Interactional Strategies in Late-Nineteenth-Century Classical Archaeology: the Case of Adolf Furtwängler Ulf R
7 ‘More feared than loved’: interactional strategies in late-nineteenth-century Classical archaeology: the case of Adolf Furtwängler Ulf R. Hansson Knowledge production in archaeology and elsewhere in academia is naturally dependent on the interaction between actors who connect, cluster and collaborate on fieldwork or other projects, and exchange information or test out new discoveries and ideas with colleagues within the various institutional and informal structures of the discipline such as university departments, professional societies, museums, congresses, workshops, journals, networks, etc. The strong social nature of these creative processes has long been acknowledged and applies to the whole field, including its so-called ‘instrumental’ actors. We all build on the achievements of others in our field and seek contact and exchange with colleagues working on similar material. Most of us are grateful for the opportunity to meet face to face, and we often stress the importance of collegiality and interaction for our own professional development. But not all of us are socially skilled; quite a few dread the pressure that the social arenas of the discipline generate and reproduce, while others are viewed as ‘toxic’ controversialists creating unwanted friction within the community. Tension and friction are constant presences, and perfectly legitimate professional disagreements that constitute a vital part of any healthy scientific or scholarly process can easily deteriorate into open conflict, even lifelong feuds, of a more personal kind that risk destabilising the dynamics of these institutional and informal structures, disrupting communication channels and forcing actors to rethink their positions and interactional modes and strategies. Much has been said about collegiality and the benefits of archaeologists coming together, but structural and interpersonal friction or conflict within the community, whether potentially constructive or mainly counterproductive, and the Ulf R. -

(1879-1978) by Larissa Bonfante and Matthias Recke Margarete Bieber
MARGARETE BIEBER (1879-1978) By Larissa Bonfante and Matthias Recke Margarete Bieber: Two Worlds Larissa Bonfante and Matthias Recke Introduction Soon after Margarete Bieber's death in 1979 Larissa Bonfante wrote a short biography of her former teacher, long-time friend and neighbor in New York, which appeared in Claire Richter Sherman's Women as Interpreters of the Visual Arts (1981). Much of it was based on the unpublished manuscript of Dr. Bieber's Autobiography of a Female Scholar, which she gave to the author. This autobiography recounted the story of her life and her work, first in Germany and, after the coming of the Nazi era, in America. Twenty-five years later, these two worlds of the archaeologist, in Germany and America, Giessen and New York, are brought together by the two authors of this chapter. Matthias Recke became interested in Dr. Bieber's life when he was working on the history of the Archaeological Institute of the University of Giessen in which she played such an important part. His research in the archives of the Institute and the University led to the discovery of important letters, documents and material which illuminate the historical situation and often put the author's actions and interpretation of the facts in a new light. The two authors therefore determined to collaborate on a new account of the life of Margarete Bieber and of her remarkable career, which spanned two continents and almost a hundred years of a dramatic period of history. Much has changed in the quarter century since Margarete Bieber’s death in terms of both information and attitudes. -

Emanuel Löwy, Die Naturwiedergabe in Der Älteren Griechischen Kunst
New looks at old books: Emanuel Löwy, Die Naturwiedergabe in der älteren griechischen Kunst A.A. Donohue The case of Emanuel Löwy (1857-1938) is of considerable interest for the historiography of art. The course of his life and career illuminates both intellectual and institutional history, the content of his work is relevant to the general history of art as well as to the field of classical art and archaeology, and his critical fortunes are filled with contradictions. What is arguably his most significant work, Die Naturwiedergabe in der älteren griechischen Kunst (The Rendering of Nature in Early Greek Art), asks to be considered within a wider context than might at first be obvious.1 Löwy is sometimes left out of standard surveys of disciplinary histories2 or receives minimal recognition.3 The only extended treatment of his life and work did not appear until 1998.4 There he is characterized as a ‘forgotten pioneer’, reflecting the contrast between his near invisibility in formal histories of his fields and the fact that his teaching and scholarship are often cited as fundamental and highly 1 Emanuel Löwy, Die Naturwiedergabe in der älteren griechischen Kunst, Rome: Verlag von Loescher and Co.
