Gray, Benjamin D. "Exile and the political cultures of the Greek polis, c. 404-146 BC." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2011. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:a6032897-65a4-4180-a17e-7372069e27c5.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses the evidence for a wide range of phenomena relating to the exile of citizens, by judicial decision or through stasis, to investigate the political cultures of Greek poleis in the period c. 404-146 BC: the fundamental ideas about citizenship which were in circulation in poleis in that period. Political communication in the context of exile phenomena forced citizens to make explicit their fundamental assumptions about the criteria for civic inclusion and exclusion and about the extent and basis of civic obligation. Analysis of surviving evidence for that communication thus offers unique insights into prominent Greek ideas about citizenship. This method is applied, in chapters 1 and 2, to laws and discussions relating to, first, lawful expulsion and exclusion and, second, civic reconciliation and the reintegration of exiles; and, in chapters 3 and 4, to the political rhetoric, organisation and ideas of participants in exclusionary stasis and of exiled citizens. Wherever possible, ancient Greek philosophers’ arguments, rhetoric and assumptions are compared with those of non-philosophers. Study of the four different bodies of evidence suggests that most poleis’ political cultures were distinguished by their extremes, paradoxes, indeterminacies and contradictions. In particular, many poleis’ political cultures included very significant, radical norms of civic voluntarism, encouraging citizens to exercise extensive voluntary initiative in political contexts. Moreover, most poleis political cultures were dominated by two coexisting, radically opposed basic paradigms of the good polis and of good citizenship: these are defined in the introduction and chapter 1 as a ‘unitarian teleological communitarian’ paradigm and a ‘libertarian contractarian’ paradigm. In addition to revealing fundamental ideas of citizenship, some of the exile evidence enables study of the effects of those ideas in practice in this period: citizens’ political choices, claims and behaviour in relevant periods of stress, such as a bout of exclusionary stasis or a spell of political agitation while in exile, represent a well-defined and revealing case-study of the multiple, competing effects of those ideas on political interaction. It is argued that the exile evidence suggests that the same fundamental ideas of citizenship were conducive both to civic stability and flourishing and to destructive civic unrest.

Full textAbstract:
The study of the ancient tattooed Mediterranean people from Assyria (circa 3300 BCE-2100 BCE), Egypt (circa 2000 BCE-300 BCE) Nubia (circa 2000 BCE-300 BCE), Israel (circa 1500 BCE-1200 BCE), Greece (circa 510 BCE-323 BCE), and Rome (circa 510 BCE-323 BCE) comprises the interpretivist investigation into the social-scientific and critical spatial practices of the cultures in order to establish whether or not the tattooed individuals would have been othered because of their marks. This othering is investigated in terms of the body in space, as well as the body as space.
The social-scientific and critical spatial interpretation of the tattooing practices of the ancient Mediterranean cultures show that there are nine social values which are common to these cultures. These values are clothing, communicativeness, honour and shame, humility, nudity, ordering, prominence, social norms, customs, and laws (originally referred to as Torah-orientation), and wholeness. The analysis of these values as they are applied to each of the aforementioned cultures allows for the establishment of the social body as an entity within social space, as well as a spatial entity in itself. The critical spatial interpretation of the phenomenon of Thirding-as-Othering is applied in terms of how the tattooed individuals are othered within the social spaces they inhabit. Critical spatiality is further applied in order analyse the tattooed body in space, based on its social interaction within societal space, as well as to body as space which is analysed based on the individual who bears the tattoos, and the meaning, affect, and esteem that are imparted to that individual by virtue of his or her marks.
This study shows that there is a distinction between honourable and shameful tattoos, and that the othering which occurs based on the honour or shame of the tattooed individual either others the marked individual in the case of shameful tattoos, or, in the case of honourable tattoos, other the unmarked individuals by refusing them access and entry into elite communities, such as those of the military.
Finally, the study identifies four factors of the ancient Mediterranean tattooing process which may be compared, namely, whether or not the tattooing process is engaged in under the individual’s own volition, whether the tattooing process is only applicable to one or both sexes, whether the tattoos are honourable or shameful, and whether the tattoos are decorative, religious, military, or punitive and preventative.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2015.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines large-scale cultural developments in Peru’s north central highlands during the 1st millennium AD, with an emphasis on their implications for ancient language use and spread. Áncash is of special interest because of its long history of research, central geographic position in northern Perú, diversity in archaeological cultures, and the presence of a series of languages, many now extinct. During the 1st millennium, cultural interaction between north highland groups and their neighbors was very prominent during the beginning and the end of the Early Intermediate Period. The end of the Middle Horizon also saw intensive interaction and cultural transformations. The paper ends with a trial, interdisciplinary study to examine the archaeological traces of the Culle language. It compares the distributions of material artifacts, architecture and toponyms of archaeological sites, and finds there is a reasonable, if imperfect, fit between the data.En el presente trabajo se analizan los desarrollos culturales de gran escala en la sierra norcentral del Peru durante el primer milenio d.C., con énfasis en sus implicancias para el uso y dispersión de las lenguas antiguas. La región de Áncash es de un interés especial debido a su larga historia de investigaciones, su ubicación geográfica, la diversidad en las culturas arqueológicas y la presencia de una serie de lenguas, muchas de ellas hoy extintas. En esa etapa, específicamente entre el inicio y el final del Periodo Intermedio Temprano, la interacción cultural entre los grupos de la sierra norte y sus vecinos fue muy importante. El término del Horizonte Medio también fue testigo de una interacción intensiva y transformaciones culturales. Esta contribución concluye con un ensayo interdisciplinario con el objeto de examinar los rasgos arqueológicos de la lengua culle. Se comparan las distribuciones de artefactos materiales, arquitectura y topónimos de sitios arqueológicos y se ha logrado determinar que hay una correspondencia razonable, si bien imperfecta, entre los datos.

Full textAbstract:
It is true that the music of antiquity is now mute, but archaeology has provided valuable artifacts pictorial representations showing musical activity and musical instruments of the ancient world. Several scholars have conducted paramount research regarding music from every period in the ancient Near East, and contributed greatly to the field. Further study, however, is required. This paper presents new questions to previously studied Near Eastern musical artifacts and iconography. These queries explore the areas of identifying instruments in artifacts and iconographic depictions, performance techniques, gender identification of musicians in depictions, and the use of space in cultic activities involving music. The goal of this study is to shed additional light and generate further discussion in these areas of musical activity in the Ancient Near East. As expected, this study is difficult. Nevertheless, these questions must be addressed in an effort to better understand music activity in ancient Israel/Palestine and surrounding Near Eastern cultures.

Gilbertson, Theresa Jane. "A Comparative Analysis of Portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry and Stable Isotopes in Assessing Ancient Coastal Peruvian Diets." Scholar Commons, 2015. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/5951.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores a cross-cultural analysis of the dietary signatures of four coastal cultures of prehistoric Peru. A combination of elemental analysis based on portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF), testing trace elements presented in 209 individuals’ skulls representing the Nazca (38), Cañete (33), Lima (40), and Moche (98) valleys and/or cultures of the first millennium AD, is weighed in conjunction with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) to analyze human bone collagen and bone apatite derived from a portion of the individuals represented in the Nazca, Cañete, and Lima cranial samples.
Evidence from the results of both tests are weighed using descriptive statistics supported with bivariate correlations and linear regression to determine that the pXRF data on the trace elements strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and iron (Fe) from the Moche collection do present potential for accurately portraying diet of those individuals represented in this sample. Additional hypotheses tested include potential for preferential diets based on sex, age, and status as well as attempting to place the valley of Cañete in the cultural sphere of either Lima or Nasca during the Early Intermediate Period. While there was no significant statistical difference in diet based on age in any of the individual valley datasets, there was one valley, Nazca, which showed a considerable variation in diet based on sex. From data derived from this particular sample set, there are mixed results in attempting to apply status to a diet of preferential high nitrogen sources such as marine mammals and large fish. In attempting to place Cañete in the cultural sphere of either Lima or Nasca, it was determined that cultural remains appear to be linked predominately to artifacts and practices of the Lima Culture, but the dietary difference in both stable isotope and trace elements signatures combined with the samples which instead aligned more closely with the Nasca Culture suggests that perhaps Cañete was a marginal space which allowed for the settlement and interaction of peoples from both neighboring cultures without prejudice. Overall, results indicate it would be premature to suggest pXRF replace destructive analysis in determination of diet. Due to the small sample size of stable isotopes deemed viable in testing, it is suggested that a larger sample of stable isotopes should be considered in similar testing and that the major elements from pXRF should also be used before a suggestion that destructive analysis was no longer warranted in many cases for deducing diet in ancient populations.

Medina, Gonzalez E. I. "Structuring the notion of 'ancient civilisation' through displays : semantic research on early to mid-nineteenth century British and American exhibitions of Mesoamerican cultures." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2011. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1310263/.
Full textAbstract:
This research focuses on studying the representation of the notion of ‘ancient civilisation’ in displays produced in Britain and the United States during the early to mid-nineteenth century, a period that some consider the beginning of scientific archaeology. The study is based on new theoretical ground, the Semantic Structural Model, which proposes that the function of an exhibition is the loading and unloading of an intelligible ‘system of ideas’, a process that allows the transaction of complex notions between the producer of the exhibit and its viewers. Based on semantic research, this investigation seeks to evaluate how the notion of ‘ancient civilisation’ was structured, articulated and transmitted through exhibition practices. To fulfil this aim, I first examine the way in which ideas about ‘ancientness’ and ‘cultural complexity’ were formulated in Western literature before the last third of the 1800s. This results in a basic conceptual structure about the notion of ‘ancient civilisation’, which is then analysed in relation to the representations formulated by eight displays on Mesoamerican objects, monuments, and people that date from the 1820s to 1870s, all which have been poorly studied up until now. This work is an original approximation of the history of Mesoamerican archaeology that concludes that early to mid-nineteenth century British and American exhibits structured some aspects of the notion of ‘ancient civilisation’ for the representation of Pre-Columbian cultures by articulating a language code composed of a set of conceptual traits. It also shows that the representation of the notion of ‘ancient civilisation’ through Mesoamerican exhibits was a complex, problematic and changing phenomenon. On one hand, it involved the use of visual, textual, spatial, object-based and performative display technologies and, on the other, the ideas articulated by the displays developed together with the theoretical, conceptual, informational, and socio-political transformations of the era.

Pacheco, Katie. "The Buddhist Coleridge: Creating Space for The Rime of the Ancient Mariner within Buddhist Romantic Studies." FIU Digital Commons, 2013. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/937.
Full textAbstract:
The popularization of academic spaces that combine Buddhist philosophy with the literature of the Romantic period – a discipline I refer to as Buddhist Romantic Studies – have exposed the lack of scholarly attention Samuel Taylor Coleridge and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner have received within such studies. Validating Coleridge’s right to exist within Buddhist Romantic spheres, my thesis argues that Coleridge was cognizant of Buddhism through historical and textual encounters. To create a space for The Rime within Buddhist Romantic Studies, my thesis provides an interpretation of the poem that centers on the concept of prajna, or wisdom, as a vital tool for cultivating the mind. Focusing on prajna, I argue that the Mariner’s didactic story traces his cognitive voyage from ignorance to enlightenment. By examining The Rime within the framework of Buddhism, readers will also be able to grasp the importance of cultivating the mind and transcending ignorance.

This study analyzes the Jim Jarmusch film Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai from the perspective of cultural interaction and what it says about race relations with its presentation of a stylized version of a culturally pluralist America. Sociological theories and formal analysis were applied to examine the film’s depiction of the melting pot in American society, otherness of different ethnic groups and preservation of cultural traditions. The study suggests that though the melting pot may face problems even to the point of violence, the coexistence of different cultures within a society is an attainable goal.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores how Chinese ancient cultural memory is constructed, and specifically how it is reconstructed through Chinese Xianxia TV dramas during the past five years. Ancient Chinese culture has become a hit in Chinese popular culture today, in which Xianxia TV dramas draw the biggest audiences. This study focuses on the ways, namely the transformations between cultural memory as storage memory to cultural memory as living functional memory, in which the Xianxia genre reconstructs the past. Bringing together a ritual view of communication, cultural memory and participatory culture, it applies a cultural approach to communication, which refers to the production and the fandom reception of Xianxia TV drama. Meanwhile, the perspective of culture industry provides a critical dimension to look into this highly commercial genre. This study is based on the analysis of content and representations of the theme song lyrics, posters and the general narratives of six selected Xianxia TV dramas, as well as a virtual ethnography of fan-generated videos and their comments. The findings suggest that, the reconstruction of ancient Chinese cultural memory in Xianxia TV dramas is a complex interplay between the culture industry logics of Xianxia production and the passionate participatory fan culture. The limited representations of the past in the series are absorbed and practiced by the fan audiences. Through fan practices, the fans extend the media text with their passion and knowledge of ancient culture, attaching the cultural memory into their present real-life cultural identity and hence vigorously transforming cultural memory from storage memory into functional memory. This study speaks to the lack of bottom-up perspectives in the studies of the ancient culture revival trend in China, and it contributes to a deeper scholarly understanding of the Xianxia genre.

Full textAbstract:
Malgré son caractère d’animal exotique et venu d’ailleurs, le singe a fait l’objet d’une attention toute particulière de la part de la culture grecque et gréco-romaine. L’animal, que l’imaginaire contemporain considère comme le plus proche de l’homme en vertu de ses caractères morphotypiques et éthologiques, était au contraire conçu par les Anciens comme l’être vivant le plus aberrant de l’humanité, justement en raison d’une pareille similarité considérée comme échouée. L’imaginaire grec concernant le singe se nourrit de pratiques relationnelles en grande partie différentes de celles qui peuvent concerner l’observateur moderne : en effet, les Grecs ne connaissaient pas de grands singes, et le représentant prototypique des primates non-humains était pour eux le magot. En analysant le portrait-robot que les sources zoologiques et médicales nous délivrent concernant la forme du singe, son éthologie et sa façon de se déplacer, il est possible de comprendre d’autres aspects apparemment plus obscurs faisant partie des représentations culturelles conçues par les Grecs pour cet animal. Le singe s’intègre en particulier dans les mêmes configurations symboliques que d’autres caractères de l’imaginaire grec, avec une spécificité propre lorsqu’il est associé à des figures imparfaitement viriles ou masculines telles que les enfants ou les eunuques, ainsi que les homosexuels efféminés. Son association à de milieux sociaux d’élite très souvent liés à une vie considérée comme débauchée, sa condition marquée par l’imperfection physique ainsi qu’une soumission au maître toujours jugée comme précaire, font en sorte que le singe soit considéré comme le véritable geloion mimēma de l’être humain et de son modèle de perfection, à savoir le mâle adulte de condition libreDespite being an exotic animal and coming from elsewhere, monkeys have been the subject of special attention from Greek and Greco-Roman culture. The animal that the contemporary imagination considers the closest to man by virtue of its morphotypical and ethological characters was, on the contrary, conceived by the ancients as the most aberrant living being when compared to man precisely because of such a failed similarity. Ancient Greek imaginary about monkeys feeds on relational practices largely different from those that may concern human beings nowadays: ancient Greeks indeed did not know any great apes and the prototypical representative of the non-human primates was the Barbary ape. By analysing the information that zoological and medical sources give us concerning both the anatomy and the ethology of monkeys, it is possible to understand other seemingly more obscure aspects that are part of the cultural representations conceived by the Greeks for this animal.In particular, monkeys enter into the same symbolic configurations as other figures in ancient Greek imagery especially when associated with imperfectly virile or masculine figures such as children or eunuchs as well as effeminate homosexuals. The association with elite social circles very often linked to a life considered debauched and their condition marked by physical imperfection in addition to a submission to the master always considered as precarious, make the monkey be considered a real geloion mimēma, a laughable counterfeit of the human being and of his perfect prototype, namely the adult male of free condition

Full textAbstract:
Scholars have focused mainly on the sophisticated and specifically literary elements of the novel, revealing a staggering amount of intertextual traffic between the novels and canonical authors from Homer to Herodotus to Plato to Menander. While this (very successful) endeavour has raised the value of the novels’ ‘cultural capital’, it has generally neglected another important aspect of the genre—the so-called ‘low’, ‘sub-literary’ influences on the novels. No work of art exists in a cultural vacuum—as work on intertextuality has shown, novelists like Achilles Tatius and Chariton were familiar with not only Homer and Plato but with contemporary intellectual culture. It seems more than possible that their knowledge would have extended beyond the textual and into the performance culture of the time. The principle concern of my thesis is the question of why the novel is so performative and theatrical. I explore the performance culture influences on three ancient Greek novels—the Callirhoe of Chariton of Aphrodisias, Leucippe and Clitophon of Achilles Tatius, and the Aethiopica of Heliodorus. Each novel makes use of ‘theatre’ metaphorically but also practically and narratologically. The impact of performance culture extends beyond the influence of scripted literary dramatic texts and engages with the broader forms of performance—from mime and pantomime to public speaking. I demonstrate that ‘sub-literary’ performance serves as vibrant, important dialogic partner for the novels, a voice to be heard among the medley of other ‘languages’ (Bahktin’s heteroglossia), if we but listen. By no means do I reveal any uncontaminated evidence for mime or pantomime within the novels, but multiply filtered reflections of popular performance traditions. I suggest that the novel authors composed with performance models in mind or with a sustained, explicit dialectic with performative intertexts.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de doctorat vise à valoriser la pertinence du concept du - complexe culturel atlantique -, pour les périodes du Bronze ancien et du Bronze moyen, à partir de l'analyse des manifestations funéraires documentées de la façade nord de l'Espagne jusqu'au sud-ouest de la France. Nous avons, effectivement, choisi pour cette réflexion, d'étudier les régions les moins visibles de la documentation du domaine atlantique afin, d'une part, de les valoriser individuellement, et d'autre part, de comprendre les relations qu'elles ont entretenues entre elles, mais aussi avec celles du domaine continental Ibérique. Sur cet espace méridional atlantique, les données ont été considérablement renouvelées ces trente dernières années, grâce au développement de l'activité archéologique préventive, et permettent ainsi de contextualiser celles issues des anciennes explorations. Notre objectif consiste à caractériser les solutions funéraires ainsi que les mobiliers qui ont été adoptés sur cet espace afin de définir et de délimiter les groupes culturels en présence. Pour cela, nous avons mis en place une double échelle d'analyse : - une micro-échelle centrée sur la Galice et le bassin de l'Adour, et - une macro-échelle, sur les régions centres et orientales de la façade atlantique Ibérique. La première échelle nous permet d'analyser la documentation de façon exhaustive, en intégrant des données inédites, tandis qu'avec la seconde, globale et synthétique, nous dressons un panorama général et critique sur celle des régions cantabriques et du Pays Basque espagnol. La conjugaison de ces deux approches nous permet d'effectuer des comparaisons variées sur la documentation de ces espaces et d'identifier de nombreuses convergences, en particulier à partir d'aspects de la culture matérielle qui n'avaient pas été abordés lorsque le concept du Bronze Atlantique a été bâti. Elles concernent, notamment, des mobiliers céramiques, mais aussi la réponse unanime de ces régions atlantiques face aux cultures de la Meseta : celle de l'immobilisme. Ces éléments ainsi que les changements funéraires qui se sont opérés entre le Bronze ancien et le Bronze moyen nous permettent de caractériser ce qu'il convient de considérer comme des dynamiques atlantiques communes. Enfin, notre base documentaire, constituée de plus de 260 sites, nous amène, également, à aborder la question des facteurs qui ont été à l'origine de la constitution des groupes culturels, multiples, de cet espace, en valorisant la place des influences extérieures, des substrats locaux ainsi que des obstacles topographiques dominants du paysageThis doctoral work to highlight the relevance of the - atlantic cultural complex - concept, spanning the ancient and middle Bronze age, based on the analysis of funeral manifestations documented throughout Northern Spain and South-Western France. The choice to study regions which remain less visible with respect to the available documentation on the atlantic domain, as a point of reference for this research, was done in order to acknowledge their individual value and to understand the relationships between these regions and with those of the continental iberian domain. Data for the meridional atlantic zone has considerably expanded over the past thirty years, thanks to the development of preventive archaeological activities, thus enabling the contextualisation of data from past explorations. The main objective of this research is to characterise the funeral finalities and furniture used by people in this area, in order to define and delimit different cultural groups. In order to do this we used a double-scale for analysis : a micro-scale centered on Galicia and the Adour basin, and a macro-scale encompassing the central and east-central front of atlantic Iberia. The first scale allowed us to analyse the data in a very exhaustive manner, integrating brand-new data, whereas with the second scale, which is much more global and synthetic, we established a general and critical panorama of the data for the cantabrian and Basque regions of Spain. The combination of these two approaches allows us to establish a variety of comparisons on the documentation about these areas, and to identify many convergences, especially with regards to material culture that had not been addressed when constructing the Atlantic Bronze concept. This includes pottery items, as well as a certain immobilism on behalf of the atlantic regions in response to the Meseta cultures. These elements, along with funeral changes that occurred between the ancient and middle Bronze age allow us to characterise what can be considered as the common atlantic dynamics. Lastly, our database of over 260 sites, raises the question of what factors might have caused the composition of the various different cultural groups in the area, emphasizing the role played by exterior influences, local substrates and topographical obstacles
Ese trabajo de doctorado pretende valorar la pertinencia del concepto del - complejo cultural atlántico -, para los periodos del Bronce antiguo y medio, mediante el análisis de las manifestaciones funerarias documentadas de la fachada norte de España hasta el suroeste de Francia. Hemos elegido para esta reflexión el estudio de las regiones menos visibles de la documentación del ámbito atlántico con el fin, por una parte, de valorar cada una de ellas individualmente, y por otra, de comprender los tipos de relaciones que mantenían entre ellas, pero también, con las del ámbito continental Ibérico. Sobre ese espacio meridional atlántico, los datos se incrementaron de forma significativa estos últimos treinta años, gracias al desarrollo de la actividad arqueológica preventiva, y permiten, por lo tanto, contextualizar las que provienen de las antiguas exploraciones. Nuestro objetivo consiste en caracterizar las soluciones funerarias así como los mobiliarios que han sido adoptados, para definir y delimitar los grupos culturales presentes en ese espacio. Para eso, hemos procesado a una doble escala de análisis: - una micro-escala centrada sobre Galicia y la cuenca del Adour, y una macro-escala, sobre las regiones centrales y orientales de la fachada atlántica Ibérica. La primera escala nos permite analizar la documentación de forma exhaustiva, integrando datos inéditos a nuestro discurso, mientras que, con la segunda, global y sintética, establecemos un panorama general y crítico de Asturias, Cantabria y del País Vasco. La combinación de estos dos tipos de enfoques nos permite efectuar unas variadas comparaciones sobre la documentación de esos espacios e identificar numerosas convergencias, en particular en relación con aspectos de la cultura material que no habían sido tratados cuando el concepto del Bronce Atlántico nació. Estas implican, especialmente, los recipientes cerámicos, pero también la respuesta unánime de las regiones atlánticas hacia las culturas de la Meseta: la del inmovilismo. Esos elementos, así como los cambios funerarios que se operan entre el Bronce antiguo y el Bronce medio, nos permite caracterizar lo que conviene considerar como una dinámica atlántica común. Por fin, nuestra base documental, constituida por más de 260 yacimientos, nos lleva a abordar la cuestión de los factores que han estado en el origen de la constitución de los grupos culturales, múltiples, de este espacio, valorizando el papel de las influencias exteriores, de los substratos locales, así como de los obstáculos topográficos dominantes del paisaje

Full textAbstract:
L’héritage de Strasbourg s’est construit dans le contexte particulier d’une ville frontalière, dans laquelle différentes influences, principalement française et germanique, ont contribué à forger un caractère singulier. Pourtant, les valeurs conférées à cet ensemble ne sont pas déterminées uniquement par le champ restrictif des considérations nationales. Depuis le Second Empire jusqu’à aujourd’hui, elles ont sans cesse évolué, en particulier depuis les décennies suivant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Notre étude vise à faire état de la construction et de l’évolution des valeurs de l’héritage et du patrimoine de Strasbourg, et en particulier du quartier de la Neustadt, conçu et mis en œuvre pendant la période de l’annexion allemande (1871-1918) lorsque la ville devient la capitale du Reichsland d’Alsace-Lorraine. La période de l’étude s’ouvre à partir des années 1840, au moment du premier inventaire des monuments historiques et d’un grand effort de modernisation et d’embellissement par la Municipalité, et va jusqu’à aujourd’hui, à l’heure où la Neustadt suscite un intérêt croissant tant de la part des institutions locales et régionales, du milieu scientifique, que de la population.Dans ce but, ont été mobilisées les sources permettant d’éclairer ces phénomènes : procès-verbaux du conseil municipal, archives de la commission municipale des Beaux-arts, archives du service régional des Monuments historiques, manuels et revues spécialisés en urbanisme et architecture, les histoires de Strasbourg, les guides et récits de voyage ainsi que la presse quotidienne.Dans cette thèse, l’héritage est considéré comme « l’ensemble des aménagements anthropiques légués, subsistant en tout ou partie », et le patrimoine correspond à « la partie qu’on considère digne de conservation, de restauration et de mise en valeur » (Gauthiez, 2006, p. 126).Les recherches mettent en évidence que les valeurs de l’héritage et du patrimoine bâtis de Strasbourg se fondent pour une part sur les discours portés sur ces objets, mais aussi sur des silences. Ces discours et silences sont nourris de fortes considérations idéologiques liées aux doctrines et pratiques du patrimoine en France et en Allemagne, et d’ordre nationaliste. D’abord héritage méconnu, « étranger », puis patrimoine « hyper-valorisé » illustrant des influences croisées entre France et Allemagne, le patrimoine de la Neustadt se fonde également sur des conflits et le dépassement d’idéologies tout au long du XXe siècle, jusqu’à conduire à une candidature à l’inscription sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco.Une autre part des valeurs de l’héritage et du patrimoine s’inscrit dans un substrat régional et local fort et la continuité des acteurs. Un décalage apparaît nettement dans certains cas entre les pratiques patrimoniales et les discours liés à ces pratiques. Les projets peuvent ainsi se poursuivre au-delà des changements d’appartenance nationale sans nécessairement que la continuité soit revendiquée. Le fort substrat régional et local a également participé de la construction d’une dimension mythologique de l’héritage et du patrimoine qui a favorisé cette cohérence (Barthes, 1957).Force est de constater également que les valeurs de l’héritage et du patrimoine dépendent en grande partie de leur état de connaissance dans les sphères institutionnelle et administrative, scientifique et de la population. Le fait que l’héritage des trois premiers quarts du XIXe siècle de Strasbourg fasse aujourd’hui l’objet d’une sous-valorisation est le résultat du manque d’intérêt porté également au sein de la sphère scientifique.L’approche choisie permet de dépasser les pratiques actuelles dans l’étude de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme en prenant mieux en compte les discours sur l’héritage bâti et en incluant des aspects anthropologiques, symboliques, politiques, sociologiques et culturels, pour exposer la construction du regard patrimonialThe heritage of Strasbourg was built within the context of a boundary city, in which different influences, mainly French and German, have contributed to forge a singular character. Nonetheless, the values attributed to the site are not only determined by the restrictive field of national considerations. From the Second Empire to nowadays, they have continually evolved, and especially since the decades following the Second World War. Our study aims at explaining the construction and evolution of heritage values of Strasbourg, mainly those of the Neustadt, conceived and built during the German annexation (1871-1918), when Strasbourg became the capital of the Reichsland Elsass-Lothringen. The period of study opens during the 1840s, when the first inventory of historical monuments was created and a program of modernisation and embellissement was carried out by the City authorities. It stretches until nowadays, when the Neustadt is arousing increasing interest from the local and regional institutions, in the scientific field and among the population. Diverse sources have been exploited during researches: Municipal Council’s minutes, archives of the Municipal Council of Fine-Arts, archives of the Regional Office for Historical Monuments, handbooks and periodicals in architecture and urban planning, histories of Strasbourg, guides and trips narrations, and the press. In the thesis, « Héritage » is conceived as the « ensemble of anthropic construction inherited, partly or completely subsisting », and « Patrimoine » as « the part of heritage identified worthy of conservation, restoration, and valorisation ». (Gauthiez, 2006, p. 126).Firstly, the researches have revealed that the values of heritage of Strasbourg are founded, for one part, on the discourses hold on these objects, as well as on the silences. These discourses and silences are nourished by strong ideological considerations linked to doctrines and practices in the heritage field in France and in Germany. Originally unknown, then considered as « foreign » and finally as heritage « hyper-valorised » illustrating the crossed-influences between France and Germany, the heritage of the Neustadt is founded on conflicts and ideological overtaking all along the XXth century. Nowadays, Unesco World Heritage inscription is envisaged for the Neustadt.Secondly, it appeared that another part of the values of heritage is inscribed within the strong regional substrate and the continuity of actors. A discrepancy appeared when comparing the discourses and practices. Projects are in some case continued beyond the national changes. The important regional substrate has also allowed the construction of a mythological dimension to heritage (Barthes, 1957), and has strengthened the coherence in the urban landscape.Thirdly, the values of heritage rely for a large part on the knowledge within the institutional and administrative spheres, the scientific field, and among the population. The fact that the heritage of the first quarters of the XIXth century of Strasbourg is today under-valorised is the result of a lack of interest within the academic field. The approach selected allows overtaking the current practices in the study of architecture and urban planning by better taking into account the discourses on heritage and by including anthropological, symbolical, political, sociological and cultural aspects, so as to expose the construction of heritage gaze (regard patrimonial)

Full textAbstract:
The Ancient Egyptians have always had a strong connection with their animals. This can be seen in the depictions of their gods as well as in their way of writing in hieroglyphics, in which multiple animal figures are used. The Ancient Egyptians are also associated strongly with the afterlife and their interest in the deceased and funerary texts. Much of the Ancient Egyptian material culture that has been preserved has some connection to one of these aspects. Their funerary culture has been well-preserved thanks to the dry and arid conditions of the desert, while the Nile has almost completely destroyed the rest of their culture.
This dissertation focuses on the relationship of the Ancient Egyptians with animals, specifically canines, in association with death and the afterlife. The focus is on the similarities between canines and the main canine deities: Anubis, Wepwawet, and Duamutef, listing the connections between the funerary, canine gods and the animals the Egyptians linked to them. It also looks at the hieroglyphic representation of both the gods and the canines. The animals in question are also briefly discussed, analysing their behaviour, and linking it to the information gathered on the canine deities.Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2020.

Full textAbstract:
Comment l’Egypte ancienne s’inscrit-elle dans la mémoire collective ? La constitution d’un imaginaire de l’Egypte ancienne est à inclure dans un courant culturel et artistique parfois fait d’emprunts sélectifs au répertoire antique, tout en étant simultanément redevables à d’autres traditions artistiques et notamment à l’égyptomanie. L’égyptomanie acquiert alors dans la bande dessinée une dimension propre, caractérisée par des codes et un vocabulaire tout à fait spécifiques, favorisant l’invention narrative et graphique. Saisir les mystères de l’Egypte ancienne dans la bande dessinée revient à composer une « grammaire de la civilisation » des pharaons. Ainsi, la construction d’un cadre signifiant permet de dresser les lieux de mémoires (signifiants, significatifs, moins évocateurs ou carrément absents), le topos exotique (mytho-géographie, image de l’autre, références bibliques comme marqueur d’une distinction), l’image d’une société hiérarchisée (prédominance de Pharaon et des puissants sur le peuple de la vallée) et le tableau d’une religion et de croyances fascinantes (attraction du polythéisme et de l’univers des mythes égyptiens, illustration des rites funéraires, de la mort et de l’au-delà) comme autant de rouages structurels dans l’agencement d’une mémoire de l’Egypte ancienne. Cependant, il convient de ne pas négliger l’intégration dans la fabrique de l’imaginaire de l’Egypte ancienne des processus dynamiques qui s’opèrent dans la constitution d’un laboratoire d’imageries plus ou moins stéréotypées. Réfléchir sur la généalogie des images et distinguer les sources d’influences sur lesquels s’appuient les auteurs (sources héritées de l’Egypte ancienne et/ou sources puisées dans l’histoire des arts) démontre que les représentations qui nourrissent l’imagination des artistes ne naissent pas ex-nihilo mais sont le fait d’un long cheminement historique. Les auteurs recréent et réinterprètent l’Histoire avec des référents et des attitudes mentales qui leur appartiennent tout en laissant libre cours à des fantasmes parfois difficiles à décrypterHow does ancient Egypt remain etched on the collective memory ? The construction of an imagination of ancient Egypt is to be included in an artistic and cultural trend which is sometimes made of selective borrowings from the repertoire of antiquity as well as being indebted simultaneously to other artistic traditions, in particular egyptomania. Egyptomania acquires, then, in comics, a dimension of its own which is characterized by codes and very specific vocabulary, favouring narrative and graphic inventiveness. Grasping the mysteries of ancient Egypt in comics comes down to working out a “ grammar of the civilization” of Pharaohs. Thus, the construction of a signifying framework allows us to list places of memories (which are signifying, significant, less evocative or altogether lacking ), exotic topos (mytho-geography, image of otherness, biblical references as marker of distinction), the image of a society organized into a hierarchy ( the predominance of the Pharaohs and the mighty over the people in the valley) and the depiction of a religion as well as fascinating beliefs ( attraction to polytheism and to the universe of Egyptian myths, illustrations of funerary rituals, death and the beyond), all these structuring the construction of a memory of ancient Egypt. However, one must not neglect the integration of dynamic processes in the construction of the imagination of ancient Egypt. Those dynamic processes are at work in the building up of more or less stereotyped imagery. Reflecting on the genealogy of images and distinguishing the sources of influence on which the authors rely (sources inherited from ancient Egypt and / or sources out of the history of the arts) demonstrate that the representations that nurture the artists’ imagination are not born out of nothing but are the result of long historic development. Authors re-create and reinterpret History with reference points and mental attitudes of their own while giving free rein to a fantasy world which is sometimes difficult to decipher

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the significance of spoils and the practice of spoils-taking in Roman culture. Working from the premise that spoils in the classical sense (Latin spolia, exuviae) are items singled out for their symbolic value and accordingly subjected to different treatment than other war booty (Latin praeda, manubiae), I begin by examining arma, one of the primary targets of despoliation, in order to show how this symbolic value is generated based on the identity of the spoils’ original owners. From there I show that the value of spoils depends directly upon the virtus (i.e. “manliness” as demonstrated primarily through courage or prowess in combat) of the parties involved in taking and giving them, as shown by cases involving male figures who lack this quality or female figures who exhibit it. In the following two chapters I propose a model of “inheritance by conquest”: that spoils are earned through successful acts of virtus and can thereafter be deployed as handles by which to manipulate the identity of their original owners. In order to demonstrate this model at work, I trace several case studies that highlight the role of spoils as symbolic capital in the context of aristocratic competition, as well as the transformation of two spoils traditions (the laurel-wreath and the spolia opima) during the transition from Republic to Empire. Finally, I look to related phenomena, including headhunting and other human trophy collecting, relic culture, and architectural spolia, to help illuminate the dual nature of spoils as both proofs and remembrances of victory and victim.Classics

Full textAbstract:
The present study contends with the commodification and decadence of Hellenism and paideia (intellectual and cultural sophistication) during the Second Sophistic. It charts the path that Hellenism took from an esoteric ethnic essence to a universal and inclusive ethic. Given this inclusiveness, anyone in the empire who adopted a paideutic character had the chance of becoming a "Hellene," especially sophists. Upon establishing an ecumenical Hellenism, competition for audiences with other forms of entertainment compelled sophists to adopt a more theatrical lecture style, where the aesthetics of performance were more important than edification, and laid the foundation for commodification. The socio-political Roman context encouraged dissembling, actively commodifying the role of the sophist and philosopher. In the end, the empty pleasures of spectacle allowed for a new moral code to adopt and adapt Greek philosophic education, heralding a slow decay of ancient Hellenism.L'étude présentée ici discute la marchandisation et la décadence de l'Hellénisme et de la paideia durant la Seconde Sophistique. L'essence de l'Hellénisme a dû changer d'une ethnique ésotérique à une éthique universelle et inclusive. La compétition pour une audience obligea les sophistes à adopter un style de cours davantage théâtral, dans lequel les apparences et le divertissement étaient plus importants que l'enseignement. Le contexte socio-politique romain encouragea également la dissimulation en marchandant activement le rôle du sophiste et du philosophe. À la fin, les plaisirs superflus du spectacle permirent à un nouveau code moral d'adopter et d'adapter une éducation philosophique grecque, annonçant un lent déclin de l'Hellénisme ancien.

Durante o Reino Médio (c. 2040 1650 a.C), os escribas se autorreferenciaram como um grupo que não servia apenas aos interesses administrativos, mas também à demanda por um meio culto e educado da sociedade. Através deles, circulariam a propaganda real e doutrinação peculiares ao programa cultural daquele período para garantir a lealdade aos faraós. Entretanto, esse foi só mais um dos muitos aspectos e usos da literatura naquele contexto. O enaltecimento da realeza foi combinado ao caráter moralizador e à autorreferência do ofício dos escribas que compuseram os textos exortativos. Conhecidos como instruções, os textos literários em questão traziam referências da cultura oral egípcia que afirmava valores considerados positivos para a vida em sociedade e para o bom desenvolvimento do indivíduo. Mas também tratavam das tensões vividas em questões políticas e socioculturais. A escritura dos textos disseminou na memória cultural da sociedade egípcia referenciais identitários dos escribas que foram transmitidos através de gerações. A articulação entre manutenção das tradições da sociedade e a disseminação dos novos ideais régios se deu pela agência dos escribas, contribuindo para a atualização do seu status.During the Middle Kingdom (ca. 2040 - 1650 B.C.), scribes self-referenced as a group serving not only administrative interests, but also the demand for a cultured and educated group of the society. Through them, they would circulate the royal propaganda and indoctrination peculiar to the periods cultural program in order to ensure loyalty to the pharaohs. However, this was just one of many aspects and uses of literature in that context. The uplifting of royalty was combined with the moral character and self-reference to the craft of the scribes that composed the exhortative texts. Known as instructions, the literary texts in question broght references to the Egyptian oral culture which affirmed values considered positive for life in society and for the individuals good development. But they also dealt with the tensions experienced in political and socio-cultural issues. The writing of the texts disseminated in the cultural memory of Egyptian society the identity references of the scribes that were transmitted through generations. The articulation between maintaining the traditions of society and the dissemination of the new royal ideals were given through the agency of the scribes, contributing to the update of their status.

Parmar, Anisha. "Exploiting resource use efficiency and resilience in ancient wheat species." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2014. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/14515/.
Full textAbstract:
Modern bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) initially derived from wild progenitors which underwent hybridisation and domestication events. It is hypothesised that modern plant breeding has reduced the genetic variation among modern cultivars (Sparkes, 2010). Ancient wheat species form a conduit between wild ancient wheat and cultivated Triticum species, and may harbour the genetic variation required to supplement the modern bread wheat gene pool. The current work investigated a range of morphological and physiological aspects of several ancient species including several representatives of spelt, emmer and einkorn. These were compared to modern bread wheat in two field and three glasshouse experiments with the aim to investigate their resource use efficiency, where radiation use and water use formed the crux. The main components of the current work relate to 1) canopy interception characteristics 2) leaf photosynthetic capabilities and 3) water use. Spelt genotypes demonstrated increased WUE and green area longevity compared with modern bread wheat. Emmer displayed increased WUE, assessed on three scales using instantaneous transpiration efficiency (ITE), biomass to water uptake ratios, and carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C). In addition, the mechanisms whereby emmer, einkorn and spelt maintained ITE appeared to differ. Emmer was observed to increase photosynthetic rates, whereas spelt maintained low transpiration as a result of low stomatal conductance. Einkorn however, maintained ITE through an intermediate of both of these mechanisms. This was further supported by species differences for maximum photosynthetic rates (Asat) which, for emmer and einkorn, were comparable with modern bread wheat. Investigation of WUE through Δ13C and biomass production to water uptake ratios ranked species similarly, showing emmer and spelt to have superior WUE during grain filling. Additionally, spelt was observed to produce biomass comparable to modern bread wheat, thought to be due to enhanced RUE (observed in one field trial) or increased green area longevity rather than increased assimilation capability. In field experiments, biomass production and light interception was relatively high for einkorn species, however this was believed to derive from excessive tiller production due to poor emergence. Overall, ancient species did partition a larger proportion of assimilates toward tillers. Modern bread wheat produced fewer tillers, but directed more biomass towards the ear, and therefore had greater harvest indices (HI) compared to all ancient species. Despite this broad analysis, further investigation of the mechanisms responsible for these traits is required. This research therefore indicates that there is sufficient variation for traits, which could be used to improve radiation and water use efficiency, and therefore warrants further exploration. With further investigation, resource capture and utilisation efficiency, and the morphological traits that confer these advantages in these genotypes, genetic markers could be identified with the aim to introduce valuable traits for the production of novel modern bread wheat varieties. The differences observed between these ancient wheat species and modern bread wheat provide an opportunity through which modern wheat gene pools may be improved to stabilise yields, particularly in sub-optimal environmental conditions, thus increasing biomass production per unit resource, thereby enhancing the productivity and the efficiency of crop systems.

L'imagerie de photoluminescence synchrotron apparaît comme uneméthode particulièrement prometteuse pour l’étude de matériaux hétérogènesmêlant composés minéraux et organiques, comme ceux des sciences des matériaux anciens.Au cours de ce travail de thèse, nous avons développé le dispositif de microscopie de photoluminescence existant de la ligne DISCO du synchrotron SOLEIL afin d’identifier de nouveaux marqueurs de photoluminescence permettant de caractériser des processus physico-chimiques intervenant pendant la fabrication ou l’altération des matériaux anciens. Ces travaux ont conduit au développement d'un système de microscopie multi-spectrale optimisé. Le développement optique d'une illumination homogène, l’optimisation de la détection et la calibration radiométrique du dispositif ont mené à l’obtention d’images de photoluminescence quantitatives.Ce dispositif a été optimisé pour répondre au mieux à des problématiques archéologiques et patrimoniales avec une analyse topologique, chimique et des structures électronique et cristalline. Ces nouveaux développements ont été testés dans le cadre de systèmes d’étude réels composés de semi-conducteurs à grand gap. En étudiant des pigments d’artiste historiques composés d’oxyde de zinc (ZnO), nous montrons que les propriétés de photoluminescence du ZnO permettent de discriminer des pigments homogènes à macro-échelle, par l’hétérogénéité de photoluminescence à micro-échelle. Deux artefacts archéologiques en alliage de cuivre et un résidu en bronze ont été étudiés. L’étude en particulier du Cu2O en microscopie de photoluminescence multi-spectrale a mis en évidence l’apport de l’analyse par photoluminescence pour reconstruire la chaîne opératoire de métallurgie et apporter de nouvelles informations dans la compréhension des processus d’altération.Ces travaux ont démontré le potentiel de cette nouvelle méthodologie etl’intérêt de développer une telle approche au champ d’application desmatériaux anciens, matériaux présentant une forte hétérogénéité sur plusieurséchelles successivesSynchrotron photoluminescence imaging has emerged as a promisingmethod to study heterogeneous materials,composed of inorganic and organic compounds as those in ancient materials sciences.During this Ph.D., we have further developed the existing photoluminescencemicroscopy set-up of the DISCO beamline at the SOLEIL synchrotron, to identify new photoluminescence markers that allow characterizing physico-chemical processes taking place during the manufacturing or alteration processes of ancient materials. This work led to the development of an optimized multi-spectral microscopy set-up. The optical development of an homogeneous illumination, the optimisation of detection and the radiometric calibration of the set-up led to quantitative photoluminescence images. This set-up has been optimized to respond at best to archaeological and cultural heritage questions with a topological, chemical, electronic and crystalline analysis. Those new instrumental developments were tested on real systems made of wide-bandgap semiconductors. By studying historical artists' pigments composed of zinc oxide (ZnO), we have shown that the photoluminescence properties allow discriminating homogeneous pigments at macro-scale from the heterogeneity oh the photoluminescence response at the grain scale. Two copperbasedarchaeological artefacts and a bronze slag were studied. Particularly, the study of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) pointed out the considerable interest of multi-spectral photoluminescence analysis to retrieve the operational sequence of metallurgy and to provide new information for a better understanding of alteration processes.This work demonstrated the potential of this new methodology and the interest to develop such a method for ancient materials, that are characterized by a strong heterogeneity at successive scales

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to provide a methodology for approaching and interpreting ancient Egyptian cultural landscapes using the Oryx Nome as its case study. By bringing together textual, archaeological and geoarchaeological evidence a more holistic impression of the region during the Middle Kingdom is suggested. Considerations of how natural forms and processes within the environment contribute towards the formation of cultural landscapes as well as how the local inhabitants continued to redevelop their surroundings, create a sense of geographic identity and enculture their landscapes are also discussed. Ultimately, this thesis proposes that with a greater knowledge of an area’s ecological past archaeologists are better equipped to prioritise physical investigation of broad areas of the Egyptian floodplain in order to unlock the stories of those that once inhabited it.

Mackenzie, Vanessa E. "Egypt, Rome and Aegyptophilia : rethinking Egypt's relationship with ancient Rome through material culture." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2011. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/50218/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned to demonstrate that Egypt had an important part to play in the formation of the Roman empire. There is a tendency for Classical scholarship to discuss Rome’s relationship with Egypt in terms which fall very far short of the way in which Rome’s encounters with Greek culture are treated. Within scholarship today, any perceived problems with Egypt are still often overstated, while any respect which the Romans may have held for Egyptian culture is dismissed, underplayed or only grudgingly accepted. I intend to re-appraise certain aspects of Egyptian/Egyptianising material culture in order to demonstrate that while some areas of the Roman literary corpus are scattered with apparently derogatory remarks about Egypt, the material evidence tells a quite different story. The aim of this thesis is to examine Egyptian/Egyptianising material culture in order to put the evidence of written texts into a fuller cultural context and perspective. I shall take a chronological approach and intend to focus primarily on artefacts found in the public sphere. The exception will be Chapter Four in which I shall discuss notions about Egypt in the private sphere. The final Chapter will conclude with Hadrian’s era in which the Villa at Tivoli may be seen as an expression of the merging of aspects of both public and private. Octavian’s so-called ‘propaganda’ campaign is central to the question of how scholarship deals with encounters between Egypt and Rome. After Egypt’s incorporation into the new empire of Rome, it was not in Octavian’s interests to continue a hostile disparagement of the country, given his status as pharaoh. I will argue that Octavian set in motion a rehabilitation of the country’s reputation by a policy of appeasement towards Egypt and by incorporating aspects of Egypt’s culture into Rome. It is my contention that Egypt had a greater role to play in the ideology of Rome’s empire, particularly through its first Emperor, than modern scholarship allows. I conclude that the ‘question of Egypt’ while complex, fluid and often contradictory, nevertheless was very much less negative than modern scholarship portrays.

Ancient Egypt is renowned for its extensive use of beauty products, but the image of Ancient Egypt modern media presents to consumers today barely expresses the importance of these products and practices. This paper details the production, application process, and function of these products and describes their importance in relation to modern society. The four functions of cosmetics (Religion, Aesthetics, Status, Health) are used to examine why beauty rituals are important to the Egyptian society, and modern beauty trends are contrasted with those of Ancient Egypt. Culture and industry movements and their catalysts explain the connection between past and present beauty ideals and standards. Overall, this paper determines Ancient Egypt’s profound impact on the modern beauty culture.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this thesis is to examine examples of information-gathering and political intelligence in Herodotus' Histories. In Herodotus' account, dialogues, anecdotes, and even inserted authorial commentary describe how leaders obtain politically relevant and timely information about other individuals and nations (intelligence). Herodotus links political decisions, based on gathered information, with his presentation of historical causation. In his multi-themed account, Herodotus provides tales of commissioned information-gathering missions, espionage, secret messages, and even disguises as nations and political leaders attempt to find out about their enemies and their allies. While the various anecdotes of information-gathering may not be historically precise, they may, in fact, infer real goals and problems of ancient Greek intelligence practices. The second purpose of this thesis is to explore Herodotus' use of cultural information within decision-making and statecraft. Herodotus presents nomos (culture or custom) as a compelling force for human behavior and military action. By articulating the importance of cultural information to political and military intelligence, Herodotus' work foreshadows modern intelligence theories and practices. This nomos-aspect of Herodotus' information-gathering anecdotes is especially relevant to current post-modern trend of culturally-based intelligence solutions to western counter-insurgency efforts.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die hoofdoel van hierdie tesis is om voorbeelde van inligtingversameling en politieke intellegensie in Herodotus se Histories te ondersoek. In Herodotus se verslae, dialoë, anekdotes en selfs ingevoegde ouktoriele kommentaar word daar beskryf hoe leiers polities relevante en aktuele inligting oor ander indiwidue en nasies (intellegensie) verkry. Herodotus verbind politieke besluite, gebaseer op ingewinde inligting, met sy voorstelling van historiese kousaliteitsleer. In sy vertellings met meervoudige temas, verskaf Herodotus verhale van opdragte wat gegee is vir inligtingsinwinningsendings, spioenasiewerk, geheime boodskappe en selfs vermommings waarmee nasionale en politieke leiers gepoog het om uit te vind oor hul vyande en bondgenote. Terwyl die verskeie anekdotes van inligtinginwinning moontlik nie histories presies is nie, is hulle dalk in werklikheid afgelei van regte doelstellings en probleme van antieke Griekse intellegensiepraktyke. Die tweede doel van hierdie tesis is om ondersoek in te stel na Herodotus se gebruik van kulturele inligting in besluitneming en regeerkuns. Herodotus stel nomos (kultuur of gebruik) as ‟n dwingende krag vir menslike gedrag en militêre aksie voor. Deur die belangrikheid van kulturele inligting vir politieke en militêre intellegensie te artikuleer, is Herodotus se werk ‟n voorafskaduwing van moderne intellegensie teorieë en praktyke. Hierdie nomos-aspek van Herodotus se inligtingsinwinningsanekdotes is veral relevant vir die huidige post-modernistiese neiging van kultuur-gebaseerde intellegensieoplossings vir westerse teen-insergensie pogings.

Eastlake, Laura Joanne. "Engendering antiquity : masculinity and ancient Rome in the Victorian cultural imagination." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2014. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/6087/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines nineteenth-century receptions of ancient Rome, with a specific focus on how those receptions were deployed to create useable models of masculinity. I suggest that Rome represents a contested space in the Victorian cultural imagination, with an array of possible scripts and narratives that could be harnessed to articulate masculine ideals, or to vilify perceived deviance from those ideals. Thus, this thesis presents a model of nineteenth-century manliness wherein masculine dominance is derived from the perceived authority to assign meaning to Rome as an image, and to determine its usage either as a badge of merit or a condemnation of certain gendered traits. After establishing in the opening chapter the centrality of Latin and a classical education to elite male identities at both individual and collective levels, the remainder of this thesis charts the place and function of the Roman parallel in the construction of several key ‘styles’ of nineteenth-century masculinity, from the man of letters and the industrialist, to the New Imperialist and the dandy. In this way I account for the multifarious and often contradictory treatments of the Roman example in Victorian literature where, for instance, the same Roman parallel was used to capture the martial virtue of Wellington as was used to condemn the deviance and degeneracy of Oscar Wilde. Understood through the lens of masculine identity, Victorian receptions of Rome become more comprehensible: Rome is contested because masculinity is contested; there are many competing visions of Rome because there are many competing styles of masculinity. Far from attempting to artificially homogenize or to impose a singular narrative of Victorian reception, the aim of this thesis is to explore its complexity and to explain its central conflict as a struggle over the codification of manliness whereby the cultural authority to assign meaning to the Roman age is equivalent to and indicative of the power to speak authoritatively about masculinity in the present.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates the meaning and usage of a particular set of linguistically related Talmudic terms in order to show how and in what cultural context the Talmud began to take shape in the emerging scholastic centers of rabbinic learning in late Sassanian Babylonia. The term tistayem is here defined as meaning, "let it be promulgated" and is thus shown to be inherently redactional in nature. By its very meaning and the way it is employed it speaks to the ordering of extant traditions in new literary frameworks. This term has analogs both in early sources dating from Amoraic disciple circles, in which an analogous term was used to indicate the process by which different reports of statements could be combined to achieve a more authoritative version of a tradition, and in later texts from Geonic times in which the term comes to denote a specific kind of scholastic practice in which traditions were ordered for easy memorization and promulgation. Additionally, parallels to these terms are found in the literatures of Syriac speaking Christians providing avenues for comparisons between these scholastic cultures which shared scripture, language and similar modes of study as worship. Finally, this study demonstrates the ways in which increasing sophistication in usage of these terms mirrors increasing academization during the Talmudic period. As such, evidence is marshalled in support of a more gradual model of the redaction of the Talmud.

Full textAbstract:
Jusqu'à présent, l'étude de la danse ancienne - carole médiévale, basses danses des xvème et xvième siècles - a toujours été prise en charge soit par des danseurs qui n'étaient pas chercheurs, soit par des universitaires qui ne dansaient pas. Les uns comme les autres se sont par ailleurs dispensés d'interroger les traditions populaires francaises, dont certaines ont pourtant conservé jusqu'au xxeme siècle des formes de danse, des logiques musicales, et des facons de faire qui sont celles du moyen-âge central et de la renaissance : récits chantés et dansés en rond par l'ensemble d'une communauté, structures strophiques et affabulation des chansons à danser, chant responsorial partagé entre "chante-avant" et choeur, etc. Y. Guilcher suggère d'abord en quoi cette recherche repose sur des postulats contestables, s'accommode de problématiques hasardeuses, et débouche sur des certitudes illusoires. Danseur et ethnologue, formé dans l'enquête de terrain au contact des derniers temoins paysans d'une culture de type traditionnel (Basse-Bretagne, landes de Gascogne), il propose une relecture des documents anciens à la lumière d'une telle expérience, montrant qu'elle résout mainte contradiction considérée jusqu'ici comme insurmontable (relation musique-mouvement dans les basses danses du xvème siècle en cantus firmus, rapport structure-performance dans le rondet de carole, etc. ) cette étude s'accompagne d'une réflexion méthodologique incluant une critique de la démarche elle-mêmeUntil today, those who undertook to study ancient dances were always either dancers, ill-equipped for historical research, or historians without any dancing experience. Moreover, they all neglected to look into french popular traditions and yet some of these traditions have retained up to the twentieth century some forms of dancing and an experience in singing for dances that still belong to a mediaeval or renaissance logic in dancing and singing. As a dancer and ethnohistorian, Y. Guilcher offers a re-reading of ancient documents in the light of traditional milieux which challenges a number of deceptive certainties. He suggests solutions to many a contradiction so far judged insuperable, notably with regard to the relation between music and movement in fifteenth century "basses-danses" in cantus firmus, to the notion of chorus in the "rondet de carole" and to the apportionment of singing between the lead-singer and the rest of the dancers. Together with his research, Y. Guilcher carries on a methodological reflection including a criticism of his own research methodology

Full textAbstract:
The present study investigates attitudes towards and teachings about the end of life and the soul’s passage to the next world, as expressed in late antique religious tales in Greek, particularly from Egypt and the Sinai. The intellectual setting is that of Chalcedonian Christianity, but within those strictures there was scope for a range of creative treatments and imaginings of a topic which canonical Scripture touched upon in mostly vague terms or glancing allusions. While there was much speculation and discussion in what we may call formal theology, the use of arresting narrative, some of it with an almost dramatic character, gave exponents of doctrine the ability to reach a wider audience in a more penetrating and persuasive way. And, as the number of scriptural allusions here will make clear, it was possible to develop ideas and images within the large gaps left by Holy Writ which were nevertheless not inconsonant with the same.
Coupled with the relative freedom allowed for presentations of a universal (death) was an urgency to do so which was particular to the time (one of sweeping social and political changes within, and threats to, the empire). We consider here the connection between the universal and the particular, and some of the most important approaches taken to the subject.
This work builds upon that of a number of scholars, including Derek Krueger, John Wortley, Phil Booth, André Binggeli, Elizabeth Castelli and Aron Gurevich. The first and last chapters of the dissertation are given to thematic treatment of the moments immediately before and immediately after death. The second, third and fourth chapters are each dedicated to one of the three most influential ascetic writers of the period: John Klimakos, John Moschos, and Anastasios of Sinai. We look at how their presentations of death not only frame the ideals of monastic life but to record for posterity the fading ways of a changing world.Classics
