CFP: Prints in Books: session at AAH2017 (Loughborough, 6-8 Apr 17)

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Elizabeth Savage" <leu21(a)cam.ac.uk> Date: Jun 16, 2016 08:50 > 2017 Association of Art Historians annual conference > Loughborough University, 6-8 April 2017 > > Call for papers for all-day session > Prints in Books: The Materiality, Art History and Collection of Illustrations > Convenor: Elizabeth Savage, Cambridge University, leu21(a)cam.ac.uk > Deadline: 7 Nov 2016 > > Book illustrations, especially from the hand-press period (1450-1830), are an essential but traditionally overlooked source of art historical information. Although the hierarchies of fine art over popular art are dissolving and modern disciplinary distinctions between text and image (or art and book) are giving way to cross-disciplinary and holistic approaches to printed material, printed images that happen to be inside books often fall outside the remits of art historical, literary, bibliographical and material research. > > One reason is that practical and academic barriers impede access to the art historical information that book illustrations can provide. Due to incompatible cataloguing standards adopted by libraries and art museums, researchers can struggle to identify book illustrations across collections. Cataloguing protocols may reduce hundreds of significant woodcuts in a book to the single word ‘illustrated’; some world-leading graphic art digitisation initiatives exclude book illustrations. As the global digitised corpus expands, will book illustrations be more represented in print scholarship or will they continue to fall into the gap between art and book? As material objects and visual resources, should they be considered bibliographical, art historical or iconographical material? And how do such classifications influence their interpretation? > > This interdisciplinary, all-day session seeks to establish a platform for discussion about the position of printed book illustrations in graphic art scholarship. Theoretical and object-based papers related to any aspect of collecting, cataloguing and interpreting printed book illustrations, broadly defined, are welcome, as are papers that explore the materiality, iconography, historiography or art history of pictures printed inside books. > > Please email 250-word paper proposals, including your name, affiliation and email, to the convenor by 7 Nov 2017. Full proposal guidelines at http://www.aah.org.uk/annual-conference/sessions2017/session25. > > > With best wishes > > Elizabeth > > Elizabeth Savage PhD > British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Centre of Material Texts, Faculty of English > Research Fellow, History of Art > Faculty of English | Cambridge University | 9 West Road | Cambridge CB3 9DP > cambridge.academia.edu/ElizabethSavage > > >

Fwd: FREEMASONS IN GREECE

by KALAMOS BOOKS

An interesting book, and a new illustrated article on the Masons in Greece 1] Tsarouchas, Kosta. He Masonia Stin Ellada . Athens / Ioannina: Ekdoseis Dodoni, 1988. Reprint. French Wraps. Near Fine Comprehensive account of the Masonic Order in Greece (and Cyprus) "O rolos tis stin agora tou aiona, he altheia gia ti diaspasi poioi einai oi Masonoi, biomechanoi-trapezities kai politikoi, 3,500 onoma" 466p.illus. bibliography. (includes a list of locations of Masonic lodges in Greece and Cyprus and lists of Greek Masons around the world) [WorldCat lists only 6 copies in the USA] 2] Use the link to see pictures of the Masonic lodge in Athens Exposed: The Interior of the Athens Masonic Lodge [Pics] By Mary Harris - Jun 1, 2016 http://greece.greekreporter.com/2016/06/01/exposed-the-interior-of-the-athe… The National Grand Lodge of Greece, at the corner of Acharnon and Sourmeli streets, in Athens was shrouded in a veil of secrecy. People could only imagine the Masonic secrets hidden within its walls until recently, when photographs of the lodge were posted on its revamped website. A hint as to the reason for the lodge’s decision to give the public a peak into its building is outlined: “The National Grand Lodge of Greece believes that more people should be acquainted with the Masonic culture. The Internet, being a communication channel with enormous possibilities, has developed into a splendid means of bringing people closer to each other.” The first lodge in Greece was created on the isle of Corfu, in 1782, under Venetial rulee. Called Beneficenza (Good Deeds) it was a branch of the Grand Lodge of Verona at Padua, Italy. In 1810, Dionysios Romas joined the two lodges of Corfu into one establishment, creating the first grand lodge in Greece in 1811. It became known as the Serene Grand Orient of Greece in Anatolian Corfu. Over the years masonry spread over the Ionian islands. Masons, on their site, note that their contribution to the Greek War of Independence was huge. They claim to have had numerous important revolutionaries among their fold including Palaion Patron Germanos, Patriarch Grigorios V, Theodoros Kolokotronis, Alexandros Mavrokordatos, Nikolaos Ypsilandis, Alexandros Mourouzis and Yiannis Kapodistrias. In 1843, the lodge stopped working, however a new building was created in Athens in 1863, known as Panellinion. Later, other lodges were created, joining together and seeking the establishment of an independent lodge of Greece in 1936 with the revision of the Constitution for Free-Masons that year. After Word War II, masonry in Greece took a more spiritual turn. -- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal -- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal
