No full textCommunication weaves the connections between new spatial relations, and creates new meanings and new imaginaries. The contemporary process of communication is giving substance to a model of society which identifies itself in the vast multimedia sea where space and cyberspace meet and combine in a dualism centred on place. In every area, there are forms and ways of life being mediated by social media, which impact on experience in the area and narration in recounting perception, acting on the imaginary and creating new expectations. This narration is present in every individual and is sustained by everyday actions.
The scheme of content related by story, and more generally by forms of textualism, particularly texts mediated in virtual space, is increasingly incorporated into everyday actions. It is made up of shared fragments of ordinary life which are accessible to all. Online communication is becoming more pervasive thanks to a common experiential design helped by user-friendly interfaces and which link images of daily life to a series of images which the public recognise as common aesthetic forms . This uniformity of aesthetic experience is reached through pre-set background patterns and frames in terms of colour and layouts which can be found online all over the world. This uniformity impacts on individual sensitivity because through common frames, colours and codes it standardizes and captures ordinary and experiential individual content so that it can be channelled through online media. The more online information is considered important, in other words, independent, unstructured and spontaneous, the more individuals will incorporate it into their everyday experience. Online word of mouth is thus a substantial part of expressing of opinions in the daily life of networked users

No full textGiovanna Greco, Lo sviluppo di Serra di Vaglio nel V e IV sec. a.C, p. 67-89.
In questa relazione si prende in esame la documentazione relativa all'impianto di V e IV sec. dell'abitato indigeno di Serra di Vaglio. Viene documentata la fase edilizia databile alla seconda metà del V secolo il cui impianto oblitera e distrugge il preesistente agglomerato di capanne e sepolture pertinenti alla seconda età del ferro.
L'impianto edilizio di V secolo a.C. presenta caratteristiche notevoli tra cui un uso frequente e diffuso di terracotte architettoniche policrome.
L'abitato viene ampliato durante il IV secolo fino a raggiungere, nella seconda metà del IV secolo, il momento di maggiore espansione ed articolazione.
Viene documentata, dall'analisi dei materiali provenienti da un deposito e da uno scarico la continuità fra i due momenti edilizi.Greco Giovanna. Lo sviluppo di Serra di Vaglio nel V e IV sec. a. C.. In: Mélanges de l'École française de Rome. Antiquité, tome 94, n°1. 1982. pp. 67-89

OLAF vs. GRECO - Fight against corruption in Europe
No full textPráce se zabývá problematikou boje proti korupci na území Evropy. Přesněji se zaměřuje na dvě organizace: OLAF a GRECO. Cílem této práce je zjistit, jak hluboce tyto organizace přispěly v oblasti protikorupčního boje v evropském prostoru. Pro řešení byla použita metoda historické deskripce, analýzy institucionálního nastavení a komparativní analýzy. K zodpovězení hlavní otázky pomohly dílčí podotázky, které se zaměřily na organizační strukturu, možnost ovlivnit vyšetřování, možnost nastavování protikorupčních politik v Evropě a možnost ovlivnit legislativu svých členských států. Provedenou komparací se podařilo zjistit, že OLAF sice může vést vlastní vyšetřování finančních podvodů, nicméně nemá možnost nastavit protikorupční politiky v Evropě ani ovlivnit legislativu svých členských států. Oproti tomu GRECO nevede vyšetřování korupce, může však do jisté míry ovlivnit nastavování protikorupčních politik v Evropě. GRECO také disponuje pravomocí ovlivnit legislativu svých členských států. Závěry práce přinášejí zprávu o stavu a možnostech boje proti korupci v Evropě (v perspektivě EU a Rady Evropy). Poskytují také materiál o práci OLAFu a GRECa v českém jazyce.The thesis deals with the problematic around the fight against corruption in Europe. Specifically it focuses on two organizations: OLAF and GRECO. The aim of this thesis is to determine how intensively these two organizations have contributed in the fight against corruption in Europe. Historical description, analysis of institutional settings and comparative analysis were used as methods for the solution. The sub-questions, which focused on the organizational structure, the opportunity to influence the investigation, the possibility of setting up anti-corruption policies in Europe and the opportunity to influence the legislation in its Member States, helped to answer the main question. Carrying out this comparison, it was found that although OLAF can conduct its own investigation of financial fraud, it has not got the ability to set up anti-corruption policies in Europe, neither has it got the possibility to influence the legislation in its Member States. In contrast, GRECO does not investigate financial fraud, but it may, to some degree, have influence on setting up the anti-corruption policies in Europe. GRECO also has the power to influence the legislation of its Member States. The conclusion of this work delivers a report on the status and capability to fight against corruption in Europe (from an EU and European Council perspective). It also provides material about the work of OLAF and GRECO in the Czech language
The language of gestures in some of El Greco's altarpieces
No full textThis study explores El Greco's language of gestures. The first part will explain the
preconditions for the general development towards rhetorical gestures and draw
parallels with El Greco's artistic development in the sphere of gestures. In addition,
handbooks on gestures are introduced. The second part will analyse how El Greco
applied gestures, using examples of his paintings .. It will reveal how El Greco
developed some gestures over more than thirty years, and how he creates with their
help an intense concentrated mood in his paintings. It will also demonstrate how he
worked by means of hyperbole to evoke an inspiring atmosphere, how he created
space with the help of gestures and gaze, and how he transformed the meaning of
some 'model' gestures he took over from famous Italian painters. Finally, this work
seeks to renew and intensify the analysis of gestures in painting as a way of
approaching the paintings and revealing layers of meaning that can not be found by an
analysis solely focused on iconographic topics. In this study the body is taken as a
mediator of signs, difficult to read, but decipherable. This study is intended to be a
step forward in approaching a deeper understanding of the codified language of
gesture. It should open the way to an intensified concern with the language of
gestures, with the reading of bodily signs in paintings

Ubiquity of media, above all new media, provides top down and bottom up generated contents. These contents can be produced everywhere and at any time. An increasing use of new media brings about an overproduction of texts and images that, furthermore, puts a greater emphasis on the Territory. Large volumes of accessible forms of narration, are increasingly available. Known as web generated content, despite being almost impossible to verify often have an extremely strong influence both in and over territorialisation processes. This change is highly significant and calls into question social relationships and the subjectivities

No full textNew technologies are introducing important changes in all scientific objects, especially in the field of Geography. Ubiquity of media, above all new media, provides top down and bottom up generated contents. These contents can be produced everywhere and at any time. An increasing use of new media brings about an overproduction of texts and images that, furthermore, puts a greater emphasis on the Territory. Large volumes of accessible forms of narration, are increasingly available. Known as web generated content, despite being almost impossible to verify often have an extremely strong influence both in and over territorialisation processes. This change is highly significant and calls into question social relationships and the subjectivities. Online experience tends to be totalizing, it meets needs in terms of: security, socialization, communication, information and self-esteem, and are now used to generate a new territorial understanding and representation In this contemporary communicative context, territory becomes a narrated subject and assumes new configurations that readjust and balance its significance with new semiological suggestions. Digital communication is a tool with a strong impact both in storytelling and territorial representation, a tool that poses new theoretical and practical questions. In recent years research has focused on this tool as a media to represent and recount territorial complexity and cultural heritage. According to post-representational theory cartography must be understood as a dependent expression, strongly associated with the context that produces and exploits it. This perspective attempts to reach a compromise between those who consider maps as a technical instrument, related to an applied knowledge and those who understand maps as a form of power/knowledge, subjected to an ideological structure. This contest reveals the necessity to investigate the role that new technologies play in geographical research and how deeply they can modify geographical perception. Our question is, to what extent are these new technologies of representation and narration influencing the creation of a sense of territory
OLAF and GRECO - possibilities and limits of the fight against corruption in Europe
No full textTato diplomová práce řeší současný evropský boj proti korupci z pohledu dvou vybraných organizací, OLAF a GRECO. Cílem práce bylo porovnání možností a limitů jednotlivých činností těchto organizací. Práce byla zpracována pomocí komparativní analýzy. Nejprve byly porovnány jednotlivé parametry práce OLAF a GRECO. Dále byla jejich samostatná aktivita porovnána s realitou na příkladu tří členských států, Bulharsku, Maltě a České republice. Hlavním výstupem obou organizací je doporučení. Všechny výsledky se tedy odvíjí od monitoringu těchto doporučení a jejich sankční mechanismy, které se však ukazují jako velmi slabé. Silnou stránkou práce OLAF je vedení vyšetřování, kdy díky vlastním mechanismům pro detekci dokáže případy nejen zachytit, ale též vyšetřit. Limituje ji však chybějící pravomoc v oblasti soudního řízení. Zde se již výsledný efekt přesouvá na členský stát. U GRECO pozorujeme propracovanější monitoring a díky tomu i větší schopnost prosazovat skrze doporučení legislativní změny. Avšak i v tomto případě narážíme na konečnou aktivitu členského státu. Na závěr práce konstatuje, že se obě organizace silně opírají o konečné konání členského státu, i přesto se však organizacím daří podporovat členské státy v boji s korupcí.This diploma thesis addresses the current European attitude toward fight against corruption. The thesis proceeds from the perspective of two organizations, OLAF and GRECO. The aim was to compare the possibilities and limitations of individual activities of these organizations towards the selected countries, Bulgaria, Malta and Czech Republic. First, the individual parameters of OLAF and GRECO were compared. Furthermore, their individual activity was compared with reality of the selected countries. As the result of both organizations is recommendation, it was important to watch their monitoring and sanction mechanism. However, the sanction mechanism and coercion prove to be very weak. The strength of OLAF’s work is the conduct of investigations, which allowed them not only detect cases but also investigate them. The main limit of OLAF investigation remains in the absence of legal authority that moves from OLAF to member state. GRECO shows more sophisticated monitoring and cooperation on compliance of recommendation. Still the main decision for stronger fight against corruption remains on Member State. In conclusion, the thesis states that both organizations rely strong on the final action of the Member State. However, organization can still support the Member States in their fight against corruption
