Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Self-Reported Quality of Life Impacts on University Student and Older Adult Neighbors in a Personal Care Home Community
Intergenerational living emphasizes socialization and cooperation across generations. This mixed methods study describes a novel intergenerational community in a personal care home that situates graduate health science students as neighbors to older adult residents. The study aims to assess student attitudes about aging and the impact on quality of life from both student and older adult resident perspectives. Quantitative student outcomes were as…
Don Quijote y los orígenes de los mapas publicados en libros a comienzos de la era moderna europea
La creciente importancia de la literatura como signo de la identidad nacional transformó cómo los mapas eran valorados durante la Ilustración. En la primera parte de este ensayo, se examinará cómo se visualizaba el componente cartográfico de los dibujos y los mapas incluidos en ediciones de Don Quijote publicadas en el siglo XVIII y en siglos anteriores también, ya que, curiosamente, la obra no aparecía adornada con mapas hasta la edición de 1780…
Medieval polychromy from Parisian Gothic sculptures (1145–1250)
Spanishness and Race in North American Monumental Architecture
The representation of Spain, and Spanishness in general, at sites of collective identity in the United States and Canada requires scholarly attention. Many monuments, which range from statues and museums to capitol buildings and national parks, continue to commemorate colonial times despite broader public awareness of the association between colonization and racialized violence, as well as the explicit movement toward decolonization. This commemo…
Introduction to Resistance and Transformation in the Globalized South
Introduction
Resistance, Protest, and Knowledge
Scholars have yet to consider how medievalism offers a potent retreat from the settler-colonial project precisely because the Indigenous Middle Ages excluded Europe, and vice versa, through the mechanism of nonmodernity. By considering how modern Indigenous authors and artists reach to medieval-nonmodern Indigenous and European forms of expression in Ibero-America and Latin America, we theorize how medievalism was and remains a significant tool o…
A typical postwar workshop
Simon Hantaï (1922–2008) was a highly influential postwar painter in Paris whose innovative serial practice, creative curiosity and theoretical convictions inspired a number of his contemporaries. His art media are typical of the period, consisting of commercial artists’ products, sold in tubes and cans, which were available to artists in Europe and beyond. We have studied a series of samples from the brands Lefebvre-Foinet, Lefranc & Bourgeois a…

Beads and Ceremony
A powerful bead network that wove together a transcontinental tapestry of cultures predated the Spanish invasion of the Americas. Beads created in the northeastern Atlantic world found themselves in Aztec and Incan territories, as did beads made from rocks found in the Pacific Northwest, all of which had been borne along trade networks that have existed for ages. Sixteenth-century illustrations found in the Mexican codices demonstrate the traditi…

Canada's Place Names and How to Change Them
New folk music and folk-song materials in this comprehensive study are particularly important for singers, folk music enthusiasts, ethnomusicologists, comparative and cultural studies scholars, and those interested in Canadian culture. LaRena Clark was a great singer and knew many fine songs. Her wide repertoire covers almost the complete range of types and topics of traditional Anglo-Canadian songs. Comparison with other collections in Canada, t…

La datation des cuirs dorés
Dans le domaine des arts décoratifs, l’utilisation de cuir doré, le plus souvent peint, semble apparaître dans les royaumes ibériques à la fin du Ier millénaire après J.-C., peu après la conquête arabe. Ces cuirs dorés connurent leur apogée dans la péninsule espagnole au xvie siècle. Ils étaient souvent employés pour confectionner des tentures murales et des images pieuses. Comparativement à leur importante production, peu de ces décors sont parv…
Datation par la méthode du radiocarbone du blanc de plomb
Le blanc de plomb est constitué de deux carbonates de plomb, la cérusite et l’hydrocérusite. Utilisé comme pigment de peinture et comme ingrédient cosmétique, il était synthétisé par corrosion de plomb métallique en présence de vinaigre et d’un apport extérieur en dioxyde de carbone (CO2), produit le plus souvent par du fumier de cheval. Ces deux réactifs organiques portent une signature isotopique 14C pouvant être transférée aux produits ainsi f…
Euro-Settler Place Naming Practices for North America through a Gendered and Racialized Lens
The rich fabric of place names knitting together the Americas weaves into a complex intercultural network of naming practices that span thousands of years as well as the globe. Indigenous, European, and settler communities each bestowed names upon places near and far whose meanings describe the place, its resources, or one’s experiences there. Names define the people who occupy a place. They commemorate an event or person in ways that evidence th…
Calcium Oxalate Radiocarbon Dating
The direct dating of rock paintings is not always possible due to the lack of organic carbon compounds in pigments, or because sampling from a heritage site is often restricted. To overcome these limitations, dating laboratories have to develop new approaches. In this study, we consider sampling calcium oxalate crusts covering the painted artworks as a way to indirectly date the rock art. This stratigraphic approach includes isolating and extract…

Quality control procedures have been developed at the Laboratoire de Mesure du Carbone 14 (LMC14) national laboratory throughout the years of operation. Routine procedures are applied to sample preparation depending on their composition and their size. The tuning of the ARTEMIS AMS facility, hosted by the LMC14 laboratory, uses an accurate procedure. A batch of unknown samples is measured with accompanying samples (primary and secondary standards…

Radiocarbon Dating and the Protection of Cultural Heritage
The modern antiquities market uses radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating to screen for forged objects. Although this fact shows the potential and power of the method, the circumstances where it is applied can be questionable and call for our attention. Here we present an outline of a call to radiocarbon laboratories for due diligence and best practice approaches to the analysis of antique objects requested by non-research clients
Thermal Decomposition of Lead White for Radiocarbon Dating of Paintings
Lead carbonates were used as cosmetic and pigment since Antiquity. The pigment, known as lead white, was generally composed of cerussite and hydrocerussite. Unlike most ancient pigments, lead white was obtained by a synthetic route involving metallic lead, vinegar and organic matter. Fermentation of organic matter produces heat and CO 2 emission, leading to the formation of carbonates. As lead white is formed by trapping CO 2 , radiocarbon ( 14 C…

A Study of the Silvering Process of the Gallo‐roman Coins Forged During the Third Century Ad
We have observed by fast neutron activation analysis (FNAA) that the global composition of the official silver coins of the Gallic emperor Postumus is not the same as those from the contemporary unofficial mints. In order to explain this phenomenon, we have carried out a metallographic study of the artefacts. Then, we have re‐created the silvering process of unofficial coins in order to better understand the manufacturing process of silvering. Th…

Non-Destructive Portable Analytical Techniques for Carbon In Situ Screening Before Sampling for Dating Prehistoric Rock Paintings
Direct dating of prehistoric paintings is playing a major role in Paleolithic art studies. Very few figures can be directly dated since the necessary condition is that they contain organic carbon-based material. Thus, it is very important to check the presence of organic carbon-based material in situ before sampling in order to protect the visual integrity of the paintings or drawings. We have tested and compared 3 different portable analytical s…

The travelogue of a Moroccan ambassador to Charles II, 1690-91
An unpublished manuscript, containing a unique version of a travelogue, documented the travels of a Moroccan ambassador to the court of Charles II in 1690–91 to negotiate a prisoner exchange as well as the return of a number of Arabic-language manuscripts held at the royal palace near Madrid. After summarising and comparing the travelogue to other known copies, this article explores how this narrative came to reside at the University of Seville's…

Pieter van der Beke
This study explores the relatively unknown author of a 1538 map of Flanders, Pieter van der Beke, and the cartographic and cultural environment in which it was produced. To this end, the possible influences the map had throughout the Low Lands will be considered in light of the Reform movement popularized during this period, but also in light of the Fall of Ghent in 1539 as an indication of Imperial control that would, under Philip II, become the…
Claiming California
Early modern European knowledge about California was informed by the impressions of the first explorers as well as by more empirical information collected over the centuries that followed, and from which the shape and extent of that territory slowly grew out of the shadows of terra incognita and Spanish possession of it became consolidated. National claims on its periphery, however, provoked continued debate about the geographical scope of Califo…

The author of this book ambitiously seeks to recover documentation that reveals the extent to which Muslims and Moriscos—individuals of Muslim background who had converted to Christianity—were incorporated into the Spanish New World. One of this book's strengths is the author's attempt to expose the reader to the subverted voices of early modern Muslims and Moriscos, either through the archival sources recording both their firsthand perspectives …

Race and Labor in Sixteenth-Century Seville through the Prism of Accounting Books ( Hijuelas ) from the Reales Alcázares
Hijuelas furnish scholars with more than account balances and bills paid: ledgers such as the ones that detailed the expenses of Seville’s sixteenth-century Alcázar also yield important insight into the facility’s work environment. These hardly studied ledgers describe the workers’ backgrounds, including their wages and any special accommodations they required, as well as the transaction of material goods, which in this period included slaves. Th…
Martín Cortés
The author of this book promises to examine the relatively unstudied life of Martín Cortés (1533–89), the second of two sons by that name born to one of Mexico's most famous Spanish colonizers, Hernando Cortés (1485–1547). Her laborious contribution to this topic will benefit sixteenth-century historians and Hispanists because she brings to light important archival sources that together with secondary sources compose a portrait of the second marq…
