Jair Afonso Inácio, um pioneiro na preservação do patrimônio artístico brasileiro /

Nobrega, Isabel Cristina. January 1997 (has links)
Orientador: Percival Tirapeli / Banca: Ivan Santo Barbosa / Banca: Antônio Luis Dias de Andrade / Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como figura central Jair Afonso Inácio (1932-1982), restaurador/conservador que muito contribuiu na preservação dos "Bens Móveis e Integrados", no Brasil. Juntamente com João José Rescála, Fernando Barreto, Ado Malagoli e Edson Motta (que em 1949 fundou o "Setor de Recuperação do SPHAN), Jair tornou científica a restauração no Brasil. Restaurou grande parte do acervo histórico e artístico de Minas Gerais, que estava com seu barroco descaracterizado. Ele usava técnicas aprendidas na Europa e nos Estados Unidos e, muitas vezes, teve de adaptá-las às condições brasileiras: clima diferenciado e precariedade de materiais e equipaments. Criou também um curso de restauração em Ouro Preto. Lá, além de transmitir seus conhecimentos, consegue estimular muito bem seus alunos, e mais tarde alguns deles se destacarão na área. Jair Inácio atuou ainda como perito (expertise) em barroco, destacando-se nacionalmente. / Abstract: This ressearche work is mainly about Jair Inácio (1932-1982), who was a conservative restaurer tht contributed greatly to preserving challet and furniture integrated in Brazil. Together João José Rescála, Fernando Barreto, Ado Malagoli and Edson Motta (who founded the SPHAN Recuperation Section in 1949), Jair was responsible for making recuperation cientific in Brazil. He restored most of the artistic Baroque patrimony of Minas Gerais which was losing characteristics. Jair used techiniques that he learnt in Europe and in the United States of America and often had to adapt them due to climate conditions and precarious working equipament and material. He founded a restoration course in Ouro Preto and there, apart from teaching he stimuleted his students to such a degree that some of them became well Known. Jair Inacio became an expert in Baroque Art and he became famous thought the nation for his work. / Mestre

Landscape Archaeology And Its Approach To Cultural Heritage Management: The Troad As A Case Study

Koru, Gulsun 01 January 2010 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis tries to define &lsquo / landscape archaeology&rsquo / as a concept / it describes and analyzes the key landscape archaeology types, dynamics, and approaches. Then, it aims to define the landscape archaeological characteristics of the Troad Region in this context. The archaeological landscape character of the Troad Region shapes the importance of the area, not only for the Anatolian culture, but also for the European cultures and for archaeology discipline. Hence, the necessity of conservation works for the area with the horizon of this concept gains importance. Thesis defines what had been done for the area in terms of conservation and reviews the Long Term Development Plan prepared for the Troia Historical National Park Area. With a critical view of what has been done and what has not been done, it tries to emphasize the importance of grasping the landscape archaeological character of the area in conservation and management plan works. It gives a general guideline to ensure a sustainable future for the historic, cultural, social, economic and environmental nature and qualities of these kinds of areas.

The effects of open shelters on the preservation of limestone remains at archaeological sites

Cabello Briones, Cristina January 2015 (has links)
Shelters, as preventive conservation methods, have traditionally been considered a better option than leaving the site exposed. However, there has been limited research on their effect on the preservation of heritage materials and, as a result, there is no clear scientific evidence to support sheltering. This study aims to provide the first rigorous scientific assessment of the effect of lightweight, open shelters on limestone deterioration at archaeological sites. A method based on the use of low-cost environmental monitoring equipment and limestone blocks and tablets (as indicators of decay) has been developed to determine the degree of protection provided by the shelters at the Bishop' Palace (Witney, England) and Hagar Qim (Malta). Preliminary visual assessments of the field sites were followed by 12-18 month exposure trials. Temperature extremes and fluctuations, frost events, relative humidity extremes and fluctuations, NaCl crystallisation events, solar radiation, wetting events, salt content, atmospheric pollutants and dust deposition were monitored. In addition, stone decay was studied by analysing changes in weight, elasticity, surface hardness, ultrasonic pulse velocity, surface colour, moisture content and general appearance (microscopic and macroscopic pictures) in stone samples. An exhaustive assessment of the shelter at the Bishop's Palace was carried out using Chalk, Cotswold and Portland limestone blocks as well as Portland limestone tablets (specifically for studying dissolution, soiling and biological growth). Additionally, a comparative assessment of the effects of the two shelters in contrasting climatic environments, the Bishop's Palace (temperate maritime) and Hagar Qim (Mediterranean), was undertaken by monitoring Globigerina and Coralline limestone blocks simultaneously at both sites. The research has shown that lightweight, open shelters do not exclude decay completely but minimise it. However, there are some areas at higher risk of decay, i.e. top parts of the walls and the periphery. In addition, problems with the shelter design can enhance some decay mechanisms, such as biocolonisation on the periphery at the Bishop's Palace and dust deposition under the shelter at Hagar Qim. Therefore, the effectiveness of shelters should not be assumed.

Utilizando-se da análise bibliográfica, documental e do exercício de história oral, examina os marcos teóricos, os paradigmas, as influências internacionais e as políticas culturais que alicerçaram a inserção e a construção dessa disciplina especializada no âmbito brasileiro. / This paper has goal to investigate, based on Cultural History, the historical trajectory of paper conservation-restoration in Brazil since the first decade of the 20th century until the years 1990s. In order to have an epistemological comprehension of this specialized field of knowledge, we focalized the origin and the construction of conservation and restoration through the examination of practices and preservation narratives. This research uses bibliographic, documental and oral history analysis. It examines theoretical points, paradigmas, international influences and cultural policy that are basic idea to the insertion and construction of this subject in Brazilian context.
