the city Mantua at sunset 3 Sabbioneta MANTUA AND SABBIONETA: WORLD HERITAGE SITE July of 2008 is the month when Mantua and neighbouring Sabbioneta where introduced to the list of World Heritage Sites as a unique point of importance. Both cities enjoyed moments of great design importance during the renaissance. Designed and created by the same ruling family, the Gonzaga, two different but complimentary models were applied for each location. In fact, Sabbioneta is a newer city realized by Vespasiano Gonzaga in the second half of the sixteenth century as the ideal capital for his duchy; Mantua instead presents itself as a transformation of an existing city, which changed the ancient urban configuration.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 yscit5 7'0S23 Abstract Secession has been noticeably absent from International Relations theory although its role in the creation and recognition of states is clearly relevant. Traditionally, the dominant perspectives in IR have not questioned state formation and this has effectively barred secession as a topic since it cannot be thoroughly treated without looking across the inside/outside divide of state sovereignty. Secession must be placed in its historical context — as a phenomenon only possible in the modem era and only perceived as a global threat in this century. Theorists from other disciphnes who have discussed secession have rehed on a problem­ solving theoretical perspective which has kept them from considering secession as an outcome of problematic assumptions about identity and territory in the international system.

  • Klirnt and Schiele Stephan Kleinschuster May 6, 1997 AR592
    The Evolution of Expressionism In Turn-of-the-Century Vienna: Klirnt and Schiele Stephan Kleinschuster May 6, 1997 AR592 1 1 Until 1897, Classicism in Viennese high art had served as a mimetic construct of the elite society who were both art's staunchest supporters and the purveyors of moral and philosophical values that served as it's staple of judgment. In the following years, from 1898 to 1918, were revolutions of both natures, political and philosophical. The artistic transformation from the Classicism of the Habsburg Monarchy to the expressionism of the Cafe "Nihilism" could be seen most obviously in two of Vienna's foremost artists of the time, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. This paper seeks to compare and contrast the works of these two artists who seem to crystallize the moral, social, political, and artistic upheaval of early Twentieth Century Vienna. It lS fitting that Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele died six months from one another, both of the Spanish influenza, and both in 1918. It is important to note that even though stylistic variables call for their ultimate contrast, they loved and admired one another, and they both stood for the values that defined Secessionism. Their proximity in philosophy makes it all the more profound to discover their differences. In Klimt came classical objectivity housed in a contemporary conceptual framework. In Schiele came the shift to brutal subjectivity that pushed the limits of this framework. Even though, as will be discussed, the similarity of the subject matter seems to remain a constant, the execution becomes the variable upon which the change becomes dependent.

  • Staging Revolution: the Constructivist Debate About Composition
    Staging Revolution: The Constructivist Debate about Composition Introduction Among the relatively few areas of agreement after the 1917 Russian Revolution, two are particularly noteworthy. The first is the widespread perception that the urban environment was chaotic. Whereas few people agreed as to the source of this chaos (choosing to blame it on the capitalists, the architects, or the intelligentsia), almost everyone believed that urban life after the revolution did not justify the sacrifices and traumas imposed by three years of civil war. The second area of agreement concerned the role of the theater: despite continued and almost irreconcilable differences about what the future should look like, there was almost complete agreement that art and theater could be “weapons” or tools in the revolution. Theater, in particular, would lead the way: from Lenin’s project for monumental propaganda (1918) to the Russian futurists’ declaration that the “streets should be a holiday of art for the people,” there was widespread agreement that art should be taken to the streets, that it was capable of communicating messages in a voice which would be understood, and that theatricality was the key to the unification of the arts. Ironically, one of the reasons why constructivism has been so difficult to study is the fact that it was long understood as a form of art which was against the creation of art. But one of the core values of constructivism was not the rejection of art but the belief that the only type of art which has meaning is one which challenges boundaries and definitions, and that part of this challenge concerns the relationship between the audience and the art work, whether we talk about theater, cinema, photography, or objects.

  • The Distancing-Embracing Model of the Enjoyment of Negative Emotions in Art Reception

Revisiting classical aesthetics in the light of recent psychological research, we present a novel model to explain this much discussed (apparent) paradox. We argue that negative emotions are an important resource for the arts in general, rather than a special license for exceptional art forms only. The underlying rationale is that negative emotions have been shown to be particularly powerful in securing attention, intense emotional involvement, and high memorability, and hence is precisely what artworks strive for. Two groups of processing mechanisms are identified that conjointly adopt the particular powers of negative emotions for art’s purposes.

  • What Is Dadaism? Some Explanations and Definitions Dada Was, Officially, Not a Movement, Its Artists Not Artists and Its Art Not Art
    What is Dadaism? Some explanations and definitions Dada was, officially, not a movement, its artists not artists and its art not art. That sounds easy enough, doesn't it? Of course, there is a bit more to the story of Dadaism than this simplistic explanation. Dada was a literary and artistic movement born in Europe at a time when the horror of World War It was being played out in what amounted to citizens' front yards. Due to the war, a number of artists, writers and intellectuals - notably of French and German nationality - found themselves congregating in the refuge that Zurich (in neutral Switzerland) offered. Far from merely feeling relief at their respective escapes, this bunch was pretty ticked off that modern European society would allow the war to have happened. They were so angry, in fact, that they undertook the time-honored artistic tradition of protesting. Banding together in a loosely-knit group, these writers and artists used any public forum they could find to (metaphorically) spit on nationalism, rationalism, materialism and any other -ism which they felt had contributed to a senseless war. In other words, the Dadaists were fed up. If society is going in this direction, they said, we'll have no part of it or its traditions. Including...no, wait!...especially artistic traditions. We, who are non-artists, will create non-art - since art (and everything else in the world) has no meaning, anyway. About the only thing these non-artists all had in common were their ideals. They even had a hard time agreeing on a name for their project.
