A study of the zoomorphic representations in the symbology of the Contradas of Siena. A zooarchaeological approach
No full textAmong the Contradas that still take part in the Palio of Siena today, 15 out of 17 have kept the same animal in their symbology for centuries. In many cases, however, the faunistic subject has undergone significant variations over time, consisting of small morphological and/or chromatic changes, or even producing the representation of different taxa. Scholars and enthusiasts of the Palio have advanced numerous hypotheses, sometimes contrasting and difficult to verify, to explain the reasons for these changes. We present a case study where the results of a systematic review of the iconographic and written documentation preserved in the historical archives of the City and the Museums of the Contradas have been compared with the data present in the zooarchaeological literature. Finally, we propose a hypothesis regarding to the identification at specific level of the zoomorphic figure represented in the oldest document found to date in which the symbolism of the Contrada della Pantera is represented by a felid.Among the Contradas that still take part in the Palio of Siena today, 15 out of 17 have kept the same animal in their symbology for centuries.

New approaches on the studies of Neanderthal dwelling space use: bone refits at units A9 and A5-A6 of Fumane Cave (Verona, Italy)
No full textThis contribution forms part of a larger project entitled “Attesting Neanderthal Dwelling Space Use (ANDSU): effects of human occupations in the Middle Palaeolithic record of Fumane cave”. It focuses on the spatial organization of Neanderthal dwelling units in Fumane cave (units A9, A5-A6), using a mixed methodology approach. The project aims to gain insights into assemblage formation processes, post-depositional dynamics, settlement patterns, and the integrity of stratigraphic units. Bone refits, spatial and exploratory statistical analysis, and 3D reconstructions are used to achieve these goals. Refitting studies provide valuable data, while 3D scan acquisition of refitted bones enables the development of computerized analytical methods. These methods can make refit semi-automatic or automatic.The project shows the importance of integrating innovative methods from other disciplines to understand the diversity of occupational patterns in Middle Palaeolithic records.This contribution forms part of a larger project entitled “Attesting Neanderthal Dwelling Space Use (ANDSU): effects of human occupations in the Middle Palaeolithic record of Fumane cave”.

Diálogos entre escenas contraculturales, Madrid y Buenos Aires entre el under y la institucionalización 1975-1990
No full textThis article proposes comparative research between the countercultural contexts that developed in Madrid and Buenos Aires in the post-dictatorial moments that both societies went through between the seventies and the nineties. This analysis reveals how youth cultures in Buenos Aires and Madrid evolved in constant dialogue with institutions and urban imaginaries, configuringnew meanings of modernity and cultural creation. Both of these cases show similar tensions between the creative impulse of young people, who were key agents in the transitional contexts, and the attempts at institutionalisation that sought to control and order their practices and the spaces they inhabited. The cultural circulation among these cities emphasises the existence of transnational exchanges, which not only disseminated images but also allowed for the participation and production of transgressive initiatives in local contexts.Este artículo propone una investigación dialógica entre los contextos contraculturales que se desarrollaron en Madrid y Buenos Aires en los momentos posdictatoriales que atravesaron ambas sociedades entre los años setenta y los noventa. Este análisis revela cómo las culturas juveniles en Buenos Aires y Madrid evolucionaron en diálogo constante con las instituciones y los imaginarios urbanos, configurando nuevos significados de modernidad y creación cultural. Ambos casos reflejan tensiones similares entre el impulso creativo de los jóvenes, que fueron agentes fundamentales en los contextos transicionales, y los intentos de institucionalización que trataron de controlar y ordenar sus prácticas y los espacios que habitaban. La circulación cultural entre estas ciudades pone énfasis en la existencia de intercambios transnacionales, que no sólo difundía imágenes sino que permitía la participación y la producción de iniciativas transgresoras en contextos locales

Deporte y paisaje. Dos complejos deportivos para las masas madrileñas en el monte de El Pardo: La Ciudad-Playa y la Playa de Madrid
No full textEl Pardo Woodland, located on the outskirts of Madrid, is one of the oldest royal hunting grounds of the Spanish monarchy. Its landscape was highlighted by Francisco Giner de los Ríos in the last third of the 19th century. Thanks to this, it became one of the favourite places for the expansion of the people of Madrid. As a result, in the 1930s, two proposals were presented to the managers of the royal site for the creation of complete sports facilities that a capital like Madrid needed. This article presents the Ciudad-Playa project by Fernando García Mercadal and provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution of the first sports complex in the capital, the Playa de Madrid. This complex is studied from its initial conception in April 1931 by José Entrecanales and Fernando Arzadún, the changes introduced by Manuel Muñoz Monasterio, and the evolution of the complex up to the present day.El monte de El Pardo, situado en las inmediaciones de Madrid, es uno de los cazaderos reales más antiguos de la monarquía española. Su paisaje fue puesto en valor por Francisco Giner de los Ríos en el último tercio del siglo XIX. Gracias a esto, se convirtió en uno de los lugares favoritos de expansión de los madrileños. Por ello, a los gestores del real sitio se presentaron en la década de 1930 dos propuestas para la creación de completas instalaciones deportivas que una capital como Madrid necesitaba. En este artículo se presenta el proyecto de la Ciudad-Playa, de Fernando García Mercadal, y se analiza en profundidad el devenir del primer complejo deportivo de la capital, la Playa de Madrid. De este complejo se estudia su primera concepción en abril de 1931, por José Entrecanales y Fernando Arzadún, los cambios introducidos por Manuel Muñoz Monasterio y su desarrollo hasta la actualidad

Knowledge and Power in the Age of AI: From the Rhizome to Techno-Feudalism
No full text
In the era of artificial intelligence, knowledge is being transformed by informational fragmentation and the concentration of digital power. This article examines how rhizomatic logic has led to a decentralized ecosystem lacking hierarchical structures, where information overload hinders the construction of meaning. Additionally, neo-Baroque aesthetics intensify the saturation of stimuli, while techno-feudalism turns data into a resource exploited by major digital platforms. In response, General Systems Theory is proposed as a framework to balance openness and regulation, offering strategies to preserve intellectual autonomy in an environment dominated by private interests.En la era de la inteligencia artificial, el conocimiento se transforma bajo la fragmentación informativa y la concentración del poder digital. Este artículo examina cómo la lógica rizomática ha dado lugar a un ecosistema descentralizado pero sin estructuras jerárquicas, donde la sobrecarga informativa dificulta la construcción de significado. A ello se suma el neobarroquismo, que intensifica la saturación de estímulos, y el tecnofeudalismo, que convierte los datos en un recurso explotado por las grandes plataformas digitales. Frente a este panorama, se propone la Teoría General de Sistemas como un marco para equilibrar apertura y regulación, ofreciendo estrategias para preservar la autonomía intelectual en un entorno dominado por intereses privados
