····· lezzter Preis 37.71€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Textiles comprise a vast and wide category of material culture and constitute a crucial part of the ancient economy. Yet, studies of classical antiquity still often leave out this important category of material culture, partly due to the textiles themselves being only rarely preserved in the archaeological record. This neglect is also prevalent in scholarship on ancient Greek religion and ritual, although it is one of the most vibrant and rapidly developing branches of classical scholarship. The aim of the present enquiry is, therefore, to introduce textiles into the study of ancient Greek religion and thereby illuminate the roles textiles played in the performance of Greek ritual and their wider consequences. Among the questions posed are how and where we can detect the use of textiles in the sanctuaries, and how they were used in rituals including their impact on the performance of these rituals and the people involved. Chapters centre on three themes: first, the dedication of textiles and clothing accessories in Greek sanctuaries is investigated through a thorough examination of the temple inventories. Second, the use of textiles to dress ancient cult images is explored. The examination of Hellenistic and Roman copies of ancient cult images from Asia Minor as well as depictions of cult images in vase-painting in collocation with written sources illustrates the existence of this particular ritual custom in ancient Greece. Third, the existence of dress codes in the Greek sanctuaries is addressed through an investigation of the existence of particular attire for ritual personnel as well as visitors to the sanctuaries with the help of iconography and written sources. By merging the study of Greek religion and the study of textiles, the current study illustrates how textiles are, indeed, central materialisations of Greek cult, by reason of their capacity to accentuate and epitomize aspects of identity, spirituality, position in the religious system, by their forms as links between the maker, user, wearer, but also as key material agents in the performance of rituals and communication with the divine. ····· 101764639

The British usually described the thugs as fanatic assassins and Kali-worshippers, yet Wagner argues that the history of thuggee need no longer be limited to the study of its representation. ····· 101763736

für 24.63€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Kariya Wuro is a rock shelter in north east Nigeria, excavated in the 1980s and studied by a team of researchers from the University of Ibadan. Preliminary accounts of some aspects have been published, but this is the first full site report. The Late Stone Age occupation consists of two phases, aceramic and ceramic, both described and illustrated in detail. In order to supplement the pollen analysis from the rock shelter, a thorough study of the vegetation of the area was made, with plant names recorded both in Hausa and the local Kariya language. The Kariya people, or Wiihe as they call themselves, are a small community, part of the North Bauchi language group. A description is given of their society, in particular their masquerades, although it does not seem too likely that any direct link can be established between them and the former inhabitants of the rock shelter. Full descriptions of excavated rock shelters in West Africa and Nigeria in particular are rare, and the database recorded here should provide a useful point of comparison for researchers in the region as a whole. While this book is primarily of interest to archaeologists, it is also of relevance to those interested in ethnography and linguistics, and the natural environment in this part of Nigeria. ····· 1017675651

Clive Bloom mixes extraordinary marginal voices with famous - and infamous - figures, from messiahs like Richard Brothers and Octavia `Daughter of God` writers such as Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edward Bulwer-Lytton revolutionaries and radicals like Karl Marx, Beatrice Webb, George Bernard Shaw and Oswald Mosley madmen like Richard Dadd and Jack the Ripper orientalists and guerrilla fighters such as T. E. Lawrence worshippers of Pan such as Arthur Machen, Kenneth Grahame and J.M. Barrie, as well as the Latvian anarchists who killed three policemen in the East End of London. This is the story of those who were outcasts by temperament and choice the non-conformists of the age. Clive Bloom`s readable account of the dark underbelly of Victoria`s Britain perfectly captures the unrest bubbling under the surface of strait-laced society. ····· 1017675335

für 25.72€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Citizenship, Inequality, and Difference offers a concise and sweeping overview of citizenship`s complex evolution, from ancient Rome to the present. Political leaders and thinkers still debate, as they did in Republican Rome, whether the presumed equivalence of citizens is compatible with cultural diversity and economic inequality. Frederick Cooper presents citizenship as `claim-making`--the assertion of rights in a political entity. What those rights should be and to whom they should apply have long been subjects for discussion and political mobilization, while the kind of political entity in which claims and counterclaims have been made has varied over time and space. Citizenship, Inequality, and Difference is a historically based reflection on some of the most fundamental issues facing human societies in the past and present. ····· 1017673391

für 21.72€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt einen gerafften Überblick über die politischen, gesellschaftlichen und religiösen Entwicklungen Europas zur Zeit der karolingischen Herrschaft. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Vorstellung, die sich die Menschen zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten von Karl dem Großen gemacht haben. Dabei wird der fränkische Herrscher vor einem literarischen, mythologischen, politischen und religiösen Hintergrund betrachtet. Die Autorin geht der Frage nach, ob wir ein realistisches und historisch belegbares Bild von Karl dem Großen zeichnen oder ob die ihm verliehene Bezeichnung Vater Europas sowohl im 9. als auch im 21. Jahrhundert lediglich von übertriebenem Herrscherlob und einem Wunschdenken zeugt, mit dem man versucht, in dem fränkischen Kaiser eine Identifikationsfigur für Europa zu schaffen. ····· 101763203
für 21.72€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Die im Jahr 2006 ausgebrochene Finanzkrise hat ein gewaltiges gesellschaftliches Echo verursacht. Ihre Folgen sind bei weitem noch nicht absehbar. Es lässt sich jedoch jetzt schon sagen, dass sie sich nicht auf die Ebene der Wirtschaft beschränken. Eine breite Debatte über den Kapitalismus hat die Öffentlichkeit, die Literatur und die Wissenschaft erreicht. Veränderungen im Umgang mit Geldbegriffen sind vielfältig zu beobachten. Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrisen sind jedoch keine Erfindung der Moderne, so befand sich die späte Römische Republik etwa 100 Jahre in einer Art Dauerkrise. Besonders deutlich wird dies an der Catilinarischen Verschwörung - einer Verschwörung, die sich vor allem aus dem Versprechen der Schuldentilgung rekrutiert. Von diesen Überlegungen angeregt, hat sich diese Arbeit mit Frage auseinandergesetzt, ob sich ähnliche sprachliche Phänomene für die römische Republik beobachten lassen. Als Gegenstand der Untersuchung wurden die Briefe Ciceros an Atticus genutzt, seinem Vertrauten und vor allem seinen Bankier. Also ideal geeignet, um Veränderungen im Umgang mit Geld zu untersuchen. ····· 101763201
