    ground in the city Under g aller EnPlease drop me in the box as you leave y texts Down the rabbit hole 1 We experience what is happening above ground on a daily basis, but what lies underneath the earth’s surface is usually hidden from view. And because that world is largely terra incognita for us, what happens there is shrouded in mystery. Stories about tunnels used to access and rob banks or as secret escape routes capture our imagination. By their very nature, illegal resistance movements operate ‘underground’, shunning the spotlight. The underground scene of artistic subcultures also prefers to avoid the glare of public attention. Besides arousing our curiosity, the unknown frightens us. The devil and other monstrous creatures are said to be lurking deep under the ground. Sewage workers would be well advised to offer up a quick prayer before removing a manhole cover. On the other hand, it is to the earth that we entrust our most cherished treasures.

  • The Book Tower's Long Tail  0 CO MME N T S  DE L E N
    The Book Tower's Long Tail 0 CO MME N T S DE L E N LIT ERAT URE The Book Tower's Long Tail On the deal between Google Books and Ghent University library By Ruben Mantels, translated by 25/06/2019 10 min reading time Lindsay Edwards On 23 May 2007 Google and the University of Ghent signed an agreement. As a result, the Book Tower became the fifteenth institution worldwide to join the American company in its ambition to digitize the world's paper heritage. Ghent University Library and the Royal Library in The Hague (14 July 2010) are still the only libraries in the Low Countries whose collections are included in Google Books. The first shipment left on 11 October 2007; the last load of old editions appeared online in 2018. So, it's time to take stock. oogle was founded in 1998 with the mission "to organize the G world's information and make it universally accessible and useful". In the early 2000s it indexed more or less the whole web and opened it up with the PageRank algorithm, which was developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in the garage of Susan Wojcicki, who is now CEO of YouTube. New sources of information entered the picture. In 2004, by which time the company was listed on the stock exchange, it developed Google Scholar, a bibliographical databank that made it possible to search through scientific journals. It also launched Google Books. Then, on 14 December the same year, the company announced that it would “digitize the ‘world’s knowledge’”.

    HENRI PIRENNE INSTITUTE FOR MEDIEVAL STUDIES (GHENT) with CENTER FOR MEDIEVAL STUDIES (FORDHAM), CENTRE FOR MEDIEVAL LITERATURE (ODENSE AND YORK) and CENTRE FOR MEDIEVAL STUDIES (YORK) SCALES OF KNOWLEDGE: FROM COSMOS TO BOOK AUTUMN SCHOOL IN MEDIEVAL LANGUAGES AND CULTURE 2021 GHENT AND FORDHAM, 18 – 22 OCTOBER 2021 The move in Medieval Studies away from nationalising and Eurocentric paradigms toward the ‘Global Middle Ages’ raises pressing and fascinating intellectual questions about scales of knowledge. How do we negotiate these scales as we move between the micro and the macro? What spatial and temporal scales do we use to study the period defined for ‘Europe’ as ‘The Middle Ages’? These same questions of scale were also challenging a millennium ago, especially in the years around 1100, in the wake of the 1st Crusade, which transformed Latin Europe’s relationship with the Afro-Eurasian space. Taking the 12th-century Liber Floridus, a manuscript created at a specific time and place, as its touchstone, this Autumn School will address the challenge of scales of knowledge in times of rapid geopolitical change. The Liber Floridus is an intensely richly illustrated encyclopedia, produced by Lambert, a canon in the Flemish city of St Omer, working in the early decades of the twelfth century. This Autumn School is organized for PhD- and MA- students in Medieval Studies. It will be organized in a blended way, allowing distance participation for both tutors and students, via Fordham or Ghent, and • Application deadline 20 September 2021 Information and registration: • Ghent registration fee of EUR 100 (EUR for the whole programme to move online if 50 for online attendance), with limited Martine De Reu necessary.

  • Medieval Bruges Edited by Andrew Brown , Jan Dumolyn Frontmatter More Information I
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-41965-9 — Medieval Bruges Edited by Andrew Brown , Jan Dumolyn Frontmatter More Information i Medieval Bruges Bruges was undoubtedly one of the most important cities in medieval Europe. Bringing together specialists from both archaeology and his- tory, this ‘total’ history presents an integrated view of the city’s history from its very beginnings, tracing its astonishing expansion through to its subsequent decline in the sixteenth century. h e authors’ analysis of its commercial growth, industrial production, socio- political changes and cultural creativity is grounded in an understanding of the city’s structure, its landscape and its built environment. More than just a biography of a city, this book places Bruges within a wider network of urban and rural development and its history in a comparative frame- work, thereby of ering new insights into the nature of a metropolis. Andrew Brown is Associate Professor at Massey University in New Zealand and a historian of late medieval religion and society. His books include Civic Ceremony and Religion in Medieval Bruges, c.1300– 1520 (Cambridge, 2010). Jan Dumolyn is a senior lecturer at Ghent University and historian of the political, social and cultural history of the medieval county of Flanders. He has published widely on late medieval popular politics. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-41965-9 — Medieval Bruges Edited by Andrew Brown , Jan Dumolyn Frontmatter More Information ii © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-41965-9 — Medieval Bruges Edited by Andrew Brown , Jan Dumolyn Frontmatter More Information iii Medieval Bruges, c.

  • Ghent University Library Becomes First to Contribute Books Scanned by Google to Europeana
    PRESS RELEASE Ghent University Library becomes first to contribute books scanned by Google to Europeana Europe’s flagship project for cultural heritage gains more than 30 million pages of new out-of- copyright material scanned by Google for Ghent University Library 27 September 2010 - Ghent University Library today became the first in Europe to contribute public domain works scanned by Google to Europeana, Europe’s culture heritage. Readers using Europeana can now enjoy more than 30 million newly-added pages of historical, scientific, anthropological and literary works, from over 100,000 volumes, spanning four centuries, in French, Dutch, German and other languages. Joke Schauvliege, Flemish Minister of Environment, Nature and Culture and chair of the European Council of Environment is pleased that the unique and large collection of Ghent University leads the way. "I hope that the addition of so many pages to the Europeana database will stimulate the use of this rich cultural heritage material," says Minister Schauvliege. "I applaud the collaboration between Ghent University and Europeana to make this material visible and free searchable." The Ghent University Library, one of Belgium’s largest scientific libraries, has long been an advocate for increased access to information and cultural heritage through digitization. In 2007 the library partnered with Google Books and started work to digitise more than 300,000 books from its out-of-copyright collection.

  • Abstracts Conference Urban Historiography
    Towards new thinking in urban historiography. Old texts, new approaches. A reconsideration of urban historical consciousness in Northwest Europe Interdisciplinary Conference, Groeningemuseum Bruges, 20-21 May 2015 ABSTRACTS (IN ALPABETHICAL ORDER) Peter Bakker (VU Amsterdam): Historiography of the urban society in the Northern Netherlands (during the 15 th -16 th century) The main focus of my PhD study are the Town chronicles of the town of Kampen. This is the first complete study on these chronicles. A nineteenth century transcription of the medieval manuscript exists, however it is incomplete and the transcriber randomly rearranged the order of the manuscript. Nowadays, these chronicles can be found in the municipal archive of the town Kampen by inventory number: Oud Archief 11 and 12. It is better known as De Annalibus quaedam nota and the incorrect name Liber Diversorum D . In the current study, the chronicles will be studied in a broad perspective. Today, there are only two town chronicles in the Northern Netherlands that we are aware of: the town chronicles of Kampen and the town chronicle of Den Bosch. Besides these, there are also chronicles in the Northern Netherlands with a clear urban link: chronicles written by citizens or monks with an urban relation. These chronicles will also be studied in comparison. In my lecture I will report on my theses and first conclusions on the town chronicles of Kampen. In order to understand the town clerks’ intentions behind writing a town chronicle, it is of great importance to study the relation between the daily work of the town secretaries and the town chronicles.
