Abstract

This volume includes 24 studies on comparative culture analysis in the Southeastern-European and Mediterrean area, as practizised in the "Ethnologia europaea" of Leopold Kretzenbacher, giving an idea of the plurality of possible topics and issues of folk culture in history and presence of this oldest part of Europe, which has not yet been really explored by interested readers. In t erms of subjects and methods these studies are partly located beyond the traditional thematical set of folklore studies: theoretical and terminological problems are discussed, cultural history since the late antiquity is involved, theological issues come together with research facts on customs and rites, masques and disguisings, issues of gender studies and sociology af ages are brought together with methodological critics on comparativism of the Victorian school of ethnography, the competitions of tournament are analyzed in historical and functional context as symbols of power and superiority of Venice in the Eastern Mediterrean, folk plays are examined as prefigurating structures of elaborated forms of folk theatre as well as the influences of Byzantine ecclesiastic painting and iconography on orthodox folk culture; other chapters focus on ethnosteretyps, on forms and functions of blood brotherhood (adoptio in fratrem) since late antiquity, the ways of reception of popular reading material throughout the Balkan peninsula since the 16th century are presented. Other studies are dedicated to the formation of religious traditions in West and East, between Catholicism and Orthodoxy, to fairy tales between orality and literacy, but also topics like the public display of personal feelings, forms of gestures, figures of demonology, narratives of oral autobiography, etymological and semantic questions are examined and research projects on oral folk literature are presented. One chapter is also dedicated to the ideological use of folklore studies in the nineteenth century. Chapters 15-24 focus more sepcifically on Greece without lacking wider comparative views. The Introduction and the Conclusion, the selected bibliography at the end of the volume and the indices integrate these chapters in a unique perspective. The specific indices allow also a selective use of the volume. Der vorliegende Band stellt 24 Studien zur balkan-mediterranen Kulturkomparatistik im Zeichen einer Vergleichenden Volkskunde zusammen, wie sie vom Altmeister der "Ethnologia europaea", Leopold Kretzenbacher, betrieben wurde, und vermittelt einen lebhaften Eindruck über die mögliche Reichweite von Themen und Fragekomplexen, die sich in Geschichte und Gegen wart der Volkskultur des ältesten europäischen Kulturraums Europas stellen, den es für eine interessierte Leserschaft vielfach noch zu entdecken gilt. Unter methodischen Gesichtspunkten reicht die Vielfalt der Studien über den traditionellen thematischen Kanon der Vergleichenden Volkskunde hinaus: neben theoretischen und terminologischen Fragen wird in die Kulturgeschichte bis zur Spätantike ausgeholt, theologische Fragestellungen kommen neben Masken- und Brauchforschung zu stehen, alterssoziologische und gender-zentrierte Problematiken treffen auf die Methodenkritik der Viktorianischen Schule der Ethnographie, Sportgeschichte und ihre symbolisch-machtpolitische Funktionen kommen zur Sprache, das Volksschauspiel als genetische Struktur eine möglichen Theaterentwicklung ist thematisiert, die byzantinische Ikonographie wird in Einzelbeispielen auf ihre Auswirkung auf die balkanische Volkskultur analysiert, Untersuchungen zu Ethnostereotypen finden sich neben Formen und Funktio nen der Wahlbruderschaft in ihrer langen Geschichte, die Rezeptionachsen popularer Lesestoffe werden großräumig nachgezeichnet; dazu treten Studien zur mittelalterlichen Legendenbildung in West und Ost, religiöse Verserzählungen zwischen Orthodoxie und Katholizismus, Märchentypen zwischen Mündlichkeit und Schriftlichkeit, Fragen der öffentlichen Inszenierung persönlicher Gefühle, Dämonologie und Schimpfgebärden, Formen der oralen Autobiographie, etymologische und semantische Fragen, die Vorstellung einzelner Großforschungsprojekte wie auch die ideologische Funktion der Beschäftigung mit der Volkskultur im 19. Jahrhundert. Die Mehrzahl dieser Studien ist komparativ angelegt, die Kapitel 15-24 beziehen sich spezifischer auf die griechische Tradition bzw. Griechenland, ohne daß aber die vergleichenden Perspektiven gänzlich fehlen würden. Ein Einleitungskapitel, das Schlußwort, die den Gesamtband betreffende Auswahlbibliographie und die umfassenden Register integrieren die Einzelkapitel in eine übergreifende einheitliche Perspektive, die Indices erlauben dahingegen auch einen handbuchartigen Gebrauch.

Abstract

Neopalatial Crete - the 'Golden Age' of the Minoan Civilization - possessed palaces, exquisite artefacts, and iconography with pre-eminent females. While lacking in fortifications, ritual symbolism cloaked the island, an elaborate bureaucracy logged transactions, and massive storage areas enabled the redistribution of goods. We cannot read the Linear A script, but the libation formulae suggest an island-wide koine. Within this cultural identity, there is considerable variation in how the Minoan elites organized themselves and others on an intra-site and regional basis. This book explores and celebrates this rich, diverse and dynamic culture through analyses of important sites, as well as Minoan administration, writing, economy and ritual. Key themes include the role of Knossos in wider Minoan culture and politics, the variable modes of centralization and power relations detectable across the island, and the role of ritual and cult in defining and articulating elite control.

Abstract

This volume documents the development of Cretan sanctuaries and associated cults from the end of the Late Bronze Age into the Archaic Period (c.1200–600 BC). The book supplies up-to-date site catalogues and discusses recurring types of sanctuaries, the history of their use and their religious and social functions, offering new insights into the period as a whole. Ancient Crete is known as an island whose religion displays a strong continuity with ‘Minoan’ traditions. The period of 1200–600 BC in general, however, is considered as one of profound socio-political and cultural change. This study explores the idea of ‘continuity’ by detailing the different processes and mechanisms involved in the maintenance of older cult traditions and provides balance by placing the observed changes in cult customs and the use of sanctuaries in the broader context of societal change.

Abstract

A persistent tradition existed in antiquity linking Caria with the island of Crete. This central theme of regional history is mirrored in the civic mythologies, cults and toponyms of southwestern Anatolia. This book explains why by approaching this diverse body of material with a broad chronological view, taking into account both the origins of this regional narrative and its endurance. It considers the mythologies in the light of archaeologically attested contacts during the Bronze Age, exploring whether such interaction could have left a residuum in later traditions. The continued relevance of this aspect of Carian history is then considered in the light of contacts during the Classical and Hellenistic periods, with analysis of how, and in which contexts, traditions survived. The Carians were an Anatolian people; however, their integration into the mythological framework of the Greek world reveals that interaction with the Aegean was a fundamental aspect of their history.

Abstract

This book presents an innovative approach to public archaeology in a rural community, which has had powerful results in terms of empowering a village community in Crete to become long-term guardians of their cultural heritage. Highlighting the theoretical and local contexts of the Philioremos Peak Sanctuary Public Archeology Project, this book explores the methodology and the project outcomes, and assesses best practice in the field of public archaeology within a rural community. As well as expanding the research on Minoan peak sanctuaries, the volume contributes to a greater understanding of how rural communities can be successfully engaged in the management of heritage, and is relevant to archaeologists and other heritage professionals wishing to understand the latest developments in public archaeology.
