Walter Benjamin
Walter Benjamin Pinturas chinesas na Bibliothèque Nationale1 Tradução e notas de Fernando Araújo Del Lama2 No último mês de outubro foi exposta na Bibliothèque Nationale uma coleção de pinturas chinesas3 pertencentes ao Sr. J. P. Dubosc4 que por seu interesse merece ser apontada. O público pôde ver as obras-primas que ele raramente encontra em seu caminho, e os conhecedores (connaisseurs), por sua vez, aproveitaram esta ocasião para se dar conta de um reagrupamento de valores que opera atualmente neste campo. Vale lembrar aqui a exposição feita em 1936, em Oslo pelo Dr. O. Sirén5, que 1 Tradução de: BENJAMIN, W. “Peintures chinoises à la Bibliothèque Nationale” in: _____. Gesammelte Schriften.

A Transnational Feminist Study on the Woman's Historical Novel By
University of Alberta Writing Back Through Our Mothers: A Transnational Feminist Study on the Woman’s Historical Novel by Tegan Zimmerman A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Comparative Literature ©Tegan Zimmerman Fall 2013 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

For my grandmother and my mother … ABSTRACT This transnational feminist study on the contemporary woman’s historical novel (post 1970) argues that the genre’s central theme and focus is the maternal. Analyzing the maternal, disclosed through a myriad of genealogies, voices, and figures, reveals that the historical novel is a feminist means for challenging historical erasures, silences, normative sexuality, political exclusion, divisions of labour, and so on within a historical-literary context. The novels surveyed in this work speak from the margins and spaces of silence within history and the genre. As much as the works contest masculinist master narratives, they also create and envision new genealogies. -

From the 1930s to 1940s, his output shifted from cosmopolitan Shanghai-based paintings to Guizhou Miao ethnic paintings to traditional Chinese and Art Deco-influenced industrial designs. Integrating historical context, Pang Xunqin’s biography, and stylistic analyses, this thesis interprets how the artist’s work transformed through particular social and political upheavals, including the Second Sino- Japanese War (1937-1945) and conflicts between vying political parties in China. -

After its discovery in the 1800s, the vase remained in the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad until eventually making its way to the United States. The imagery boasts a Persian origin; four female figures are illustrated in motion, elegantly holding an object in each hand. Not just Persian, more specifically the figures emerged from Sasanian Iran. The Sasanian Empire spanned from 224-651 CE and covered what is modern day Iran and spread from the Greco-Roman west to India and China in the East. -

Chauncey Jerome Hamlin (1881–1963) President of ICOM (1946-1953)
Chauncey Jerome Hamlin (1881–1963) President of ICOM (1946-1953) ICOM, which has retained its original English acronym for half a century, was the brainchild of an American, Chauncey J. Hamlin, President of the Trustees of the Science Museum in Buffalo. This is how Hamlin remembered the circumstances in which the adventure began: "In 1945, when I met Georges Salles, who was then Director of French museums, I suggested to him that we set up an International Council of Museums. He was immediately enthusiastic and agreed to sign a circular inviting the world's most eminent museologists to an international meeting at the Louvre in November 1946. His backing helped me to secure the support of the Director of the British Museum in London." Chauncey J. Hamlin, founder and first President of ICOM was born in 1881 in Buffalo (USA). In 1912, he campaigned for the presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt. Mobilised during the Great War he fought at Verdun (France). When he returned to the U.S., he was appointed Vice-President of the Buffalo Society of Natural Science and became its President in 1920 until 1948. His interest in museum activities led him to become President of The American Museum Association from 1923 to 1929. Throughout his lifetime Hamlin had a keen interest in music (he was President of the Buffalo Chamber Music Society and Director of the town's Philharmonic Society). Interestingly and coincidentally G.H. Rivière, who was to be his first collaborator at the head of ICOM, also had a well-known passion for music and was a gifted pianist.
