Two sets of objects, supposed to have been produced during the Qing Dynasty (1662-1912) at the Forbidden City ('imperial bowls' of the Baur Foundation, Geneva) and in the customs district of Guangzhou (Musee Ariana, Geneva), were analyzed with pXRF and also for some objects with Raman microspectroscopy also on-site. The heterogeneity of the colored zones, in three spatial directions, requires the development of a new methodology. We focused particular attention on the cobalt used in the colored areas and marks, drawn either on the body layer (standard underglaze) or on the glaze itself (overglaze). Comparison is made with previous data on Chinese and Vietnamese porcelains from the Yuan (1271-1368) and Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) periods. Combined data for objects attributed to Guangzhou from the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods indicates the use of the same raw materials containing cobalt, associated with arsenic, nickel, zinc, copper and bismuth, according to the European sources. Similarity of the glaze composition and impurities promotes the production of the glazed body with the same raw materials as those used at Jingdezhen. A consistent shift in data for Qianlong style items, which are significantly richer in manganese, is compatible with their partial mixing with Asian cobalt. The deliberate selection of conflicting objects-namely, examples belonging to the other places of production or different periods-are well-observed outside the 'Guangzhou' cluster. Some artifacts have anachronistic purity characteristics that support a production after ca. 1850. For instance, two objects on which certain attributions had been made concerning the stylistic analysis are definitive examples of ceramics using a refined 'cobalt', and therefore now may be assigned to the later production period of the first half of the 19th century.Publication Metadata only Community and generosity(Harvard Univ Library, 2012) N/A; Redford, Scott; Researcher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/A; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Fabricating "cool" heritage for Northern Ireland: Game of Thrones tourism(Wiley, 2020) Baschiera, Stefano; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Rappas, İpek Azime Çelik; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 183702N/APublication Metadata only Mas'ud I of Ikonion the overlooked Victor of the twelfth-century Anatolian game of thrones(Slovansky Ustav Akad Ceske Republiky, 2018) Lau, Maximilian; N/A; Shliakhtin, Roman; Researcher; N/A; N/AThis paper throws the spotlight on a ruler, Mas'ud I of Ikonion, who has previously only appeared as an antagonist, highlighting that this seemingly peripheral figure was in fact one of the most able political operators of twelfth-century Anatolia. The reason he has been overlooked in this way it simple: all contemporary and near-contemporary sources on Mas'ud come from his rivals, and the image they portray thus says more about the concerns of that author and people than about the individual himself: Analysing these portrayals will, therefore, not only allow us to better understand those rivals and their policies towards the Turks of Ikonion, but also to expose this overshadowed figure. What emerges is a ruler who successfully played more powerful rivals against each other, particularly in becoming an occasional client of both Byzantium and the Danishmendids, and who even when knocked down came back stronger. Mas'ud's success was such that it was his polity that entrenched the Turkish hold over Anatolia, and which would in turn lead to the emergence of the Ottomans themselves.Publication Metadata only The borders of "Europe": autonomy of migration, tactics of bordering(Johns Hopkins Univ Press, 2018) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Rappas, İpek Azime Çelik; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 183702N/APublication Metadata only Biometrics and anthropometrics: the twins of Turkish modernity(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2008) Department of Sociology; Ergin, Murat; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 106427In the first half of the twentieth century, eugenic debates and policies revolved around positive (encouraging the reproduction of 'superior' individuals) and negative (preventing the reproduction of 'inferior' individuals) applications for the purpose of improving hereditary characteristics and preventing social problems. However, their particular manifestations varied because eugenic agendas responded differently to putative social problems in different local contexts. Despite the wealth of scholarly studies on eugenics, particularly in Germany and the United States, eugenic debates in Turkey have so far not received any attention. The significance of eugenics in the Turkish context stems from its conflation with republican modernization efforts. While Turkish republican reformers were diligently searching for anthropometric proof of the whiteness, Europeanness and ancientness of Turks, they also supported biometric scholarship that proposed eugenic measures to protect and improve recently 'discovered' historical essences. At a time when western eugenicists were classifying non-western peoples as inferior, Turkish reformers creatively adopted the methods and vocabulary of race science to establish the Turks' innate ability to modernize. In order to demonstrate the wide appeal of eugenics in the Turkish context, Ergin presents findings from a content analysis of educational conferences organized by the government between 1938 and 1941, and argues that the future-oriented project of biometrics was as important as the past-oriented project of anthropometrics for the formulation of Turkishness in negotiation with race and modernity.Publication Metadata only Transformed landscapes: the choreographic displacement of location and locomotion in film(Palgrave, 2006) Cook, John; N/A; N/A; N/AN/A
