ItemBetween the virtual and the actual: Robert Barker's panorama of London and the multiplication of the real in late eighteenth-century LondonOtto, P (Consortium Erudit, 2007-05-01)The panorama is usually identified as the culmination, for the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century, of Enlightenment attempts to produce a “second-order reality in which to play with or practice upon the first order”. It is therefore aligned with the modern attempt to contain everything within a single view or picture. In contrast, this paper argues that in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century the panorama and the hyper-realistic illusions it conjured, paradoxically relied on and at the same time intensified the late eighteenth-century sense that first and second order realities (the “physical environment in which one is really present” and the environments presented by material or textual media) had diverged to a degree that was unprecedented. This at first somewhat counter-intuitive phenomenon occurs not despite but because of the panorama’s ability to simulate the real. The hyper-realistic virtual realities of the early panorama intensified late eighteenth-century interest in the observation of observation; presented perception as an event that did not require the presence of its apparent object, thus radicalising the achievements of Trompe l’Oeil painting; drew attention to the figural space of representation; and provided new evidence for the constructed and contingent nature of the real. The paper takes as its key foci Caspar David Friedrich’s “The Wanderer above a sea of Mists” (1818), the Leicester Square Panorama (opened 1793), and Barker’s panorama of London (1791 and 1795).

Item'Medieval Literature' or 'Early Europe'? How to win grants and change the course of scholarshipTRIGG, S (Wiley, 2006)Abstract This paper explores the unexpected success of the Network for Early European Research, based at the University of Western Australia, which was recently awarded A$1.6 million over a five‐year period to support research and postgraduate training in medieval and early modern studies in Australia. What lessons can be drawn from the success of this grant application for other projects in medieval studies that must compete for funding in national contests across all the disciplines? One of the distinctive strengths of the Network is its willingness to think in unusually broad terms about the influential reach of medieval and early modern social and cultural forms into settler colonies like eighteenth‐century Australia and beyond. But to what extent might government priorities be driving the nature of research? How can medieval studies best respond to these external pressures?
