The Pseudo-Kufic Ornament and the Problem of Cross-Cultural Relationships Between Byzantium and Islam
The pseudo-kufic ornament and the problem of cross-cultural relationships between Byzantium and Islam Silvia Pedone – Valentina Cantone The aim of the paper is to analyze pseudo-kufic ornament Dealing with a much debated topic, not only in recent in Byzantine art and the reception of the topic in Byzantine times, as that concerning the role and diffusion of orna- Studies. The pseudo-kufic ornamental motifs seem to ment within Byzantine art, one has often the impression occupy a middle position between the purely formal that virtually nothing new is possible to add so that you abstractness and freedom of arabesque and the purely have to repeat positions, if only involuntarily, by now well symbolic form of a semantic and referential mean, borrowed established. This notwithstanding, such a topic incessantly from an alien language, moreover. This double nature (that gives rise to questions and problems fueling the discussion is also a double negation) makes of pseudo-kufic decoration of historical and theoretical issues: a debate that has been a very interesting liminal object, an object of “transition”, going on for longer than two centuries. This situation is as it were, at the crossroad of different domains.

Interactive Novel, Forever a Work in Progress, Contributions Welcome
Interactive novel, forever a work in progress, Contributions welcome To My Daughter I have learned after 50 years of bumping into various objects, Some of them painfully sharp, That in this huge dark dark room, there is a light switch. Our often humbling efforts to search for it Will encourage others to do the same And we will find it. Love Dad Election Platform Ontario Good News: Scientists at Harvard Medical School have discovered a molecule NAD+ that repairs damaged DNA and reverses a substantial factor in the aging process. Mice with Alzheimer's had their brains grow back; gray hairs turned black; their cells looked young again. Other universities have developed a similar but different methods to reverse aging. Like the development of computer science from 1885 to date, the knowledge about how cells grow old, and about repairing damage in the cells is growing exponentially. Soon to flower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O6bh8OpL70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e83pGX7BVBk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ14Lb4MfJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvIaR5WBKrQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32vfZ-6jmQg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT3arHEflsY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcIDKUiUsPk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YBbx6Lzzg8 Proposal: The Ontario government hires IBM’s Watson or a similar size computer with similar software.

Their techniques differed according to their circumstances and needs of the time, but they all tried to re-create the true bonds of relationship between the believer and the Supreme Being. It has to be borne in mind, in this context, that by the middle of the eighth century the centre1 of Islamic religious and intellectual activities had shifted itself to India where a power ful Muslim power had been firmly established. Simultaneously, the ravages of the Mongols had destroyed all traces of culture and civilization from Turkistan and Persia, in the east, to Syria and borders of Egypt, in the west, and extinquished the lamp of Abbasid Caliphate for ever. For several hundred years to come, India had to assume the educational and intellectual and and religious and spiritual leadership of the world of Islam. A historian has thus inevitably to turn his attention to this new centre of Islam. It is for this reason that a portion of this volume and one or two subsequent volumes, whenever they are written, would have to be devoted to the revivalist movement in this country. The reader will find in this volume a new religious dimension of Islam revealed by Makhdum Sheikh Sharaf ud-dln Yahya Maneri. -

Willkommen Glauben Sie mir, die Leitung des DOK.fest München ist eine Aufgabe, die mir große Freude macht, weil ich durch die vielen Dokumentarfilme Einblicke in Lebenswelten bekomme, die ich persönlich wohl nie machen könnte. An- dererseits werde ich Jahr für Jahr auch mit viel Elend konfrontiert. Auch in diesem Jahr, dem Jahr eins nach Fukushima, gab es zahllose Ereignisse, die in einem Dokumentarfilm verarbeitet wurden. Für mich ist dabei eines „Nichts bedarf so sehr der Reform, entscheidend: Schafft es der Autor oder die Autorin, mich nicht nur zu infor- wie die Gewohnheiten der Menschen“ mieren, sondern entlässt mich der Film zurück in meine Wirklichkeit mit (Mark Twain) einer emotional gereiften Erkenntnis? Der sogenannte Arabische Frühling, der schon jetzt von einem stürmischen Herbst abgelöst wurde (um im Sprachgebrauch der Medien zu bleiben), steht dieses Jahr im Zentrum der Reihe DOK.guest. Die eingeladen Filme aus verschiedenen arabischen Ländern präsentieren dem Publikum tiefer gehende Einblicke in die Umbrüche dieser Region und ihre Entwick- lung, deren Ende noch nicht abzusehen ist. -
In the Name of Allah Introduction
In the name of Allah Introduction The expansion, and all forms of developments in various aspects of cultural activities, have a transactional relationship with culture oriented industries, and technological advancements. In modern times, different cultures are heading towards homogeny, whence, the role of cultural industries has become more pronounced. The essence of intercultural relations is based on the axis of cultural industries, the most important element of which is publication; an industry that is always and everywhere readily available, and is the most effective form of delivering a message. The efficient utilization of this tool in cultural relations, between the people and governments, can have progressive, and constructive results, whereas, the improper use of it will result in destruction, delusion, and misunderstanding. The role of translation in cultural interactions does not go unnoticed by authorities. The concept of translation, in relevance to cultural interactions, must be viewed as inclusive of cultural activities, and the effects of pri- 2 vate institutions, and organizations that present new angles and avenues. Thus, cultural local- ization, in the globalization process, can be better understood, and we can recognize why the more culturally localized works are also more global. It has, even, been proven through experi- ence, that, the works of many authors, have become globally renowned, because they had been culturally localized. The project to support the translation of Persian works to other languages, also known as TOP (Translation of Persia), with the objective of outsourcing the task of trans- lation and publication to other countries, has been a progressive step towards breaking free of the formalities of international publication, vis-à-vis the selection of books by this charter, and the starting point in evaluating Persian works of Iran, which will, hopefully, proceed towards perfection. -

One case in particular concerns the epigraphic characters of Islamic derivation which abound in many media and, specifically, in architectural decoration: in other words, stone, stucco, mosaic, painting and so on. But, if the Byzantine mediation is evident, it is very important to observe that the labour is always local.2 We will look at six churches. They do not constitute a «catalogue», but offer a good «sample» of pseudo-kufic of the 13th century.3 First of all, I wish to present the map of the six churches with frescoes (Fig. 1). Four of them are in Apulia: Gravina (province of Bari), Massafra (province of Taranto), Squinzano (on the road between Lecce and Brindisi) and Otranto (both provinces of Lecce). The other two are in the present-day Lucania (or Basilicata): Matera and the former town of Anglona, near Tursi (province of Matera).4 Furthermore, I wish to specify that three of them (those in Massafra, Gravina and Matera) are rock- churches, small chapels hewn out of the rock, without doors.5Before starting the description of the frescoes and, in particular, of their epigraphic cycles, I wish to say few words about the choise of the expression «pseudo- kufic». -

Box 2, Safat 13001, Kuwait ABSTRACT The tropical waters of the Northern Arabian Gulf have a long history of maritime resource richness. High levels of biodiversity result from the complex matrix of coastal habitats, coral reefs and sea grass beds that characterise the region. Insight into the ongoing health of such habitats and the broader Kuwait maritime environment can be gauged by the status of indicator species found within these habitats. Here we review information on the occurrence, distribution and threats to key marine habitats and associated indicator species to provide an updated assessment of the state of the Kuwait’s marine biodiversity. Critical evaluation of historic data highlights knowledge gaps needed inform the focus of future monitoring and conservation efforts. This assessment is designed to evaluate performance against environmental policy commitments, while providing a solid foundation for the design of comprehensive marine ecosystem management strategies.
