Abstract

This volume of collected essays brings together for the first time the range of Winter’s pioneering studies related to Neo-Assyrian relief sculpture and seals, Phoenician and Syrian ivory and bronze production, and inter-polity connections across the various cultures of first millennium B.C.E. from the Aegean to Iran. Consistent threads are an emphasis on the potential for art historical analysis to yield ‘history’ in the broadest sense; the importance of making the theoretical frame of interpretation explicit; and the necessity of textual evidence being brought to bear upon elements of formal analysis and archaeological context. "These beautifully produced volumes bring together essays written over a 35-year period, creating a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts...No library should be without this impressive collection." J.C. Exum

Abstract

This second volume of collected essays, complement to volume one, focuses upon the art and culture of the third millennium B.C.E. in ancient Mesopotamia. Stress is upon the ability of free-standing sculpture and public monuments not only to reflect cultural attitudes, but to affect a viewing audience. Using Sumerian and Akkadian texts as well as works, the power of visual experience is pursued toward an understanding not only of the monuments but of their times and our own. 'These beautifully produced volumes bring together essays written over a 35-year period, creating a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts...No library should be without this impressive collection.' J.C. Exum

Abstract

Through her published works and in the classroom, Irene J. Winter has served as a mentor for the latest generation of scholars of Mesopotamian visual culture. The various contributions to this volume in her honor represent a cross section of the state of scholarship today. Topics by the twenty authors include palatial and temple architecture, royal sculpture, gender in the ancient Near East, and interdisciplinary studies that range from the fourth millennium BCE to modern ethnography and cover Sumer, Assyria, Babylonia, Iran, Syria, Urartu, and the Levant. Reflections on Winter’s scholarship and teaching accompany her bibliography. The volume will be useful for scholars who are curious about how visual culture is being used to study the ancient Near East.

Abstract

Les banquets civiques grecs participent au fonctionnement politique de la cité classique, communauté de citoyens-banqueteurs. Ce lien entre nourriture et politique, entre alimentation et pouvoir, on le retrouve dans l'ensemble des espaces méditerranéens et proche-orientaux de l'Antiquité, jouant un rôle majeur dans la construction des légitimités. Intervenant aussi dans l'exercice du pouvoir royal, le banquet est un instrument fédérateur, vis-à-vis des sujets, des amis et des alliés. Les banquets des mondes proche-orientaux, grecs, celtes, étrusques et romains sont au cœur de ce livre, non seulement ceux des monarchies, mais aussi ceux des aristocraties, sans oublier les festins des tyrans et les tables impériales, des Perses aux Romains. Manières de table et figures de la commensalité, choix des mets et cadre des festins, tryphè royale et circulation des surplus, sont présentés dans un dialogue entre les espaces, en soulignant les héritages et les ruptures.
