Art, History, and Anachronic Interventions Since 1990 Art, History, and Anachronic Interventions Since 1990 This book examines contemporary artistic practices since 1990 that engage with, depict, and conceptualise history. Examining artworks by Kader Attia, Yael Bartana, Zarina Bhimji, Michael Blum, Matthew Buckingham, Tacita Dean, Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujica, Omer Fast, Andrea Geyer, Liam Gillick and Philippe Parreno, Hiwa K, Amar Kanwar, Bouchra Khalili, Deimantas Narkevičius, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Walid Raad, Dierk Schmidt, Erika Tan, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Art, History, and Anachronic Interventions since 1990 undertakes a thorough methodological reexamination of the contribution of art to history writing and to its theoretical foundations. The analytical instrument of anachrony comes to the fore as an experimental method, as will (para)fic- tion, counterfactual history, testimonies, ghosts and spectres of the past, utopia, and the “juridification” of history. Eva Kernbauer argues that contemporary art—developing its own conceptual approaches to temporality and to historical research—offers fruitful strategies for creating historical consciousness and perspectives for political agency. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, historiography, and contemporary art. Eva Kernbauer is Chair of Art History at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna.

Photo Alex Delfanne Studies in Art Historiography Series Editor: Richard Woodfield, University of Birmingham The aim of this series is to support and promote the study of the history and practice of art historical writing focusing on its institutional and conceptual foundations, from the past to the present day in all areas and all periods. Besides addressing the major innova- tors of the past it also encourages re-thinking ways in which the subject may be written in the future. It ignores the disciplinary boundaries imposed by the Anglophone expres- sion 'art history' and allows and encourages the full range of enquiry that encompasses the visual arts in its broadest sense as well as topics falling within archaeology, anthro- pology, ethnography and other specialist disciplines and approaches.

Binoy Singh & Th. Rojen Singh Ecology Section, Center of Advanced Study in Life Sciences, Manipur University, Imphal West - 795003, Manipur ABSTRACT Sacred groves are small patches of land area which cover a certain area of forest or woodland preserving unique flora and fauna and having a very rich biodiversity. They are generally associated with strict socio-cultural and religious practices and social taboos. These inherited social taboos help in the conservation of biodiversity in the sacred grove of Manipur. In each and every sacred groves there must be some plants which are strictly associated with the natural beliefs of the deities resided and protected the grove. Each species has its own uniqueness including the resting place of the deity resided, an indicator of disaster, saviour of the place etc. These plants are strictly restricted from being cutting any branches and even felling. Besides these, the other tree species growing in the sacred groves are also strictly prohibited from felling down. Therefore the totem trees of the sacred groves play a significant role in the conservation of plant species and maintenance of the biodiversity in the region.

  • Popular Beliefs and Superstitions in Meiteis
    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Modern Education (IJMRME) ISSN (Online): 2454 - 6119 (www.rdmodernresearch.org) Volume II, Issue I, 2016 POPULAR BELIEFS AND SUPERSTITIONS IN MEITEIS SOCIETY Khongbantabam Naobi Devi Research Scholar, Department of English, Ethiraj College for Women, Chennai, Tamilnadu Abstract: The Meiteis perform a number of social and traditional practices since olden days that are mostly based on beliefs, customs and superstitions. The reasons of some practices are inexplicable but some are beliefs have values in imparting some kind of discipline to the people in the form of utilization of agricultural products and other things. The beliefs and superstitions are strongly embedded in the minds of the Meiteis even the modern scientific education cannot succeed in dispelling those beliefs and superstitions. Nevertheless, the rapid urbanization and the continuous blows of modern education through radio, television, newspapers and electronic media are gradually breaking the very foundation of such beliefs and superstitions. Mostly in rural area, there is still environment for survival of such superstitious beliefs and beliefs. This paper is an attempt to bring out some of the beliefs and superstitions performed in the Meiteis society. For the convenience of the discussion, the issue can be discussed under heads, e.g. (a) Beliefs and (b) Superstitions. Introduction: The Meiteis perform a number of social and traditional practices since olden days that are mostly based on beliefs, customs and superstitions.

  • About the Leonore Annenberg Scholarship, Fellowship, and School Funds
    A Project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania About the Leonore Annenberg Scholarship, Fellowship, and School Funds The Leonore Annenberg Scholarship, Fellowship, and School Funds is a ten-year (2008-2018), three-pronged initiative, designed and administered by a three-person staff at the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The Leonore Annenberg College Scholarship Fund provides four-year, all-expense awards to successful high school juniors who have faced serious challenges. The Leonore Annenberg Fellowship Fund for the Performing and Visual Arts offers strategic support for talented young artists who are poised to become cultural leaders of the next generation. The Leonore Annenberg School Fund for Children makes high-impact resources available to underserved public elementary schools. Members of the program staff work closely with long-time partner organizations focused on school reform, and with major U.S.- based arts organizations and institutions, to identify exceptional candidates for these awards. All grants are made on an invitation- only basis and approved by a four-member Selection Council. ******************************************************** Leonore Annenberg served as U.S. Chief of Protocol, a position that carries the rank of ambassador, during the first term of the administration of Ronald Reagan.

  • Presidential Handwriting File, 1981-1989
    PRESIDENTIAL HANDWRITING FILE: PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS: 1981-1989 – REAGAN LIBRARY COLLECTIONS This collection is available in whole for research use. Some folders may still have withdrawn material due to Freedom of Information Act restrictions. Most frequent withdrawn material is national security classified material, personal privacy, protection of the President, etc. PRESIDENTIAL HANDWRITING FILE: PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS: 1981-1989 The Presidential Handwriting File is an artificial collection created by the White House Office of Records Management (WHORM). The Presidential Handwriting File consists of a variety of documents that Ronald Reagan either annotated, edited, or wrote in his own hand. When documents containing the president's handwriting were received at WHORM for filing, the original was placed in the Presidential Handwriting File and arranged by the order received. A photocopy of the document was placed in the appropriate category of the WHORM: Subject File. The first page of the casefile was stamped Handwriting File, indicating the location of the original documents. However, WHORM often failed to indicate on the original documents the original location (i.e. the six digit tracking number, Subject Category Code). The Presidential Handwriting File, as created by the White House, did not contain handwriting found in staff and office files. The Library will be creating a further series of handwriting material from staff and office files. In order to provide better access to the Presidential Handwriting File, the collection has been arranged into six series. Each series is arranged chronologically by the date of the document. Each document has been marked with the appropriate WHORM: Subject File category and a six digit tracking number.

  • The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat
    179 The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat By: ZVI RON The notes of R. Moshe Isserles supplement the Shulhaṇ Arukh by bringing the rulings and customs of Ashkenazi authorities. Scattered throughout his comments are references to various folkloric practices. These include the idea that placing the keys of the synagogue under a sick person’s head will cause them to pass away (Yoreh De‘ah 339:1),1 that blessing two grooms at once can bring on the evil eye (Even Haezer 62:3),2 and that a person can tell if they will survive the upcoming year by checking their shadow in the moonlight on Hoshana Rabbah (Orakh Hayyiṃ 664:1).3 In this article we will trace the origin of one such custom which is virtually forgotten today. R. Judah ha-Hasiḍ of Regensberg (1140–1217), a leading figure among the German Pietists (Hasideị Ashkenaz), is named as the source of an unusual Ashkenazi custom regarding the slaughter of geese. R. Moshe Isserles in his commentary to the Tur (Darkei Moshe, Yoreh De‘ah 11:2) notes that he found in the name of R. Judah ha-Hassiḍ that some slaugh- terers are careful not to slaughter geese during the month of Shevat. This is based on a tradition that whoever slaughters a goose during a particular hour in this month would die within the year. Since the precise hour is not known, slaughtering geese is avoided during the entire month. This is the reason people are careful not to eat geese during Shevat, lest they come to slaughter a goose during the dangerous hour.

This concert comprises works from the period for chorus, soprano, violin, piano and organ. Many compositions will be entirely new to listeners, but they captivate the ear upon first hearing. Pablo Casals is renowned as a cellist, but he also wrote haunting, deeply spiritual choral music. Virtually unknown today, Enric Morera, Manuel Blancafort, and Manuel Oltra composed exceptional works for chorus. De Falla’s El Amor Brujo for piano contrasts with Granados's works for violin, songs and an aria from Goyescas. Granados’s long-lost Cant de les estrelles, written in 1911 for three choirs, piano and organ, will be performed in New York for only the second time. VoA received a GRAMMY-nomination for the 2007 New York Premiere live concert recording with pianist Douglas Riva: Song of the Stars.
