Women in the Classical World CC 4V

Women in the Classical World CC 4V

The study of women in Graeco-Roman antiquity has a long history but many recent developments—prominent among which are the rise of feminist theory and theoretical and interpretive work in material culture—have transformed approaches to the study of women’s lived experiences in antiquity. This four-volume collection brings together the best scholarship that has both established the field and moved it forward. The articles collected here are interdisciplinary bringing into conversation the full range of evidence for women in the classical world: historical literary legal medical inscriptional mythic artistic (e. g. sculpture frescoes paintings terracottas) and the material found in archaeological excavations including evidence from burials finds from houses and the remains of food processing and textile production. Ideology is relevant to each volume as both Greek and Roman societies had highly developed ideologies and cultural ideals that exercised profound and pervasive influence over women’s lives. Social class is implicated in these ideologies in ways that are made evident in every genre of source material. Women in the Classical World edited by two of the leading scholars in the field presents in one reference source a complete picture of women in Ancient Greece and Rome based on a vast of array of sources. This material has not been collected together in one place before. | Women in the Classical World CC 4V

The History of Science

The History of Science

Science is one of the main features of the contemporary world and shapes our lives to an extent that has no precedents in history. Yet science as we know it today is the outcome of contingent social processes and its global success is far from self-explanatory. How did it happen? How did science emerge in history and became the most authoritative source of knowledge available in late modern societies? This set of volumes addresses these crucial questions through a selection of exemplary publications spanning antiquity to the present day. The reader will find an effective survey of the best scholarship in this rapidly growing field and a map of the main revolutions as well as the long-term continuities that have characterized our understanding the world and our attempts to control it. The collection brings together areas of inquiry that have become increasingly distant and specialized such as the history of antique science or Cold War studies within broader narratives of the making of the modern world. They also reassess the traditional assumption of the exclusively Greek and Western origins of modern science situating relevant knowledge practices and artefacts within the global networks that sustained them: in ancient as well as in modern times. The gathered materials address key historiographical issues such as the relationship between science magic and religion; the role of science in nation-building processes; and the relationship between science and technology. | The History of Science

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and exploitation (and sometimes genocide) of the original inhabitants of colonized nations it was not until the late twentieth century that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then Indigenous Peoples (also known as ‘First Nations’ and ‘First Peoples’) were routinely denied any form of juridical identity. Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed balanced and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the subject’s vast and dispersed literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical approaches the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major works in a ‘one-stop’ resource to enable users to understand how the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an oppressive rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index and is supplemented by introductions to each volume newly written by the editors which place the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital resource by students scholars policy-makers and practitioners.
