Libro Rischio, catastrofe e gestione dell’emergenza nel Mediterraneo occidentale e in Ispanoamerica in età moderna : omaggio a Jean-Philippe Luis

[Italiano]: Il libro è il primo risultato di un progetto di ricerca interdisciplinare e internazionale sui disastri di origine naturale verificatisi nei territori governati dalle monarchie borboniche tra il XVIII secolo e l’inizio del XIX. I dodici saggi che lo compongono esplorano le strategie e le pratiche attraverso cui istituzioni e società cercarono di gestire, mitigare e prevenire gli effetti catastrofici di eruzioni, terremoti, inondazioni, carestie ed epidemie, in territori geograficamente lontani e diversi tra loro – dal Mediterraneo occidentale all’America centrale e meridionale – tra l’età dei Lumi e quella delle Rivoluzioni. Sebbene queste aree fossero governate da membri della stessa dinastia, l’organizzazione politico-amministrativa e i sistemi giuridici erano differenti e diverse erano anche le strategie di gestione dell’emergenza. Il progetto ha coinvolto tre gruppi di ricerca, incardinati in Università europee e ispano-americane, coordinati da Jean-Philippe Luis, Armando Alberola e Domenico Cecere. Il volume è dedicato alla memoria di Jean-Philippe Luis. / [English]: The volume includes a significant part of the findings of an interdisciplinary and international research project on disasters that occurred in the territories under the Bourbon monarchies between the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is composed of twelve essays that explore the strategies and practices by which institutions and societies sought to manage, mitigate and prevent the catastrophic effects of eruptions, earthquakes, floods, famine and epidemics. The articles address several territories, that are geographically distant and widely different from each other – from the western Mediterranean to Central and South America – between the Age of Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions. Although these areas were ruled by members of the same dynasty, the political and administrative structures and legal systems were different, and the emergency management strategies were dissimilar too. The project involved three research groups, based in European and Latin American universities, coordinated by Jean-Philippe Luis, Armando Alberola and Domenico Cecere. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Jean-Philippe Luis.

Talar madera

¿En qué sentido la pólis comporta una ruptura con el bosque y la naturaleza? ¿Qué mencionan exactamente "physis" y "hyle"? ¿Qué se juega en el proyecto de construir templos para los dioses, despejar espacios de reunión para los hombres y reconocer la ley de la comunidad? "Talar madera" desarrolla estas y otras cuestiones a través de la exégesis de determinados textos de la Grecia arcaica y clásica (Homero, Píndaro y Sófocles). Lo que se descubre son problemas que transcienden la validez de compartimentaciones tales como estética, ética y ontología, si bien el libro pretende...

Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By...

La España de Riego

La rebelión del general Rafael del Riego, el 1 de enero de 1820, contra el régimen absolutista y represor de Fernando VII, le convirtió en uno de los personajes más relevantes de la historia de España en el primer tercio del siglo xix. Miembro del ejército expedicionario del sur, destinado a reprimir en la América española las luchas insurgentes, se destacó en la vida pública del país, dominado en esa etapa histórica por los ecos de las revoluciones atlánticas, primero por la que da pie al nacimiento de Estados Unidos, y después por la francesa. En ambos casos se trata del...
