An angel’s power in a bishop’s body: the making of the cult of Aubert of Avranches at Mont-Saint-Michel

In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the Benedictine monks of Mont-Saint Michel promoted the cult of Aubert of Avranches, the abbey’s legendary co-founder, and used his newly rediscovered relics as a means of accessing the patronage and power of the elusive, incorporeal archangel Michael, the community’s other founder. Texts, images, the strategic placement of Aubert’s relics throughout the abbey church reinforced the association between these two saints, rendering Aubert more powerful and Michael more accessible. This local study of the interaction between these two cults at the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel suggests that medieval monastic uses of relics were more creative and varied than is generally recognized and that relationships between saints within a single cultic environment could be extremely complex and unstable.

液相色谱质谱联用法研究红花染纺织品褪色分子机理

以红花染纺织品作为主要研究对象,通过紫外光和LED两种光老化方式,研究不同褪色因素影响下纺织品中显色组分红花苷的降解变化情况,实验发现不同酸化作用对红花苷造成不同的影响。采用液相色谱质谱联用的方法,鉴定出红花苷、芹菜素等多种组分,并首次从红花中鉴定出国外报道的但一直未确定的组分Ct4的分子结构,实际是三香豆酰亚精胺,一种酚酰胺类化合物,可作为一种染色工艺指标对现代染和古代染色工艺进行区分。以故宫院藏两件红花染褪色纺织品文物为例阐述褪色机理,显色组分红花苷的降解,产生不同程度的裂化产物小分子,使原本微量存在的三香豆酰亚精胺相对含量增高,从而造成褪色明显,文物在长期日晒下正面原本红色外观呈现橘色打底。同时强调了博物馆应高度重视相同类型文物保存环境中的挥发性酸性气体监测。     

Disability and the practice of public history: an introduction

Museums, exhibitions, and public history have long engaged with the subject matter of disability. Shared social conventions and exhibition traditions about people with disabilities--the common stereotypes of people as persevering heroes or objects of pity--have often led to skewed and inaccurate historical presentations. The medical model of disability, equally strong in framing disability, has also reduced the range of possibilities for including content for the public. More recently, greater understanding of diversity and of the importance of interpreting the history of all people has begun to push inclusion beyond simple issues into content.
