Nina e Norman de Garis Davies sono stati due egittologi e una coppia di disegnatori di grandissimo talento. Uniti nella vita e nella professione, a loro si deve la documentazione di un'enorme parte del patrimonio pittorico dell'Antico Egittto.

La Voce di oggi è quella del dio della saggezza, della magia, del tempo e naturalmente, della scrittura: Thot. Divinità dal carattere lunare lo troviamo protagonista in un mito a dir poco singolare e il suo personaggio e quella che era ritenuta una sua invenzione al centro di un dialogo riportato da Platone nel Fedro che pare volerci dire qualcosa ancora oggi.Bibliografia:G.

Questa è la Voce che governa il Creato e dalla quale dipendono tutti i destini. Quella di oggi, infatti, è la Voce di Maat. Verità, Giustizia, Ordine cosmico personificate nella figura di una dea che si distingueva dalle altre per la lunga piuma di struzzo rappresentata sul suo capo. Piuma che anche da sola era sufficiente a rappresentarla nella molteplicità dei suoi significati, da quello religioso a quello giuridico.Si precisa che la parafrasi del breve passo tratto da L'Insegnamento di Ptahhotep é tratta dalla traduzione in Italiano proposta da E.

Ever considered how something as simple as a notebook could shape history?Roland Allen from Thames & Hudson chronicles the substantial history of a humble tool in The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper which traces the roots of jotting things down all the way back to medieval Florence and beyond. Roland and Greg chat about the earliest forms of notetaking on things like papyrus and wax tablets, the great thinkers in history who were prolific notetakers, and the enduring importance of writing things by hand in a digital world. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:GiottoPetrarchZibaldoneErasmusJohn CollettSamuel PepysBob GrahamGuest Profile:Professional WebsiteProfile on LinkedInHis Work:The Notebook: A History of Thinking on PaperEpisode Quotes:Why writing by hand engages your brain29:18: The brain, as you know, it's all about connections. It's not about really what one part of the brain does; it's about how different modules in the brain relate to each other. And when you write in a physical notebook, you activate more parts of the brain than when you type. So, for instance, you tend to activate the hippocampus, which is your mental map, and you activate that when you're writing in a notebook. And they reckon this is because a notebook isn't just a thing; it's also a kind of place. And so, when you put an idea on the page, you're locating it on this kind of mapped reality, which is the pages of your notebook. And if you think about this, when you're flicking through a notebook, you quite often think to yourself, "Oh, I know this is on the left side at the bottom," or, "I know this was in blue, not black," or, "I know that it was a doodle in a corner of the page." And you don't get that when you're typing. And they think it might be to do with the fact that, as you scroll up, or as your document scrolls up the screen away from whatever it is—the leading edge of what you're typing—it just vanishes into the machine.Why slowing down improves your writing26:57: It is much easier to tap into a laptop. It's much easier to edit on a laptop. And it's much easier to word process, produce a thousand words of text on a laptop. But to make it good takes work, and if the process of writing is a little bit difficult if you're forced by the labor of handwriting, which is slow and hard work, to actually think through every word carefully as you order it, as you make your sentence, this I think is a really good discipline, and it will give you better quality results.The power of handwritten note taking28:12: When you're note-taking, there's a real advantage to the physical labor of picking a phrase, a sentence, a reference; you excerpt it, you choose it. And because it takes that two minutes to write down a long quote or something like that, or longer, you have to focus on every word as you do it. You can't just control C, control V. Yeah, or Apple C, Apple V, all of the quotes you need, and just dump them into your document. If you do it by hand, you digest them. You get to know them. And that's the best way, I think, to understand something that's been written by someone else—to copy it out because you have to really engage with it.

Amelia Ann Blandford Edwards nacque a Londra il 7 Giugno 1831, fu una scrittrice, giornalista ed egittologa britannica. Di famiglia modesta, ma donna dal carattere forte e indipendente, viaggiò a lungo con la sua compagna di avventure Lucy Renshaw e, in questo viaggiare, non poté mancare la Valle del Nilo. Mille le miglia percorse, oggetto di un diario di viaggio illustrato dal titolo A Thousand Miles up the Nile, pubblicato dalla Edwards nel 1877. Ma questo fu solo l'inizio perché Amelia era destinata a diventare una figura di spicco dell'Egittologia Ottocentesca.Bibliografia:A. EDWARDS, Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys.

L'egittologo tedesco K. R. Lepsius (1810-1884), con la famosa Lettre à M. Rosellini sur l'alphabet hiéroglyphique (1837), fu il primo a sottoporre il sistema di decifrazione elaborato da J.F. Champollion a una puntuale critica scientifica. Nominato nel 1842 professore a Berlino, organizzò e guidò una Spedizione (1842-1846) i cui risultati pubblicati nei Denkmäler aus Ägypten und Äthiopien (Berlino 1849-1859) rappresentano ancora oggi una vera e propria pietra miliare per l'egittologia.

La Voce di oggi è fuori dalle righe e lo è per due motivi: è la Voce di una donna (e in queste nostre puntate di esordi egittologici voci femminili, per ovvi motivi, non se ne sentono praticamente mai) e non è una Voce che si sia mai occupata in prima persona di Antico Egitto, ma è la Voce di una viggiatrice curiosa che esplorò con arguzia gli usi e i costumi di una terra tanto lontana (in tutti i sensi) dalla sua Inghilterra. Un'esplorazione possibile grazie all'aiuto di suo fratello che la portò con sé. Perché il fratello di Sophia era lo studioso Edward William Lane, arabista ed egittologo, che nel 1836 pubblico un'opera di grande successo dal titolo ‘Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians', alla quale, però mancava un "piccolo" tassello: il mondo segreto delle donne!

Quella di oggi è la Voce del mito per eccellenza nell'Antico Egitto e lo è perché è la Voce di Osiride, il dio dei morti. Sembrerà strano, ma la storia leggendaria su cui si fondavano la legittimità del potere regale e la gran parte delle credenze oltremonadane di questa straordinaria civiltà è sopravvissuta nella sua versione più completa -seppur tanto rielaborata e non priva di fantasiose (anche per un mito) aggiunte- grazie ad un filosofo e scrittore greco, vissuto all'ombra dell' Impero Romano e nato nel 50 d.C. circa, a Cheronea, in Beozia: Plutarco. Come sempre, a favore di chi ascolta, per alcuni dei passaggi estratti dal testo di Plutarco si è preferito fornire una parafrasi. Bibliografia: PLUTARCO, Iside e Osiride, a cura di M.

Nestor Hippolyte Antoine L'Hôte, nato il 24 agosto 1804 a Colonia e morto il 24 marzo 1842 a Parigi fu un egittologo e disegnatore, membro della celebre Spedizione Franco-Toscana (1828-1829). Durante tre viaggi in Egitto, produsse centinaia di schizzi e disegni, molti dei quali inclusi nei Monuments de l'Égypte et de la Nubie di J. F. Champollion. Artista sensibile e dal gusto raffinato, la sua Voce, fatta anche di moltissime lettere e manoscritti, ci racconta il bello e il brutto dei suoi soggiorni e del suo lavoro in Egitto con una vivacità e una schiettezza davvero rare.

Questa è la Voce di William John Bankes (1786-1855) e dell'obelisco di File che egli portò dall'Egitto in Inghilterra e che, ancora oggi, svetta nel formidabile giardino della tenuta di Kingston Lacy nel Dorset. Aristocratico, viaggiatore e fine collezionista, Bankes, con una geniale intuizione proprio sull'iscrizione dell'Obelisco di File, aggiunse un tassello fondamentale alla decifrazione dei geroglifici. Una biografia avventurosa e intrigante la sua alla quale, però, si aggiunge anche la vicenda di una grande ingiustizia. Bibliografia: G.

On this PPN Camera and Inspiration episode, Marco interviewed the photographer, author, and educator Martin U Waltz on the show. Martin has published three different photo books with three different publishers in the past 12 months and shared his different experiences and tips as a photographer about the process of photo book publishing.   Martin was also on the previous PPN Camera and Inspiration podcast episode #28, where he shared tips on how to get your photos into a photo exhibition. You can go back and listen to this episode here: https://www.photopodcasts.com/podcasts/camera-and-inspiration-28-ppn-how-to-get-your-photos-into-an-exhibition-with-martin-u-waltz This show is sponsored by MPB.com: www.MPB.com Inspirational Photographer of the Month: Martin picked Tunesion-born photographer Skander Khlif. Skander is a documentary photographer who is based in Munich, Germany. He describes his work as “documenting life in public space by telling stories while retaining a note of mystery.” Martin is very impressed by Skanders work, whom he describes as a wanderer between worlds and cultures with a vast portfolio of extremely creative and well-composed images. You can find out more about Skander Khlif's work by visiting his website: https://skanderkhlif.com/stories How to get your photo book published: In the main segment of this show, Martin shared valuable information and different approaches on how to get your photo book published by a publisher. His information is based on the different photo books that he has published with different publishing houses in the past and covers the main steps from the photo book idea, selecting and contacting publishers, to the writing and photo selection process. Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: Martin's pick: “Harry Gruyaert” Photographs by Harry Gruyaert. Martin picked the photo book: “Harry Gruyaert” by Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert. From the publisher's description: “Born in Antwerp in 1941 and a member of Magnum Photos since 1982, Harry Gruyaert revolutionized creative and experimental uses of color in the 1970s and 1980s. Influenced by cinema and American photographers, his work defined new territory for color photography: an emotive, non-narrative, and boldly graphic way of perceiving the world… …Gruyaert's images are autonomous, often independent of any context or thematic logic. This volume, the first retrospective of his work, is a superb overview of his personal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses.”  The book is published by Thames & Hudson and has 144 pages Amazon: https://amzn.to/3NuuU1b   Marco also mentioned the three books, that Martin has recently published and talked about on the show:   Streetfotografie made in Germany 357 pages in German, published by Rheinwerk Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/46vIk5K   Next Level Streetfotografie: 256 pages in German, published by dpunkt Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/3NvwW1g   Berlin Unseen: 208 pages in English and German, published by teNeues Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PEBrsT   Links to Martin U Waltz: Web: https://www.StreetBerlin.net    Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1  Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/  Eigen Energie Wende: https://www.eigenenergiewende.de   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork  Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/PPN-GooglePodcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/PPN-fm Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) which will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: LUMINAR NEO (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

And we would appreciate it if you could take a short moment to rate or post a quick review of our shows on iTunes.   About this show: On the monthly “Camera and Inspiration” podcast show of the PPN - Photo Podcast Network, Marco and usually a guest discuss the essence of photography and how to photograph with more intent. Determining the “why” before the “how” in photography is essential to understanding your subject better and creating stronger images. In each episode, they introduce you to an inspirational photographer of the month and also share an inspirational photo book of the month.  

On this PPN Camera and Inspiration episode, Marco invited the inspiring photographer, author, and YouTuber Sean Tucker who has been on Marco's interview wishlist the longest and who has been requested to be a guest the most by PPN listeners. Sean was invited to this show because Marco had the feeling, that we all could use an inspirational jump-start right now, to get our creativity going and to either level up on current projects or to get inspired to start new photo projects.   This show is sponsored by MPB.com: www.MPB.com Inspirational Photographer of the Month: Sean picked Canadian-born photographer Joey Lawrence (Joey L.). Sean is impressed by how tasteful Joey creates his portraits and how meaningful his work is. Joey has some personal projects like the tribes of the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, the guerrilla fighters of Kurdistan, and Holy Men in India, where he mixes natural light and strobes to create very striking images. You can find out more about Joey L.'s work by visiting his website: http://joeyl.com Here are some behind-the-scenes videos of the three photo projects:: http://joeyl.com/onset/videos Motivation to pick up your camera and start new photo projects: In the main segment of this show, Sean shared different approaches to get in the right mindset to think about new projects or to level up on existing projects. Making friends with change and “embracing the suck” is part of the process, that helps us to explore and expand our mental, creative, and technical mindset for future photo projects. Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: Sean's pick: “BYWAYS” Photographs by Roger A. Deakins. Sean is inspired by Rager A. Deakins as he is one of his favorite cinematographers who has done some of the most beautiful films of the last 20 years. Deakins' photos in this book are from rural North Devon and the neighboring seaside dating back as far as 1971. Sean likes the way Deakins frames his images with the same eye that he has when he composes his movies - but without the famous actors and lighting setup.  So it is like the purest version of his vision to Sean. The book is published by Thames & Hudson and has 160 pages Amazon US: amzn.to/43eROAq Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/43DNURv Marco's pick: “The Meaning in the Making (A Philosophy - for the Creative Life)” by Sean Tucker.   Author's description: This book contains personal stories interwoven with the psychological, philosophical, and spiritual practices which help me stay a mentally healthy, inspired, and motivated "maker of things." I may be known first and foremost as a photographer, but this book has been written for anyone who makes anything; from filmmakers to musicians, and from painters to writers. So, no matter what your chosen creative outlet is, this book is for you.

SubscriberFirst, a normal Subscription secures a copy of both issues #009 (October 2022) and #010 (April 2023) inclusive of post & packing and a short monthly email Newsletter. There’s a slight twist this year as I’m responding to a few requests for starting a 2-issue subscription for issues #008 and #009, however this will only last as long as copies of issue #008 remain in stock.1 x issue #008 (April 2022) and 1 x issue #009 (October 2022)or1 x issue #009 (October 2022) and 1 x issue #010 (April 2023)Subscriber : £27.002.

I think they’re a good format for photographers/writers to articulate their thinking on contemporary photography or, as demonstrated in the most recent essay by Garry Stuart, linking past and present work for new audiences.

Varvara Stepanova was a leader of the constructivist movement and co-author of the constructivist manifesto. Described as “a frenzied artist,” she designed books, magazines, posters, advertisements, as well as textiles, clothing, and costumes. On top of that, she was an author and poet. Her design style and aesthetic was avant garde, modern, and often characterized by simplicity and geometric forms and patterns, but Varvara was never content with stasis. She constantly evolved her style and worked to develop new concepts and ideas. As a co-founder of the Constructivist movement, her work typifies the aesthetic and philosophies of Constructivism. While Varavara worked on many of her own projects, she also did many together with her husband, Alexander Rodchenko, another well-known Constructivist designer. Her work often gets linked to Rodchenko's, and it's Rodchenko who gets mentioned in histories of graphic design and credit for designs that should be attributed to Stepanova as well. At a time when women were largely still expected to be no more than wives and mothers, Stepanova was a woman who made an unmistakable mark on art and design.TIMELINE1894 – b Kovno [now Kaunas, Lithuania]1910-11 – Attended Kazan' School of Art (meets Aleksandr Rodchenko)1913-14 – Attended Stroganov School, studied with Konstantin Yuon & Il'ya Mashkov1920-30 – Taught at the Vkhutemas design school1921 – Work included as part of the 5 x 5 = 25 exhibition1922 – Co-wrote the Constructivist Manifesto with Alexander Rodchenko & Aleksei Gan 1922 – Designed the set and costumes for The Death of Tarelkin1923 – Worked at the  First Textile Printing Factory designing fabrics1924 – Vladimir Lenin dies, marks the beginning of the end of the Soviet Avant Garde1925 – Costume designs for the play The Death of Tarelkin were exhibited in the Soviet Pavilion at the International Exhibition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in Paris1932 – Independent artist groups are banned by Josef Stalin1958 – d Moscow, May 20thREFERENCESAdaskina, N.

This week, I spoke to James Tait who is an architect, an author, and an educator. James was the winner of the internationally-renowned RIBA and RIAS Silver Medals in 2008. Since then, he's gained considerable experience as an architect, leading a broad spectrum of high-profile projects at some of the best practices in the UK. James is the author of a new book called "Entering Architectural Practice," which is published by Routledge. He's also authored another book called the "Architecture Concept Book," which was published by Thames & Hudson. In this episode, we focus on the themes that were emerging from Entering Architectural Practice. We discuss the growing gap between education and practice, and what universities can be doing to bridge that gap better. We also look at the roles and responsibilities of how practice can be bridging that gap back to university, making architecture education more valuable and more integrated into what you do as a professional. There were also a lot of very interesting topics that came up. We talk about some of the working conditions that young architects face and some of the root causes of that. We look at the fees of architects and why that has an impact on the working conditions as well. We also take a step back and look at the saturation of the architectural industry. We ask the question, "Are there too many architects?" If that's the case, "What types of things could and should we do about it?" And "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" James is quite brilliant at being able to paint a multi-perspective argument around these issues facing the industry at the moment.

In this episode Alice is joined by Anita Kaushal - Co-Founder of Mauli Rituals; a British brand of skin, hair and body products, inspired by her Indian, Ayurvedic heritage. Anita is someone who is clearly a very wise and old soul. She has an ease and wisdom about her that brings an amazing perspective on the topic of loss and more. From her own tragic loss of her daughter Milli to cancer and how that became the catalyst for her amazing Ayurvedic brand Mauli Rituals. In this episode we talked all about: - The ancient power and science of Ayurveda and how it can change our life and health - What the loss of her daughter Milli taught her and how it was a catalyst for her incredible brand (Mauli Rituals) - Why her 87 year old Father in Law is the reason Ayurveda called to her - Why we are supposed to die of age not of disease - The powerful realisations that loss can bring - Why life is so much bigger than only what we can see here - The importance of honouring the sacredness of the individual  - Why imagining what was never meant to be is so damaging to us And so much more... Born and raised in West London, Anita grew up surrounded by the intricate fabrics and artefacts her father imported from Rajasthan. She began her career as Assistant to the UK Director of Rochas Perfumes, before moving into sales. After seven years climbing the corporate ladder, Anita left to follow her passion and founded a multi-channel retail of lifestyle products that married local artisans and internationally acclaimed designers. Her mix of old, new, ancient and modern also applied to her writing and art-directing style, as in motherhood, she went on to conceive best selling books for Thames & Hudson and then launch her Creative Consultancy. A life-changing incident in 2012 gave Anita the impetus to launch a fund-raising initiative and take her career full-circle and return to beauty with the launch of Mauli Rituals. The common thread in all her projects has been to share products and ideas that enrich the everyday by giving equal value to the physical, emotional and spiritual.  A trip to India opened her eyes to the incredible wellbeing and beauty wisdom of Ayurveda and given her consultancy projects revolved around beauty and wellbeing, everything just clicked and she knew the way forward. Mauli is a means to celebrate her heritage, grow a business she feels passionate about and at the same time, steadily work towards her target of raising £1m for charities that support women and children. Mauli launched in late 2014 and is available through some of the world's premier retailers including Net-A-Porter, SpaceNK, The Bulgari Spa and Nobu.

Episode 126: Al-Harf as a site of Negotiating Modernism and Unity The articulation of the Arabic letter in modern art in the Arab world has been a popular topic of discussion. The letter served 20th century artists on multiple levels and allowed for contradictory arguments. The letter became part of a more complex discourse of signs that drew on a collective and historical memory of difference, rupture and continuity. It disrupted and subverted the rhetoric of regional separation and promoted unity; its prominence in this imaginative and constructed discourse alluded to an emphasis on cultural overlaps, intersections, connections, and continuity between the Mashriq and the Maghreb. Equally, it gave artists comfort and confidence that came from the immediate perception of a marked cultural (and at times political) identity for the work. Manipulating the Arabic letter in art, thus, served as a mediator between national identity, heritage and modern art. Nada Shabout is a Regent Professor of Art History and the Coordinator of the Contemporary Arab and Muslim Cultural Studies Initiative (CAMCSI) at the University of North Texas. She is the founding president of the Association for Modern and Contemporary Art from the Arab World, Iran and Turkey (AMCA).

Joshua Hall, Matthew Lloyd, and Josho Brouwers are joined by special guest Dr Lieve Donnellan of Aarhus University to talk about networks and interconnectivity in the ancient Mediterranean. The discussion is prompted by our reading of Cyprian Broodbank’s monumental work, The Making of the Middle Sea: A History of the Mediterranean from the Beginning to the Emergence of the Classical World, published in 2013 by Thames & Hudson.

Michael Petry, author, artist and Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in London talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about his new book “The Word Is Art” that addresses how contemporary global artists incorporate text and language into their works that speaks to some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. In the digital and online age words have become more important than ever with text becoming information and information striving to become a free form of expression. “The Word Is Art” looks at the work of a diverse range of artists including Annette Messager, Barbara Kruger, Cerith Wyn Evans, Christian Marclay, Christopher Wool, Chun Kwang Young, eL Seed, Fiona Banner, Ghada Amer, Glenn Ligon, Harland Miller, Jenny Holzer, Kay Rosen, Laure Prouvost, Martin Creed, Rachel Whiteread, Raymond Pettibon, Roni Horn, Tania Bruguera, Zhang Huan and many more interpreting how the digital and online age have made words more important than ever. “The Word Is Art” takes us on a fascinating and richly illustrated tour interpreting these trending global art forms. We talked to Michael about his inspiration for creating this book and his spin on our LGBTQ issues. When asked what his personal commitment is to LGBTQ civil rights Petry stated, “I’m one of the ancients who’s been around fighting for LGBTQ rights since the early eighties and I’ve been involved in so many different ways over the years. I consider myself queer because I think that is a broader term that for me represents who I am and what I think and part of that commitment as a queer who is an artist and who also is an author and a curator is to try and bring queer artists to the foreground of the art world. We only have to think back a few years to realize that LGBTQ artists were very marginalized and that’s still the case for many people. In the LGBTQ movement every year I curate a Pride Exhibition in London which I really hope to introduce LGBTQ artists not only to that community but to the straight community and I work within all the structures that are available whether that’s museums or the corporate structure to get that recognition for LGBTQ people because I think what is at issue in the broader political sphere is this notion of fear. Fear of others and of course that fear is not limited to the general public. It’s also in the art world.” Michael Petry has written a number of books, including “Installation Art”, “The Art of Not Making: the new artist/artisan relationship”, “Nature Morte: Contemporary Artists Reinvigorate the Still-Life Tradition” and his most recent work “The Word Is Art” all published by Thames & Hudson. In 2019 he will be speaking and exhibiting his work worldwide.For More Info: michaelpetry.com Hear 450+ LGBT Interviews @OUTTAKE VOICES

Länder uppstår och försvinner. Men även efteråt kan man ibland förnimma deras närvaro. Per J Andersson reser till ingenstansländer och får en vision av en kosmopolitisk framtid. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. En gång besökte jag ett land som inte längre fanns. Ärligt talat var jag osäker på om det någonsin funnits. Men när jag läste på visade det sig att landet visst hade existerat. Många kungar och drottningar hade man haft. Och en ståtlig borg och ett magnifikt palats stod kvar och påminde om den forna prakten och lockade turister från när och fjärran. Poff, så fanns inte längre landet. Jag ville veta mer om landet som en gång tagit upp skatt, haft en regering, en liten armé och tryckt egna frimärken, så jag knackade på hemma hos maharaja Swaroop Singh, bror till den sista regerande kungen av kungadömet Marwar i den indiska Tharöknen. Kungabrodern tog emot i jaktsalongen i sitt palats full av kunglig glans. Det var en bisarr syn. Där satt han i sin orientaliska kostym i ett rum dekorerat med ett bord gjort av ett elefantöra som balanserade på en snabel, ett pennställ tillverkat av en buffelhov, elefantbetar på väggen förstås, och i ett hörn ett uppstoppat lejon stelnad i en rytande pose. Det kändes verkligen som om jag klivit in en försvunnen värld. Det var lite oklart exakt hur länge landet existerat eftersom afghaner, perser, moguler och britter flera gånger knackat på porten till borgen och krävt att få överhöghet. Men själva hävdade man att man funnits sedan 1212 och ända fram till 1947, då de brittiska kolonialherrarna till slut gav sig av, och Marwar tvingades bli en del av det självständiga Indien. Poff, så fanns inte längre landet. Men tack vare att invånarna fick behålla sitt lokala språk och sin särpräglade identitet känner de sig än idag som både som marwarier och indier. Det ena utesluter inte det andra. Bara de senaste 200 åren har det funnits minst tre gånger så många länder på jorden. Besöket i den del av Indien som en gång utgjorde landet Marwar gjorde att jag började fundera på hur många länder det egentligen finns på jorden? Räknar vi antalet medlemmar i FN blir ju svaret 193 länder. Tar man dessutom med Taiwan och Vatikanstaten, som också är självständiga stater men inte är med i FN, då blir det 195. Och gör vi en lista som också innehåller stater med begränsad självständighet och som inte kontrollerar sitt territorium kan man argumentera för att det finns hela 246 länder. Men det är ett ständigt föränderligt antal. Marwar är ju inte ensamt om att ha upphört att existera. Bara de senaste 200 åren har det funnits minst tre gånger så många länder på jorden. Bjørn Berge heter en dansk arkitekt, resenär och frimärkssamlare som gav sig sjutton på att skaffa sig ett frimärke från vartenda ett av de 1 000 länder som utfärdat ett. Resultatet blev inte bara ett imponerande frimärksalbum, utan också boken Nowwherelands, som är en atlas över försvunna nationer. Flera av de 50 länder han berättar om känner jag igen, som Danska Västindien och Bägge Sicilierna, medan många låter som namn från sagans värld. Som Obock som i slutet av 1800-talet var ett självständigt land på Afrikas horn, och Östra Rumelien, som idag är en del av Bulgarien men runt förra sekelskiftet fick uppleva tre decennier av självstyre. Bjørn Berges rumeliska frimärke innehåller i kosmopolitisk anda såväl arabisk, grekisk och bulgarisk som fransk text och är poststämplat i huvudstaden som hette Filippopolis, en av Europas äldsta metropoler. Så läser jag att stan idag heter Plovdiv och är Bulgariens näst största stad. Och då inser jag att jag helt ovetande besökt även det här före detta landet, eftersom jag ifjol gjorde ett kort stopp i staden i samband med en tågresa till Istanbul. Marken gungar till under mina fötter när jag inser att jag har färdats genom ännu ett ingenstansland. i vår historia göms inga bortglömda små 1800-talskungadömen. Det är som om en parallell värld framträder när jag bläddrar i atlasen över försvunna länder. Labuan, Boyaca, Sedang, Perak, Allenstein, Södra Kasai, Övre Yafa Pratar vi om samma planet? Inget av de här länderna nämndes på skolans geografi- och historielektioner. Jag tänker att jag som svensk nog är extra omedveten om alla dessa kortlivade lilleputtländer runt om i världen, van som jag är med en relativt stabil och enhetlig nationell historia. Visst, Finland och Norge har tillhört Sverige och några av våra sydliga landskap har varit danska, men i vår historia göms inga bortglömda små 1800-talskungadömen. I kontinental-Europa ser det ju annorlunda ut med olika furstendömen som ibland bytt nationell tillhörighet både en och två gånger innan de så småningom uppgick i Tyskland, Italien eller något av länderna i sydöstra Europa som bildades efter första världskriget när de Habsburgska och Osmanska rikena föll samman. Atlasen över försvunna länder får mig att tänka på alltings förgänglighet. Världskartan är inte statisk. Nationella identiteter konstrueras och tynar bort. Vilka av dagens nationer kommer någon gång i framtiden att ha försvunnits och glömts bort? Och vilka regioner kommer då att ha brutit sig ur sina moderländer och förklarat sig självständiga? Skottland, Katalonien och irakiska Kurdistan är ju redan på väg, även om deras frigörelseprocesser nyligen har hindrats. Abchazien, Nagorno-Karabach, Nordcypern, Somaliland, Sydossetien och Transnistrien har kommit lite längre, men inte nått ända fram. fler småländer kanske skulle vara bra för världsfreden. Frågan är förstås om det är önskvärt att de lyckas. Nationerna de bryter sig loss från tycker nästan aldrig det, men var landar man i för slutsats om man har ett mer globalt utilitaristiskt perspektiv? Ryggmärgsreflexen säger att fler länder skulle göra världen till en osäkrare plats, eftersom det betyder fler nationella viljor och därmed fler möjliga konfliktytor. Men eftertanken säger mig att de pågående väpnade konflikterna i världen idag inte utkämpas mellan länder, som tidigare i historien, utan praktiskt taget uteslutande inuti i länderna och ofta handlar om etniska och religiösa grupper som slåss för att bli fria från den regim som de mot sin vilja tvingats underordna sig. Som i Syrien, Irak, Afghanistan, Nigeria och Ukraina. Så fler småländer kanske skulle vara bra för världsfreden. Filosofen och lingvisten Julia Kristeva menar att glorifieringen av den nationella identiteten står i vägen för erkännandet av andra former av identitetsskapande. Vi är så fast i nationalismen att vi ser andra gemenskaper som skrämmande och tycker att det är en självklarhet att det är skillnad på folk innanför och folk utanför gränsen. Så fast att vi tycker att det är snudd på en naturlag att det ska finnas människor som inte har samma rättigheter som vi själva. Man skulle kunna säga att världen är på väg åt två olika håll samtidigt. En som sluter sig och en som öppnar sig. Efter andra världskriget har vi, å andra sidan, för första gången någonsin upplevt en emotionernas globalisering, som den tyske sociologen Ulrich Beck uttryckt det. Vad han syftade på var vår tids protester mot avlägsna krig och engagemang för flyktingar från främmande trakter. Tidigare i historien har vi inte brytt oss lika mycket om händelser långt bort. Det är inget tvivel om saken, enligt den tyske sociologen: den kosmopolitiska tanken har växt sig starkare. Men så har vi britternas Brexit, Trumps protektionism, Erdogans Turkiet och Europas alla högerpopulistiska partier. Man skulle kunna säga att världen är på väg åt två olika håll samtidigt. En som sluter sig och en som öppnar sig. När jag bläddrar i boken om ingenstansländerna får jag en vision som kanske kan accepteras i de politiska läger som idag befinner sig på kollisionskurs med varandra. Låt alla världens regioner få blomstra. Plocka upp de vackra idéerna om från kalla krigets slut i början av 90-talet och EU:s utvidgning i början av 00-talet. De idéer som handlade om en på samma gång mer global och mer regional värld. Låt fler folk få mer lokalt självbestämmande, rätt att tala sitt språk och skriva sin egen historia. Men se samtidigt till att finns internationella gemenskaper, som helst är starkare och effektivare än både FN och EU och därför klarar av att hålla chauvinismen och etnocentrismen stången. Hellre tusen nästan självständiga regioner som tyglas av överstatliga gemenskaper än 195 nationalistiska länder med obegränsat självbestämmande som trycker ner minoriteter, rustar sig till tänderna och ängsligt sneglar på varandra. Det låter kanske som en utopi, men samtidigt tror jag att det är den enda möjlighet som finns för kosmopolitismen att träda ut ur sitt filosofiska luftslott.

In her exuberant and explosive pictures, Lois Greenfield captures not just the lithe and acrobatic forms of dancers performing their art, but the purity and exhilaration of movement itself. Without tricks or manipulation of any kind, she catches fleeting and impossible moments in a style that is both lyrical and graphic. Greenfield has been compared with Eadweard Muybridge for his exploration of human locomotion and with Henri Cartier-Bresson for capturing the decisive moment. Unlike her predecessors however, her images depict but don’t refer to the “real” world. They are documents of her imagination. Beginning her career as a photojournalist, Greenfield covered the experimental dance movement scene for the Village Voice from 1973 to the mid 90’s. In 1982 she decided to open her own studio where she could control the lighting, and work with dancers in a collaborative environment. Her exploration of the expressive possibilities of photographed movement and her unique approach to photographing the human form in motion has radically redefined the genre and influenced a generation of photographers. Greenfield has created signature images for countless contemporary dance companies as well as commercial clients.  Her photographs have been featured in many magazines worldwide and exhibited internationally. She frequently gives lectures and offers workshops. Since 2014 Greenfield has been an Artist in Residence at NYU/Tisch Department of Dance and New Media. In 2015, She was honored with the Dance in Focus award in recognition of her ground-breaking contributions to the field. Her third book, “Lois Greenfield:Moving Still”, (Thames & Hudson, UK & Chronicle Books, USA) will be released in Fall 2015.   Order Lois Greenfield’s new book, Moving Still via Amazon and help support the show. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1452150206?creativeASIN=1452150206&linkCode=w00&linkId=BH7ROEXYRG72PIM4&ref_=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til&tag=thecanfra-20   Resources:   Lois Greenfield http://www.loisgreenfield.com   Sebastião Salgado http://www.amazonasimages.com Download the free Candid Frame app for your favorite smart device.   Click here to download for .

Can Pwyll & Rhiannon provide an heir to the Kingdom? Part 11 of the First Branch of the Mabinogion. Doubt begins to enter the minds of the people of Dyfed as their Lord and his Lady show no signs of producing an heir. The High Council of Druids put pressure on Pwyll to divorce his Fairy Bride and take a more 'fruitful' woman to his bed! This episode is also the 11th episode of the First Branch of the Mabinogi.

Listener Feedback Chris St. Piran's Cross We had a great question from Chris in South Australia about Celtic tattoos, specifically about any that are Cornish in nature. As we say in the show, there aren't many original and ancient designs from Cornwall. There are a few books that may help with more general Celtic knotwork or art. We recommend having a look at:- Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction by George Bain Art of the Celts: From 700 B.C. to the Celtic Revival World of Art by Lloyd Laing Gaelic Tattoos: Top 50 Irish Gaelic Tattoo Ideas Book The Celtic Design Book - Aidan Meehan We suggested either using a variant of St. Piran's Cross or a form of the Piskie - the little pixie unique to Cornwall. We have images of both (and the Tintagel Labyrinth) below. Field Piskie by Josee Saurus The Tintagel Labyrinth from the Cornish Store   Promo - Live Wire! Podcast Radio - Savvy Live Wire!

Music - Sabbat Damh the Bard Sabbat Sabbat, the opening track on the album, is a rousing song about the eight seasonal festivals of the year (known as sabbats to Wiccans). Whether in Druidry or in Wicca, or in our distant past these times of the year are special to the Old Gods. Damh celebrates these great community celebrations with this superb song. Make sure you check out Damh's new album and where to get it on his website or on our Contributor Page. He has also made a video about his feelings for this song (as well as the others on the album) which you can find on YouTube.   Additional Thanks   Kristoffer Hughes We'd like to send out a shout of thanks to Kristoffer Hughes for his help with some of the Welsh language used in this episode.

He is the founder and Head of the Anglesey Druid Order and studies with the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. Badge of the A.D.O. In 2012 he was awarded the Mount Haemus Scholarship for original research in Druidism and related subjects. Kristoffer frequently presents workshops and lectures throughout the United Kingdom.

[source]   Huge Thanks to Special Guest Actors   Damh the Bard Damh the Bard Damh, taking on the role of Gwawl and other parts in the second half of our re-telling of the First Branch, is a musical storyteller who works within the world of myth that cannot be proved; where the Faerie really do dance on Midsummer's Eve, where the trees talk, and the Hollow Hills take you into the realms of Annwn. Where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God of old calls us from the shadows of the Greenwood. You can find out more about Damh and his work on his website at paganmusic.co.uk or on our Contributor page.   Cerri Lee Cerri Lee Cerri Lee, playing the role of Rhiannon, is a multi-talented visonary artist who can turn her hand to almost anything creative. She is inspired by nature, and the ancient Pagan myths and legends of many cultures, her beliefs as a modern day Druid as well as those around her. Cerri is equally in her element when she is up to her elbows in clay or painting one of her fabulous pictures. She is partner to Druid musican and long-time supporter of our show, Damh the Bard and can be found supporting him at many of his performances.   Emma Doubleday Emma Doubleday Our dear friend, Emma, is an Essex girl, born and bred.

We discuss topics ranging from his ocean crossings, cycling through Europe, rollerblading through America, and Pedaling through the Pacific.   Jason’s Bio:   “Arguably, the most remarkable adventurer in the world today.”                                                                                          —THE DAILY MAIL Jason Lewis is an award-winning author, adventurer and sustainability campaigner specializing in human-powered expeditions. He is recognized by Guinness World Records as the first person to circumnavigate the Earth without using motors or sails[1]: walking, cycling, and inline skating five continents, and kayaking, swimming, rowing, and pedalling a boat across the rivers, seas, and oceans. Taking thirteen years to complete, the 46,505-mile journey was hailed “the last great first for circumnavigation” by the London Sunday Times. RECORDS
Jason has set three additional records: the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean from mainland Europe to North America by human power (February 1995, Lewis and Smith); first crossing of North America on inline skates (September 1996, Lewis); and first crossing of the Pacific Ocean by pedal power (August 2000, Lewis). MEDIA & HONOURS
He was nominated The Times inGear Man of the Year (2007), the Land Rover Toughest Sportsperson of the Year, and featured as one of Sport Magazine’s Athletes of the Year. A Fellow of London University, the Royal Geographical Society, and The Explorers Club, he has appeared on numerous television and talk shows, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (NBC), CBS This Morning, and Long Way Down with actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.   CAUSE
Being an adventurer is about much more than just records or firsts for Jason. Visiting more than 900 schools in 37 countries to date, involving thousands of students in a variety of programmes in conjunction with UNESCO’s Associated Schools Program Network, he uses human-powered journeys and his profile as an adventurer to promote world citizenship, zero carbon emission travel, and awareness of individual lifestyle choices on the health of the planet. In addition, tens of thousands of dollars have been raised through his 501(c)(3) non-profit organization for humanitarian causes — orphanages such as The Hope Orphanage in East Timor, and hospices for people living with HIV and AIDS (Rumah Solehah, Kuala Lumpur; Father Joe’s Mercy Centre, Bangkok). BOOKS & AWARDS
A frequent contributor to outdoor magazines (Men’s Fitness, Sports Illustrated, Outside Magazine, Geographical) and travel books (Chicken Soup for the Traveler’s Soul, HCI, 2002; Flightless, Incredible Journeys Without Leaving the Ground, Lonely Planet, 2008; The Modern Explorers, Thames & Hudson, 2013), Jason is the author of The Expedition trilogy (BillyFish Books, 2012/3): Dark Waters*, The Seed Buried Deep, and To The Brink. * WINNER of the 2013 Benjamin Franklin Award, Eric Hoffer Award, National Indie Excellence Award & 2012 ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year.

There he has to wait for a year before he can return to the Otherworld. Only then will he see whether Rhiannon's plan will work and he can regain his Faerie Bride. But tricking the tricksters is never an easy task! In this episode we see exactly what happens when Pwyll returns on that fateful day! This episode is also the ninth episode of the First Branch of the Mabinogi.

Not from Nantle but from our own research.. The Court of Hefaydd Hen THE COURT OF HEFEYDD HEN (or Hyfaidd Hen) – unknown, but, according to the Mabinogion, certainly not in Dyfed. But according to some other traditions, Hefeydd was the first King of Dyfed. Gorsedd Arberth was his burial place and also the entrance to Annwn. Was this the enchanted castle in the third Branch? A hero called Hefeydd Hir is found in the 6th century epic poem Y Gododdin (composed by a Briton named Aneurin who lived in a land which is now part of Scotland). In the second Branch of the Mabinogion he appears as one of the Seven Knights, King Hefeydd of Dyfed who died in 892 etc... Hefeydd was a common name in Mediaeval Wales. The Kingdom of Gwawl fab Clud Map of Scotland showing the Wall It is said that the literal meaning of the name is “Wall Son Of Wealth”. “Gwawl”, according to the University of Wales Dictionary means: The Vallum (Roman wall) between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde - the Antonine Wall, not Hadrian’s Wall Man Light But his last name more than likely refers to the River Clyde in Scotland. Therefore he was one of the people of the Old North, that is to say they were Britons, like the Welsh. Alt Clud - now called Dumbarton Rock Their capital was Allt Clud – a huge rock on the further north bank of the River Clyde. [Now called Dumbarton (City of the Britons) Rock NS399745].

Pwyll meets a mysterious Lady In the first episode of the second half of Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed we find out that it has been three long and glorious years since Pwyll journeyed to Annwn and became firm friends with Annwn and his own kingdom is just beginning to shown signs of strain. It has been hot with fine weather for so long that the possibility of drought is becoming a real threat. Pwyll has not taken a Queen and produced an heir and the people fear that the land is suffering from his lack of fertility. Pwyll, however, has other things on his mind... This episode is also the 7th episode of the First Branch of the Mabinogi: Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed and the beginning of the second half of that Branch - the story of his encounter with Rhiannon.

The Cantrefs of Dyfed. Pic Arberth Castle today One of Pwyll's chief courts, obviously not far from Gorsedd Arberth (see below). Perhaps the site of the Norman Castle. Photo     Location of the Gorsedd? The Iron Age fort on Camp Hill to the south of the town of Narberth is the most commonly accepted location for the Gorsedd of Arberth. We have marked it in Green with our location on Bryn Caerau marked in Yellow to the North-East of Arberth. Pic: Google Earth We suspect that these twin peaks are the site of the actual Gorsedd as they are higher than Camp Hill, match with the descriptions of the topography given in the text and have an earlier Bronze Age archaeological presence known as Caerau Gaer and Llandewi Gaer. Arberth, the "Sea-Voice" & the Gorsedd The River we have called the Sea-Voice is the river Marlais that flows from the River Taf. The Welsh name comes from 'marw glais' which means 'dead bruise' and therefore stagnant water, so we can only assume that it has long since become polluted.

Pwyll prepares to enter a battle to the death! In the last episode, Pwyll had started his battle training with Arawn's Knights, defended the Kingdom of Annwn from strange, Brutish invaders and learned a valuable lesson from Arawn's beautiful Queen. In this episode, after a year of preparation and waiting, he gathers his forces and travels to the Ford between the Worlds. There, he will meet with Hafgan the Summer-White, the King of the Land of Summer and face him in a duel to the death. Only one will walk away. Will Pwyll be able to meet up to Arawn's hopes and expectations? This episode is also the 5th episode of the First Branch of the Mabinogi and continues the story of Pwyll, the Prince of Dyfed.

Under the title of Ancient Britain and the Atlantic Zone, the project is now in its fifth year and is exploring the possibility that the ancient language of Tartessian is possibly the earliest known Celtic language and that the Celts came to Europe from the West. We covered the Year 3 conference and again in our report about the possible origins of Welsh. We also report that there is some evidence that an inscription in the Tartessian language may well have been found in Newfoundland indicating that the Celts may have visited the other side of the Atlantic at least 4,000 years ago!

Pwyll goes to the Otherworld and meets the Dread Lord's Queen! In the last episode, Pwyll, the Welsh Prince of Dyfed, strikes a bargain with the Grey Lord, Death Himself - Arawn, Lord of Annwn. To make up for his great insult, he agrees to enter into single combat and fight a mighty King in the Otherworld on Arawn's behalf. Arawn uses his magic to change his shape with that of Pwyll, so that each looks like the other and then escorts him through the worlds to his castle in Annwn. In this tale, Pwyll finds his way around the Court of Arawn, seeing many strange marvels and meeting many mysterious people. As the time of the evening Feast approaches, he finally gets to meet the Great Queen herself..!

The ashen face of Death turns his gaze upon our hero! In the last episode, Pwyll had gone hunting in the Woods of Glyn Cuch and had been beaten to the kill by a stranger pack comprising even stranger dogs. Having decided that the kill was rightfully his, he had driven off the other pack and set his own dogs upon the prey. It was at that moment that a stranger, the Shadowed Hunter, has appeared and was even now turning his dread gaze upon Pwyll. We'd also like to introduce our Special Surprise Guest Actor, Damh the Bard, who plays an important role in this show! This episode is the second episode in our Welsh Mythology series and continues with the story of Pwyll, the Prince of Dyfed.

We also re-play the interview that Paul Stenton of BBC Camridgeshire's breakfast show had with Sarah Stannage of Vivacity and Lisa Westcott-Wilkins, the Managing Director of DigVentures. Built by Bronze Age people as a place of worship and ritual, the causeway contains 60,000 upright timbers and 250,000 horizontal planks buried underground along with many swords and other personal 'offerings' to the watery fen. Now under threat of being lost to the elements, it is a matter of urgency to Rescue and research as much as possible within the remaining time. See how you can help the project and get involved on the DigVentures site.   Face to Face with Death: Part 2 of the First Branch and Part 2 of the Mabinogion Names Used in this Story Listed in order of appearance Pwyll Dyfed Cuch Glyn Cuch Arawn Annwn Hafgan the Summer-White "Storm" Tylwyth Teg   Places mentioned in the Story Episode 2 is also the second episode of the First Branch: Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed. The area of the Wales that Pwyll rules is called Dyfed, and at the estimated time of the writing of the First Branch (during the Medieval period). There is some debate as to the area of the original seven cantrefs, and Wiki provides us not only with a revised version but also names the seven areas. This is the area as it was known in the 7th Century and although the tales were not written down until the early medieval period, there is much evidence - linguistic and political - to suggest that the events recounted in the Mabingion, based on real events and/or mythology, took place at this time. Click on the image to see it enlarged. The actual journey that Pwyll makes in this episode is derived from clues given within the various translations and is, essentially, an educated guess! :) However, below you can see the path that Pwyll would have taken in traverlling from Arberth to Glyn Cuch.
