Environmental Risks between Conceptualization and Action
Get PDFInternational audienceChanges in the contemporary world materialized in particular through population growth and mobility, urbanization, and economic expansion also result in an increased exposure of people and assets to extreme events and impose, implicitly, adequate management of induced risks. The occurrence of natural and anthropogenic risk phenomena, known as hazards, puts a heavy tribute on disaster-sensitive human communities regardless of their level of development. The magnitude of the disasters and their increasing frequency and severity imply the need for their approach by the entire world community and for global action. Knowledge of risks becomes a sine qua condition in carrying out impact studies, risk prevention plans, spatial planning plans, and, in general, a condition for effective management of natural resources or sustainable development projects

ADRIAN POP - IN SEARCH OF A LONG LOST SMILE
Get PDFAn anniversary, especially in the case of a generation colleague, the renowned composer Adrian Pop, generates the remembrance of a long series of musical events that have become notorious, with works included in the national and international concert repertoire. The avoidance of nostalgic memories made that a stage miniature be chosen for the present paper, an incursion of the author into the naive world of childhood reading. The result was a modern, glamorous musical transposition of a sequence with Max and Moritz, the playful heroes created by the famous humorist and cartoonist Wilhelm Busch in the middle of the 19th century. The musical act Onkel Fritz by Adrian Pop was first performed in Cluj in 2016, on October 22, on the occasion of his previous anniversary, within the Cluj Musical Autumn Festival. The graceful performers of the act, presented under the title “Anniversaries at the Festival, Adrian Pop compositional portrait”, were soprano Mihaela Maxim, in the role of Max and pianist Eva Butean, in the role of Moritz. How did composer Adrian Pop manage to musically enliven a 150 years old humorous story? The author of the following text will try to answer this question.
Rezumat. ADRIAN POP - ÎN CĂUTAREA SURÂSULUI PIERDUT. O aniversare, mai ales în cazul unui coleg de generație, reputatul compozitor Adrian Pop, generează rememorarea unui lung șir de evenimente muzicale devenite notorii, cu lucrări intrate în repertoriul intern și internațional de concerte. Evitarea unor memorii nostalgice au făcut ca sorții acestei comunicări să cadă asupra unei miniaturi scenice, o incursiune a autorului în lumea ingenuă a lecturilor din copilărie. A rezultat o transpunere muzicală modernă, plină de farmec, a unei secvențe cu Max și Moritz, eroii poznași creați de celebrul umorist și caricaturist Wilhelm Busch la mijlocul secolului XIX. Prima audiție clujeană a scenetei muzicale Onkel Fritz de Adrian Pop a avut loc în 2016, la 22 octombrie, cu ocazia precedentei sale aniversări, în cadrul Toamnei Muzicale Clujene. Interpreții plini de har ai scenetei prezentate sub genericul „Aniversări în Festival, portret componistic Adrian Pop” au fost soprana Mihaela Maxim, în rolul lui Max și pianista Eva Butean, în rolul lui Moritz. Oare cum a reușit compozitorul Adrian Pop să însuflețească muzical o poveste umoristică de 150 de ani? La această întrebare va încerca să răspundă autoarea acestor rânduri.
