Royal Depositions and the ‘Canterbury Roll’
Authors: Shirota Maree
Published: March 2016

As the only fifteenth-century genealogical chronicle roll known to be in Australasia, the ‘Canterbury Roll’ is unique among New Zealand manuscript collections. The roll traces the ancestry of the British and English kings from Noah until the Wars of the Roses, raising issues of the significance of dynasty, myth, and ancestry for medieval kingship. Furthermore, although it appears to be a glorified ‘family tree’, examining the presentation of royal depositions on this manuscript offers new insights into political ideas about English kingship and reveals another facet of the cultural context of the House of Lancaster in late medieval England.
Indigenising the Medieval; or How Did Māori and Awabakal Become Inscribed in Medieval Manuscripts?
Authors: Rouse Robert
Published: March 2016

This article examines two moments in the history of two manuscripts now held in collections in Auckland, New Zealand. The first moment is the flyleaf inscription recording the gift of an early sixteenth-century Book of Hours from one settler to another in the Wellington colony in 1842, while the second is the addition of a faux-medieval decorative scheme to the Awabakal Gospel of St Luke under the orders of Sir George Grey in the early 1860s. Analysis of these two moments of manuscript re-inscription are revealing of the way in which nineteenth-century medievalism was deployed in the service of British imperial ideology.
Esmond de Beer, Wenceslaus Hollar, and William Dugdale: The Antiquarian Recording of Old St Paul’s
Authors: Collard Judith
Published: March 2016

A copy of William Dugdale’s History of St Paul’s Cathedral in London, from its foundation until these times was given to the University of Otago Library by Esmond de Beer, an important benefactor to the University. Based in England, de Beer donated to the library rare books he had collected while researching seventeenth-century England. The copy presented to Otago was printed in 1658 and is enriched with engravings by Wenceslaus Hollar. Like de Beer, Dugdale and Hollar were members of an antiquarian intellectual network. They had been determined to record and preserve England’s medieval heritage. Their work together provided an important record of the appearance of London’s St Paul’s Cathedral before the Great Fire of London in 1666. This record has continued to be used by architectural and urban historians.
Seventeenth-Century French Translations of the Consolatio Philosophiae of Boethius in New Zealand
Authors: Cropp Glynnis M.
Published: March 2016

When the last of the medieval French translations of the Consolatio Philosophiae appeared in 1477 as a printed book, the work had an easy transition from manuscript to print. However, it was not until the end of the sixteenth century and early seventeenth century that new translations appeared, the first two being of limited diffusion. The two following translations by René de Ceriziers and Nicolas Régnier were more widely known. Copies of both these translations, belonging to a private New Zealand collection, will be described and sample passages compared. They reflect interest in Boethius’s thought and its compatibility with Christian theology.

Towards a “Narratology of Otherness”: Colum McCann, Ireland, and a New Transcultural Approach
Authors: Gilligan Ruth
Published: March 2016

This essay gestures towards a new type of analysis of contemporary transcultural fiction. While existing analyses of such fiction tend to evaluate the ethical or political import thereof (often via the work of Gayatri Spivak or Homi Bhabha), by devising a narratological lens the focus may be shifted away from such ideological concerns. This is not to disavow the importance of such concerns; rather it is to illuminate the formal ingenuities enacted by certain transcultural writers, the majority of which have been heretofore overlooked. Taking Ireland as a case study, this new lens—this ‘Narratology of Otherness’—will be devised by examining the work of Irish-American author Colum McCann. This will at once shed new light on the formal nuances of McCann’s oeuvre, particularly his 2006 novel Zoli , whilst also revealing the implications such an approach may have for both Irish and transcultural literary debates more broadly.
Constructing Ordinary Time in Adam Bede : The Architectural Structure of Eliot’s Realism
Authors: Griffith Jody

Just as the title character of George Eliot’s first full-length novel, Adam Bede (1858), is concerned with building structures out of the proper materials and measurements, the novel itself seeks to build a narrative structure that works on the sensibilities and sympathies of a reader. This article examines Adam Bede through the lens of its architecture; I argue that the novel’s descriptions of houses, farms, churches, and workshops emphasize the temporality of physical structures, thus offering a useful template for understanding the novel’s narrative structures. Through its formal arrangements, the novel juxtaposes a sense of lived time, especially the rhythms of the ordinary, against competing chronotopes of destabilizing, extra-ordinary experiences. The temporality of Adam Bede ’s architecture demonstrates the emergence of a realist genre not only capable of reflecting what Jameson calls “the density and solidity of what is,” but also the processes through which those structures are constructed and maintained.
The Paradox of Narrative Empathy and the Form of the Novel, or What George Eliot Knew
Authors: Lindhé Anna
Published: March 2016

There is a paradox at the heart of literature that has not been sufficiently explored in theories of the novel, a paradox that could be expressed like this: if readers feel themselves into the fictive Other’s inner life they may simultaneously participate in the generation of the Other—or the Other’s Other. This paradox suggests that empathy in literature is not without its ethical costs. In asking us to empathize with certain characters, empathy is blocked for others. The ethical potential of literature is often assumed to originate in its appeal to our empathy; but if empathy in literature is intimately bound up with processes that create the Other, any straightforward connection between literature and ethics is disrupted. This article uses Silas Marner (1861) as a case study to explore what I call the paradox of narrative empathy, while also revealing an unforeseen ethical insight at the heart of George Eliot’s novel that has not previously been attributed to that “charming minor masterpiece.”
The Power of the Air in Milton’s Epic Poetry
Authors: Cox Katherine
Published: March 2016

The doctrine of the devil as “prince of the power of the aire” (Ephesians 2:2) is central to Milton’s epic demonology. Milton elaborates this tradition to characterize Satan and the fallen angels as agents of God’s judgment whom he permits to live in the postlapsarian air and manifest its power. This essay focuses on Paradise Lost , including references to Christian Doctrine and Paradise Regained , to demonstrate how Ephesians 2:2 and related beliefs about demonic atmospheric hegemony underlie Milton’s depiction of Satan’s deteriorated body, his turbulent psyche, the origins of inclement weather, and the pneumatics of temptation.
Interinanimation and Lifelessness in John Donne’s Book Studies
Authors: Ursell Michael
Published: March 2016

Throughout John Donne’s poetry, books shuttle between animate and inanimate states, enacting “interinanimation,” a word Donne himself invented. His book conceits thus reveal an interaction between life and nonlife that takes place in books. This essay examines moments when the literal and the figural book seem to coincide in Donne’s Anniversaries , “Valediction of the Booke,” and the Latin verse letter “De Libro” in order to argue that, even while they were caught up in anthropocentric mythologies of rebirth, Renaissance books established affinities between living beings and a world of things that could never experience birth, life, or death.
Southern Forests in Flux: Mapping Changing Timberland Ownership in Five Alabama Counties
Authors: Randle Anne , Barlow Rebecca J. , Gunnoe Andrew
Published: March 2016

En los últimos veinte años, la industria de productos forestales vendió gran parte de sus tierras en los Estados Unidos, incluyendo aproximadamente 18 millones de hectáreas en el sur de los Estados Unidos. Las decisiones de gestión de los nuevos propietarios repercutirán directamente en la sociedad, la economía y la ecología locales. Las investigaciones previas se han enfocado en tendencias generales, sin prestar atención al impacto local que este evento tendrá en las comunidades rurales que dependen de la madera. Este estudio hace un mapa del cambio de propiedad de las tierras madereras en cinco condados del suroeste de Alabama donde se concentra la producción de madera. Para identificar dónde la tierra cambió de dueño, se comparó la propiedad maderera industrial de principios de los noventa con la propiedad actual de la tierra. Siguiendo las tendencias nacionales, la mayoría de esos terrenos (63%) pertenece a corporaciones madereras con propietarios ausentes. Aunque el cambio de propietarios ha dejado el bosque aparentemente intacto con poca fragmentación o cambio de uso, han ocurrido algunos cambios de importancia ecológica como la compra de 54.000 hectáreas para la conservación. Este trabajo analizará las implicaciones de estos cambios.
Does iPad technology bolster art teaching and learning?
Authors: Wang Tingting Windy
Published: March 2016

Despite the availability of iPads in a large number of school districts, as well as the popularity of teaching with iPads in art classrooms, evidenced by presentations that featured iPad teaching methods at National Art Education Association annual conventions during recent years, little research has been conducted to explore the practicability and effectiveness of the utilization of mobile tablet technology such as iPads in actual art teaching scenarios for kindergarten to middle school students. I hereby present an exploratory study about how the mobile tablet technology including iPads and artistic applications (mainly Sketchbook pro) can assist in a specific art education teaching and learning practice. Results of this study suggested that through using iPads, students achieved the expected comprehension and performance of artistic skills and knowledge, gained more interest in artistic learning, aroused creative abilities, and generated innovative forms of artistic practices.
Is the critique relevant? The function of critique in a studio art classroom, told three times
Authors: Doren Mariah
Published: March 2016

Is the critique relevant? Art and design education is changing as we move deeper into the twenty-first century. This article will describe and investigate the critique from three vantage points: The first is a common sense narrative, the mythical ideal of critique presented in stories of how art should be taught. The second works to take apart this ideal, looking at how this formalized assessment is experienced by students and the symbolic ‘violence’ of authority-driven educational practices. The third perspective unpacks how we, as practitioners and educators in the field of art and design, understand meaning in artworks and what is described as valuable in assessment. The focus here is on the presentation of originality and the problem with a lingering adherence to Modernist notions of linear progress. ‘The function of critique in a studio art classroom’ re-examines critique and asks us to reframe classroom conversations of student artwork.
Characterizing Fabrics in Firefighters’ Protective Clothing: Hot Water Immersion with Compression
Authors: Mandal Sumit , Song Guowen
Published: March 2016

This study characterized fabrics used in firefighters’ protective clothing based on their response to thermal exposure using hot water immersion with compression. The thermal protective performance of compressed fabrics possessing different physical properties was evaluated based on thermal energy transmission under laboratory-simulated hot water immersion. Primarily, mass (hot water) transfer and conductive heat transfer occurred. Different fabric constructions and properties affected mass and heat transfer, affecting the thermal protective performance of the test fabrics. Fabrics including a moisture barrier possessed higher thermal protective performance than fabrics including no moisture barrier, even though the former fabrics had lower thermal resistance values. The position of the moisture barrier affected mass transfer through the fabric. Air-impermeable, heavy, and/or thicker fabric displayed higher thermal resistance and protective performance.
Dendrimer Technology for Water and Oil Repellent Cotton Textiles
Authors: Atav Riza , Bariş Berkay
Published: March 2016

The aim of this study was to determine whether dendrimer-based products can replace classic fluorocarbon-based products in water repellent, woven cotton fabrics. Furthermore, the effect of adding a dendrimer to a fluorocarbon product on the resulting water and oil repellency was studied. For that purpose, fluorocarbon, dendrimer, and dendrimer-fluorocarbon mixture-based commercial products were applied to cotton fabrics using the pad-dry-cure method. Repellency performance and wash resistance of these chemicals were investigated. It was found that the same water repellency values could be obtained in lower concentrations or under milder curing conditions using the dendrimer-fluorocarbon mixture-based product compared to that of the fluorocarbon-based product.

O cinema português como "cinema nacional"
Authors: Graça André Rui
Published: March 2016

Propõe-se a discussão cinema português ao nível mais conceptual possível, através da sua condição enquanto cinema nacional e da forma como a crítica e os estudos fílmicos procederam à sua análise através desse mesmo enquadramento. Serão questionados conceitos e discursos dominantes e reflectir-se-á sobre a importância pragmática do cinema português para as audiências. Com efeito, mais do que tentar responder à questão “o que é o cinema português?”, este estudo pretende explorar o que precede o ser, que é a razão de existir.
De la práctica a la teoría: la escritura de manifiestos y la expresión estética
Authors: Flores Silvana
Published: March 2016

Por medio de este artículo, nos proponemos estudiar acerca de la implantación del manifiesto estético como un elemento utilizado frecuentemente por los artistas plásticos y literarios de América Latina durante las décadas del veinte al cuarenta para finalmente derivar en las disposiciones teóricas de los realizadores que conformaron el Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano. Estudiaremos la funcionalidad práctica de este tipo de escritos y su desarrollo durante el devenir histórico, así como también la implicancia política provocada por los manifiestos a lo largo del tiempo, entendiendo a este tipo de escritos como uno de los puntos de contacto entre los diferentes períodos que signaron el desarrollo de las artes en América Latina, tanto en la literatura, como en la pintura y el cine.
Um Historiador Cineasta
Authors: Duarte Miguel Mesquita
Published: March 2016

No seu novo livro intitulado Jean-Luc Godard, Cinema Historian (2013), Michael Witt aborda alguns dos mais complexos e importantes aspectos da multifacetada obra de Jean-Luc Godard. Partindo de Histoire(s) du Cinéma (1998) como objecto de estudo central, Michael Witt evidencia as proposições históricas aí desenvolvidos e analisa as suas formas, temas e procedimentos através da contextualização dos filmes e dos vídeos criados pelo cineasta Francês ao longo do projecto. Esta recensão crítica centra-se no estudo levado a cabo por Michael Witt sobre as principais influências e metodologias da investigação histórica de Godard, conferindo particular destaque ao encontro dialógico entre Godard e Walter Benjamin. Os modos alternativos de escrita da história convergem com a utilização criativa da montagem e com a exploração das capacidades intuitivas e expressivas da imagem, permitindo ao espectador entrar numa relação subjectiva com o passado. E, no caso de Godard, isso irá orientá-lo em direcção a uma reformulação da sintaxe fílmica e à consequente amplificação das potencialidades do cinema em narrar a história.

Para uma história das histórias do cinema português
Authors: Cunha Paulo
Published: March 2016

Durante décadas, a história do cinema português não foi feita por historiadores ou académicos das ciências sociais e humanas, mas por curiosos, entusiastas e autores que estavam comprometidos com o próprio objeto. Foi, portanto, com alguma naturalidade que esses primeiros escritos, apesar de uma importância fundamental na recolha e inventariações das fontes, promovessem a criação de mitos que, de forma mais implícita ou explícita, manipulavam o passado do cinema português e condicionaram a sua construção histórica.Este dossiê temático reúne quatro ensaios que analisam e refletem sobre diferentes ideias e conceções de Cinema Português que foram sendo esboçadas em ações, textos e filmes ao longo das décadas. O propósito deste dossiê não é responder às perguntas, mas aproveitá-las para rever ideias feitas e também para lançar hipóteses de leitura para problemáticas clássicas e atuais na história do cinema português.

Authors: Gündüz Hasan Basri , Ömür Yunus Emre
Published: March 2016

The purpose of this is study is to reveal how the anxiety that the teachers who work in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul experience, due to the supervision process, predict their organizational cynicism levels. With this respect, the study was conducted on 274 teachers with the relational screening model. The “Supervision Anxiety Scale” and the “Organizational Cynicism Scale” were used to collect the data. The SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the data and arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Analysis and regression analyses were conducted. According to the study findings, there is a positive, moderate level and statistically significant level relationship between supervision anxiety and organizational cynicism levels of teachers. The regression analysis results suggest that supervision anxiety of teachers is a significant predictor of their organizational cynicism levels.
