Aramaic graffiti from Hatra : a study based on the archive of the Missione Archeologica Italiana /

: Graffiti are an often neglected but crucial witness to everyday life of ancient civilizations. The Aramaic graffiti from Hatra (North Iraq) can make an invaluable contribution in this sense, distributed as they were in various buildings throughout this city which flourished between the 1st and the Third century AD. Thanks to an effective interaction between epigraphy and archaeology, Marco Moriggi and Ilaria Bucci offer a thorough analysis of the Aramaic graffiti from Hatra as documented by the Archive of the Missione Archeologica Italiana (Turin). In addition to the edition of 48 published and 37 unpublished graffiti, this study further includes the concordances of numbers of all Hatran texts published so far and full archaeological information about the graffiti.

Hellworld: The Human Species and the Planetary Factory /

: Hellworld examines the megastructures of global capitalism, asking how revolutionary subjectivity might emerge within and against capital's domesticating force. Central to this inquiry is the planetary factory: the global value chains connecting disparate industrial territories, the rise of China, the fragmentation of global trade, and, above all, the simultaneous deagrarianisation and deindustrialisation of labor. These structural shifts are linked to subjective forces, exploring how social divisions shape resistance. Through an analysis of uprisings in Hong Kong, Thailand, Sudan, and beyond, Hellworld considers whether this system-inescapable as it seems-can, perhaps, be destroyed.

Greek art : from Oxford to Portugal and back again /

: One of the most fascinating topics in the study of ancient art concerns artistic practices and models and the means of transmission of iconographic designs and decorative compositions. This phenomenon, although well known, has not drawn much attention of scholars of the ancient art. Apart from copies of originals, the practice dates back to the first civilizations and may be even older. The media used could be painted vignettes on papyri, paint on leather, or sketches painted on ostraca, used as pattern books. This issue is practically unheard of regarding ancient Greece, although a few media have been found which may have facilitated the transmission of iconographic designs and decorative compositions. In this study we present some examples that suggest the existence of pattern books in the Greek world.

El Salvador : Blood on All Our Hands /

: On April 29, 1981, journalist George Thurlow was shot by members of the El Salvador Treasury Police on a jungle road in San Salvador. His driver, Gilberto Moran, was killed and Associated Press photographer Joaquin Zuniga was seriously injured. In 2000, Thurlow began a more than two-decade search to find Gilberto Moran's grave and some form of personal redemption. El Salvador: Blood On All Our Hands introduces us to those who fought in the civil war, to U.S. aid workers helping to rebuild the country, as well as everyday Salvadorans who suffered through a war killing 70,000 of their fellow citizens.

Scholars from the fields of Islamic studies, religious studies, sociology and Arabic literature connect in various ways to Reinhard Schulze's work to constructively criticize a Eurocentric understanding of modernity. The more specific aspects dealt with under the overarching topic of Islam and modernity make for the four thematic sections of this volume: the study of religion, Islam, and Islamic studies; Islamic knowledge cultures and normativity; language and literature as media of modernity; Islam and Islamic studies in the public sphere. Die Beitragenden zu dieser Festschrift gratulieren Reinhard Schulze zu seinem 65. Geburtstag, indem sie mit der Beziehung zwischen Islam und Moderne ein Lebensthema des Jubilars beleuchten. Vertretende der Islamwissenschaft, Religionswissenschaft, Soziologie und der arabischen Literaturwissenschaft beziehen sich in verschiedener Hinsicht auf Reinhard Schulzes Werk, um ein eurozentrisches Verständnis von Moderne konstruktiv zu kritisieren. Die unter dem Oberthema Islam und Moderne näher behandelten Aspekte sind aus den vier thematischen Sektionen des Bandes ersichtlich: Islam(wissenschaft), Religion und der Eigensinn der Moderne; islamische Wissenskulturen und Normativität; Sprache und Literatur als Medien der Moderne; Islam(wissenschaft) in der Öffentlichkeit.

They discuss and celebrate intellectual, artistic and religious encounters between Europe and the cultural area stretching from Northern Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, and spanning the period from the sixteenth to the late nineteenth century.

Eurovisionen : Vorstellungen von Europa in Literatur und Philosophie /

: Das Thema Europa bewegt nicht nur die Politik. Wie sah man Europa und was wollte man damit? Wie zeigt es sich jetzt und was für Probleme wirft es auf? Was wird von ihm angstvoll erwartet und sehnlich erhofft? Wie wollen wir es haben und wie sollen wir es gestalten? Was halten wir von seiner Integration und wie stellen wir uns diese vor? Derlei Fragen zu erörtern, fand ende September 1995 in Pozna??n??/Posen ein Symposium unter dem Titel statt, der jetzt auch der Haupttitel des hier angezeigten Jahrbuchs der Duitse Kroniek ist. Aus Deutschland und der Schweiz, den Niederlanden und Portugal waren Teilnehmer angereist zu inteerrkultureller und interdisziplinärer Diskussion. Fast alle der dort gehaltenen Vorträge sind in diesen Sammelband eingegangen, sowie noch einige andere Beiträge. Niederländisch-polnische Beziehungen gibt es auch ansonsten. Sie laufen nicht nur geographisch über Deutschland, das vereinigte nunmehr; schmerzliche Erinnerungen gehören dazu, unterschiedlich, aber erkennbar. Der Niederländer sieht in Polen die Aktualität einer nur allzu vertrauten, aber bei ihm selber abgeebbten Reizbarkeit, bei deutschen Autoren aber Hemmungen, welche in seltsamem Kontrast zur Virtuosität der Gedankenführung stehen. Polen fühlt sich seit langem von Europa verlassen und ihm dennoch nach wie vor zugehörig und erhofft sich dort nunmehr einen angemessenen Spielraum für die Verwirklichung neuer Möglichkeiten, während andere ja schon zu resignieren drohen. Denn auch der Europagedanke ist kompromittiert worden, und das wirkt sich in der Versuchung aus, ihn zu verabschieden und der Frage auszuweichen, was denn zu geschehen habe. Das wird referiert und kommentiert. Die Sinnfrage taucht auf, und philosophische Anstrengungen werden nachgezeichnet in Auseinandersetzung mit Ortega, ter Braak, Guardini, Heidegger, Jaspers, Canetti, Habermas. Bildende Kunst und Musik fehlen nicht ganz. So sei der Leser - der europamüde wie der hoffnungsfrohe - aufgefordert zur Teilnahme an solcher Besinnung.

À l'ombre des grandes puissances de Mésopotamie. Une histoire du Sūhu à l'époque néo-assyrienne /

: In À l'ombre des grandes puissances de Mésopotamie. Une histoire du Sūhu à l'époque néo-assyrienne , Philippe Clancier studies the Sūhu region of the Euphrates river, on the border of Assyria and Babylonia. He reconstructs its geography by presenting the fauna and flora, and by identifying sites and the layout of traffic routes. After going back to the 2nd millennium BC to explain the origin of its main dynasty, he highlights the partition of Sūhu into two main kingdoms before its reunification in the 8th century BC and its later conquest by Assyria. Thanks to an interdisciplinary approach that combines written sources, archaeological data and travellers' accounts, Philippe Clancier offers for the first time a history of this region in the neo-Assyrian period.

Sacred, Symbolic, and Contested : Critical Perspectives on Human-Animal Relations in Culture and Society /

: Sacred, Symbolic, and Contested explores how animals are revered, represented, and disputed across global cultures. Through vivid case studies-from sacred cows in India to ritual slaughter in Judaism and animal commodification in industrial societies-this book reveals how human-animal relationships express deep ethical, religious, and political tensions. You'll encounter surprising contradictions: animals celebrated in myth yet mistreated in practice or protected in law yet consumed in daily life. Drawing on sociology, religious studies, and critical animal studies, this timely work invites you to rethink the role of animals in shaping human identity, culture, and moral responsibility.
