Abstract

Während der Spätbronzezeit (ca. 1500-1200 v. Chr.) entwickelte sich in Vorderasien und dem Ostmittelmeerraum ein intensiver Guteraustausch, der vielfaltiger Natur war und zu einer ersten "Globalisierung" fuhrte. Er wurde massgeblich getragen von den Palasten der verschiedenen Grossreiche von Babylonien uber Agypten bis zum mykenischen Griechenland sowie deren Vasallen in der Levante und auf Zypern. Der grosste Teil Anatoliens wurde in dieser Zeit vom Hethitischen Reich beherrscht. In der vorliegenden Studie werden alle bekannten, aus dem Ostmittelmeerraum (Agais, Zypern, Agypten, Levante) und Mesopotamien stammenden Fremdguter behandelt, die in spatbronzezeitlichen Kontexten in Anatolien gefunden wurden. Es handelt sich dabei um Gegenstande aus unterschiedlichen Materialien, die sich verschiedenen Objektgruppen zuordnen lassen, u.a. Gefassen, Figurinen, Reliefs, Schmuck, Gewichten, Mobelteilen, Siegeln, Spielbrettern. Alle Objekte werden typologisiert und hinsichtlich ihrer zeitlichen Stellung und ihrer Herkunft eingeordnet. Weiterhin werden die Fundkontexte ausgewertet, um ihre funktionale Bedeutung bestimmen zu konnen. Anhand dieser Fremdguter lasst sich zeigen, welcher Art und Intensitat die Beziehungen Anatoliens zu den verschiedenen Nachbarregionen waren, wobei genau zwischen den verschiedenen Gebieten innerhalb Anatoliens differenziert werden muss. Auf diese Weise wird Anatolien erstmals grundlegend in die Diskussion um das Austauschnetz der spatbronzezeitlichen Welt einbezogen .

Abstract

"This Handbook aims to serve as a research guide to the archaeology of the Levant, an area situated at the crossroads of the ancient world that linked the eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. The Levant as used here is a historical geographical term referring to a large area which today comprises the modern states of Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, western Syria, and Cyprus, as well as the West Bank, Gaza, and the Sinai Peninsula. Unique in its treatment of the entire region, it offers a comprehensive overview and analysis of the current state of the archaeology of the Levant within its larger cultural, historical, and socio-economic contexts. The Handbook also attempts to bridge the modern scholarly and political divide between archaeologists working in this highly contested region"--Jacket.

Abstract

The orthodox view of slavery in the ancient Mediterranean holds that Greece and Rome were its only 'genuine slave societies', that is, societies in which slave labour contributed significantly to the economy and underpinned the wealth of elites. Other societies, traditionally labelled 'societies with slaves', are thought to have made little use of slave labour and therefore have been largely ignored in recent scholarship. This volume presents a radically differentview of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean world, showing that elite exploitation of slave labour in Greece and the Near East shared some fundamental similarities, although the degree of elite dependence on slaves varied from region to region. Whilst slavery was indeed particularly highly developed inGreece and Rome, it was also economically entrenched in Carthage, and played a not insignificant role in the affairs of elites in Israel, Assyria, Babylonia, and Persia. The differing degrees to which Eastern Mediterranean elites exploited slave labour represents the outcome of a complex interplay between cultural, economic, political, geographical, and demographic factors.Proceeding on a regional basis, this book tracks the ways in which local conditions shaped a wide variety of Greek and Near Eastern slave systems, and how the legal architecture of slavery in individual regions was altered and adapted to accommodate these needs. The result is a nuanced exploration of the economic underpinnings of Greek elite culture that sets its reliance on slavery within a broader historical context and sheds light on the complex circumstances from which itemerged.

Abstract

ll volume raccoglie 11 contributi che da diverse ottiche disciplinari e metodologiche affrontano il tema dell’uso che della scrittura è stato fatto in diverse società e diversi momenti del mondo antico – in particolare nel Mediterraneo orientale – dalla comparsa dei primi documenti cuneiformi, e del complesso problema del rapporto tra lingua, scrittura e immagini, alla diffusione degli alfabeti classici. Che la scrittura, nelle sue diverse manifestazioni, dalle monumentali iscrizioni ‘ufficiali’ alle sue più modeste espressioni quali i graffiti sia uno strumento privilegiato di informazione e conoscenza, è dato più che acquisito. Come si evince dal titolo il focus del volume è posto piuttosto sulla molteplicità dei piani di lettura riconoscibili in ogni tipo di testo considerato in relazione al supporto, e più in generale al contesto di produzione e di uso nelle sue numerose articolazioni, di strumento amministrativo, contabile, politico, propagandistico, la cui efficacia spesso va al di là della stessa comprensione immediata dei testi. Si propongono quindi riflessioni sul rapporto tra segni, lingue e immagini, tra scrittura lingua e identità, tra scrittura, lingua e controllo politico, come spunti per ulteriori riflessioni e approfondimenti. Le livre rassemble 11 contributions issues de différentes optiques méthodologiques et disciplinaires qui traitent de l'utilisation de l'écriture dans différentes sociétés et différentes époques du monde antique – en particulier de la Méditerranée orientale – de l'apparition des premiers documents cunéiformes et du problème complexe de la relation entre langue, écriture et images, à la diffusion des alphabets classiques. C’est un fait acquis que l’écriture, dans ses diverses manifestations, depuis les inscriptions « officielles » monumentales jusqu’à ses expressions plus modestes telles que les graffiti, est un instrument privilégié d’information et de connaissance. Comme le montre le titre, le livre met…

Abstract

L'ouvrage de M. Mallet comble une lacune: l'art roman en Anjou n'avait jamais fait l'objet d'une étude d'ensemble; la disparition de nombreux grands édifices semble avoir, jusqu'à présent, découragé les chercheurs. Des recherches longues et minutieuses ont permis à l'auteur de nous restituer ces grandes églises détruites. Les monuments subsistants, la priorale de Cunault, les abbatiales du Ronceray ou de Fontevrault sont étudiées dans leur cadre originel. Ce livre peut ainsi prétendre donner une idée complète de l'art religieux majeur dans le diocèse d'Angers à l'époque romane. Dans le souci d'être aussi exhaustif que possible, l'auteur analyse avec le même soin les églises rurales. Ces églises, petites ou moyennes, qui apportent dans nos campagnes leur part de beauté, sont le reflet des grandes œuvres et des options artistiques contemporaines. Elles témoignent souvent de recherches originales dans le jeu des volumes ou l'utilisation de la lumière. Au delà de leur valeur propre, elles servent donc à mieux comprendre les monuments disparus. Cet ouvrage s'efforce enfin de replacer les édifices locaux dans l'art de leur époque où tradition carolingienne et forte inspiration rénovatrice se côtoient. La sculpture se caractérise par une lisibilité qui va, pour la scuplture figurée, jusqu'à la violenceexpressionniste. Les portes de la salle capitulaire et du réfectoire de Saint-Aubin d'Angers, la grande arcadeoccidentale de Saint-Florent de Saumur, bien d'autres œuvres de qualité témoignent de la réussite de cet art. C'est donc à la découverte d'une architecture et d'une sculpture en bonne partie ignorée que nous convie M. Mallet. Les 320 photos, prises spécialement sur les indications de l'auteur s'adaptent étroitement au texte et rendent sensible l'originale beauté des partis pris architecturaux. Les 90 plans à la même échelle suggèrent de fructueuses comparaisons. Le simple curieux comme le spécialiste trouveront dans ce livre instruction et plaisir.

Abstract

Over the last forty years the world has witnessed the emergence and proliferation of a new political phenomenon - unarmed revolution. On virtually every continent, citizens have ousted their authoritarian leaders by employing nonviolent tactics such as strikes, demonstrations, boycotts, and civil disobedience against them. At the same time however, similar movements elsewhere have been brutally crushed by autocrats determined to cling to power. In this book, Daniel Ritter seeks to understand unarmed revolutions by posing two interrelated questions: Why do nonviolent revolutionary movements in
