Using the conceptual apparatus Judith Butler borrows from Melanie Klein, I think about the relationship between resentment, reparation and solidarity in relation to Edward Saïd’s positions regarding the Palestinian issue. To do so, I take into consideration the works What World Is This? and The Force of Nonviolence, by Butler, as well as the essay “Love, Guilt, and Reparation”, by Klein. Furthermore, I work with the essay “Identity, Authority and Freedom”, by Saïd and with his interviews collected in Dans l’ombre de l’Occident, but also with the one given to Charles Rose in 2001. Based on this, I analyze the intellectual’s attitude towards the tragic dimension of the world; then, I discuss how paranoia operates in the dynamics of social violence to indicate the role of guilt in the psychic negotiation between resentment and reparation as a safeguard for social ties.

The article delves into Spain's imperative to establish an effective control over the newfound territories subsequent to the discovery of America. To this end, it extended the governmental and institutional framework of the Castilian Monarchy to the New World, shaping a model that endured for more than three centuries. Nonetheless, the administration of these regions posed significant challenges due to their geographical remoteness, vast expanses, and unique topography. The Spanish Crown acknowledged the pivotal role of information in the exercise of power and implemented a postal communication system to address these exigencies. The article underscores the progression of this system and its role in governance, underscoring the significance of dispatching correspondence and its preservation to guarantee the efficient transmission of information.

The phrase “on care of our common home” is the subtitle of the encyclical Laudato si’. The notion of “care” can be understood as the preservation of the creative capacities found in the various components of creation. The notion of the “common home” is not clearly defined, but can be understood in terms of a salvation promised to all creatures, a salvation that consists in universal communion. This also leads us to take the Earth seriously and to ensure that the diversity of its components contributes to the construction of the “common home”. The theology of incarnation emphasises the plurality of expressions of God’s presence in the created world. This plurality is at the service of the communion of all. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Peru has a new capacity treatment in the Civil Code of 1984, achieving an approach to the guidelines of the United Nations in favor of the autonomy and full legal capacity of persons with disabilities. !rough the latest modifications made by Legislative Decree N. 1384, several unfinished aspects are linked to the rights of persons with disabilities based on respect for the human rights of all citizens, especially in terms of their dignity, autonomy and equality before the law. !e current social model replaces the regime of substitution of the will of the incapable by one of assistance through the so-called supports and safeguards. Every person, regardless of their capacity, is a subject of free right to take and respond to their personal decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the new scenario of advanced modernity, new patrimonialization dynamics can be observed that can mean an opportunity for rural spaces, but also a threat. Revealing how different agents, both global and local in the territory, are weaving good and bad practices, and what are the difficulties, contradictions and conflicts with which they find themselves is only possible through an interdisciplinary approach that unites the territorial vision, constructivist and community. The objective of this article is to identify and differentiate two patrimonialization dynamics, emphasizing how these processes are constructed, differentiating two clear axes: one based on «bottom-up» community processes and the other based on «top-down» methodologies. The indepth case study of the Camí dels Pelegrins Natural Monument of Les Useres (province of Castellón) through qualitative research methodologies allows us to unveil this new crossroads that represents the revaluation of the territorial and endogenous heritage, and to problematize the risks and impacts that suppose the current patrimonial uses in front of the senses and intrinsic and differential values of the pilgrimage of Les Useres. From a holistic reflexivity, it is intended to open a debate on the importance of negotiating and consulting with rural communities that have been safeguarding heritage before it was revalued, so that its contemporary uses as a territorial development resource have an impact synergistic in the territory and not inhibitory.

In these times when the word preservation is so prevalent, especially regarding environmental and sustainability, zeal for architectural heritage has an emphasis on the consciousness of society, once it is who records the shape of the city over time, as well as it recalls and perpetuates the history and customs of the place. In this research, we performed an exploratory study aiming to explicit reflexions about the role of heritage education as a possibility for citizens (re)know the local architectural heritage besides creating looks that seek and appreciate its safeguard and maintenance. It points the increased potential in the citizens' identification and belonging feelings about the place where they were born and/or live in. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Landscape is a multidisciplinary element in which the field of heritage has become a contribution that has helped support its cultural values with an enhanced status, amongst which those related to industry have gained importance. The Region of Murcia preserves a rich and significant industrial landscape, the legacy of the mining operations of Cartagena-La Unión and Mazarrón, for which a series of measures have been taken to safeguard and consolidate it as a heritage reference. The objective of this study is to analyse them, consider their implementation and study their impact in order to determine how effective they have been. For this reason, a specific file has been created and used to determine its current status, a point that has been completed with a SWOT analysis that has highlighted the main aspects that influence its current situation. A previous dissertation that focused on these issues, aimed at putting the landscape contributions of industrial heritage into context. The results obtained show that what has been carried out is not enough to conserve them and that new action must be taken to reverse the situation generated by inefficient decisions and delayed proposals.

This article examines strategies for protecting intangible cultural heritage assets in Catalonia, addressing the nature of the collective and/or group sense of intangible heritage; it holds that the regulatory framework which oversees industrial and intellectual property is not suitable for safeguarding these assets from possible use and appropriation by third parties; and it proposes components for a regulatory reform that introduces the concept of non-appropriability of popular and/ or traditional practices, representations, expressions, and knowledge.

The community of Chalguayacu, Valley of the Chota, Ibarra, Ecuador, conserves a score of properties that are erected as example of an architecture type conceived starting from the use of local materials as the adobe, the stone, the wood and the mud for a population's afro ecuatorians room dedicated to the agriculture. For the conception of this work we do leave of the following question: which the distinctive characteristics of the vernacular housing of Chalguayacu are? This village from its emergence was tributary of this tipology but it experienced an evolution associated to an economic situation that also suffered changes. It is houses of rectangular plant and simple facade with covered to four waters and cement floors, located to the long of the streets, result of the fork of the indigenous element with the african-american one and some hispanic contribution. Today they are in danger of disappearing given the non existence of safeguard's politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Megalithic Complex of Rego da Murta, located in Alvaiázere, center of Portugal, has been intervened for 17 years, and already has four musealized sites: Anta I, II and Menir I and VII of Rego da Murta. During the different interventions, in the last 7 years, we have been developed some activities related with culture heritage education orientated to the local community. In order to create a more civic and sensitive awareness for the protection, recognition and importance of the past we try to guaranteeing a safeguard of the archaeological heritage in this region. In the year of 2016 we developed research studies in two archaeological sites: Site III and XIII of Rego da Murta. The proposals for the heritage education activities were designed and directed to serve a diversified public. The initial premise was that heritage, whether archaeological or not, suffer from the lack of awareness of the communities, due to the lack of knowledge about their value, about the ongoing researches and consequently their results. In this sense, this article intends to disseminate the heritage education activities undertaken during the 2016 campaign, inside of the PIPA MEDICE project - Memories, Dynamics and Scenarios from Prehistory to the Roman Era, addressing the awareness, valorization and conservation of archaeological heritage and the consequences for the local development. The intention is to contribute for future studies and interdisciplinary readings on these practices. It is also an objective to explore a better discussion of how archaeologists can help, in this way, to protect these assets, ensuring that archaeological sites can also be spaces of learning and appropriation of civic concepts, developing more accurate behaviors. In this way, we observe a generalized interest that goes beyond the development of these activities, guaranteeing not only awareness improvement about the regional heritage but also his protection. It is also a goal to this project the dissemination and the record of new sites verified by the oldest archaeologists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research is part of a project under development in Urban Planning and Environment Department of the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (FCT) of Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Campus of Presidente Prudente, named: "persistence in the urban space of the buildings of the Decade of 1940 in Presidente Prudente SP". This research develops the architectural inventory of old and new Municipal Palace. The first building of the Decade of 1940 with features of Art Deco, was replaced in the late 1960 by another modernist construction by Jorge Wilson, architect with strong influences from the work of Vilanova Artigas, master of modern architecture in São Paulo. The modernist building is of interest of preservation, as demonstrated by academic theses. Through the analysis of historical documentations, metric-lifting documentary, architectural conservation status, current photographic documentation and on-the-spot visits have allowed verification of designs designed and their social-spatial appropriation, in order to relate them with the theory of restoration to indicate the guidelines for the protection in their current urban context.

This paper uses an applied general equilibrium model to analyze the eventual effect of the application of a safeguard measure to the imports of plywood panels (three-ply). Basic results suggest the following. In first place, a safeguard measure of 35% applied to the imports of plywood panels increases the domestic production of this good, but it reduces the aggregate production of the Mexican economy. In second place, the effect on the consumer welfare is negative too. As a consequence, the safeguard should be eliminated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
