Geography & the EnvironmentNovember 2021Shout out what is silenced
A young eco-social activist gives voice to what the Climate Summits silence.
by Alejandro Quecedo del Val, Marina Garcés
"Alejandro Quecedo del Val points to the need for a reform of being and feeling that connects us again with nature." - foreword by Marina Garcés Gritar lo que está callado (Shout out what is silenced) is written by a 19-year-old who has attended climate summits representing Spain. It is not just another book about climate change, it is a book that reveals what is on the fringes of the climate summits, what prevents the fight against climate change from progressing. The invited and silenced young people are the example of the smoke screens that are created in the information of the disaster, for example with the Greta Thunberg phenomenon. Under the slogan Uniting the world to tackle climate change, the next United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) — held in Glasgow (United Kingdom) from November 1 to 12, 2021— brought together representatives of around 200 governments with the aim of accelerating climate action to comply with the Paris Agreement. In a recent article, Alejandro Quecedo pointed to the disappointment of a large part of the activist sector, after learning about the withdrawal of permits and funding for citizen and scientific initiatives, with the excuse of not "excessively politicizing the summit", a fact to which was added the leak to the media that certain lobbies had pressed to amend the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in order to deny the evidence of an increasingly imminent catastrophe and blind public opinion with half-truths, sweetened. The author has been interviewed by the most important media in Spain, all interested in his position: to ask for a change of sensitivity in order to stop the eco-social crisis.

A New Alphabet to Write (and Read) Advertising Today
by Paolo Iabichino
Anyone who has had anything to do with written communication is experiencing a real genetic mutation; the digital revolution has completely overturned the programme schedules, disowned traditional marketing and overwhelmed the old paradigms of information, of advertising, or political and corporate narration. It is as though our writing had lost the capacity to be fixed and once in the Internet our words lose their references and fly away, becoming lost from contexts and being transformed into something else. It no longer seems to be enough to write well; rhetoric can still come to our aid, but changing our attitude to writing is essential and the grammar of the social media can teach us a new syntax. Iabichino has worked in advertising for about two decades and has created – with lucid and disillusioned awareness – a new professional alphabet, to learn how to write better advertising for everyone in a contemporary way, regardless of the media that hosts it.

Religious buildingsJanuary 2019La catedral habitada
Historia viva de un espacio arquitectónico
by Eduardo Carrero
Esta obra ofrece una dimensión transversal de la historia del espacio de las catedrales a partir de su uso y sus transformaciones, a través de las constantes que realmente determinaron la construcción de cada edificio: la liturgia, la historia institucional y ceremonial, las fiestas locales o la vida cotidiana. Cada catedral fue una entidad autónoma que se rigió por leyes y estatutos propios que también afectaron a su historia arquitectónica y funcional. Desde la perspectiva del clero, la catedral se concentraba entre el altar mayor y el coro, con la organización del culto y sus posibles escenarios. Para reyes y autoridades, la catedral era el marco en el que justificar los orígenes divinos de su gobierno. Para los fieles, la catedral era el gran edificio que albergaba sus señas de identidad, entre las celebraciones y los santos de su devoción; un eslabón arquitectónico entre tierra y cielo. Pero con el paso del tiempo los usos del espacio catedralicio cambiaban y se alteraban. Es, al fin y al cabo, la historia de un espacio edificado en constante transformación.
