2025, Ochrona Zabytków

Funkcja społecznego opiekuna zabytków istnieje w polskim systemie prawnym od ponad 70 lat. Stanowi ona ważny element ochrony dziedzictwa kulturowego. Artykuł omawia debaty na temat społecznych opiekunów zabytków toczone obecnie w środowiskach naukowych. Zostały w nim uwzględnione zarówno krytyczne oceny, jak i argumenty
za uznaniem tej funkcji za ważny element trzeciego filaru systemu ochrony zabytków. Szczególny nacisk położono na zróżnicowane doświadczenia społecznych opiekunów zabytków oraz na postulaty dotyczące ich profesjonalizacji i lepszego wykorzystania w systemie ochrony dziedzictwa. W podsumowaniu przedstawiono propozycję zmian
legislacyjnych służących zwiększeniu efektywności instytucji społecznych opiekunów zabytków, co mogłoby się przyczynić do skuteczniejszej ochrony zabytków i budowania społecznej świadomości w tym zakresie.

The first conservation and enhancement campaign at Tell Beirut in March 2024 marked a pivotal step in preserving Beirut’s heritage. This project, a collaboration between the Lebanese University, University of Bologna, and the Directorate General of Antiquities, aimed at surveying, conserving, and enhancing public engagement with the site. Efforts centered on at-risk sectors BEY003, BEY013, and BEY020, originally excavated by H. Sader, U. Finkbeiner, , L. Badre, and N. Karam and conserved in 2004 by Y. Makaroun. These sectors, featuring fortifications dating from the early Middle Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period, had suffered from neglect and were largely invisible to the public. Utilizing GPS and 3D modeling, the team successfully mapped and documented critical structures, providing a detailed understanding of the site’s fortification systems.
Conservation efforts, including clearing debris and stabilizing structures, enabled the reopening of the Tell Beirut Archaeological Park for public viewing and access. Public engagement was enhanced through informational panels and a 3D model of the site’s glacis on Sketchfab, expanding access and sparking research interest in Beirut’s ancient history. The project’s success underscored the importance of interdisciplinary efforts and sustainable management in heritage preservation, establishing Tell Beirut as a model for urban archaeological conservation initiatives.

As space commercialization and strategic competition intensify, international legal frameworks governing outer space are under increasing pressure. This thesis examines two critical and evolving areas of space law: property rights in outer space and liability for orbital debris. Drawing on legal instruments such as the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and the 1972 Convention on Liability for Damage Arising from Activities on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, as well as contemporary frameworks like the Artemis Accords and the Hague Building Blocks, the study evaluates how national legislation and soft-law initiatives are reshaping global governance. Using a qualitative legal analysis and comparative methodology, the research highlights the legal fragmentation caused by unilateral approaches to resource extraction and the insufficiency of current mechanisms to address orbital congestion. The findings reveal an urgent need for multilateral legal reform, stronger enforcement systems, and inclusive policy design to ensure space remains a sustainable and equitable domain. The thesis concludes with recommendations for treaty modernization, regulatory harmonization, and expanded international cooperation, positioning the United States as a pivotal actor in building a more coherent space law architecture.

Apresenta-se uma revisitação e releitura de notícias publicadas na imprensa regional madeirense, na segunda metade do século XIX e primeira do século XX, que aludiam à realização de escavações e descobertas, intencionais e / ou casuais, de «tesouros» e «achados» arqueológicos que, embora sem rigor científico e histórico, despertaram curiosidade e interesse no meio cultural insular, acompanhando a modernidade dos estudos arqueológicos nacionais e internacionais.
No século XIX e primeira metade do século XX, não era expectável fazer-se grandes achados arqueológicos na Ilha da Madeira, como acontecia no resto do mundo, no entanto, defendeu António Aragão (1921-2008) que havia «razões particulares, modestas algumas, outras soberbas, que nos transportam a uma atitude ora de encanto singelo, ora de reverência admirativa», expressão que serviu de mote a este artigo.

The construction of Middle Eastern museology in the context of power-knowledge relationship The museum has been an important instrument in the construction of the past since the nineteenth century. It has been a symbol of modernization as an institution built in all capitals in Europe from the nineteenth century. In terms of the Middle East, the museum has represented an institution that reflects development within the framework of modernization movements. Developing regional museums in this context has not only been used as a means of imperialist annexation but also, for local rulers, a means of attaining Western standards of modernity. In the first case, the construction of the museum is about revealing the construction of the past and emphasising the role played by the ancestors of Western power. In this study, the power-knowledge relationships behind the development of the museum as an institution in the Middle East is examined.

The reflection on the issues of management and reuse of buildings of worship, already begun in a first monograph and highlighted previously on Canopy Forum, is completed in this volume through an in-depth study of buildings of worship in Belgium and France. Although these countries have ancient Catholic traditions, they have been undergoing a process of advanced secularization for decades. The comparison with Italy aims to highlight how the different systems of relations between the state and religious denominations and the multiplicity of regulations involved can affect the issuance of bishop’s decrees, which reduce churches to profane use pursuant to Canon 1222 §2. Proposals for solutions for the Italian context have thus been identified, inspired by international best practices based on dialogue, collaboration, and participation.

Nigeria’s stalled efforts to update its UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List reveal deep institutional bottlenecks rooted in legal, financial, and political misalignments. Despite its immense cultural and natural heritage, the country has only two inscribed sites and an inactive Tentative List, with no dedicated funding in the 2024–2025 federal budgets for its revision. This report identifies the centralization of authority in the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), the budgetary control of the National Assembly, and inconsistent cooperation with subnational actors as key sources of stagnation. Drawing on comparative case studies from India, Germany, Brazil, and Canada, the report advocates for a dual-track strategy: short-term financial workarounds—including executive waivers, state co-funding, and international assistance—and long-term structural reforms such as the decentralization of Tentative List governance through a National Heritage Committee, legal amendments, sustainable funding frameworks, and capacity building. It further explores the potential—but limited—scope for subnational entities to influence nominations under UNESCO’s protocols and Nigeria’s federal constitution. The report offers a blueprint for multi-stakeholder collaboration, positioning heritage as both a national project and a vehicle for inclusive development, with the goal of ensuring Nigeria’s equitable representation on the World Heritage List.

Over the past several decades, hundreds of pyramid-shaped structures around the world have remained obscured beneath layers of forest, vegetation, and soiloften misclassified, neglected, or unexplored due to ecological, cultural, or political barriers. This article presents the first comprehensive global overview of forested pyramids across continents, including sites in China, Indonesia, Mesoamerica, Bosnia, the United States, Cambodia, and the Mediterranean. Drawing from over 30 years of firsthand archaeological exploration and field research, this work analyzes the materials, geometry, orientation, and preservation status of these hidden structures. The paper frames a critical dilemma facing modern archaeology: whether to preserve forest ecosystems that now cover these monuments or excavate and restore the pyramids to advance scientific knowledge and sustainable tourism. Special focus is given to material durability, local ecological conditions, and stakeholder positions (scientific, governmental, and public). The article proposes a tiered strategy for excavation and site management based on construction quality and cultural value, advocating for a balanced approach between conservation and discovery.

Abstract
The texts of travelers, such as the descriptions of monasteries by Cristoforo Buondelmonti in
the 15th century or Tournefort in the 17th century, contain valuable information about the
architecture, the daily life of monks, and the spiritual role of monasteries. Travelers from
Europe were often impressed by the location of the buildings, the natural beauty of the
landscapes surrounding them, and the monastic life. The architecture also aroused their
interest, such as Gerola, who was fascinated by the monasteries of Τzagarolon, Arcadi,
Preveli, or Toplou. Βut the descriptions also give us information about a different aspect of
the life of the monasteries, that of the development of some early form of economic activity.
This activity continues today in many of them and is an example that blends tradition
with modern business strategy, which is now becoming necessary for their survival. The
economic activities of the monasteries have important social implications as they contribute
to sustainability by creating jobs, especially in rural and isolated areas, and often support, as
their ‘raison d'être’ requires, charitable projects. Now days they are important tourist
destinations, attracting visitors interested in history, nature, art and organic products and
enhancing the economic sustainability of a place. The business initiatives of the monasteries
serve as models of sustainable development.
The article presents Holy Monasteries through the writings of travelers and, with the
help of a survey of a sample of 113 people, tries to approach the way in which Holy
Monasteries bridge the past with the present and the innovative practices they engage in
order to maintain a unique role in contemporary society by combining culture and economy.

Thebes is one of the areas that embraced Christianity from the first years of its development. In Boeotia, monasticism also found fertile ground, with the natural consequence of the foundation of many Holy Monasteries. The creation and development of the monasteries brought visitors and soon Boeotia became known for its monasteries. Today, the region is dominated by the Vasilomonastery and the UNESCO monument of Saint Luke, as well as 28 other Byzantine and newer monasteries, examples of excellent architecture and artistic creation. The reconstruction of the monasteries was initiated in recent years by the then Metropolitan of Thebes and Livadia, now Archbishop of Athens Ieronymos. The project of restoration and rehabilitation of the monasteries continues to this day and some monasteries have evensuccessfully moved forward in the business sector, with the establishment of a dairy unit with publishing activity (Pelagia Monastery) or with cultural entrepreneurship (Osiou Loukas Monastery). Today the monasteries of Boeotia receive a huge flow of visitors in the context of rapidly developing pilgrimage tourism in the region, but also a large number of researchers who conduct studies on the architecture of the monasteries. At the local level, an interoperability of local government bodies has been developed, in order to assist the monasteries to plan further promotion, development and easier access to them, making them a global cultural attraction.

2025, Excavations, Surveys and Heritage Management in Victoria

A community-based Aboriginal earth oven recreation experiment, endorsed by the Barengi Gadjin Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (BGLC), was carried out on the banks of the Wimmera River, immediately north of the ‘Dreamtime’ place Wopert Bungundilar, at Haven, near Horsham, Victoria, in October 2015. The recreation has been the point of departure for an ongoing study on experimentally cooked edible roots of the native Microseris, also known as Murnong, acknowledged as one of Aboriginal Victoria’s most important traditional staple foods. Following the preliminary results of a PhD research investigation of one structure’s archaeological remains, the experiment was conceived as a practice of cultural revival, open to the public. Experimental archaeology reveals its socio-cultural potential, being used for restoring an intangible Aboriginal heritage resource. An experimental and ethnohistorical approach was employed, taking into account previous attempts and analogous studies.

Il nuovo Codice, il D.Lgs. n. 36/2023, sul piano regolatorio coglie l'obiettivo di rendere più efficiente il mercato delle concessioni e del PPP, eliminando i requisiti di qualificazione per presentare le proposte private alla P.A. e allargando la platea degli operatori economici, come gli investitori istituzionali, che possono contribuire a integrare la programmazione pubblica e consentire l'affidamento di opere e di servizi con i contratti di concessione. Molto più complesso, invece, è il giudizio sull'operazione di riduzione degli articoli e dei principali istituti che sovraintendono la materia, come la ridenominazione del rischio di disponibilità e la "cancellazione" del contratto di PPP. La nuova semantica, se da una parte coglie l'esigenza di reductio ad unum, adeguandosi alla narrativa della Direttiva concessioni 2014/23/UE, dall'altra rende molto specialistici gli istituti che l'architettura del codice previgente aveva delineato come strumenti ordinari a uso della P.A. Pertanto, le incertezze interpretative che emergono, possono essere risolte ricorrendo all'importante prassi applicativa ed ermeneutica, sviluppata sotto l'egida del codice previgente.

2025, Cidades Comunidades e territórios

The study of Architectural Heritage in “clustered territories”, subjected to social, religious and political compression, identifies sites as an ecosystem of landmarks connected by cultural permanence and spirituality. The maqam (pl. maqamat) identifies an architectural typology of “shrine” in the Levant dedicated to prophets, sheiks and saints across Muslim, Christian and Jewish faiths. It developed as an isolated landmark, on hilltops or desert lands, as a single-chamber structure with a dome, on holy tombs or other devotional places. From the symbolic domed module, it assumed more complex configurations, linked to historical and social factors of territorial change. As “stations” along territorial routes, they linked cultural factors, intangible heritage and spiritual practices in the legacy of local communities. The research aims to an updated mapping action of preserved maqamat, focusing on the route of Abraham’s prophets and recovering memory and heritage values from the historical Palestinian tradition. Through digital survey strategies, compared to bibliographical references, the digitisation of maqamat sites and design
patterns into georeferenced 3D models allows for a double-scale analysis, at territorial and architectural levels. The collection of interviews and oral stories is processed to enrich the visuality of digital 3D data, enabling a key component of storytelling to recover authentic and untold memories from the community legacy. The development of a digital narrative platform supports the communication and widespread knowledge of the heritage typology, evoking introspection and spiritual continuity, and
launches a call for crowd-sourcing in the monitoring and mapping of maqamat sites with the contribution of civil society.

The monograph Prawo i literatura jako kierunek filozoficznoprawny [Law and Literature as a Philosophical and Legal Trend] is one of the most interesting studies devoted to the relationship between law and literature in the Polish scientific literature. Its author, Dr. Joanna Kamień, tries to convince the reader that a new current of research has emerged in Poland, which can be labeled “law and literature”. As a research tool, she proposes the use of four questions, which she has taken from the writings of Cracow scholar Professor Wojciech Zaluski. They read as follows: a) What is the law and what is its nature?; b) What are the values and purpose of the law?; c) What is the basis for the validity of the law and its observance?; d) How are the law studied and learned? This template can be applied to any literary work. The results obtained should then be collated, compared and commented on.

This paper critically explores the transformation of Beirut's urban fabric in the aftermath of the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), focusing on the erasure of historical memory and the imposition of a new spatial and socioeconomic identity that alienates its citizens. Through an interdisciplinary lens combining urban theory, memory studies, and socio-political critique, the study investigates how architecture, instead of acting as a medium for reconciliation and continuity, became a tool of exclusion, commodification, and rupture. The case of downtown Beirut is emblematic of a city rebuilt not for its people, but for capital, power, and curated narratives, leaving behind a population disconnected from their own urban heritage.

2025, Hastings International and Comparative Law Review

Pressures of globalization have strained population movements, restructured markets have led to widening economic divides, and terrorism has redefined national borders and identity. What we have seen in response is a rise in nationalism, nativism and in the extreme cases, isolationism. This inward turn seems to be true at least in the U.S. and in China. This turning inward presents a challenge to those of us who work in and champion the cause of comparative law, since comparative studies by its nature urges us to turn our gaze outward. This article examines what the turn to nativism means for the field of comparative law and methodology, and how we as comparativists can combat this trend.

2025, Stato, Chiese e pluralismo confessionale

ABSTRACT: The current article analyzes the inextricable and instrumental link between intangible religious heritage and tangible religious heritage. More specifically, UNESCO’s nomination processes are examined in order to investigate the evolution and the approach of national and global institutions to intangible religious heritage. Rituals, architectural techniques of constructions and several UNESCO’s nomination dossiers of religious towns are used to shed a light on problematic aspects. Among them, we should wonder if intangible religious heritage underwent a process of political “instrumentalization”, “scientificization” and “objectivization”: which are the consequences of this institutional activity?

Presentation of my book "La gestione e il riuso delle chiese cattoliche in una prospettiva comparata. Un'indagine tra Belgio, Francia e Italia" at UCLouvain (Belgium)

2025

La riflessione sui temi della gestione e del riuso degli edifici di culto, già avviata in una precedente monografia, giunge a compimento in questo volume mediante l’approfondimento delle esperienze di Belgio e Francia. Questi Paesi, seppur di antica tradizione cattolica, sono oggetto da decenni di un processo di secolarizzazione avanzata. La comparazione con l’Italia ha inteso indagare come i diversi sistemi di relazione tra Stato e confessioni religiose e la molteplicità di normative coinvolte incidano rispetto all'emanazione dei decreti di dimissione ex can. 1222 § 2 e all'attuazione di ipotesi di riuso o di uso misto nello spazio o nel tempo. Sono così individuate proposte di soluzione per il contesto italiano che si ispirano alle migliori pratiche internazionali, fondate sul dialogo, sulla collaborazione e sulla partecipazione.

2025, Art history and discourse on the centre and periphery: An homage to Ljubo Karaman 1886—1971

The paper aims to analyse the centre and periphery paradigm in art history by comparing two seminal contributions of Croatian and Italian scholarship: Ljubo Karaman’s Problemi periferijske umjetnosti (1963) and Enrico Castelnuovo’s and Carlo Ginzburg’s Centro e periferia (1979). Despite only sixteen years separating them, these contributions present an opposite approach in many respects. The paper will debate the reasons for this very different perspective contextualising the authors and their objectives. Karaman, Castelnuovo and Ginzburg belonged to different generations in the first instance,and their formation differed significantly. Educated in early twentieth-century Vienna, Karaman was one of the first Croatian art historians and sought to establish working categories about centre and periphery for the next generations. The art historian Castelnuovo and the historian Ginzburg had quite the opposite view. Educated in post-war Italy, they attempted to dismantle a deeply rooted paradigm in Italian art history since Giorgio Vasari and Luigi Lanzi. If Karaman attempted to play the pars construens in the historiography discourse, Castelnuovo and Ginzburg performed the pars destruens. This opposite aspect of the two essays reflects the different professional settings in which the authors worked. On the one hand, Karaman’s operative attitude adopted in the conservation office needed a constructive theory easy to implement. On the other hand, Castelnuovo’s and Ginzburg’s academic environment permitted an entirely theoretical approach that could freely explore and criticise the historiographical construction from its very beginning. Finally, the paper intends to analyse the impact of the two essays in Croatian and Italian art history. To do this, it will consider some relevant examples showing the different approaches applied to some shared subjects, such as the art of the Adriatic basin. By comparing these different perspectives, the paper will give new and multifaceted insights into the centre and periphery paradigm.

2025, Excavations, Surveys and Heritage Management in Victoria

The revisions to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (Vic.) in 2016 gave sponsors of Cultural Heritage Management Plans (CHMPs) the ability to amend their CHMP post-approval for the first time. This legislative change
followed lobbying from the development industry and others who argued that not being able to amend CHMPs was unnecessarily bureaucratic and costly. Since then, hundreds of CHMP Amendments have been approved,
but no data have to date been published to assess the effectiveness of the changes to the legislation. Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) has recently collated data on its 174 CHMPs, including 61 CHMP amendments.
This paper analyses how MRPV has used amendments, the length of time and cost to amend a CHMP, and the challenges of attempting to amend a CHMP for complex linear projects more than once. It concludes by highlighting some factors worth considering when deciding whether to amend a CHMP or commence a new CHMP.

This paper provides a grounded assessment of how SMK should be leveraging SMK Open to meet its organizational goals of expanding its audience to reflect the Danish population, as well as assuming the position of the Digital Museum of Denmark, sharing digital mediation expertise and practices with Danish museums. By deploying digital experiences focused on immersion, the museum can subsequently meet its overarching goals of expanding geographic reach within Denmark while enabling it to derive legitimacy for its role as the Digital Museum of Denmark. In the process, the issues within its innovation process are highlighted which illustrate the organizational, process-driven constraints that are hindering SMK’s digital development, limiting its absorptive capacity for transforming knowledge into dynamic capabilities. The paper concludes with a grounded assessment of managerial implications, focusing on how the re-structuring of the Digital Unit can counterbalance the effects of a lack of internal research and development, brought about by the deployment of the State IT infrastructure. The importance of a digital mindset, permeating the organization is stressed which can in turn enable the weaknesses causing the initial rift within the innovation process to be the tool utilised for its strengthening.

The paper examines the role of UNESCO in the creation, application and development of international legal rules and the protection of cultural property in the event of armed confl ict. The main part of the analysis is related to UNESCO's relation with the most important convention in this fi eld: the1954 Hague Convention for the protection of cultural property in the event of armed confl ict and its two protocols. The historical development of international legal rules concerning this problem is presented, as well as recent novelties relating to the international prosecution of crimes against cultural property and the possible actions which UNESCO can take has in this context. The relation between UNESCO and other international legal instruments and organizations in the protection of cultural property in the event of armed confl ict is analyzed as well.
