Il 7 ottobre 2006, alla cerimonia per il conferimento, nella Sala del Consiglio Comunale di Palazzo d'Accursio, erano presenti Alexander Schischlik, il coordinatore della Global Alliance, che ha consegnato il certificato di nomina al sindaco Sergio Cofferati, e Juan Carlos Marset, Cultural Advisor di Siviglia, la prima città ad aver aderito al Creative Cities Network, che ha illustrato alcune opportunità di collaborazione tra le due città. Queste le principali motivazioni del conferimento citate nella comunicazione ufficiale: – la ricca tradizione musicale in continua evoluzione come vivace fattore della vita e della creatività contemporanee; – l'impegno a promuovere la musica come veicolo di comunicazione ed interazione sociale e culturale (per esempio attraverso l'organizzazione di laboratori musicali in alcune scuole della città per favorire l'integrazione degli studenti stranieri o l'impegno della Orchestra do Mundo, esempio di collaborazione internazionale tra Bologna e le favelas brasiliane di San Paolo). Già nel 1992 Francesco De Gregori, in Viaggi & Miraggi , cantava: “E andiamo a Genova coi suoi svincoli micidiali/ o a Milano con i suoi sarti ed i suoi giornali/ o a Venezia che sogna e si bagna sui suoi canali/ o a Bologna, Bologna coi suoi orchestrali”. La scelta di sottolineare il lato musicale del capoluogo emiliano destò allora un certo stupore, tanto che ad un giornalista che gli domandava proprio il perché di quella scelta, il cantautore rispose facendo riferimento alla possibilità di 7 incontrare in ogni locale qualcuno con una chitarra pronto a suonare. La non immediatezza del collegamento tra Bologna e il suo lato musicale traspare anche dalle vicende legate alla candidatura della città al Network dell'Unesco. Dichiara infatti Benedetto Zacchiroli, responsabile delle Relazioni Internazionali del Comune e membro dello staff del Sindaco, che la paternità dell'idea spetta ad una associazione culturale locale, il Link, che aveva pensato di legare ad un proprio progetto di lavoro la candidatura al Network, fraintendendo lo spirito del Network stesso, che prevede l'adesione non per singole associazioni o enti ma solo per intere municipalità. Da questo fraintendimento di fondo, sottoposto all'attenzione del sindaco, e dalla campagna di comunicazione fatta dalla sezione italiana dell'UNESCO ai Comuni, è nata così, in modo quasi casuale, una preziosa sinergia tra l'amministrazione comunale e le associazioni locali, che ha portato alla stesura di un corposo dossier sulla realtà musicale bolognese, che si è rivelata così multiforme e assai dinamica, tanto da convincere immediatamente la Global Alliance ad ammettere il capoluogo emiliano nel Network. La musica, come patrimonio culturale immateriale e modalità espressiva della cultura identitaria di un popolo, rientra nella sfera d'interesse della geografia culturale, cui questa tesi di dottorato afferisce. Va da sé, quindi, che il tipo di indagine qui svolta non possa che inserirsi all'interno di questo filone di ricerca, con particolare attenzione per gli aspetti soggettivi della percezione degli oggetti culturali, che costituiscono materia di studio per la corrente umanistica della geografia culturale stessa. Da queste considerazioni nasce il primo capitolo, che presenta una serie di riflessioni introduttive proprio su questo tipo di approccio, relativamente recente nell'ambito degli studi geografici, ed in particolare sul metodo iconografico come chiave di lettura del paesaggio. Un discorso ancora a parte merita il rapporto, complesso e accidentato, tra la geografia e la musica, variamente intesa dai geografi e sicuramente da questi ultimi 8 ancora poco studiata. Si presenta allora, nel secondo capitolo, un breve excursus sullo stato dell'arte delle ricerche condotte in questo campo, senza tralasciare altri aspetti meno legati alla musica e più legati ai suoni in generale, che hanno costituito e ancora costituiscono il principale oggetto di studio per i geografi interessati all'udito come filtro per leggere e comprendere il mondo. Si è deciso di presentare qui, in appendice, anche due casi di studio, sebbene non strettamente correlati all'argomento della tesi, in quanto ritenuti utili esemplificazioni del tipo di approccio adottato. Fatta questa premessa metodologica, possiamo allora entrare finalmente nel vivo della questione, presentando nel terzo capitolo sia il milieu creativo della città, interpretata come nodo locale entro il sistema globale delle reti internazionali, sia il Network of Creative Cities. Questo tipo di indagine in realtà si stacca dall'ambito della geografia culturale vera e propria per divenire oggetto di interesse della geografia urbana, della geografia economica e del marketing territoriale, che verranno qui solo marginalmente trattati, ove indispensabili per la comprensione dei passaggi argomentativi. Il quarto capitolo presenta una sorta di fotografia della realtà musicale bolognese tra passato, presente e futuro, e costituisce il nucleo centrale degli studi confluiti nel dossier per la candidatura nonché la ragione stessa dell'accettazione da parte del Network. Ci baseremo allora, per la trattazione del tema, sulle guidelines del bando di concorso per l'ammissione e sul sito dedicato a Bologna Città della Musica, che consentono di analizzare a trecentosessanta gradi il multiforme e complesso panorama dell'industria musicale locale, con tutte le sue diverse sfaccettature. Nel quinto capitolo si torna invece all'approccio culturale e geoumanistico, che indaga il volto più intimo e nascosto di Bologna attraverso gli occhi dei suoi cantori insider , fonti di prima qualità per l'individuazione di quello che si può 9 definire genius loci musicalis o più in generale sense of place della città. Proprio in questo contesto si colloca il tentativo di un'analisi dei “paesaggi di note” della città, volutamente distinti dai paesaggi sonori o acustici in senso tradizionale, legati più ad un discorso generico di suoni che di musica, suonata o cantata, su cui invece ci si sofferma nel testo. Il metodo adottato per l'indagine sarà principalmente quello iconografico, mutuato dalla storia dell'arte ma già efficacemente utilizzato all'interno della geografia umanistica. Ben lungi dal trovare (e dallo stesso cercare) risposte definitive su una tematica quanto mai aperta, la ricerca si conclude interrogandosi su quali trasformazioni e su quali concreti vantaggi porterà al capoluogo emiliano l'adesione al Network, poiché il compito di questa tesi di dottorato finisce, per questioni cronologiche, proprio al momento delle prime verifiche sul campo. 10 1. L'APPROCCIO CULTURALE E GEOUMANISTICO 1.1 Il punto di partenza: il paesaggio “Il mondo reale ha questo di disarmante, che si impone a noi quale evidenza. Bisogna che reimpariamo a trovare curioso ciò che è presenza, realtà” (Claval 1992, p. 46). L’immagine più immediata dell’evidenza del mondo reale è certamente costituita dal paesaggio , uno dei concetti più

When describing the carved artworks of the Aboriginal people of the Arctic regions, the anthropologist Edmund Snow Carpenter once observed: “A distinctive mark of the traditional art is that many of the ivory carvings, generally of sea mammals, won’t stand up, but roll clumsily about. Each lacks a single, favored point of view, hence, a base. Indeed, they aren’t intended to be set in place and viewed, but rather to be worn or handled, turned this way and that. The carver himself explains his effort as a token of thanks for food or services received from the animal’s spirit” (16). Much like the individual artworks displayed in Upside Down: Arctic Realities, the exhibition itself could be seen as a composite phenomenon that is best approached from multiple perspectives at once and “turned this way and that.” In its creative conflations and inversions of Paleolithic and modern motifs, the show simultaneously cultivated the perspectives of ethnographic anthropology and contemporary art criticism, with their attendant conceptions of distanced criticality and aesthetic proximity.

ABSTRACT Viols made in England c.1580-1660 held a leading reputation, yet few survive and little is known about their makers. This study describes a new protocol for gathering information from such instruments. Images of thirty-eight viols, and data collected from them by applying the protocol, are discussed, showing that antique viols provide unreliable evidence about their original state. On top of the effects of wear, damage and alteration, changes in the structural wood of viols over time mean they cannot retain their precise original shape or dimensions.

  • Paleo-Eskimo Artifacts from the Edmund Carpenter Collection Populate a Universe of Their Own in Microcosmos: Details from the Carpenter Collection
    Paleo-Eskimo Artifacts from the Edmund Carpenter Collection Populate a Universe of Their Own In MicroCosmos: Details from the Carpenter Collection On view exclusively at the Menil, August 29, 2015 through February 21, 2016 HOUSTON, TEXAS, August 20, 2015 — Over the course of the second half of the twentieth century, Edmund Carpenter—anthropologist, author, broadcaster, filmmaker, and communications theorist—assembled one of the world’s finest and most extensive collections of artifacts made and used by the peoples of the Old Bering Sea cultures of coastal Alaska and Siberia. Dating from as early as 250 BCE and carved from walrus ivory (or wood, as seen in rare examples that have survived), these dolls, ornaments, game pieces, tools, and ceremonial objects are diminutive in scale. Mere inches in height, they speak powerfully of cultural forces that led to their creation—specifically, a belief in the fluid and fantastic transformation from human to animal and back again. In MicroCosmos seals and water fowl sprout human heads, pregnant women grow walrus tusks, shamans fly like birds, and mythical beasts shift into multiple shapes. The exhibition’s opening on August 29, 2015 marks the first public display of the Carpenter Collection of Arctic Art (a trove of some 150 Paleo-Eskimo objects). Alone among archaeologists and anthropologists when he delved into the Arctic and its peoples, Edmund Carpenter conducted groundbreaking research that led to the publication of “Eskimo Realities,” (1959/1973), one of many landmarks in a career that spanned the globe. Edmund Carpenter died in 2011 at the age of 88. Inviting museum visitors into another world, MicroCosmos: Details from the Carpenter Collection has been organized by its curator, Sean Mooney.

Introduction: electronic music, globalization, and the Italian periphery relationship between local and global in a musical field - electronic music – in which this relationship is much he relation between globalization and local music less clear than it is in original and locally-rooted music. Tis a spicy question in today’s popular music And, more specifically, how to rethink the local-global studies, as well as in wider contemporary cultural relationship in analyzing musical forms which do not theory. Arjun Appadurai, for example, discussing the present an explicit characterization of their locality “modernity at large”, brings to light the example of through direct aesthetic features, as happens with the ability of Filipinos to reproduce American melodic traditional or ethnic instrumentations or with the use of songs in a better way than Americans do (Appadurai, a specific language.

Along with the arrival of mass media, new technological forms of culture were gradually added to the old typologies of the arts. Photography, film, television, and video increasingly ap- peared in the curricula of art schools and were given separate departments in art museums. With the introduction of digital media technologies in the 1980s and 1990s, the means of production, storage, and distribution of mass media changed, and eventually, so did its uses. As artists adopted the technologies of mass media, the economy of fine art (like the economy of limited editions) was confronted with the logics of mass production and mass distribution. Thus, when visiting a contemporary art museum one might find, for example, such conceptually con- tradictory displays as “DVD, edition of 3” (see for instance Lev Manovich 2000).
