Det ätbara, gröna kulturarvet : Musealiseringens väntrum / The edible green heritage : The waiting room of musealization

Strandman Peterson, Arvida January 2024 (has links)
This thesis aims to identify the musealization process of two cultivated, edible plants in Sweden through the concept of green cultural heritage (GCH). Within the field of cultural heritage, green cultural heritage lacks a distinct definition and meaning, which makes the research and education within the field challenging. The empirical evidence is based on a combination of the biography of things and case studies of two plants: Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbum) and Dill (Anethum graveolens). The plants musealization process, and the role of the institutions in the process, are mapped out. This is done through research, combined with interviews with professionals of two botanical gardens and a gene bank manager at the Programme for Diversity of Cultivated Plants (POM).  By using the biography of things theory and elements of comparative studies the factors contributing to plants being percieved and selected as cultural heritage are analyzed. These edible plants are symbolized through the cultural practices of art and food before being selected as a cultural heritage. Thus, their musealization process is working backwards. The research practice of the selection of green cultural heritage normally works with preservation of plants. That field has a different definition of the term cultural heritage, and genetic values in combination with cultivation memories are given preference in the selection. The plants that do not fit in, despite their high cultural values and memories, are excluded in the official heritage process, but they maintain their symbolic status. Dill is therefore captured in an ongoing, incomplete musealization process, whereas rhubarb are successfully musealized. The varying interpretations of cultural heritage also affect how plants are incorporated in the consciousness as cultural heritage, which is a vital part of the musealization process. This is a two years master’s thesis in Museum and Cultural Heritage Studies.

Landscape preservation and biodiversity planning : the Kino Heritage Fruit Trees Project and beyond

Yaquinto, Robert Giacomo 01 October 2014 (has links)
This report argues that historic landscape preservation efforts need to embrace biodiversity planning. Historic landscape preservation sites need to develop biodiversity plans because they are uniquely qualified to provide the continuous monitoring that successful biodiversity planning requires. Not only will biodiversity monitoring at various historic landscape sites contribute to a nationwide collection of biodiversity planning data, but it will also provide a rich source of information that can be presented to draw a wider audience into the biodiversity discussion. After considering three precedents: Old Sturbridge Village, Old World Wisconsin, and Tucson Botanical Gardens, the report focuses on the Kino Heritage Fruit Trees Project and its real and potential impacts on biodiversity planning in southern Arizona and more broadly. Finally, the report considers how seed libraries and seed swaps might serve a similar purpose in other parts of the country. / text

El papel de la infraestructura para la difusión de la cultura en el desarrollo social de México / El papel de la infraestructura para la difusión de la cultura en el desarrollo social de México

Padilla y Sotelo, Lilia Susana 10 April 2018 (has links)
Given Mexico's socio-economic and polítical demands derived from globalization,the need has arisen to promote knowledge, and specifically culture, to reafflrm the national unity. In view of this situation, it is imperative to provide appropriate training to the human resources, that will implement the various strategies and abilities aimed at the population's social development, in which the transfer of knowledge and traditions made up by the combination of a diversity of expressions becomes evident as a set of common elements which characterize a community and propitiates its own identity. lt is within this context that the infrastructure for promoting culture is embedded, involving institutions in charge of communicating it, that play an irreplaceable and growing role in the spread of the cultural richness and the organization of access to knowledge, and that in turnare a factor for social and cultural integration; likewise, these allow to gain access and make good use of knowledge, and constitute a core element of the material and sp:ritual patrimony for social development.Wilhin this framework, the present work is characterized by a poly-dimensional base, and in its sections the following  distribution  of infrastructure  is  illustrated: first, libraries, with the main objective of organizing and spreading knowledge, printed or available in any other means, aimed at contributing to the generation of new knowledge, with a role that is reflected in the economic and social aspects of any country. Then, there are the museums, instruments to unify the people, strengthening culture and keeping it alive, stretching the bonds between current and past generations;on the other hand, these also serve to draw new relationships between the local community and people from abroad, given that they foster cultural exchange and facilitare the acquisition of income through delivery of services to visitors. The so­ called casas de cultura (cultural centers) are organisms devoted to the promotion of arts and culture through workshops, meetings and displays of various kinds, as well as sculpture visits and/or common or virtual displays of paints, photographs and videos, electronic artistic posters and seminars. Botanical gardens are also included, which combine two purposes: for one part a scientiflc research and conservation goal, and for another, the cultural and education objective to spread knowledge through the interaction with the local society and communities, while at the same time they manage and preserve a documentary, genetic and even historical, ethnic and artistic patrimony. Last, zoos are included, the objective of which is to provide the population with the opportunity of observing and admiring Mexico's natural richness in terms of native fauna and flora, promoting the good health and reproduction of captive animals, thereby contributing to preservation, besides providing visitors with leisure, recreation  and a culture of protection  of wildlife and flora. Zoos also provide a geographical perspective that allows to gain knowledge about the distribution of species and their spatial relationship with sites, that is, a territorial view, in turn allowing to appreciate its spatial magnitude. All these on top of the individual identity, without which the national and cultural identities cannot be reached. Preserving culture is saving the soul, man's most profound reason for living, hence the importance of the role of the institutions created to promote the culture of any given country. / En función de las exigencias socioeconómicas y políticas de México, derivadas de la globalización, se requiere de conocimientos que propicien la reafirmación de la uni­dad nacional; entre ellos se incluye la cultura. Ante esta situación, la capacitación del recurso humano que ha de poner en acción las diversas habilidades y estrategias ten­ dientes al desarrollo social de la población es prioritaria, ya que el fenómeno de la transferencia de conocimientos y tradiciones conformada por el encuentro de múltiples expresiones se manifiesta en un conjunto de elementos comunes que le otorgan carácter singular a una colectividad y propicia desarrollar su identidad.  Dentro de este contexto se incluye la infraestructura para la difusión de la cultura, compuesta por instituciones encargadas de su transmisión, que desempeñan un papel insustitui­ ble y creciente en la difusión del acervo cultural y en la organización del acceso al conocimiento, y a la vez son factor de integración social y cultural; asimismo, permiten tener y saber utilizar los conocimientos adquiridos y son parte del patrimonio material y espiritual para el desarrollo de la sociedad.A partir de estas connotaciones el trabajo tiene una concepción polidimesional, ya que en apartados subsecuentes se muestra la distribución de esa infraestructura de la siguiente manera: primero, las bibliotecas que tienen dentro de sus objetivos principa­ les organizar y difundir el conocimiento impreso en cualquier tipo de medio, con el fin de incidir en la generación de nuevos conocimientos; su papel repercute en el contexto económico y social de cualquier país. Después los museos, que son un ins­ trumento para unificar a los pueblos, para fortalecer y revitalizar su cultura, estrechar lazos entre las generaciones anteriores y actuales; por otro lado, también articulan nuevas relaciones entre la comunidad y gente de afuera puesto que fomentan el inter­ cambio cultural y posibilitan la generación de ingresos por medio de la venta de servicios a visitantes. A continuación se presentan las casas de cultura, organismos dedicados a la promoción de las artes y la cultura mdiante talleres, convocatorias y exposiciones en diversas ramas, paseos escultóricos o exposiciones convencionales o virtuales de pintura, fotografía y video, así como postales artísticas electrónicas y seminarios. Se incluyen también los jardines botánicos, que combinan los objetivos científicos de investigación  y conservación con los educativos y culturales, y difun­den conocimientos en forma interactiva con las sociedades y comunidades locales, a la vez que manejan y conservan un patrimonio documental, genético e incluso histó­ rico, etnológico y artístico. Por ultimo, se presentan los zoológicos, cuya misión es la de brindar a la población la oportunidad de observar y admirar la riqueza natural de la fauna y la flora nativas de México y de otras regiones del mundo, así como fomen­ tar actividades de educación e investigación  para propiciar que los animales de las colecciones se mantengan sanos y se reproduzcan, y con ello se logre su conservación; tienen también el objetivo de brindar a los visitantes recreación, esparcimiento y una cultura de protección  a la fauna y la flora silvestre. Se proporciona  conjuntamente una visión cartográfica con la que se puede ver la distribución de la infraestructura y la relación con el lugar, o sea la territorialización, que permite ver su magnitud espa­ cial. Todo ello sin olvidar la identidad individual, sin la cual no se logran la identidad nacional y la cultural. Salvaguardar la cultura es salvar el alma que constituye la razón más profunda de vivir del ser humano; de ahí la importancia del rol de las institucio­nes encargadas de la difusión de la cultura de un país.
