On the basis of the earliest toponyms and administrative documents pertaining to Val Resia a hypothesis on the Alpine Slavic settlement, the original name of these settlers and the early Medieval ...development of the valley is proposed. The identical name for the village of San Giorgio and for the valley as a whole during this period turns out to be an important fact in favour of this hypothesis.
Les variétés de slovène du Val Resia, en Frioul-Vénétie Julienne, sont enclavées derrière un contrefort montagneux qui les isole du réseau dialectal slovène. Une riche tradition de recherche les ...documente depuis deux siècles, et connaît un renouveau grâce à l’aménagement linguistique « de par en bas » (associatif). Une codification a pris forme dans les années 1990, fondée sur un travail de recherche tenant compte de la diversité dialectale interne de cette micro-région. Cependant, divers points de vue s’opposent, sur le plan glottopolitique entre d’une part, les tenants d’une individuation localiste contre une intégration dans le concert des dialectes slovènes, et d’autre part, les tenants d’une intégration polynomique et pragmatique, cultivant le lien avec la langue de référence, le slovène, dans une relation de complémentarité. Le présent article rend compte de ce dilemme et des contradictions entre plan émique et plan étique, sur la base d’un état documentaire diversifié et d’observations de terrain. On propose trois « modèles » ou scénarios » de développement social et de revitalisation du résian et des variétés italo-slovènes proches : la citadelle (isolationnisme, avec risque de substitution sociolinguistique), le pont (intégration, avec risque d’assimilation par le slovène standard), le pont-levis (un pluralisme polynomique, avec ouverture au monde slovène et slave, tout en maintenant une spécificité structurale). Des trois options, c’est semble-t-il la troisième qui tend, fort heureusement, à prévaloir depuis plusieurs décennies, bien qu’il faille rester vigilant à maintenir un équilibre entre individuation, isolement et assimilation. C’est là un processus sans fin, dont le résian constitue un cas exemplaire pour la glottopolitique des minorités transfrontalières.
Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) influence landscape development in tectonically active mountain ranges. Nevertheless, the relationships among tectonics, DSGSDs, and topography ...are poorly known. In this paper, the distribution of DSGSDs and their relationships with tectonic structures and active processes, surface processes, and topography were investigated at different scales. Over 100 DSGSDs were mapped in a 5000 km
2 sector of the central Eastern Alps between the Valtellina, Engadine and Venosta valleys. Detailed lineament mapping was carried out by photo-interpretation in a smaller area (about 750 km
2) including the upper Valtellina and Val Venosta. Fault populations were also analysed in the field and their mechanisms unravelled, allowing to identify different structural stages, the youngest being consistent with the regional pattern of the ongoing crustal deformation. Finally, four DSGSD examples have been investigated in detail by geological and 2D geomechanical modelling.
DSGSDs affect more than 10% of the study area, and mainly cluster in areas where anisotropic fractured rock mass and high local relief occur. Their onset and development is subjected to a strong passive control by mesoscopic and major tectonic features, including regional nappe boundaries as well as NW–SE, N–S and NE–SW trending recent brittle structures. The kinematic consistency between these structures and the pattern of seismicity suggests that active tectonics may force DSGSDs, although field evidence and numerical models indicate slope debuttressing related to deglaciation as a primary triggering mechanism.
Resia is a part of Slovenian ethnic settlement in Italy, yet due to geographical and historical reasons, most of the population has not developed a sense of Slovenian ethnic identity, but rather, ...only their local one. After 1999 the municipality of Resia was included into three protection acts for Slovenian linguistic minority. Part of the population and the actual municipal government is categorically opposed to that, which has provoked many drastic conflicts in the valley. In this paper, the author presents and analyses the placement of the municipality of Resia into the protection acts for Slovenian minority, reasons for opposing this placement and the problems with the application of the minority protection by the authorities.
The contribution presents findings from the research on a constitution of new ethnic identities in Alps-Adriatic region. The key question dealt here with was to which extent the recent demographical ...processes impact the peripheral, mountainous, and ethnically specific cross-border region between Slovenia and Italy. In lay and professional discourse there is still omnipresent mentality of extinguishing Slovene minority in Italy. Applying various demographical methods the article resolves the demographical processes and quantifies the extent of the local Slovene speakers. The author argues that the recent demographical processes of heavy depopulation tend to stabilize towards stagnation. Depopulation is stronger in the Slovenian part of the region, though the traditional Slovene-speaking areas in Italy aren’t as threatened as the adjacent Friulian areas. New migration trends along with the generally low fertility contribute to changes in traditional dualistic structure and bring refreshment to remote parts of the border region as well.
Different from the northern valleys of the Italian Julian Alps the bottoms of the western valleys do not contain any late-pleistocene moraines. However, common to all valleys is the large glaciation ...most probably in the Gschnitz-stage, in which the glaciers reached particularly low locations due to special favourable aspects such as north-exposure, steep and narrow gorges, high shading and considerable snow accumulation. This is also valid for the sidebranches of the Slovenian Koritnica valley which are again directed west-east. Still younger glacier stages could be found in the upper sections of the Dogna, Raccolana and Bala valley. For the moraines of very low altitudes in the Resia valley, at the entrance to Možnica and the upper Raccolana valley pollen analyses are available. All considerations in the paper are estimations based on geomorphological and climatological experience.
Fieldwork and current research projects in Central and South America on the Gesneriaceae have shown that nomenclatural and taxonomic changes are needed. The Ecuadorian endemic species Columnea ...albovinosa (M. Freiberg) J. L. Clark & L. E. Skog is transferred from Dalbergaria Tussac. The name Pentadenia lutea M. Freiberg is synonymized with C. angustata (Wiehler) L. E. Skog. Amalophyllon ecuadoranum (Wiehler) J. L. Clark, comb. nov., is recognized as a species distinct from A. divaricatum (Poepp.) Boggan, L. E. Skog & Roalson. The application of the name C. serrata (Klotzsch ex Oerst.) Hanst. is stabilized by the designation of a neotype. The new name Drymonia ovatifolia J. L. Clark is made for the species Nautilocalyx dressleri Wiehler. Resia bracteata, a name originally published without a Latin diagnosis, is here validly published as R. bracteata J. L. Clark & L. E. Skog. El trabajo de campo en Gesneriaceae realizado en Centro y Sur América, ha evidenciado la necesidad de realizar algunos cambios taxonómicos y nomenclaturales. Columnea albovinosa (M. Freiberg) J. L. Clark & L. E. Skog, especie endémica de Ecuador, se transfiere de Dalbergaria Tussac. Pentadenia lutea M. Freiberg es sinonimizada con C. angustata (Wiehler) L. E. Skog. Se reconoce a Amalophyllon ecuadoranum (Wiehler) J. L. Clark, comb. nov., como una especie diferente de A. divaricatum (Poepp.) Boggan, L. E. Skog & Roalson. Para preservar la estabilidad de la especie se designa un neotipo para C. serrata (Klotzsch ex Oerst.) Hanst. Se crea un nuevo nombre, Drymonia ovatifolia J. L. Clark, para la especie Nautilocalyx dressleri Wiehler. La especie Resia bracteata, originalmente publicada sin la diagnosis en latín, es válidamente publicada como R. bracteata J. L. Clark & L. E. Skog.
Presented are seven folktales from Resia in northern Italy with a strong Slovene minority. On CD are presented narratives which have been recorded on magnetic tape by Academician Milko Matičetov. ...Translations from the Resian dialect in Slovene and in Italian language are published in accompanying book. One folk tale was recently recorded by Roberto Dapit in the Resian village of Lischiazze/Liščaci, and has been included in the collection to illustrate contemporary Resian narrative tradition. The tales recorded on the compact disk represent four different language groups of the Resian dialect, namely that of Stolvizza/Solbica, Oseacco/Osojane, San Giorgio/Bila, and Gniva/Njiva. This work was done within the project Zborzbirk.
