An Uncommon Instance of Egyptian Blue in the “Pigmented Intonachino” of the Fishpond Wall Painting From the Roman Villa of Torre di Pordenone (Northeast Italy)
The increasingly close integration of analytical techniques in the study of Greek and Roman wall paintings has shown that Egyptian blue was a common pigment, widely documented in the production of blue and greenish hues in ancient painted production. This study reports on a peculiar use of this synthetic pigment identified in wall‐painting fragments recovered from secondary deposits at the Roman villa of “Torre di Pordenone” (Friuli‐Venezia‐Giuli…

Artist-Run Space as a Symbolic Interaction in the Art World of Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Yogyakarta, Indonesia, has a dynamic art scene with thirty exhibition spaces where sixty-five exhibitions are held annually. Almost twenty of them are owned by artists, usually referred to as artist-run spaces. The art world's dynamics are shaped by the interactions within it, involving traditions, innovations, collective actions, and individual expressions, deeply rooted in symbolic interactions. This paper examines how Artist-Run Space as Symbo…
Caveat Emptor
Authors such as Scribonius Largus, Dioscorides, Pliny the Elder, and Galen were concerned with the materials used to treat illness and warned consumers against rampant fraud practiced in the ancient drug industry. Reading these texts alongside the archaeological evidence for ancient medicine, such as stamps for collyria (eye salves) and the containers and labels used to package the products, makes it possible to understand a commercial market fra…

Villanovan culture
The label “Villanovan culture” describes the Early Iron Age (ca. 900–700 BCE ), cultures of central and northern Italy, specifically in the areas of Etruria and the province of Reggio‐Emilia. Giovanni Gozzadini created this label in 1853 when he recognized what he saw as a distinct cultural period among artifacts from the Podere di Caselle necropolis near Bologna; his nearby estate provided inspiration for the name Villanovan.
The S. Omobono Sanctuary in Rome
This article presents the preliminary results of a new research and fieldwork project on the site of S. Omobono in the area of the river harbour of Rome. At S. Omobono, a series of excavation campaigns between the 1930s and the 1990s partially exposed a sequence of major cult buildings dating between the 6th century BCE and the 2nd century CE. Important architectural pieces, inscriptions and imported Greek wares found at the site have attracted a…

Chapter Four. The economic agency of the etruscan temple
The Etruscan sanctuary was a social nexus that, like the city, offered a place for meeting and social competition, furnished leadership roles to elites and, at times, provided valuable resources to its worshipers. In order to understand the social and economic roles of the sanctuary, this chapter considers the ritual nature of the Etruscan sanctuary in order to look beyond the sacral purposes to glean the underlying social functions it served. Et…
Georges Perec's Experiments in Social Description
This article dissects some key works, published in the 1960s and 1970s, by French writer Georges Perec to argue that they can be understood, in different ways, as forms of ethnographic writing utilizing approaches, methods and stylistic devices which remain highly pertinent to ethnographic practices today. The devices in Perec's repertoire include minutely detailed descriptions, lists, the use of imperfect and conditional tenses, significant but …

Linking Management Behavior to Ethical Philosophy--An Empirical Investigation.
Ethical theory is linked to management behavior by classifying responses of managers to a series of vignettes according to the ethical theory represented by the response. The vignettes represent ethical dilemmas in the following areas: (I) coercion and control, (2) conflict of interest, (3) physical environment, (4) paternalism, and (5) personal integrity.
Education for Autonomy
ADORNO: The requirement of autonomy or independent thinking seems self-evident in a democracy. To clarify this claim, I would like to refer to the beginning of Kant's short treatise, A Response to the Question: What Is Enlightenment? There he defines tutelage — and thus also implicitly its opposite, autonomy — as self-incurred when its causes are not a lack of understanding but a lack of the resolve and courage to use one's understanding without …

Negative Affect and Plasma Testosterone
The association between mood and plasma testosterone was investigated. Every second day for 2 months, a Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist was filled out by 20 young men. Blood samples taken at the same time were analyzed for testosterone concentration. Relationships between hostility, anxiety, and depression and plasma testosterone levels were tested both within and across individuals. Intrasubject correlation coefficients between affects and h…
