Fashion, time and the consumption of a Renaissance man in Germany: the costume book of Matthaus Schwarz of Augsburg, 1496-1564

This article uses the perspective of cultural anthropology to consider the construction of an early modern perception of time and its relation to the dress and personal consumption of a male subject. It focuses on a costume book from the Renaissance compiled by Matthäus Schwarz, a member of the bourgeoisie, who lived in Augsburg from 1496 to 1574. The book contains a collection of 137 drawings, portraying Schwarz’s personal choice of dress. It is also an account of Schwarz’s life, beginning with his parents, then covering his life–stages from birth to old age. The relationships between body and dress and between the male subject and the world run as a major thread through the book. This article shows how closely connected Schwarz’s body is with the life of commodities (dress) and consumption. The life–story of this Renaissance man is expressed in terms of changing fashions, which act as his subjective measure of time.

A man for the people

Abstract

This study focuses on hospitality in Tanzania, as a topic of historical importance. Although there are many references to hospitality within both primary and secondary sources and anecdotal accounts, hospitality is effectively unexplored in the historical scholarship for any part of sub-Saharan Africa. Looking at southwestern Tanzania between 1600 and 1900 as a case study, this work aims to make hospitality, for the first time, primary focus of historical study rather than a peripheral and passing allusion. Towards that end, I examine why and when some societies chose to extend hospitality to outsiders and strangers. In southwestern Tanzania between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, extending hospitality to guests, strangers, and ‘foreign residents’ was a paramount value and social expectation, which could result in inclusion of outsiders. Hospitality towards newcomers became a cultural norm. I contend that direct, immediate, and personal gain was far less important than a circulation of hospitality. In the long term social and political institutions were buoyed by this moral expectation. In order to demonstrate these claims, I employ proverbs, oral traditions, and explorers’ accounts as historical evidence for hospitality's enduring salience in shifting contexts in southwestern Tanzania from precolonial times into the twentieth century.     

中国书法艺术的宏篇巨制——论《中国书法传世极品大幅仿真系列——傅山书法》

傅山书法艺术是我国传统文化遗产中的瑰宝,也是海外研究中国古老文化的艺术宝藏,被国内外学书者奉为楷模。但由于傅山的书法原作墨迹十分珍贵,加之有大多数精品被收藏于我国各大博物馆与私人手中,人们难得一见,这样对社会各界人士的鉴赏、收藏及临摹造成了诸多的不便。过去,虽有一些傅山书法书籍传世或印行出版,但终因尺幅所限,观者只能欣赏到傅山书法之形似,难以真正欣赏到傅山书法之神似,犹如雾里看花,水中望月。近年来,国内外许多画家、学者、专家,尤其是日本、 韩国等国代表团,每年数十次专程到山西省博物馆、晋祠博物馆…
