Die Entstehung komplexer Siedlungen im Zentraloman : Archäologische Untersuchungen zur Siedlungsgeschichte von Al-Khashbah /
:
This volume presents the results of a survey conducted in 2015 and beyond by the Institut für die Kulturen des Alten Orients of the Universität Tübingen in Al-Khashbah, one of the largest Early Bronze Age sites on the Omani Peninsula. Ten monumental buildings, 273 tombs and other structures from the Hafit (3100-2700 BC) and Umm an-Nar periods (2700-2000 BC) were documented here. This makes Al-Khashbah ideally suited for the investigation of the beginnings of complex settlements and social structures in northern Inner Oman at the transition from the 4th to the 3rd millennium BC, because many of the achievements previously attributed to the Umm an-Nar period, such as monumental architecture and the smelting of copper, can already be proven here in the preceding Hafit period. In the Umm an-Nar period, the development of Al-Khashbah continues steadily, giving the site additional importance.

Jewish ethnic identity and relations in Hellenistic Egypt : with walls of iron? /
:
In Jewish Ethnic Identity and Relations in Hellenistic Egypt , Stewart Moore investigates the foundations of common assumptions about ethnicity. To maintain one's identity in a strange land, was it always necessary to band tightly together with one's coethnics? Sociologists and anthropologists who study ethnicity have given us a much wider view of the possible strategies of ethnic maintenance and interaction. The most important facet of Jewish ethnicity in Egypt which emerges from this study is the interaction over the Jewish-Egyptian boundary. Previous scholarship has assumed that this border was a Siegfried Line marked by mutual contempt. Yet Jews, Egyptians and also Greeks interacted in complicated ways in Ptolemaic Egypt, with positive relationships being at least as numerous as negative ones.

Die Bilder der Aufklärung /
:
Aufklärung ist mehr als Vernunftgebrauch und Schriftkultur! So die Ausgangsthese des Bandes, der den Beitrag von Bildmedien zur programmatischen Formierung und publikumswirksamen Verbreitung von Aufklärung untersucht. Denn wie sich die Ideen und Praktiken der Aufklärung in der weithin von bildgetragener Kommunikation geprägten Gesellschaft des 18. Jahrhunderts durchsetzen konnten, lässt sich nur verstehen, wenn man den Einsatz von Bildmedien berücksichtigt. Das können Buchillustrationen oder Flugschriften sein, Tafelbilder und Skulpturen, Diagramme, Karten oder Karikaturen, mit Formaten von Miniaturen bis zu ganzen Raumausstat tungen. In der lange Zeit textfixierten Aufklärungsforschung eröffnen sich so neue Perspektiven: Wie verändert sich unser Bild von der Aufklärung, wenn wir verstärkt ihre Bilder untersuchen?
