the subject of one of my drawing classes was: Gardens. And their representations in different civilizations. The references got me interested in the aesthetic of 16th-century religious books. I started to search for references and found even older ones. Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu. My research even got me to the book wrote (with symbols) by the Maya civilization. I wanted a drawing with a mix of them. So, first I dyed two different sheets of paper (a watercolor one and a checkered sheet) to give them the color the old books have. A second element that i thought was essential was the golden leaf. A real one was too expensive, so I brought an imitation. To shine of it is not exactly to my taste, but anyway. The third one was the page disposition of an illustration inside a rectangle. When I prepared myself to start tests I realized I didn't know what exactly I want to draw. The books usually have religious scenes draw. But I was at lost of what to do inside the rectangle. So I researched more. And it got me to the circular representation of the planets orbiting the earth (as it was believed that the earth was the center). Medieval cosmology world view. European astrology circles. Hindu mandalas. Cartographies of time. Tibetan Buddhist Astrological Diagrams. (https://br.pinterest.com/pinheiro3049/projeto/ all my references are in this link) And I was captivated. And the drawing came to my mind: 1 coloum of three circles on the right side of the paper. One would be inspired by the medieval cosmology world view. The second by an Astrolabe that had links with astrology. But i didn't know the third one. This research happened at the same time as the aboriginal one. And I learned the myth of the rainbow serpent that was a creation-god. That reminded me about a course I did in August about Amerindian art and talking about their mythology I remember vaguely of her mentioning a snake as a creation-entity as well, more specifically a jibóia. Them I decided to have a Jibóia tracing and putting together the circles, and the first circle would be the end of her body curled. I had some difficulties with the layout. I decided the poem would be handwritten by my father who has more linear lettering, and the poem was relatively big. The drawing and the poem were fighting each other on the page. Because I thought the poem "Higanbana" could only be done in the vertical position and it couldn't be the only page in a different position than the rest, I decided this page would be in the vertical as both of them are the only long poems. And they would be the last one. But the page was not working. So I asked my mother's opinion, and after talking and brainstorming she suggested a horizontal layout that worked much better. But, then the "Higanbana" would be too out of place and when I break the poem to fit the page horizontally it was not clear in which order it should be read. My mother simply said: "Does it need to be read in order?" And I thought, actually... no. "Higanbana" is the only poem that messing the order worked and created an interesting experience that matched the poem. So, both problems solved, all the pages were landscape and the disposition worked better. ( I even did a layout to "Higanbana" that matches the content. As it talks about a cyclical repetition and the third fourth and fifth verse are repetitions, I positioned them forming a circle) Then I decided to go with the checkered sheet because it has more personality. To glue the golden leaves was another big challenge. It was too delicate and I had no experience and what to glue them in precise small areas. I messed it all up and ended up spending 5 hours cleaning it in photoshop, it was too time-consuming when I had so little time left. I also spent another 6 hours doing small changes in my dad's handwriting to make it readable but with an aspect of unreadable. So I had this time management issue when doing this page. But it was worth it. I really liked the result. I just don't think the poem and the image match truly. So when I improve the book I will write another poem to this drawing and another drawing to this poem.

(this post is out of place because I had troubles with my Tumblr. This page was one of the last that I made. Put the poem was the first I wrote)

#1 Day 1 at the Oriental Museum - 16/10/19

I visited the Oriental museum today to get a sense of the objects available for the project. I have visited the museum multiple times before for personal interest and for previous projects and the vast array still amazes me.

There is a number of objects which are intriguing me.

- The porcelain collection of the Japanese section from the Qing dynasty has some beautiful pieces with intricate designs which speak of symbolism from the culture.

- The weapons collection also from the Qing dynasty are intricately carved and offer an interesting dynamic between decorative ornament and useful object.

- The islamic section really captured my attention, specifically the tile work astronomical collection. As one of the descriptors illustrated, they capture ‘the beauty of representational art with the elegance of geometry.’ (Iranian Pottery Bowl)

- The astronomical collection of the Globe and Astrolabe I find exceptional. I have never seen such instruments before and how they capture their represent their culture through their scientific purpose and elegant, intricate design is simply beautiful.

- I have always admired the Hindu Tree Shrine, it is a piece I first encountered whilst partaking in an creative writing programme two years ago in Durham and I wrote a poem about this shrine. I love its interactive quality as an instalment in the museum and how it briefly transports the viewer to its culture landscape.

- Lastly the Tibetan and Bhutanese jewellery and bowl collection I find are another interesting combination of purpose and elegance. The bright colours of coral and azul are striking and coupled with the handcrafted, intricate designs they have a alluring aura to them.

From this trip I have gathered I am drawn towards objects which couple purpose and design and marry the two in intriguing manner. I will have to dwell upon this and visit again to narrow down my objects.

Conversation

List of medieval European scientists

Anthemius of Tralles (ca. 474 – ca. 534): a professor of geometry and architecture, authored many influential works on mathematics and was one of the architects of the famed Hagia Sophia, the largest building in the world at its time. His works were among the most important source texts in the Arab world and Western Europe for centuries after.

John Philoponus (ca. 490–ca. 570): also known as John the Grammarian, a Christian Byzantine philosopher, launched a revolution in the understanding of physics by critiquing and correcting the earlier works of Aristotle. In the process he proposed important concepts such as a rudimentary notion of inertia and the invariant acceleration of falling objects. Although his works were repressed at various times in the Byzantine Empire, because of religious controversy, they would nevertheless become important to the understanding of physics throughout Europe and the Arab world.

Paul of Aegina (ca. 625–ca. 690): considered by some to be the greatest Christian Byzantine surgeon, developed many novel surgical techniques and authored the medical encyclopedia Medical Compendium in Seven Books. The book on surgery in particular was the definitive treatise in Europe and the Islamic world for hundreds of years.

The Venerable Bede (ca. 672–735): a Christian monk of the monasteries of Wearmouth and Jarrow who wrote a work On the Nature of Things, several books on the mathematical / astronomical subject of computus, the most influential entitled On the Reckoning of Time. He made original discoveries concerning the nature of the tides and his works on computus became required elements of the training of clergy, and thus greatly influenced early medieval knowledge of the natural world.

Rabanus Maurus (c. 780 – 856): a Christian monk and teacher, later archbishop of Mainz, who wrote a treatise on Computus and the encyclopedic work De universo. His teaching earned him the accolade of "Praeceptor Germaniae," or "the teacher of Germany."

Abbas Ibn Firnas (810 – 887): a polymath and inventor in Muslim Spain, made contributions in a variety of fields and is most known for his contributions to glass-making and aviation. He developed novel ways of manufacturing and using glass. He broke his back at an unsuccessful attempt at flying a primitive hang glider in 875.

Pope Sylvester II (c. 946–1003): a Christian scholar, teacher, mathematician, and later pope, reintroduced the abacus and armillary sphere to Western Europe after they had been lost for centuries following the Greco-Roman era. He was also responsible in part for the spread of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system in Western Europe.

Maslamah al-Majriti (died 1008): a mathematician, astronomer, and chemist in Muslim Spain, made contributions in many areas, from new techniques for surveying to updating and improving the astronomical tables of al-Khwarizmi and inventing a process for producing mercury oxide.[citation needed] He is most famous, though, for having helped transmit knowledge of mathematics and astronomy to Muslim Spain and Christian Western Europe.

Abulcasis (936-1013): a physician and scientist in Muslim Spain, is considered to be the father of modern surgery. He wrote numerous medical texts, developed many innovative surgical instruments, and developed a variety of new surgical techniques and practices. His texts were considered the definitive works on surgery in Europe until the Renaissance.

Constantine the African (c. 1020&–1087): a Christian native of Carthage, is best known for his translating of ancient Greek and Roman medical texts from Arabic into Latin while working at the Schola Medica Salernitana in Salerno, Italy. Among the works he translated were those of Hippocrates and Galen.

Arzachel (1028–1087): the foremost astronomer of the early second millennium, lived in Muslim Spain and greatly expanded the understanding and accuracy of planetary models and terrestrial measurements used for navigation. He developed key technologies including the equatorium and universal latitude-independent astrolabe.

Avempace (died 1138): a famous physicist from Muslim Spain who had an important influence on later physicists such as Galileo. He was the first to theorize the concept of a reaction force for every force exerted.

Adelard of Bath (c. 1080 – c. 1152): was a 12th-century English scholar, known for his work in astronomy, astrology, philosophy and mathematics.

Avenzoar (1091–1161): from Muslim Spain, introduced an experimental method in surgery, employing animal testing in order to experiment with surgical procedures before applying them to human patients.[4] He also performed the earliest dissections and postmortem autopsies on both humans as well as animals.

Robert Grosseteste (1168–1253): Bishop of Lincoln, was the central character of the English intellectual movement in the first half of the 13th century and is considered the founder of scientific thought in Oxford. He had a great interest in the natural world and wrote texts on the mathematical sciences of optics, astronomy and geometry. In his commentaries on Aristotle's scientific works, he affirmed that experiments should be used in order to verify a theory, testing its consequences. Roger Bacon was influenced by his work on optics and astronomy.

Albert the Great (1193–1280): Doctor Universalis, was one of the most prominent representatives of the philosophical tradition emerging from the Dominican Order. He is one of the thirty-three Saints of the Roman Catholic Church honored with the title of Doctor of the Church. He became famous for his vast knowledge and for his defence of the pacific coexistence between science and religion. Albert was an essential figure in introducing Greek and Islamic science into the medieval universities, although not without hesitation with regard to particular Aristotelian theses. In one of his most famous sayings he asserted: "Science does not consist in ratifying what others say, but of searching for the causes of phenomena." Thomas Aquinas was his most famous pupil.

John of Sacrobosco (c. 1195 – c. 1256): was a scholar, monk, and astronomer (probably English, but possibly Irish or Scottish) who taught at the University of Paris and wrote an authoritative and influential mediaeval astronomy text, the Tractatus de Sphaera; the Algorismus, which introduced calculations with Hindu-Arabic numerals into the European university curriculum; the Compotus ecclesiasticis on Easter reckoning; and the Tractatus de quadrante on the construction and use of the astronomical quadrant.

Jordanus de Nemore (late 12th, early 13th century): was one of the major pure mathematicians of the Middle Ages. He wrote treatises on mechanics ("the science of weights"), on basic and advanced arithmetic, on algebra, on geometry, and on the mathematics of stereographic projection.

Villard de Honnecourt (fl. 13th century): a French engineer and architect who made sketches of mechanical devices such as automatons and perhaps drew a picture of an early escapement mechanism for clockworks.

Roger Bacon (1214–94): Doctor Admirabilis, joined the Franciscan Order around 1240 where, influenced by Grosseteste, Alhacen and others, he dedicated himself to studies where he implemented the observation of nature and experimentation as the foundation of natural knowledge. Bacon wrote in such areas as mechanics, astronomy, geography and, most of all, optics. The optical research of Grosseteste and Bacon established optics as an area of study at the medieval university and formed the basis for a continuous tradition of research into optics that went all the way up to the beginning of the 17th century and the foundation of modern optics by Kepler.[8]

Ibn al-Baitar (died 1248): a botanist and pharmacist in Muslim Spain, researched over 1400 types of plants, foods, and drugs and compiled pharmaceutical and medical encyclopedias documenting his research. These were used in the Islamic world and Europe until the 19th century.

Theodoric Borgognoni (1205-1296): was an Italian Dominican friar and Bishop of Cervia who promoted the uses of both antiseptics and anaesthetics in surgery. His written work had a deep impact on Henri de Mondeville, who studied under him while living in Italy and later became the court physician for King Philip IV of France.

William of Saliceto (1210-1277): was an Italian surgeon of Lombardy who advanced medical knowledge and even challenged the work of the renowned Greco-Roman surgeon Galen (129-216 AD) by arguing that allowing pus to form in wounds was detrimental to the health of he patient.

Thomas Aquinas (1227–74): Doctor Angelicus, was an Italian theologian and friar in the Dominican Order. As his mentor Albert the Great, he is a Catholic Saint and Doctor of the Church. In addition to his extensive commentaries on Aristotle's scientific treatises, he was also said to have written an important alchemical treatise titled Aurora Consurgens. However, his most lasting contribution to the scientific development of the period was his role in the incorporation of Aristotelianism into the Scholastic tradition.

Arnaldus de Villa Nova (1235-1313): was an alchemist, astrologer, and physician from the Crown of Aragon who translated various Arabic medical texts, including those of Avicenna, and performed optical experiments with camera obscura.

John Duns Scotus (1266–1308): Doctor Subtilis, was a member of the Franciscan Order, philosopher and theologian. Emerging from the academic environment of the University of Oxford. where the presence of Grosseteste and Bacon was still palpable, he had a different view on the relationship between reason and faith as that of Thomas Aquinas. For Duns Scotus, the truths of faith could not be comprehended through the use of reason. Philosophy, hence, should not be a servant to theology, but act independently. He was the mentor of one of the greatest names of philosophy in the Middle Ages: William of Ockham.

Mondino de Liuzzi (c. 1270-1326): was an Italian physician, surgeon, and anatomist from Bologna who was one of the first in Medieval Europe to advocate for the public dissection of cadavers for advancing the field of anatomy. This followed a long-held Christian ban on dissections performed by the Alexandrian school in the late Roman Empire.

William of Ockham (1285–1350): Doctor Invincibilis, was an English Franciscan friar, philosopher, logician and theologian. Ockham defended the principle of parsimony, which could already be seen in the works of his mentor Duns Scotus. His principle later became known as Occam's Razor and states that if there are various equally valid explanations for a fact, then the simplest one should be chosen. This became a foundation of what would come to be known as the scientific method and one of the pillars of reductionism in science. Ockham probably died of the Black Plague. Jean Buridan and Nicole Oresme were his followers.

Jacopo Dondi dell'Orologio (1290-1359): was an Italian doctor, clockmaker, and astronomer from Padua who wrote on a number of scientific subjects such as pharmacology, surgery, astrology, and natural sciences. He also designed an astronomical clock.

Richard of Wallingford (1292-1336): an English abbot, mathematician, astronomer, and horologist who designed an astronomical clock as well as an equatorium to calculate the lunar, solar and planetary longitudes, as well as predict eclipses.

Jean Buridan (1300–58): was a French philosopher and priest. Although he was one of the most famous and influent philosophers of the late Middle Ages, his work today is not renowned by people other than philosophers and historians. One of his most significant contributions to science was the development of the theory of impetus, that explained the movement of projectiles and objects in free-fall. This theory gave way to the dynamics of Galileo Galilei and for Isaac Newton's famous principle of Inertia.

Guy de Chauliac (1300-1368): was a French physician and surgeon who wrote the Chirurgia magna, a widely read publication throughout medieval Europe that became one of the standard textbooks for medical knowledge for the next three centuries. During the Black Death he clearly distinguished Bubonic Plague and Pneumonic Plague as separate diseases, that they were contagious from person to person, and offered advice such as quarantine to avoid their spread in the population. He also served as the personal physician for three successive popes of the Avignon Papacy.

John Arderne (1307-1392): was an English physician and surgeon who invented his own anesthetic that combined hemlock, henbane, and opium. In his writings, he also described how to properly excise and remove the abscess caused by anal fistula.

Nicole Oresme (c. 1323–82): was one of the most original thinkers of the 14th century. A theologian and bishop of Lisieux, he wrote influential treatises in both Latin and French on mathematics, physics, astronomy, and economics. In addition to these contributions, Oresme strongly opposed astrology and speculated about the possibility of a plurality of worlds.

Giovanni Dondi dell'Orologio (c. 1330-1388): was a clockmaker from Padua, Italy who designed the astarium, an astronomical clock and planetarium that utilized the escapement mechanism that had been recently invented in Europe. He also attempted to describe the mechanics of the solar system with mathematical precision.

this is a response to the white people have no culture post: what about the mona lisa (and thousands of other pieces of art),, or the roman forum/colosseum,, or french baroque architecture,, or the invention of the battery, piano, eyeglasses, among other things!! please don't erase the good things white people do just because they have also done bad things,, because every race and culture has it's own history, whether it is good or bad

okay. i’m going to try my best to answer this well. please forgive any mistakes. and i’m not angry, by the way.

it is true that white people have created amazing things. and it’s true that good things shouldn’t be erased because of bad things. i don’t believe the post was a serious post. it’s not meant to be taken literally. white people have very obviously created some really great stuff, as we’re told from birth to death and grow up learning about it in schools. we celebrate white culture in history, art history, the music industry, literature… you name it. there’s no question that white people have made a LOT of things. the post was a complaint that white people really do tend to appropriate other cultures like there’s no tomorrow.

the colosseum and other ancient greek and roman architecture was incredible. if i remember my art history correctly, the romans developed the dome from the vault from the arch, which first appeared in Mesopotamia. the columnal array style we often see in greek and roman architecture is called a hypostyle hall, which first appeared in Egypt, Abyssinia, and Minoan civilizations. the pillar design people like to attribute to the greeks is actually egyptian.

some historians say that victorian era women’s fashion- you know with the big skirts puffed out in the back to make the behind look bigger- was based off the physique of African slave women and the argument was “it’s just fashion.” in modern times, white celebrities wear dreadlocks and cornrows and call it their own fashion when actually black women have been wearing their hair like that for many decades. modern pop and rock music wouldn’t exist without the jazz movement that black people started– in fact, they were criticized and belittled for it but when white people started copying them everyone lost their cool and started celebrating this awesome new music. the same thing happens with dance moves– twerking, anybody?– and rap music.

muslims invented algebra– maybe for a bit of nerdy fun, look up the etymology of the word “algebra” please– as well as the astrolabe and surgery and the flying machine and coffee and toothbrush and modern hospitals.

i’ve grown up watching white people appropriate my own culture and the culture of my ancestors all my life– wearing hijab and bindis just for fashion, dressing up as hindu gods and goddesses and wearing saris and mehendi (henna) for halloween… do i need to mention the use of native american culture in pop culture?

so yeah white people have made some really cool stuff. but they have always (and still do) stolen culture of other races.

#i hope i answered this well #i tried #replies #cultural appropriation
