Download or read book Travels and Translations written by Alison Yarrington and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the fascinating interactions and exchanges between British and Italian cultures from the early modern period to the present. It looks at how these exchanges were mediated through personal encounters, travel writings, and translations, involving a variety of protagonists: explorers, writers, poets, preachers, diplomats and tourists. In particular, this book examines the understanding of Italy as a destination and set of locations, each with their own distinctive geographical character, during a period which saw the creation of the modern Italian state. It also charts the shifts in travelling activity during this period, from early explorers and cartographers, via those taking part in the Grand Tour in the 18th and 19th centuries, to more modern poet-travellers and blogging tourists. Drawing upon literary studies, history, art history, cultural studies, translation studies, sociology and socio-linguistics, this volume takes a cross-disciplinary approach to its rich constellation of ‘cultural transactions’.

Download or read book Archaeology and History in Sardinia from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages written by Stephen L. Dyson and published by UPenn Museum of Archaeology. This book was released on 2007 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With one of the richest archaeological records and most complicated histories in the Mediterranean, Sardinia provides an important laboratory for studying the interaction of indigenous societies and outside forces in a partly isolated geographical context. Stephen L. Dyson and Robert J. Rowland, Jr. use both material culture and written documents to reconstruct the social and economic processes of an island society that showed both cultural creativity and continuity but responded to invasions from the Phoenicians through the Romans to the Aragonese. This first accessible reconstruction of island archaeology provides a balanced picture of the sweep of Sardinian history.

It is still, perhaps, too much the tendency, when the origins of a people are unknown, to insist on any recorded immigrations and foreign settlements, and to derive the national characteristics from such colonies. This was the method of the Greeks, and our books still give much space to Iberian, Etruscan, Phoenician, or Hellenic elements in Sardinia, all of which may have existed, without exercising a lasting effect on the mass of the islanders. It is clear that some trade relations with the Eastern Mediterranean existed, not only in Mycenaean times, but again when Greek colonization in the West was active. Whether the Greeks at this time ever obtained an actual foothold in Sardinia is disputed, but it is certain that they were established for a time in Corsica in the sixth century B.C.1 Olbia, too, lying in an isolated position on the north-east coast of Sardinia, with its strong Greek tradition and retention of Greek artistic models, was very probably a settlement of Massiliot 1 Hdt. 1.165. Early Relations with Greeks Greeks, also originating in the sixth century at a time when Phoenician influence was temporarily depressed. For some time before the Romans appeared in the island Olbia had been a possession of Carthage, and the Greeks had been expelled or absorbed. Neapolis, near Tharros on the west coast, may have been a small Greek emporium which the Carthaginians allowed the Massiliots to establish. In this district has been found an inscription in the archaic Greek of the sixth century, with two obsolete symbols and retrograde lettering;1 and in
Download or read book A Prehistory of Sardinia 2300 500 BC written by Gary S. Webster and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1996 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An archaeologically-based study of Sardinia in English has been lacking for over a decade, and this study fills that gap. New evidence and the powerful processualist tools for analysing island societies developed in the eastern Mediterranean by Cherry, Renfrew and Knapp are incorporated. Also the real architectural and technological differences classified as Nuragic I to IV are revaluated and their social significance assessed. While the island can be seen as a social laboratory' on which one can study endogenous change, the effect of Phoenician influence in the later period and of trading links earlier on are well considered by the author and make the book, if not the subject, more than academically insular.

Download or read book Insights into D H Lawrence s Sardinia written by Nick Ceramella and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume offers a wide horizon on D. H. Lawrence’s search for an ideal primitive society in a pristine natural environment. It lends itself to an interesting comparison with today’s reality, with a particular focus on Sardinia. It combines literature and photography in order to analyse Sicilian and Sardinian society. The volume investigates aspects which have hardly been considered in depth in previous publications on Lawrence’s Sea and Sardinia, such as the strongly stressed ecological approach that makes Lawrence an incredible writer of our time, the role of Sardinian women as opposed to that of men as seen by Lawrence, and the importance of food and traditional costumes as persistent symbols of local identity.

Download or read book Wild Sardinia written by Tracey Heatherington and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shared concern for nature can be a way of transcending national, ethnic, religious, and cultural boundaries, yet conservation efforts often pit the interests of historically rooted or indigenous peoples against the state and international environmental organizations, eroding local autonomy while “saving” rural land for animals and tourists. Wild Sardinia’s examination of the cultural politics around nature conservation and the traditional Commons on an Italian island illustrates the complexities of environmental stewardship. Long known as the home of fiercely independent shepherds (often typecast as rustics, bandits, or eco-vandals), as well as wild mouflon sheep, magnificent eagles, and rare old oak forests, the town of Orgosolo has for several decades received notoriety through local opposition to Gennargentu National Park. Interweaving rich ethnographic description of highland central Sardinia with analysis grounded in political ecology and reflexive cultural critique, Wild Sardinia illuminates the ambivalent and open-ended meanings of many Sardinians’ acts and memories of “resistance” to environmental projects. This groundbreaking case study of the tension between living cultural landscapes and the emerging ecological imaginaries envisioned through policy discourses and new media -- the “global dreamtimes of environmentalism” -- has relevance far beyond its Mediterranean locale.
