Book On the road in the name of religion II

Download or read book On the road in the name of religion II written by Klaus Herbers and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH. This book was released on 2016 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilgern ist eine der ältesten und zugleich aktuellsten Formen von Mobilität. Millionen von Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturräumen machen sich jährlich auf den Weg. Über religiöse Grenzen hinweg eint die Pilger verschiedener Epochen ihr Aufbruch zu spirituellen oder heiligen Zielen - wobei die Motive und Praktiken vielfältig sind. Ein Pilger unternimmt seine Pilgerfahrt nicht allein aus religiösen Motiven, sie ist mehr als eine religiöse Übung. Politische Implikationen, anthropologische Dispositionen, literarische Fiktionen und vieles andere spielen eine Rolle. Nachdem in einem ersten Band das Pilgern vorrangig als Ritual verstanden und nach den Motiven gefragt wurde, beschäftigen sich die Autorinnen und Autoren in diesem zweiten Band mit den Wegen und Zielen des Pilgerns: Neben der Frage nach der Entstehung solcher Traditionen nehmen sie zusätzlich ihre materielle, kulturelle und metaphysische Bedeutung in den Blick. Davon ausgehend erschließen auch Quellen, die auf den ersten Blick nicht thematisch einschlägig erscheinen, neue Perspektiven. Kultur- und literaturwissenschaftliche sowie philologische Methoden ergänzen hierbei die genuin historische Herangehensweise.

Book excerpt: This collection brings together newly commissioned and cutting-edge essays on oral text and tradition ranging from the ancient and medieval world to the present day by an international group of leading oral theorists drawn from Europe and North America. Using a range of materials including the Bible, Greek epic, Beowulf, Old Norse and Old English riddles, and medieval music, the contributors collectively work to refine, challenge, and further advance contemporary Oral Theory, an interdisciplinary school of thought heavily influenced by John Miles Foley, whose work provides the jumping-off point for this volume. The book includes a useful introduction to the history of oral theory, and Foley's ground-breaking and influential work.

" —Religious Studies Review "As ever, Professor Foley's conscientious scholarship and sound judgements combine to make a further substantial contribution to the field." —E. C. Hawkesworth, School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London, The Slavonic Review "Foley is probably the only scholar who is in a position even to suggest the extent of what we should know to work in this area." —Speculum "Foley's survey stands as a fitting tribute to the achievements of Parry and Lord and as a sure guide to future productive work in the field." —Journal of American Folklore " . . . detailed and informative study . . . We are fortunate that John Foley chose to write this book." —Motif " . . .

Book The Singer of Tales in Performance

Download or read book The Singer of Tales in Performance written by John Miles Foley and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A great book... " -- Choice "... a groundbreaking work of scholarship... " -- Asian Folklore Studies "This extremely fascinating study opens an important chapter in the ethnography of speech, briliantly confirming the views advanced by Dell Hymes, Albert Lord and Richard Baumann." -- The Journal of Indo-European Studies Building on his work in Traditional Oral Epic and Immanent Art, John Foley dissolves the perceived barrier between "oral" and "written," creating a composite theory from oral-formulaic theory and the ethnography of speaking and ethnopoetics. "…a groundbreaking work of scholarship that clears the path for solving the perennial problem of the interpretation of oral-derived texts. The book will be of immense value to students of folklore and literature, and to those seriously interested in the interface of the two traditionally divided disciplines." -- Asian Folklore Studies

Book Jerusalem Pilgrimage  1099   1185

Download or read book Jerusalem Pilgrimage 1099 1185 written by John Wilkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem many pilgrims came to Jerusalem. The translations in this book are of seventeen western accounts of pilgrimage, written between 1099 and 1185, and there are two additional accounts from eastern pilgrims, Abbot Daniel from Russia and John Phocas from Antioch. As a whole this collection shows the gradually developing way in which western Christians understood the Holy Places. Some early pilgrims depended on authorities, many of whom by 1099 were out-of-date. They tried to deliver the truth about the Holy Places and to be reticent about their own reactions. But the pilgrims who appear later in the collections made their own archaeological judgements, and were more free about their own reactions. Pilgrimage after 1099 was altered by the fact that by their victory over Jerusalem the Dome of the Rock fell into the Crusader's hands. Otherwise the differences of practice between eastern and western pilgrims were slight. Thus eastern pilgrims visited the Greek and western pilgrims the Latin monasteries. Western pilgrims had a different idea of the location of Emmaus, and before 1185 a western Way of the Cross was beginning to take shape. These were slight differences, and in general all Christian pilgrims, whether from east or west, visited the same Holy Places as they had during the preceding period. Most of the works in this collection were translated into English a century ago by the Palestine Pilgrim's Text Society. But these texts were produced separately as pamphlets, and lacked a general introduction. In this book therefore the texts are retranslated, sometimes from more accurate texts. In introducing the texts some valuable new evidence from archaeology has been used and enabled a new assessment of their dates.

Book The Hospitallers  the Mediterranean and Europe

Download or read book The Hospitallers the Mediterranean and Europe written by Nikolas Jaspert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern study of the Hospitallers, of other military-religious orders, and of their activities both in the Mediterranean and in Europe has been deeply influenced by the work of Anthony Luttrell. To mark his 75th birthday in October 2007 twenty-three colleagues from ten different countries have contributed to this volume. The first section focuses on the crusading period in the Holy Land, considering the Hospital in Jerusalem, relations with the Assassins, finances, indulgences, transportation and the careers of the brothers and knights. The second and third sections move to the later Middle Ages, when the Hospitallers had their centre on Rhodes, and military and charitable activities in the East had to be supported with men and money from the West. The papers in the second section consider the Hospitallers on Rhodes, relations between Rhodes and the West and plans for crusades, while the third section includes papers on the Hospitallers in the Iberian Peninsula and in Hungary, the territorial administration of the Order of Montesa in Valencia, a plan to transfer the headquarters of the Teutonic Order from Prussia to Frisia, and a Hospitaller reconsideration of warfare and learning on the eve of the council of Trent. The final paper proposes new definitions and guidelines for future work on the military-religious orders. The authors include both well-known experts and younger scholars who promise to follow in the footsteps of Anthony Luttrell and to continue research into the Hospitallers and their fellow orders, these peculiar European communities avant la lettre.
