Astronomy and Power: How Worlds Are Structured
ISBN-13: 9781407314419 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 302 str.
Throughout the course of history, from early prehistory to the Space Age, power structures have existed which have been more or less derived from or correlated to astronomical phenomena or certain cosmologies and cosmovisions. These have significantly affected and formed the economic, social, political, artistic and religious life of people across different cultures. Cosmographies, time reckoning and calendar systems, celestial navigation techniques, landscape and architectural models of cosmicpotency, celestial divination and astrological ideas, cosmic clothing and other related concepts have been used successfully by interest groups to establish, maintain and expand psychological, social, religious and political power. Furthermore, the celestial sphere and its inhabitants have also been closely connected and partially interwoven with the concept of the manifestation of cosmic order and power both in nature and in culture. The book's 43 chapters cover numerous aspects of the topic, from general ideas to astronomy and politics in the Modern Age.Edited by Michael A. RappenglUck, Barbara RappenglUck, Nicholas Campion and Fabio Silva.With contributions by Elio Antonello, David Bea CastaNo, Juan Antonio Belmonte, Mary Blomberg, F.
