(Art was the first visual communication tool, t but it was apt at transferring emotions, not information. Art was an analogical, not digital tool: it was i inaccurate for transferring accurate univocal information). nIf you accept my definition of writing, you shall agree that the message written on the arm of the most gancient known Venus, on the right, is the oldest evidence of writing of the Humanity. The most important further step of visual communication was the Pannonico invention of the phonetic alphabet. The future greatest achievement of Humanity, related to writing, shall be the standardization of a European common alphabet with biunivocal correspondence between phonemes and signs, if the linguists shall ever accept it. This would allow to replace the English logographic script with a real universal script. This shall possibly prevent our grandsons from being obliged to write Chinese pictograms in the near future.

The dark Greek Middle Age and the end of the Aegean civilization were the consequence of that war. Europe must be grateful to the Trojans for their sacrifice, that later on allowed the Greco-Pannonico Athenians to be able to keep under control the Indo-European Spartans and to bring Europe back to democracy and freedom (see the chapter “Holmgard and the origins of democracy” in the book “Honfoglalás...”. Why the Hungarians did not build as monumental pyramids as the Egyptian ones? Because the Hungarian society was egalitarian: there were no emperors or pharaohs to want them and no slaves to build them!

Altai Yueh Chih, Shaanxi, CN The foot of the cauldron, sometime quite heavy, could have been rather a heat reserve. The Chinese and Japanese still use candles under some dishes in order to keep them hot. Some of the cauldrons appear to have been made on purpose, in order to be buried with the dead. Hundreds of other bronze 0 cauldrons similar to the 1 ones of Aržan↑ have been 1 found, from Hungary to D Korea, dated from –620 i to the 14th c. AD. r The Greek craters were n terracotta copies, k beautiful, but unpractical Sumer Vix and fragile. Hun Hun RThe Hsiung Nu asked the Hungarians, who made the cauldrons for them, to modify the design of the handles so to become angular (as i it happened with the Chinese, Celtic, and Greek keys), to add 2 “mushrooms” (in order to comply with the sacredness of their number t 5), but forgot to ask to modify the number of decorative lines from 3 to 5. The Hungarian engineers (always bad tricky people, the e engineers!) decided to undersize the 2 additional “mushrooms”... so that most of them got soon lost, even being the most protected! (The undersizing was made at the design stage, not at production stage, because bronze, unless it was a poor alloy, could not be welded until recent time). Instead, the monumental 6th century bronze cauldron found in the grave of Vix, France, was made by Greeks for a blond Pannonico “princess”, who was buried, not incinerated, alone, with her cart and horse harnesses. She accepted the Indo-European design of the cauldron and had to make do with the spiral motif of the handles and a Pannonico crown of spirals, instead of a Greek key. → The cauldron is 1.21 meter high and weighs 209 kgs., capacity: 1,100 litres, dating: 530 B.C. Bronze cauldrons were made by the Greeks in the 6th century B.C., before complete Indo-Europeanization of the local population, and many were votive offerings for the Olympia temple. At that time, the Olympia temple was the temple of Hera, the Mother Goddess. Later on, the Greeks replaced the Pannonico ritual bronze cauldrons with terracotta made craters and they erected in Olimpia a temple dedicated to Zeus, the Father Boss. Indo-Europeanization had been completed, with the conversion to patriarchalism. 3 lineee che pendono da collo di terracotta M Spirals and tulips on 0 o Golden Horde Calyces. 1 n Mother Isten, encircled by 2 g a heart, delivering a Baby o Isten, on the cyan l microcauldron!.

    CULTURAL TRADITIONS IN CHINA PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Lynn Peppas | 32 pages | 01 Mar 2012 | Crabtree Publishing Co,Canada | 9780778775911 | English | New York, Canada China - Language, Culture, Customs and Etiquette The family head was generally the senior male, but if a man died before his sons were grown, his widow would serve as family head until they were of age. The law codes of the imperial period enforced monogamy and provided a variety of punishments for bigamy and for promoting a concubine to the status of wife. Men could divorce their wives on any of seven grounds, which included barrenness, jealousy, and talkativeness, but could do so only if there was a family for her to return to. There were no grounds on which a woman could divorce her husband, but divorce by mutual agreement was possible. Much was written in Han times on the virtues women should cultivate. It also contained cautionary tales about scheming, jealous, and manipulative women who brought destruction to all around them. Another very influential book was written by Ban Zhao, a well-educated woman from a prominent family. Her Admonitions for Women urged girls to master the seven virtues appropriate to women: humility, resignation, subservience, self-abasement, obedience, cleanliness, and industry. By the end of the Han period, the Confucian vocabulary for talking about women, their natures, their weaknesses, and their proper roles and virtues was largely established. The durability of these ways of thinking undoubtedly owes much to continuities in the family system, which from Han times on was patrilineal, patrilocal, and patriarchical, and allowed concubinage.

  • Interpretation/Translation/Quotation? Contemporary Architects' Interventions Into Multicultural Australia
    QUOTATION: What does history have in store for architecture today? Interpretation/Translation/Quotation? Contemporary Architects’ Interventions into Multicultural Australia David Beynon Deakin University Ian Woodcock RMIT University Abstract Over the last forty years, Australian cultural identity has moved from being framed as loss - the tyranny of distance between an immigrant population and their mainly British origins - to one of surplus: an overabundance of identities of a hybridising/glocalising populace of diverse origins. Australia’s resultant landscapes comprise increasingly complex overlays of cultures and practices, particularly in the larger cities, where a diverse range of communities have created buildings and built environments. Even if facilitated in a pragmatic sense by architects, draftspeople and constructors, Australia’s growing number of ethnically-specific buildings continues to exist largely detached from the nation’s architectural profession, rarely being evident within its publications or awards systems. Within this context, the paper discusses two of the few instances where architects of note have designed works specific to multicultural Melbourne: Gregory Burgess’ Victoria Street Gateway in Richmond Victoria and Hassell’s Afghan Bazaar Cultural Precinct in Dandenong Victoria. In considering these projects, we focus on three of the many questions these projects raise about Melbourne’s (and more broadly Australia’s) architectural identity and the boundaries they blur between architectural and extra-architectural

  • Palatial Symbolism in the Buddhist Architecture of Early Medieval China
    Front. Hist. China 2015, 10(2): 222–263 DOI 10.3868/s020-004-015-0014-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Tracy Miller Of Palaces and Pagodas: Palatial Symbolism in the Buddhist Architecture of Early Medieval China Abstract This paper is an inquiry into possible motivations for representing timber-frame architecture in the Buddhist context. By comparing the architectural language of early Buddhist narrative panels and cave temples rendered in stone, I suggest that architectural representation was employed in both masonry and timber to create symbolically charged worship spaces. The replication and multiplication of palace forms on cave walls, in “pagodas” (futu 浮圖, fotu 佛圖, or ta 塔), and as the crowning element of free-standing pillars reflect a common desire to express and harness divine power, a desire that resulted in a wide variety of mountainous monuments in China. Finally, I provide evidence to suggest that the towering Buddhist monuments of early medieval China are linked morphologically and symbolically to the towering temples of South Asia through the use of both palace forms and sacred ma alas as a means to express the divine power and expansive presence of the Buddha. Keywords Pagoda, ta, mandala, Sumeru, Yicihui pillar, Yongningsi, Songyuesi From South to East Asia, from narrative relief panels to surface decoration both in caves and freestanding worship spaces, Buddhist sites are replete with depictions of timber buildings. Narrative reliefs not only allow us to read the story of the life of the Buddha, they also provide a window into the visual language of the region in which the panels were produced.

  • Art and Architecture Final.Pdf
    Centre for Historical Studies Aspects of Indian Art and Architecture M21409 Optional lecture course 4 credits This course is meant as a general survey course for students specializing in ancient Indian history and covers the entire Indian sub-continent over a long time period from c. 3rd century BCE to c. 1300 CE. Developments across regions will be focused upon thematically, in terms of the historical contexts identified through an understanding of the social formations current at that point of time. Issues related to the theoretical, social and cultural dimensions of the production of art and architecture in early historical and early medieval India will be explored. At the same time, there will be a discussion around particular sites and monuments, through an examination of the differences in form and style across regions, within and beyond a time period. Theme One: What constitutes art and how do we define it? Do art and architecture perform functions and have a role to play in society? Are contemporary notions of art being transposed to the past? Issues related to beauty, functionality, spirituality and aesthetics will be taken up for discussion through the writings of Kant, Hegel, Plekhanov, Berger, Wolff and Bourdieu. Benjamin’s fundamental argument about the art object in the age of technological reproduction, and Foucault’s examination of space from the outside rather than within monuments provide new interpretations of the art object and of landscapes respectively. In this context, the role and importance of the museum as a site for cataloguing and preserving art, and projecting certain defined notions that have a bearing on the study of art and architecture will also be focused upon.

Each region developed its own style of architecture and sculpture under patronage of different political dynasty in different parts of India. The Chandellas in Madhya Pradesh created their own vocabulary of sculpture and architecture, while a different style of art and architecture flourished in Rajasthan and Gujarat under the patronage of various Rajput dynasties. Pallavas, Pandayas and Cholas in the southern India created large edifices that were completely different in style and form the temple architecture of northern India.
