Description

Impressionen aus dem Buch (von links nach rechts): Moderne Falknerei. Wanderfalke jagt Triel, eine klassische Falknereibeute auf der Arabischen Halbinsel (Foto M. Williams); Eine klassische, wenn nicht die bekannteste historische Falknereidarstellung überhaupt (19. Jahrhundert, H. Schlegel/A.H.V. van Wulverhorst, Traité de Fauconnerie); Darstellung des dänischen Königs Knud IV (spätes 11. Jahrhundert) als Reiter-Falkner (Umzeichnung).

Das Zentrum für Baltische und Skandinavische Archäologie (ZBSA) in Schleswig legt zusammen mit der New York University Abu Dhabi in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten seinen zweiten Falknerei-Band vor. Das Buch in englischer Sprache richtet sich an Falkner und Falknerinnen, Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen weltweit. Die zwei Teilbände in einem Schuber umfassen zusammen rund 1000 Seiten. Mit beinahe 1000 Abbildungen handelt es sich um den ultimativen Bildband zur Falknereigeschichte und zu verwandten Motiven. Das hat es in dieser Form noch nicht gegeben. Eine kurze Zusammenfassung in deutscher Sprache wird zeitgleich mit Erscheinen des Buchs auf der Webseite des Deutschen Falkenordens veröffentlicht.

Anne-Lise Tropato

Anne-Lise Tropato has a PhD in art history. She works at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD, United Arab Emirates) as a Humanities research and teaching fellow for the Arab world. Her main research interests focus on the artistic and cultural history of falconry; it investigates what our human relationship with birds of prey across time and culture reveals about the understanding and the definition of ourselves, our civilizations and our aspirations across a range of ethnic, religious, historical, and geographical differences. She created an academic interdisciplinary course for the cross-cultural exploration and analysis of falconry, which she teaches at NYUAD. She has also published on topics such as intellectual and cultural international relationships in Early Modern times, trans-frontier transmission of artistic models, the analysis of serial imagery, the history of visual imagery, and the history of great collections and collectors.
