Glass Beadmaking and Enamel Lampwork in Paris, 1547-1610: Archival and Archaeological Data
Full text linkThis article presents beadmaking in Paris during the second half of the 16th century as seen through period documents and artifacts. Parisian archives document beadmaking by artisans called patenôtriers who made a wide range of glass buttons and jewelry, including beads. Records of the patenôtriers’ guild provide an idea of the number of artisans engaged in this activity, while notarial contracts and estate inventories reveal individual careers and the material dimension of beadmaking in Paris. Patenôtriers obtained their materials – soda glass and enamel supplied as tubes, rods, or ingots – from glassmakers in rural France, Altare in Italy, and a small glassworks that operated in the suburb of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in 1598-1608. They exported rosary beads to Iberia and trade beads to North America. In European terms, Paris was a major beadmaking center during the 16th century and we know its products from a small number of archaeological finds and museum holdings
Raúl Ruiz, Poetics Of Cinema And “Intentionality”: Unworking The Soul’s Standardization Against The Government Of The Living.
No full textIn the 13th century in Europe, with a focus between the Andalusian world and the Catholic reaction in the peninsula and in Paris, a metaphysical battle took place over the determination of what the “soul” is.[1] A hermeneutical dispute over the concept of soul in Aristotle—the invention of the “Arab Aristotle” and the “European Aristotle”—that would be decisive for the history of the “West” (the Occident), but not as a “central conflict”, since such is the fantasy of the “West and its other”, so that we will have to clarify, in what follows, how else we understand here the nature of this cleavage. For the moment, we can say that in the metaphysical battle of the 13th century two “enemy” ways of understanding the soul clashed: 1) according to the falásifa Averroes, the soul is understood as the radical potentiality of immanent exposure of the finite animal to the imminence of the outside, to the world of forms in the being in common in the midst of the event that exceeds it, in a supernumerary logic of being in the world and knowledge; and, in reaction to such a “doctrine,” 2) according to Saint Thomas Aquinas, the soul is understood as the personal unity and “form of the body” of the animal—a body subjected to the form (law, word, image, “mask”) that turns it into a persona—whose unity depends on the unity of the world as the order of words and things and events—a unitary order guaranteed by a theological author and meta-reader in pure act—and on the insemination of that order in the perceptive, intellectual and practical soul

Full text linkExcavation of the Pointe aux Vieux site, an 18th-century Acadian house located on western Prince Edward Island, Canada, yielded a significant assortment of beads. Among the glass and bone specimens are ten black beads decorated with undulating yellow lines around the middle. Commonly called “rattlesnake” beads by collectors, this stylistic form has been found at many sites in North America as well as elsewhere in the world. Unlike the other beads, however, the ones from Pointe aux Vieux are not glass but formed by melting an igneous rock called “proterobas” to form a totally opaque black glass. The only known source of beads made from this material is the Fichtelgebirge region of northeastern Bavaria. While black ball buttons made of proterobas have been encountered at various sites in the eastern United States and Western Europe, this is the first recorded instance of proterobas beads in North America. It is hoped that this article will lead to more such beads being identified in archaeological collections so that their distribution and temporal range may be determined
