#19c — Public Fediverse posts

Hat die aktuelle französische Geschichtsschreibung die inspirierenderen Themen? Heute in Nanterre beim Workshop über "Pausen" und "tote Zeiten", die Momente, wenn das Tempo während Revolutionen im 19. Jahrhundert sich verlangsamt. Eine Veranstaltung zu Ehren von Sylvie Aprile, die in den Ruhestand gehen wird #19c #histodons #revolution "Après-coups et temps morts : quand le tempo révolutionnaire s'arrête"

A 2nd update from this yearlong scholarly adventures. Diving into all things #AI including a glorious AI & Humanities non #NEH summer institute, a #GovAI panel on AI workforce, a keynote on resisting the romance of innovation -- but staying focused on my lil' #19c books

I briefly mentioned that I’ve started a PhD with Greenwich Uni where I’ll be looking at female gardeners and environmentalists in the long 19th century. Who are the best people to follow here into that topic? Any ideas? #history #victorian #19C #gardening #gardeners #environment 🌱

How to choose some fresh NON-relational Databases for our enterprises and customers when facing diverse databases types? Actually this is not easy to answer the question ... As well-known as @oracledatabase firstly brought up the concept of converged database on the version #19c and then entirely achieves the corresponding functions, in other words, starts supporting multiple-model databases to perfectly converge them into one oracle database product, which meets the variety of requirement of enterprise and customer.

Here's brief introduction https://lnkd.in/gitfDcp7 from #MariaColgan but you probably prefer to see the interesting video as below. 🙃

Chubby Babies and Muscle-Bound Men: Fat & the Body in the Long 19th Century!

A new book from @lynnkennedy.bsky.social and Dr. Amy Shaw, forthcoming this year from the University of Toronto Press.

As part of the big house declutter (a long project to precede the BIG MOVE next year, I finally unboxed all my copies of the Lady’s Magazine and found them a home). #ladysmagperiodicals #rarebooks #18c #19c

c18.masto.host remains open to new members with an interest in the #18thcentury!

I started this instance on 1 Nov. 2022 in order to establish a home for colleagues in interdisciplinary global #18c studies (with many neighbors joining from #17c and #19c). We had a big push of new members in November and December, along with a donation drive to cover server costs. Early this year, many created placeholder accounts but were not yet ready to dive in. As the community grows, I hope they return!

#BelAmi fertig gelesen, und die gesellschaftlichen Eliten können froh und dankbar sein, dass jemand vom Kaliber #Maupassant (oder #Flaubert oder #Zola) weit und breit nicht zu sehen ist. Oder heute nicht schreibt, sondern was anderes macht. Das könnte tatsächlich auch sein. #Literatur #Realismus #Naturalismus #19c

„mais, comme il éprouvait une peine infinie à découvrir des idées, il prit la spécialité des déclamations sur la décadence des mœurs, sur l’abaissement des caractères, l’affaissement du patriotisme et l’anémie de l’honneur français.“ — Das ist von 1885, aus #BelAmi von #Maupassant. Und das beschreibt den Alltag eines deutschen Feuilletonhengstes 2023 sehr gut.

#BelAmi einfach auch sehr interessanter Roman über das französische Pressewesen und den intrinsischen Zusammenhang mit politischer und ökonomischer Manipulation.

Today I am writing about the myriorama, a #19c parlor amusement that took the form of a box of cards imprinted with bits of scenery. The idea was that one could rearrange the cards to form ever new landscapes, & from 16 cards, it was said, obtain 20,922,789,999,000 variations.

Mit dem zweiten Erzählungsband von #Maupassant durch, La Maison Tellier. Ich mochte das sehr, gerade weil das eine sehr wilde Mischung ist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Ich habe eine Open Source eBook-Ausgabe gelesen, aber die gab es auf Goodreads nicht.

Uuh, Sur l’eau in La Maison Tellier auch schon richtig gruselig. #Maupassant #Literatur #Frankreich #Horror #Weird #19C

Finde jetzt #Maupassant s Contes / Nouvelles so interessant, werde mir noch Maison Tellier holen und vielleicht Bel Ami, was natürlich ein Roman ist. #Literatur #19C #KleineFormen #Gesellschaftsroman

Ok, I should be working on a tenure review today, but instead am going down internet rabbit-holes. The latest involves a collection of #scrapbooks kept by the students of #AmherstCollege in the late #19c, a young man named William Belcher Whitney included. Here is an esp strange & imho creepy page, on which he's arranged into a heart shape the hairpins he's collected from his acquaintance at #MtHolyoke. There's a great discussion of this book on the Amherst Special Collections blog, ca 2012.

With so many scenes of farewell on the Bird app today, it is high time for some #album verse from the #19c, which used the language of flowers to plead “Forget Me Not.”
This page of #collage, w/ poem & floral sprigs, is in the John Hearne album at the YCBA.
Remember me, tweeps!

What is better than a #19C #book #title? They promise you EVERYTHING...

Since almost everything has seemed this week to be declining and falling, it seems high time to share one of the strangest paintings at the Harvard Art Museum: Charles Bird King’s 1830 “The Vanity of the Artist’s Dream.” I am also motivated by my hope that @dbellingradt might be persuaded to do one of his paper spotting analyses on this image.

I keep thinking about Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward: 2000-1887, a story that took as it’s grounding premise that by socializing the profit motive and essentially turning the entire nation into laborers for one massive corporate entity, utopia could be achieved. I think about it bc whether it’s bailing out high risk losses during crisis or bankruptcy laws that privilege speculation or re-categorizing rights to corporate personhood, socialism exists for the profit motive #19c #victodon #utopia

The call for PhD applications will soon be opening up around here (deadline 1 March 23): it's relatively competitive (only for top 10–15% of MA students & a detailed proposal needed), but it's also a VERY generous programme: 4y, excellent salary + bench fee, working conditions, independence. Are you (or do you know anyone) who'd be a great researcher, with a great idea—on #Romanticism, very (very!) long #19C #18C ; British and/or transnational/comparative? Do get in touch! #phd #academic
