Manifest Destinations: Cities and Tourists in the Nineteenth-Century American West
ISBN: 9780806144887 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tourists started visiting the American West in sizable numbers after the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads were completed in 1869. Contemporary travel brochures and guidebooks of the 1870s sold tourists on the spectacular scenery of the West, and depicted its cities as extensions of the natural landscape as well as places where efficient business operations and architectural grandeur prevailed all now easily accessible thanks to the relative comfort of transcontinental rail travel. Yet as people flocked to western cities, it was the everyday life that captured their interest the...

Cultural Identity in the Ancient Mediterranean
ISBN: 9780892369690 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cultural identity is a slippery and elusive concept. When applied to the collective self-consciousness among peoples or nations, it becomes all the more difficult to define or grasp. In recent decades scholars have focused on the "other"--the alien, the unfamiliar, the different, perceived or conceived as the opposite--to highlight the virtues and advantages of the self. While this influential idea continues to hold sway, the time has come for a more nuanced and complex understanding of how the various societies of the ancient Mediterranean shaped their sense of identity. The... Cultural identity is a slippery and elusive concept. When applied to the collective self-consciousness among peoples or nations, it becomes all the... |

Diaspora: Jews Amidst Greeks and Romans
ISBN: 9780674016064 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What was life like for Jews settled throughout the Mediterranean world of Classical antiquity--and what place did Jewish communities have in the diverse civilization dominated by Greeks and Romans? In a probing account of the Jewish diaspora in the four centuries from Alexander the Great's conquest of the Near East to the Roman destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 C.E., Erich Gruen reaches often surprising conclusions. By the first century of our era, Jews living abroad far outnumbered those living in Palestine and had done so for generations. Substantial Jewish communities were...

Ethnicity in the Ancient World - Did it matter?
ISBN: 9783110995053 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study raises that difficult and complicated question on a broad front, taking into account the expressions and attitudes of a wide variety of Greek, Roman, Jewish, and early Christian sources, including Herodotus, Polybius, Cicero, Philo, and Paul. It approaches the topic of ethnicity through the lenses of the ancients themselves rather than through the imposition of modern categories, labels, and frameworks. A central issue guides the course of the work: did ancient writers reflect upon collective identity as determined by common origins and lineage or by shared traditions and culture?

The Hellenistic World and the Coming of Rome
ISBN: 9780520057371 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 800 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this revisionist study of Roman imperialism in the Greek world, Gruen considers the Hellenistic context within which Roman expansion took place. The evidence discloses a preponderance of Greek rather than Roman ideas: a noteworthy readiness on the part of Roman policymakers to adjust to Hellenistic practices rather than to impose a system of their own.

Heritage and Hellenism: The Reinvention of Jewish Traditionvolume 30
ISBN: 9780520235069 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 393 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The interaction of Jew and Greek in antiquity intrigues the imagination. Both civilizations boasted great traditions, their roots stretching back to legendary ancestors and divine sanction. In the wake of Alexander the Great's triumphant successes, Greeks and Macedonians came as conquerors and settled as ruling classes in the lands of the eastern Mediterranean. Hellenic culture, the culture of the ascendant classes in many of the cities of the Near East, held widespread attraction and appeal. Jews were certainly not immune. In this thoroughly researched, lucidly written work, Erich Gruen...

Few encounters in antiquity have had more profound consequences than that between Greek culture and Republican Rome. Focusing on the ruling elites of the middle and later Republic, for whom Hellenic literature, religion, and visual arts were at once intimidating and appealing, Erich S. Gruen offers a compelling account of the assimilation and adaptation of Greek culture by the Romans. Gruen examines such key cultural developments in the history of Republican Rome as the adaptation of the legend of Troy to create a special place for Rome within Hellenic traditions and Cato's...

Eltern geben weiter, was ihnen selbst angetan wurde; Sie bestrafen ihre Kinder fr das, was sie lernten, in sich selbst abzulehnen und zu hassen, nmlich Verletzlichkeit und Hilflosigkeit. Beides sind leidvolle Erfahrungen, die zu uern jedoch bei uns einer Herabsetzung unseres Selbstwerts gleichkommt. Und so intervenieren wir auch nicht, wenn ein Kind klglich schreit, weint oder verzweifelt ist. Wir schtzen unsere Kinder nicht, obschon wir uns fr ihre Beschtzer halten. Wir sind beides, Opfer und Tter, weil wir den Bezug zum eigenen Schmerz verloren haben. Wir suchen dauernd Opfer, um das Opfer,...
