  • George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)
    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893) Photographically innovative and entrepreneurial in business, Wilson was the most notable, successful and prolific stereo-photographer in Scotland and perhaps the entire UK. Having trained in Edinburgh as an artist, he worked as a miniature portrait painter and art teacher in Aberdeen from 1848. He started experimenting with photography in 1852, probably realising that it could potentially supplant his previous profession. In a short-lived partnership with Hay, he first exhibited stereoviews in 1853 at the Aberdeen Mechanics' Institution. A commission to photograph the construction of Balmoral Castle in 1854-55 led to a long royal association. His photos were used in the form of engravings for Queen Victoria's popular book “My Highland Journal”. His best-selling carte-de-visite of her on a pony held by Brown (judiciously cropped to remove other superfluous retainers) fuelled the gossip surrounding this relationship. His portrait studio in Aberdeen provided steady cashflow and in 1857, to promote his studio, he produced a print grouping together famous Aberdonians, one of the earliest ever examples of a photo-collage. He soon recognised that stereoviews were the key to prosperity and by 1863 had a catalogue of over 400 views from all across the UK, selling them in a wide variety of outlets including railway kiosks and inside cathedrals. His artistic training helped him compose picturesque and beautiful images, but he was also an innovative technician, experimenting on improving photographic techniques, chemistry and apparatus, working closely with camera and lens manufacturers. He was among the very first to publish “instantaneous” views, ranging from a bustling Princes Street, Edinburgh to a charming view of children paddling in the sea, both dating from 1859.

  • Leadership in State Genesis: Creative Vicediction, Guardianship, and the Crystallization of Sovereign Authority
    Leadership in State Genesis: Creative Vicediction, Guardianship, and the Crystallization of Sovereign Authority DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tahseen Kazi Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Eugene Holland, Advisor Sonja Amadae Philip Armstrong Mathew Coleman Luis Lobo-Guerrero Copyrighted by Tahseen Kazi 2014 Abstract The complicity of leadership in the genesis of sovereign authority is neglected in contemporary political thought to the detriment of our understanding of both of these concepts. Dissatisfied with contemporary reliance on notions such as sovereign decision which ultimately imply primal repression as the sole source of all authority, my research takes the genesis of sovereignty as a problem to be solved rather than as an unalterable, natural occurrence to be presumed. Drawing on such diverse resources as Foucault’s concept of parrhesia, Weber’s concept of charisma, anthropological and mythological accounts of authority, Simondon’s theory of the genesis of the individual as crystallization, and primarily on Deleuzian philosophy, I offer an account of the genesis of the sovereign state as the result of the conjugation of two modes of leadership: leadership by guardianship and leadership by creative vicediction. Whereas leadership by guardianship in the Platonic tradition makes claim to judgment on the authority of customary founding myths, thereby severely limiting leadership’s transformative potential, leadership by creative vicediction, a ii concept I develop, trespasses on such myths to critically engage with their representation of the present circumstance, and presubjectively and affectively guides others toward another way of being.

  • Fountains Abbey – a Comparison to Buckland Abbey
    Fountains Abbey – a Comparison to Buckland Abbey Fountains today - ruins Fountains Abbey beginnings The story of Fountains abbey begins in 1132. A group of 13 monks at a Benedictine Abbey nearby called St Mary’s were shocked at how the other monks in their abbey were behaving. They looked to start a new abbey in North Yorkshire with the support of the Archbishop of York’s help (one of the religious leaders in England). They set up an abbey in the valley of the River Skell, though their first winter was spent sheltering under an elm tree covering themselves with straw!! They nearly gave up but a Cistercian Abbot helped them financially and so they converted to become Cistercian monks like those at Buckland. The Abbey Laybrothers and monks more separated in abbey Initially, the monks constructed their first church of wood. Then it became replaced with a small stone building. But in around 1160 the great Abbey Church was built. Like The lay brothers and choir monks were in Buckland, masons used local stone. But in the north the local stone was sandstone separated more at Fountains Abbey than so it is made of a different material to Buckland Abbey which is constructed of grey Buckland – probably because Fountains stone. The Church was much bigger than that of Buckland, though it had the same abbey had more money to create cross shape and high alter in the eastern side. There were over 200 men living at separate building areas. For example, Fountains and so the nave where the laybrothers sat was very long.

  • Building Stonehenge? an Alternative Interpretation of Lipid Residues in Grooved Ware from Durrington Walls
    Building Stonehenge? An alternative interpretation of lipid residues in Grooved Ware from Durrington Walls Lisa-Marie Shillito Newcastle University School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE1 7RU Abstract Residues in Grooved Ware from Durrington Walls have been interpreted as the remains of large scale feasting associated with the construction of Stonehenge around 2500 BC. Whilst a function related to food consumption is possible, other explanations may be equally as plausible. An alternative interpretation not previously considered is that these residues could be related to a non-food use of animal resources, i.e. the production of tallow. This interpretation provides evidence supporting the ‘greased sled’ theory of how the megaliths were moved. Lipid residue analysis and pottery function The analysis of absorbed lipid residues is a well-established technique for determining the types of products processed in pottery. Research has focused largely on identification of animal fats, with analysis of plant residues focusing on those which have higher lipid contents i.e. waxy plants (Roffet- Salque et al. 2017). Usually a lipid concentration >5 µg g-1 is considered significant, with lower concentrations considered insufficient for interpretation of vessel use. There is a recognition that products such as beeswax in vessels can have multiple uses – as a sealant for example, as well as an illuminant (Roffet-Salque et al. 2017). A combination of beeswax and tallow has been identified as an illuminant in medieval contexts (Frith et al. 2004) and Mottram et al. (1999), identified pig ‘tallow’ in medieval ‘dripping dishes’ as a receptacle for fat collection during spit roasting.

Until recently, performance activities in smaller communities have received little or no attention, except perhaps as something of antiquarian interest. And one area of theatre history that has been largely overlooked is the involvement of monasteries in local performance activities. Yet the precious few, fragmentary, monastic records that survived the dissolutions of the monasteries under Henry VIII and Edward VI, suggest that several monasteries gave active financial support to local theatre in England before and during the early Tudor period.

  • Fountains Abbey
    Fountains Abbey From Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountains_Abbey (19.05.2008) Studley Royal Park including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey* UNESCO World Heritage Site View of Fountains Abbey looking from east to south. Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire, England, is a ruined Cistercian monastery, founded in 1132. Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved Cistercian houses in England. It is a Grade I listed building and owned by the National Trust. Along with the adjacent Studley Royal Water Garden, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. History Fountains Abbey was founded in 1132 following a dispute and riot at St. Mary's Abbey in York. Following the riot, thirteen monks were exiled and after unsuccessfully attempting to return to the early 6th century Rule of St Benedict, were taken into the protection of Thurstan, Archbishop of York. He provided them with a site in the valley of the River Skell. The enclosed valley had all the required materials for the creation of a monastery, providing shelter from the weather, stone and timber for building, and a running supply of water.[1]. The monks applied to join the Cistercian order in AD1132. The abbey operated until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The Abbey buildings and over 500 acres (2 km²) of land were then sold by the Crown, on October 1, 1540 [1], to Sir Richard Gresham, the London merchant, father of the founder of the Royal Exchange, Sir Thomas Gresham.[2] Architecture Interior looking down the Nave Construction of the Abbey began in 1132, with rock quarried locally, although the original monastery buildings received considerable additions and alterations in the later period of the order, causing deviations from the strict Cistercian type.
