Visuality in the 21st century — especially as promoted by digital content providers and planners of the smart city — relies on unhindered, smooth, and seamless communication. Yet both urban life and new media depend also onYomi Braesterhaphazard, intrusive, blemishing signals. The talk examines recent multimedia art from the People’s Republic of China, which mounts a cultural criticism of mediated space, challenging notions of the digital city based on virtual reality and augmented reality. Urban spaces are imagined instead as photomontage, and traversing the city is seen as reliant on the digital noise produced by the city.About the Speaker Yomi Braester is the Byron W. and Alice L. Lockwood Professor in the Humanities at the University of Washington. His research focuses on literary and visual practices, with emphasis on modern China and Taiwan — in architecture, advertisement, screen media, and stage arts. Originally published at asia.nd.edu.

The Mathews Lectures bring a distinguished scholar of Byzantine studies to campus each year to deliver a talk, supported by the Rev. Constantine Mathews Endowment for Excellence in Byzantine Christianity in the Medieval Institute. Vasilios Mathews and Nikiforos Mathews established the endowment to honor their father, the Reverend Constantine Mathews, who earned a Masters Degree in Liturgical Studies at Notre Dame in 1977. During a half-century of dedicated ministry, Father Mathews served as presiding parish priest at St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church in South Bend, followed by the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in Stamford, Connecticut.  "A historian at work on monastic documents: Gabriel Millet, Rossikon, Mount Athos, ca 1920" © Photothèque Gabriel Millet EPHE-PSLAbout the TalkByzantine documents preserved in the archives of the monasteries of Mount Athos in Greece are by far the most extensive and valuable body of documentation from the Byzantine Empire. They represent about half of the entire collection of archival documents that have survived, span more than five centuries (10th–15th c.), and cover large areas of Macedonia and Thrace as well as some North-Aegean islands. Moreover, these documents are often our only source of information about rural and urban society, agrarian economy, demography, provincial administration, among other subjects. Their prevalence should be a matter of concern since monasteries–although common in Byzantium–are very specific by nature. This presentation will assess the current research on the documentation of Mount Athos and ask the following question: is monastic history– economic, social, administrative–representative of the Empire? How can we guess what is missing, based on these monastic archives?About the SpeakerOlivier Delouis is a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and a former member of the French School of Archaeology of Athens, Greece. In Oxford, he is currently a Research Fellow at the Maison française d’Oxford (CNRS) and a Visiting Fellow in Byzantine Studies at Campion Hall. From 2013 to 2021, he directed  the Revue des études byzantines (Peeters Publishers). His current research includes the edition of the Great Catecheseis of Theodore the Stoudite, the edition of two volumes of Mount Athos archives collection (monastery of Chilandar), and the publication of the scientific correspondence of Athanasios Papadopoulos-Kerameus (1856–1912). Among his  recent publications are three collective volumes on Monastic Mobility (Rome, 2019), Monastic Daily Life, 4th–10th c. (Cairo-Athens, 2019), and Athos Monastic Archives and their Reception (Paris, 2019), as well as various articles on Theodore the Stoudite.Originally published at medieval.nd.edu.
