    Alexis Cárdenas Trío, trío de cuerdas (Venezuela)

    No full text
    Concierto celebrado por el trío de cuerdas Alexis Cárdenas trío. Esta agrupación es la concretización de una necesidad que motiva cada día más a los jóvenes músicos latinoamericanos: el reencuentro con las culturas tradicionales. Para Alexis Cárdenas, este reencuentro se presenta como una aventura, a la vez respetuosa de las tradiciones y plena de posibilidades creativas. La esencia misma de nuestras músicas reside precisamente en lo generoso de su apertura como formas vivas y en renovación constante. Como en tantos otros aspectos de la vida y cultura latinoamericana, el terreno es amplio, y la promesa vasta. De allí el lugar preponderante que ocupa la improvisación en el lenguaje y la concepción musical que estos tres músicos presentan. Su repertorio es un viaje por las músicas latinoamericanas en toda su diversidad: joropos, bambucos choros y tangos aspiran a sintetizar la variedad expresiva que identifica nuestro continente frente al resto del mundo

    Coincidentally tonight, as governments continue to grapple with the on-going social crisis in Aboriginal communities, Indigenous author Alexis Wright has just been announced as the winner of the Miles Franklin Award, Australia's most prestigious literary prize, for her second novel Carpentaria. An Indigenous member of the Waanyi nation of Queensland's far north, and long-time activist on Aboriginal affairs, Alexis Wright's sweeping, poetic book explores the rich mythology, chequered history and present day drama of her Gulf country homeland, and was praised by judges as the standout in a highly competitive field, which included dual Booker Prize winner, Peter Carey

    Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event

    In Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general). Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/) To purchase Isla to Island (strongly recommend), check out: https://islatoisland.com/.

    THE MYSTIC ROAD : SELECTED POEMS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS

    No full text
       Alexis karpouzos (born on April 09, 1967) is a philosopher, author, spiritual master and pioneer of higher consciousness. He is author of several books on philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality, modern science. His most famous books are: ‘’Universal consciousness’’, ‘’non-duality’’, ‘’An ocean of souls’’, ‘’Beyond the heaven’’. Alexis Karpouzos is also a recording artist. He has recorded two music albums and twenty-four singles songs. He has also appeared in two documentary films, television and radio productions. He is the pioneer of the post-ontology consciousness and the wisdom of universal wholeness. The global language of poetry of Alexis Karpouzos, by following the paths of wisdom, is a vehicle for transmitting human knowledge and values, history, ancient traditions, and links with nature. It transmits the human values and worldly knowledge that are essential for opening ourselves to the Other. Poetic creation, therefore, forges very strong links between humans -it transcends beyond languages, beliefs and cultures. Each poem appears in its original form, in a vibrant celebration of life, diversity, language, and the enduring power of poetry. At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in mindfulness in spirituality, in consciousness, in art, in education.</p

    Geohistorical Data in Conservation Biology: Historical Changes and Natural Range of Variability to Long-term Climate Changes in the Adriatic

    No full text
    Using ordinations and network analyses, we quantified responses of nearshore mollusk assemblages to climate and sea level changes. We used ~300 samples (~130,000 specimens) from shoreface settings of the Adriatic Basin to compare present-day mollusk assemblages to fossil ones derived from Quaternary sediment cores. The fossiliferous sediments provided a historical archive for measuring long-term term dynamics of mollusk associations in response to climate-driven environmental changes during times when globalization and industrialization were absent or very limited (i.e., prior to the Modern Period). Fossil data indicate that nearshore mollusks assemblages of the last interglacial shifted in their faunal composition during the subsequent ice age, and then reassembled again, with the return of interglacial conditions (Holocene pre-Modern Era). In contrast, the comparison of Holocene vs. modern nearshore assemblages indicates a geologically recent shift in mollusk associations. Contemporary coastal Adriatic mollusk assemblages differ from older fossil assemblages by increased relative abundance of sessile species and presence of non-native taxa. Differences between past and present-day assemblages are particularly notable in lower shoreface settings, with present-day samples showing lower heterogeneity, reduced standardized species richness, and a more simplified trophic network. These recent changes have been likely driven primarily by increasing anthropogenic stressors, including aquaculture, invasive species, and fishing. The resilient response of the mollusk assemblages to long-term environmental changes over the past 125 thousand years highlights the historically unprecedented nature of the ongoing reorganization of Adriatic coastal ecosystems, which are shifting into novel states outside the range of natura
