Abstract

In this important new book the renowned historian Serge Gruzinski returns to two episodes in the sixteenth century which mark a decisive stage in global history and show how China and Mexico experienced the expansion of Europe. In the early 1520s, Magellan set sail for Asia by the Western route, Cortes seized Mexico and some Portuguese based in Malacca dreamed of colonizing China. The Aztec Eagle was destroyed but the Chinese Dragon held strong and repelled the invaders - after first seizing their cannon. For the first time, people from three continents encountered one other, confronted one other and their lives became entangled. These events were of great interest to contemporaries and many people at the time grasped the magnitude of what was going on around them. The Iberians succeeded in America and failed in China. The New World became inseparable from the Europeans who were to conquer it, while the Celestial Empire became, for a long time to come, an unattainable goal. Gruzinski explores this encounter between civilizations that were different from one another but that already fascinated contemporaries, and he shows that our world today bears the mark of this distant age. For it was in the sixteenth century that human history began to be played out on a global stage. It was then that connections between different parts of the world began to accelerate, not only between Europe and the Americas but also between Europe and China. This is what is revealed by a global history of the sixteenth century, conceived as another way of reading the Renaissance, less Eurocentric and more in tune with our age.--

Abstract

Silvio Vietta stellt erstmals die europäische Literatur von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart in die Zusammenhänge einer Funktionsgeschichte, die quer zur Epochen- und Gattungsgeschichte sowie zu den Nationalphilologien liegt. Sie präsentiert die europäische Literatur in ihren epochal- wie gattungstypisch gebrochenen Funktionen als Einheit.Die Kulturrevolution der Rationalität eröffnet der Literatur innerhalb der europäischen Kulturgeschichte in der Antike neue Spielräume. Mit der Erfindung von Philosophie und Wissenschaft tritt die Literatur in ein postmythisches Zeitalter der Aufklärung ein - in kritischer Opposition zu den Einseitigkeiten der Rationalitätskultur. Kritisch spiegelt sie seit dem antiken Drama die Gender-Zuschreibungen des ›logoshaft‹-Männlichen gegenüber dem ›irrational‹-Weiblichen. Die europäische Poetik und Ästhetik definiert Literatur als bevorzugtes Ausdrucksmedium der von der Rationalität abgewerteten Emotionalität, Sinnlichkeit und Fantasie. Vor allem seit dem Spätmittelalter prägt auch die visionär-utopische Funktion jüdisch-christlicher Abkunft die große europäische Dichtung. Der moderne Roman schließt an die kritische Aufklärungsfunktion des antiken Dramas im nun bürgerlichen Zeitalter an. Reflexive Funktionen übernehmen seit Barock und Aufklärung vor allem philosophisch-literarische und auch sprachreflexive Texte.

Abstract

In July, 2009, the International Association for Assyriology met in Paris, France, for 5 days to deliver and listen to papers on the theme “La famille dans le Proche-Orient.” This volume, the proceedings of the conference, contains 53 of the papers read at the 55th annual Rencontre, including primarily papers directly connected with the theme and some on areas of related interest. The papers covered every period of Mesopotamian history, from the third millennium through the end of the first millennium B.C.E. The photo on the back cover shows only a representative portion of the attendees, who were warmly hosted by faculty and students from the Collège de France.

Abstract

In this classic study of the relationship between technology and culture, Miles Orvell demonstrates that the roots of contemporary popular culture reach back to the Victorian era, when mechanical replications of familiar objects reigned supreme and realism dominated artistic representation. Reacting against this genteel culture of imitation, a number of artists and intellectuals at the turn of the century were inspired by the machine to create more authentic works of art that were themselves ""real things."" The resulting tension between a culture of imitation and a culture of authenticity, a
