    Malta SHORT Pierre Sammut ARTICLEST he Influence of the - Knights of the Order THINK of St. John on Malta CULTURE Due to its geographical position at the cross- roads of the Mediterranean, Malta has wit- nessed many different influences. In Ancient times, it attracted the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginian and the Romans, then other con- querors including the Arabs, Normans, Ara- gonese and the Crusaders, the French and the British. But one of the most fascinating pe- riods of Maltese history remains to this very day the period governed by the Knights Hos- pitaller, better known as the Order of St. John, who governed the islands from 1530 to the end of the 18th century, when the French un- der Commander Napoleon Bonaparte took over Malta. Prehistoric Temples and Majestic Palaces from different periods are unique landmarks. The Knights in particular left their marks on vario- us aspects of Maltese culture, in particular the language, buildings and literature. Their period is often referred to as Malta's Golden Age, as a result of the architectural and artistic embel- lishment and as a result of advances in the overall health, education and prosperity of the local population. Music, literature, theatre as well as visual arts all flourished in this period, which also saw the foundation and develop- ment of many of the Renaissance and Baro- que towns and villages, palaces and gardens, tomy and Surgery was established by Grand the most notable being the capital city, Valletta, Master Fra Nicolau Cotoner I d'Olesa at the one of several built and fortified by the Sacra Infermeria in Valletta, in 1676.

  • 'Stemming Vice a Proposal for Hospitaller
    Stemming Vice: A Proposal for Hospitaller Virtuous Living in Ancien Régime Malta Fig. 1 War games and the real thing: A rare contemporary manuscript map by Paolo Passionei showing the Christian naval victory at the battle of the Dardanelles on the 26th June 1656 over the Ottomans. The Order’s naval squadron is shown on the right, with its seven galleys carrying off eleven captured Muslim prizes. (Courtesy of the Biblioteca Angelica, Rome) Stemming Vice: A Proposal for Hospitaller Virtuous Living in Ancien Régime Malta 365 The regulation of the conduct of the various categories of members pertaining to the Hospitaller and Military Order of St John and residing in Malta constituted a major concern for much the entire period of that institution’s settlement on the Island. A more cosmopolitan society and greater interaction with the Maltese population following the Order’s transfer from Vittoriosa to Valletta in 1571 certainly contributed towards an accelerated transformation of its erstwhile convent mentality, reinforced through the practice of a segregated residence within a collachio.1 The ideal of the chaste warrior-monk - in so far as it proved to be the rule prior to the mid-sixteenth century - metamorphosed into one where military prowess was no longer balanced with an austere lifestyle, but increasingly with one where noble lineage, wealth and a resulting sense of self-confident superiority often made a mockery out of the prescribed vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Knights visited prostitutes, procured mistresses and in some occasions even ended up contracting clandestine marriages.2 Individual Grand Masters who attempted to stem the trend did so at their own peril, as the unprecedented events of 1581 and 1639 so clearly demonstrated.

  • Costume in Carnival: Social Performance, Rank and Status
    SCP 1 (1) pp. 77–96 Intellect Limited 2016 Studies in Costume & Performance Volume 1 Number 1 © 2016 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/scp.1.1.77_1 VICKI ANN CREMONA University of Malta Costume in carnival: Social performance, rank and status ABSTRACT KEYWORDS This article deals with the range and evolution of costume in organized and sponta- class neous carnivals in Malta during the British colonial period (1800–1964). It discusses status the performative qualities of carnival costume. The article also delves into the type power of connections that can be made between costume, social stratification and politi- colonial cal power in particular periods of Maltese colonial history. It shows how costume devised costume revealed social aspiration or recognition in certain contexts, while also providing a social aspiration means to play with identity and dissimulation in others. It examines how control and power were affirmed on a micrological level through choice of costume, espe- cially when the latter became subject to prohibition. In his book Distinction, Pierre Bourdieu (1996: 57) claims that ‘aesthetic stances adopted in matters like […] clothing […] are opportunities to experience or assert one’s position in social space, as a rank to be upheld or a distance to be kept’. Appearance constituted a strong distinguishing factor in social catego- rization in Malta in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and certainly up to the late Sixties, just after Malta had acquired independence from Britain. The quality, cut and detail of clothes worn by a certain category of the Maltese were revealing of social aspiration, recognition or affirmation of status, both by the higher ranks of British officers and Maltese genteel society, or those aspiring to be considered as such.

  • BOOK REVIEWS , Harrison Smith, Bri'tain in Malta
    BOOK REVIEWS , Harrison Smith, Bri'tain in Malta. 2v. Malta, Progress Press, 1953. The two volumes on Britain in Malta by last year's Fulbright Lecturer in History at the Royal University of Malta form a major contribution to the study of 19th Century Malta. Since the War there has been a growing awareness that the best way of filling in the gaps of Maltese History is! to specialise in one particular period or aspect. Archi­ tecture and Emigration, to mention two specialised topics, have engaged the attention of students whose publications will continue to be considered as standard works for many years to come. The study of 19th Century political and constitutional history bristles with difficulties and writers before Harrison Smith had only attempted to treat the subject sketchily in general works, such as Laferla in Briti.~h Malta (2v.). Professor Harrison Smith brought a trained mind to bear on the various aspects of this important subject, and his researches have added considerably to our knowledge of what so far has been the bet~ noire of Maltese historians. Both volumes were prepared as theses, and the presentation of the subject matter suffers from too many quotations and reproduction of lengthy extracts that make the book difficult to dig-est.' Volume I, which treats of "Constitutional Development of J~lalta in the Nineteenth Century", "was originally prepared as a dissertation in partial fulfil­ ment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Georg-etown University", while Volume II, dealing with Italian Influence on British Policy in Malta lS99-1903 was a "these presentee a la Faculte des Lettres de I'Univer­ sit.e de Fribourg (Suisse) pour obtenir Ie grade de docteur".
