Collecting in the South & LYTHBERG (EDS) (EDS) LYTHBERG & DOUGLAS, VEYS collecting in the south sea collecting in the south sea The Voyage of Bruni d’Entrecasteaux 1791-1794 This book is a study of ‘collecting’ undertaken by Joseph Antoine Bruni d’Entrecasteaux and his shipmates in Tasmania, the western Pacific Islands, and Indonesia. In 1791–1794 Bruni d’Entrecasteaux the south sea led a French naval expedition in search of the lost vessels of La in collecting Pérouse which had last been seen by Europeans at Botany Bay in March 1788. After Bruni d’Entrecasteaux died near the end of the voyage and the expedition collapsed in political disarray in Java, its collections and records were subsequently scattered or lost. The book’s core is a richly illustrated examination, analysis, and catalogue of a large array of ethnographic objects collected during the voyage, later dispersed, and recently identified in museums in France, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States. The focus on artefacts is informed by a broad conception of 1791-1794 d’Entrecasteaux Bruni of Voyage The collecting as grounded in encounters or exchanges with Indigenous protagonists and also as materialized in other genres—written accounts, vocabularies, and visual representations (drawings, engravings, and maps). Historically, the book outlines the antecedents, occurrences, and aftermath of the voyage, including its location within the classic era of European scientific voyaging (1766–1840) and within contemporary colonial networks. Particular chapters trace the ambiguous histories of the extant collections. Ethnographically, contributors are alert to local settings, relationships, practices, and values; to Indigenous uses and significance of objects; to the reciprocal, dialogic nature of collecting; to local agency or innovation in exchanges; and to present implications of objects and their histories, especially for modern scholars and artists, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

While consulting the museum archives, Van Duuren found correspondence with the French historian Hélène Richard in 1977 indicating that the objects had been collected during the Pacific expedition of Bruni d’Entrecasteaux. This revelation prompted us to investigate in detail the provenance of the objects. They turned out to have left such a rich paper trail that we were able to reconstruct their collection history almost from the moment the expedition was stranded on Java in 1794 to the moment they were incorporated into the Tropenmuseum.1 A well-documented history The paper trail starts in early 1797, with correspondence between François van Boekholtz and Sebastiaan Cornelis Nederburgh. The former had been Governor of Banda for the Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (Dutch East India Company, henceforth VOC) but had fallen into disgrace the previous year for surrendering Fort Nassau, one of the main VOC fortifications in the Dutch East Indies, to the British without so much as a struggle. Relieved of his duties, he was now living in Semarang (Java) and was desperately trying to ward off judicial prosecution. To this end, he sought the favour of S.C. Nederburgh, commissioner-general of the VOC and at the time de facto the most powerful man in Java. Van Boekholtz wrote several letters to Nederburgh. In one, he evidently pointed out the existence of thirteen ‘rarities from islands in the Pacific’ and offered his services as a broker in helping Nederburgh obtain them from their current owner. Unfortunately, this particular letter is the only one missing from an otherwise impeccable archive—apparently because it was later used to prove the authenticity of the objects and was lost in the process (see below). Its existence is known because of subsequent correspondence—Nederburgh’s positive reply of 23 January;2 later correspondence about the logistics of getting the objects from Semarang, where Van Boekholtz had brought them, to Batavia, where Nederburgh was 149 Collecting in the South Sea stationed;3 and the correspondence in which the letter is presented as proof of the origin of the objects.4 The original letter might have added to an already rich paper trail by providing more information about the owner of the objects at the time and the way in which he had come to possess them after the collapse of Bruni d’Entrecasteaux’s expedition a good two years earlier. During more than a year spent in Java between the end of the expedition and his departure for Europe, the naturalist La Billardière had found it necessary to sell some of the objects collected during the voyage. Moreover, parts of the collection simply had to be left behind as there was not enough room on the VOC return fleet that took the bulk of the crews and their belongings from Batavia on 5 December 1794.5 Various objects from the expedition now held in Dutch museums found their way to Europe in the luggage of high-ranking VOC officials.

PETERMAN-10 (DO NOT DELETE) 7/2/2014 5:25 PM SECOND AMENDMENT DECISION RULES, NON-LETHAL WEAPONS, AND SELF- DEFENSE General public debate about the Second Amendment has focused almost exclusively on the regulation of firearms. After Heller and McDonald, the scope of the Second Amendment’s protection has been hotly contested. One area of the Second Amendment that has been less discussed is the decisional rules that would govern non-firearms and levels of protection based on location. This Comment proposes two Second Amendment Constitutional decisional rules. Broadly, this Comment suggests that the “common use” test for “arms” should be modified for the development of new arms, such as non-lethal weapons, that are subject to the Second Amendment. The proposed “common use for the self-defense purpose” test attempts to add more precision by tying the weapon to the individual right to self-defense.

Well, today's guest not only has family lineage through Irish martial arts but also something that most of us would consider more contemporary, more conventional in that Kung Fu. So, we not only get to talk about each of those arts but the contrasts, the similarities between the two, and the wonderful story that unfolds as Sifu Doyle talks about his life and his navigation through both of those arts and what it meant to him and his family.

It calls for an exploration of the way in which these have often been uncritically accepted solely on the basis of notes and comments made by the original collectors. The difficulty is that the authority with which collectors were able to speak varied enormously, and even when the collectors obtained objects personally from the original owners, it cannot be assumed that they understood clearly the names, purposes or provenance of the objects they obtained.

  • Have You Ever Asked Yourself the Hard Question: Will I Be Prepared to Defen
    Have you ever asked yourself the hard question: will I be prepared to defend myself in the event I am ever physically attacked? It’s a situation that no one likes to think about, but should not be a situation that is ignored in preparing for. You can take basic steps to prevent and/or deter a physical attack: walking in well-lit areas at night, not walking alone, utilizing UTSAPD’s Safety Escort program, or even downloading a safety app on your smartphone. Even if you try to do everything to remove the opportunity for a physical attack, it can still occur and that’s where self-defense training comes into play. Any self-defense class worth its weight will undoubtedly teach defense basics and principles that are simple enough to remember and practice easily, while still being effective if ever needed. Anyone who has trained in any kind of physical defensive tactics/maneuvers (whether self-defense, martial arts, or hand-to-hand combat) will tell you that you must train regularly if you expect your training to be fully effective. UTSA students have had many options available to them for self-defense over the years, including a class put on by the police department. We are happy to announce that the police department has partnered with the UTSA Club Jiu- Jitsu to offer a new Self-Defense Seminar. This training seminar will teach the participants basic self- defense skills needed to help survive and get out of a physical attack. The training is open to all students, faculty, and staff (essentially anyone affiliated with UTSA) and will be held at the UTSA Recreation Center – Mac Gym on November 9 from 6-8PM.

How far I have succeeded in what I have sought to do it will be for the readers of these pages to jndge; but I may perhaps be permitted to say that the book which I now venture to offer to the public is the result of experience in the use of arms extending over an unusually long period, and that before I began to teach, some twenty years ago, I was so fortunate as to be trained by teachers of the highest skill.
