  • The Art of Victorian Photography
    THE ART OF VICTORIAN Dr. Laurence Shafe [email protected] PHOTOGRAPHY www.shafe.uk The Art of Victorian Photography The invention and blossoming of photography coincided with the Victorian era and photography had an enormous influence on how Victorians saw the world. We will see how photography developed and how it raised issues concerning its role and purpose and questions about whether it was an art. The photographic revolution put portrait painters out of business and created a new form of portraiture. Many photographers tried various methods and techniques to show it was an art in its own right. It changed the way we see the world and brought the inaccessible, exotic and erotic into the home. It enabled historic events, famous people and exotic places to be seen for the first time and the century ended with the first moving images which ushered in a whole new form of entertainment. • My aim is to take you on a journey from the beginning of photography to the end of the nineteenth century with a focus on the impact it had on the visual arts. • I focus on England and English photographers and I take this title narrowly in the sense of photographs displayed as works of fine art and broadly as the skill of taking photographs using this new medium. • In particular, • Pre-photographic reproduction (including drawing and painting) • The discovery of photography, the first person captured, Fox Talbot and The Pencil of Light • But was it an art, how photographers created ‘artistic’ photographs, ‘artistic’ scenes, blurring, the Pastoral • The Victorian

    Barbara J. Ilie. Libraries and Book Culture of the Byzantine Empire. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in I.S. degree. July, 2007. 26 pages. Advisor: Jerry Saye This paper examines the libraries and book culture of the Byzantine Empire. It finds that the Imperial and Patriarchal Libraries enjoyed royal patronage from the empire’s very inception, and benefited from imperial largesse throughout its span. Private libraries and monastic libraries were also important; some private libraries rivaled their monastic and imperial counterparts. Another interesting find was that book ownership was reserved for the few; those in the practice of book production could derive a significant income from selling these items of luxury. Finally, devotion to the book assured that many works from antiquity and from the Byzantine period itself have survived until the present day. This devotion ranged from emperor to scribal monk, from calligrapher to scholar collector.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • 1 Book and Image in Byzantine Christianity: Polemics Or Communication?
    Book and Image in Byzantine Christianity: Polemics or Communication? Introduction At least in some sense, the prevailing of an image culture in Byzantine Christianity can be said to reflect a theological choice in favour of Neoplatonic theurgy over and against a spiritualized, predominantly philosophical, religiosity —where ‘theurgy’ is intended to comprise the whole gamut of material trappings and rituals through which the relationship between the worldly and the divine sphere is established and cultivated. While icons, relics and liturgical instruments provide the main point of reference for this theurgic mediation, presenting specific issues appropriate to each and dominating the debates regarding the legitimacy of iconography, illustrations in books are not often discussed in this context. In this paper, I would like to argue that book illumination has at least an equally important role in supporting a case for the continued existence and use of iconography in Christianity.1 For, beginning with venerable biblical pandects such as the codex Sinaiticus and the codex Vaticanus,2 Greek manuscripts could have been the un-iconic ‘icon’ of Christianity par excellence. On the contrary, images crept into sacred books at an early stage, and there remained, and flourished, and grew, reaching a climax of sophistication and intensity in the Middle Byzantine Period. Why did the Christian book go so forcefully, so forthrightly, so thoroughly towards being an illustrated book? What ideas about imagery, and more 1 I would like here to thank the organizers of the ‘Byzantine Aesthetics and Theurgy’ Round Table at the XXII International Byzantine Congress at Sofia, August 2011, for having accepted my paper and guided the session and ensuing discussion most efficiently and productively.

  • Building Fiction the Architecture of Narrative in Harry Potter
    Building Fiction The Architecture of Narrative in Harry Potter by Holland Young A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfi llment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture in Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Holland Young 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required fi nal revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract A person does not experience architecture as a purely physical construct. Lived space transcends mere materiality, as each individual experiences the world outside oneself through the unique fi lter of one’s own mind. In this way, architecture becomes subjective: infl uenced by the memories and imagination of its viewers, who use the physical realm as a take-off point from which to shape their own environments within the context of their respective psyches. Fictional architecture (or the architecture of narrative) uses this same concept to build the environments in fi lm and literature; although, in these cases, the cues given to an audience are images, sounds and/or words rather than three-dimensional space. The term ‘architecture of narrative’, as used in this thesis, refers to the architecture of books and fi lms which must rely on imaginary environments. This type of architecture is free of the strict rules and regulations which govern built form in the corporeal world; however, in order for an audience to relate to and engage with these imaginary environments, it must still employ boundaries which give the fi ctional realm stability, coherence and continuity.
