Cet ouvrage collectif regroupe sept contributions présentées lors d'une journée de réflexion organisée le 11 janvier 2013 par le Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches sur l'Antiquité classique (CERAC) et consacrée aux œuvres des auteurs latins d'Afrique, parmi lesquelles Les métamorphoses ou l'Ane d'or d'Apulée, qui ont été soumises à une lecture narratologique. Ainsi, le lecteur y trouvera des écrits organisés autour de deux noyaux : récit et espace. Le je narrant sert de point de départ pour une recherche de l'esthétique romanesque de la textualité apuléenne. La préoccupation sur l'identité narrative du héros-narrateur est suivie de deux études portant sur le récit de brigands et le conte de Psyché. Les deux font partie du racontable, lequel s'organise sous la barbe du narrateur qui, dans l'histoire première, fait des pauses narratives afin de laisser libre cours à la description non seulement de l'espace traversé par Lucius mais également l'espace global où se déroulent toutes les mésaventures du même Lucius.

The late Byzantine period (thirteenth to fifteenth centuries) was marked by both cultural fecundity and political fragmentation, resulting in an astonishingly multifaceted literary output. This book addresses the poetry of the empire's final quarter-millennium from a broad perspective, bringing together studies on texts originating in places from Crete to Constantinople and from court to school, treating topics from humanist antiquarianism to pious self-help, and written in styles from the vernacular to Homeric language. It thus offers a reference work to a much-neglected but rich textual material that is as varied as it was potent in the sociocultural contexts of its times. Contributors are Theodora Antonopoulou, Marina Bazzani, Julián Bértola, Martin Hinterberger, Krystina Kubina, Marc D. Lauxtermann, Florin Leonte, Ugo Mondini, Brendan Osswald, Giulia M. Paoletti, Cosimo Paravano, Daniil Pleshak, Alberto Ravani, and Federica Scognamiglio.

Dieser Band dokumentiert die Tagung „Zur Kritik der exegetischen Vernunft“, die anlässlich des 65. Geburtstages von Prof. Dr. Jürgen van Oorschot im Mai 2022 in Erlangen stattfand. Der Band beschäftigt sich mit der methodischen Vielfalt im Kontext alttestamentlicher Wissenschaft. Der erste Teil behandelt die Methodik der Exegese selbst und kommt zu dem Schluss, dass Exegese in den 2020er Jahren theologisch, radikal historisch und damit radikal kanonisch sein muss. Der zweite Teil des Bandes nimmt die grundlegende Bedeutung von Geschichte und Mythos im alttestamentlichen Schrifttum in den Blick, um an drei Beispielen den vernünftigen Umgang mit beiden in (religions-)philosophischen Debatten zu demonstrieren. Mit vier Beispielen eines materialen oder methodischen Cross-Overs zeigt der dritte Teil auf, wie sinnvoll mit der Herausforderung des methodisch kontrollierten Anachronismus und methodischer Hybridität umgegangen werden kann. Der Band schließt mit dem Entwurf einer hermeneutischen Praxistheorie, die Exegese als durchsichtiges und offenes Spiel praktiziert.

The articles in Myths of Origins provide insights into the universality of myths of origins as patterns of literary creation from Antiquity to the present. The essays range from an investigation of the six models of beginnings in Western literature to the workings of modern myths of origins in postcolonial literature and relocate the discussion on myths of origin in a wider context that besides the humanities considers linguistics and the impact of new technologies. The contributing authors to the volume shed light on issues relating to myths of origins by linking this subject to literary creation and adopting a multidisciplinary approach.

The fifteenth volume in the Lessons & Legacies series, featuring multidisciplinary research in the Holocaust and Jewish cultural history on the theme of Global Perspectives and National Narratives. The fourteen chapters included in this volume manifest three broad categories: history, literature, and memory. These chapters continue the recent trend in Holocaust Studies of a focus on local history, integrating specific regional and national narratives into a more global approach to the event. Newer studies have continued to incorporate what was once termed the periphery into a more global examination of the experiences of Jewish refugees in flight to Latin America, Africa, and the Soviet Union. At the same time, very specific local studies deepen our knowledge of the mechanics of genocide, along with the experiences of refugees in flight, and the subsequent dimensions of Holocaust memory and representation. New research on Holocaust literature continues to unearth unexamined texts from the period of the war itself, which can shed light on Jewish responses to persecution and strategies for survival. The study of Holocaust testimonies continues to grapple with the challenge of language: how to convey through the limits of human language the depths of barbarity to an audience that could never fully understand what they had not personally experienced. Likewise, literary studies continue to incorporate texts that were once considered outside the standard canon of Holocaust literature, such as science fiction and children's literature. The tension between local and global perspectives can also be seen quite clearly in what the volume's editors understand by the term “memory studies,” or new approaches to research on museums and memorials. The very specific nature of collective memory on the national level continues to be the site of the contested “politics of memory.” A number of the chapters in this volume engage with the conflict of monuments and memorials, museums'attempts to resolve provenance issues, questions around the ethics of Holocaust tourism, and the inclusion of new technologies and digital survivors into the memorial landscape.

Despite Aristotle's family background and his undeniable impact on ancient Greek medicine, the influence of medicine on Aristotle's philosophy is controversial and far from universally acknowledged. The aim of this volume is to re-examine the influence of medical knowledge and literature on Aristotle's work, in particular to explore the connections with the Hippocratic writings. The volume encourages further exploration of this interdisciplinary area and offers new insights by presenting a series of case studies that examine in detail specific debates within the Aristotelian corpus in relation to the medical literature.

Every third year, the members of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) assemble for a week-long conference. Over the years, this event has evolved into the largest single conference in the field of Neo-Latin studies. The papers presented at these conferences offer, then, a general overview of the current status of Neo-Latin research; its current trends, popular topics, and methodologies. In 2022, the members of IANLS gathered for a conference in Leuven where 50 years ago the first of these congresses took place.This volume presents the conference's papers which were submitted after the event and which have undergone a peer-review process. The papers deal with a broad range of fields, including literature, history, philology, and religious studies.

Staatsrepräsentation bedient sich häufig musikalischer Elemente. Der Band thematisiert diese spezifische Koppelung von Musik und Politik mit besonderem Akzent auf dem Aufführungscharakter staatlicher Veranstaltungen. Musik stiftet mehrfach Sinn: durch ihre Präsenz in der Performanz und durch ein historisch gewachsenes, politisch konnotiertes Repertoire. Während Letzteres bereits politologische und musikologische Forschungstraditionen begründet hat, ist das Performative bislang eher rudimentär beleuchtet worden. Der Band schließt diese Lücke, indem er den Staat als musikalischen Akteur ins Zentrum rückt. Theoretische Ansätze treten neben interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Perspektiven, ergänzt durch Erfahrungsberichte von Entscheidungsträger•innen aus Politik und Verwaltung, u. a. dem Diplomatischen Dienst. Die wissenschaftliche Kommentierung dieser Darstellungen von Zeitzeug•innen eröffnet weitere Forschungsfelder. The representation of a state is often combined with musical elements. This book explores the specific relationship between music and politics. A special focus reveals some performance character within state ceremonies and events, and the significance of music in creating meaning through its presence by performances and its politically charged repertoire. While previous musicological and politological research has focused on that, this volume seeks to fill a current gap by examining the performative nature of music in state events. Theoretical approaches are combined with interdisciplinary perspectives, including inside perspectives of decision-makers in politics, administration, and the diplomatic service. Scholarly commentary on these eyewitness'memories opens up further areas of research.

Embarqués à bord des sondes spatiales Voyager, des disques plaqués or contenant des images et des sons censés représenter la diversité terrestre étaient lancés dans l'espace en 1977 : 90 minutes de musique, dont des oeuvres de Bach, Beethoven, Chuck Berry, Louis Amstrong, Mozart, ou encore des chants de bergers bulgares ou de jeunes filles pygmées, dérivent ainsi depuis dans l'espace intersidéral. On imagine alors la surprise de civilisations extra-terrestres découvrant ces objets déroutants et déjà... obsolètes. Car musique rime, quarante plus tard, avec streaming, Youtube, sodcasting, MP3, Justin Bieber et Hatsune Miku. Entre dispositifs et dispositions, changements socio-techniques et normes instituées, l'écoute musicale se reconfigure en permanence. Et avec le passage de la discomorphose à la numérimorphose, ce sont peut-être nos manières de découvrir, de classer, de partager la musique qui se sont transformées radicalement : dans ce monde d'abondance, les algorithmes de la recommandation, les casques et les logiciels de stream ripping, les smartphones et les fichiers compressés ont pris le pas sur les CD, la presse rock spécialisée, le disquaire du coin et le son HiFi. Existe-t-il un fil conducteur, un principe téléologique, qui permette de penser l'histoire de nos oreilles? Comment décrire nos nouvelles habitudes d'écoute en régime numérique? Les innovations technologiques nous laissent-elles entrevoir ce que pourraient être nos prochaines expériences de la musique? En réunissant universitaires et professionnels du secteur, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, cet ouvrage propose d'apporter des réponses à une question en apparence très simple : où va la musique?

The present publication constitutes the Proceedings of Session 7 of the ‘Creation of landscapes VI'workshop, hosted by the CAU Kiel in 2019. The session was entitled ‘Mediterranean Connections – how the sea links people and transforms identities'. With our focus on the linkage of people, this volume can be understood as a contribution to recent network research. But network research, especially when employed in the humanities, is often looked at with scepticism, not to say mistrust: Isn't this just a game with numbers? Does it really relate to the type of data we are used to in our research, to poems, sherds or seal impressions? Can it say anything at all about… life? In fact, the various articles of this volume are not restricted to the strict technical approach of classical network research. Our session on Mediterranean networks started from the idea that for the inhabitants of this relatively integrated region, the sea evidently influenced their lives and their thinking in a significant way. In fact, it was the sea that provided the medium for such integration on various levels. The substantial body of data produced by long-standing research in diverse disciplines makes it possible to chart the emergence of ancient perceptions of distance and movement, connectivity and identities. This approach allows us to observe ancient awareness of the role of the sea in these processes. It also allows us to connect across academic boundaries and build a network of disciplines for a much more cohesive picture of past life.

This volume explores the indispensability of a transnational perspective for the construction and writing of literary histories of the Low Countries from 1200- 1800. It looks at the role of mediators such as translators, printers, and editors, at characteristics of literary genres and the possibilities they offered for literary boundary crossing and adaptation, and at the role of regions and urban centers as multilingual hubs. This collection demonstrates the centrality of transnational perspectives for elucidating the complex inter-relationship between Netherlandic and European literary history. The Low Countries were a dynamic site for new literary production and transnational exchange that shaped and reshaped the intellectual landscape of premodern Europe. Contributors include: Lia van Gemert, Lucas van der Deijl, Feike Dietz, Paul Wackers, David Napolitano, James A. Parente, Jr., Frank Willaert, Youri Desplenter, Bart Besamusca, Frans R.E. Blom, and Jan Bloemendal.

The Silvae by Statius dethroned Virgil from the Studio in Naples, fostered the creation of a new genre, offered a model for court poetry, and seduced the most prestigious Humanists in the most vibrant centres of Renaissance Italy and the Netherlands. The collection preserves magnificent buildings otherwise lost; speaks of stones otherwise unknown; and memorializes people, rituals, and social relationships that would have passed into oblivion in silence. This volume offers a fresh look into approaches to the Silvae by editors and commentators, both at the time of the rediscovery of the poems and today.

Sheldon Pollock's work on the history of literary cultures in the ‘Sanskrit Cosmopolis'broke new ground in the theorization of historical processes of vernacularization and served as a wake-up call for comparative approaches to such processes in other translocal cultural formations. But are his characterizations of vernacularization in the Sinographic Sphere accurate, and do his ideas and framework allow us to speak of a ‘Sinographic Cosmopolis'? How do the special typology of sinographic writing and associated technologies of vernacular reading complicate comparisons between the Sankrit and Latinate cosmopoleis? Such are the questions tackled in this volume. Contributors are Daehoe Ahn, Yufen Chang, Wiebke Denecke, Torquil Duthie, Marion Eggert, Greg Evon, Hoduk Hwang, John Jorgensen, Ross King, David Lurie, Alexey Lushchenko, Si Nae Park, John Phan, Mareshi Saito, and S. William Wells.

What makes the relationship between Switzerland and the EU so challenging? For both parties, mutual relations are of crucial importance, not least economically. As a result of the Swiss voters'rejection of the European Economic Area 30 years ago, there is at present a large number of agreements that provide for Switzerland's partial participation in the EU's internal market as well as other matters. At the same time, there has now for more than a decade been an increasing degree of institutional and legal uncertainty. The present volume offers an inventory of different sides of this special relationship, which is interesting also in a comparative context.

Essays exploring and problematizing the idea of an'exceptional'England within Western Europe during the long thirteenth century. The theme of this volume,'Exceptional England', follows on from that of the previous one,'England in Europe'. Both respond to two long-term historiographical trends among British medievalists: to place England and Britain in a wider European context, and, conversely, to emphasise the differences between developments in England and those elsewhere, either explicitly or implicitly. The essays here, in tackling aspects of political, religious, cultural and urban history, are often concerned with shifts that transcend the'national'because they are driven by forces operating on a European, or at least a western European, scale. A number bring developments in England into conversation with those in other regions, turning not only to France, a traditional comparator, but also ranging further, using Poland, Italy, Spain and Hungary as points of comparison. Others problematise England's boundaries by considering the fates of people caught between worlds as English continental possessions shrank. If England emerges in these essays as rather less'exceptional', some of the contributions highlight its unusually rich sources, suggesting ways in which these riches might illuminate the history of Europe in the long thirteenth century more generally. Particular subjects addressed include the fortunes of the knightly class, the dynamics of episcopal election, and models of child kingship, along with new studies of Gerald of Wales and Simon de Montfort.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the mathematics and physics behind the simulation of turbulent flows and discusses in detail (i) the phenomenology of turbulence in fluid dynamics, (ii) the role of direct and large-eddy simulation in predicting these dynamics, (iii) the multiple considerations underpinning subgrid modelling, and, (iv) the issue of validation and reliability resulting from interacting modelling and numerical errors.

This book spins around the convening idea of variability to offer fourteen new views into the Pyramid and Coffin Texts and related materials that overarch archaeology, philology, linguistics, writing studies, religious studies and social history by applying innovative approaches such as agency, politeness, material philology and object-based studies, and under a strong empirical focus. In this book, you will find from a previously unpublished coffin or a reinterpretation of the so-called ‘Letters to the Dead'to graffiti's interaction with monumental inscriptions, ‘subatomic'studies in the spellings of the Osiris'name or the puzzles of text transmission, among other novel topics.

This volume is the fruit of a'theological laboratory'initiated by the then-Centre for Child Protection and the Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church (CTEWC) called'Doing Theology in the Face of Sexual Abuse.'Eventually those from the laboratory engaged those meeting for two years via'virtual tables,'due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the end, twenty-six scholars offer insights on the crisis itself and pathways for moving forward. There is a certain urgency about this volume, which is not often reflected in works of theology or theological ethics. The sheer scale of the undermining of human dignity through sexual abuse that has occurred within the church asks questions of these disciplines and scholars within them: To what extent have we been blind to these issues? Why have our efforts in theology and theological ethics been so slow to wrestle with this crisis? How are theology and theological ethics implicated in the crisis? And how might the disciplines be constructive in responding? In this volume, we encounter a diverse range of scholars from all around the world wrestling with these and other questions.

Friendship (philia) is a complex and multi-faceted concept that is frequently attested in ancient Greek literature and thought. It is also an important social phenomenon and an institution that features in classical Greek social, cultural, and intellectual history. This collected volume seeks to complement the extensive modern scholarship on this topic by shedding light on complementary representations, nuances and tensions of friendship in a range of different sources, literary, epigraphic, and visual. It offers a broad overview of the contours of this important social phenomenon and helps the reader get a glimpse of its depth and richness.

Why do we collect? Where does the urge to collect come from? This book explores the phenomenon of collecting in various contexts. Collecting is an illustration of a strong human-thing entanglement. It can be caused by psychological incentives that are deeply rooted in human doubts and anxieties. It is also related to building a pleasant, unthreatening, and even paradisical, environment to compensate for the uncertainties of everyday life. The chapters in this book range from psychological perspectives in the Habsburg empire to Rococo collecting in France, from a fanatic English book collector to a 16th/17th century encyclopaedic Dutch collector. And finally the fascinating story of Baron Edmond de Rothschild's boxes. The contributions to this book were first presented as papers at the seminar'The Psychology of Collecting'in April 2022, organised by the Interdisciplinary Research Group “Museums, Collections and Society” of Leiden University, Netherlands.

Safaris, baobabs, tam-tam, artisanat d'art, exploitation des ressources naturelles, fièvres hémorragiques, sous-développement, corruption, nouvelles technologies, indépendances, créativité…, les images véhiculées sur l'Afrique sont foisonnantes et relèvent de registres aussi clivés, imaginés, élaborés par des regards extérieurs au continent que remaniés par ses habitants, ignorés ou combattus par les producteurs d'images issus de l'Afrique et de ses diasporas.Cet ouvrage propose une réflexion sur les multiples tensions contenues dans les images lorsqu'elles sont produites sur l'Afrique et en Afrique. Grâce à une approche inter-transdisciplinaire empruntée par des chercheurs en sciences sociales et en arts, sont révélées les complexités de la construction de ces images aux frontières de l'intime, de l'art et du politique. Il y a matière à penser l'image en tant que réceptacle productif des histoires nationales et ethniques au cœur des projections individuelles de soi et des autres afin de progresser dans la compréhension des soubassements du vivre-ensemble dans les sociétés africaines contemporaines.

Zeitliche und regionale Entwicklungen ebenso wie offensichtliche Präferenzen von antiken Verfassern und Auftraggebern prägen die enorme Vielfalt der Carmina Latina Epigraphica. In der römischen Republik und Kaiserzeit dominieren Grabinschriften in Versmaß, seit der Spätantike werden offensichtlich auch andere Textgruppen zunehmend attraktiver. In Republik und Spätantike waren solche eingeschriebenen Gedichte mit oder ohne Prosa-Rahmung eher ein Elitenphänomen, wohingegen die Epigramme in der Kaiserzeit eine populäre Textgruppe für breite Bevölkerungsschichten waren. Im Band werden verschiedene Aspekte von Text-Entwicklungen durch die Jahrhunderte ebenso untersucht wie regionale Veränderungen und Wechselwirkungen von Texten und ihren Objektträgern. Oft genug lassen sich aber einzelne dieser Gedichte der Einordnung in vermeintlich regionale und zeitlich vorherrschende ‚epigraphic habits‘ nicht einordnen. Auch für solch singuläre, sehr individuell gestaltete Inschriften werden mögliche Kontextualisierung aufgezeigt, vor allem durch Verbindungen zu anderen Textgattungen und Traditionen. Mit diesem Band wird daher das die Editionen und Analysen zumeist dominierende regionale Prinzip für die Carmina Latina Epigraphica auf die Probe gestellt.

This book is a collection of the ICAME41 conference proceedings covering a range of topics in corpus linguistics. Busse et al. Explore contemporary trends and new directions in the field. Papers focusing on historical linguistics include Bohmann et al's study on the passive alternation in 19th and 20th century American English whilst Iyeiri and Fukunaga investigate negation in 19th century American missionary documents. Bohmann's emphasis is on the Contrastive usage profiling method to represent online discourse data. Empirical studies on discourse analysis include Brooks‘ analysis of how the UK press portrays obesity, Coats generating ASR transcripts to look at dialect data from YouTube, and Gonzalez-Cruz's pragmatic considerations of Anglicisms entering Canarian-Spanish digital headlines. Schneider use statistical models to look at language comprehension in an eye-tracking corpus.

El presente volumen recoge trabajos de hispanistas de diferentes procedencias: desde investigadores cuya lengua materna es el español y llevan a cabo su tarea en el mundo hispánico, ya sea peninsular o americano, hasta quienes trabajan en regiones donde el español es un idioma minoritario y/o que han adquirido el español como segunda lengua. Esta gozosa diversidad halla su expresión en los trabajos que integran este volumen, poniendo de manifiesto uno de los objetivos centrales de la AIH: el diálogo académico y plural entre los hispanismos del mundo, diálogo enriquecedor y vivificante que no conoce fronteras. El hacerlo por primera vez fuera de Europa y América cobra una significación muy especial, al insertar esta multiplicidad de perspectivas en el diálogo presente y tan necesario entre nuestros pueblos y regiones.El libro impreso incluye exclusivamente los discursos de apertura y las ponencias plenarias, que estuvieron a cargo de Myrna Solotorevsky, Patrizia Botta, Angela Schrott, Juan Diego Vila, Manuel Rivero Rodríguez y James Valender. Las demás ponencias se encuentran en acceso abierto en el siguienteenlace.

Les études réunies dans ce volume explorent la question de l'autorité de l'écriture spirituelle féminine au XVIe siècle en France. L'enjeu est de comprendre l'émergence spectaculaire du discours religieux écrit par des femmes en langue française à cette période. En s'appuyant sur les textes littéraires, les discours polémiques et les mémoires, les autrices et auteurs évaluent sur l'espace d'un siècle élargi les contradictions, les difficultés et les soutiens que rencontrent les initiatives féminines chrétiennes. Ils abordent notamment les sources de l'innutrition chrétienne, la question des modèles, la circulation et la réception de ces écrits, les foyers de l'autorité féminine et les marques textuelles de cette autorité, pour ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives sur l'écriture spirituelle féminine au début de l'époque moderne. This book provides new perspectives on the question of the authority of female spiritual writing in sixteenth-century France. This topic is crucial for understanding the emergence of religious discourse written by women in French language during this period. Drawing on literary texts, polemical discourses, and memoirs, the essays by leading scholars explore the contradictions, difficulties, and support on the part of men for Christian women's initiatives over the course of an extended century. In particular, they address the sources of Christian thought about women, the question of models, the circulation and reception of Renaissance feminine writings, and the textual marks of this authority in order to open up new perspectives on feminine spiritual writing in the early modern era.

Las escrituras del presente son precarias porque así lo es el tiempo que las alumbra, complejo e inestable. Bajo la pretensión de radiografiar las principales tendencias de la literatura hispánica contemporánea, el presente volumen reúne trece trabajos que atienden específicamente a sus elementos formales. Así, tras un prólogo en el que Francisca Noguerol desgrana las claves de lectura de los textos que se sitúan en la tradición rupturista de la vanguardia apostando por la complejidad y el compromiso ético, se suceden un'Panorama'y cuatro secciones dedicadas a las'Di(soluciones)'o poéticas radicales, a las'Escrituras expandidas'hacia otros códigos o soportes, a las'Ficciones y fakeciones'que cuestionan los contornos de la realidad y a las'Distopías'tan propias de nuestra época.

L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de soumettre à l'examen les modèles théoriques de la linguistique. Il s'intéresse à la modélisation dans ses divers états, qu'il s'agisse d'une théorisation implicite non mise en question ou d'une théorisation en construction –cette dernière pouvant prendre la forme d'une activité épilinguistique ou d'une pensée métalinguistique élaborée et explicite qui se confronte à des faits de langue– ou encore de cadres théoriques soumis à la discussion et à la comparaison. Les analyses abordent différents domaines de la linguistique, à savoir la phonologie, la syntaxe et la sémantique. The purpose of this book is to examine and assess the theoretical models used in linguistics. It deals with the construction of theoretical models, with the questions of implicit and unchallenged theorization, theorization ‘in the making'–either in the form of epilinguistic activity or as explicit elaborated metalinguistic thought trying to cope with actual linguistic facts– or the discussion and comparison of theoretical frameworks. The analyses address various fields of linguistics, namely phonology, syntax and semantics.

Der Bankrechtstag 2019 hatte u.a. den „Kollektiven Rechtsschutz im Bank- und Kapitalmarktrecht', den „Verbraucherschutz durch Widerrufsrechte', sowie „Aktuelle Reformen im europäischen Bankaufsichtsrecht'zum Gegenstand und widmete sich dem Thema „Elektronische Schuldverschreibung: auf dem Weg zum digitalen Wertpapier'unter der Leitung von Rechtsanwalt Klaus Rotter, München und Prof. Dr. Dr. Klaus J. Hopt, Hamburg.

Molti sono gli studi dedicati alla Roma papale e alla Spagna nel Cinquecento, incentrati su una prospettiva politica e rivolti soprattutto a questioni storico-artistiche; viceversa episodiche e alquanto disgiunte sono le ricerche che hanno considerato l'impatto dell'eredità classica sul contesto culturale, ufficiale e non. In questo volume studiosi di storia dell'archeologia e storici dell'arte rinascimentale fanno dialogare i risultati delle loro ricerche secondo diversi approcci, evidenziando come la tradizione di stampo antico o anticheggiante contribuí a rendere Roma uno dei grandi interlocutori del Rinascimento spagnolo. Il paradigma dell'antichità classica si affermò nell'ideologia politica di Carlo V e Filippo II, che proiettarono l'imago imperio nelle forme di rappresentazione della propria strategia comunicativa. Entro tale sistema si configurò il profilo collezionistico della monarchia spagnola indirizzandosi verso la ritrattistica antica, aspetto tematico che si prestava a legittimare un'ideale continuità con gli Imperatori romani e a celebrare virtutes politiche e belliche. Le antichità vincolarono e rinsaldarono strategie e legami politici; variazioni e citazioni di nobilia opera si diffusero alla corte e nei giardini nobiliari di Spagna; ambasciatori, dignitari, ecclesiastici entrarono nel circuito del mercato antiquario romano. Nell'Urbe il circolo erudito ispanico si caratterizzò per un fermento di interessi pienamente integrato nel vivace dibattito originatosi su importanti aspetti delle Antiquitates romane, giungendo alla realizzazione di opere esemplari (quali i Diálogos de medallas, inscripciones y otras antigüedades e lo Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae) o alla raccolta di corpora iconografici di grande valore e miniera di informazioni sul mondo collezionistico romano (quali i manoscritti di Alonso Chacón). Nel processo di restituzione e trasmissione di edifici e oggetti antichi attraverso il disegno, il Codex Escurialensis, trasferito da Roma a Madrid a principio del XVI secolo, occupò una posizione preferenziale, diffondendo iconografie antiche in committenze di diverso genere. Rimasto finora a margine, apre un inedito spaccato sulla pratica dei repertori iconografici un Codice di carattere numismatico, pervenuto anch'esso nella Biblioteca di San Lorenzo dell'Escorial, che si intreccia con gli studi di Andrea Fulvio, Enea Vico e Jacopo Strada. Attraverso personaggi, idee e materiali viene così ripercorso il fecondo interscambio culturale avvenuto nel solco della tradizione classica, recuperando il nesso dialogico che intercorse con il patrimonio archeologico e antiquario trasmigrato dall'Urbe verso questa parte d'Europa.

This volume combines the papers held at the Minerva Center's'Research on Israel and Aram in Biblical Times'conference (Leipzig 2018) on the subject of writing and re-writing history by deliberate destruction in the regions of Syria, Palestine, and Mesopotamia. An international group of scholars studies the subject using a multi-perspective and interdisciplinary approach. Archeological studies, ancient Near Eastern studies, and biblical studies focused on the destruction of ancient sites in Israel and Judah in the 1st millennium BC. The perspective of the defeated Israelites, Jerusalemites, and Judeans is described in detail in the Old Testament and in postbiblical literature and shows that the destructions in the past were a cultural and identity creator of the first magnitude. The longue durée of the practice of reshaping the past through the deliberate destruction of a cultural heritage in order to shape the present according to current interests becomes evident based on the Neo-Assyrian Empire's practice up to the modern era and is demonstrated by the example of the Arabian-Muslim conquest of Aram as well as current Turkish politics.

This book provides critical perspectives on issues relating to writing norms and assessment, as well as writing proficiency development, and suggests that scholars need to both carefully examine testing regimes and develop research-informed perspectives on tests and testing practices. In this way schools, institutions of adult education and universities can better prepare learners with differing cultural experiences to meet the challenges. The book brings together empirical studies from diverse geographical contexts to address the crossing of literacy borders, with a focus on academic genres and practices. Most of the studies examine writing in countries where the norms and expectations are different, but some focus on writing in a new discourse community set in a new discipline. The chapters shed light on commonalities and differences between these two situations with respect to the expectations and evaluations facing the writers. They also consider the extent to which the norms that the writers bring with them from their educational backgrounds and own cultures are compromised in order to succeed in the new educational settings.

Dieser Band dokumentiert Beiträge der Asiatischen Germanistentagung in Seoul (2016). Sie behandeln die grundlegendsten und drängendsten Fragen der Kultur- und Geisteswissenschaften aus germanistischer Perspektive: Der rasante technologische, wirtschaftliche, gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Wandel erzeugt neue Erscheinungsformen des Weltlichen. Damit einher gehen veränderte Befindlichkeiten des Gegenwartsmenschen, auf die auch die Germanistik reagiert. Die einzelnen Beiträge des Bandes umspannen das gesamte Spektrum der Germanistik und reflektieren grundlegende humanwissenschaftliche Begriffe von Zeit, Raum und Mensch und versuchen diese neu zu erfassen. Ebenso thematisiert werden sich wandelnde Formen und Praktiken des Ästhetischen, der Kognition und der Kommunikation. Viele Themen aktueller Diskurse werden dabei aufgegriffen: Verhältnis von Tier, Mensch und Maschine, Globalisierung und Flüchtlingsmigration, soziale Spaltung, Gender, Digitalisierung, Neue Medien, sprachlicher Wandel u.v.a.m. Die Beitragenden vereint dabei das Ringen um gültige Antworten auf die wohl brennendste Frage dieser Zeit: Wie gelingt der Paradigmenwechsel vom neoliberalistischen Paradigma einer destruktiven individualistischen Konkurrenz zum gemeinschaftsorientierten Paradigma kreativer Kollaborativität?

There is no issue more central to a legal order than responsibility, and yet the dearth of contemporary theorizing on international responsibility law is worrying for the state of international law. The volume brings philosophers of the law of responsibility into dialogue with international responsibility law specialists. Its tripartite structure corresponds to the three main theoretical challenges in the contemporary practice of international responsibility law: the public and private nature of the international responsibility of public institutions; its collective and individual dimensions; and the place of fault therein. In each part, two international lawyers and two philosophers of responsibility law address the most pressing questions in the theory of international responsibility law. The volume closes with a comparative'world tour'of the responsibility of public institutions in four different legal cultures and regions, identifying stepping-stones and stumbling blocks on the path towards a common law of international responsibility.

Selected from the two most recent proceedings of the Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture (2019 and 2021), this collection of essays explores subject matter centered both inside and beyond the ballpark. Fifteen contributors offer critical commentary on a range of topics, including controversial decisions on the field and in Hall of Fame elections; baseball's historical role as a rite of passage for boys; two worthy catchers who never received their due; the genesis and development of the minor leagues; and baseball's place in popular culture.

This book showcases the diverse literary traditions from India's Northeast and their shared connections and lineages. It critically analyses a selection of literary works from authors and poets from this region and the hegemonies of language, ethnicity and politics that have framed these voices.As a region with rich cultural and ethnolinguistic diversity, Northeast India's literature is representative of varied histories, languages, socio-cultural and religious practices. The book highlights the distinct use of language, forms, cultural symbols and metaphors which articulates the unique experiences of conflict, beauty and culture in this area. Focussing on the translingual and transcultural aspects of these literary works it examines the dynamics between literature, language and their socio-cultural influences. The book pays attention to themes of representation, identity and power to showcase voices and perspectives of dissent, criticism and introspection. It explores contemporary critical approaches to literature from the Northeast, by re-examining the idea of the centre and the periphery and the position of subaltern literary voices.This book will be of interest to students and researchers of literature, language, cultural studies, postcolonial studies and South Asian studies.

Der vorliegende Band legt den Fokus auf kosmologische und kosmogonische Vorstellungen im Corpus Hermeticum und in weiteren, der antiken Hermetik zugerechneten Schriften. Die Beiträge untersuchen den synkretistischen Entstehungsprozess der Schriften und deren Gegenstand und Wirkung im Kontext der antiken Religions- und Philosophiegeschichte. Der Band bündelt dazu in interdisziplinärer Perspektive Beiträge verschiedener Forschungsrichtungen und Wissenschaftsdisziplinen wie u.a. Altphilologie, Theologie, Philosophiegeschichte, Religionswissenschaft, Ägyptologie sowie Gnosisforschung und betritt auf diese Weise wissenschaftliches Neuland. Niclas Förster und Uwe-Karsten Plisch publizieren in erweiterter Form Vorträge einer im Februar 2018 an der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen veranstalteten Tagung über'Kosmogonie und Kosmologie in hermetischen Schriften'.

The most recent cutting-edge scholarship on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth centuries.The essays collected here demonstrate the rich vitality of scholarship in this area. This volume has a particular focus on the interrelations between the various parts of north-western Europe. After the opening piece on Lotharingia, there are detailed studies of the relationship between Ponthieu and its Norman neighbours, and between the Norman and Angevin duke-kings and the other French nobility, followed by an investigation of the world of demons and possession in Norman Italy, with additional observations on the subject in twelfth-century England. Meanwhile, the York massacre of the Jews in 1190 is set in a wider context, showing the extent to which crusader enthusiasm led to the pogroms that so marred Anglo-Jewish relations, not just in York but elsewhere in England; and there is an exploration of poverty in London, also during the 1190s, viewed through the prism of the life and execution of William fitz Osbert. Another chapter demonstrates the power of comparative history to illuminate the norms of proprietary queenship, so often overlooked by historians of both kingship and queenship. And two essays focusing on landscape bring the physical into close association with the historical: on the equine landscape of eleventh and twelfth-century England, adding substantially to our understanding of the place of the horse in late Anglo-Saxon and early Anglo-Norman societies, and on the Brut narratives of Geoffrey of Monmouth, Wace, and Laȝamon, arguing that they use realistic landscapes in their depiction of the action embedded in their tales, so demonstrating the authors'grasp of the practical realities of contemporary warfare and the role played by landscapes in it.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) est probablement l'un des plus importants penseurs et philosophes de notre époque. On peut dire que les sciences humaines en général et la philosophie en particulier doivent prendre une position positive ou négative concernant la philosophie hégélienne avant de procéder à d'autres développements qui leur seraient propres.

The integration of theology and social vocation invites scholars and practitioners to reach outside their discipline and into relationship with others. Out of these relationships new ways of enacting faith and informing practice can emerge. This book brings together a collection of essays engaging with the integration of theology and social vocation. Designed to reflect and invite dialogue, these authors engage with the relationship between faith and practice as it is expressed in their own area of interest and speciality. Arranged in five themed dialogues--wellbeing, formation, hospitality, therapy, and theology--each essay reflects the unique dynamics of its author's integrative process and offers something new to the ongoing conversation between theology and social vocation. This set of essays will be of interest to practitioners and students concerned to infuse their faith with their practice of vocation, to develop a practicing faith.

Essays on a wide range of topics including the role of early modern chess in upholding Aristotelian virtue; readings of Sidney, Wroth, Spenser, and Shakespeare; and several topics involving the New World.Renaissance Papers collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. The present volume opens with an essay on early modern chess, arguing that it covertly upheld an Aristotelian concept of virtue against the destabilizing ethical views of writers such as Machiavelli. This provocative opening is followed by iconoclastic discussions of Sidney's Astrophil and Stella, Wroth's Urania, and Spenser's Fairie Queen. The next essay investigates the mystery surrounding editorship of the 1571 printing of The Mirror for Magistrates. The essays then pivot into the exotic world of Hermetic'statue magic'in Shakespeare's Winter's Tale and the even more exotic worlds of alchemy, Aztec war gods, and conversion in sixteenth-century Mexico. Two further essays remain in the New World, the first examining the representational connections between the twelve Caesars and the twelve Inca kings, the second taking stock of Thomas Harriot's contribution to the understanding of Amerindian languages. The penultimate essay looks at Holbein's depiction of Henry VIII's ailing body, and the volume concludes with a complex analysis of guilt and shame in Molière's L'École des Femmes.Contributors: Jean Marie Christensen, William Coulter, Christopher Crosbie, Shepherd Aaron Ellis, Scott Lucas, Fernando Martinez-Periset, Timothy Pyles, Rachel Roberts, Jesse Russell, Janet Stephens, Weiao Xing.
