Download or read book Greek Personal Names written by Elaine Matthews and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-12-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the great diversity of their world, the assertion of origin was essential to the ancient Greeks in defining their sense of who they were and how they distinguished themselves from neighbours and strangers. Each person's name might carry both identity and origin - 'I am' . . . inseparable from 'I come from' . . . Names have surfaced in many guises and locations - on coins and artefacts, embedded within inscriptions and manuscripts - carrying with them evidence even from prehistoric and preliterate times. The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names has already identified more than 200,000 individuals. The contributors to this volume draw on this resource to demonstrate the breadth of scholarly uses to which name evidence can be put. These essays narrate the stories of political and social change revealed by the incidence of personal names and cast a fascinating light upon both the natural and supernatural phenomena which inspired them. This volume offers dramatic illumination of the ways in which the ancient Greeks both created and interpreted their world through the specific language of personal names.

Download or read book TransAntiquity written by Domitilla Campanile and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread "transgender dynamics" were in antiquity.
Download or read book The Imagined Immigrant written by Ilaria Serra and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.
Download or read book Udjahorresnet and His World written by Melanie Wasmuth and published by . This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixth-century BCE Egypt spawned a key figure of ancient cross-regional diplomacy. The Egyptian politician and chief physician Udjahorresnet held high inner-political functions in the former Egyptian kingship realm and became an important figure in transforming Egypt into a regional center within the vast and exceedingly culturally diverse empire of the Achaemenid Persians. His reputation was such that he was revered some two centuries after his death, but today many scholars view him as a collaborator. Udjahorresnet was, no doubt, a complex man, and he left a complex record reflecting the complex world in which he lived. The thirteen papers in this volume explore his life, his texts, his artifacts, and his milieu.

Download or read book A Philosophy of Political Myth written by Chiara Bottici and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, originally published in 2007, Chiara Bottici argues for a philosophical understanding of political myth. Bottici demonstrates that myth is a process, one of continuous work on a basic narrative pattern that responds to a need for significance. Human beings need meaning in order to master the world they live in, but they also need significance in order to live in a world that is less indifferent to them. This is particularly true in the realm of politics. Political myths are narratives through which we orient ourselves, and act and feel about our political world. Bottici shows that in order to come to terms with contemporary phenomena, such as the clash between civilizations, we need a Copernican revolution in political philosophy. If we want to save reason, we need to look at it from the standpoint of myth.

Book excerpt: Mit der Festschrift zum 65. Geburtstag wird mit Hartmut Kuhne ein Wissenschaftler geehrt, der durch seine langjahrige Lehr- und Ausgrabungstatigkeit zahlreiche Schuler im In- und Ausland hervorgebracht und sich grosse Verdienste um die Archaologie Syriens, aber auch Anatoliens erworben hat.Die von renommierten Archaologen und Philologen verfassten Beitrage zu den "Fundstellen" tragen dieser Lebensleistung Rechnung. Der chronologische Rahmen reicht vom Neolithikum Westsyriens (K. Bartl) und Sudwestanatoliens (E. Abay) bis zur Romanisierung Ostsyriens(A. Oettel) und der spatantiken Besiedlung des Tell Feheriye (N. Ritter). Einen Schwerpunkt bildet die mittel- und neuassyrische bzw. spathethitische Zeit. Dabei werden bau- und kunstgeschichtliche Fragen zur Architektur von Hama (P. Matthiae), Karkamis (M. Pucci), Tall Seh Hamad (A. Kose) und Kar Tukulti-Ninurta (A. Gilibert) ebenso thematisiert wie die Bestattungssitten in Tell Sabi Abyad (P. Akkermans/ E. Smits), Tall Knedig (S. Kulemann-Ossen/L. Martin) und Dur Katlimmu (J. Kreppner). W. Rollig, K. Radner und E. Cancik-Kirschbaum betrachten diesen Zeitraum aus historischem Blickwinkel. R. Bernbeck widmet sich in seinem Beitrag der historisch verzerrten Gestalt der Semiramis. D. Bonatz betrachtet "Bartlosigkeit in Assyrien" aus kulturanthropologischer Sicht. G. Bunnens beschaftigt sich mit der "damnatio memoriae" in den Wandmalereien von Til Barsib. V. Haas wirft am Beispiel des urartaischen Urzana-Siegels Licht auf die Forschungsgeschichte der altorientalischen Glyptik.
