De colonizador a víctima: la memoria cultural de la Guerra en El Pacífico a través del Monumento a la Línea Ferroviaria Burma-Siam Pakan Baroe
In this article I will demonstrate how the Burma-Siam Pakan Baroe Railroad Monument embodies the development of the memory culture about the War in the Pacific in the Netherlands. I will explain why this was a contested war, and outline the ways in which it did gain a place in Dutch memory culture. Through a visual analysis I will also uncover who is being excluded from the monument’s commemoration and why.En este artículo demostraré como el monumento a la línea ferroviaria Burma-Siam Pakan Baroe da cuerpo al desarrollo de la memoria cultural sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial en el Pacífico en el ámbito de los Países Bajos. Explicaré por qué se trató de una guerra cuestionada, así como trataré de esbozar las fórmulas mediante las que este monumento ha alcanzado su lugar en la memoria cultural de los Países Bajos. A través de un análisis visual, trataré igualmente de desentrañar quién queda excluido del ámbito de conmemoración del monumento y por qué ocurre esto
A tholos do Cerro do Malhanito (Alcoutim)
A tholos do Cerro do Malhanito, perto do lugar de Monte da Estrada, foi identificada por A. Gradim em 1999, durante o acompanhamento arqueológico de acções de reflorestação do Concelho de Alcoutim.
O monumento encontra-se implantado no topo de um cabeço que se destaca na paisagem circundante, isolado por dois apertados meandros da ribeira da Foupana, cujo vale domina, do alto da sua encosta esquerda.
A escavação, dirigida pelo primeiro dos signatários desta nota, inscreveu-se nas intervenções de carácter preventivo, tendo sido motivada pela violação em época muito recente da câmara do monumento, do que resultou a fractura e arrastamento da parte superior de alguns esteios, bem como
ao alargamento de uma estrada de terra batida, que passa muito próximo do monumento. Efectuada no Verão de 2002, permitiu pôr a descoberto um monumento ainda bem conservado em profundidade, constituído por uma câmara de planta circular e corredor curto, ambos parcialmente escavados no substrato geológico, correspondente a xistos e grauvaques do Carbonífero: com efeito, o limite entre o afloramento xistoso, finamente folheado, e o depósito grosseiramente estratificado de grauvaques atravessa longitudinalmente o monumento
Reading the Transformations of an Urban Edge: From Liberty Era Palermo to the City of Today
To honour the battle of 27 May 1860, in 1910 the Palermo City Government decided to realise a commemorative monument. A position at the centre of a large circular plaza was of have afforded the monument a greater solemnity. The commission for the Monument was awarded to Ernesto Basile. In 1927 the City Government decided to dedicate the monument to the Fallen and asked Basile to complete the monument adding an architectural backdrop. The first version of the new project was a fence that enveloped the entire square and the ring road, interrupted only by entrances near the streets flowing into the square, and dividing it into four sectors. The final design instead called for the realisation of a semi-circular exedra of columns interrupted at the centre by a large gate that allows access to the square and to the back of the monument. The successive development of the city engulfed the square in the midst of tall and anonymous buildings realised, beginning in the 1960s, without any order of relations, stripping the surrounding fabric of its identity. Through the survey of the today‘s configuration, the analysis of Basile‘s original drawings and the representation of the modifications made over time, this text proposes an original reading of the configuration of Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the Monument to the Fallen, in relation to important moments in its history, from its design to the present day. The three-dimensional models reproduce the monument and its surroundings at the time of its construction in 1910, based on the first version for its expansion (unbuilt), with the addition of the exedra from 1930 and in its current condition. The redesign and extrapolation of different views of the digital models also provided original images of use to new readings of the perception of this space

El monumento al combate del 2 de Mayo en Lima: un símbolo americanista frente a España, 1866-1874 (Estudios)
This article examines the monument to the Battle of May 2 in the context of the postwar geopolitical strategy of the Americas with respect to Spain. The formal features of the monument are analyzed, along with the urban space in which it was erected a few years after Lima’s fortified walls dating back to the Viceroy’s reign began to be brought down. The monument was not only installed to pay tribute to the clashes between the Peruvian Army and the Spanish Navy, but also to highlight and project worldwide the idea of the union of the Americas against any further attempt of invasion by Spain.Este artículo estudia el monumento al Combate del Dos de Mayo en el contexto de la estrategia geopolítica americana posbélica frente a España. Se analizan las características formales del monumento y el espacio urbano en el cual fue levantado pocos años después de empezara el derrocamiento de las murallas virreinales de Lima. El monumento sirvió no solo para homenajear el enfrentamiento entre el ejército peruano y la Armada Española, sino también para realzar y proyectar internacionalmente la idea de unión americana frente a otro posible intento de invasión española
The Roman funerary monument Tower of Sant Josep de Villajoyosa (Alicante). New data and proposal of restitution
Este artículo tiene como objeto la presentación de los resultados de las intervenciones arqueológicas realizadas en el monumento romano de la Torre de Sant Josep en la última década. Éstas han permitido conocer en profundidad las técnicas constructivas empleadas en la edificación del monumento, las fases de ocupación de la torre y su entorno inmediato, así como el significado del monumento en el contexto de la arqueología romana de Villajoyosa. El levantamiento fotogramétrico tanto de la torre como de los elementos arquitectónicos existentes en los alrededores ha permitido elaborar una propuesta de reconstrucción virtual del monumento con los sillares originales. La propuesta contenida en este trabajo ha servido de base para la realización del Proyecto de Restauración de la Torre cuyo fin será la puesta en valor de una de las torres funerarias mejor conservadas de Hispania.The aim of this article is to present the results of the archaeological excavation carried out within the last decade in the Roman monument in the Tower of Sant Josep. These have revealed important information about the Roman construction techniques used to build the monument, the occupation phases of the tower and its surroundings, and the meaning of the monument in the context of the Roman archaeology in Villajoyosa. A 3D photogrammetric survey of the tower and the architectural elements in the surroundings has been used to propose a virtual reconstruction of the funerary monument with the original ashlars. The proposal in this study has been the basis for the Restoration Project of the Tower, which will enhance one of the best preserved funerary towers in Hispania
