Sparta: Comparative Approaches
ISBN: 9781905125388 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 502 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Both in antiquity and in modern scholarship, classical Sparta has typically been viewed as an exceptional society, different in many respects from other Greek city-states. This view has recently come under challenge from revisionist historians, led by Stephen Hodkinson. This is the first book devoted explicitly to this lively historical controversy. Historians from Britain, Europe and the USA present different sides of the argument, using a variety of comparative approaches. The focus includes kingship and hegemonic structures, education and commensality, religious institutions and practice,...

Slaves and Religions in Graeco-Roman Antiquity and Modern Brazil
ISBN: 9781443837361 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 335 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Slaves have never been mere passive victims of slavery. Typically, they have responded with ingenuity to their violent separation from their native societies, using a variety of strategies to create new social networks and cultures. Religion has been a major arena for such slave cultural strategies. Through participation in religious and ritual activities, slaves have generated important elements of identity, shared humanity, and even resistance, within their lives. This volume presents papers from a conference of the University of Nottingham's Institute for the Study of Slavery - the only UK...

The Shadow of Sparta
ISBN: 9780415104135 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the past twenty years the study of Sparta has come of age. Images prevalent earlier in the 20th century, of Spartans as hearty good fellows or scarlet-cloaked automata, have been superseded by more complex scholarly reactions. As interest has grown in the self-images projected by this most secretive of Greek cities, increasing attention has focused on how individual Greek writers from other states reacted to information, or disinformation about Sparta.
The studies in this volume provide new insights into the traditional historians' question, "What actually happened at Sparta?." But the... In the past twenty years the study of Sparta has come of age. Images prevalent earlier in the 20th century, of Spartans as hearty good fellows or scar...

Sparta in Modern Thought: Politics, History and Culture
ISBN: 9781905125470 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Images of ancient Sparta have had a major impact on Western thought. From the Renaissance to the French Revolution she was invoked by radical thinkers as a model for the creation of a republican political and social order. Since the 19th century she has typically been viewed as the opposite of advanced liberal and industrial democracies: a forerunner of 20th-century totalitarian and militaristic regimes such as the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. Yet positive images of Sparta remain embedded in contemporary popular media and culture. This is the first book in over 40 years to examine this...
