The archaeology of late monastic hospitality

Rowell, Rochelle L. January 2000 (has links)
This thesis examines the role of a distinctive group of monastic buildings, those constructed for the use of visitors, placing them in the distinctive cultural settings of the monastery and the surrounding secular landscape. It reconsiders the applicability of the inside/outside, secular/monastic dichotomy, which tends to imply restriction of access to the house, and examines human behaviour in and around visitors' structures, in the form of ritualized hospitality. It is thus concerned with the recursive relationships between monastic and secular cultures, and between individuals negotiating power through their manipulation and structuring of space. This thesis employs an explicitly archaeological research agenda and recording methodology which explores the evidence at both extensive and intensive levels. An extensive survey of surviving gatehouse remains was undertaken to examine the apparent `liminal' role of these structures. At the intensive level, detailed building recording was undertaken on two complexes, at Stoneleigh Abbey and Gloucester Cathedral, whose primary function was to provide hospitality to outsiders. These are used as primary case studies, and are supplemented by textual, pictorial, and landscape evidence in order to investigate what monastic hospitality was, in what manner it was expressed, and how it was experienced.

Η Μονή Στροφάδων : αποτύπωση – παθολογία –προδιαγραφές αποκατάστασης

Θεοδωροπούλου, Αικατερίνη 27 August 2007 (has links)
Η εκπόνηση της Διατριβής Διπλώματος Ειδίκευσης με τίτλο «Η Μονή Στροφάδων : Αποτύπωση – Παθολογία – Προδιαγραφές Αποκατάστασης» είχε ως στόχο τη συνοπτική προσέγγιση και παρουσίαση του προβλήματος του μοναστηριακού συγκροτήματος Στροφάδων. Η εργασία αυτή δεν αποσκοπεί στο να δώσει πρακτική λύση στο πρόβλημα αποκατάστασης του μοναστηριού καθώς κάτι τέτοιο δε θα ήταν εύκολο να πραγματοποιηθεί στο πλαίσια μιας μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας γίνεται μια συνοπτική αναδρομή της ιστορίας της μονής με αναφορά στα σημαντικότερα γεγονότα από την ίδρυσή της έως σήμερα. Επίσης, γίνεται αναφορά στην πνευματική, πολιτισμική και αμυντική αξία της μονής. Το δεύτερο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας αποτελεί την αρχιτεκτονική τεκμηρίωση. Καταρχήν αναφέρεται σε συντομία η υστεροβυζαντινή αρχιτεκτονική των μοναστηριών, οι τύποι ναών και τα υλικά δόμησης. Στη συνέχεια γίνεται η περιγραφή του μοναστηριακού συγκροτήματος, του πύργου και των κτισμάτων όλων των πτερύγων. Η περιγραφή αυτή γίνεται καλύτερα κατανοητή μέσα από τα σχέδια κατόψεων και τομών που παρουσιάζονται στο τέλος του κεφαλαίου. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο περιγράφονται οι φάσεις κατασκευής του μνημείου : υστεροβυζαντινή, η φάση Ενετοκρατίας και η νεότερη, με τα κτίσματα που περιλαμβάνει η καθεμιά, καθώς και τα χρησιμοποιούμενα υλικά και τρόποι δόμησης. Στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο δίνεται μια εικόνα της παθολογίας του μοναστηριακού συγκροτήματος με αναφορά στις φθορές εξωτερικών τοίχων και εσωτερικού. Ακόμα, καταγράφεται η παθολογία των υλικών κατασκευής λίθων, πλίνθων, κονιαμάτων, καθώς και τα αίτια φθοράς των κτισμάτων της μονής. Στο πέμπτο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας παρουσιάζονται οι βασικές προδιαγραφές για την αποκατάσταση της μονής : Προδιαγραφές αρχιτεκτονικής και δομοστατικής μελέτης, προδιαγραφές μελέτης παθολογίας υλικών, αξιολόγηση της υφιστάμενης κατάστασης, προτάσεις συντήρησης, προσδιορισμός χρήσεων για το μνημείο και προτάσεις προσαρμογής των χρήσεων στο μνημείο. Τέλος αναφέρονται τα συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν κατά την εκπόνηση της Διατριβής Διπλώματος Ειδίκευσης. Το κύριο συμπέρασμα η είναι η άμεση αποκατάσταση των κτισμάτων της μονής Στροφάδων. Η αποκατάσταση αυτή θα πρέπει να αποτελεί έργο υπεύθυνης και συντονισμένης προσπάθειας μιας ομάδας αναστηλωτών που θα σέβονται την ιστορική και αρχιτεκτονική αξία του μνημείου. Επίσης, οι επεμβάσεις θα πρέπει να σχεδιαστούν έτσι, ώστε να διατηρείται η αρχιτεκτονική και κατασκευαστική ταυτότητα του μνημείου. / The elaboration of the thesis entitled “ Monastery of Strofades : Survey – Pathology – Outline of Restoration “ aims at the brief approach and presentation of the problem of the monastery of Strofades. This thesis does not aim at giving a practical solution to the problem of restoration of the monastery since the latter is difficult to be achieved in terms of postgraduate studies. In the first chapter, a brief retrospection of the history of the monastery takes place with reference to the most significant events from its establishment till today. Moreover, this thesis refers to cultural and defensive value of the monastery. The second chapter constitutes the architectural presumption. Firstly, it is made a brief reference to the metabyzantine architecture of monasteries, the types of temples and the constructing materials. Then, a description of the monastery, the tower and the other parts of the construction takes place. This description can be better understood through the designs of the ground plans presented at the end of the chapter. In the third chapter, are different phases of the construction of the monument, the metabyzantine phase, the Venetian phase and the modern one together with the constructions placed at each phase as well as the materials used and the ways of construction. In the fourth chapter of this thesis, it is given a picture of the pathology of the monastery with reference to the damages of both the exterior walls and the interior. Moreover, the pathology of the constructing materials, stones, bricks and mortars, and the causes of damages of the construction of the monastery as well as listed. In the fifth chapter, are presented the basic prescriptions for the restoration of the monastery. Prescriptions of the architectural study, of the pathology of the materials, evaluation of the existing situation, proposals of maintenance, determination of usages for the monument as well as proposals of adaptation of those usages to the latter. To sum up, the conclusions drawn from this thesis are mentioned in the end. The main conclusion is that it is needed the immediate restoration of the construction of the monastery of Strofades. This restoration should constitute a work of responsible and coordinated effort of a group of restorers who will respect the historical and architectural value of the monument. Last but not least, the interventions must be designed in such way so as to preserve the architectural and structural identity of the monument.

Tibetan mind training : tradition and genre

Troughton, Thomas, 1964- January 2008 (has links)
In response to Tibetan social pressures in the 11th century, Atisa initiated a renewal of Buddhist monasticism that resulted in all Buddhist praxis outside of meditation being strictly framed by attitudes and behaviors informed by love and compassion. Atisa's teachings are exemplified in pithy sayings that point to the heart of bodhisattva practice, and this mind training practice developed into a tradition in the period immediately following his passing. The success of the method, and of the emulation of Atisa as exemplar of a perfect bodhisattva, led to the adoption of mind training throughout Tibetan Buddhism. "Tibetan Mind Training: Tradition and Genre" explains the relation between a native Tibetan literary genre and monastic Buddhist practice found in the 14th century compilation Mind Training: The Great Collection (theg pa chen po blo sbyong rgya tsa). The introduction provides context and presents methodology. Chapter one argues that 'blo sbyong' should be translated as 'mind training.' Chapter two has two broad arguments: a rebuttal of a conception of mind training as an essentially psychological preparation for other practices; and an explanation of its praxis as the interaction of mind and real objects. Chapter three explains the relation of mind training praxis and tradition, with reference to Atisa's reforms. Chapter four explains some characteristics of the literary genre of mind training.
