Portuguese Ships on Japanese Namban Screens
No full textNamban screens are a well-known Japanese art form that was produced between the end of the 16th century and throughout the 17th century. More than 90 of these screens survive today. They possess substantial historical value because they display scenes of the first European activities in Japan. Among the subjects depicted on Namban screens, some of the most intriguing are ships: the European ships of the Age of Discovery.
Namban screens were created by skillful Japanese traditional painters who had the utmost respect for detail, and yet the European ships they depicted are often anachronistic and strangely. On maps of the Age of Discovery, the author discovered representations of ships that are remarkably similar to the ships represented on the Namban screens. Considering the hypothesis that ships of some of the Namban screens are copies of ships represented on contemporary European cartography, the author realized that one particular historical event connecting Europe and Japan may be the source of these representations. This was the first visit of the Japanese Christian embassy, the Tensho Embassy, to Rome, in 1582. Its journey to Europe and its following visit to the Taiko, or first effective leader of Japan, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, may have been a trigger for the production of one of the most well-known Japanese artworks, the Namban screens
Exercising Your Author Rights: How to Effectively Share Your Scholarship
No full textMost scholars have a cursory understanding of copyright law and how it applies to their published scholarship. But many don\u27t know that they have rights well before they\u27re asked to sign copyright agreements and that they can use those rights to ensure versions of their works are shared openly, even when not publishing in open access venues. In this talk, Molly Keener, Director of Digital Initiatives & Scholarly Communication at Wake Forest University, will give a mini Copyright 101 primer before looking at common rights clauses in publishing contracts, breaking down how author rights can be exercised to maximize discoverability of scholarship, and identifying resources that scholars can use to make confident determinations of their rights as authors
Pieces of Molly: An ordinary life
No full textPieces of Molly is a memoir with a difference. Told in the first and third person, it offers a perspective on the self not often found in autobiographies. Molly can be seen as everychild - the author and the reader too - showing the everyday pains and difficulties encountered in all our lives. Molly s journey starts as everyone s does, in the womb. In most memoirs the first ten years are swiftly passed over, but here Judith shows us development from conception onwards as Molly begins to grow up in a tiny village on the east coast of England, which we see through her eyes; the eyes of a child born at the end of the Second World War. Pieces of Molly is a map of one small girl s mind, as the barely subdued ordinary terrors of childhood lurk around her world, a girl surrounded by the vibrant life of a working farm at a time when rapid developments are forcing that world to change. Molly is a curious little detective, keen to find out more about life and love. For her, the shadows behind the doors only make sense in hindsight, and buried family secrets come to light as she struggles with the problem of how and who to be in the world
