I chose this because I am interested in how media depictions of the Crusades deepen misunderstandings of the area during this time through a projection of modern day conflicts.]]> 2023-09-10 18:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692342806 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692602880 I chose this image to demonstrate the multiple modern day states that the Euphrates crosses through. I did not know how to pinpoint a river, but I am interested in the blur between imaginary/projected and real demarcations that result in border contention. ]]> 2023-09-11 01:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692602880 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692611422 For Sicily, I used an image of Mount Etna , which emerged from shifts between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. I am interested into pre-modern responses to climate disaster and emergency—how did they shape political decisions?]]> 2023-09-11 01:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692611422 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692621494 From what I know of Antioch is that it served as the capital for multiple empires. I chose this image of temple ruins there from the Roman period to capture a moment in between the changing hands of empire. ]]> 2023-09-11 01:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692621494 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692637775 Granada (and Medieval Spain more widely) interests me as the site of the Reconquista. I chose this image because I rarely see depictions of women at the table/engaged in decision making about states. Here, Queen Isabella is involved in the establishment of the Spanish Crown back in Granada. ]]> 2023-09-11 01:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692637775 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692657130 I chose this image of the painting by August Migette to represent Cologne. This painting was of the massacre of the Rhineland Jewish people. Cologne was one of the places where Jewish people were targeted during these series of attacks. ]]> 2023-09-11 01:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692657130 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692664633 As a coastal principality, I wanted this image to represent sea voyages that could have been taken from Dalmatia, which is why I chose a photo of this medieval (replica) ship. Water ports have been sites of extreme contention and I am interested in learning more about this. ]]> 2023-09-11 01:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692664633 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692671326 I chose this image of The Great Mosque of Al Qayrawan to represent the city because I do not know much about Tunisia except that this monument is a UNESCO heritage site. It seems to have endured many centuries of regional change.]]> 2023-09-11 01:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692671326 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692755415 I chose this image because it is how I understand Cyrus in its modern sense: as a politically/religiously divided country. I do not know how this division represented on this map has been historically produced/how it might mirror medieval tensions. ]]> 2023-09-11 02:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692755415 dvsa2020 https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692775724 I had heard about Bosphorus in reference to Greek mythology where the priestess Io crosses the strait, which provides origin for its name. I do not have much familiarity beyond this (and the Ottoman/British relations there), which is why I chose a drawing of Io to represent Bosphorus. ]]> 2023-09-11 03:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dvsa2020/ozpbe4k67u8jpcpp/wish/2692775724
