  • Chirurgeonês Handbook
    ChirurgeonÊs Handbook January 2004 AS XXXVIII As Updated March 2007 ii Change Log Change Log Date Change March Added new paragraphs in section III.9 to handle removal of a 2007 Chirurgeon from an event in emergency situations and details the process that must be followed. Added new paragraphs in section III.13 to handle cessation of Chirurgeon services at an event and the process that must be followed. October Changed “Chirurgeon General” to “Society Chirurgeon” 2006 Changed “Deputy Corporate Chirurgeons” to “Deputy Society Chirurgeons” for consistency in titles July 2006 Changed “Master Chirurgeon” to “Mentor Chirurgeon” Changed “Journeyman Chirurgeon” to “Chirurgeon” Changed “Apprentice Chirurgeon” to “Chirurgeon-in-Training” Minor grammar changes to accommodate new titles Change Log i ii Change Log Preface This is the Handbook for first-aid volunteers (Chirurgeons) of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Between these pages you will find the corporate policies and administrative guidelines, as well as instructions for newcomers on how to become a Chirurgeon. For Chirurgeons who already hold warrants, this Handbook is your reference to the administrivia of the Chirurgeonate at all levels of the SCA. The Handbook may look like something entirely new – but it isn't. Most of the information herein is from the 1992 edition of the Handbook, only rearranged and reorganized. In the mid eighties, the Board of Directors of the SCA directed the Society's first-aid coordinator (the Chirurgeon General) to restructure the Chirurgeonate as it then existed. The 1986 Handbook was one of the products of that restructuring. The organization of the Chirurgeonate as described in the 1986 Handbook is the one we still use today.

  • Armour As a Symbolic Form
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Waffen-und Kostümkunde 26 (1984), Nr. 2, S. 77-96 Armour As a Symbolic Form By Zdzislaw Zygulski Jr. „It is perfectly possible to argue that some distinctive objects are made by the mind, and that these objects, while appearing to exist objectively, have only a fictional reality." E. W. Said, Orientalism, New York 1979 Somewhere in the remote past of mankind armour was born, its basic purpose being to protect the soft and vulnerable human body in combat. It is somewhat surprising that in the course of Darwinian evolution man lost his natural protective attributes, above all hair, and slowly became what is called, with some malice, ,,the naked ape". Very soon man the hunter adopted animal skins as his first dress and also as armour. The tradition of an armour of leather is very ancient and still lingers in the word ,,cuirass". Various natural substances such as hard wood, plant fibres, bones, hoofs, or even tusks were used to make the body protection more resistant, but as soon as metallurgy had been mastered metal became the supreme material for all kinds of weaponry, both offensive and defensive. Since a blow to the head was often lethal, special attention was paid to the pro­ tection of that principal part of the body: early bronze helmets of conical shape are represented in the Sume­ rian art as early as the third millennium B. C.l. The shield, a prehistoric invention, although detached from the body and movable, may also be considered as a kind of armour. In the course of centuries a great number of types of armour and innumerable actual specimens were crea­ ted.

  • Honored Values and Valued Objects: the Society for Creative Anachronism
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Althea L. Turner for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Design and Human Environment presented on April 28, 2010. Title: Honored Values and Valued Objects: The Society for Creative Anachronism Abstract approved: Elaine L. Pedersen In this dissertation, I posited the need to understand how an invented community (the Society for Creative Anachronism) constructs symbolic meaning in material objects and value systems. Using ethnographic methods, I focused on the Knights and their regalia as this is the most widely accepted material symbolism. People go to the SCA to find the communitas offered by a fantastical performed history. They create the material culture in order to enhance the atmosphere they seek in their mediated performance of history. This material culture then gains value, as it becomes imbued with the emotional contexts provided by the performance and embodied history. As American culture becomes increasingly fragmented, with place- bound community becoming a thing of the past, it is important to understand how humans adapt. One method of adaptive behavior is the construction of communities around beliefs, hobbies, products, or vocations. The SCA is one such example. © Copyright by Althea L.

  • Calontir Heralds Handbook

I would like to thank all those individuals who give of their time and efforts in the service of heraldry for the Kingdom of Calontir and the Society. Whether it’s through an aspect of vocal heraldry (making event announcements, handling camp cries, doing court); field heraldry (calling rounds, directing participants, announcing winners); pageantry (presenting combatants & consorts, helping with display, holding heraldic competitions); book heraldry (creating devices, documenting names, running consulting tables, providing commentary); ceremonial & protocol heraldry (researching period grants, writing scroll text, keeping an Order of Precedence); silent heraldry (assisting those with hearing impairments) or through support of those involved in an aspect of heraldry…the kingdom would not run as smoothly without your endeavors This is the third edition of the Calontir Herald’s Handbook published for both heralds within the kingdom and other individuals interested in the various aspects that the art and science of heraldry takes within the SCA and in Calontir specifically. We hope that all will find this publication to be a valuable resource. As the SCA’s knowledge of heraldry continues to develop there come changes to the standards and policies that heralds need to be aware of. Readers of this handbook will note some changes from previous editions, so whether you are new to heraldry, or are a more experienced herald, please take the time to read through the handbook to acquaint yourself with the material that it contains.

  • Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc
    Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. A Guide to Introduce Our Organization to Site Owners and Managers for Potential Use of Facilities by the SCA 1 Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the SCA and our activities in relation to our prospective use of your facilities for our event. What is the SCA? The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA), is an international, non-profit, educational organization designed as a hands-on, learn-by-doing model to research and re-create European life prior to 1600. At our events, members strive to recapture the ambiance of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This requires research into such topics as clothing, weaponry, armor, food, music, and innumerable other arts and crafts. We then attempt to practice and teach what we have learned as authentically as possible, by constructing reproductions of medieval artifacts, practicing the arts and crafts we have researched, learning to fight with a sword and shield, and so on. The SCA began with a small backyard tournament in Berkeley in 1966. It was incorporated in California in 1968 and has grown steadily to a membership of approximately 26,000 paid members, with an estimated figure of perhaps double that number who participate without formal membership. Members can be found in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Far East, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Important Information . The Society carries its own insurance. Proof of insurance is available upon request. The SCA is registered as a 501(3)(c) nonprofit group. We are an educational organization.
