5 - Inflexible Meritocracy #NaPoWriMo Day 5 and it is Sunday, so I’m taking advantage of the bibliomancy prompt I gave the @@allographicaa Write-In to make what turned out to be a somewhat fatalistic rant against the symptoms of autocracy, on a variety of scales, via a quote from a book about astronomy, that I happened to have nearby because I wanted to check about Rhiannon’s place in Welsh astrography for yesterday’s piece. I bounced via Perseus and Medusa to misogyny and marginalisation, and thereby pattern-matching and prophesy. So, you know, nothing too major… The title speaks to the etymology of the names of the Greek Fates, especially Atropos. Remember that, if you’re a subscriber to my Patreon, you can hear a recording of this piece (and the four preceding it) there. The link to the relevant post is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/inflexible-154851101 --- Where the arm of Perseus curves around to hold his shield, there are several interesting star clusters worth observing. Dark Land, Dark Skies (The Mabinogion in the Night Skies) Martin Griffiths, 2017 Where his arm curves, something glimmers, a shimmer in the half-light, a collection of burning elements that may protect him. Some say it had a woman’s face, once; something to possess, cursed for its rarity, high market value, hanging in the balance of men’s regard – something only the divine could stand against. And yet. How fearsome to be someone used and rejected, ejected from humanity, disappearing into myth and yet made to go on serving after being cleaved from the weft. We are a warped warning, for daring to have ungovernable hair we’re a sinful admonishment to freeze, petrified by whispers that those the gods favour can be cast lower than a snake’s belly, and jealousy is bitterest when it echoes from the mouths of power. This stanza should be a volta, a turn from the established narrative, a way to make this story happier, the powerless rise up, abusers affronted at being confronted, but I haven’t found the solution, hope only we’re not doomed to repetition, and that lessons learned from classics can be steps; foundations, not predictions. Fate’s a tricky thing, and eavesdroppers on the future never prosper by it, locked in an agony of wanting to stop the jackboot, halt the tide, and craving the grim frisson of being right. Tucked far enough into the margin, you get a better view of the larger pattern, and, hampered by the need to see it complete, we compete with curiosity to grasp the shears, delineate what’s next. And maybe this time… Maybe. Please. Image is of a Medusa cameo ring from the Altes Museum via Wikipedia

I thought white people liked dead white men, like Plato. Didn’t they complain about non-white guys being taught? What’s a philosopher-king but a dictator draped in academic clothing?

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with languorous figures set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean Sea and sky.

"The Angel Who Prayed for Everyone But Himself"

This angel isn’t just decoration. He’s praying. For Sofya Tutolmina (1772–1833), the senator’s wife who raised a foundling boy and left him her fortune. For her husband Ivan Vasilyevich (1760–1839). For their childless life, full of love. Tomb, 1839, sculptor I.P. Vitali. Lost in the 1920s, restored in 2019. Here he is again, in summer sun, shot on expired Kodak Plus-X 125. Moscow, 2022.

"The Weeping Cupids of the Baryshnikova Tomb"

This tomb in Moscow’s Donskoy Cemetery belongs to Elizaveta Ivanovna Baryshnikova (1772–1806) — a noblewoman, mother of 13 children (6 died in infancy), who passed away at 34, half a year after giving birth to her last child. Designed by architect N.A. Lvov: red quartzite, bronze relief with Chronos, and a marble group of two mourning cupids holding a funeral urn. The epitaph reads: “To my gentle wife and truest friend, a mother who gave her life for her children…” — a personal letter across centuries. Shot on expired Kodak Plus-X 125. Moscow, 2022.

A symmetrical architectural walkway composed of large corten steel frames forming a geometric rhythm that leads toward a neoclassical building with columns. The marble floor reflects light, and potted plants line the corridor.

A rhythmic passage of corten frames leading to a neoclassical portico — modern rigor meeting timeless symmetry. Rossi would approve.

Theorizing Historiographical Islamophobia Can Islamophobia be historiographical? This article sets out to answer this question by looking at how the way we tell the story of history engineers Islamophobia in the present.
