A Digital Geography Of Hispanic Baroque Art., Juan Luis Suárez, Fernando Sancho Caparrini, Élika Ortega, Javier De La Rosa, Natalia Caldas, David David Brown

CulturePlex Lab Publications

In this article we propose an approach to the study of art history based on geography of Hispanic Baroque art by digital means that showcase the multiplicity of possible places of art. Our study advances four elements of a digital geography of art (communities, semantic maps, areas, and flows)—a methodology that can be expanded in future Digital Humanities research.

Veterinary Medicine, Jeffrey Tucker, Dr. Michael Mackay

Journal of Undergraduate Research

It is not an overstatement to claim that the work Dr. Michael MacKay and I were able to conduct through the benevolence of the ORCA programme represents the cutting of history of medicine research. We have engaged a field that is strikingly underdeveloped, yet extremely relevant to early modern history. Within the last five years the World Association for the History of Veterinary Medicine has fostered new interests in veterinary history throughout this world. Our scholarship questions current interpretations of the emergence of veterinary science and demonstrates that through the creation of organized horse hospitals systematized veterinary medicine developed almost …

An Excerpt From Al-Sayyid Asghar Akbar By Murtedha Gzar, Yasmeen S. Hanoosh

World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations

The following is a translation of an excerpt from the novel Al-Sayyid Asghar Ak bar (Dar al-Tanwir, 2012) by Iraqi author Murtedha Gzar. This recent work by a young engineer from the southern city of Basra has received considerable attention in literary circles at home and abroad, significantly for the ways in which it departs from the mimetic norms of social realism that were found in the established narratological models of the pre-2003 U.S. occupation era, such as the varieties cultivated in the 1960s and 1970s in Iraq by seminal authors lik e Gha’ib Ṭu`mah Farman, Mahdi Isa al-Saqr, and …

Agency At Hacienda Pancota: Early Colonial Daily Consumption Of A Contested Age And Material Culture, Collin Roderick Gillenwater

Theses and Dissertations

The artifact assemblage of indigenous, imported, and contraband material goods at use in the Izalcos region of western El Salvador's early colonial period were analyzed to determine material agency. The archaeological remains of a specific hacienda and its residents' daily consumption were analyzed spatially and typologically. The resulting data concluded in the interpretation of Hacienda Pancota residents' adapting their lives with remarkable versatility during Spanish occupation. Specialization of place becomes more heavily emphasized with the incorporation of European goods, an important factor defining agency at Hacienda Pancota.

Energy And Emotions: Transdisciplinary Design Education For Resource Conservation, Tatu Marttila, Karthikeya Archarya, Lutz Gegner, Till Bovermann

Learn X Design Conference Series

In our contemporary world we are using resources extensively to the point of their depletion. The call for more sustainable ways of living is louder than ever before, asking for a better awareness of the flows of resources and energy. This paper looks into existing design perspectives towards energy use in our daily living. By exploring relevant literature in social sciences and in design, and earlier research related to energy use, we identify a need to connect the design for conservation more strongly with human emotions and their relations in the social realm, and thus iterate the systems collaboratively in …

Creativity In The Subject Art And Crafts: The Weak Link Between Learning And Assessment, Eva Lutnæs

Learn X Design Conference Series

This paper explores the assessment of creativity in the Norwegian school subject Art and Crafts. Creativity, or its sibling, originality is frequently used as an assessment criterion in assignments given to pupils at the level of lower secondary education. Written assessment criteria contribute to the public face of the subject, revealing core values to pupils, parents, headmasters and politicians. I have studied the assessment repertoire of teachers when negotiating final grades and legitimising their assessment practice in interviews.The teachers struggle to find words to describe what makes pupils’ design creative or original. Creativity seems to be something that just happens …

Art And Design Schools In Transition: The Uncertain Future Of The Workshop Model, Martin Egge Lundell

Learn X Design Conference Series

Recent reforms in higher education promote standardization and comparability. However, the academic disciplines set the standard that the art and design schools are expected to adapt to. This new and more theoretical approach can come in direct conflict with the traditional way of teaching at the art and design schools. These schools have traditionally been teaching in accordance with a workshop-oriented method, where theory is more related to and part of practice than in the academic sphere.

Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public

This past weekend, I let my two hobbies combine. I spend a good chunk of my spare time doing incessant, weird and wild historical research. If you've read along on the blog for any appreciable time, you know the odd corners I've turned finding peculiar and striking stories both here in Gettysburg and beyond.

But I have another hobby.
