Monumental Mines

Through an analysis of three interpreted mines in northeastern Minnesota, this article illuminates how the region’s public history is complicit in the ongoing process of settler colonialism. Largely controlled by iron mining interests, the region’s public history and tourism industry is deeply invested in the future of mineral extraction, representing mining and white-ethnic mining culture as natural and indigenous to the landscape. This narrative erases Ojibwe presence in the region, ignoring both the role mining played in past environmental injustices as well as how it continues to threaten Ojibwe political and resource sovereignty.

The Power of Money in Gender Relations From a Chilean Mining Culture

This article addresses the role of money in power relations among mining and nonmining couples. The research performed in the region of Antofagasta, Chile, is based on an interpretive paradigm, with discursive analysis. Twenty-eight people were interviewed based on the category of conflicts and tensions in money negotiations. Findings include that among older women and men, money appears to be masculinized and associated with an illusion of empowerment of women, exacerbating the androcentric sex/gender model. In their discourses, some women express their progress toward relationships of greater equity. Couples must deal with gender conflicts when negotiating money. Even though women manage the family’s money, it’s not considered their money; therefore, they don’t feel free to use it and must account to the man. In this power game and in negotiating, the model of romantic love prevails, the couple’s public and private position, and a neoliberal culture that promotes high levels of consumption.

"Glocal" governance capacity: Mining heritage of Sardinia

The paper explores government capacities of Sardinian mining heritage (dating back 8 thousand years of mining culture, crashed as an industrial engine in '60s and proclaimed as heritage of great importance by UNESCO in 1997.). Nowadays, characterized by depopulation, lack of management and managing, astonishing sites are conceived, semi-perceived and pseudo-lived. The research has an orientation, character and strategy, pragmatic orientated with qualitative character; oriented to determine what and how should be done in relation to what is wanted to be done. It is a multidisciplinary approach, which implies that research always takes place in a specific social, historical, economic and political context. Questioning trends and urban potentials of Sardinian territories, with a contemporary European strategy, the research discusses on shared cultural experience as long term sustainability, lies down and raises at the level of the local community. The main paper issue is examining "Glocal" - local and global intergovernance capacity by using "Axes of partnership" (local - Parco Geominerario Storico e Ambientale - European and Global Geoparks Network - UNESCO) as the first component of creative partnering, which leads to integration of local communities into participative, cultural, redevelopment process in the context of Sardinian mining heritage as system design sustainability.

“A Miner Knows Better Than Anybody You Have Little Power Over Mother Nature”: Exploring Genesis 1:26–31 and the Concepts of Control and Power with South Derbyshire Coal Miners

This article seeks to analyze a contextually-reflexive reading of Genesis 1:26–31 that was produced by a group of contemporary “ordinary” readers – in this case, a group of South Derbyshire coal miners. The coal miners used Genesis 1:26–31 as a literary platform upon which they interrogated two principal issues: How ‘masculinity’ is constructed, performed, understood, enforced, and legitimized in coal mining culture; and, what the relationship is between humanity and Earth. This resulted in a reading whereby an attempt was made to synthesize how a man’s understanding of ‘masculinity’ impacts upon his relationship with, and attitude towards, Earth.

Cu-Zn slags from Røros (Norway): a case study of rapid cooling and crystal nucleation

The mining town of Røros located in central Norway was established in 1644 and it is known of historical mining industry related to copper. Røros was designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 on the base of mining culture represented by, e.g., unique wooden architecture. Slag pieces are composed of three parts differing in glass to crystallites ratio. Røros slags are composed of olivine- and pyroxene- group minerals accompanied by sulphides, with glass in the interstices. Temperature gradient and volatiles content were determined as the main factor influencing crystallization process in this material

Restaurare un paesaggio industriale: il caso di Carbonia

Established in the 1930s with the redesign of an entire area for coal mining purposes, Carbonia has developed a plan for the protection, conservation and reuse of its built heritage in the last decade, for which it received the 2011 award for landscape from the Council of Europe. The programme commenced with the change in the meaning of mining buildings to create a cultural and research centre to stand alongside ‘The Italian Centre for Coal Mining Culture'. The protection and development of the landscape was entrusted to the ‘Charter for architectural and urban quality' contained in the Urban Plan, which constituted the basis for the rules governing identity, design and modification. After the restoration of the public spaces and the central specialist buildings, the current objective is the ‘widespread restoration' of the residential fabric in a dialectic between conservation and modification.
