Amatų įpaveldinimas Vilniuje / Representation of craftsmanship heritage in vilnius

Rutkauskaitė, Indrė 09 July 2011 (has links)
Magistriniame darbe trumpai apžvelgta amatų raida Vilniuje iki XIX amžiaus pabaigos, nagrinėtas amatininko statuso ir sąvokos kitimas Vilniuje lenkmečiu, sovietmečiu ir nepriklausomos Lietuvos laikotarpiais. Magistrinio darbo tikslas - amatų įpaveldinimo Vilniuje galimybių studija. XX amžiaus pradžioje lietuviams amatai buvo aktualu, kaip tautinio identiteto išraiška. Vyravo kaimo kultūros elementai, kurie turėjo atsispindėti nacionalinėje lietuvių pramonėje. Amatininku tapo lietuvis, kuris gamina tautinį, etninių bruožų turintį produktą. Vilniuje, 1920 – 1939 metais, lenkų okupacijos laikotarpiu amatininkas pratęsė miestietišką amato tradiciją. Vilniaus miesto amatai išlaiko kosmopolitiškumą ir daugiakultūriškumą, būdingą seniesiems Vilniaus amatams. Sovietinė sistema perėmė nepriklausomos Lietuvos laikotarpio požiūrį į amatą, kaip į kaimo kultūros tradiciją, tačiau dėmesį skyrė ne tautiškumo, o liaudiškumo propagavimui. Liaudies menas tapo parodiniu, ekspoziciniu ir reprezentaciniu reiškiniu. Nepriklausomos Lietuvos laikotarpiu atsiradusi rinkos ekonomika nulėmė, kad etnografiniai amato bruožai palaipsniui prarandami, o juos keičia kosmopolitinis, ryškus ir individualus produktas. Dailiųjų amatų, etnografinių verslų ir mugių programa nepilnai įpaveldina senuosius Vilniaus amatus. Būtinas istorinio pagrindimo vertinimo kriterijus, kurį parengtų kompetentingų mokslinių įstaigų darbuotojai ir reglamentuotas, Lietuvos respublikos įstatymu, amatininko statusas, atskiriantis...

Aim of the work – the study of the inheritance possibilities of handicrafts in Vilnius. At the beginning of 20th century crafts were relevant to Lithuanians as it was the term of the national identity. The prevailing elements should have been from the country culture, as it reflected in national Lithuanian industries. Men who were considered as a craftsmen were Lithuanian, who produced products having ethnical features. During the period of polish occupation (year 1920 – 1939) craftsmen were the only ones who extended the urban craft traditions. The crafts of Vilnius still have its cosmopolitism and are multicultural, what is very characteristic to the old Vilnius crafts. Soviet system intercepted the Lithuanian attitudes to the handicraft, as to the tradition of country culture, but the attention was paid not to the national features, but to the folk. The folk-art became parody, expositional and representative thing. During the period of independency, economics determined, that ethnographical features of craft are shifting, they are being replaced by cosmopolite, individual and vivid products. The program of fairs, smart crafts and ethnographical business do not reflect the old crafts of Vilnius properly enough. It is necessary to base and evaluate... [to full text]

A multimedia information exchange of the industrial heritage of the Lower Lee Valley

Budd, Brian Douglas January 1998 (has links)
The Lee Valley Industrial Heritage Electronic Archive (LVIHEA) is a model record of industrial buildings composed as a composite of multimedia data files relevant to the interpretation of the region's dynamic industrial environment. The design criteria concerning natural, human and artificial resources are applicable to education and heritage management strategies. The prototype model was evaluated in terms of its efficacy and effectiveness with designated user groups. The developed model will enable qualitative and quantitative analyses concerning the economic, social and industrial history of the region. It can be used as a pedagogic tool for instruction in the principles of structured data design, construction, storage and retrieval, and for techniques of data collection. Furthermore the data sets can be closely analysed and manipulated for interpretative purposes. Chapter one attempts to define the Lee Valley in terms of its geographic, historical, economic and societal context. The aims and resources of the project are outlined and the study is placed in the bibliographic context of similar studies. Thereafter it addresses the processes leading to and a description of the structure of the prototype model. A paper model is presented and the data structures conforming lo or compatible with established planning, archiving and management protocols and strategies are described and evaluated. Chapter two is a detailed description and rationale of the archive's data files and teaching and learning package. It outlines procedures of multimedia data collection and digitisation and provides an evaluative analysis. Chapter three looks at the completed prototype and reviews the soft systems methodology approach to problem analysis used throughout the project. Sections examining the LVIHEA in use and the practical issues of disseminating it follow. The chapter concludes by reviewing the significance of the research and indicates possible directions for further research. The survey is artifact rather than document led and begins with the contemporary landscape before "excavating" to reveal first the recent and then the more distant past. However, many choices for inclusion are necessarily reactive rather than proactive in response to the regular "crises" where conservation is just one consideration in a complex development. Progressive strategies are sometimes sacrificed for the immediate opportunity to record information concerning an artifact under imminent threat of destruction. It is acknowledge that the artefact (building) would usually disappear before its associated documentation and that therefore it was imperative to obtain as much basic detail as possible about as many sites as possible. It is hoped that greater depth can be achieved by tracking down the documentation to its repositories when time permits. Amenity groups had already focussed their attention on many of the more "interesting" sites and every opportunity was taken to incorporate their findings into the LVIHEA. This study provides an insight into the cycle of development and decline of an internationally important industrial landscape. It does so in a structured environment incorporating modem digital technology while providing a framework for continuing study.

Amenity valuation : the role of heritage in the physical and social production of Vancouver

Miller, Courtney James 05 1900 (has links)
The intensification of downtown Vancouver is the result of a structured fiscal, design and planning project. Cardinal to this effort is the realization of public amenities through the development process. However, those involved in the struggle to control the provision of amenities deny that no less than the determination of legitimate public goods is at stake in the contest. Employing Bourdieu's understanding of capital and related description of social space, the objective of the thesis is to examine how amenity production is oriented by the public benefit's utility to the dominant interest of capital accumulation. Reviewing the adoption of discretionary zoning and its corollaries to planning permission explicates the relation of a legalized aesthetic to the process of amenitization.The understanding of physical heritage as a public value is among the derivatives of this association with the introduction of planning mechanisms to encourage the retention of historic structures.The subsequent naturalization of heritage as public value and concurrent endowment of its capacity to facilitate development serves as an appropriate vehicle in the consideration of amenity valuation. By specifying the physical form and the legitimated community value of approved development, City reports and bylaws are the primary means of study. Analysis of these documents finds heritage to be the principal amenity realized through development mechanisms and illustrates its substantial influence on the physical and social space of the city. Case studies further support the thesis objective by addressing the constitution of public amenities aligned with the accommodation of the dominant interest; the unbounded consideration of heritage supports the retention of the physical features most conducive to intensification and results in greater development ability in terms of both private capital and in the realization of more bounded social amenities. The misrecognition of this key utility lends considerable authority over the physical transformation of the city and, more importantly, facilitates control of the related social environment.The thesis concludes that heritage serves the ideological continuation of the field of power, and cautions that recent efforts to consider less tangible qualities are symptomatic of this process.

'An island story'? Maritime heritage in Aotearoa/ New Zealand: A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Geography in the University of Canterbury

Davies, Michael Daniel John January 2006 (has links)
This thesis explores the concept of heritage within the context of the maritime environment of Aotearoa/ New Zealand. Three case studies, The New Zealand National Maritime Museum in Auckland, TSS Earnslaw which operates on Lake Wakatipu from a base in Queenstown and the Port of Lyttelton, Canterbury, are used to investigate the relationship between the international literature of heritage and the expression of maritime heritage in Aotearoa/ New Zealand. The research is focussed through the investigation of the presentation, and management of maritime heritage. The relationship between the concept of heritage as a global phenomenon and its expression in relation to the maritime heritage of Aotearoa/ New Zealand is discussed using the information obtained through fieldwork. The themes of mobility and conflict are identified as significant in the explanation of the role played by maritime heritage in the interaction between society and its maritime past.

Critérios de reconhecimento, mensuração e evidenciação de heritage assets : um estudo comparativo em museus australianos, ingleses e neozelandeses utilizando abordagem da Teoria Institucional

Pires, Charline Barbosa 13 April 2018 (has links)

Para tanto, as demonstrações contábeis referentes ao período de 2015/2016 de 42 museus australianos, 25 neozelandeses e 171 ingleses, totalizando uma amostra de 238 entidades, foram analisadas. Os resultados da análise documental revelaram a adoção de diferentes práticas tanto quando os museus de um mesmo país são observados, como quando os países são comparados entre si. Enquanto na Austrália predominam museus que capitalizam seus heritage assets de forma plena, no Reino Unido os museus que adotam a abordagem mista ou não reconhecem esses ativos são maioria. A Nova Zelândia, por sua vez, apresentou um cenário intermediário, com as entidades divididas entre as duas possibilidades. Buscando a compreensão dessas diferenças, a pesquisa apoiou-se nos fundamentos da Nova Sociologia Institucional (NSI), uma vertente da Teoria Institucional, para identificar características dos museus que permitissem a verificação da extensão com que estavam sujeitos a pressões coercitivas, normativas e miméticas capazes de influenciar as práticas observadas. A Análise Qualitativa Comparativa (QCA) e, mais especificamente, a csQCA foi utilizada, sendo que os resultados indicaram que principalmente pressões normativas e miméticas podem exercer influência no tratamento contábil dispensado aos heritage assets nos três países estudados. / This study aimed to identify different institutional tensions that influence the recognition, measurement and disclosure of heritage assets in Australian, New Zealand and English museums. Therefore, the financial statements for the period of 2015/2016 of 42 Australian, 25 New Zealand and 171 English museums, totaling a sample of 238 entities, were analyzed. The results of the documentary analysis revealed the adoption of different practices both when museums of the same country are observed, and when the countries are compared to each other. While in Australia predominate museums that fully capitalize their heritage assets, in the United Kingdom museums that take the mixed approach or do not recognize these assets are the majority. New Zealand, in turn, presented an intermediate scenario, with entities divided between the two possibilities. In order to understand these differences, the research was based on the foundations of the New Institutional Sociology (NSI), an approach of the Institutional Theory, to identify characteristics of the museums that allowed the verification of the extent to which they were subject to coercive, normative and mimetic pressures capable of influencing the observed practices. Comparative Qualitative Analysis (QCA) and, more specifically, csQCA was used, and the results indicated that mainly normative and mimetic pressures may influence the accounting treatment of heritage assets in the three countries studied.

Patrimônio cultural e cidade: práticas de preservação em São Paulo / Cultural heritage and the cities: experiences of preservation in São Paulo City

Juliana Mendes Prata 11 August 2009 (has links)
A ampliação da noção de patrimônio cultural e a consequente inserção da problemática urbana no debate patrimonial ocorre sobretudo a partir dos anos 1970, processo este já consolidado pela bibliografia, destacando-se aí o conceito de patrimônio ambiental urbano. Reconhecendo este processo, esta tese analisa a preservação do patrimônio daí decorrente, que se firmou em torno de três eixos: a questão urbana, o meio-ambiente e a cidadania. Considera que a complexidade da prática preservacionista impõe o estudo da interface da preservação com a gestão urbana e das relações entre teoria e ação, problematizando a própria prática. Especialmente, procura historicizar, problematizar e refletir sobre as práticas do órgão preservacionista estadual, o CONDEPHAAT, a partir deste contexto, em processos de estudo de tombamento de bairros e regulamentação de áreas envoltórias na cidade de São Paulo. Fundamentalmente, procura mostrar como os casos escolhidos avançaram em um novo modo de se pensar o patrimônio, pelo fato de incluírem na discussão sobre a preservação o tema da qualidade de vida e a participação da sociedade civil no processo. Trata-se de uma discussão que inclui também o patrimônio como um direito social à memória. / The extension of the notion of cultural heritage and the consequent inclusion of the urban dilemma in the heritage related debates occur mainly from the seventieth years. This process has been already consolidated by the doctrine, being emphasized the concept of urban environmental heritage. Also recognizing such process, this thesis analyses the preservation and conservation of the heritage, which has been studied by three lines: the urban dilemma, the environment, and the citizenship. It is considered that the complexity of the preservative experiences imposes the analysis of the relationship between the preservation and the urban management and between theory and practice. From this context, this thesis specially intends to discuss the history and the problems of the experiences of the estate institution of preservation CONDEPHAAT -, from the analysis of the procedures of listed districts and regulation of surrounding areas of Sao Paulo city. Finally, this thesis intends to demonstrate how the chosen cases moved on to a new way to think heritage, by the reason of including in the discussion the issue of quality of life and participation of the civil society. This discussion also includes the heritage as social right to the memory.
