COTTON MATHER’S WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD: AN AUTHORITATIVE EDITION by PAUL M. WISE Under the direction of Reiner Smolinski ABSTRACT In Wonders of the Invisible World, Cotton Mather applies both his views on witchcraft and his millennial calculations to events at Salem in 1692. Although this infamous treatise served as the official chronicle and apologia of the 1692 witch trials, and excerpts from Wonders of the Invisible World are widely anthologized, no annotated critical edition of the entire work has appeared since the nineteenth century. This present edition seeks to remedy this lacuna in modern scholarship, presenting Mather’s seventeenth-century text next to an integrated theory of the natural causes of the Salem witch panic. The likely causes of Salem’s bewitchment, viewed alongside Mather’s implausible explanations, expose his disingenuousness in writing about Salem. Chapter one of my introduction posits the probability that a group of conspirators, led by the Rev.

  • Curiosities of Glassmaking‖ Presents an Array of Unusual Objects Made of Glass That Date from Antiquity to the Present Day
    The result of months of digging into the Museum’s vast collections, ―Curiosities of Glassmaking‖ presents an array of unusual objects made of glass that date from antiquity to the present day. Sometimes peculiar, often mysterious, and generally inspired, the selections are arranged in categories and by types in a manner that is purposefully inconsistent with displays elsewhere in the Museum. Instead of documenting the chronological development of glass over the centuries, this exhibition mixes different periods, as well as various types and functions of glass. Ancient and contemporary glass may be united by a shared theme and glasses that are unrelated to each other may be shown together in a new context. Visitors are invited to observe the many unique properties of glass, such as how it is formed in nature, how it mimics other materials, how it may be used to deflect evil, how it serves medical and scientific and household purposes, and how it may portray the natural world. The title of the exhibition refers to a popular 19th-century manual, Curiosities of Glass Making. Published in London in 1849 by the well- known glassmaker Apsley Pellatt, it revealed many secrets of ancient and modern glassmaking to an enthusiastic public. Although glass has been employed for everyday things throughout most of its history, it has also always been recognized as possessing arcane aspects. Medieval and Renaissance encyclopedias—such as the 13th- century De Proprietatibus Rerum (On the properties of things) by Bartholomaeus Anglicus or Giambattista della Porta’s Magiae Naturalis (Natural magic), first published in 1558—recorded many special uses for glass, such as clearing eyes and kidneys, smoothing skin, counterfeiting gemstones, creating artificial fire, and effecting the spontaneous generation of animals.

Zenodo, June 23, 2018 Chinese and European Ivory Puzzle Balls Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Politecnico di Torino, Italy Abstract: This article discusses some objects made of ivory, consisting of nested spheres which can rotate freely inside each other. These objects are known as the “Chinese puzzle balls” and became quite popular in Europe during the 19th century. The methods used by the artists to create them in the carved ivory can be considered as the real "puzzle" of the balls. Actually, Europe had its production of puzzle balls too. During the 16th and 17th centuries, “contrefait balls”, or “contrefait Kugeln”, were carved in ivory with the geometry of a sphere or of a Platonic solid, frequently of a dodecahedron. They were items for the Cabinets of Curiosities, the rooms of wonder that had their roots in the culture of the Renaissance Courts.

  • Relating Fukaya Categories Using Combinatorics, Operads, and Nonlinear Elliptic Pdes Nathaniel Bottman
    Research statement: Relating Fukaya categories using combinatorics, operads, and nonlinear elliptic PDEs Nathaniel Bottman 1 Introduction I work in the field of symplectic geometry, which is concerned with 2n-dimensional manifolds M equipped with an area measure !, and with the n-dimensional submanifolds on which ! vanishes, called Lagrangians. Symplectic geometry originated with classical mechanics: the phase space of a Hamiltonian system is a symplectic manifold, and if there exist n independent commuting conserved quantities, then the level sets are Lagrangians. Many symplectic concepts can be formulated as Lagrangians: for instance, a smooth map ':(M; !M ) ! (N; !N ) intertwines the symplectic structures if and only if its graph Γ' is La- grangian. This led Alan Weinstein to declare [Wei] that Everything is a Lagrangian submanifold! In the same article, Weinstein defined the symplectic \category", whose objects are symplectic manifolds, where the morphisms from M to N are the Lagrangians in M − ×N. During the 30 years hence, it has transpired that Lagrangians connect symplectic geometry with algebraic geometry and low-dimensional topology. On the other hand, symplectic geometry has been revolutionized by the use of pseudoholomor- phic curves, beginning with Floer and Gromov's seminal work [Fl, Gr] leading to the Floer co- ∗ homology HF (L1;L2), which is an enhanced intersection theory of the Lagrangians L1;L2 ⊂ M. One major success is the construction of the Fukaya (A1)-category Fuk(M) [FuOhOhOn, Se2], which is an invariant of the symplectic manifold M that encodes the Lagrangians and the Floer co- homology groups. The Fukaya category has been a major focus of study over the past two decades, in particular because of the homological mirror symmetry conjecture, a deep connection be- tween symplectic and algebraic geometry which was initiated by Kontsevich [Ko] and refined by many other since.

Beginning with the modernist lyrics of H.D. and Marianne Moore and extending to the contemporary poetry of Natasha Tretheway, Sharon Dolin, Siri Hustvedt, Mark Doty, and Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, I argue that the voice, form, and content of the ekphrastic lyric is a productive site for understanding the poetics of aesthetic politics. Dominant theories of ekphrasis such as the rivalry between the sister arts and models of confrontation between poet and painter foreclose on the possibilities of the mode as a political space in which the differences between word and image allow poets to engage in new ways with the solitary, embodied, and viewing lyric voice. While feminist and conceptual poetics have privileged the fragmented, multi-vocal poem as the most political form for negotiating subjectivity, my focus on more humanist lyrics engaging fixed forms and lyric selves illuminates an aesthetic for the 21st century in which modern problems connecting vision and identity such as the gaze, the loss of aura, the uncanny double, and viewer passivity, become transformed into opportunities for rethinking subjectivity and desire.
