Mobile pastoralism and the formation of Near Eastern civilizations : weaving together society /

: "In this book, Anne Porter explores the idea that mobile and sedentary members of the ancient world were integral parts of the same social and political groups in greater Mesopotamia during the period 4000 to 1500 BCE. She draws on a wide range of archaeological and cuneiform sources to show how networks of social structure, political and religious ideology, and everyday as well as ritual practice, worked to maintain the integrity of those groups when the pursuit of different subsistence activities dispersed them over space. These networks were dynamic, shaping many of the key events and innovations of the time, including the Uruk expansion and the introduction of writing, so-called secondary state formation and the organization and operation of government, the literary production of the Third Dynasty of Ur and the first stories of Gilgamesh, and the emergence of the Amorrites in the second millennium BCE" --

Architecture et société au Proche-Orient ancien : les bâtisseurs de mémoire en Mésopotamie (7000-3000 av. J.-C.) /

: Dans le contexte actuel de destruction et pillage des sites archéologiques du Proche-Orient, il est plus que jamais nécessaire de publier les découvertes qui se sont multipliées en Syrie, en Iran ou en Turquie, pour proposer une nouvelle lecture de la naissance de l'urbanisme et de la civilisation en Mésopotamie. Grand connaisseur des fouilles menées ces dernières décennies au Proche-Orient, Pascal Butterlin centre son propos sur la manière dont les sociétés villageoises du Proche-Orient ancien ont entamé, dés le V millénaire, un processus de transformations socio-économiques qui ont abouti à différentes formes d'étatisation ou pour certaines d'entre elles à des formes variées de tribalité. Ce livre se conçoit comme une micro-écologie de la naissance d'Etats marqués d'abord par leur diversité avant des tentatives politiques éphémères d'unification. Il s'agit donc, dans cet ouvrage novateur ; de dessiner les contours du premier décollage mésopotamien, produit d'interactions culturelles de grande ampleur dès la fin du Ve millénaire.
