Finishing off #imc2022 with an excursion to see Hintereisferner and the permanent laser scanner, but the weather (and snow) decided otherwise! Still a success with good discussions and delicious food at the Bella Vista hut! Thanks @prinzofice and @uibk_climate for organizing

Back home after a very fruitful week at #IMC2022 in Innsbruck. Great to make new connections and hear about so many exciting developments in mountain research and at the policy interface ⛰️ Thanks to the organisers! @imountainconf #IMC22

And today, it's the synthesis. Already time to wrap-up. Overall, a wonderful conference in a wonderful location, filled with new ideas, connections and re-connections. And as usual, there was more to see and do than time allowed! Huge thanks the organisers @imountainconf #imc2022

The next day was filled to the brim with mountain water talks! Finally met @BenPelto in-person, and got to see science updates from many science friends, old and new. Here showing @LaurenDSomers @Marit_vanTiel @af_lutz @MichelBaraer. What a treat :) #imc2022

On Tuesday, amongst other great events, we hosted a session. It was very biology-focused (and I'm a hydrologist), so even though I was technically organizing it, I was probably the one in the room who learned the most! #imc2022

After mandatory visits to the climbing gym and the fabulous spinatknödel, it was time for the icebreaker. So many friendly faces! So many amazing people to meet! But it was my first in-person conference in a while, so the crowd was a bit overwhelming. #imc2022

This week was #imc2022 - filled with all flavours of mountains science, and... I was SO happy to be back in Innsbruck after visiting for a wonderful 3 month last year. Coming back felt cozy.

Last day's sessions over at #imc22, and the sun has come out on the mountains! ☀️ #imc2022

Having a great time representing @PLOSClimate at #IMC2022 in Innsbruck with @EmmaArchervG! Fascinating keynotes on climate change impacts this morning, followed by a session on #adaptation pathways, and now another on progress towards climate neutrality in mountains ⛰️⚡️

Excited to be in Innsbruck for #IMC2022! 🏔️ Bit of a wet start, so hiding from the rain enjoying some coffee and Palatschinken mit Nutella

Bye Leeds! Until next time. It was a pleasure and extremely interesting!

Bevor ich losfahre, noch ein bisschen durch die Uni gegangen und schließlich an der Boom Fair bei Magie gestrandet. Was auch sonst... [PF] #IMC2022

Eine kleine Kaffeepause mit Michael Brauer.
Dann ist das Panel des @izmfunisalzburg dran. Davor muss ich aber noch meinen Flug zumorganisieren. Irgendwie wurde der Anschluss Frankfurt-Salzburg gecancelt. [PF]

Also seen with food. The number of opulent courses (here: 10, which was compared to Florence).
However, not only quantity, but also variety was important.
Material culture -via quantity and variety - was used to separate from "the others".
[PF]
#s1103 #IMC2022

Interestingly, quantity and not only quality may also be seen as a way of "showing off" prestige.
An example: the number of folds in veils.

#s1103 #IMC2022

Gerhard Jaritz wraps the panel up: Separating from the Others: The 'Laws' of Urban Material Culture.

In modern times, belts turned to more practical uses. However, carrying bags on their belt was a privilege (hopefully, I understood that correctly).
In "folk costumes", belts are also prominent. However, these objects of powere were only for adults!
[PF]
#s1103 #IMC2022

Illyrian belt plates show authority by their intricacies. Extremely detailed and ornamented.
There are also golden belt buckets from the 9th century, which emphasize that hypothesis. Among many other later belts either made of silver or gold.

The practical advise in the text was never intended for use, but to utter exact commands.

Michael argues how food and household authority went hand-in-hand.
Yet, what is the aim of that manual?
Increasing the prosperity, gain friends, preserve your possessions.
They want to "keep the social status".
[PF]
#s1103 #IMC2022

Michael incorporates recent research by Greco and Rose.
Concerning obedience, it is rather contradictory in itself. Is the husband the "master" or the wife?
Food: 400 recipes, they turned noble recipes into bourgeois ones.
They were also told to team up.

#s1103 #IMC2022

The Ménagier is a rather interesting guidebook to two specific women. An older husband wrote to his fifteen year old wife. Paternalistic, yet not misogynistic.
"It's demarcating boundaries to lower and higher classes"

#s1103 #IMC2022

Stage@Leeds opens up soon. Entering the stage: Etleva Lala, Michael Brauer, Gerhard Jaritz and Éloise Adde. Let's listen to some well-known voices.

However, some games like 'classless' games do not fit the proposed typology and remain a desiderata.

The third step of classes, are a medievalist's social classes: oratores, bellatores, laboratores.
next to Heroes of Might & Magic, Olga also mentions an already discussed game here: Crusader Kings 3.
[PF]
#s733 #IMC2022

Classes in RPGs. Three groups:
- Physical damage
- magical damage
- healer/supporter (increase their prowess)
Tolkienesque archetypes mediated by D&D: Warrior, Trickster, Mage.
"The Trinity of classes" in other games: Tank, Healer, Damage Dealer.

#s733 #IMC2022

Now, @MediBoh takes over: Playing Oratores, Bellatores, and Laboratores: Functional Borders between Classes in Medieval Video Games.
She's asking the question: What societal tropes of the Middle Ages do role-playing games reproduce and why?

[PF]
#s733 #IMC2022

Opportunity, Conciliation, Compromise, Hostility.
Hostility: "It is all about creating chaos."
The others are more peaceful.
Players can even create Détente in Iberia.
Interaction with neighbours are a breakthrough in comparison to other games.
