#MacabeKeliher. “Ritual in the Early Modern World: Proliferation, State-Formation, and the Work of the Manchu Surrender Ceremony.” Journal of World History 35:3 (2024): 377–406.
Abstract:
#Ritual permeated the early modern world. While historians have explored ritual in regional and national contexts, little work has made sense of it as a global phenomenon. As a consequence, scholars continue to give primacy to bureaucracies and militaries in accounts of #premodern state-formation. This article examines ritual in relation to early modern social and political developments, especially territorial expansion and increasing interactions. It argues that as polities contracted and empires expanded rulers relied on ritual just as much as institutional and administrative measures. Ritual was a key mechanism to do the work of inclusion and social organization in #governance and territorial expansion. In order to begin to theorize what ritual did and how it did it, the article turns to an empirical case study of the #Manchu surrender ceremony in the mid-seventeenth century. Through a close examination of the rite and its political and social background the article shows how ritual did the work of constructing and reconstructing social and political orders in the context of expanding #empires in a quickly changing world. Ritual, it is argued, constructed social orders and created subjunctives that helped political actors navigate fraught political and social relations.

Africa & #Byzantium
#Art #history has long emphasized the glories of the Byzantine Empire (circa 330–1453), but less known are the profound #artistic contributions of North Africa, #Egypt, #Nubia, #Ethiopia, and other powerful African #kingdoms whose pivotal interactions with Byzantium had a lasting impact on the #Mediterranean world. Bringing together a range of masterworks—from #mosaic, #sculpture, #pottery, and #metalwork to #luxury objects, #paintings, and religious #manuscripts—this exhibition recounts #Africa’s central role in international networks of #trade and #cultural exchange. With artworks rarely or never before seen in public, Africa & Byzantium sheds new light on the staggering #artistic achievements of #medieval Africa. This long-overdue exhibition highlights how the continent contributed to the development of the #premodern world and offers a more complete #history of the vibrant #multiethnic societies of north and east Africa that shaped the artistic, #economic and cultural life of Byzantium and beyond.

"After analysing DNA from almost 10,000 people from ancient and pre-modern societies, our international team of researchers have discovered six cases of Down syndrome in past human populations.
Our results..show how people with Down syndrome lived in ancient populations. Although these individuals were very young when they died, they were all buried with care, indicating they were appreciated as members of their communities"

Does anyone else think it's silly the degree to which #historians of the #premodern past try to take whatever #modern historians are thinking about, and say, "We have something very similar, just earlier"?
Sure, the premodern past is the context for the deep roots of the present, but it is also the menagerie of alternatives. I think premodern history needs not only to give the longer trajectory of the present, but also relativize and denaturalize the seeming inevitability of what we inherited from our grandparents.

📢 New Book Alert!
📜 'Synopses and Lists: Textual Practices in the Pre-Modern World' is out now!
Textual practices in #premodern societies cover many representations, from the #literary to the #pictorial. Among the most intriguing are #synopses and lists. While lists provide a complete enumeration of ideas, people, events, or terms, synopses juxtapose one against the other.
To understand how they were planned, produced, and consumed, is to gain insight into the practices of what one can call the management of #knowledge in a time before our own.
This volume offers a #historical and transcultural perspective on synopses and lists, highlighting the centrality of these textual practices to allow storing, retrieving, selecting, and organising this knowledge. Both make deliberate – yet not always explicit – choices as to what is included and excluded, thereby creating lasting hierarchies and canons.

Entered the classroom today to teach my #premodern #Korean #history #class and found the entire first-year group in the Korean MA #program in festive attire. They even brought some (homemade) delicacies to invigorate the atmosphere - of course everyone had more motivation to discuss Joseon #social history!

Right around the time the birdsite started to disintegrate, I shared the link for the (as yet bare-bones) Premodern Trans Studies Crowdsourced Annotated Bibliography. Please share and contribute if you can.
(I created it out of enthusiasm, but it's really not the thing I'm most knowledgeable.)

I love #TraditionalMusic from many parts of the world, but don’t play it, or even much sing it, but for #SeaShanties, which you are encouraged to sing even when your volume exceeds your tunefulness.
I am fascinated by #HandCrafted things, and I want to get back into #ceramics and learn more #crochet, but mainly make #papiermâché, especially masks.
I am fascinated by #archaeology and #PreModern and #EarlyModern history and literature, especially, but not exclusively #plays.
