Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Can elites use cosmological imagery to sanction marital and slavery practices for their political aspirations? Can interactions between Late Antique legal systems be thought beyond "borrowings?" This work studies legal writings from the Zoroastrian, East Syrian, and Islamic traditions arguing that Late Antique matrimonial and slavery practices were significantly informed by cosmological imagery and repeatedly brought in line with the elites' political aspirations. It suggests that these legal traditions should be thought in a shared epistemic framework to account for the changes and meaningfulness of legal concepts and institutions and cannot simply be reduced to a narrative of borrowings. Instead, this book shows that interactions between Late Antique legal systems were more complex and characterized by patterns of negotiation and competition mirroring the various entanglements of the Late Antique citizen's life.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This study shows that Shakespeare's plays challenge a system of periodization that divides history into three distinct eras (antiquity, the Middle Ages, modernity). In Troilus and Cressida and The Two Noble Kinsmen, several conceptions of time and temporality are played through in a way that shows that the idea of linear time and progressive, teleological history upon which our concept of periodization is based, is inadequate to the complexities of temporal relations. Instead, these plays, being based on ancient sources that were rewritten many times throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, suggest an understanding of time that is best expressed with the help of the metaphor of the palimpsest. A palimpsest contains multiple temporal layers that are entangled and interwoven without hierarchy rather than successively or chronologically arranged. The question of period construction is thus posed performatively in these plays, with a special focus on the invention of the Middle Ages.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This volume assembles contributions from different academic perspectives (religious and Islamic studies, literary and theatre studies, theology, sociology and history) on modern manifestations of martyrdom in the diverse Middle Eastern religious traditions, including Islam, Christianity, Judaism and the Baha'i-faith. The latter is considered in more detail since it is often not included in comparative studies on the monotheistic religions. An excursus into the farer East composes the contribution on Mahatma Ghandi. The volume considers central sociological, philosophical and theological problems which lie at the heart of the phenomenon of martyrdom, the significance of martyrdom in different conflicts, the competing martyr figures which develop in the course of these conflicts as well as the accompanying representations in art and ritual. Special attention is directed to the transitions of traditional forms of martyr representation and the emergence of a global discourse on martyrdom, which can be noticed both in the dissemination of martyr practices as in the reactions to certain martyr events on a global scale. Revised presentations from the workshop "Traditions of Martyrdom in the Modern Middle East," held in October 2011 at the Center for Literary and Cultural Studies in Berlin, with additional contributions.
