  • Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªrobes of Honourº in India
    Folklore 112 (2001):23± 45 RESEARCH ARTICLE Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªRobes of Honourº in India Michelle Maskiell and Adrienne Mayor Abstract This article presents seven historical legends of death by Poison Dress that arose in early modern India. The tales revolve around fears of symbolic harm and real contamination aroused by the ancient Iranian-in¯ uenced customs of presenting robes of honour (khilats) to friends and enemies. From 1600 to the early twentieth century, Rajputs, Mughals, British, and other groups in India participated in the development of tales of deadly clothing. Many of the motifs and themes are analogous to Poison Dress legends found in the Bible, Greek myth and Arthurian legend, and to modern versions, but all seven tales display distinc- tively Indian characteristics. The historical settings reveal the cultural assump- tions of the various groups who performed poison khilat legends in India and display the ambiguities embedded in the khilat system for all who performed these tales. Introduction We have gathered seven ª Poison Dressº legends set in early modern India, which feature a poison khilat (Arabic, ª robe of honourº ). These ª Killer Khilatº tales share plots, themes and motifs with the ª Poison Dressº family of folklore, in which victims are killed by contaminated clothing. Because historical legends often crystallise around actual people and events, and re¯ ect contemporary anxieties and the moral dilemmas of the tellers and their audiences, these stories have much to tell historians as well as folklorists. The poison khilat tales are intriguing examples of how recurrent narrative patterns emerge under cultural pressure to reveal fault lines within a given society’s accepted values and social practices.

  • Daoist Priest's Robe C. 1850–1900 China
    This image card shows the back of a beautifully embroidered robe of the type worn by Daoist (DOW-ist) high priests when officiat- ing at religious rites and ceremonies.The robe is filled with images of auspicious symbols of the Daoist religion.Along the bottom edge, dragons frolic in ocean waves, chasing flaming pearls. On the sleeve borders, sets of three lines, known as trigrams, represent the changing forces of nature. Between them are emblems of Daoist Immortals, beings who attained immortality through their Daoist practice.These emblems include: a flower basket for a female immortal who became a fairy after eating a magical peach; a sword for a scholar who had supernatural powers over evil and sickness; musical clappers for the patron saint of theater; and a pair of gourds for a beggar who was able to make his spirit leave his body. Six large medallions in the center of the robe contain elaborately embroidered decorations of animals, plants, and celestial forma- Daoist Priest’s tions.A tower and three small palaces, home to Daoist gods, are Robe depicted in the top central circle.These decorative elements and the twenty-four multicolored dots represent the twenty-eight c. 1850–1900 Lunar Mansions (or constellations), where the moon rests as it journeys around the Earth each month.The moon (right) and China sun (left) can be seen just above the center circle. Inside the moon, (Qing Dynasty, 1644–1911) a rabbit mixes the elixir of immortality; the crow, another deity, lives in the sun.White cranes, like the ones flanking the tower, are closely associated with Daoist priests, who were said to ride the Embroidered silk satin tall birds to the heavens and speak with the gods.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Transactions of the Burgon Society by an authorized administrator of New Prairie Press. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Transactions of the Burgon Society, 5 (2005), pages 42–58 Layer upon Layer: The Evolution of Cassock, Gown, Habit and Hood as Academic Dress by Alex Kerr Writers on the history of academic dress sometimes mistake which medieval garments were the antecedents of those worn in modern times. This happens especially when they misinterpret the evidence from memorial brasses and other pictorial sources. The situation is complicated by the fact that several Latin terms are used for a single article of dress in early university and college regulations and one term may refer to quite different articles at different periods. Now, as then, it is common to use words for clothing in both a narrow and a broad sense: for example, in modern English we use ‘jacket’ and ‘coat’ with various meanings, some of them overlapping or interchangeable. Similarly, in writing about medieval dress ‘gown’ or ‘robe’ may be a very specific item distinct from ‘cassock’ or ‘habit’ at one point, but any long, loose garment at another.

  • Costume Plot
    Cloud the Musical 2016 - Costume plot Most of the cast have one primary costume and a finale costume, so no quick changes! As the dressing rooms are going to be very cosy with a cast of 40, this will be a blessing. There are some exceptions, eg the Sand Tribe men are recruited as Enforcers during the story, so have one extra costume to cover this. Hannah also has various costumes to cover her transition from space traveller to colonist. The following provide an outline, but much will depend on what we have in store and what the cast can offer from home. The finale costumes will all be made, as they need to be in the same material. Some cloaks and robes will probably also need to be created. Character Description Main costume Finale costume Leaders on Cloud Hannah Scientist from Earth. Age 35.

  • West African Textiles
    WEST AFRICAN TEXTILES BARROW HALL GALLERY March 4—April 3 9 a.m.—5 p.m. WEST AFRICAN TEXTILES Exhibit curated by José Blanco and Jennifer Regan with assistance from Dr. Patricia Hunt-Hurst, Raúl Vázquez -López, and students from TXMI 4580: World Textiles (Jessica Baker, Allie Bashuk, Lauren Fylstra, Sara Idacavage, Rachel Jack, Ashley Scruggs, Kim Stober, Danielle Walsh). Unknown maker Light teal and brown two piece female outfit, Burkina Faso Cotton, synthetic embroidery On loan from Dr. Karim Traore This female outfit represents the colorful and flamboyant prints of modern African fashion which contrast the hand woven designs of traditional African dress. It is interesting to note that the modern print of the ensemble is not a traditional African design and resembles the art deco style of the early twentieth century. The pattern is created by a wax-printing process that has been copied by the Europeans. Interestingly, English wax-printed fabrics have become prestigious items in Nigeria costing more than the local outputs of the region. The fabric is inscribed with the words “Guaranteed English Wax” therefore verifying the quality of the print. The second interesting feature of this ensemble is the colorfully embroidered collar around the neckline of the caftan that appears to be industrially made. The decorative elements of the ensemble indicate that it is probably intended for special occasions. Unknown maker Teal Kampala fabric with white and orange print, Nigeria Cotton brocade On loan from Dr. Akinloye Ojo This piece is similar to Kampala textiles created in Uganda. The material is likely a damask weave created with a synthetic fiber.

All rights reserved. This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States C ode Microform Edition © ProQuest LLC. ProQuest LLC. 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract One of the cornerstones of the Cambodian literary canon is the verse novel Turn Teav. There are numerous versions o f the story that cover all the major modes of creative expression in Cambodian culture. In addition to the literary and theatrical versions, the story also appears in different historical texts, as it is generally believed that the characters described in the story are based on actual people and events in Cambodian history. Despite Turn Teav's tremendous importance and popularity however, there are no studies that examine the extensive literary criticism on the text or the influence of the story in contemporary Cambodian culture and society. This work is an attempt to present an overview o f the literary criticism on Turn Teav and provide the reader with an insight into the viewpoints of contemporary Cambodian writers and intellectuals on the major themes in the story.
