ResumoA arte de lavrar a rocha em variadas formas geométricas e figurativas foi amplamente usada no século XVIII, tinha como finalidade ornamentar e estruturar edificações de diversos usos e formas. Mas esta arte foi se tornando cada vez menos usual, devido ao surgimento de materiais que possibilitavam agilidade na construção e por serem economicamente mais viáveis. Assim com o desuso da cantaria, as técnicas e seus executores foram diminuindo e se perdendo no adentrar do século XX. A origem da arte da cantaria torna-se vulgar quando comparados com os atuais produtos tecnológicos, neste contexto mercadológico e modista é preciso resgatar o reconhecimento da obra de arte, e esse resgate se dá através da comunidade em que ela se insere, o envolvimento efetivo, tanto através do conhecimento técnico como cultural dos elementos pétreos, trará o empoderamento necessário para o surgimento de uma ação mais efetiva na conservação da matéria e restauração das obras de arte. O objeto tomado como referência de estudo é a Ponte da Cadeia, localizada na cidade de São João del Rei/MG, datada do ano de 1798, em pedra e cal, com cantaria miúda de picão em todas suas faces e lados. Palavras Chave: Ponte da Cadeia, cantaria, empoderamento, comunidade, projeto de restauraçãoAbstractASCENSION AND DECLINE OF STONEWORK ART. CASE STUDY: PONTE DA CADEIA. The art of plowing a rock in various geometric and figurative forms was widely used in the eighteenth century, its purpose was to decorate and structure buildings of various uses and shapes. But this art became less and less usual, due to the appearance of materials that allowed agility in construction and because they were economically more feasible. Thus with the disuse of the Stone work, the techniques and their executors were diminishing and getting lost in the entering of XX century. The origin of the stonework art becomes vulgar when compared with the current technological products, in this marketing and modiste context it is necessary to rescue the recognition of a work of art, and this rescue takes place through the community in which it is inserted, either an effective involvement throught he technical and cultural knowledge of the Stone elements, will bring a necessary empowerment to the emergence of a more effective action in a matter conservation and restoration works of art. The Bridge of the Chain is the object taken as reference, located in the city of São João del Rei / MG, dated from 1798, in stone and lime, with a little of abrasión Stone work on all its faces and sides.Keywords: Chain Bridge, masonry, stonework, empowerment, community

What made Athens different from other multi-layered cities absorbed into the Ottoman Empire was the strength of its ancient reputation for learning that echoed across the Arabic and Ottoman worlds. But not only sages were remembered and Islamized in Athens; sometimes political figures were too. In the early eighteenth century a mufti of Athens, Mahmud Efendi, wrote a rarely studiedHistory of the City of Sages (Tarih-i Medinetü’l-Hukema)in which he transformed Pericles into a wise leader on a par with the Qur'anic King Solomon and linked the Parthenon mosque to Solomon's temple in Jerusalem.

Case Study Data

This article promotes the value of GIS methodologies to integrate and analyze a range of historic sources dating to the eighteenth century, utilizing Charleston, South Carolina as a case study. Data compiled from the 1790 Federal Census, the 1790 Charleston trade directory, and Ichnography of Charleston 1788 provide vital and complementary evidence that allows the population of the city to be located, which in turn provides a means of assessing late eighteenth-century residency patterns and the enslaved urban population. The value of data visualization is explored, underscoring the need for historians to engage with visual representations of data to communicate research results.

Over Time

The digital re-creation of a past city represents more than a mere depiction of its historical awareness; it also represents its imaginability. In retrospect, the imaginability of the city corresponds to the outcome of various perceptions that we have acquired of it over time, and which currently confers us with a certain degree of accuracy in its readability. The imaginability of the city is therefore a determining factor in virtually re-creating the latter and subsequently converting it into a memoryscape. This theory can be validated by the specific case study of Lisbon, Portugal, which has during the last few years been the subject of at least four projects that sought to virtually re-create the city’s past. Despite presenting themselves distinctively with different technological applications, the four projects held the same starting point; the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755 (a major disruptive event in its history), and were all focused on presenting the cityscape that was lost as a result. Lisbon’s iconography from the sixteenth century to the mid-eighteenth century (drawings, engravings, and paintings) was used as crucial data.

This article is a pilot for a larger project on the emotions of the suppression of the Society of Jesus, viewed through the prism of Latin writings by Jesuits of the period. It proposes a case study of Portuguese (ex-)Jesuit, Emanuel de Azevedo, who lived and suffered internal exile in Italy (from Rome to the Veneto) in the second half of the eighteenth century. Azevedo composed a large quantity of Latin verse during these unhappy years, from a four-book epic poem on the return of the Jesuits expelled from the American colonies to a twelve-book description of the city of Venice. The main focus here is Azevedo’s collection of Latin verse epistles, Epistolae ad heroas (Venice, 1781), loosely modeled on Ovid. Azevedo writes Latin verse both to temper his own sadness about the suppression and to console Spanish, Portuguese, and American confrères living in exile in the Papal States and in Russia under Catherine the Great.

Study Format

In this paper I describe the mediation of specific resources and learning strategies for sustaining pupils’ perceptions of a work of art. Participants in the research were aged between 8 and 11 years and of mixed gender and ability. Three complementary forms of intervention were designed. The first took the form of a video to explain the artist’s work and her working methods. In the second intervention I used the semantic differential instrument to support pupils’ perceptual exploration and interpretation of a piece of sculpture made by the artist. In the third intervention I used a semistructured interview to prompt pupils to evaluate and reflect about their recorded interpretations of the work in question. These interviews are presented in a case study format. The results show that the interventions had a substantial influence on the way participants were able to structure their perceptions and justify interpretations of the meaning of the sculpture in question.

The city of Mocha in Yemen was one of the most important Red Sea ports of the early modern Arab world. In this essay, I examine the urban structures that governed the needs and practices of merchants in the city during the first half of the eighteenth century. Drawing on contemporary Arabic chronicles, archival European trade documents, historical photographs, and fieldwork in the city, I document the conspicuous absence of a network of public trade structures, like the urban khan, the expected locus of trade in an Arab city devoted to international commerce, and I provide evidence of the use of the merchant's house as the central location for trade activity, commercial negotiations, storage of merchandise, and lodging of foreign merchants. This case study presents a form of commercial interaction that questions a fixed private identity for the house in Mocha and draws on a maritime system of interaction to account for such a unique form of trade in an Arab city that served as an important Indian Ocean port.

This present article is a case study that seeks to understand the multiplicity of the concept of Reexistence through the Barcelona Pavillion, by Mies van der Rohe. Through an analysis of the context in which the work was thought, of its structure and its design, it seeks to make clear the unique legacy the work has in the twentieth century and it is capable to give new meanings to the idea of Reexistence. In this sense, this notion is both applicable to the bodily experience of the individual in the city, as a work of art, and to notion had about Germany in the international artistic community in a delicate moment for the country, as a symbol of philosophical and constructive thought.

As destination of choice for many short-term study abroad programs, Berlin offers students of German language, culture and history a number of sites richly layered with significance. The complexities of these sites and the competing narratives that surround them are difficult for students to grasp in a condensed period of time. Using approaches from the spatial humanities, this article offers a case study for enhancing student learning through the creation of digital maps and itineraries in a campus-based course for subsequent use during a three-week program in Berlin. In particular, the concept of deep mapping is discussed as a means of augmenting understanding of the city and its history from a narrative across time to a narrative across the physical space of the city. As itineraries, these course-based projects were replicated on site. In moving from the digital environment to the urban landscape, this article concludes by noting meanings uncovered and narratives formed as we moved through the physical space of the city.

Scottish History

Hugh Trevor-Roper (Lord Dacre) made several iconoclastic interventions in the field of Scottish history. These earned him a notoriety in Scottish circles which, while not undeserved, has led to the reductive dismissal of Trevor-Roper's ideas, particularly his controversial interpretation of the Scottish Enlightenment, as the product of Scotophobia. In their indignation Scottish historians have missed the wider issues which prompted Trevor-Roper's investigation of the Scottish Enlightenment as a fascinating case study in European cultural history. Notably, Trevor-Roper used the example of Scotland to challenge Weberian-inspired notions of Puritan progressivism, arguing instead that the Arminian culture of north-east Scotland had played a disproportionate role in the rise of the Scottish Enlightenment. Indeed, working on the assumption that the essence of Enlightenment was its assault on clerical bigotry, Trevor-Roper sought the roots of the Scottish Enlightenment in Jacobitism, the counter-cultural alternative to post-1690 Scotland's Calvinist Kirk establishment. Though easily misconstrued as a dogmatic conservative, Trevor-Roper flirted with Marxisant sociology, not least in his account of the social underpinnings of the Scottish Enlightenment. Trevor-Roper argued that it was the rapidity of eighteenth-century Scotland's social and economic transformation which had produced in one generation a remarkable body of political economy conceptualising social change, and in the next a romantic movement whose powers of nostalgic enchantment were felt across the breadth of Europe.
