Place, Encounter, and the Making of Communities:The Lower Sirwan/Upper Diyala River Valley from Prehistory to the Iron Age
Get PDFThis book sketches the first archaeological history of the lower Sirwan/upper Diyala river valley of north-east Iraq and adjacent landscapes over a period of c. 12,000 years, from the earliest signs of human presence until the mid-first millennium BCE, based on data gathered between 2013 and 2023 by the Sirwan Regional Project (SRP).The central research objective of the SRP is to move beyond traditional historical topoi and their predominantly external and state-centric perspectives that have dominated narratives of the region thus far. Instead, we develop an in-depth, archaeological understanding of the nature of the region’s past communities, their cultural and economic practices, the modes of socio-political organisation they developed, adopted, and rejected, and their long-term developments.In order to reconstruct past Sirwan lifeways, the book interweaves regional-scale datasets with the results of ongoing and completed excavations at the Late Chalcolithic site of Shakhi Kora and the Late Bronze to Early Iron Age site of Kani Masi, as well as the results of a wide range of archaeological, Assyriological, art historical, and archaeometric analyses
Matisse, L'Atelier rouge
No full textCréé en 1911, L'Atelier rouge d'Henri Matisse est devenu l'une des œuvres les plus influentes de l'histoire de l'art moderne. Acquise en 1949 par le Museum of modem art (MoMA) de New York, où elle est depuis exposée, cette toile représente l'atelier de l'artiste à Issy-les-Moulineaux, en proche banlieue parisienne. Elle montre un espace rempli de peintures, de meubles et d'objets décoratifs. La décision radicale de Matisse de recouvrir de rouge la majeure partie de la surface du tableau a fasciné des générations de chercheurs et d'artistes, mais il restait encore beaucoup à découvrir sur la genèse et l'histoire de l'œuvre. Cet ouvrage abondamment illustré accompagne l'exposition consacrée à L'Atelier rouge qui réunit, pour la première fois depuis qu'ils ont quitté l'atelier de l'artiste, les tableaux, sculptures et objets qui y figurent - qu'il s'agisse des trois peintures aujourd'hui conservées au Danemark dans les collections du SMK - Statens Muséum for Kunst, dont Le Luxe (II) (1907-1908), ou de pièces moins connues qui n'ont été localisées que récemmen

Enhancing access to Danish radio and television archives through advanced speech-to-text technologies
No full textThis project aims to leverage the implementation of advanced Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems to enable text-based searches within the Danish Royal Library’s extensive radio and television archives. Based on the Whisper ASR model, this research demonstrates how fine-tuning the model to Danish-language content can make these vast archives significantly more accessible and searchable for research
