Book Synopsis Breve historia de la vida cotidiana del antiguo Egipto by : Clara Ramos Bullón
Download or read book Breve historia de la vida cotidiana del antiguo Egipto written by Clara Ramos Bullón and published by Nowtilus. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Descubra la rica cultura milenaria del antiguo Egipto y la vida cotidiana de sus gentes: la vida en el campo, las clases sociales y los oficios, la alimentación, el matrimonio y la familia, la moda, la estética y el culto al cuerpo, las grandes ciudades y construcciones, el cosmos religioso egipcio y la vida de ultratumba. La frase harto conocida del historiador griego Herodoto "Egipto es un don del Nilo" resume muy bien la importancia del mismo para la civilización del antiguo Egipto. Pero si profundizamos en esta frase, el Nilo por sí solo no es un don, sino que fueron los campesinos convertidos en agrimensores por la naturaleza del río y las inundaciones que fertilizaban las tierras, los que permitieron su opulencia en beneficio de toda la sociedad. La civilización egipcia siempre ha suscitado un interés del que pocas culturas han gozado. El fastuoso boato de la corte faraónica y la importancia de la religión dominaban la esfera oficial para traspasar el ámbito de lo trascendental. Sin embargo, el antiguo Egipto no fue únicamente esto, pues el día a días se imponía, donde los diferentes estamentos sociales se ocupaban de sus quehaceres diarios. Es el universo de lo cotidiano del antiguo Egipto el objetivo de este libro, en el que se explicarán cuestiones poco conocidas o sorprendentes para el lector como la variada alimentación; la importancia de la moda; la estructura familiar y social; la trascendencia de la religión; etc. Gracias a esta visión un poco más intimista se intentará desterrar la falsa idea de que era un pueblo inmovilista, ya que además está más presente de lo imaginamos en nuestro mundo, pues utilizamos herramientas inventadas por personas de esta cultura milenaria.
Book Synopsis The Object of the Atlantic by : Rachel Price
Download or read book The Object of the Atlantic written by Rachel Price and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Object of the Atlantic is a wide-ranging study of the transition from a concern with sovereignty to a concern with things in Iberian Atlantic literature and art produced between 1868 and 1968. Rachel Price uncovers the surprising ways that concrete aesthetics from Cuba, Brazil, and Spain drew not only on global forms of constructivism but also on a history of empire, slavery, and media technologies from the Atlantic world. Analyzing Jose Marti’s notebooks, Joaquim de Sousandrade’s poetry, Ramiro de Maeztu’s essays on things and on slavery, 1920s Cuban literature on economic restructuring, Ferreira Gullar’s theory of the “non-object,” and neoconcrete art, Price shows that the turn to objects—and from these to new media networks—was rooted in the very philosophies of history that helped form the Atlantic world itself.

Book excerpt: Nubia: Ancient Kingdoms of Africa is the accompanying catalogue for an exhibition at New York University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World that explores the rich cultures of ancient Nubia in present-day southern Egypt and northern Sudan. The exhibition traces the rise, fall, and re-emergence of Nubian power over the course of some 2,500 years, from the earliest Nubian kingdoms of about 3000 BC through the conquest of Egypt beginning in about 750 BC. Beautifully illustrated, the catalogue includes a historical overview of Nubia and its excavations by Guest Curator Geoff Emberling; a series of archival excavation photos from one of Nubia's most prodigious excavators, George A. Reisner; a checklist of objects from the exhibition; and a selected bibliography for further study of these rich but little understood African kingdoms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El campesino que cultivaba en las orillas del Nilo recibía la visita regular del recaudador de impuestos, quien necesitaba del escriba para que nada se le escapara y todos pagaran lo que debían, de lo cual rendía cuentas al visir. Éste era el responsable de hacerse cargo de todo en nombre de su señor, el soberano de la Dos Tierras, el faraón, a quien informaba en profundidad y a diario de lo que sucedía en el país… Soldados, esclavos, sacerdotes, reinas, madres, estudiantes, embalsamadores, criminales… la sociedad egipcia era un mosaico complejo de hombres, mujeres y niños. El día a día a orillas del río era un ciclo en el que se relacionaban un montón de piezas que de algún modo encajaban las unas con las otras, manteniendo en pie la estructura social de aquellos que vivían bajo la atenta mirada del dios Amón Ra. José Miguel Parra nos ofrece en este libro una reconstrucción lo más cercana posible a la realidad cotidiana de lo que fue una de las culturas más apasionantes de la historia: la faraónica.

Book Synopsis Daily Life on the Istrian Frontier by : Robert Kurelić
Download or read book Daily Life on the Istrian Frontier written by Robert Kurelić and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixteenth century Istrian peninsula was a land divided between two great powers: Venice, a declining and decadent sea power jealously protecting its Adriatic Empire, and Austria in ascendancy with the Habsburg's firm grasp of the Imperial Crown and the beginnings of hegemony in Central and Eastern Europe. The collision course seemed inevitable and two great wars were fought to determine whether the Serenissima's maritime supremacy could be broken. In the shadow of these great powers and their ceaseless maneuvering, the inhabitants of Istria had to live with malaria, plague, famine, banditry, war and each other. Sharing a common ethnic and cultural identity, the predominantly Slavic subjects in the rural hinterlands of Istria had to balance their everyday struggle for survival with political allegiances resulting from the presence of the frontier. The microcosm of Istria was riddled with tensions and disputes over imprecise boundaries that failed to delineated vital forests and pastures, leading to frequent bouts of violence. Yet, at the same time, the inhabitants of Istria worked and married across state boundaries, creating a complicated network of identities and producing a trove of everyday human stories. This book brings to light the colorful mosaic of frontier life at the very end of the Middle Ages.
Book Synopsis A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula by : Fernando Cabo Aseguinolaza
Download or read book A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula written by Fernando Cabo Aseguinolaza and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested. Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda. A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.
Book Synopsis The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a "deep" Alternative by : Claudia von Werlhof
Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a "deep" Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».
Book Synopsis A History of Western Astrology by : S. J. Tester
Download or read book A History of Western Astrology written by S. J. Tester and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 1987 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superb general account.' Times Literary Supplement The story of the history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift of ideas during the Renaissance.
