From Wunderkammern to Kinect: The Creation of 'Shadow Worlds'
No full textThis paper focuses on two projects, Still Life No. 1 and Shadow Worlds | Writers' Rooms [Brontë Parsonage], to reveal the creative approaches the authors take to site, technology, and the self in their production of shadow worlds as sites of wonder. Informed by the uncanny (re-animation and the double) and an interest in the limen (thresholds in the real and virtual realms), the projects explore white light and infrared digital 3D scanning technologies as tools for capture and transformation. The authors will discuss how they suture the past with the present and ways that light slips secretly between us, revealing other realms

Life in the Georgian parsonage: Morals, Material Goods and the English Clergy
No full textAn innovative approach in the field of material culture and consumption studies, Life in the Georgian Parsonage looks at the houses, consumption and lifestyle of Church of England clergy in the long 18th century, linking moral debates and popular representations of the clergy to the material culture of their houses and their motivations as consumers.
By focusing on ethical and moral dimensions of consumer practices, it challenges established readings of consumption in the long 18th century as an essentially secular process in which goods were markers of wealth, status and taste, by bringing the clergyman into the frame – their lives, their habits and their homes.
Cross-disciplinary in its approach, combining material culture and religious and social history and sitting at the intersection of these fields, Life in the Georgian Parsonage fills a significant gap, enhancing in important ways our knowledge of this group as a crucial but understudied set of 18th-century consumers, while also contributing to understanding the parish clergy of England in the context of 18th-century society and culture. Bringing together a wide range of source material – from probate inventories to personal account books, satirical prints to sermons, diaries to designs for parsonages – the author reconstructs the material lives and household arrangements of the Georgian clergy in glorious detail. Examining the parish clergy over this period of profound social and religious change through the lens of consumption, and consumption through the lives of these clergymen, has a transformative impact both on these areas of enquiry and on our understanding of English society in the 18th century

Elizabeth Singer Rowe (1674-1737): from Parsonage to bestselling author
No full textBook synopsis: This volume provides a new context for women’s writing from the seventeenth through the end of the nineteenth century, highlighting the significant role of the parsonage and the parson himself for women’s education in those centuries. Cindy K. Renker and Susanne Bach's collection of essays is the first of its kind on the education, lives, and works of highly accomplished daughters of Protestant clergymen. Since this volume only represents a limited number of women raised and educated in parsonages, it will surely encourage more investigation of other women writers, translators, educators, etc. with similar backgrounds. Moreover, since this book takes a comparative and transnational approach by focusing on different regions of Europe and different centuries. This collection of essays is thus aimed at scholars in multiple fields such as British literature, German studies, gender studies, the history of women’s education, and social and cultural history
Strong, Fast, Fit, Lean, and Safe: A Positional Comparison of Physical and Physiological Qualities Within the 2020 Australian Women's Rugby League Team
No full textMinahan, C, Newans, T, Quinn, K, Parsonage, J, Buxton, S, and Bellinger, P. Strong, Fast, Fit, Lean, and Safe: A positional comparison of physical and physiological qualities within the 2020 Australian Women's Rugby League team. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2021-The purpose of the present study was to report the physical and physiological characteristics of elite women Rugby League (RL) players. Thirty-nine women (25.6 ± 4.3 years, 171.3 ± 7.7 cm, 83.5 ± 13.9 kg) from the 2020 Australian women's RL squad were recruited for this study. Players were categorized as adjustables (n = 7), backs (n = 15), or forwards (n = 17) for analysis. Each player was assessed for anthropometry, body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), speed (5, 10 and 20 m sprint times), lower-body power (countermovement jump), upper-body power (medicine ball throw and explosive push up force), estimated one repetition maximum (e1RM) bench press, squat and bench pull, isometric mid-thigh pull strength, eccentric knee flexor strength, isometric hip abduction and adduction, and intermittent endurance performance (30-15 intermittent fitness test; 30-15 IFT). Linear mixed models were performed to compare positional groups. Forwards were significantly heavier and had greater fat mass, fat-free mass, and body fat percentage compared with backs and adjustables (P < 0.01). Backs were faster over 20 m compared with forwards (P = 0.025), whereas forwards had a lower 30-15 IFT peak velocity and estimated V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak compared with backs and adjustables. Nonetheless, when including body mass in the model, there were no differences between groups in 30-15 IFT peak velocity. There were no significant differences in other variables. These results provide contemporary benchmark physical, physiological, and anthropometric data for elite women RL players, which can inform recruitment, selection, training, and testing.No Full Tex
Approximating the realist and fantasy modes through "Framley Parsonage" and "Tooth and Claw"
No full textIn investigating the relations between Jo Walton’s Tooth and Claw (2003) and its Victorian predecessor, Anthony Trollope’s Framley Parsonage (1861), this paper will demonstrate how the apparently disparate modes of fantasy and realism may be said to share the same fundamental principles.The choice of the texts makes this undertaking particularly interesting as Tooth and Claw is categorised within the fantastic mode because it literalises a particular element from its realist predecessor, Framley Parsonage. The scope of the paper will then aim to be at once broad, in making comments on the realist and fantasy genres while also narrowing its focus in interrogating these concepts through the chosen fictions. This paper attempts to go some way in answering these questions: The ‘realist,’ or rather, the ‘real,’ and the ‘fantastic’ appear to be diametrically opposed concepts, but are they so different when manifested through literary texts? What are the formal differences between the realist and the fantasy novel? What does the fantasy genre bring to the Victorian framework? How does a reading of a contemporary reworking alter our perspective of its predecessor?Bachelor of Arts in Englis

The target group is people with mobility, visual and hearing disabilities. The final thesis covers the following topics: history of the parsonage, basic documents, special requirements of heritage protection, location plan, architecture, interior architecture, structures, heating and ventilation, water supply and sewerage, electricity and weak-current installations, fire safety, occupational health and safety, environmental protection. This final thesis provides the solution for insulating the outer wall and ceilinged roof, with consideration for energy efficiency and the requirements of the National Heritage Board and the Rescue Board. In addition, a structural solution has been found for the destroyed intermediate ceiling of the socket floor. For this purpose, the author did heat calculations for the building’s exterior walls and the ceilinged roof as well as the strength calculations of the reinforced concrete intermediate ceiling of the socket floor and the reinforced concrete staircase of the southern stairwell. In addition, the author compiled a detailed tender budget for the restored parsonage at the contracting authority’s request. Both the interior and exterior architectural solutions have considered the special requirements of national heritage and the requirements for people with special needs. The graphics of the final thesis consist of the location plan and views compiled on the basis of sketch and measurement drawings, floor plans, and cross-cuts. The construction project of the parsonage is in the stage of preliminary project at the time of writing this thesis. The next stage is the main project
The Defying Expectations exhibition at the Brontë Parsonage Museum: a reflection on contemporary curatorial practices
No full text© 2024 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis GroupThis article reflects on the curatorial practices in the Brontë Parsonage Museum’s 2022 Defying Expectations costume exhibition, to assess its strengths and weaknesses and to identify opportunities for similar exhibitions to be launched and improved upon in the future. The Defying Expectations exhibition included interactive art installations, recreations and illustrative reconstructions alongside traditional display methods, and this article evaluates the effectiveness of such a blended approach. Written from the perspective of a museum professional, the article considers how the exhibition developed contemporary curatorial practices and its legacy. Drawing on heritage studies and curatorship, the article juxtaposes information gleaned from literary analysis with an assessment of material culture. It assesses the exhibition’s aim of reinterpreting Brontë’s reputation as choosing plain and practical clothing by foregrounding her interest in colourful and multicultural textiles, which raises questions of individual, local and national identity as well as regarding the effects of colonisation.Unfunde
