Modelling India. Unfired clay figurines and the East India Company's collections: from devotional icons to didactic displays

AbstractA well-known series of miniature figures produced in India from unfired clay, appropriately clothed and in many instances represented carrying out their respective secular or ritual duties, enjoyed a period of particular popularity on the world stage in the nineteenth century when they were appropriated as illustrative devices in museum displays and international exhibitions. Over the previous half-century or more they had emerged as products of a dynamic industry that responded to changes in taste as well as religious and artistic practice within Indian society, before being taken up by the West to serve new colonial imperatives. There they received perhaps their most enthusiastic reception at the India Museum, established in the headquarters of the East India Company in London in the early 1800s, and surviving beyond the suppression of the Company itself until they were dispersed to a number of other institutions in 1879. From an early appearance at the Great Exhibition in 1851, the figures also became a regular feature of the international exhibitions of the latter part of the century. Initially they celebrated the traditional crafts and practices of India but gradually were recruited to communicate other messages of Western industrial dominance and perceived artistic and industrial superiority. Although comparatively few of these figures survive intact in Western collections, the history of their considerable impact on the European stage can be enlarged upon with the aid of the documentary record.

Dynamic and Multipurpose Teaching Models at the First International Exhibition of Mathematics Teaching Material

The International Commission for the Study and Improvement of Mathematical Education (1950) was interested in updating and developing teaching resources to address the pedagogical problems of mathematics teaching in the mid-1950s. As a result of this concern, the First International Exhibition of Mathematical Teaching Material was held in Spain in 1957, an event that had great international repercussions. This work is situated in the field of the history of mathematics education, so the research method used is historical. The aim is to study those mathematical didactic models which, due to their dynamic and multipurpose nature, stood out at the Exhibition. The results show that these materials contributed favorably to the teaching of mathematics, as they made it possible to work on a wide variety of topics and provided numerous advantages over traditional material. The use of these models meant that the mathematical notions or ideas generally arose from the action that the child carried out with the material; they also made the student the main protagonist of their learning.

Exhibition management as part of the academic management: synthesis of an experience

The pandemic marked the activity planners and numerous exhibitions were organized online. However, this did not reduce their significance. The role of exhibitions is indisputable, so the Academy of Sciences of Moldova has carried out multiple large-scale events, emphasizing the scientific, innovative and artistic achievements of the community.

Response to Issue 31(2) on World's Fairs

World's fairs and international exhibitions do not cease to fascinate researchers. Just as the objects, people and ideas on display at these massive events captivated their audiences, many humanities disciplines have studied exhibitions with similar curiosity and interest. A vast number of publications comprising articles, monographs, anthologies and special issues have been written on individual world's fairs, histories of exhibitions in a single country, or the participation of a specific country in the expositions. They are approached from various subject areas, but most commonly and fruitfully from anthropology, ethnography or ethnology, or from my discipline, which is the history of art and design. While all of these have different methods, they often share their study material. Historians of art and design have examined, for example, the architecture of fairs, the design of the grounds, and exhibits of the visual arts, but also performances and displays of native people. And this is where the interests of art history meet anthropology.

DIPLOMASI DIGITAL INDONESIA SEBAGAI ALAT PROMOSI PARIWISATA RAJA AMPAT

This research describes Indonesia's position in promoting Raja Ampat tourism by using soft power in the form of digital diplomacy. For this reason, a qualitative method was used with an online interview approach and using the conceptual framework of digital diplomacy and tourism. The results of this study indicate that digital diplomacy regarding Raja Ampat's tourism potential is carried out using the branding "Wonderful Indonesia", and "Pesona Indonesia" digitally through the websites and also through several social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram). It was found that there were several obstacles that needed to get the relevant Government's attention. namely, the limited funds faced by Raja Ampat management to manage the website, the limited resources in operating the website, and the limited staff involved in promoting Raja Ampat to international exhibitions. This research can be used as study material for policy makers to help promote tourism through digital diplomacy and can be used as a model for future research.

Did the 1904 Entente Cordiale Originate in Bordeaux Thanks to Sports in 1895? Reflections on Sport Diplomacy

Succeeding François Guizot and Lord Hamilton Gordon’s ‘cordial understanding’, the Franco-British 1904 Entente cordiale has been widely studied in its diplomatic, trading and touristic aspects through sport. Maybe because of its vital role in the First World War, its social facet has been less explored. Lord-Mayor of London’s visit to Bordeaux’s last international exhibition in September 1895, enhanced by two days of cycling festivities and races, shows masonic links within the French organisers and with certain British contributors. As such, this could have been considered not as the first sport diplomatic act but as an attempt which have been occurred in this way and led to the creation of a British association called ‘Entente cordiale’ which had no equivalent in France. Despite some actions both side of the Channel, ahead of the official agreement, and the creation of a new organisation in Normandy in connection with the Touring Club de France, the expression rapidly faded out. Finally, this study shows what conditions must be met for a sporting event to be described as diplomatic. The distinction between sport diplomacy and diplomacy through sport is not enough in the light of history to explore international political relations.

Fish as a Resource and a Curiosity in International Exhibitions at the End of the Nineteenth Century

Abstract Fish and other water edible animals are the most numerous wild creatures that still are perceived as natural resource. Their individuality in perception by humans is mostly not recognised. In this paper I would like to discuss how fish were displayed and perceived at the World Fairs and specialised Fisheries Exhibitions that were quite numerous between 1880 and the beginning of the First World War. Among them the Great International Fisheries Exhibition in London in 1883 was the most significant and abundant and provided much material that remains not well studied by historians. Many fishing nations provided booklets and other materials for the exhibitions; the reception of the displays was discussed in scientific and popular publications and public media that included also visual materials. Why did fish become the object of such interest to the general public? What kind of stories were different nations and regions trying to tell through these displays and publications? How did fish link and divide people, especially the experts? Fisheries, as a sector of the economy, united archaic technologies and culture with the call for progress and modernisation. In addition, interest was concentrated around animals from whom humans felt removed at a large distance but who mystified them by their diversity in shape, colours, movement and, finally, taste.

The Eczacıbaşı Clan — Chief Pharmacists of Turkey

From a single pharmacy in Izmir opened by the founder of the dynasty Süleyman Ferit to an industrial corporation whose fields of activity include construction materials, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, investment and real estate, the story of the entrepreneurial success of the Eczacıbaşı family unfolded against the backdrop of the turbulent political and social life of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey of the 20th century. The presented article examines the life path of the founders of the dynasty, father Süleyman Ferit Eczacıbaşı and son Nejat Ferit Eczacıbaşı, and the history of the success of their enterprises in its relation to historical events. The Eczacıbaşı family comes from Izmir, thus both the head of the clan, Süleyman Ferit, and his heirs witnessed the historical events of the early 20th century, which shook not only Turkey, but also the entire Middle East region. Not actively participating in the political life of the country, The Eczacıbaşı family had close ties, first with the Young Turk government, then with the heroes of the national liberation struggle Celal Bayar, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and others. The materials used in the preparation of the article are also valuable sources on the history of the young Turkish Republic. Here you can learn valuable information about the Greek occupation of Izmir, about the development of the healthcare system in Izmir in the Ottoman and early Republican period, about the first significant events in the life of Izmir in the 1920s, for example, about the Izmir Economic Congress and the International Exhibition in Izmir. The history of the Eczacıbaşı clan is a vivid example of the origin and development of entrepreneurship among the Turkish population of Turkey and could be helpful to researchers interested in the history of Turkey’s economic development.

On the question of the imperial rivalry (based on materials of British exhibitions at the last third of the XIX – early XX centuries)

In the practice of British imperial propaganda, international and colonial exhibitions occupied a prominent place, which made it possible to demonstrate the prosperity and unity of the vast possessions of the metropolis. The 1886 Exhibition was the first event of its kind and left behind a huge amount of sources which made it possible not only to present exhibition sites, but to draw conclusions about the theory and practice of British imperial building. The last third of the 19th century is characterized by the intensification of colonial rivalry between the great powers, which was expressed not only in trade, economic and military, but also in ideological confrontation. In this regard, it is interesting to analyze what assessment was given in the context of the exhibitions to «other colonialists» and by what parameters British imperial practices were compared with the policies of the competing powers. The article concludes that colonial exhibitions were indeed based on opposition, but it was not an opposition between Britain and other modern empires, but an opposition between the past and present of the British possessions themselves. In the past there was savagery and barbarism by the «uncivilized» natives or oppression by «bad» colonizers such as the French and Dutch. In the present, everything testified to progress, prosperity and peace within the British family.International exhibitions have always been an effective way to establish cooperation and have not been a method of demonstrating conflicts. The experience of the 1908 exhibition clearly demonstrated the peaceful potential of such projects.

Indija kao motiv u stvaralaštvu Petra Lubarde

During the seventh decade of the 20th century, Petar Lubarda continued to be an important figure in the cultural diplomacy of Yugoslavia. His artistic position and presence on the local and international exhibition scene would root him in a position of a key figure in the First Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961. His artistic presence would be of major importance for the invitation of the Commission for Cultural Relations of the Republic of India, who then organised exhibitions in New Delhi and Bombay (Mumbai). The aim of the paper is to analyse the artistic production during the first years of the seventh decade of the last century and his personal experiences during his stay in India, in order to point out the changes and his reasons behind those changes on the example of his works on the topic of India.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDONESIAN DEFENSE INDUSTRY BY USING SYSTEMS THINKING APPROACH

<div><p class="Els-history-head">The independence of the national defense industry is crucial in supporting the national defense system to ensure the survival and existence of the nation and state through its impact on defense capability, and national economic, and technological development. But until now there are still phenomena that show the weaknesses of the national defense industry, both in concept and practice. This study aims to explain and analyze the weaknesses of the national defense industry and propose recommendations for solutions to overcome these problems. This study uses a qualitative approach, a methodology that involves interpretation to understand and explain certain phenomena. The analytical tool used is systems thinking, which can see this phenomenon in a bigger, dynamic, and interrelated picture through a system model. The results of this study indicate that the problem we are facing includes a small defense industry’s budget, lacking resources and technology, the need for raw materials, and pseudo-practices by the domestic defense industry. The proposed solution system model demonstrates how to develop the national defense industry by implementing the mandate of (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 16 of 2012 Concerning the Defense Industry), introducing defense product innovation through national and international defense industry exhibitions to increase investment opportunities, and implementing (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2020 Concerning Job Creation) to involve private industry in the development of a strategic defense industry. Finally, the independence of the national defense industry will realize operational readiness into real operational capabilities, so that the independence of national defense will be achieved and the integrity of the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia will be maintained. This condition will immediately build the spirit of nationalism of Indonesian citizens. </p></div>
