Egyptology: Ancient Egypt in Medieval Arabic Writings (UCL Institute of Archaeology Publications)
by Okasha El DalyEgyptology: The Missing Millennium brings together for the first time the disciplines of Egyptology and Islamic Studies, seeking to overturn the conventional opinion of Western scholars that Moslims/Arabs had no interest in pre-Islamic cultures. This book examines a neglected period of a thousand years in the history of Egyptology, from the Moslem annexation of Egypt in the seventh century CE until the Ottoman conquest in the 16th century. Concentrating on Moslem writers, as it is usually Islam which incurs blame for cutting Egyptians off from their ancient heritage, the author shows not only the existence of a large body of Arabic sources on Ancient Egypt, but also their usefulness to Egyptology today. Using sources as diverse as the accounts of travelers and treasure hunters to books on alchemy, the author shows that the interest in ancient Egyptian scripts continued beyond classical writers, and describes attempts by medieval Arab scholars, mainly alchemists, to decipher the hieroglyph script. He further explores medieval Arab interest in Ancient Egypt, discussing the interpretations of the intact temples, as well as the Arab concept of Egyptian kingship and state administration—including a case study of Queen Cleopatra that shows how the Arabic romance of this queen differs significantly from Western views. This book will be of great interest to academics and students of archaeology, Islamic studies and Egyptology, as well as anyone with a general interest in Egyptian history.
Egyptomania: Our Three-Thousand Year Obsession with the Land of the Pharaohs
by Bob Brier“A delightful romp through key formative events that shaped our popular passion for all things ancient Egyptian.” —Peter Der Manuelian, Professor of Egyptology, Harvard UniversityWhen the Romans conquered Egypt, it was really Egypt that conquered the Romans. Cleopatra captivated both Caesar and Marc Antony and soon Roman ladies were worshipping Isis and wearing vials of Nile water around their necks. In this book, renowned Egyptologist Bob Brierexplores our three-thousand-year-old fascination with all things Egyptian—from ancient times to Napoleon’s Egypt Campaign, the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb, and beyond.In this original and groundbreaking book, Brier traces our fascination with mummies that seem to have cheated death and the iconic pyramids that have stood strong for millennia. He also includes twenty-four pages of color photos from his impressive collection of Egyptian memorabilia, which includes everything from Napoleon’s twenty volume Egypt encyclopedia to archeologist Howard Carter’s letters written as he was excavating the Valley of the Kings.
Egyptomaniacs: How We Became Obsessed with Ancient Epypt
by Nicky NielsenAn examination of the popular view of ancient Egypt as an exotic, esoteric, and mystical culture that questions if that view is entirely accurate.The Greek historian Hecataeus of Abdera declared during the 4th century BCE that the Egyptian civilization was unsurpassed in the arts and in good governance, surpassing even that of the Greeks. During the Renaissance, several ecclesiastical nobles, including the Borgia Pope Alexander VI claimed their descent from the Egyptian god Osiris. In the 1920s, the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings prompted one of the first true media frenzies in history. For thousands of years, the Pharaonic culture has been a source of almost endless fascination and obsession. But to what extent is the popular view of ancient Egypt at all accurate?In Egyptomaniacs: How We Became Obsessed With Ancient Egypt, Egyptologist Dr. Nicky Nielsen examines the popular view of Egypt as an exotic, esoteric, mystical culture obsessed with death and overflowing with mummies and pyramids. The book traces our obsession with ancient Egypt throughout history and methodically investigates, explains and strips away some of the most popular misconceptions about the Pharaohs and their civilization.Praise for Egyptomaniacs“I have always been attracted to and fascinated by Ancient Egypt. In this superb book, Nicky Nielsen explains why we are so caught up in what happened in Ancient Egypt.” —Books Monthly (UK)
Eheliche Partnerschaftsverläufe und -abbrüche bei türkeistämmigen Frauen in Deutschland: Eine quantitative Analyse zu den Kurzzeit- und Langzeitfolgen der Ehescheidung sowie den Bewältigungsbestrebungen
by Tijen MollenhauerMit ihrer retrospektiv angelegten quantitativen Studie zum Verlauf der Scheidungs- und Nachscheidungsphase türkeistämmiger Migrantinnen bedient Tijen Mollenhauer ein Desiderat sowohl der bisher kaum mit der geschlechterspezifischen Rolle geschiedener (türkeistämmiger) Migranten befassten Migrationsforschung als auch der kulturelle und ethnische Heterogenität weitgehend ausklammernden Scheidungsforschung. Fokussiert auf Unterschiede zwischen in Deutschland sozialisierten Frauen und Heiratsmigrantinnen zielt ihre Arbeit auf die scheidungsbedingten Kurzzeit- und Langzeitfolgen, die seitens der Frauen gewählten Bewältigungsbestrebungen sowie diesbezügliche Einflussfaktoren.
Eiffel's Tower
by Jill JonnesSince it opened in May 1889, the Eiffel Tower has become an iconic image of modern times: as much a beacon of technological progress as an enduring symbol of Paris and French culture. But as engineer Gustave Eiffel built the now-famous landmark to be the spectacular centrepiece of the 1889 World's Fair, he stirred up a storm of vitriol from Parisian tastemakers, law-suits and predictions of a certain structural calamity. A compelling account of the tower's creation as well as a superb portrait of Belle Epoque France.
Eight Bears: Mythic Past And Imperiled Future
by Gloria DickieA Best Book of the Year in The New Yorker, Economist, and Science News A Scientific American Best Staff Read Shortlisted for the Banff Centre Mountain Book Awards "Vivid and engrossing.… [A] celebration of beardom." —Richard Adams Carey, Wall Street Journal A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear’s story, whisking readers from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China’s panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations. Weaving together ecology, history, mythology, and a captivating account of her travels and observations, Dickie offers a closer look at our volatile relationship with these magnificent mammals. Engrossing and deeply reported, Eight Bears delivers a clear warning for what we risk losing if we don’t learn to live alongside the animals that have shaped our cultures, geographies, and stories.
Eight Domains of Phenomenology and Research Methods
by Henrik Gert LarsenEight Domains of Phenomenology and Research Methods is a unique text that explains how the foundational literature representing our lifeworld experience aligns theory with research methods. Maintaining focus on the core problem of phenomenological investigations, the author strives to bridge theory with applied research by critically reviewing examples from the applied literature. With the extensive use of the foundational literature’s original voices, the book elaborates on how renowned scholars such as Husserl, Heidegger, and Sartre argued their ideas. A range of diverse voices ia also explored through the perspectives of feminist and Black phenomenologists. The text then goes on to unpack the phenomenological methodologies with detailed explanations of signature techniques, hereunder the epoché and reduction from the perspectives of transcendental phenomenology, phenomenological psychology, and genetic (generative) phenomenology. Finally, it addresses the problem of articulating phenomenological research questions as well as interview questions that align with the different domains and methodologies. This book is a must read for postgraduate students, dissertation students, and qualitative researchers interested in conducting phenomenological research within social psychology, sociology, and education.
Eight Million Exiles: Missional Action Research and the Crisis of Forced Migration
by Christopher M. HaysHow researchers used Missional Action Research to make a real difference for displaced persons in Colombia Christian scholars are often motivated to live the gospel by serving the vulnerable. But how do we put our academic research to practical use to help those in need? Christopher M. Hays explains how his interdisciplinary team of theologians, social scientists, pastors, and local partners combined efforts to support internally displaced persons of Colombia. Over eight million people have been driven from their homes by violence perpetrated by paramilitary and guerilla groups in the past two decades. The Colombian government is unequipped to deal with the sheer magnitude of the crisis. To serve displaced persons in a more robust and holistic way, the Faith and Displacement project developed Missional Action Research. This innovative method incorporated direct leadership and participation from local churches and displaced persons with stakes in the research process. The resulting curriculum covered: • Training in trauma-informed mental health care • Harnessing the unrecognized skills and resources of the community • Empowering displaced people economically through microenterprises and other ventures • Supporting participants with effective spiritual and pastoral care Weaving survivors&’ firsthand testimony with interdisciplinary theology, Eight Million Exiles will impress readers with the urgency of this conflict and inspire them with the model developed to address it. Let a small seminary in Medellín show you how to make a tangible difference in vulnerable communities.
Eight O'Clock Ferry to the Windward Side: Seeking Justice in Guantánamo Bay
by Clive Stafford SmithEvery time human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith lands in Cuba, he takes the eight o'clock ferry to the windward side; his journey ends at Guantánamo Bay. One of the few people in the world who has ongoing independent access to the prison, Smith reveals the grotesque injustices that are perpetrated there in the name of national security-including the justifications created to legitimate the use of torture and the bureaucratic structures that have been put in place to shield prison authorities from legal accountability. <P><P>By bearing witness to the stories of the forty prisoners that he represents, Smith asks us to consider what is done to American democracy when the rule of law is jettisoned in the name of combating terrorism.
Eight Theories of Religion (Second Edition)
by Daniel L. PalsEight Theories of Religion, Second Edition, begins with Edward Burnett Tylor and James Frazer--two Victorian pioneers in anthropology and the comparative study of religion. It then considers the great "reductionist" approaches of Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim, and Karl Marx, all of whom have exercised wide influence up to the present day. The discussion goes on to examine the leading challenges to reductionism as articulated by sociologist Max Weber (new to this edition) and Romanian-American comparativist Mircea Eliade. Finally, it explores the newer methods and ideas arising from the African field studies of ethnographer E. E. Evans-Pritchard and the interpretive anthropology of Clifford Geertz.
Eight Women, Two Model Ts, and the American West
by Joanne WilkeIn 1924 eight young women drove across the American West in two Model T Fords. In nine weeks they traveled more than nine thousand unpaved miles on an extended car-camping trip through six national parks, "without a man or a gun along." It was the era of the flapper, but this book tells the story of a group of farm girls who met while attending Iowa's Teacher's College and who shared a "yen to see some things." A blend of oral and written history, adventure, memoir, and just plain heartfelt living, Eight Women is a story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Weaving together a granddaughter's essays with family stories and anecdotes from the 1924 trip, the book portrays four generations of women extending from nineteenth-century Norway to present-day Iowa-- and sets them loose across the western United States where the perils and practicalities of automotive travel reaffirm family connections while also celebrating individual freedom.
Eight Words for the Study of Expressive Culture
by Burt FeintuchGroup. Art. Text. Genre. Performance. Context. Tradition. Identity. No matter where we are--in academic institutions, in cultural agencies, at home, or in a casual conversation--these are words we use when we talk about creative expression in its cultural contexts. Eight Words for the Study of Expressive Culture is a thoughtful, interdisciplinary examination of the keywords that are integral to the formulation of ideas about the diversity of human creativity, presented as a set of essays by leading folklorists. Many of us use these eight words every day. We think with them. We teach with them. Much of contemporary scholarship rests on their meanings and implications. They form a significant part of a set of conversations extending through centuries of thought about creativity, meaning, beauty, local knowledge, values, and community. Their natural habitats range across scholarly disciplines from anthropology and folklore to literary and cultural studies and provide the framework for other fields of practice and performance as well. Eight Words for the Study of Expressive Culture is a much-needed study of keywords that are frequently used but not easily explained. Anchored by Burt Feintuch's cogent introduction, the book features essays by Dorothy Noyes, Gerald L. Pocius, Jeff Todd Titon, Trudier Harris, Deborah A. Kapchan, Mary Hufford, Henry Glassie, and Roger D. Abrahams.
Eighteenth-Century Conservatism in Christianity and Islam: The Reverend and the Shaykh (Culture and Civilization in the Middle East)
by Ralph A. LeoThis book examines the world of religious conservatism in Christianity and Islam through a comparison of two eighteenth-century traditionalist icons, Jonathan Edwards and Muḥammad Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhāb.Spanning the globe from America to Arabia, this book explores the major themes in the lives and works of these most unlikely of bedfellows, the Reverend and the Shaykh. In many ways, Edwards and Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhāb are about as far apart as two figures could possibly be. Without minimizing their very real differences, however, this comparative study finds numerous parallels that beckon even the most conservative of Christians and Muslims to take a second look at their own faith, as well as the faith of the other. The numerous surprising congruences in the worlds of the Reverend and the Shaykh, as well as in their conceptions of God, humanity, and the faith of the other, suggest that we stand much to gain from a reassessment of long-held views that could lead to wholly new patterns of engagement.With implications in diverse fields such as politics, law, philosophy, theology, history, warfare and anthropology, this book unearths striking parallels in Edwards and Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhāb that have heretofore gone unnoticed or largely ignored.
Eighteenth-Century Literary Affections (Palgrave Studies in Affect Theory and Literary Criticism)
by Louise JoyThis book assesses the mediating role played by 'affections' in eighteenth-century contestations about reason and passion, questioning their availability and desirability outside textual form. It examines the formulation and idealization of this affective category in works by Isaac Watts, Lord Shaftesbury, Mary Hays, William Godwin, Helen Maria Williams, and William Wordsworth. Part I outlines how affections are invested with utopian potential in theology, moral philosophy, and criticism, re-imagining what it might mean to know emotion. Part II considers attempts of writers at the end of the period to draw affections into literature as a means of negotiating a middle way between realism and idealism, expressivism and didacticism, particularity and abstraction, subjectivity and objectivity, femininity and masculinity, radicalism and conservatism, and the foreign and the domestic.
Eighteenth-Century Naval Officers: A Transnational Perspective (War, Culture and Society, 1750 –1850)
by Evan Wilson AnnaSara Hammar Jakob SeerupThis book surveys the lives and careers of naval officers across Europe at the height of the age of sail. It traces the professionalization of naval officers by exploring their preparation for life at sea and the challenges they faced while in command. It also demonstrates the uniqueness of the maritime experience, as long voyages and isolation at sea cemented their bond with naval officers across Europe while separating them from landlubbers. It depicts, in a way no previous study has, the parameters of their shared experiences—both the similarities that crossed national boundaries and connected officers, and the differences that can only be seen from an international perspective.
Eighteenth-Century Thing Theory in a Global Context: From Consumerism to Celebrity Culture
by Ileana Baird Christina IonescuExploring Enlightenment attitudes toward things and their relation to human subjects, this collection offers a geographically wide-ranging perspective on what the eighteenth century looked like beyond British or British-colonial borders. To highlight trends, fashions, and cultural imports of truly global significance, the contributors draw their case studies from Western Europe, Russia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania. This survey underscores the multifarious ways in which new theoretical approaches, such as thing theory or material and visual culture studies, revise our understanding of the people and objects that inhabit the phenomenological spaces of the eighteenth century. Rather than focusing on a particular geographical area, or on the global as a juxtaposition of regions with a distinctive cultural footprint, this collection draws attention to the unforeseen relational maps drawn by things in their global peregrinations, celebrating the logic of serendipity that transforms the object into some-thing else when it is placed in a new locale.
Eighteenth-Century Transplantations: New Literary Lives, Forms and Contexts (Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature)
by Jakub Lipski Joanna Maciulewicz Anna Paluchowska-MessingThis collection studies eighteenth-century British literature as enmeshed within a dynamic intercultural traffic, participating in the import and export of literary and cultural forms. Eighteenth-Century Transplantations places this transcultural circulation at the centre of attention and presents its products in a unique configuration. Literary transplants into the British context, out of it, and their transmedial afterlives are set together in order to showcase the mechanisms of such cultural commerce. The term 'transplantation', borrowed from medical and horticultural discourses and evocative of eighteenth-century experiments in gardening, is offered here as a useful kinetic model to conceptualize the diverse practices involved in relocating a literary text into a new cultural environment.
Eighteenth-Century Women Poets and Their Poetry: Inventing Agency, Inventing Genre
by Paula R. BackscheiderCo-Winner, James Russell Lowell Prize, Modern Language Association This major study offers a broad view of the writing and careers of eighteenth-century women poets, casting new light on the ways in which poetry was read and enjoyed, on changing poetic tastes in British culture, and on the development of many major poetic genres and traditions. Rather than presenting a chronological survey, Paula R. Backscheider explores the forms in which women wrote and the uses to which they put those forms. Considering more than forty women in relation to canonical male writers of the same era, she concludes that women wrote in all of the genres that men did but often adapted, revised, and even created new poetic kinds from traditional forms.Backscheider demonstrates that knowledge of these women's poetry is necessary for an accurate and nuanced literary history. Within chapters on important canonical and popular verse forms, she gives particular attention to such topics as women's use of religious poetry to express candid ideas about patriarchy and rape; the continuing evolution and important role of the supposedly antiquarian genre of the friendship poetry; same-sex desire in elegy by women as well as by men; and the status of Charlotte Smith as a key figure of the long eighteenth century, not only as a Romantic-era poet.
Eighteenth-Century Women's Writing and the 'Scandalous Memoir'
by Caroline BreashearsThis book contributes to the literary history of eighteenth-century women's life writings, particularly those labeled "scandalous memoirs. " It examines how the evolution of this subgenre was shaped partially by several innovative memoirs that have received only modest critical attention. Breashears argues that Madame de La Touche's Apologie and her friend Lady Vane's Memoirs contributed to the crystallization of this sub-genre at mid-century, and that Lady Vane's collaboration with Tobias Smollett in The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle resulted in a brilliant experiment in the relationship between gender and genre. It demonstrates that the Memoirs of Catherine Jemmat incorporated influential new strategies for self-justification in response to changing kinship priorities, and that Margaret Coghlan's Memoirs introduced revolutionary themes that created a hybrid: the political scandalous memoir. This book will therefore appeal to scholars interested in life writing, women's history, genre theory, and eighteenth-century British literature.
Eighteenth-century Women: An Anthology (Routledge Library Editions: Women's History)
by Bridget HillWhen it was first published in 1984, this book filled an acknowledged gap in the social history of the period and made available hitherto inaccessible sources. The work draws on newspapers and journals, memoirs, diaries, courtesy books, county surveys and records, but also on the literature of the period, its novels, poetry and plays. It examines the role assigned to women in eighteenth-century society and the education thought fitting to perform it. It looks at attitudes to courtship and marriage, chastity and sexual passion. It explores the role of women as wives and mothers, as spinsters and widows, and focuses on the living and working experience of women whether in the home, agriculture, industry or domestic service. It contrasts the expectations of the rich and the poor, the leisured lady and the underpaid female agricultural labourer, the unmarried mother and the prostitute.
Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences 1815-1897
by Elizabeth Cady StantonThe autobiography of women&’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton—published for the 100th anniversary of women&’s suffrage—including an updated introduction and afterword from noted scholars of women&’s history Ellen Carol DuBois and Ann D. Gordon. Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences 1815–1897, is one of the great American autobiographies. There is really no other American woman&’s autobiography in the nineteenth century that comes near it in relevance, excellence, and historical significance. In 1848, thirty-three-year-old Stanton and four others organized the first major women&’s rights meeting in American history. Together with Susan B. Anthony, her partner in the cause, she led the campaign for women&’s legal rights, most prominently woman suffrage, for the rest of the century. In those years, Stanton was the movement&’s spokeswoman, theorist, and its visionary. In addition to her suffrage activism, she was a pioneering advocate of women&’s reproductive freedom, and a ceaseless critic of religious misogyny. As the mother of seven, she also had pronounced opinions on women&’s domestic responsibilities, especially on raising children. In Eighty Years and More, Stanton reminisces about dramatic moments in the history of woman suffrage, about her personal challenges and triumphs, and about the women and men she met in her travels around the United States and abroad. Stanton&’s writing retains its vigor, intelligence, and wit. Much of what she had to say about women, their lives, their frustrations, their aspirations and their possibilities, remains relevant and moving today.

Ein transnationaler feministischer Blick auf die Biomärkte für Leihmutterschaft in Indien
by Sheela SuryanarayananDieses Buch verfolgt einen Ansatz der reproduktiven Gerechtigkeit, um zu argumentieren, dass die Leihmutterschaft, wie sie auf den heutigen neoliberalen Biomärkten praktiziert wird, die humanitären Grenzen des Feminismus überschreitet. Auf der Grundlage ihrer ethnografischen Arbeit mit Leihmüttern, Wunscheltern und Ärzten in Indien zeigt die Autorin die dunklen Verbindungen zwischen Armut, Geschlecht, Menschenrechtsverletzungen und Demütigung auf dem Leihmutterschaftsmarkt auf. In einem Entwicklungsland wie Indien schaffen die Biotechnologien also Reproduktionsobjekte für bestimmte weibliche Körper, während sie für andere ein Bild der reproduktiven Befreiung fördern. Indien ist ein klassisches Beispiel dafür, wie sehr diese Biomärkte unter dem Deckmantel der reproduktiven Freiheit Schwachstellen für individuelle Bedürfnisse ausnutzen können. Dieses kritische Buch bezieht sich auf eine Reihe von liberalen, radikalen und postkolonialen feministischen Rahmenwerken zur Leihmutterschaft und stellt die Perspektive der individuellen reproduktiven Rechte als Ansatz zur Untersuchung der globalen Leihmutterschaft in Frage. Es führt den "humanitären Feminismus" als alternatives Konzept ein, um die aus kontextuellen und ideologischen Gründen gespaltenen feministischen Fraktionen zu überbrücken. Sie hofft, eine globale feministische Solidarität aufzubauen, die sich auf einen Ansatz der "reproduktiven Gerechtigkeit" stützt, indem sie die Geschichte der Unterdrückung durch Rasse, Klasse, Geschlecht, Sexualität, Fähigkeiten, Alter und Immigration in allen Gemeinschaften anerkennt. Diese Arbeit ist für Forscher und Studenten der medizinischen Soziologie und Anthropologie, der Geschlechterstudien, der Bioethik und der Entwicklungsstudien von Interesse.
