Abstract

Although today media and communication studies across Latin America are closely linked to critical sociology, this was not always the case. In this article, we explore how the interaction between social communication (which includes communication and media studies) and critical sociology, in the Latin American context, evolved over time. In so doing, we examine how, and in which directions, media theory has developed and how it relates profoundly with critical sociology. This piece is an attempt to summarize this process and look at current contributions that propose more inclusive and participatory media. The key argument that it took a long time for Latin America's media studies to link itself with critical sociology but once that happened, it produced a distinctive school of thought that is counter-hegemonic and directs itself towards the contestation of power and oppression by linking itself with the popular.

4. Innovative tools for exhibition purposes: Environmental and Damage assessment.

Author

Yunson Choi and Marchesi, Monica

Abstract

This article discusses various issues related to environmental and damage assessment, with specific reference to a training workshop. The Malta Center for Restoration hosted a six-day training school between 29 October and 3 November 2004. The training school was intended to disseminate to a varied audience the on-going European research on environment and damage assessment. Twenty-three participants were selected from fourteen European countries, Israel and the U.S. to join the course. The audience was formed by a mix of nationalities, education backgrounds and professional specialties creating a good combination of those specializing in conservation science, conservation and collection care. The course was divided between theoretical and practical sessions. The first two days were mainly dedicated to theoretical presentations of past and present European projects that are dealing with the monitoring of indoor environment and the creation of early warning systems. The practical sessions concentrated on the application of light dosimeters. The dosimeters are intended as a relative cheap tool to monitor the cumulative luminous exposure of artifacts.
