This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims rethinking the cultural history of Mediterranean nationalisms between 19th and 20th centuries by tracing their specific approach to antiquity in the forging of a national past. By focusing on how national imaginaries dealt with this topic and how history and archaeology relied on antiquity, this collection of essays introduces a comparative approach presenting several cases studies concerning many regions including Spain, Italy and Slovenia as well as Albania, Greece and Turkey. By adopting the perspective of a dialogue among all these Mediterranean political cultures, this book breaks significantly new ground, because it shifts attention on how Southern Europe nationalisms are an interconnected political and cultural experience, directly related to the intellectual examples of Northern Europe, but also developing its own particular trends. Contributors are: Çiğdem Atakuman, Filippo Carlà, Francisco Garcia Alonso, Maja Gori, Eleni Stefanou, Rok Stergar, Katia Visconti.

Download or read book The Classical Foundations of Modern Historiography written by Arnaldo Momigliano and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, at last, are the long-awaited Sather Classical Lectures of the great historian Arnaldo Momigliano, In a masterly survey of the origins of ancient historiography, Momigliano captures those features of an ancient historian's work that not only gave it importance in its own day but also encouraged imitation and exploitation in later centuries. He reveals the extent to which Greek, Persian, and Jewish historians influenced the Western historiographic tradition, and then goes on to examine the first Roman historians and the emergence of national history. In the course of his exposition, he traces the development of antiquarian studies as distinctive branch of historical research from antiquity to the modern period, discusses the place of Tacitus in historical thought, and explores the way in which ecclesiastical historiography has developed a tradition of its own. All these lectures illustrate Momigliano's unrivaled ability to combine the study of classical texts and the history of classical scholarship. First delivered in 1962, the lectures were revised during the next fifteen years and then held for annotation that was never completed. They are now published from the author's manuscripts, collated and checked by Momigliano's literary executor, Anne Marie Meyer, of the Warburg Institute, with a foreword by Riccardo Di Donato, of the University of Pisa. The text is printed as the author left it. Sather Classical Lectures, 54

This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reappraisal of the pioneering humanist scholar Biondo Flavio During his lifetime the historian and antiquarian Biondo Flavio (1392– 1463) struggled to obtain recognition as a major contributor to the humanistic movement of the fifteenth century. Throughout the Renaissance, fellow Italian scholars far too often condemned rather than endorsed his scholarly works. His troublesome career and mixed reputation among his peers stand in stark contrast with the highly innovative character of his learning, which proved to be ground-breaking for the further development of various strands of historical and antiquarian research in the Early Modern Age. The authors of this volume aim to contribute to a reappraisal of this pioneering humanist scholar by a fresh assessment of his major writings in the fields of historical linguistics, historiography, Roman topography, and historical geography. Contributors Angelo Mazzocco (Mount Holyoke College), Marc Laureys (Universität Bonn), Giuseppe Marcellino (Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa), Fulvio Delle Donne (Università della Basilicata), Fabio Della Schiava (Universität Bonn), Paolo Pontari (Università di Pisa), Catherine Castner (University of South Carolina), Jeffrey White (St. Bonaventure University), Frances Muecke (University of Sydney)

Book excerpt: Il volume ospita gli Atti di un Convegno Internazionale svoltosi presso l' Universita di Verona nell' ottobre 2017. Quello che puo sembrare un refuso, la scrittura EstOvest, evidenzia fino a che punto le due realta cardinali siano da considerare come un insieme nell' area del Mediterraneo orientale, e simboleggia l' interdisciplinarieta fra studiosi di Vicino oriente antico e studiosi del mondo greco-romano che ha caratterizzato i giorni dei lavori. I casi di studio affrontati nelle relazioni, per quanto talvolta scarsamente o problematicamente documentati, sprigionano spesso una luce suggestiva che manca alle tormentate e non sempre comprensibili vicende che quei paesi vivono oggi. Luisa Prandi insegna Storia greca presso l' Universita di Verona. Ha esplorato, fra l' altro, la conservazione delle tradizioni storiche del mondo greco in autori vissuti in eta romana (Memorie storiche dei Greci in Claudio Eliano, 2007, in questa collana). Ha interessi di carattere storiografico che gravitano in buona parte su Alessandro il Grande e sull' Alessandrografia. Attualmente si sta occupando della storia della citta greca di Bisanzio, in una prospettiva di rapporti Est/Ovest.

Download or read book Global Perspectives in Modern Italian Culture written by Guido Abbattista and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-22 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Perspectives in Modern Italian Culture presents a series of unexplored case studies from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, each demonstrating how travellers, scientists, Catholic missionaries, scholars and diplomats coming from the Italian peninsula contributed to understandings of various global issues during the age of early globalization. It also examines how these individuals represented different parts of the world to an Italian audience, and how deeply Italian culture drew inspiration from the increasing knowledge of world ‘Otherness’. The first part of the book focuses on the production of knowledge, drawing on texts written by philosophers, scientists, historians and numerous other first-hand eyewitnesses. The second part analyses the dissemination and popularization of knowledge by focussing on previously understudied published works and initiatives aimed at learned Italian readers and the general public. Written in a lively and engaging manner, this book will appeal to scholars and students of early modern and modern European history, as well as those interested in global history.

Excerpt: ... forward on its own account: the Hellenes, who from Europe grasped at the coast of Asia Minor, the Aramaean peoples, who from Arabia and Syria advanced in a northern and north-eastern direction and substantially filled the valley of the Euphrates, and lastly, the stocks of Iran not merely inhabiting the country as far as the Tigris, but even penetrating to Armenia and Cappadocia, while primitive inhabitants of another type in these farextending regions succumbed under these leading powers and disappeared. In the epoch of the Achaemenids, the culminating point of the glory of Iran, the Iranian rule went far beyond this wide domain proper to the stock on all sides, but especially towards the west. Apart from the times, when Turan gained the upper hand over Iran and the Seljuks and Mongols ruled over the Persians, foreign rule, strictly so called, has only been established over the flower of the Iranian stocks twice, by Alexander the Great and his immediate successors and by the Arabian Abbasids, and on both occasions only for a comparatively short time; the eastern regions--in the former case the Parthians, in the latter the inhabitants of the ancient Bactria--not merely threw off again the yoke of the foreigner, but dislodged him also from the cognate west. The rale of When the Romans in the last age of the republic thiansT came into immediate contact with Iran as a consequence of the occupation of Syria, they found in existence the Persian empire regenerated by the Parthians. We have formerly had to make mention of this state on several occasions; this is the place to gather together the little that can be ascertained regarding the peculiar character of the empire, which so often exercised a decisive influence on the destinies of

Download or read book History from Crime written by Edward Muir and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How were popular attitudes toward death and life revealed in the illegal seventeenth-century practice of baptizing dead babies? What can be learned about the nature of government and economy in early modern Genoa by studying the methods of Renaissance counterfeiters? Why were certain forms of magic and witchcraft redefined by the Enlightenment as murder? In the latest volume of Selections from Quaderni Storici, Edward Muir and Guido Ruggiero bring together a distinguished group of scholars to explore the social and political history of early modern Italy through the study of criminal records. Like other volumes in the series, History from Crime demonstrates how a sophisticated analysis of documents once thought beneath scholarly notice can offer stunning new insights into the past. The authors show, for example, how the practice of keeping concubines by priests in early modern Siena reveals the contours of religious and social perceptions of the time. An analysis of the dynamics of rural feuds helps redefine the structures of power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. And a new look at the political values and norms of Renaissance Florence is provided by an examination of selected cases of political corruption." --

Download or read book Palestrina and the German Romantic Imagination written by James Garratt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-18 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the reception of Palestrina, this bold interdisciplinary study explains how and why the works of a sixteenth-century composer came to be viewed as a paradigm for modern church music. It explores the diverse ways in which later composers responded to his works and style, and expounds a provocative model for interpreting compositional historicism. In addition to presenting insights into the works of Bruckner, Mendelssohn and Liszt, the book offers fresh perspectives on the institutional, aesthetic and ideological frameworks sustaining the cultivation of choral music in this period. This publication provides an overview and analysis of the relation between the Palestrina revival and nineteenth-century composition and it demonstrates that the Palestrina revival was just as significant for nineteenth-century culture as parallel movements in the other arts, such as the Gothic revival.

Download or read book History and Memory in Ancient Greece written by Gordon Spencer Shrimpton and published by McGill Queens Univ. This book was released on 1997 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the early Greek historians; Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Ephorus and Theopompus; how they perceived `history', their investigative procedures, the relationship between the observer and the observed and how ancient and modern historiographical approaches differ. Shrimpton argues that ancient historians saw memories about public events as public possesions: they recorded public knowledge and were judged for their style and saw travel as the best way to acquire and transmit knowledge. Also assessed is the question of historical accuracy and the methods used by ancient historians to give their narratives authenticity. A scholarly work, full of ancient and modern references and comparisons.

This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the proceedings of the international conference “The Middle Ages in the Modern World,” held in Rome November 21-24, 2018. Attended by more than a hundred participants of different ages, educational backgrounds, and places of origin, the conference constituted a landmark in the study of medievalism: the historical discipline, now in full bloom, that investigates the ways in which the thousand-year period between 500 and 1500 was, and continues to be, presented, reconstructed, and imagined in successive eras. The book opens with a substantial bibliography drawn from all of its components, followed by the seven keynote lectures and ninety-three shorter texts - abstracts of the individual conference papers - organized along eight thematic pathways, which together provide a vivid image of the current state of the field.
