[email protected] Building a Boundary: the First Venetian-Ottoman Border in Dalmatia, 1573-1576 The establishment of a precise borderline between the Ottoman Empire and the Repu- blic of Venice on the Dalmatian mainland fi rst became an issue as a consequence of the third Venetian-Ottoman War (1537–1540). The issue arose again after the War of Cyprus (1570–1573). The victories of the Turkish army forced the Venetians to sue for a favourable interpretation of the 1573 peace treaty, under which they envisaged a full handover of their pre-war Dalmatian territories. The lengthy negotiations involved the Grand Vizier Mehmed Sokollu and his counsellor Solomon Ashkenazi, the Venetian Senate and its ambassadors. Only once Sultan Murad III had agreed to a settlement did both the Ottoman Empire and Venice send a special commission to Dalmatia, led respectively by Ferhat Sokolovic, Sanjak-bey of Bosnia, and by the Venetian nobleman Giacomo Soranzo. The negotiations took place in pavilions erected in Biljane, near Zadar; they were later moved to Skradin and fi nally to Solin during the summer of 1576. The Venetian government was highly satisfi ed with the new borderline, which led to relatively improved relations between the two states that lasted until the War of Candia (1645–69).

  • A Fountain for Memory
    1 A FOUNTAIN FOR MEMORY: The Trevi Flow of Power and Transcultural Performance Pam Krist, PhD Thesis School of Modern Languages, Literature and Culture Royal Holloway, University of London 2015 2 3 Abstract In memory studies much research on monuments focuses on those with traumatic or controversial associations whilst others can be overlooked. The thesis explores this gap and seeks to supplement the critical understanding of a populist monument as a nexus for cultural remembering. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is chosen because it is a conduit for the flow of multivalent imagery, ideological manipulation, and ever-evolving performances of memory, from design plans to mediated representations. The thesis begins by locating the historical pre-material and material presences of the Fountain, establishing this contextual consideration as contributory to memory studies. It then surveys the field of theory to build a necessarily flexible conceptual framework for researching the Fountain which, given the movement and sound of water and the coin-throwing ritual, differs from a static monument in its memorial connotations. The interpretations of the illusory Trevi design and its myths are explored before employing a cross-disciplinary approach to the intertextuality of its presences and its performative potential in art, literature, film, music, advertising and on the Internet. The thesis concludes with questions about the digital Trevi and dilution of memory. Gathering strength throughout is the premise of the Fountain as a transcultural vehicle for dominant ideologies ‒ from the papal to commercial, the Grand Tour to cyber tourism ‒ seeking to control remembering and forgetting. Sometimes these are undermined by the social and inventive practices of memory.

  • 'An Evil Version of Our Accent': Language Ideologies and The
    ‘An evil version of our accent’: Language ideologies and the neighbouring other Allan Bell Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand University of Hong Kong Stylized materials from mediated comedy texts are frequently salient carriers of language ideologies. 1 The comedy is often based on reimagining our relationship with an Other, in particular where the marginalized are able – at least briefly in the context of comic performance – to turn the tables on those who are positioned at a dominating centre. Even if the subversion does not and cannot last, its brief life has the potential to effect a slight, temporary shift in the balance of power, to lessen the domination of the centre and enhance the free space of the periphery. Comedy can function to bring to the surface ideologies that normally remain invisible. Mediated comedy which deals in some way with language, therefore, has the capacity to dis- place reigning linguistic ideologies, if only a little, and thus to contribute to the wider envelope of linguistic, sociolinguistic and social change. While linguistic ideologies sometimes surface in open debates about language, more often they remain unspoken and unconscious. They may have major social and political effects – from individual discrimination through to armed conflict – but most of the time people are scarcely aware of their existence. These ideologies are ‘naturalized’: they represent commonsense views of language and society that people take for granted. They need no justification, they just describe the way the world is. But while self-presenting as neutral descriptions, ideologies have reper- cussions which are far from unaligned. In this chapter, I focus attention mainly on ideologies that are associated with dialect differences, and how those position speakers of different dialects.
