1. The Ruta De La Paz – An Ecostoric Project by Jiménez Deredia

2012

The unexpected meeting between the Costa Rican sculptor Jorge Jiménez Deredia and the ecostoria – a method of research that has been used for some decades at the University of Pisa – is the main theme that is narrated in this volume. The ecostoria, that is to say the history of “living”, allows one to study the civilization of all: including the civilizations defined as “without history”, but which in reality have been forgotten by official history. For this reason the project “La Ruta de La Paz” can be considered an economic action because it studies and incorporates from a contemporary point of view the ancient cultures of the American continent.
