A review of Vassallo, Jesús. Epics in the Everyday: Photography, Architecture, and the Problem of Realism. Zürich: Park Books, 2019. 328 pages. ISBN 978-3-03860-162-3. Jesús Vassallo's Epics in the Everyday explores the question of realism in architecture as it has been mediated by photography's documentary tradition. Synthesizing an immense body of theory and practice, Vassallo argues that architects should address a world that is saturated with images and objects by embracing the banal ordinariness of these remnants.

While throughout modern history it has been shown how thoroughly biological discourses were shaped by conceptions originating in the theory and praxis of breeding, for the medieval period similar studies are mostly absent. This paper offers a symmetrical history of theory and praxis of breeding by asking to what extent they shaped medieval conceptions of human ‘race’ and ‘ancestry’ in Europe. For scholarly knowledge of breeding, the analysis relies on Albertus Magnus’ extensive Aristotelian work De animalibus. For the practical knowledge of the breeders, scattered indications from the secondary literature are compiled and promising primary sources are outlined for further research. The paper finds that various concepts and practices whose origins are commonly placed in the early modern period were already present in the Middle Ages, including the concept of reproductive heredity and the view that creation diversified over time through reproductive ancestry. Breeding practices, thus, existed before the rise of genetics in modern biology. The medieval conceptions of ‘race’ and ‘ancestry’ underwent conceptual transfers from the non-human into the human sphere, collapsing the qualitative distinction of the two spheres into one quantitively graded overarching image of nature.

Stefano Vicari, Francesco Perono Cacciafoco
At the entrance of some churches in Tuscany (Italy), the reproduction of an apparently undecipherable inscription can be found. Beginning in the 18th century, this epigraphic puzzle has originated a debate on its interpretation. This study proposes a hypothesis based on the Latin alphabet used in texts contemporary to the churches where the inscription is reproduced and a possible interpretation of the message consistent with the official religious doctrine. The proposed deciphering is extended to the full text, including some signs that were previously considered geometric forms or a specific elaboration of letters not attested in other contemporary documents.

Deserts confuse, fogging memory and electrifying the imagination. In 1853, on Utah’s Sevier River, a ritualized killing spawned a folklore of deserts that lives on to this day. Captain John W. Gunnison, an engineer, had detoured into an ambush. Dismembered, decapitated, his heart torn from his chest, he had died, it was said, by order of the Mormon prophet and Utah’s Latter-day Saints. Fabulized over the decades, the tale was contorted with an evil king in a desert kingdom, with ghoulish assassins and restless corpses undead. Folklore saw what historians have been slow to perceive about hauntings in desolation. Memories of trauma run deep in disquieting strangeness. Places presumed to be empty set dark expectations for horror.
沙漠令人困惑，模糊记忆，激发想象力。1853年，在犹他州的塞维尔河(Sevier River)上，一场仪式化的杀戮催生了一种关于沙漠的民间传说，这种传说一直流传至今。工程师约翰·w·甘尼森(John W. Gunnison)上尉绕道进入了埋伏区。据说，他被肢解，被斩首，心脏被扯出胸膛，死于摩门教先知和犹他州后期圣徒的命令。几十年来，这个故事被歪曲成一个沙漠王国的邪恶国王，有可怕的刺客和不安的尸体不死。民间传说见证了历史学家对荒凉中幽灵的缓慢认识。创伤的记忆在令人不安的陌生感中深深扎根。被认为是空无一人的地方让人对恐怖产生了黑暗的预期。
