Bartolomeo Ammannati: Moving Stones, Managing Waterways, And Building An Empire For Duke Cosimo I De' Medici, Felicia M. Else
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
This study, drawing on new information from unpublished documents, reconsiders the working methods and responsibilities of sculptor and architect Bartolomeo Ammannati in the context of Cosimo I de' Medici's creation of a grand ducal Tuscan empire. Ammannati was an indispensable part of the broader enterprise of ducal and grand ducal building activity, urban development, and court bureaucracy. His success was reliant on skills different than those emphasized by Giorgio Vasari. Instead of divinely inspired disegno or rampant terribilità, Ammannati showed his technical, organizational, and supervisory skills to move stones, build bridges, manage waterways, and keep track of expenses - the …

From The Port Of Mocha To The Eighteenth-Century Tomb Of Imam Al-Mahdi Muhammad In Al-Mawahib: Locating Architectural Icons And Migratory Craftsmen, Nancy Um
Art History Faculty Scholarship
This article introduces and analyzes the tomb of the Qāsimī Imām al-Mahdī Muhammad (r. 1686-1718) in the village of al-Mawāhib, northeast of Dhamār. Unlike many of the mosques and tombs associated with the other Zaydī imams of Yemen, al-Mahdī’s mausoleum has never been published, but merits close examination. While most historians consider his imamate to have been an era of both religious and political decline, this period was marked by increased cross-cultural interaction and artistic production. In particular, the tomb of al-Mahdī features unique decoration above its mihrāb and a remarkable wooden cenotaph. In order to explain the meaning and …

Icarus Returned: The Falling Man And The Survival Of Antiquity, Sharon Sliwinski
Data and Test Instruments
This chapter examines the so-called "Falling Man" photograph: Richard Drew's infamous image of an anonymous man in free fall, following his jump from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Using Aby Warburg's iconographical method, I read this figure as a latter-day Icarus, putting Drew's photograph in dialogue with other representations of Icarus as a way to explore the image's unconscious force.

The Multiple Identities Of Azerbaijan, Babajide George Iloba
Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences
This paper focuses on the emerging Azerbaijani identity and its competing articulations in the Republic of Azerbaijan, in Iran, and in Diaspora. The northern Republic of Azerbaijan has a population of over 8 million people, the majority of whom have different social and political experiences than over 30 million Azeris in the South, or in Iranian Azerbaijan. However, there are formidable historical, socio-cultural, ethnic, and linguistic ties that bind all Azerbaijanis together as one people. This necessity of coming together finds its highest expression in Diaspora and among the Azeri émigrés. In the process, the Azeri Diaspora experiences a host …

Turkish Language In Iran (From The Ghaznavid Empire To The End Of The Safavid Dynasty), Zivar Huseynova
Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences
It is well known that throughout History/ Archaeology Persians and Turks have been collecting within the same nation in states of peace and war and creating empires under the names of various dynasties. There are many sources giving evidence to the fact that Turks lived and ruled in these lands. In the article we will give information about the status of the Turkish language exclusively during the period of time from the Ghaznavid Empire until the end of the Safavid Empire. Beginning by the Ghaznavid government in 961, in later centuries the Kharazms, Seljuks, Teymuris, Elkhans, Aq Koyunlus, Kara Koyunlus, …

Schamachi/Şamaxı In 1683/1684 – Engelbert Kaempfer’S Intercultural Contacts, Lothar Weiss
Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences
As secretary of a Swedish delegation to the court of Shah Sulaimān, Engelbert Kaempfer (1651-1716) travelled through what is today Azərbaycan for 77 days. He stayed in Scha- machi/Şamaxı, the former capital of the Persian province of Šervān, for four weeks, including his visit to Bakı and the oil fields of Apsheron – this report (Lemgo 1712) is well known. Not so well known are details of his stay in Scha- machi; his diary and his liber amicorum (auto- graph book with five entries from Schamachi, in five languages; not shown before) give the names of seven or eight of …

Romanian Immigrant Travel Routes To America, Mihaela Mudure
Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences
This paper claims the existence of various immigrant travel routes in American literature. The literary argumentation relies on Domnica Radulescu and her first novel Train to Trieste and on Alta Ifland‘s collection of short stories Elegy for a Fabulous Land. Both writers were born in Romania and were confronted with totalitarianism and its impositions upon individual identity. Travel and mobility have shaped the identities of these two writers in decisive ways which draw the contours of an emerging hyphenated ethnic literature: Romanian-American literature.

Unchaste Veneration In Titian's Worship Of Venus, Fern Luskin
Publications and Research
The identity, activities, and attributes of Venus and her devotees in Titian's Worship of Venus have long been misunderstood. Although based on Philostratus' Erotes, Titian's actual textual source was Demetrios Moschos' Italian translation of the Erotes. Previous analyses of Titian's painting have relied either on faulty transcriptions and translations of Moschos' Amori, or on the original Greek or Loeb edition of Philostratus, which differ from Moschos' work. A careful translation of Moschos' text, closely compared to Titian's painting, yields a new interpretation of its theme, riddles, and humorous double entendres pointing toward a decidedly unchaste Venus worshipped not …
