    The book is in the series "Contemporary Architecture in Turin" reconstructs the complex topography of places, buildings, architects, techniques and styles in Turin throughout the 20th century. A collection of small histories that helps identify future scenarios for a city that has unobtrusively embraced the 21st century.The book study the destiny of the Baroque, from the rigorous design of Italy's first capital city to the discovery of a strategic resource for the future of Turin. In the heart of the contemporary city, the Baroque still acts as the background against which new interventions stand out, the fabric on which new designs for public spaces are laid. the living body on which numerous restorations are compared. Architecture conceived on a European scale investigates ways for transporting into the future a legacy that is crucial for the city's urban identit

    Il volume si colloca nella collana"Architettura contemporanea a Torino" attraverso cui si ricostruisce la complessa topografia di luoghi, edifici, attori, culture tecniche e artistiche che a Torino si sono incrociati lungo tutto il Novecento. Una mappa di storie che aiuta a individuare temi e scenari possibili per il futuro della città entrata senza retorica nel XXI secolo. Nello specifico il volume analizza il Barocco, la sua fortuna, dal disegno rigoroso della città capitale alla "scoperta" di una risorsa strategica per il futuro di Torino. Così, nel cuore della città contemporanea, il Barocco è ancora la tela di fondo sulla quale si stagliano i nuovi interventi, la trama dove incide la nuova progettazione degli spazi pubblici, il corpo vitale su quale si confrontano i numerosi restauri. Si ripropone il tema di un'architettura pensata per una dimensione europea, che spinge a interrogarsi sulle modalità di traghettare verso il futuro un patrimonio cruciale per l'identità urban

    Effects of Pleistocene to Holocene seismicity on the landforms and fluvial-lacustrine sequences of the Ixtlahuaca paleobasin, and their possible relation with the Acambay graben: Implications for the seismic hazard assessment of Central Mexico

    We mapped Plio-Pleistocene lake deposits in the Ixtlahuaca paleobasin in Central Mexico, located 51 km south of the Acambay Graben and 69 km west of Mexico City. Within the Acambay basin, Pleistocene to Holocene lake sediments record primary and secondary 25 environmental effects of strong local earthquakes as a consequence of Quaternary activity of the major normal border faults. Likewise, the Ixtlahuaca paleobasin has been controlled mainly by the Quaternary evolution of the Perales and Ixtlahuaca faults, even if there is no record of local historical earthquakes, and therefore the area has not been considered as potentially seismic. However, the application of the ESI 2007 Scale to deformation structures as effects of seismic events on the geological-natural environment in the Tierras Blancas - San Bartolo Lanzados basins and San Pedro El Alto, within the Acambay graben, and its comparison with seismites identified in the Ixtlahuaca paleobasin, show that past earthquakes similar to the Mw 6.5 to 7 surface faulting events generated by the main faults of the Acambay graben have also occurred in the Ixtlahuaca area

    La regi\uf3n central de M\ue9xico se caracteriza por sus grandes depresiones lacustres con orientaci\uf3n E-O, las cuales son controladas por fallas normales del Cuaternario. Los grabenes de Acambay e Ixtlahuaca representan unas de las cuencas intra-arco m\ue1s grandes del Cintur\uf3n Volc\ue1nico Trans-Mexicano. La evoluci\uf3n de la regi\uf3n Acambay-Ixtlahuaca es tambi\ue9n caracterizada por eventos s\uedsmicos recurrentes moderados a fuertes, como lo constat\uf3 el sismo de Acambay el 19 de noviembre de 1912, Ms 6.9. En el presente trabajo se realiza una comparaci\uf3n de datos macros\uedsmicos publicados a partir del sismo de Acambay de 1912, Ms 6.9, con nuevos an\ue1lisis de evidencia paleos\uedsmica preservada en la estratigraf\ueda y en la geomorfolog\ueda de tres sub-cuencas lacustres del Pleistoceno-Holoceno (San Pedro El Alto y San Bartolo Lanzados, en el \ue1rea epicentral del evento de 1912; e Ixtlahuaca de Ray\uf3n, a lo largo de la falla Perales, 40 km aproximadamente al S del epicentro de 1912 y en donde no se tiene registro de sismos hist\uf3ricos y por lo tanto considerada como zona as\uedsmica) bajo la aplicaci\uf3n de la escala ESI2007. Las tres sub-cuencas estudiadas son controladas por el mismo sistema extensivo de estructuras durante el Cuaternario, las tres muestran una tect\uf3nica y caracter\uedsticas geom\uf3rficas similares, incluyendo las fallas Pastores, Acambay- Tixmadej\ue9 y el sistema Temascalcingo, las cuales rompieron durante el sismo de 1912 adem\ue1s de la falla Perales. As\ued mismo, en las tres sub-cuencas, la intensidad preliminar para los efectos paleos\uedsmicos en el ambiente es comparable y consistente con la intensidad epicentral del evento de 1912 (I0 = X en la escala de Cancani). La comparaci\uf3n de intensidades ESI2007 hist\uf3ricas y paleos\uedsmicas en las subcuencas de San Pedro El Alto y San Bartolo Lanzados, muestra que la magnitud de sismos antiguos fue similar al de 1912, de tal manera, la intensidad epicentral de las estructuras paelos\uedsmicas de la cuenca de Ixtlahuaca es del orden de IX en la escala ESI2007. No obstante, lo mismo se puede afirmar para las paleosismitas lacustres analizadas en la paleocuenca de Ixtlahuaca de Ray\uf3n; las estructuras de licuefacci\uf3n, slumps, fallamiento sinsedimentario, sugieren que las estructuras tienen un origen s\uedsmicamente inducido y que es una fuente s\uedsmica local la que ha producido algunos de los paleoeventos deformacionales observados. De acuerdo a lo anterior, sugerimos que dentro de tal paisaje s\uedsmico, la intensidad ESI2007 manejada para las caracter\uedsticas paleos\uedsmicas en la paleocuenca de Ixtlahuaca indica un potencial s\uedsmico del orden de Mw 7 para la falla Perales,equivalente al demostrado por las fallas maestras del graben de Acambay

    ESI2007 ASSESSMENT OF PALEOSEISMIC FEATURES IN THE ACAMBAY AND IXTLAHUACA GRABEN, MEXICO: EVIDENCE FOR CAPABILITY ALONG THE PERALES FAULT

    We compare published macroseismic data from the Nov. 19th, 1912, Ms 6.9 Acambay earthquake with new analyses of paleoseismic evidence preserved in the stratigraphy and geomorphology of three Mid-Pleistocene to Holocene lacustrine subbasins (San Pedro El Alto and San Bartolo Lanzados, in the epicentral area of the 1912 event; and Ixtlahuaca de Ray\uf3n, along the Perales Fault, ca. 40 km S of the 1912 epicenter) using the ESI 2007 scale. In the Ixtlahuaca paleobasin (Mid Pleistocene?), liquefaction, megaslumping features, and synsedimentary surface faulting are genetically associated, suggesting A) a seismically induced origin, and B) a local earthquake source, at least for some of the observed deformational paleoevents. In the studied subbasins, the preliminary intensity assessment from the paleoseismic environmental effects is comparable, and consistent with the epicentral intensity of the 1912 event (Io = X in the Cancani scale). The three sub-basins are controlled by the growth of the same system of extensional structures during the Quaternary, showing very similar tectonic and geomorphic features. This includes the Pastores, Temascalcingo and Acambay-Tixmadej\ue9 faults, which ruptured during the 1912 earthquake, and the Perales Fault. We argue that within such a coherent seismic landscape the ESI 2007 intensity assessed from paleoseismic features in the Ixtlahuaca paleobasin indicates a seismic potential in the order of Mw 7 for the Perales Fault, equivalent to the one demonstrated by the master faults of the Acambay graben

    El presente libro es un resultado parcial del trabajo colectivo que desarrolló el Grupo de Trabajo de CLACSO "Crítica Jurídica Latinoamericana: Movimientos sociales y procesos emancipatorios" (2013-2016). Se trata de un resultado parcial porque no es posible abordar la totalidad de las variables que atraviesan los asuntos tratados, pero también porque aquello que puede plasmarse en un libro no es más que una parte de un proceso de aprendizaje colectivo que combinó congresos, cursos y espacios de reflexión en ámbitos académicos pero también en contextos de vinculación con movimientos sociales y políticos. Finalmente, es un resultado parcial porque en la construcción colectiva que supone el conocimiento aquí faltan los aportes, miradas cómplices, guiños hostiles, apoyos inmerecidos y adecuados rechazos de los lectores y las lectoras
