Gender Violence in the American Southwest (AD 1100-1300) Mothers Sisters Wives Slaves

Gender Violence in the American Southwest (AD 1100-1300) Mothers Sisters Wives Slaves

This volume uses osteobiography and individual-level analyses of burials retrieved from the La Plata River Valley (New Mexico) to illustrate the variety of roles that Ancestral Pueblo women played in the past (circa AD 1100–1300). The experiences of women as a result of their gender age and status over the life course are reconstructed with consideration given to the gendered forms of violence they were subject to and the consequences of social violence on health. The authors demonstrate the utility of a modern bioarchaeological approach that combines social theories about gender and violence with burial data in conjunction with information from many other sources—including archaeological reconstruction of homes and communities ethnohistoric resources available on Pueblo society and Pueblo women’s contemporary voices. This analysis presents a more accurate nuanced and complex picture of life in the past for mothers sisters wives and captives. | Gender Violence in the American Southwest (AD 1100-1300) Mothers Sisters Wives Slaves

La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

This book focuses on the role of La MaMa Experimental Theatre within Avant-garde theater during the 1960s and 1970s. This study investigates the involvement of the Off-Off Broadway circuit in the Avant-garde experimentations both in the United States (New York specifically) and in Europe. This exploration shows the two-way influence – between Europe and the United States – testified by documents gathered in years of archival research. In this relevant artistic exchange La MaMa (and Ellen Stewart as its founder and artistic director) emerges as a key element. La MaMa’s companies brought to Europe the American culture and the New York underground culture while their members learnt European training techniques by attending workshops or taking part in the research of Eugenio Barba Jerzy Grotowski and Peter Brook and brought their principles back to the United States. This book goes through a chronological path that presents some key cases of collaboration between the above-mentioned European masters and some La MaMa’s artists and companies: Tom O ’Horgan and La MaMa Repertory Troupe the Open Theatre Andrei Serban and The Great Jones Repertory Company La MaMa Plexus. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theater and performance studies. | La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

Archaeology of Religion in South Asia Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina Religious Centres in Bihar and Bengal c. AD 600–1200

Archaeology of Religion in South Asia Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina Religious Centres in Bihar and Bengal c. AD 600–1200

In the religious landscape of early medieval (c. AD 600-1200) Bihar and Bengal poly-religiosity was generally the norm than an exception which entailed the evolution of complex patterns of inter-religious equations. Buddhism Brahmanism and Jainism not only coexisted but also competed for social patronage forcing them to enter into complex interactions with social institutions and processes. Through an analysis of the published archaeological data this work explores some aspects of the social history of Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina temples and shrines and Buddhist stūpas and monasteries in early medieval Bihar and Bengal. This archaeological history of religions questions many ‘established’ textual reconstructions and enriches our understanding of the complex issue of the decline of Buddhism in this area.

Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

The study of Syria as a Roman province has been neglected by comparison with equivalent geographical regions such as Italy Egypt Greece and even Gaul. It was however one of the economic powerhouses of the empire from its annexation until after the empire’s dissolution. As such it clearly deserves some particular consideration but at the same time it was a major contributor to the military strength of the empire notably in the form of the recruitment of auxiliary regiments several dozens of which were formed from Syrians. Many pagan gods such as Jupiter Dolichenus and Jupiter Heliopolitanus Dea Syra and also Judaism originated in Syria and reached the far bounds of the empire. This book is a consideration based on original sources of the means by which Syrians whose country was only annexed to the empire in 64 BC saw their influence penetrate into all levels of society from private soldiers and ordinary citizens to priests and to imperial families. | Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

The Decadence of Delphi The Oracle in the Second Century AD and Beyond

The Decadence of Delphi The Oracle in the Second Century AD and Beyond

Examining the final years of Delphic consultation this monograph argues that the sanctuary operated on two connected yet distinct levels: the oracle which was in decline and the remaining religious political and social elements at the site which continued to thrive. In contrast to Delphi other oracular counterparts in Asia Minor such as Claros and Didyma rose in prestige as they engaged with new theological issues. Issues such as these were not presented to Apollo at Delphi and this lack of expertise could help to explain why Delphi began to decline in importance. The second and third centuries AD witnessed the development of new ways of access to divine wisdom. Particularly widespread were the practices of astrology and the Neoplatonic divinatory system theurgy. This monograph examines the correlation between the rise of such practices and the decline of oracular consultation at Delphi analyzing several examples from the Chaldean Oracles to demonstrate the new interest in a personal soteriological religion. These cases reveal the transfer of Delphi’s sacred space which further impacted the status of the oracle. Delphi’s interaction with Christianity in the final years of oracular operation is also discussed. Oracular utterances with Christian overtones are examined along with archaeological remains which demonstrate a shift in the use of space at Delphi from a pagan Panhellenic center to one in which Christianity is accepted and promoted. | The Decadence of Delphi The Oracle in the Second Century AD and Beyond

Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

The Melitian schism originated in the context of the Diocletianic persecution. In 306 under dramatic circumstances Melitius of Lycopolis decided to challenge his superior the bishop of Alexandria. An attempt at reconciliation proposed by the Council of Nicaea (325) was unsuccessful and the Melitians as they were now called often associated with the Arians would become favourite targets of a bitter and polemical Athanasius of Alexandria (328-373). The schism continued to exist in Egypt until the middle of the eighth century. Notwithstanding the rich source material including original documents and papyri the dissidence has received relatively little scholarly attention. This collection of essays by Hans Hauben focuses on the well-documented earliest phase of the schism from the persecution to the Synod of Tyre (335). It elucidates the chronology of the schism the decisions of Nicaea the internal organisation of the parallel church and the tensions in Alexandria caused by its repression as well as interpretative problems posed by the sources. The essays constitute an in-depth assessment of the causes development and meaning of the Melitian schism and together with additional related studies also included in the volume they paint a rich picture of early Christian society. | Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

From Obscurity to Light Women in Early Medieval Orissa (Seventh to Twelfth Centuries AD)

From Obscurity to Light Women in Early Medieval Orissa (Seventh to Twelfth Centuries AD)

This book attempts to reintegrate women into the socio-political milieu of early medieval Orissa. Its sources are inscriptions mostly Sanskrit that date from the seventh century to the end of the reign of the Imperial Ganga ruler Anantavarman Codagangadeva (CE 1078-1147). The evidence indicates that royal and non-royal women had varying but undeniably important roles to play in the socio-political fabric of this prominent regional entity. The Bhauma-Kara dynasty (c. mid-eighth/ninth-late tenth century) that witnessed the rule of six women four of them in succession is a case in point. In addition the palpable presence of several other royal and non-royal women is consistently documented in the epigraphic record. This is an aspect that has received very little attention in secondary works thereby rendering this study a pioneering one. The work follows on from Rangachari’s earlier Invisible Women Visible Histories: Gender Polity and Society in North India (7th to 12th century ad) which had focused on important gendered aspects of early medieval north India through an analysis of literary and epigraphic sources of Kashmir Kanauj Bengal and Bihar. The invisibilization of women whereby their presence is routinely ignored or trivialized was similarly its underlying essence.

Sor Juana In de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Sor Juana In de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Each of the book's five chapters evokes a colonial Mexican cultural and intellectual sphere: the library anatomy and medicine spirituality classical learning and publishing and printing. Using an array of literary texts and historical documents and alongside secondary historical and critical materials the author Stephanie Kirk demonstrates how Sor Juana used her poetry and other works to inscribe herself within the discourses associated with these cultural institutions and discursive spheres and thus challenge the male exclusivity of their precepts and precincts. Kirk illustrates how Sor Juana subverted the masculine character of erudition writing herself into an all-male community of scholars. From there Sor Juana clearly questions the gender politics at play in her exclusion and undermines what seems to be the inextricable link previously forged between masculinity and institutional knowledge. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico opens up new readings of her texts through the lens of cultural and intellectual history and material culture in order to shed light on the production of knowledge in the seventeenth-century colonial Mexican society of which she was both a product and an anomaly. | Sor Juana In�de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Being the public voice of over 180 member organisations across nearly 90 countries La Vía Campesina the global peasant movement has planted itself firmly on the international scene. This book explores the internationalisation of the movement with a specific focus on the engagement of peasants in the processes of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS). Since the reform of the CFS in 2009 civil society actors engage in the policy processes of this UN Committee from a self-designed and autonomous global Civil Society Mechanism. The author sheds light on the strategies tensions debates and reconfigurations arising from rural actors moving between every day struggles in the fields and those of the UN arena. Whereas most theories in the dominant literature on social movements expect them to either disappear or institutionalise in a predetermined pattern the book presents empirical evidence that La Vía Campesina is building a much more sophisticated model. The direct participation of representatives of peasant organisations in the CFS is highlighted as a pioneering example of building a more complex inclusive and democratic foundation for global policy-making.

La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

Unable to secure a full livelihood in either Mexico or the United States migrants from the rural village of Napizaro in central Mexico must extend their families and their community across the border. The lives of Napizarenos demonstrate the difficulties of reproduction in a transnational context calling into question the way we think about households families and communities. La Casa de Mis Sueños examines the efforts of villagers from Napízaro to build their dream houses in Mexico through participation in transnational migration. New house designs reshape the spatial ordering of everyday life and are part of the recreation of social space in a changing economic and moral landscape. These changes have engendered conflict as migration usurps traditional routes to prosperity and success and as migrant houses become both the locus of growing consumerism and a site for heavily charged and contested ideas about family and community. This book is more than an engaging account of the realities that pervade one small community. It is an examination of the ways in which global processes penetrate the local the daily and the personal in rural Mexico. Above all it asserts the power of place as constitutive of the ways in which people create meaning in their lives. | La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

Dam Safety Management is a major concern during the entire lifetime cycle of a dam scheme. This is particularly true for the operational phase of the scheme that represents by far the longest period in its lifetime cycle. Bulletin 154 presented a general approach and concepts to be applied to dam operation. The current Bulletin 175 extends the developed concepts to all phases preceding the operational phase. Many risks associated with the operation of existing dams have their origins in other phases preceding the actual operation. Although there are numerous ICOLD Bulletins addressing technical aspects of planning design construction and commissioning of dams there is not a single Bulletin which covers the subject in a comprehensive manner. The current document is a first attempt to capture all relevant dam safety aspects in all preoperational phases by systematically characterizing the actors involved their roles the activities and complex interactions present in different phases of the dam lifecycle. An Overarching Safety Management System is specifically developed that can be applied to all actors involved. La gestion de la sécurité des barrages est une préoccupation majeure pendant tout le cycle de vie d'un projet de barrage. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour la phase opérationnelle du système qui représente de loin la période la plus longue de son cycle de vie. Le Bulletin 154 présente une approche générale et des concepts à appliquer à l'exploitation des barrages. Le Bulletin 175 actuel étend les concepts développés à toutes les phases précédant la phase d'exploitation. De nombreux risques associés à l'exploitation des barrages existants ont leur origine dans d'autres phases précédant l'exploitation proprement dite. Bien qu'il existe de nombreux bulletins ICOLD traitant des aspects techniques de la planification de la conception de la construction et de la mise en service des barrages il n'existe pas un seul bulletin qui couvre le sujet de manière exhaustive. Le document actuel est une première tentative de capturer tous les aspects pertinents de la sécurité des barrages dans toutes les phases pré-opérationnelles en caractérisant systématiquement les acteurs impliqués leurs rôles les activités et les interactions complexes présentes dans les différentes phases du cycle de vie du barrage. Un système global de gestion de la sécurité est spécifiquement développé et peut être appliqué à tous les acteurs impliqués. | Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio
