From Mountain to Mountain: Exchange between Yemen and Ethiopia, Medieval to Modern
Chroniques du manuscrit au Yémen, Special Issue 1 (2017)
Edited by Anne Regourd (University of Copenhagen) & Nancy Um (Binghamton University)
Recently, scholars have been committed to studying exchanges, particularly commercial ones, across and around the rims of the Red Sea. While these connections have involved Yemen and the Horn of Africa centrally, they have rarely penetrated beyond the scope of the coasts. In this special volume, scholars consider the long history of interfaces between Yemen and Ethiopia, thus moving into the landed interior. These papers explore linguistic, diplomatic, commercial, and technological exchanges and provide evidence, albeit sometimes scanty, for movements and associations that extend from mountain to mountain, rather than simply from coast to coast. The authors rely upon an array of diverse sources, including historical chronicles and glossaries, firsthand interviews, newspapers, letters from private archives, and material culture. This special issue will be published in three installments.

Nancy Um presents “Workshop for Graduate Students: Digital Mapping and the History of Art”
On Friday, February 16, Nancy Um and Carrie Anderson (Middlebury College) will offer the workshop “Digital Mapping and the History of Art” at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.
Workshop Description: Art historians have much to gain from the opportunities provided by digital mapping. Cartographic interfaces can help visualize the migration of artists, visual practices, and objects across and around extended geographic and temporal networks. Yet, mapping itself is a critical process, which entails a number of methodological challenges. This workshop will provide guidelines on how to get started with digital mapping, as a key research tool. We will discuss ways to discover and structure geospatial data and will introduce two different mapping platforms, Google Fusion Tables and Tableau, that can be used to craft both static and interactive maps.
