Book Synopsis Circuits of Metal Value by : Toby C. Wilkinson
Download or read book Circuits of Metal Value written by Toby C. Wilkinson and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the part played by different metals in use from the fourth millennium BC to the Early Iron Age, not only in the Aegean but also in the wider Old World. It addresses the divergent uses and roles of different metals, the interrelationships of these roles and the changing values that may have been accorded to them at different times and in different places by producers and consumers. Individually, the papers in the volume contemplate the particular properties of different metals and the various issues concerning their frequent under-representation in the archaeological (but not necessarily textual) record, and also point out comparative and diachronic perspectives that may have the ability to offer insights into their important roles in wider cultural and historical changes over a period of several millennia. After the Introduction and Chapter 1, which reflects on some of the parameters involved in the term ‘precious’ as applied to metals, the remaining six chapters cover the Aegean and the networks that link the Aegean with Italy, Cyprus and the Near East more generally, and south-east Anatolia and the Caucasus. Between them they discuss the beginnings of regular iron metallurgy, the uses of and attitudes to gold, silver and bronze and other copper-based alloys at various times between the fourth millennium BC and the Early Iron Age.
Book Synopsis Celtic from the West 3 by : John T. Koch
Download or read book Celtic from the West 3 written by John T. Koch and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Celtic languages and groups called Keltoi (i.e. 'Celts') emerge into our written records at the pre-Roman Iron Age. The impetus for this book is to explore from the perspectives of three disciplines--archaeology, genetics, and linguistics--the background in later European prehistory to these developments. There is a traditional scenario, according to which, Celtic speech and the associated group identity came in to being during the Early Iron Age in the north Alpine zone and then rapidly spread across central and western Europe. This idea of 'Celtogenesis' remains deeply entrenched in scholarly and popular thought. But it has become increasingly difficult to reconcile with recent discoveries pointing towards origins in the deeper past. It should no longer be taken for granted that Atlantic Europe during the 2nd and 3rd millennia BC were pre-Celtic or even pre-Indo-European. The explorations in Celtic from the West 3 are drawn together in this spirit, continuing two earlier volumes in the influential series"--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 9 papers from a session at the 15th uispp congress, which aims to bring together recent research on early Iron Age chronology from throughout the Mediterranean, with the belief that comparative study would should shed light on common problems in researching chronology.

Book Synopsis International Geographic by : Stefan St-Laurent
Download or read book International Geographic written by Stefan St-Laurent and published by YYZ Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of International Geographic is experimental ethnographic film, video and performance art. This anthology of essays and artists’ projects addresses questions such as "How do we represent human populations in art?", "What are the devices artists use to address impacts on the subjects they are working with?", and "What are the lines that separate cultural appropriation from exploitation?" Ethnographic film and video is commonly characterized as anthropological work that seeks to establish an objective and analytical depiction of a specific culture. The essays and artworks in this collection call this definition into question.
Book Synopsis Averroes’ Middle Commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics by : Maroun Aouad
Download or read book Averroes’ Middle Commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics written by Maroun Aouad and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Averroes’ Middle Commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics reveals the original version, previously considered lost, of a landmark work in Arabic philosophy. Undoubtedly authored by the Cordovan thinker Averroes (1126-1198), this “middle” commentary is distinct from the Long Commentary and the Short Commentary in method, several doctrinal elements, and scope (it includes books M and N of the Stagirite’s treatise). These points and the transmission of the Middle Commentary at the crossroads of Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin traditions are addressed in the introduction, which also establishes that the work was extensively quoted by the mystical philosopher Ibn Sabʿīn (13th c.). The edition of the text and the facing translation follow. At the end of the book are Ibn Sabʿīn’s quotations, along with extensive indexes.

Book Synopsis Toward a Linguistic and Literary Revision of Cultural Paradigms by : Ettore Finazzi-Agrò
Download or read book Toward a Linguistic and Literary Revision of Cultural Paradigms written by Ettore Finazzi-Agrò and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws an updated Euro-American conceptual map, starting from a limited number of strategic terms whose meanings today are judged univocal and permanent, while in fact daily use has turned them into “common sense”, depriving them of their ambiguity – an original feature of language, particularly relevant when it comes to literary use. By re-examining the proper noun for each of the selected notions, the contributors’ common intent is to shed light on their polysemous nature and linguistic fluidity, in spite of the common tendency towards simplification and homogeneity imposed by hegemonic cultural paradigms. Along this line, the book explores the great divides between identity and otherness (or common or alien) in order to recover a sense of cultural identity which is at once polymorphous and polyphonic.
Book Synopsis Grammaticalization and First Language Acquisition by : Dominique Bassano
Download or read book Grammaticalization and First Language Acquisition written by Dominique Bassano and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-29 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grammaticalization and lexicalization are at the heart of first language acquisition. Understanding how these processes begin and evolve is a major challenge for current theories and has implications for applications in teaching or clinical contexts. This volume examines the relative weight of cognitive and linguistic determinants of acquisition with particular attention to two questions. The first one concerns the origins of grammar and the processes underlying its development. Is grammatical knowledge innate or constructed by the child? Is it modular or does it interact with other capacities? How can we account for continuity and discontinuity in development? What is the role of input? Second, considerable variation is observed in lexical and grammatical development across child languages. Is the process of acquisition similar in all children or do language-specific factors impact its rhythm and course? Do typological factors determine children’s reliance on lexical or grammatical means of expression in some domains? Originally published in Language, Interaction and Acquisition - Langage, Interaction et Acquisition 2:1 (2011).

Book Synopsis Mutations of Hellenism in Late Antiquity by : Polymnia Athanassiadi
Download or read book Mutations of Hellenism in Late Antiquity written by Polymnia Athanassiadi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21 studies in this volume, which deal with issues of social and intellectual history, religion and historical methodology, explore the ways whereby over the course of a few hundred years -roughly between the second and the fifth centuries A.D.- an anthropocentric culture mutated into a theocentric one. Rather than underlining the differences between a revamped paganism and the emergent Christian traditions, the essays in the volume focus on the processes of osmosis, interaction and acculturation, which shaped the change in priorities among the newly created textual communities that were spreading across the entire breadth of the late antique oecumene. The main issues considered in this connection include the phenomena of textuality and holy scripture, canonicity and exclusion, truth and error, prophecy and tradition, authority and challenge, faith and salvation, holy places and holy men, in the context of the construction of new orthodox readings of the Greek philosophical heritage. Moreover the volume suggests that intolerant attitudes, which form a characteristic trait of monotheisms, were not an exclusive preserve of Christianity (as the Enlightenment tradition would insist), but were progressively espoused by pagan philosophers and divine men as part of the theory and practice of Hellenism‘s theological koine. Efforts to establish the monopoly of a revealed truth against any rival claims were transversal to the textual communities which emerged in late antiquity and remodelled the intellectual and spiritual landscape of the Greater Mediterranean.

Download or read book Language and Meter written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Language and Meter, Dieter Gunkel and Olav Hackstein unite fifteen linguistic studies on a variety of poetic traditions, including the Homeric epics, the hieratic hymns of the Ṛgveda, the Gathas of the Avesta, early Latin and the Sabellic compositions, Germanic alliterative verse, Insular Celtic court poetry, and Tocharian metrical texts. The studies treat a broad range of topics, including the prehistory of the hexameter, the nature of Homeric formulae, the structure of Vedic verse, rhythm in the Gathas, and the relationship between Germanic and Celtic poetic traditions. The volume contributes to our understanding of the relationship between language and poetic form, and how they change over time.
