This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the early 2nd millennium BCE, Pre-Classical Anatolia has been a crossroads of languages and peoples. Indo-European peoples – Hittites, Luwians, Palaeans – and non-Indo-European ones – Hattians, but also Assyrians and Hurrians – coexisted with each other for extended periods of time during the Bronze Age, a cohabitation that left important traces in the languages they spoke and in the texts they wrote. By combining, in an interdisciplinary fashion, the complementary approaches of linguistics, history, and philology, this book offers a comprehensive, state-of-the-art study of linguistic and cultural contacts in a region that is often described as the bridge between the East and the West. With contributions by Paola Cotticelli-Kurras, Alfredo Rizza, Maurizio Viano, and Ilya Yakubovich.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Babele: il nome evoca subito un atto d'orgoglio punito con una condanna terribile, la totale distruzione. Se Babele è un mito biblico, appartiene invece alla storia che grandi città, enormi complessi monumentali dell'antico Oriente sono stati ridotti in polvere. Eppure rappresentano un tassello importante della storia dell'umanità. La città nasce in Oriente. Ma come la conosciamo se, apparentemente, non è rimasto più nulla? In questo libro Mario Liverani racconta come, nell'arco di due secoli, le città dell'antico Oriente – Babilonia e Ninive in testa – sono tornate a vivere per noi, dapprima solo immaginate, sulla scorta delle notizie bibliche e della letteratura classica; poi intraviste da viaggiatori alla ricerca della Torre di Babele in un paesaggio cosparso di macerie informi; infine scavate, descritte, misurate, classificate, interpretate a seconda delle tendenze culturali degli studiosi. Tutti comunque concordi nel vedere nella città orientale una sorta di anti-modello della città occidentale: questa basata su cittadinanza, democrazia, libera impresa, quella basata su despotismo teocratico, dirigismo, servitù generalizzata. Dopo due secoli di scavi, di studi e di mutevoli approcci è possibile finalmente costruire un quadro d'insieme non solo dell'attività di ricerca ma anche dei suoi risultati, che restituiscono le città dell'antico Oriente – grazie all'apporto delle più svariate discipline che vanno dalla filologia antica alla storia dell'urbanistica, alla computer-grafica – nel loro splendore architettonico e artistico e nella loro vita socio-economica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'imperialismo è la tendenza al dominio con sfruttamento e ogni civiltà che si vuole costituire in impero ha bisogno di dotarsi di una propria ideologia. Pensavamo fosse un fenomeno della modernità, portato della concentrazione economica e finanziaria, dei monopoli e delle multinazionali. Invece è una storia che comincia nell'antica Assiria. Un impero è una formazione politico-territoriale che si assegna lo scopo di allargare incessantemente la propria frontiera, di assoggettare (per conquista diretta o per controllo indiretto) il resto del mondo, fino a far coincidere la propria estensione con quella dell'ecumene tutto. La sua 'missione' è un progetto ideale che si fonda su una teoria politica (quando non teologica) e si articola in principi ideali. Questi variano nel tempo, oscillando soprattutto tra il fondamento religioso e quello civile. Mario Liverani, uno dei maggiori studiosi del Vicino Oriente antico, rivoluziona la storia dell'antica Assiria, mostrando come qui siano emersi per la prima volta alcuni dei tratti caratteristici comuni a tutti gli imperi comparsi nella storia del mondo. Da Roma a Bisanzio, dall'impero britannico all'egemonia USA: il dominio con ogni mezzo disponibile per ricavarne vantaggi, la colpevolizzazione del nemico, l'attribuzione di una valenza universale alla propria missione hanno sempre accompagnato la vita di ogni impero.

Book excerpt: La Mesopotamia è una regione storica del Vicino Oriente antico, parte della cosiddetta Mezzaluna Fertile. La regione fu abitata da tempi remotissimi e qui si sono sviluppate precocemente importanti civiltà: i Sumeri, gli Assiri e i Babilonesi sono le più famose, altre (p.es. gli Accadi) ebbero minore fama oppure - come nel caso per esempio della civiltà persiana e di quella ellenistica - investirono questa regione insieme irradiandosi da altri centri. Dopo la conquista araba nel VII-VIII secolo d.C., non si usa più il termine geografico di Mesopotamia, anche se in linea di principio questo sarebbe applicabile fino ai giorni nostri. I mini-ebook di Passerino Editore sono guide agili, essenziali e complete, per orientarsi nella storia del mondo. A cura di Antonio Ferraiuolo.

Download or read book Discourse on the State of the Jews written by Simone Luzzatto and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1638, a small book of no more than 92 pages in octavo was published “appresso Gioanne Calleoni” under the title “Discourse on the State of the Jews and in particular those dwelling in the illustrious city of Venice.” It was dedicated to the Doge of Venice and his counsellors, who are labelled “lovers of Truth.” The author of the book was a certain Simone (Simḥa) Luzzatto, a native of Venice, where he lived and died, serving as rabbi for over fifty years during the course of the seventeenth century. Luzzatto’s political thesis is simple and, at the same time, temerarious, if not revolutionary: Venice can put an end to its political decline, he argues, by offering the Jews a monopoly on overseas commercial activity. This plan is highly recommendable because the Jews are “wellsuited for trade,” much more so than others (such as “foreigners,” for example). The rabbi opens his argument by recalling that trade and usury are the only occupations permitted to Jews. Within the confines of their historical situation, the Venetian Jews became particularly skilled at trade with partners from the Eastern Mediterranean countries. Luzzatto’s argument is that this talent could be put at the service of the Venetian government in order to maintain – or, more accurately, recover – its political importance as an intermediary between East and West. He was the first to define the role of the Jews on the basis of their economic and social functions, disregarding the classic categorisation of Judaism’s alleged privileged religious status in world history. Nonetheless, going beyond the socio-economic arguments of the book, it is essential to point out Luzzatto’s resort to sceptical strategies in order to plead in defence of the Venetian Jews. It is precisely his philosophical and political scepticism that makes Luzzatto’s texts so unique. This edition aims to grant access to his works and thought to English-speaking readers and scholars. By approaching his texts from this point of view, the editors hope to open a new path in research into Jewish culture and philosophy that will enable other scholars to develop new directions and new perspectives, stressing the interpenetration between Jews and the surrounding Christian and secular cultures.

Download or read book Studies in the languages and language contact in Pre-Hellenistic Anatolia written by Federico Giusfredi and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on contacts between Anatolian languages within and outside Anatolia. The selected essays, written by members of ongoing research projects on Anatolian languages, present case studies from both the first and second millennia. These include etymological and morphophonological investigations within the framework of Graeco-Anatolian contacts, as well as a critical essay on the possible Anatolian-Etruscan contacts. Alongside strictly linguistic analysis, the essays cover different aspects of cultural contacts (the origin of the word for ‘salt’ in Luwian), toponyms (in Lycia), and religion (the god called King of Kaunos), and are introduced with a detailed overview of the origins of the Anatolian linguistic landscape.

Download or read book Homosexuality and Italian Cinema written by Mauro Giori and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to establish the relevance of same-sex desires, pleasures and anxieties in the cinema of post-war Italy. It explores cinematic representations of homosexuality and their significance in a wider cultural struggle in Italy involving society, cinema, and sexuality between the 1940s and 1970s. Besides tracing the evolution of representations through both art and popular films, this book also analyses connections with consumer culture, film criticism and politics. Giori uncovers how complicated negotiations between challenges to and valorization of dominant forms of knowledge of homosexuality shaped representations and argues that they were not always the outcome of hatred but also sought to convey unmentionable pleasures and complicities. Through archival research and a survey of more than 600 films, the author enriches our understanding of thirty years of Italian film and cultural history.

Book excerpt: 'Kissinger's absorbing book tackles head-on some of the toughest questions of our time . . . Its pages sparkle with insight' Simon Schama in the NEW YORKER Spanning more than three centuries, from Cardinal Richelieu to the fragility of the 'New World Order', DIPLOMACY is the now-classic history of international relations by the former Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Kissinger's intimate portraits of world leaders, many from personal experience, provide the reader with a unique insight into what really goes on -- and why -- behind the closed doors of the corridors of power. 'Budding diplomats and politicians should read it as avidly as their predecessors read Machiavelli' Douglas Hurd in the DAILY TELEGRAPH 'If you want to pay someone a compliment, give them Henry Kissinger's DIPLOMACY ... It is certainly one of the best, and most enjoyable [books] on international relations past and present ... DIPLOMACY should be read for the sheer historical sweep, the characterisations, the story-telling, the ability to look at large parts of the world as a whole' Malcolm Rutherford in the FINANCIAL TIMES

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold, innovative book promises to radically alter our understanding of the Atlantic slave trade, and the depths of its horrors. Stephanie E. Smallwood offers a penetrating look at the process of enslavement from its African origins through the Middle Passage and into the American slave market. Saltwater Slavery is animated by deep research and gives us a graphic experience of the slave trade from the vantage point of the slaves themselves. The result is both a remarkable transatlantic view of the culture of enslavement, and a painful, intimate vision of the bloody, daily business of the slave trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pages of the Hebrew Bible, ancient Israel gave witness to its encounter with a profound and uncontrollable reality experienced through relationship. This book, drawn from the heart of foremost Old Testament theologian Walter Brueggemann's Theology of the Old Testament, distills a career's worth of insights into the core message of the Hebrew Bible. God is described there, Brueggemann observes, as engaging four "partners" in the divine purpose. This volume presents Brueggeman at his most engaging, offering profound insights tailored especially for the beginning student of the Hebrew Bible.

Download or read book East and West in the Crusader States written by Krijna Nelly Ciggaar and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meeting of East and West in the Crusader States was the theme of a symposium held at Hernen Castle in 1997. It was the continuation of a similar symposium which has been published in the Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta 75. Various communities (Arabs, Armenians, Ethiopians, Greeks, Syrians and Latins) and various religions (the Church of Rome, the Orthodox Church of Constantinople, the Jacobites, the Muslims and others) play their part in the various Crusader States, sometimes in the effort to ecumenism, sometimes in the form of confrontations. Coins and seals in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem betray Eastern and Western influences. Daily life is reflected in historical texts, and in exempla and miracula. The fall of Edessa is described in the Lament of Edessa by Nerses Snorhali, which is here for the first time translated into English. Even icon-painting in Egypt reflects crusader influence.
