The blue color on the Ottoman ceramic artifacts can be studied from the perspectives of different sciences: in terms of color aesthetics, which is a kind of philosophy of beauty, or as part of the science of photography and graphics. Additionally, for some communities the importance of this color lies at the heart of anthropology, but it is also at the core Islamic art and archeology. Blue is one of the original colors that humans have known since ancient times. It is associated with the elements of nature as it symbolizes the sky, sea, and serenity. This color is especially important in popular beliefs as we find a lot of amulets that use the blue color especially those which are believed to avert the eyes of envy. The blue color has appeared on many of the Ottoman Islamic artifacts, especially ceramic artifacts, since ceramics were among the most used materials in life which expressed the social and intellectual life of both artists and manufacturers. The research will analyze the importance of the blue color of ceramic artifacts in the study of heritage and archaeology and how these blue decorative elements on these ceramic pieces relate to social life.

The social life of the inhabitants of England during the years of strife which brought about the destruction of the feudal nobility, gave to the middle class a new position in the State, and freed the serf from the shackles of bondage, has been for some time past a subject of peculiar interest to the student of English history. If we desire to gain an accurate knowledge of the social habits and customs prevalent during this period of political disturbance, we cannot do better than direct our attention towards that part of the country which was the least affected by the contest between the Houses of York and Lancaster, the eastern district of England, which since the days of King John had enjoyed a remarkable immunity from civil war. Here the powerful lords of the North and South found little support; the vast estates of the old feudal barons were broken up into numerous independent manors. Moreover the arts of peace, in the shape of the mysteries of trade, manufactures, and commerce, widely flourished among the inhabitants of these regions.

The Social

Inventing the Social, edited by Noortje Marres, Michael Guggenheim and Alex Wilkie, showcases recent efforts to develop new ways of knowing society that combine social research with creative practice. With contributions from leading figures in sociology, architecture, geography, design, anthropology, and digital media, the book provides practical and conceptual pointers on how to move beyond the customary distinctions between knowledge and art, and on how to connect the doing, researching and making of social life in potentially new ways. Presenting concrete projects with a creative approach to researching social life as well as reflections on the wider contexts from which these projects emerge, this collection shows how collaboration across social science, digital media and the arts opens up timely alternatives to narrow, instrumentalist proposals that seek to engineer behaviour and to design community from scratch. To invent the social is to recognise that social life is always already creative in itself and to take this as a starting point for developing different ways of combining representation and intervention in social life.

Final Essay

Opening ParagraphIn an article, ‘A Contribution to the Study of Zande Culture’, which appeared in Africa in 1960 (vol. xxx, no. 4), I discussed the certain or probable borrowing by the original Azande, the Ambomu, in the course of their migrations, of their main cultivated plants, e.g. eleusine, maize, ground-nuts, manioc, sweet potatoes, bananas, and tobacco, from assimilated or neighbouring peoples. In a second article, ‘A Further Contribution to the Study of Zande Culture’ (Africa, vol. xxxiii, no. 3, 1963), the discussion of cultural borrowings was taken into the field of artifacts and technology: building, smithery, pot-making, carving, plaiting, oracles, and medicines. In the present and final essay some examples are given of borrowing in areas of the social life other than those of cultivation of plants and the arts and crafts.

The Village

The purpose of this article is to show how conceptual systems of classification in the case of Bobo ethnography enter into the construction of social life without narrowly determining people's conduct. The southern Bobo recognise both patrilineal and matrilineal descent categories in which people are included by patrifiliation and matrifiliation. The inclusion occurs at the birth of the person and there are cultural mechanisms that make the change or the misrepresentation of this identity especially difficult. However, the unilineal sets do not frequently materialise as social groups. Agnatic segments may join each other to form the core of associations which constitute the social groups most in evidence in the political and economic life of the village. These associations in turn establish larger confederations of varying strength and different time depth on the basis of common settlement history and political interest. All these forms of association are achieved without the constituent segments losing their separate agnatic identities. The article shows how land, and offices in important cults such as the public do and Kono can be claimed on the basis of any of these organisational principles in a political game that implicitly questions the constitutive norms that shape community life.

The research highlights on the aesthetics of artistic expression in the products of the Islamic photography schools to highlight the most important aesthetic and aesthetic values ​​by analyzing selected models of those products that the Islamic photographer was able to employ the various life data and its multiple vocabulary to create visual spaces that are characterized by balanced symmetry. He distributes his vocabulary and characters and the contents of his photographic art through a visual text that gave special attention to these productions. These products came as a clear, articulated and expressive view of themselves, inspired by their ideas and implications from the social life of Islamic society. The current research aims to reveal the aesthetics of artistic expression in the productions of Islamic photography schools. Therefore, the researcher adopted the analytical descriptive approach in building the research procedures as it is the most scientific method suitable to achieve the objective of the current research. The current research community consists products of Islamic art photography schools in (Iraqi - Mughal in Iran - Timorese school - Ottoman Turkish photography) dating back to middle Ages. Since the research community is very broad, the researcher resorted to selecting an objective sample consisting of (4) models: 1- Baghdad School  (Al-Barqa'a Center- The Hajj procession) 2- (zal under Roodbe's balcony) Shahnama Ferdosi 3- Elephant's Hour. The main conclusions are: pictures expressed a symbolic message, reflected the customs and traditions of those times. 2 - Misrepresentation was present by drawing shapes and exaggerating disposing of proportions contrary to the truth. 3 - coordinating the constituent components of the pictures and creating balanced and unified relationships with each other to achieve aesthetic expression. The most important conclusions are: 1- The value of the creative achievement, the aesthetic and artistic inventory, and the power of expression in Islamic art through their expressions of the soul of society, showing the intellectual level of the Muslim artist. 2- The Islamic decoration was used in the products of Islamic schools to exalt the material existence based on the aesthetic shape which represented by the centrality of man.

Rooted in Italian neorealism, Marxist theory, and centuries of Christian art and music, Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Il Vangelo secondo Matteo reactivates the Gospel against the backdrop of Italian Marxism and social life in the mid-twentieth century. Through a hermeneutical reflection, this paper argues for the film as a central moment in the mediation and reception of the Christian story. Pasolini’s transgressive and poetic cinema partakes in and expands a hermeneutical dynamic at the core of the Christian story. The film’s documentary style, political subtexts, and eclectic setting highlight how the Christian story is a lived historical experience and thus does not transcend the social or historical circumstances of its telling and retelling. In a reciprocal encounter, both film and Gospel reveal the Christian story’s multiple textuality. Taking this as its cue, this article explores how Pasolini’s Matthew reveals the role of cinema as a site of hermeneutical and Christological reflection.

Scholarly Attention

This is the first dedicated study of the classical-style, Latin didactic poetry produced by the Society of Jesus in the early modern period. The Jesuits were the most prolific composers of such poetry, teaching all manner of arts and sciences: meteorology and magnetism, raising chickens and children, the arts of sculpture and engraving, writing and conversation, the social and medicinal benefits of coffee and chocolate, the pious life and the urbane life. The book accounts for this investment in so secular a genre by considering the Society's educational and ideological values and practices. Extensive quotation from the poems reveals their literary qualities, compositional methods, and traditions. The poems also command scholarly attention for what they reveal about social, cultural, and intellectual life in this period.

Indian Painting

English : The trend of depiction has been prevalent in humans since ancient times. In order to develop its cultural development, the organs of culture were developed by man. Painting was also one of them. This is the reason why Manav and wild animals living in the cave made pictures and embodied their feelings. Rajasthani painting has a rich nature and important place in Indian painting. The painting of a province or city brings to light the social and cultural life of that place and makes it immortal. Timely costumes and expressions are the core of this culture. Many styles have been coordinated under Rajasthani style. Hindi : चित्रण की प्रवत्ति मानव में प्राचीन काल से चली आ रही है। अपना सांस्कृतिक विकास करने के लिए मनुष्य ने संस्कृति के जिन अंगों का विकास किया था। उनमें चित्रकला भी एक थी। यही कारण है कि गुफा में रहने वाले मनव व वन्य पशु संम्बधी चित्रों को बनाया ओर अपनी भावनाओं  को मूर्तरूप दिया। भारतीय चित्रकला में राजस्थान की चित्रकला का सम्पन्न स्वरूप और महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है। प्रान्त या नगर की चित्रकला उस स्थान के सामाजिक और सांस्कृतिक जीवन को प्रकाश में लाकर उसे अमर बना देती है। समयानुरूप वेशभूषा व भाव भंगिमा यही संस्कृति का मर्म है। राजस्थानी शैली के अन्तर्गत अनेक शैलियों का समन्वय किया है।
