This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disputation literature is a type of text in which usually two non-human entities (such as trees, animals, drinks, or seasons) try to establish their superiority over each other by means of a series of speeches written in an elaborate, flowery register. As opposed to other dialogue literature, in disputation texts there is no serious matter at stake only the preeminence of one of the litigants over its rival. These light-hearted texts are known in virtually every culture that flourished in the Middle East from Antiquity to the present day, and they constitute one of the most enduring genres in world literature. The present volume collects over twenty contributions on disputation literature by a diverse group of world-renowned scholars. From ancient Sumer to modern-day Bahrain, from Egyptian to Neo-Aramaic, including Latin, French, Middle English, Armenian, Chinese and Japanese, the chapters of this book study the multiple avatars of this venerable text type.
Book Synopsis Dispute Poems and Dialogues in the Ancient and Mediaeval Near East by : G. J. Reinink
Download or read book Dispute Poems and Dialogues in the Ancient and Mediaeval Near East written by G. J. Reinink and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1991 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1989 the University of Groningen celebrated its 375th anniversary. Near Eastern Studies, in one form or another, have been part of the Groningen curriculum almost from the beginning. For this reason the Department of Middle-Eastern Languages and Cultures decided to contribute to the anniversary celebrations by organizing an international Symposium and a Workshop on The Literary Debate in Semitic and Related Literatures. The topic of the Symposium and the Workshop was chosen and prepared by the members of the research programme Disclosure of Semitic Texts. Since 1985 the literary debate in the Sumerian, Akkadian, Hebrew, Aramaic/Syriac and Arabic language and literature has been a central theme within this Groningen research programme. Because the research group sees as one of its tasks to place the study of the literary and cultural heritage of the Ancient and Mediaeval Near East also in the wider context of its connection with Classical Antiquity and the European Middle Ages, specialists in Byzantine and Mediaeval Studies were also invited to contribute to the Symposium and Workshop. The present volume contains the contributions presented during the Symposium and Workshop on The Literary Debate in the Semitic and Related Literatures. Some of the more important issues regarding matters of genesis, development and possible interdependence of the dispute poems, dialogues and related texts, which can all be subsumed under the general type of 'debate', are discussed in the introduction, which also reflects a number of points raised in the discussions during the Workshop itself.

Book Synopsis Dialogue and Disputation in Medieval Thought and Society by : Alex James Novikoff
Download or read book Dialogue and Disputation in Medieval Thought and Society written by Alex James Novikoff and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dialogue genre experienced widespread popularity in the ancient Greco-Roman world and into the Early Middle Ages, when it was used effectively as a vehicle for expressing an Augustinian meditative spirituality. While several studies have been undertaken concerning the ancient art of dialogue and the Renaissance interest in Greek and Roman dialogues, there has been no adequate attempt to examine or explain the dialogue's popularity during the High Middle Ages, when important cultural and institutional changes in the intellectual landscape of Western Europe allowed the dialogue genre to become a powerful weapon for dispute and polemic. In examining a diversity of sources relative to these intellectual and institutional changes, including dialogues and accounts of disputations, this dissertation argues that the renewed popularity of dialectic during the eleventh and twelfth centuries and the formalization of academic disputations during the thirteenth century are related expressions of a broader phenomenon that can best be described as a "culture of disputation." Five developments traceable to the period between 1050 and 1350 in Western Europe collectively embody this culture of disputation: the pedagogical influence of Anselm of Bec, the popularity of dialectic and disputation in the twelfth-century circles of learning, the recovery of Aristotle's New Logic, the institutionalization of disputation as a method of instruction in the Paris university and in Dominican schools, and the application of literary dialogue and public disputation in the Church's engagement with Jews and Judaism. These important developments, as well as other manifestations of the scholastic involvement with dialogue and disputation, such as medieval drama, debate poetry, and polyphonic music, are evidence of a profound transformation in the medieval approach towards learning and faith that warrant being viewed as example of cultural history.
Book Synopsis Public Disputation, Power, and Social Order in Late Antiquity by : Richard Lim
Download or read book Public Disputation, Power, and Social Order in Late Antiquity written by Richard Lim and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Lim explores the importance of verbal disputation in Late Antiquity, offering a rich socio-historical and cultural examination of the philosophical and theological controversies. He shows how public disputation changed with the advent of Christianity from a means of discovering truth and self-identification to a form of social competition and "winning over" an opponent. He demonstrates how the reception and practice of public debate, like other forms of competition in Late Antiquity, were closely tied to underlying notions of authority, community and social order. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1995.

Book Synopsis The Sumerians by : Samuel Noah Kramer
Download or read book The Sumerians written by Samuel Noah Kramer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-09-17 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sumerians, the pragmatic and gifted people who preceded the Semites in the land first known as Sumer and later as Babylonia, created what was probably the first high civilization in the history of man, spanning the fifth to the second millenniums B.C. This book is an unparalleled compendium of what is known about them. Professor Kramer communicates his enthusiasm for his subject as he outlines the history of the Sumerian civilization and describes their cities, religion, literature, education, scientific achievements, social structure, and psychology. Finally, he considers the legacy of Sumer to the ancient and modern world. "There are few scholars in the world qualified to write such a book, and certainly Kramer is one of them. . . . One of the most valuable features of this book is the quantity of texts and fragments which are published for the first time in a form available to the general reader. For the layman the book provides a readable and up-to-date introduction to a most fascinating culture. For the specialist it presents a synthesis with which he may not agree but from which he will nonetheless derive stimulation."—American Journal of Archaeology "An uncontested authority on the civilization of Sumer, Professor Kramer writes with grace and urbanity."—Library Journal

Book Synopsis The Pseudo-historical Image of the Prophet Muhammad in Medieval Latin Literature: A Repertory by : Michelina Di Cesare
Download or read book The Pseudo-historical Image of the Prophet Muhammad in Medieval Latin Literature: A Repertory written by Michelina Di Cesare and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring and understanding how medieval Christians perceived and constructed the figure of the Prophet Muhammad is of capital relevance in the complex history of Christian-Muslim relations. Medieval authors writing in Latin from the 8th to the 14th centuries elaborated three main images of the Prophet: the pseudo-historical, the legendary, and the eschatological one. This volume focuses on the first image and consists of texts that aim to reveal the (Christian) truth about Islam. They have been taken from critical editions, where available, otherwise they have been critically transcribed from manuscripts and early printed books. They are organized chronologically in 55 entries: each of them provides information on the author and the work, date and place of composition, an introduction to the passage(s) reported, and an updated bibliography listing editions, translations and studies. The volume is also supplied with an introductory essay and an index of notable terms.
