Lorsch, Jouarre et l'appareil décoratif du Val de Loire
No full textFor a long time, historians of art and archaeologists have remarked on the stylistic relationship between the Lorsch Torhalle, the west wall of opus reticulatum at the crypt of Saint-Paul, Jouarre and the eleventh and twelfth century churches in the lower Loire Valley that have l'"appareil décoratif" on their exteriors. This study analyzes the historical relationship of the three works and fînds that Robert the Strong, who originated from Lorsch and who became missus of the western part of Neustria during the mid-ninth century, is the historical link. It is postulated, moreover, that the decorated walls at Jouarre and in the Val of Loire were designed as imitations of the Lorsch Torhalle.Depuis longtemps déjà les historiens d'art et les archéologues ont fait remarquer le rapport stylistique entre le décor du Torhalle de l'abbaye de Lorsch, le mur occidental en opus reticulatum de la crypte Saint-Paul de Jouarre et les églises du XIe s. situées dans la basse vallée de la Loire et dont les façades extérieures sont ornées d'un appareil décoratif. Après examen du rapport historique entre ces trois œuvres, cette étude conclut que le lien historique en est Robert le Fort, originaire de Lorsch, qui, au milieu du IXe s., devient le missus de la Neustrie occidentale. En outre il est postulé que les murs décorés de Jouarre et du Val de Loire sont des imitations du Torhalle de Lorsch.Watkinson Barbara A. Lorsch, Jouarre et l'appareil décoratif du Val de Loire.

Open Access Books and the Lever Press
No full textSeveral high profile projects in North America and Europe are exploring the potential of flipped publishing models for long form digital scholarship in the humanities and qualitative sciences. Although the mechanisms proposed for achieving it vary, the “big idea” is that the costs of publishing monographs should be borne by the producer (author, institution, government agency) rather than the consumer. Such a system could offer economic advantages to publishers and libraries and theoretically better aligns funding responsibility with beneficiaries. However, the incentives for the authors themselves to engage with a flipped model are poorly defined, administrators are concerned about the financial implications, and librarians are struggling to identify thow they add value in this new ecosystem. This presentation suggests ways to better align the benefits of open access with the interests of those who care about scholarly book publishing and explores some implications for the design of new publishing programs and platforms. Initiatives underway at Michigan Publishing, the publishing division of the University of Michigan Library which includes a university press, are described (several are supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation) and are put in the context of other national and international experiments in open access book publishing, including an important initiative from within the Liberal Arts College community, the Lever Press.-- Charles Watkinson is Director of University of Michigan Press and Associate University Librarian for Publishing

A Study of Direct Author Subvention for Publishing Humanities Books at Two Universities: A Report to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation by Indiana University and University of Michigan
No full textThis report was produced as the main deliverable from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant 41400692, “A Study of Direct Author Subvention for Publishing Humanities Books at Two Universities.” The Indiana University team led by PI Carolyn Walters, consisted of Jason Baird Jackson, Scott Smart, Nick Fitzgerald, Gary Dunham and Shayna Pekala. The University of Michigan team led by PI James Hilton consisted of Paul Courant, Sidonie Smith, Meredith Kahn, Charles Watkinson, Jim Ottaviani, and Aaron McCollough. Lead authorship of the different sections in this report is indicated in the opening paragraphs.This white paper presents recommendations about how a system of monographic publication fully funded by subventions from authors’ parent institutions might function, based on research activities supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at Indiana University and the University of Michigan. While the contributors present a strong argument for implementing such an “author subvention” system, they describe a number of challenges and potential unintended consequences. Particular issues discussed include how to determine which publishers would be eligible for support, how best to support untenured faculty, and how to avoid disenfranchising scholars at less well-funded institutions.Andrew W.
