  • Artist & Empire Room 1 Mapping and Marking Large Print Guide
    Artist & Empire 25 November 2015 – 10 April 2016 Room 1 Mapping and Marking Large Print Guide Please return after use Introduction At its height the British Empire was the largest empire in history and the most influential global power. Originating with a few overseas possessions and trading posts, it grew to encompass dominions, colonies and protectorates ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. In 1922 the Empire covered almost a quarter of the world’s total land area; by the end of the century it had diminished to just a few overseas territories. During this contraction, ‘Empire’ became a highly provocative term. Its history of war, conquest and appropriation is difficult, even painful, to address but its legacy is everywhere: not just in public monuments, but in social structures, culture and in the fault lines of contemporary global politics. Artist and Empire looks at the British Empire through the prism of art and explores some of the ways in which Empire has shaped practices and themes in British art from the early colonial period to the present day. Focusing on works in British collections by a diverse range of artists from across the world, the exhibition illustrates the complicated histories embodied by objects, inviting us to consider how their status and meaning change over time. In reflecting imperial narratives and post-colonial re-evaluations, it foregrounds the peoples, dramas and tragedies of Empire and their resonance in art today. 1 1 Mapping and Marking Charting, mapping and surveying oceans, coasts, land and resources were essential tools of Empire. Part of a wider gathering of information by the West about the world, they defined sea and trade routes, and identified territory to be claimed and colonised.

  • A KING from the I St and O F SALLY Or GALLE
    A KING FROM THE I St AND of SALLY or GALLE Plate 1 THE BIRTH OF THE IDEA OF BALI* James A. Boon Cultures are not captured by simple empirical reportage; least of all Bali. Cultures are fabricated by matching available ideas and images against the daily lives and historical conditions of elusive isolates in time and space. For this reason ethnology straddles the history of ideas. And this is as true today as in the sixteenth cen­ tury. Any holistic ethnological image is distorted, since it necessarily preselects certain features of a cross-cultural encounter for extra emphasis. To typify an entire culture by glossing its political authority (e.g., "a kingdom") or its general subsistence (e.g., "a peasantry"), or to characterize it as a collection of "village communi­ ties" or some alternative abstraction is often to omit important as­ pects of the self-conceptions of the inhabitants themselves or some sector of them. Moreover, an ethnological blazon, especially if has­ tily contrived, can lock in general perspectives on a culture which may endure for centuries and confine the questions asked by informed visitors who have inevitably been briefed by the limited accounts available to them. Bali--so rich an ethnographic terrain in matters of religion, subsistence, marriage, and hierarchy--also generated a provocative set of typifying efforts by the earliest European explorers to come in contact with it. Just why the first Dutch observers (and their first English copyist) were obliged to construe Bali as a benevo­ lent monarchy with harmonious subjects is a complex topic for social, political, and colonial history.

  • Early Modern Manila and a Microstudy of Regional Globalisation
    DISSERTATION Titel der Dissertation When Political Economies Meet: Spain, China and Japan in Manila, 1571‐1644 Verfasserin Mag. phil. Birgit Magdalena TREMML angestrebter akademischer Grad Doktorin der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) Wien, Juni 2012 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 092 312 Dissertationsgebiet lt. Studienblatt: Geschichte Betreuerin / Betreuer: Univ. Prof. Dr. Peer Vries Acknowledgements Over the past five years, people often told me how lucky I was for being paid to pursue my passion. Although this shows that research in the humanities is regrettably considered nothing more than a pastime by many, I am also aware that I have been in a very privileged position. My employment at the Department of Social and Economic History at the University of Vienna enabled me to carry out truly global research in Europe, Asia and America, to teach in an inspiring global history program that had a profound impact on my work, and to be introduced into the academic community. Still, the present dissertation would have been impossible without the generous support of other organizations. The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (Monbukagakusho), which financed my research as graduate student at the University of Tokyo in 2008/09, deserves special mentioning. I also received generous funding for archival research and participation in conferences from the Österreichische Gesellschaft für Wissenschaft (ÖFG), the Theodor Körner Fonds and the Newberry Library. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my advisors Univ. Prof. Dr. Peer Vries and Ao. Prof. Mag. Dr. Friedrich Edelmayer, MAS, whose encouragement, expertise and support have accompanied me over the years.

  • Frost Welcomes Giants of Many Musical Arenas
    University of Miami • Spring 2012 INS IDE: Measuring Bandwidth Third Stream Bass-ic Inspiration scoreFROST SCHOOL OF MUSIC Soul with Trumpet teaching at Frost is infused with Sound the creative genius of four modern masters Message from the Dean As an undergraduate at the University of Houston in the 1970s, I served as president of the Music School Student Council. When the school consulted the council as part of its search for a new director, I said, “Please interview William F. Lee. He is the greatest and most innovative music dean in the country.” They did, though Dr. Lee had no intention of leaving Miami. Thus began a decades-long friendship between Bill Lee and me. We each served terms as president of the International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE), and during my tenure, the then-retired Lee was filling in as interim executive director. We traveled the world together, deepening our bond as musicians, educators, and friends. Bill Lee was a true renaissance man—brilliant and visionary. He was a performing musician who “gigged” his entire life, while leading music schools, helping to found the IAJE, and authoring dozens of books on a wide range of topics. Most importantly to the University of Miami, Bill Lee founded the modern Frost School, and former dean Bill Hipp and I have continued to build on that foundation. Lee’s passing in October of 2011 was a sad day for all who knew him. His insight and sense of humor will remain with us all. A William F. Lee Scholarship has been established at the Frost School so that his legacy can continue to enhance students’ lives.

Deze vraag heeft schrijver dezes zich gesteld toen de uitgever hem kwam zeggen, over dit gegeven gaarne een boek van zijn hand aan een uitgebreid publiek te willen voorzetten. Na enig nadenken kon het antwoord als volgt luiden: omdat die stof zo onuitputtelijk is, en zich vatbaar toont om onder zovele gezichtshoeken te worden be- keken, dat het stellig geen kwaad kan indien of en toe verschillende schrijvers van uiteenlopende scholing en visie elk op eigen manier hun talenten eens beproeven op het ontwerpen van een schets ten behoeve hunner eigen tijdgenoten.

  • Sir Walter Ralegh a Biography
    Sir Walter Ralegh A Biography by W. Stebbing Sir Walter Ralegh - A Biography CHAPTER I. GENEALOGY. The Raleghs were an old Devonshire family, once wealthy and distinguished. At one period five knightly branches of the house flourished simultaneously in the county. In the reign of Henry III a Ralegh had been Justiciary. There were genealogists who, though others doubted, traced the stock to the Plantagenets through an intermarriage with the Clares. The Clare arms have been found quartered with those of Ralegh on a Ralegh pew in East Budleigh church. The family had held Smallridge, near Axminster, from before the Conquest. Since the reign of Edward III it had been seated on the edge of Dartmoor, at Fardell. There it built a picturesque mansion and chapel. The Raleghs of Fardell were, writes Polwhele, 'esteemed ancient gentlemen.' But the rapacious lawyers of Henry VII had discovered some occasion against Wimund Ralegh, the head of the family in their day. They thought him worth the levy of a heavy fine for misprision of treason; and he had to sell Smallridge. Ralegh's Parents. Wimund married into the Grenville family; and in 1497 his son and heir, Walter, was born. Before the boy attained majority the father died. As Dr. Brushfield, a Devon antiquarian, to whose diligence and enthusiasm all students of the life of Walter Ralegh are indebted, has shown, Walter Ralegh of Fardell, on the termination of his minority, in 1518, was possessed, in addition to Fardell, of the manors of Colaton Ralegh, Wythecombe Ralegh, and Bollams. He may be presumed to have succeeded to encumbrances likewise.
