ISBN: 1000207366

Icons of Sound: Voice, Architecture, and Imagination in Medieval Art brings together art history and sound studies to offer new perspectives on medieval churches and cathedrals as spaces where the perception of the visual is inherently shaped by sound. The chapters encompass a wide geographic and historical range, from the fifth to the fifteenth century, and from Armenia and Byzantium to Venice, Rome, and Santiago de Compostela. Contributors offer nuanced explorations of the intangible sonic aura produced in these places by the ritual music and harness the use of digital technology to reconstruct historical aural environments. Rooted in a decade-long interdisciplinary research project at Stanford University, Icons of Sound expands our understanding of the inherently intertwined relationship between medieval chant and liturgy, the acoustics of architectural spaces, and their visual aesthetics. Together, the contributors provide insights that are relevant across art history, sound studies, musicology, and medieval studies.

Hong Kong has been a unique society from its establishment as a political region separate from mainland China in the nineteenth century under British colonial rule until the present day as a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China. A hub of interregional and international migration, it has been the temporary and long-term home of people belonging to many racial, ethnic, and cultural groups. This book examines the evolution of the community established by clergy and congregants of the Russian Orthodox Church. This community was first developed in the 1930s and then revived after a hiatus of over two decades from the 1970s to the 1990s with the founding of the Orthodox Parish of Apostles Saints Peter and Paul (OPASPP) at the turn of the twenty-first century. This study demonstrates how the OPASPP has become a vital provider of knowledge about Russian language and culture as well as a religious institution serving both heritage and convert believers. The community formed by and around the OPASPP is important to foster Sino-Russian relations based on individual-to-individual contact and mutual exposure to Chinese and Russian cultures in a region of China which allows spiritual and social diversity with minimal political constraints.

This volume wades into the fertile waters of Augustan Rome and the interrelationship of its literature, monuments, and urban landscape. It focused on a pair of questions: how can we productively probe the myriad points of contact between textual and material evidence to write viable cultural histories of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, and what are the limits of these kinds of analysis? The studies gathered here range from monumental absences to monumental texts, from canonical Roman authors such as Cicero, Livy, and Ovid to iconic Roman monuments such as the Rostra, Pantheon, and Solar Meridian of Augustus. Each chapter examines what the texts in, on, and about the city tell us about how the ancients thought about, interacted with, and responded to their urban-monumental landscape. The result is a volume whose methodological and heuristic techniques will be compelling and useful for all scholars of the ancient Mediterranean world.

Genesis 1 v 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth. ” And it was so. At the very beginning God said the lights or stars in the heaven will be for Signs (Astronomy and Astrology). But God does not like the “starry predictions” in the paper each day or the magazines or the ones on the end of your phone speaking to the dead. Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God. Necromancer’s means ‘A method of divination through alleged communication with the dead’; black Art, magic in general, especially that practiced by a witch or sorcerer; sorcery; witchcraft. God’s Astrology Therefore, Astrology is only to be used in the way it has been used in this book – the numbers in Astrology must match up with what the scriptures are saying and for example the woman in Revelation 12 v 1 and 2 is Virgo; and in Arabic The Undefended One. There are many scriptures in the Bible where Astronomy and Astrology is used. Here are a few for your reference. 1. The Sun and Moon Stood Still – Joshua 10:13. 2. Make the Sun go backwards – Isaiah 38:8. 3. There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars – Luke 21.25. 4. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the LORD arrives. Joel 2 v31 and Acts 2 v20. 5. Jesus’ birth was a star of Bethlehem. This led the wise men to where Jesus was laid in a manger. God used Astronomy and Astrology to lead people to Christ. Matthew 2.2. 6. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. Job 9:9. 7. And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21 v 11. 8. I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. Ezekiel 21:30 KJV. In Hebrew and Chinese astrology there are 27, and sometimes 28 houses. When you are born your precise time of Birth is in one of these houses. When the ‘thing’ that is born at 7:36 am on the 23/09/2017 its precise time is noted and taken to God. Revelation 6 v 1 and 2 which came true on the 16/11/2014. The seal was broken and out came a rider on a horse with a bow. The 16/11/2014 was a Blood Moon with Mars, Blood Moons happen with other planets, not just Earth. Mars the Roman god of war is in the rider’s Jugular on the 16/11/2014. Moon is under Leo and Jupiter is at Leo’s Throat. Moon’s number is 18 or 6+6+6 and Jupiter rotates round the (360 degrees or 12 constellations) Sun + one constellation being 12+1 is 13. 13 is the change number of cycles, this takes Jupiter 671 weeks to do, 5 for Grace or grace over death and 666 the warning number. So God, Jesus and Holy Spirit on this day were being attacked in 3 ways. By Mars, in the Jugular, The Moon under Leo, and Jupiter the Major 666 clock is at Leo’s throat. You can see now that Astrology and Astronomy are in the Bible, and God uses them to provide signs for us, as warnings of what is happening. The Sun and Moon are also there for seasons, in order for farmers to know when to plant crops and fishermen to go fishing, all still used today by the learned person.

You will see that it is all in the stars and movement of the planets that God created. God set it all in motion and he made the Angels, the Stars, including the Law of Vibration and Harmony to control it all as well as the law of, you reap is what you sow . After all God is interested in people. Jesus did not die for the planets or the universe, "for God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son for us so that if we only believe we might have Eternal life" . God made the laws and the Angels to control it all while he focused on his most precious creation - Human Beings. In Genesis 1 v14 – 18 KJV And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. We see that God said they will rule over the earth and they “stars and planets” can be used for signs and seasons. In other words Astronomy and Astrology and the cycles of such for timing and calculations . Jesus said in Luke 21 v 11 KJV And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Let’s just look at this scripture, situations inserted for clarity in relation to today’s world. And great earthquakes (including sinkholes) shall be in diverse places, and famines (3,400,000 people die each year due to lack of clean water), and pestilences ( Modified Ebola, Bubonic Plague & Aids - man made diseases); and fearful sights (Wars) Aliens, bottomless pit (Energy Prison) opened and great signs shall there be from heaven. Like this one Woman in Heaven giving birth as a warning to people on earth things are going to get a lot worse. He gave us so many tools to help us if we only do the research. He made it extremely complex for those who have unbelief and extremely simple if one just has faith as a grain of mustard seed to believe!

The five authoritive papers presented here are the product of long careers of research into Anglo-Saxon culture. In detail the subject areas and approaches are very different, yet all are cross-disciplinary and the same texts and artefacts weave through several of them. Literary text is used to interpret both history and art; ecclesiastical-historical circumstances explain the adaptation of usage of a literary text; wealth and religious learning, combined with old and foreign artistic motifs are blended into the making of new books with multiple functions; religio-socio-economic circumstances are the background to changes in burial ritual. The common element is transformation, the Anglo-Saxon ability to rework older material for new times and the necessary adaptation to new circumstances. The papers originated as five recent Toller Memorial Lectures hosted by the Manchester Centre for Anglo-Saxon Studies (MANCASS).

In Is Russia Fascist?, Marlene Laruelle argues that the charge of "fascism" has become a strategic narrative of the current world order. Vladimir Putin's regime has increasingly been accused of embracing fascism, supposedly evidenced by Russia's annexation of Crimea, its historical revisionism, attacks on liberal democratic values, and its support for far-right movements in Europe. But at the same time Russia has branded itself as the world's preeminent antifascist power because of its sacrifices during the Second World War while it has also emphasized how opponents to the Soviet Union in Central and Eastern Europe collaborated with Nazi Germany. Laruelle closely analyzes accusations of fascism toward Russia, soberly assessing both their origins and their accuracy. By labeling ideological opponents as fascist, regardless of their actual values or actions, geopolitical rivals are able to frame their own vision of the world and claim the moral high ground. Through a detailed examination of the Russian domestic scene and the Kremlin's foreign policy rationales, Laruelle disentangles the foundation for, meaning, and validity of accusations of fascism in and around Russia. Is Russia Fascist? shows that the efforts to label opponents as fascist is ultimately an attempt to determine the role of Russia in Europe's future.
