Sacred Waters A Cross-Cultural Compendium of Hallowed Springs and Holy Wells

Sacred Waters A Cross-Cultural Compendium of Hallowed Springs and Holy Wells

Describing sacred waters and their associated traditions in over thirty countries and across multiple time periods this book identifies patterns in panhuman hydrolatry. Supplying life’s most basic daily need freshwater sources were likely the earliest sacred sites and the first protected and contested resource. Guarded by taboos rites and supermundane forces freshwater sources have also been considered thresholds to otherworlds. Often associated also with venerated stones trees and healing flora sacred water sources are sites of biocultural diversity. Addressing themes that will shape future water research this volume examines cultural perceptions of water’s sacrality that can be employed to foster resilient human–environmental relationships in the growing water crises of the twenty-first century. The work combines perspectives from anthropology archaeology classics folklore geography geology history literature and religious studies. | Sacred Waters A Cross-Cultural Compendium of Hallowed Springs and Holy Wells

Maria of Austria Holy Roman Empress (1528-1603) Dynastic Networker

Maria of Austria Holy Roman Empress (1528-1603) Dynastic Networker

Maria of Austria was one of the longest surviving Renaissance Empresses but until now has received little attention by biographers. This book explores her life actions and management of domestic affairs which became a feared example of how an Empress could control alternative spheres of power. The volume traces the path of a Castilian orphan infanta raised among her mother’s Portuguese ladies-in-waiting and who spent thirty years of marriage between the imperial courts of Prague and Vienna. Empress Maria encapsulates the complex dynastic functioning of the Habsburgs: devotedly married to her cousin Maximilian II Maria had constant communication with her father Charles V and her brother Philip II while preserving her Spanish background. Her unique intertwining of roles and positions allows a fresh approach to female agency and the discussion of current issues: the rules of dynastic entente the negotiation of discreet political roles for royal women the reassessment of informal diplomacy and the creation of dynastic networks parallel to the embassies. With chronological chapters discussing Empress Maria’s roles such as infanta regent Empress and a widow this volume is the perfect resource for scholars and students interested in the history of gender court culture and early modern Central Europe. | Maria of Austria Holy Roman Empress (1528-1603) Dynastic Networker

Historicising Heritage and Emotions The Affective Histories of Blood Stone and Land

Historicising Heritage and Emotions The Affective Histories of Blood Stone and Land

Historicising Heritage and Emotions examines how heritage is connected to and between people and places through emotion both in the past and today. Discussion is focused on the overlapping categories of blood (families and bloodlines) stone (monuments and memorials) and land (landscape and places imbued with memories) with the contributing authors exploring the ways in which emotions invest heritage with affective power and the transformative effects of this power in individual community and cultural contexts. The 13 chapters that make up the volume take examples from the premodern and modern eras and from two connected geographical regions the United Kingdom and Australia and the Pacific. Each chapter seeks to identify historicise and contextualise the processes of heritage and the emotional regimes at play locating the processes within longer historical and transnational genealogies and critically appraising them as part of broader cultural currents. Theoretically grounded in new approaches to the history of emotions and critical heritage studies the analysis challenges the traditional scholarly focus on heritage in its modern forms offering multifaceted premodern and modern case studies that demonstrate heritage and emotion to have complex and vibrant histories. Offering transhistorical and multidisciplinary discussion around the ways in which we can talk about discuss categorise and theorise heritage and emotion in different historical contexts Historicising Heritage and Emotions is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in heritage emotions and history. | Historicising Heritage and Emotions The Affective Histories of Blood Stone and Land

Godfrey of Bouillon Duke of Lower Lotharingia Ruler of Latin Jerusalem c.1060-1100

Godfrey of Bouillon Duke of Lower Lotharingia Ruler of Latin Jerusalem c.1060-1100

This book offers a new appraisal of the ancestry and career of Godfrey of Bouillon (c. 1060-1100) a leading participant in the First Crusade (1096-99) and the first ruler of Latin Jerusalem (1099-1100) the polity established by the crusaders after they captured the Holy City. While previous studies of Godfrey’s life have tended to focus on his career from the point at which he joined the crusade this book adopts a more holistic approach situating his involvement in the expedition in the light of the careers of his ancestors and his own activities in Lotharingia the westernmost part of the kingdom of Germany. The findings of this enquiry shed new light on the repercussions of a range of critical developments in Latin Christendom in the eleventh and early twelfth centuries including the impact of the ‘Investiture Conflict’ in Lotharingia the response to the call for the First Crusade in Germany Godfrey’s influence upon the course of the crusade his role in its leadership and his activities during the initial phases of Latin settlement in the Holy Land in its aftermath. | Godfrey of Bouillon Duke of Lower Lotharingia Ruler of Latin Jerusalem c. 1060-1100

An Archaeology of Ancash Stones Ruins and Communities in Andean Peru

An Archaeology of Ancash Stones Ruins and Communities in Andean Peru

An Archaeology of Ancash is a well–illustrated synthesis of the archaeology of North Central Peru and specifically the stone structures of the Ancash region. All the major cultures of highland Ancash built impressive monuments with no other region of South America showing such an early and continuous commitment to stone carving. Drawing on Lau’s extensive experience as an archaeologist in highland Peru this book reveals how ancient groups of the Central Andes have used stone as both a physical and symbolic resource uncovering the variety of experiences and meanings which marked the region’s special engagement with this material. An abundant raw resource in the Andes stone was used for monuments sculptures and other valuables such as carved monoliths which were crucial to the emergence of civilization in the region and religious objects from magical charms to ancestor effigies. Detailing the ways stone has played both an everyday and an extraordinary part in ancient social life Lau also examines how cultural dispositions towards this fundamental material have changed over time and considers how contemporary engagements with these stone remains have the potential to create and regenerate communities. With an ample selection of color photos which bring these sites and artifacts to life An Archaeology of Ancash is an essential guide to the key monuments places and objects that distinguish this region and its rich archaeological heritage. | An Archaeology of Ancash Stones Ruins and Communities in Andean Peru

An Anthropology of the Qur’an

An Anthropology of the Qur’an

This book presents an anthropological study of the Qur’an offering an unprecedented challenge to some of the epistemological and metaphysical assumptions of the tawḥīdic discourses. Combining primary textual materials and anthropological analysis this book examines transcendence as a core principle of the Qur’an uniquely signified in the divine name al-Quddūs (the Holy). It shows how the tawḥīdic representations of Allah constitute an inversion of this attribute; examines how this inversion has been conceived authorized and maintained; and demonstrates how it has affected Islamic thinking and practices especially as relates to authority. This book also explores how a return to the Qur’anic primacy of God’s otherness as al-Quddūs can influence Islamic thinking and practices moving forward. Therefore it will be highly useful to scholars of Islamic Studies philosophical theology Qur’anic studies political science ethics anthropology and religious studies. | An Anthropology of the Qur’an

Praising His Name In The Dance Spirit Possession in the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work in Trinidad West Indies

Praising His Name In The Dance Spirit Possession in the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work in Trinidad West Indies

The author provides a detailed portrait of the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work two religions that share a common basis in the traditional religion of the Yoruba in West Africa. Specifically the author studies the phenomenon of spirit possession an integral aspect of worship in both religions. In the Spiritual Baptist Faith a person who is possessed by the Holy Spirit retains his or her own identity while in Orisha Work those who are possessed by the orishas (spirits) become the spirits. Both types of possession are based on the Yoruba concept of self in which identity is dependent on the spirit which animates a physical body. This common basis of religions enables the respective populations to interact extensively and explains why an individual can experience both types of spiritual possession. | Praising His Name In The Dance Spirit Possession in the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work in Trinidad West Indies

Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

How does God's involvement with the generation of Holy Scripture and its use in the life of the Christian church figure into the human work of Scripture interpretation? This is the central question that this book seeks to address. In critical conversation with the influential hermeneutic programs of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei Topping demonstrates how God's agency has been marginalized in the task of Scripture interpretation. Divine involvement with the Bible is bracketed out (Barr) rendered in generic terms (Ricoeur) or left implicit (Frei) in these depictions of the hermeneutic field. The result is that each of these hermeneutic programs is less than a ’realist’ interpretative proposal. Talk of God is eclipsed by the terminal consideration of human realities. Topping argues for the centrality of doctrinal description in a lively theological understanding of Scripture interpretation for the life of the church. | Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

God's Order and Natural Law The Works of the Laudian Divines

God's Order and Natural Law The Works of the Laudian Divines

This title was first published in 2002. This book fills an important gap in the theological interpretation of the Laudian divines. Iain MacKenzie presents the theology of the Anglican theologians of the early 17th century exploring the concept of order first in God but then in creation in its relation to the Creator and then examining the working out of this concept based in theology in civil and ecclesiastical structures and practice. Mapping the Laudian divines' perceptions of how order primarily and necessarily resides in God existing as Father Son and Holy Spirit this book sets out the essential and necessarily practical application of theology as seen by 17th century theologians and traces the legacy which they have left. This theological as opposed to a merely historical or literary study of this important period for the development of society will be of particular value to theologians historians and those concerned with the intellectual history of the 17th century. | God's Order and Natural Law The Works of the Laudian Divines

The Religion of the Peacock Angel The Yezidis and Their Spirit World

The Religion of the Peacock Angel The Yezidis and Their Spirit World

Based in Iraq Syria and Turkey the Yezidi people claim their religion - a unique combination of Christian Islamic and historical faiths - to be the oldest in the world. Yezidi identity centres on their religion Sharfadin which has evolved into a highly complex pantheon of one God with many incarnations the chief of whom is Melek Taus the Peacock Angel. The Yezidi faith can be traced to a range of pre-Islamic belief systems such as Sufism some extreme Shi'ite sects Gnosticism and other traditions surviving from the ancient world. This particular formulation has served to unify Yezidi religious identity and ethnicity. Based on extensive fieldwork The Religion of the Peacock Angel presents the first detailed examination of the Yezidi pantheon. The idea of one God and his chief incarnations is first analysed then the various 'deity figures ' saints holy patrons and divinized personalities in the Yezidi belief system are considered in the context of related religious traditions. The study determines the place of all these characters in the system of the Yezidi faith defining their main functions features and genealogies. | The Religion of the Peacock Angel The Yezidis and Their Spirit World

Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem The Jerusalem Old City Initiative

Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem The Jerusalem Old City Initiative

‘Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem’ is the first in a series of three books which collectively present the work of the Jerusalem Old City Initiative or JOCI a major Canadian-led Track Two diplomatic effort undertaken between 2003 and 2014. JOCI’s raison d’être was to find sustainable governance solutions for the Old City of Jerusalem arguably the most sensitive and intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. ‘Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem’ includes a series of studies that place JOCI within its historical setting and explain the theoretical context of Track Two diplomacy. The book then proceeds to present the Initiative's culminating documents which outline in detail its proposed Special Regime governance model. Until now the proposals have remained unpublished and available only to a limited audience of key stakeholders. Presenting the information in an accessible format this book will contribute positively to the wider conversation on Jerusalem especially with respect to the longstanding conflict over control and governance of this holy city. It will therefore be of value to several audiences from the policy-making community to the various traditions found in academia. | Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem The Jerusalem Old City Initiative

The Realism of Piero della Francesca

The Realism of Piero della Francesca

The fifteenth-century Italian artist Piero della Francesca painted a familiar world. Roads wind through hilly landscapes run past farms sheds barns and villages. This is the world in which Piero lived. At the same time Piero’s paintings depict a world that is distant. The subjects of his pictures are often Christian and that means that their setting is the Holy Land a place Piero had never visited. The Realism of Piero della Francesca studies this paradoxical aspect of Piero’s art. It tells the story of an artist who could think of the local churches palaces and landscapes in and around his hometown of Sansepolcro as miraculously built replicas of the monuments of Jerusalem. Piero’s application of perspective to which he devoted a long treatise was meant to convince his contemporaries that his paintings report on things that Piero actually observed. Piero’s methodical way of painting seems to have offered no room for his own fantasy. His art looks deliberately styleless. This book uncovers a world in which painting needed to validate itself by cultivating the illusion that it reported on things observed instead of things imagined by the artist. Piero’s painting claimed truth in a world of increasing uncertainties.

Critique of Psychoanalytic Reason Studies in Lacanian Theory and Practice

Critique of Psychoanalytic Reason Studies in Lacanian Theory and Practice

The highly arcane wisdom produced by the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan is either endlessly regurgitated and recited as holy writ by his numerous acolytes or radically dismissed as unpalatable nonsense by his equally countless detractors. Contrary to these common strictly antagonistic yet uniformly uncritical practices this book offers a meticulous critique of some key theoretical and clinical aspects of Lacan’s expansive oeuvre testing their consistency examining their implications and investigating their significance. In nine interrelated chapters the book highlights both the flaws and the strengths of Lacan’s ideas in areas of investigation that are as crucial as they are contentious within as well as outside psychoanalysis. Drawing on a vast range of source materials including many unpublished archival documents it teases out controversial issues such as money organisational failure and lighthearted gay thinking and it relies on the highest standards of scholarly excellence to develop its arguments. At the same time the book does not presuppose any prior knowledge of Lacanian psychoanalysis on the part of the reader but allows its readership to indulge in the joys of in-depth critical analysis trans-disciplinary creative thinking and persistent questioning. This book will appeal to researchers and students alike in psychoanalytic studies and philosophy as well as all those interested in French theory and the history of ideas. | Critique of Psychoanalytic Reason Studies in Lacanian Theory and Practice

The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui

The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui

Achieved at the height of the Crusades the Christian conquests of Santarém in 1147 by King Afonso I and of Alcácer do Sal in 1217 by Portuguese forces and northern European warriors on their way by sea to Palestine were crucial events in the creation of the independent kingdom of Portugal. The two texts presented here survive in their unique thirteenth-century manuscript copies appended to a codex belonging to one of Europe’s most important monastic library collections accumulated in the Cistercian abbey of Alcobaça founded c. 1153 by Bernard of Clairvaux. Accompanied by comprehensive introductions and here translated into English for the first time these extraordinary texts are based on eyewitness testimony of the conquests. They contain much detail for the military historian including data on operational tactics and the ideology of Christian holy war in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Literary historians too will be delighted by the astonishing styles deployed demonstrating considerable authorial flamboyance flair and innovation. While they are likely written by Goswin of Bossut the search for authorship yields an impressive array of literary friends and associates including James of Vitry Thomas of Cantimpré Oliver of Paderborn and Caesarius of Heisterbach. | The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui

The Evolution of Paleolithic Technologies

The Evolution of Paleolithic Technologies

The Evolution of Paleolithic Technologies provides a novel perspective on long-term trajectories of evolutionary change in Paleolithic tools and tool-makers. Members of the human lineage have been producing stone tools for more than 3 million years. These artefacts provide key evidence for important evolutionary developments in hominin behaviour and cognition. Avoiding conventional approaches based on progressive stages of development this book instead examines global trends in six separate dimensions of technological behaviour between 2. 6 million and 10 000 years ago. Combining these independent trends results in both a broader and a more finely punctuated perspective on key intervals of change in hominin behaviour. To draw this picture together the concluding section explores behavioural cognitive and demographic implications of developments in material culture and technological procedures at seven key intervals during the Pleistocene. Researchers interested in Paleolithic archaeology will find this book invaluable. It will also be of interest to archaeologists researching stone tool technology and to students of human evolution and behavioural change in prehistory.

Preaching the Crusades to the Eastern Mediterranean Propaganda Liturgy and Diplomacy 1305–1352

Preaching the Crusades to the Eastern Mediterranean Propaganda Liturgy and Diplomacy 1305–1352

Preaching was an integral part of the crusade movement. This book focuses on the efforts of the first four Avignon popes to organize crusade preaching campaigns to the Eastern Mediterranean and on the role of the secular and regular clergy in their implementation. Historians have treated the fall of Acre in 1291 as an arbitrary boundary in crusader studies for far too long. The period 1305–1352 was particularly significant for crusade preaching yet it has not been studied in detail. This volume thus constitutes an important addition to the flourishing field of late medieval crusade historiography. The core of the book deals with two interlocking themes: the liturgy for the Holy Land and the popular response to crusade preaching between the papacies of Clement V and Clement VI. The book analyses the evolving use of the liturgy for the crusade in combination with preaching and it illustrates the catalytic role of these measures in driving popular pro-crusade sentiments. A key theme in the account is the analysis of the surviving crusade sermons of the Parisian theologians from the era. Critical editions of these previously neglected propagandistic texts are a valuable addition to our corpus of papal correspondence relating to the crusades in the later Middle Ages. This book will be of interest both to specialized historians and to students of late medieval crusading. | Preaching the Crusades to the Eastern Mediterranean Propaganda Liturgy and Diplomacy 1305–1352

Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City

Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City

In 1904 only the unimposing tomb of a local holy man occupied the site chosen by British officials for the construction of a modern seaport to facilitate the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan's expanded commerce. Built where no urban center had previously existed Port Sudan was the quintessential colonial city created and designed by Europeans who organized its municipal services and devised the regulations for its day-to-day management. The advantages of a created city were clear: The colonial government did not need to accommodate an indigenous urban population with its own existing social structures institutions and cultural values. This study examines the efforts of Port Sudan's builders and early administrators to tailor the urban environment to their own notions of the ideal colonial city–how it should look how it should function and how its human components should interact. It then focuses on the inter-war period describing how the rapid growth of Port Sudan and its harbor posed insurmountable challenges to the maintenance of this ideal. Although the Sudanese population within the city steadily increased their exclusion from any meaningful participation in municipal affairs during these troubled years left them physically and psychologically isolated. The situation began to change after World War II but as the study reveals conditions in the post-war era only compounded long-standing political economic and social problems in Port Sudan ensuring that the city the Sudanese inherited in 1956 still bore the marks of its colonial origins. | Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City
