Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Studies: Presented to William Ridgeway on His Sixtieth Birthday, 6 August 1913 In the autumn of 1912 it was determined to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of the scholar in whose honour this miscellany has been prepared. The number of Professor Ridgeway's friends and the extraordinary range of his interests made a choice of contributors both necessary and difficult. Many of those who were first approached were in the end prevented by the pressure of official or other duties from taking part in the work; several others, who first heard of it when a circular was issued last June, were eager to join in the project, but the book had already outgrown the limit of size which had been fixed by agreement with the Syndics of the University Press, Many more friends therefore of Professor Ridge way are to be regarded as taking part in this tribute to him than those whose names appear as writers of papers in the volume. For the anthropological chapters the editor sought the advice of Dr A. C. Haddon, F. R. S., and Dr W. H. R. Rivers, F. R. S. The first half of the book was planned in consultation with Professor R. S. Conway, Litt. D., and Mr E. Harrison, M. A.; but the co-operation of these two scholars was by no means confined to the classical chapters, and it is largely owing to their active assistance and whole-hearted sympathy that the editor has been able to carry the work to a successful issue. The staff of the University Press have earned the gratitude of all friends of Professor Ridge way by helping to produce a volume worthy of the occasion.

Book Appropriated Pasts

Download or read book Appropriated Pasts written by Ian J. McNiven and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2005-09-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeology has been complicit in the appropriation of indigenous peoples' pasts worldwide. While tales of blatant archaeological colonialism abound from the era of empire, the process also took more subtle and insidious forms. Ian McNiven and Lynette Russell outline archaeology's "colonial culture" and how it has shaped archaeological practice over the past century. Using examples from their native Australia-- and comparative material from North America, Africa, and elsewhere-- the authors show how colonized peoples were objectified by research, had their needs subordinated to those of science, were disassociated from their accomplishments by theories of diffusion, watched their histories reshaped by western concepts of social evolution, and had their cultures appropriated toward nationalist ends. The authors conclude by offering a decolonized archaeological practice through collaborative partnership with native peoples in understanding their past.

Download or read book Landscapes of the Learned written by Elizabeth FitzPatrick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaelic literati were an elite and influential group in the social hierarchy of Irish lordships between c. 1300 and 1600. From their estates, they served Gaelic and Old English ruling families in the arts of history, law, medicine, and poetry. They farmed, kept guest-houses, conducted schools, and maintained networks of learning. In other capacities, they were involved in political assemblies and memorializing dynastic histories in landscape. This book presents a framework for identifying and interpreting the settings and built heritages of their estates in lordship borderscapes. It shows that a more textured definition of what this learned class represented can be achieved through the material record of the buildings and monuments they used, and where their lands were positioned in the political map. Where literati lived and worked are conceived as expressions of their intellectual and political cultures. Mediated by case studies of the landscapes of their estates, dwellings, and schools, the methodology is predominantly field based, using archaeological investigation and topographic and spatial analyses, and drawing on historical and literary texts, place-names and lore in referencing named people to places. More widely, the study contributes a landscape perspective to the growing body of work on autochthonous intellectual culture and the exercise of power by ruling families in late medieval and early modern northern European societies.

Book Ancient Greece and Rome

Download or read book Ancient Greece and Rome written by Keith Hopwood and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Thomas Fairfax, not Oliver Cromwell, was creator and commander of Parliament's New Model Army from 1645 to1650. Although Fairfax emerged as England's most successful commander of the 1640s, this book challenges the orthodoxy that he was purely a military figure, showing how he was not apolitical or disinterested in politics. The book combines narrative and thematic approaches to explore the wider issues of popular allegiance, puritan religion, concepts of honour, image, reputation, memory, gender, literature, and Fairfax's relationship with Cromwell. 'Black Tom' delivers a groundbreaking examination of the transformative experience of the English revolution from the viewpoint of one of its leading, yet most neglected, participants. It is the first modern academic study of Fairfax, making it essential reading for university students as well as historians of the seventeenth century. Its accessible style will appeal to a wider audience of those interested in the civil wars and interregnum more generally.
