Download or read book Defining the Sacred written by Nicola Laneri and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is a phenomenon that is inseparable from human society. It brings about a set of emotional, ideological and practical elements that are pervasive in the social fabric of any society and characterizable by a number of features. These include the establishment of intermediaries in the relationship between humans and the divine; the construction of ceremonial places for worshipping the gods and practicing ritual performances; and the creation ritual paraphernalia. Investigating the religious dimensions of ancient societies encounters problems in defining such elements, especially with regard to societies that lack textual evidences and has tended to lead towards the identification of differentiation between the mental dimension, related to religious beliefs, and the material one associated with religious practices, resulting in a separation between scholars able to investigate, and possibly reconstruct, ritual practices (i.e., archaeologists), and those interested in defining the realm of ancient beliefs (i.e., philologists and religious historians). The aim of this collection of papers is to attempt to bridge these two dimensions by breaking down existing boundaries in order to form a more comprehensive vision of religion among ancient Near Eastern societies. This approach requires that a higher consideration be given to those elements (either artificial -- buildings, objects, texts, etc. -- or natural -- landscapes, animals, trees, etc.) that are created through a materialization of religious beliefs and practices enacted by members of communities. These issues are addressed in a series of specific case-studies covering a broad chronological framework that from the Pre-pottery Neolithic to the Iron Age.

Il primo, “Milano internazionale: la fragilità territoriale dei contesti archeologici” (Milano, 13 marzo 2019), promosso dal Dipartimento di Beni Culturali e Ambientali dell’Università degli Studi di Milano e dal Dipartimento di Architettura e Studi Urbani del Politecnico di Milano, è a cura di G. Bagnasco Gianni, S. Bortolotto, A. Garzulino e M. Marzullo. Il secondo, “Logic and computing. The underlying basis of digital archaeology”, è una sessione speciale dell’IMEKO TC-4 International Conference on Metrology for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (MetroArchaeo, Firenze, 4-6 dicembre 2019), a cura di A. Caravale e P. Moscati. Gli Atti raccolgono rispettivamente 9 e 15 contributi, introdotti dai curatori che illustrano scopi e risultati delle ricerche presentate, in cui l’uso delle tecnologie informatiche è determinante per l’analisi, l’interpretazione e la diffusione e valorizzazione dei dati. La prospettiva diacronica della sessione dedicata al calcolo e alla logica nella storia dell’informatica archeologica consente di collegare, attraverso un ponte teorico-metodologico, le prime esperienze di informatizzazione dei dati archeologici con le tendenze più recenti dell’archeologia digitale.

Download or read book Go Southwest, Old Man written by Mario Materassi and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go Southwest, Old Man,, a sort of personal remake of 'Go West, Young Man', the founding episteme of the American nineteenth century, conciliates these two souls (well, not to be pretentious, let's simply say two sides) that have actually always lived in harmony. This is a book generated by a quarter of a century spent wandering around the canyons and deserts of Arizona, Colorado, Utah and, above all New Mexico, with a view to penetrating the by now universal legend of the West, approaching the cultures (English, Hispanic and native American), and mastering the literature. The slant is composite: melding the scholarly with the informative and the travel journal, and the writing is composite too, because the book speaks English and Italian. It talks about cinema (lots of John Ford) and about detective stories, the most popular genre here, about visual arts and Latino folklore, about the legend of the West, the so-called 'Soul of the Southwest', and the kitsch style of Santa Fe. And it talks about (and with) some of the greatest writers that the Southwest has spawned: Rudolfo Anaya, Stanley Crawford, John Nichols and Hillerman. So what we have is a first-hand experience of the Southwest; where the ego is not entrenched within a precise disciplinary role but opens up - and exposes itself - to the thrilling risk of the discovery that can renew it.

Download or read book Values and Revaluations written by Hans Peter Hahn and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some things valuable while others are not? How much effort does it take to produce valuable objects? How can one explain the different appraisal of certain things in different temporal horizons and in different cultures? Cultural processes on how value is attached to things, and how value is re-established, are still little understood. The case studies in this volume, originating from anthropology and archaeology, provide innovative and differentiated answers to these questions. However, for all contributions there are some common basic assumptions. One of these concerns the understanding that it is rarely the value of the material itself that matters for high valuation, but rather the appreciation of the (assumed or constructed) origin of certain objects or their connection with certain social structures. A second of these shared insights addresses the ubiquity of phenomena of 'value in things'. There is no society without valued objects. As a rule, valuation is something negotiated or even disputed. Value arises through social action, whereby it is always necessary to ask anew which actors are interested in the value of certain objects (or in their appreciation). This also works the other way round: Who are those actors who question corresponding objective values and why?

Download or read book The Amorites and the Bronze Age Near East written by Aaron A. Burke and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Aaron A. Burke explores the evolution of Amorite identity in the Near East from ca. 2500-1500 BC. He sets the emergence of a collective identity for the Amorites, one of the most famous groups in Ancient Near Eastern history, against the backdrop of both Akkadian imperial intervention and declining environmental conditions during this period. Tracing the migration of Amorite refugees from agropastoral communities into nearby regions, he shows how mercenarism in both Mesopotamia and Egypt played a central role in the acquisition of economic and political power between 2100 and 1900 BC. Burke also examines how the establishment of Amorite kingdoms throughout the Near East relied on traditional means of legitimation, and how trade, warfare, and the exchange of personnel contributed to the establishment of an Amorite koiné. Offering a fresh approach to identity at different levels of social hierarchy over time and space, this volume contributes to broader questions related to identity for other ancient societies.

Download or read book Il confine orientale written by Giorgio Federico Siboni and published by Oltre edizioni. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il confine orientale può essere considerato come uno spazio in cui per secoli si sono intrecciate e sovrapposte molteplici frontiere, di natura politica, culturale, religiosa e infine nazionale. Un luogo non solo fisico, in quanto parte dell’Adriatico e in sostanza limine fra la penisola italiana e quella balcanica, ma anche cesura tra l’Europa occidentale e quella orientale in senso generico. Proprio in quanto superficie di rottura, il confine orientale rimane certamente un nodo caratteristico nella storia d’Italia. Collocato geograficamente dalle sponde del fiume Isonzo alla displuviale alpina orientale, racchiude il Carso (triestino e goriziano) e la penisola istriana sino a Fiume e al litorale dalmata con i suoi arcipelaghi di isole fino a Cattaro. In esatta sintonia con i numerosi contrasti confinari avvenuti in Europa fra la seconda metà del XIX secolo e la prima del XX, la storia del confine orientale italiano perdura come tentativo emblematico di fissare all’interno di una regione multiforme ed eterogenea per vicende e popoli una frontiera egemonica. Limite mutevole perché sempre fissato su termini ideologici e proprio per questo di perpetua ardua demarcazione. Nel più generale panorama storiografico sulla questione, il volume intende porsi quale strumento accessibile anche a un pubblico non specialistico interessato alle tematiche istriano-dalmate. Dalla pace di Campoformio ai fermenti irredentisti di fine Ottocento, dalle rivendicazioni seguite alla Grande guerra sino alla politica fascista e all’esodo giuliano, il saggio approfondisce lo scenario diplomatico internazionale con le sue implicazioni - prima e dopo - la Seconda guerra mondiale per seguire (grazie a una ricca messe di riferimenti bibliografici italiani e stranieri) l’evolversi delle contese per la definizione confinaria. L’autore considera i molti aspetti endogeni ed esogeni in costante azione nell’area considerata, giungendo all’epoca più recente, dopo la crisi della Jugoslavia, ed esaminando i rapporti con l’Unione europea, la cooperazione interstatale e la politica culturale in atto fra Italia, Slovenia e Croazia.

Book excerpt: Nelle quasi tre decadi trascorse dal crollo del Muro di Berlino le relazioni tra est e ovest dell’Europa hanno subito cambiamenti profondi. L’apertura delle vecchie frontiere e il proseguimento del processo d’integrazione europea che ha seguito la fine della Guerra fredda e della divisione ideologica ha riportato vigorosamente l’est al centro della sfera d’interesse occidentale, ridefinendo le stesse categorie di est e ovest e dando vita a nuove topografie culturali.L’obiettivo comune dei contributi raccolti nel volume L’est nell’ovest è quello d’indagare i cambiamenti e le continuità di significato dello sguardo occidentale verso l’est, e di quello orientale verso l’ovest, attraverso l’analisi delle rappresentazioni letterarie all’interno dei diversi discorsi nazionali e transnazionali. Negli ultimi anni l’intensificazione degli scambi tra est e ovest hanno avuto forti ripercussioni in ambito culturale, nel teatro, nel cinema, nelle arti visive, ma anche e soprattutto nella letteratura, dando vita a nuovi stili e modalità di espressione e contribuendo a ridefinire le usuali distinzioni tra prospettiva interna ed esterna, tra realtà, stereotipo e immaginazione.

Download or read book The Age of Agade written by Benjamin R. Foster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Agade is the first book-length study of the Akkadian period of Mesopotamian history, which saw the rise and fall of the world’s first empire during more than a century of extraordinary political, social, and cultural innovation. It draws together more than 40 years of research by one of the world’s leading experts in Assyriology to offer an exhaustive survey of the Akkadian empire. Addressing all aspects of the empire, including its statecraft and military, territory and cities, arts, religion, economy, and production, The Age of Agade considers what can be said of Akkadian political and social history, material culture, and daily life. A final chapter also explores how the empire has been presented in modern historiography, from the decipherment of cuneiform to the present, including the extensive research of Soviet historians, summarized here in English for the first time. Drawing on contemporaneous written and artifactual sources, as well as relevant materials from succeeding generations, Foster introduces the reader to the wealth of evidence available. Accessibly written by a specialist in the field, this book is an engaging examination of a critical era in the history of early Mesopotamia.
