El levantamiento de la planimetría urbana de Cartagena, 1867-1871

Entre 1867 y 1869, en el marco del proyecto topográfico-catastral diseñado por Francisco Coello, la Junta General de Estadística lleva a cabo el levantamiento de cartografía urbana de nueve localidades no madrileñas, entre ellas Cartagena. Esa cartografía se conserva en el Archivo técnico del Instituto Geográfico Nacional. Aunque finalmente el levantamiento quedó inconcluso, se cartografió toda la ciudad y el resultado es una planimetría urbana de gran valor geo-histórico y calidad técnica. El presente trabajo estudia el contexto histórico en se cartografía la ciudad, cómo que realiza el levantamiento catastral, el espacio urbano cartografiado y la cartografía resultante.

Córdoba en las “minutas cartográficas” del Instituto Geográfico Nacional (1871-1900) y su hábitat rural como herramienta cartográfica

El señalado valor paisajístico y patrimonial del poblamiento rural está fuera de toda duda. La amplia bibliografía ha puesto de manifiesto la importancia de los pueblos, cortijos, caseríos y haciendas en el contexto de la España rural. Pero esa infinidad de valores ha de completarse con el significado que el hábitat rural adquirió en los orígenes de la cartografía contemporánea. En el presente estudio examinamos, de forma suscita, la perspectiva técnica de la construcción cartográfica y topográfica de finales del siglo XIX, así como su estrecha relación con el hábitat rural como recurso cartográfico en la primera serie topográfica 1:50.000 del Instituto Geográfico. Para ello recurrimos a los itinerarios topográficos realizados entre 1871 y 1893 y a sus resultados en las “minutas cartográficas” para una muestra municipal de la provincia de Córdoba: La Carlota, Conquista, Fernán Núñez, Palma del Río, Valsequillo y Zuheros. Las deducciones concluyentes aspiran a ser un veraz ejemplo del significado cartográfico del hábitat rural como herramienta para el desarrollo de la primera cartografía topográfica cordobesa y española.

"Mídia, Cultura e Desenvolvimento: Estudo Comparado de Revistas Regionais"

Historicamente tido como nacional, o meio revista está sendo regionalmente reinventado. Seus moldes tradicionais passam por uma readaptação e os esquematismos dominantes na produção jornalística já não são homogêneos. Há um movimento setorial à procura de um novo mercado, incrustado nas especificidades regionais e no desenvolvimento socioeconômico que está vicejando num cotidiano desconhecido pela chamada grande imprensa. O mercado de revistas no Brasil cresce consecutivamente e de forma organizada há anos. Embora não haja registros nas fontes de autoridade, as revistas regionais e as tiragens têm se multiplicado velozmente, contrariando os revezes econômico-financeiros sentidos por outros setores da indústria cultural. Este fenômeno é o objetivo desta pesquisa: mapear a nova geografia do meio revista nas cinco macrorregiões brasileiras para entender como as identidades regionais são processadas em favor da comunicação com públicos específicos, característica que está na essência da revista. Métodos mistos de pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa traçam o caminho da justaposição necessária para descrever este surto de publicações regionais. Estudo de casos múltiplos e análise de conteúdo envolvendo cinco revistas de cada uma das regiões políticoadministrativas, descrevem e discutem as tendências da segmentação no mercado editorial além do eixo Rio-São Paulo. Como resultado desta investigação, chega-se às seguintes conclusões: a consolidação de um novo campo jornalístico regional, profissionalizado, competente e criativo, distante do amadorismo, do bairrismo e da mimetização simplista; os mais expressivos veículos de cada uma das cinco macro-regiões infra-nacionais, segundo o construto metodológico criado para esta pesquisa, trabalham as relações, modos e demandas de produção simbólica sem artificialismos; as identidades regionais instituídas estão intimamente ligadas às regiões de influência e as redes urbanas; o retrato do estilo de vida urbano estampado nas revistas do corpus reforça tanto o poder desta como veículo de comunicação, como retroalimenta os sotaques regionais nos níveis sociais onde são produzidas e digeridas.(AU)

Spain:countries of the world

Spain has been the home of some of the world's great artists and has museums and galleries to match. In the cities, narrow twisting old streets suddenly open up to views of the daring modern architecture, as a culture of old and new mix and mingle in the city's nightlife. There are endless tracts of wild and crinkled sierra to explore, as well as some spectacularly rugged stretches of coast. Culturally, the country is littered with superb old buildings, from Roman aqueducts to Gothic cathedrals, and almost every second village has a medieval castle. With more than 115 years exploring the globe with its writers, photographers, and research expeditions, "National Geographic" is uniquely positioned to introduce your readers to everything they need to know about the countries of the world.

Charles Perry and Nathaniel Reed in Mesa Verde Cave

Charles Perry and Nathaniel Reed in Mesa Verde cave, Arizona. Charles Edward Perry (Chuck), 1937-1999, was the founding president of Florida International University in Miami, Florida. He grew up in Logan County, West Virginia and graduated from Bowling Green State University. He married Betty Laird in 1961. In 1969, at the age of 32, Perry was the youngest president of any university in the nation. The name of the university reflects Perry’s desire for a title that would not limit the scope of the institution and would support his vision of having close ties to Latin America. Perry and a founding corps opened FIU to 5,667 students in 1972 with only one large building housing six different schools. Perry left the office of President of FIU in 1976 when the student body had grown to 10,000 students and the university had six buildings, offered 134 different degrees and was fully accredited. Charles Perry died on August 30, 1999 at his home in Rockwall, Texas. He is buried on the FIU campus in front of the Graham Center entrance. Reed, Nathaniel P. (Nathaniel Pryor), 1933- serves on the Board of the National Geographic Society, the Everglades Foundation where he is Vice Chairman, and the Hope Rural School for migrant children. He received a B.A. from Trinity College in Connecticut. He was an officer in the U.S. Air Force and was Assistant Secretary of the Interior for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as well as the U.S. Parks Service. He has also served on the boards of the National Audubon Society, the Nature Conservancy, the National Parks and Conservation Association, and the American Rivers. He is a board member emeriti of the Natural Resources Defense Council and 1000 Friends of Florida. He served on various environmental organization and committees under seven different governors in the state of Florida including as Chairman of the Commission on Florida’s Environmental Future. In 1972 he received the Cornelius Amory Pugsley National Medal Award.
