La patrimonializzazione del modernismo sovietico in Uzbekistan. Scenari normativi e strumenti operativi
This paper analyzes the system for recognizing and protecting 20th-century architecture in Uzbekistan. The country has recently initiated a review of its regulatory framework, including in the area of built heritage conservation. In this rapidly evolving scenario, there is an increasing focus on the modernist architecture of the Soviet era, which is starting to be included in the State Cadastre of Cultural Heritage. The study focuses on the regulatory instruments and operational strategies that accompany the heritagization process. It highlights how the increase in resources and cultural awareness is not yet supported by adequate technical and operational skills essential to ensure informed interventions. To address this need, the research tested the statement of significance as a ready-to-use methodological tool, a practical and replicable system that can be applied in other contexts, offering a framework for developing more structured, effective, and sustainable conservation interventions.

Modernism : evolution of an idea
Modernism: Evolution of an Idea traces the development of the term \"modernism\" from cultural debates in the early twentieth century to the dynamic contemporary field of modernist studies. Rather than assuming and recounting the contributions of modernism's chief literary and artistic figures, this book focuses on critical formulations and reception through topics such as: the evolution of modernism from a pejorative term in intellectual arguments to its subsequent centrality to definitions of new art; new criticism and its legacies in the formation of the modernist canon in anthologies, classrooms, and literary histories; and shifting conceptions of modernism during the rise of gender and race studies, French theory, Marxist criticism, postmodernism, and more.

The Cambridge companion to modernism
\"This Companion has long been a standard introduction to the field. Now fully updated and enhanced with four new chapters, it addresses the key themes being researched, taught and studied in modernism today. Its interdisciplinary approach is central to its success as it brings together readings of the many varieties of modernism. Chapters address the major literary genres, the intellectual, religious and political contexts, and parallel developments in film, painting and music. The catastrophe of the First World War, the emergence of feminism, the race for empire, the conflict among classes: the essays show how these events and circumstances shaped aesthetic and literary experiments. In doing so, they explain clearly both the precise formal innovations in language, image, scene and tone, and the broad historical conditions of a movement that aspired to transform culture\"-- Provided by publisher.
