Open Access Monograph Series: New Voices In Classical Reception Studies Conference Proceedings

New Voices In Classical Reception Studies Conference Proceedings

We welcome submissions to our Conference Proceedings series. If you are organising a conference panel on any aspect of Classical Reception then we would be interested in hearing from you. Our aim is to take innovative panels on Classical Reception and to offer a path to publication, so that such research can move in a timely fashion into the public domain. All submissions will undergo a process of peer review and the expectation is that oral papers will undergo a full conversion into written research papers with all the usual scholarly apparatus.

Peplum: Images de l'Antiquité Cinema et BD

Bienvenue sur le site
PEPLVM - IMAGES DE L'ANTIQUITE,
dévoué au cinéma et à la BD historico-mythologiques.

Pour les cinéphiles puristes, le «péplum» est un genre cinématographique spécifiquement italien, qui n'a rien à voir avec le cinéma américain à grand spectacle (dans lequel cas on parle de «films épiques», toutes époques historiques confondues).
Pour nous, est un «péplum» tout film italien, américain ou biélo-slovaque traitant d'un épisode de l'Antiquité - quel que soit son souci de sérieux ou sa volonté de parodie.
Qu'il s'agisse d'un dessin animé de Walt Disney (Hercule) ou d'un hardcore dénué d'imagination (The Private Gladiator), d'un film «art et essais» comme Les Jeunes Aphrodites de Nikos Koundouros ou d'une fable politique à la Pasolini (Médée, OEdipe-Roi...), d'une superproduction hollywoodienne comme Ben Hur ou Cléopâtre ou des aventures déjantées de Maciste (lesquelles, toujours, réveilleront nos nostalgies d'enfant), ou encore un shakespearien Jules César, façon Mankiewicz ou une trop rare merveille du petit écran comme Rome, la série-culte produite par H.B.O. ! Toutes ont notre faveur, parfois désabusée, mais soit... Seule nous importe la vision d'un monde révolu, naïve peut-être, inintéressante jamais. Nous aimerions partager avec vous notre amour de l'Histoire Antique dont nous sommes redevable à ce cinéma et à ces bandes dessinées qui avaient connu leur heure de gloire dans les fabuleuses Golden Sixties.

ICFA holds a small collection of black-and-white and color 16mm moving images: the Red Sea Monastery of Saint Anthony in Egypt, the Hagia Sophia and Kariye Camii in Istanbul, Turkey, and the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens in Washington, D.C. For preservation, ICFA's moving image collection was sent to Colorlab in Rockville, MD in October 2011; the reformatting project was completed in March 2012. Currently, all of the original films are safely stored in ICFA’s cold storage area. Digital copies for these films are available online through Vimeo at Byzantine Institute Films and Dumbarton Oaks Gardens.

The films of the Red Sea Monastery of Saint Anthony, Hagia Sophia, and Kariye Camii are part of ICFA's leading archival collection:

The Byzantine Institute and Dumbarton Oaks Fieldwork Records and Papers

Meanwhile, the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens film is part of ICFA's general collection. It was re-discovered in early 2011 when ICFA staff learned that three (3) film reels in cold storage contained footage of the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens. For background information about the films, please refer to these related blog posts:

• Dumbarton Oaks Gardens Film

The Byzantine Institute and Dumbarton Oaks Fieldwork Records and Papers contains one (1) black-and-white film of the Red Sea Monastery of Saint Anthony, filmed in 1930, which constitutes unique documentation of the monastery of Saint Anthony, the everyday life of the monks and local men, and the surrounding landscape. This film documents the first official project undertaken by the Byzantine Institute and Thomas Whittemore, which occurred between 1929 and 1932.

Thomas Whittemore was the founder and director of the Byzantine Institute, a non-profit organization that was established in 1930 to conserve, restore, study, and document the Byzantine monuments, sites, architecture, and arts in the former Byzantine Empire.

In June 1931, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the first President of the Republic of Turkey, permitted Whittemore and the Byzantine Institute to uncover and restore the mosaics in Hagia Sophia. In the late 1940s, the Byzantine Institute continued its restoration and conservation work at Hagia Sophia and also initiated a similar campaign at Kariye Camii in 1947, which lasted until 1959.

ICFA has twenty-one (21) 16mm color moving images that document the conservation and restoration work executed by the Byzantine Institute staff in Hagia Sophia between the years 1936 and 1940. There is also one (2) color film of the work at Kariye Camii, which was filmed before Whittemore's death in June 1950. Similarly, it illustrates the cleaning and restoration work carried out by the Byzantine Institute fieldworkers.

These movies were widely used by Thomas Whittemore to demonstrate the important work of the Byzantine Institute and to raise funds to continue the cleaning and conservation work at Hagia Sophia and Kariye Camii.
