Eighth International Symposium âMonitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas. Problems and Measurement Techniquesâ
The 8th International Symposium "Monitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas. Problems and Measurements Techniques" was organized by CNR-IBE in collaboration with FCS Foundation, and Natural History Museum of the Mediterranean and under the patronage of University of Florence, Accademia dei Geogofili, Tuscany Region and Livorno Province. It is the occasion in which scholars can illustrate and exchange their activities and innovative proposals, with common aims to promote actions to preserve coastal marine environment. Considering Symposium interdisciplinary nature, the Scientific Committee, underlining this holistic view of Nature, decided to celebrate Alexander von Humboldt; a nature scholar that proposed the organic and inorganic natureâs aspects as a single system. It represents a sign of continuity considering that in-presence Symposium could not be carried out due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Subjects are related to coastal topics: morphology; flora and fauna; energy production; management and integrated protection; geography and landscape, cultural heritage and environmental assets, legal and economic aspects
Seventh International Symposium "Monitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas. Problems and Measurement Techniques"
The Seventh International Symposium Monitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas. Problems and Measurement Techniques (Livorno, Italy June 19-20-21, 2018) was organized by the CNR-IBIMET in collaboration with the City of Livorno, the LEM Foundation, the FCS Foundation and the Compagnia dei Portuali di Livorno, with the patronage by Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Accademia dei Georgofili, The University of Florence, the Tuscany Region and the North Tyrrhenian Sea Port System Authority. The Symposium, in which scholars from all over the Mediterranean basin participated, was an opportunity to illustrate new proposals and to promote actions to protect the Mediterranean coastal marine environment. In particular, the event was characterized by the search for technical and instrumental solutions to problems related to: energy production in the coastal area, morphology and evolution of coastlines, flora and fauna of the littoral system, management and integrated coastal protection, coastline geography, human influence on coastal landscape

La CittĂ Altra:Storia e immagine della diversitĂ urbana: luoghi e paesaggi dei privilegi e del benessere, dellâisolamento, del disagio, della multiculturalitĂ
This volume proposes a rich corpus of papers about the âOther Cityâ, a subject only few times dealt with, but worthy of all our attention: it imposes itself on the scene of international modern and contemporary historiography for its undeniable topicality. Throughout history, the city has always had to deal with social âothernessâ, i.e. with class privileges and, consequently, with discrimination and marginalization of minorities, of the less well-off, of foreigners, in short, with the differences in status, culture, religion. So that the urban fabric has ended up structuring itself also in function of those inequalities, as well as of the strategic places for the exercise of power, of the political, military or social control, of the spaces for imprisonment, for the sanitary isolation or for the âtemporaryâ remedy to the catastrophes. From the first portraits of cities, made and diffused at the beginning of the fifteenth century for political exaltation purposes or for religious propaganda and for devotional purposes, which often, through increasingly refined graphic techniques, distort or even deny the true urban image, we reach, at the dawn of contemporary history, the new meaning given by scientific topography and new methods of representation; these latter aimed at revealing the structure and the urban landscape in their objectivity, often unexpected for who had known the city through the filter of âregimeâ iconography. The representation of the urban image still shows the contradictions of a community that sometimes includes and even exalts the diversities, other times rejects them, showing the unease of a difficult integration

[English]: This volume proposes a rich corpus of papers about the âOther Cityâ, a subject only few times dealt with, but worthy of all our attention: it imposes itself on the scene of international modern and contemporary historiography for its undeniable topicality. Throughout history, the city has always had to deal with social âothernessâ, i.e. with class privileges and, consequently, with discrimination and marginalization of minorities, of the less well-off, of foreigners, in short, with the differences in status, culture, religion. So that the urban fabric has ended up structuring itself also in function of those inequalities, as well as of the strategic places for the exercise of power, of the political, military or social control, of the spaces for imprisonment, for the sanitary isolation or for the âtemporaryâ remedy to the catastrophes.

Nel corso della storia, la cittĂ ha dovuto sempre fare i conti con le âalteritĂ â sociali, ossia con i privilegi di classe e, conseguentemente, con la discriminazione e lâemarginazione delle minoranze, dei meno abbienti, degli stranieri, insomma con le diversitĂ di status, di cultura, di religione. SicchĂ© il tessuto urbano ha finito per strutturarsi anche in funzione di quelle diseguaglianze, oltre che dei luoghi strategici per lâesercizio del potere, del controllo politico, militare o sociale, degli spazi per la reclusione, per lâisolamento sanitario o per il rimedio âtemporaneoâ alle catastrofi. Dai primi ritratti di cittĂ elaborati e diffusi sul principio del Quattrocento per fini di esaltazione politica o per la propaganda religiosa e per scopi devozionali, che spesso, attraverso tecniche grafiche sempre piĂč raffinate, falsano o addirittura negano la vera immagine urbana, si giunge, allâalba della storia contemporanea, al nuovo significato dato dalla topografia scientifica e dai nuovi metodi di rappresentazione, atti a svelare la struttura e il paesaggio urbano nella loro oggettivitĂ , spesso cruda e inaspettata per quanti, prima di allora, avessero conosciuto la cittĂ attraverso il filtro dellâiconografia âdi regimeâ. La rappresentazione dellâimmagine urbana mostra ancora oggi le contraddizioni di una comunitĂ che a volte include, e persino esalta, le diversitĂ , altre volte le respinge, tradendo il malessere di una difficile integrazione
