Patrimonio Mundial 97: Personas que protegen el Patrimonio Mundial
0 out of 5(0)La Convención del Patrimonio Mundial es un instrumento jurídico único, que protege tanto los sitios culturales como los naturales. Tiene un amplio alcance, pero sólo es eficaz gracias a las personas que la aplican: administradores de sitios, comunidades locales, jóvenes, autoridades municipales, expertos en patrimonio…y la lista continúa.
Parte del papel de la UNESCO es reunir a estas personas y apoyar el trabajo que realizan. En este número, les presentamos a numerosas personas que dedican sus carreras -incluso sus vidas- a cuidar estos preciosos y frágiles sitios.

Inventory of Monuments at Pagan Vol. 6
0 out of 5(0)Pagan is Burma’s foremost historical site and was the capital of the first dynasty to unify the country, between the 11th and 13th centuries AD. It also ranks as one of the world’s most spectacular and important Buddhist sites, containing more than 2000 religious monuments spread over an area of 16 square miles. This is the first of nine volumes of an inventory arising from a project sponsored by UNDP/UNESCO and with the co-operation of the Ecole Francaise d’Extreme-Orient, involving the collection of data for 2260 monuments, each of which was surveyed, drawn and photographed in detail. Several pages are devoted to each monument, with a layout presenting line drawings, photographs and descriptive notes. The inventory preserves a wealth of information and detail on what is subject to a rapid process of deterioration, accelerated by the 1975 earthquake in which many monuments were completely lost.

History of humanity: scientific and cultural development, v. VI: The Nineteenth century
Culture, CultureHistory of humanity: scientific and cultural development, v. VI: The Nineteenth century
0 out of 5(0)Each volume of the new UNESCO History of Humanity covers a period which can claim to have witnessed momentous change in the evolution of human society. The evolving panorama of humankind on the planet is manifest throughout, and who can say, sub specie aeternitatis, which phases of change will have proved the most portentous for the long-term future of humanity? It is the primary role of a history such as this to document the story of change within its period, to understand the pattern of evolution in its manifold manifestations and to assess its wider meaning, rather than to cast moral judgements or to make facile comparisons. But change has evolved at a different pace in different millennia and over different centuries. Change has been more pervasive in some societies than in others – affecting a wider or narrower range of human activities and the human consciousness, impacting upon different levels of society; diffused over greater or more limited regions of the world; influencing different ranges of cultures and social groups within cultures. Stability, or slow evolution, rather than dramatic change characterized many societies in this period but it is right, in an introduction, to concentrate on the forces of change rather than those of inertia if we are to understand how the world differed in 1914 from what it had been in 1789 or 1800.
The ‘chronological’ nineteenth century – or, even more, the ‘long’ nineteenth century between the French Revolution of 1789, followed by world-wide wars, and the First World War of 1914, which engulfed the globe on an even more pervasive and lethal scale – must surely rank as one of the great pivotal epochs in the evolution of economies, societies and cultures. No region of the world proved to be beyond the influence of major forces of change; no culture was immune, directly or indirectly. Where some indigenous cultures did not themselves originate any major impetus for change beyond their own regions, virtually all economies and cultures reacted and responded to the thrust of change derived from beyond their boundaries, in turn influencing the process of cultural interaction which was never unidirectional (as was also the case with economic and political interactions). In many places, in regions of Asia and Africa in particular, such inf luences came with conquest and colonization in the nineteenth century; in others such influences were already the heritage of and evolution from previous centuries (as in Latin America). But formal subjugation was perhaps the lesser means whereby what was loosely termed ‘Westernization’ spread across much the world from Europe, North America and their outposts of settlement in Australasia, South Africa and North Africa.
