Bibliographisches Verzeichnis (pp. 460-483).

De bundeling van politiek-politioneele overzichten wordt in dit derde deel voortgezet met de overzichten van de jaren 1931-1934. De overzichten werden samengesteld door de Algemeene Recherche Dienst, ressorterend onder de Procureur-Generaal van het Hooggerechtshof van Nederlands-Indië. De zeer vertouwelijke rapportage werd toegezonden aan een zeer beperkte groep van hoge bestuurders in Indië en Nederlandse diplomatieke vertegenwoordigers. Maandelijks werd hierin een overzicht verschaft van de ontwikkelingen in de Indonesische politieke beweging, de Indonesische vakbeweging, onder de Chinese bevolkingsgroep en in het buitenland, voorzover van belang geacht voor Nederlandsch-Indië.De overzichten vormen een unieke bron van informatie over het Indonesische nationalisme, waarbij begrijpelijkerwijze de voor'rust en orde'gevaarlijk geachte organisaties veel aandacht krijgen. In dit deel wordt aldus de opkomst van de Partai Indonesia, met als voorman Soekarno, en de Pendidikan Nasional Indonesia, met Hatta, gedocumenteerd.Verboden en arrestaties maakten een einde aan deze radicale fase in de politieke beweging en er onstond ruimte voor meer gematigde organisaties als de Persatoean Bangsa Indonesia en Boedi Oetomo.In een uitvoerige inleiding worden de gebeurtenissen en ontwikkelingen in de jaren 1931-1934 in samenhangende zin beschreven. Drie uitvoerige registers en vele kaarten ontsluiten de tekst.

The recent years have seen an upswing in studies of women in the ancient Near East and related areas. This volume, which is the result of a Danish-Japanese collaboration, seeks to highlight women as actors within the sphere of the religious. In ancient Mesopotamia and other ancient civilizations, religious beliefs and practices permeated all aspects of society, and for this reason it is not possible to completely dissociate religion from politics, economy, or literature. Thus, the goal is to shift the perspective by highlighting the different ways in which the agency of women can be traced in the historical (and archaeological) record. This perspectival shift can be seen in studies of elite women, who actively contributed to (religious) gift-giving or participated in temple economies, or through showing the limits of elite women's agency in relation to diplomatic marriages. Additionally, several contributions examine the roles of women as religious officials and the language, worship, or invocation of goddesses. This volume does not aim at completeness but seeks to highlight points for further research and new perspectives.

As the second volume of a two-volume set that studies the ancient Chinese academy from a socio-cultural perspective, this title investigates the multifaceted roles and political and cultural significance of the academy.Inaugurated in the Tang dynasty and eventually abolished in the late Qing dynasty, the academy, as a unique cultural and educational organization in the Chinese history, exerted extensive and profound influence on the ancient Chinese culture, politics, and social life. This title first discusses the state control of the academy and how it functions in social governance, then examines the sacrificial ritual of the academy and its influence on education, enculturation, Confucian orthodoxy, and intellectual ethos, and finally elaborates on the academy's role in enriching the regional cultures in terms of local cultural undertakings and talent cultivation.The title will be a useful reference for scholars, students, and general readers interested in cultural history, intellectual history, and educational history of ancient China and especially the Chinese academy culture.

As the first volume of a two-volume set that studies the ancient Chinese academy from a socio-cultural perspective, this title explores the history of the academy and its relationship with the development of Confucianism in the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. Inaugurated in the Tang dynasty and eventually abolished in the late Qing dynasty, the academy, as a unique cultural and educational organization in Chinese history, exerted extensive and profound influences on ancient Chinese culture, politics, and social life. The book first revisits the inception and development of the academy by anaylzing the socio-cultural context and different driving forces including social mentality, print culture, education systems, and so on. It then examines the reciprocity and thriving relationships between the academy and Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Yuan dynasties and Yangming School of Mind in the Ming dynasty.The title will be a useful reference for scholars, students, and general readers interested in cultural history, intellectual history, and educational history of ancient China and especially the Chinese academy culture.

Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Verdrängung der jüdischen Rechtsanwältinnen und -anwälte aus ihrem Berufsstand, die im April 1933 einsetzte. Es schildert die politischen und rechtlichen Voraussetzungen und dokumentiert in einem biografischen Verzeichnis über 1.800 Lebensläufe, die teils in erzwungener Emigration, teils in der Ermordung durch die Nationalsozialisten endeten. Die Schicksale lassen erahnen, welcher Verlust an intellektueller Größe, sprachlicher Brillanz und menschlicher Vielfalt durch die gewaltsame Ausgrenzung und Vertreibung der betroffenen Juristen bewirkt wurde. Vollständig überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage des Standardwerks.

The present volume is the product of a joint effort made by scholars from across China (including Hong Kong), Japan and Europe. The book gathers sixteen papers devoted to literary and cultural criticism from a comparative point of view.A perspective prominent in this volume is imagology, an approach first developed by Daniel-Henry Pageaux, and which focuses on specific images in literary and other texts. The study of the image of the “foreign” in national literary traditions, for instance, belongs to the traditional purview of comparative literature. Pageaux did more than uphold this tradition. He practically reinvented it using new theoretical concepts and perspectives (in particular, semiotics and reception aesthetics). On this basis, he was able to develop a theory and a methodology that are both usable and in tune with contemporary concerns. The present book covers a wide range of topics in the study of images of Westerners in Chinese and Japanese literature. Individual contributions deal with issues such as the genesis of the Chinese term Foreign Devil, the occurrence of Westerners in modern Chinese and Japanese literature, and the Chinese and Japanese reception of indiviual western authors and artists such as, amongst others, Oscar Wilde, Vincent Van Gogh, and Madame Roland. Some papers examine individual authors such as Lu Xun and Takeyama Michio. Others examine historical periods or literary movements. The approaches followed range from historical investigations of linguistic practices to detailed literary analyses.

En 1792, pour les Espagnols de Santo Domingo, face aux troupes révolutionnaires de la partie française de l'île, il ne restait plus qu'à mettre à profit leurs dissidences. Par l'intermédiaire d'hommes de confiance persuasifs, il ne fut pas très difficile de contrôler, parmi les chefs, Jean-François et Biassou. Mais la liberté générale concédée par la Convention remit Toussaint Louverture dans le camp des Français, faisant de lui un ennemi redoutable pour les Espagnols dont il connaissait les faiblesses. Ce revirement mit en danger la province espagnole qui ne pouvait plus se fier qu'aux troupes auxiliaires, les « Noirs français ». Une fois la paix signée en 1795, qui entraînait la cession de la province à la colonie voisine, il ne restait plus qu'à reléguer les deux « généraux » et une partie de leurs gens en des provinces éloignées. Biassou se retrouva ainsi en Floride, mais Jean-François qui ne se montra pas aussi docile, mourut cependant de sa belle mort... à Cadix. Cette nouvelle recherche de Jean-Pierre Tardieu sur la vision espagnole des événements qui secouèrent Saint Domingue rectifie des erreurs et comble des lacunes en s'appuyant sur des archives espagnoles trop peu exploitées. Un livre important pour l'historiographie des indépendances des Antilles et de l'Amérique latine.

This book, based on the theory of Marxism-Leninism, aims to study the essence, content and features of various legal systems in China in different historical periods, as well as the rules of the development of Chinese legal system. It effectively combines classic and historical analysis to probe the historical facts and elaborate the historical role of the legal system, revealing both the general and the specific rules of the development of the Chinese legal system on the basis of the existing relevant researches. The subject matter is of abundant theoretical and practical significance, as it enriches Marxist legal studies, deepens the readers'understanding of Chinese legal civilization and offers guiding principles for the creation of socialist legal systems with Chinese characteristics. The chapters are structured chronologically, ranging from the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Han Dynasty, the South and North Dynasties, the Suiand Tang Dynasties, the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties when Chinese legal system took on its final form. The chapters are compiled according to legislation, administrative law, criminal law and judicial system. Besides, the Chinese legal civilization after the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen is also addressed.

‘‘‘Who am I?'and ‘Who are we?'are the existential, foundational questions in our lives. In our modern world, there is no construct more influential than ‘identity'– whether as individuals or as groups. The concept of group identity is the focal point of a research group named “A Question of Identity” at the Mandel Scholion Interdisciplinary Research Center in the Humanities at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The papers collected in this volume represent the proceedings of a January 2017 conference organized by the research group which dealt with identity formation in six contextual settings: Ethno-religious identities in light of the archaeological record; Second Temple period textual records on Diaspora Judaism; Jews and Christians in Sasanian Persia; minorities in the Persian achaemenid period; Inter-ethnic dialogue in pre-1948 Palestine; and redefinitions of Christian Identity in the Early Modern period.

The ten essays published in this volume were written over the space of a decade, but they were conceived from the start as a coherent whole, presenting Peiresc's study of discrete languages and literatures of the Near East and North Africa. For Peiresc the student of the Classical past, this described the eastern and southern space in which the Greeks and Romans lived and strove. For Peiresc the Christian, this was the world of the Bible that impacted upon the Greeks and Romans. And for Peiresc of the Mediterranean (for he was born in Aix, spent much time in Marseille, and lived outside of the region for only 6 of his 57 years), this was the territory that his friends and colleagues sailed to, lived in and, usually, came back from. The convergence of these axes in the life of one man, and a man of singular intellectual power and charm whose vast personal paper arsenal had survived, makes this such a compelling project. The essays are arranged in a roughly chronological order. They follow the course of Peiresc's own projects from his early encounter with the ancient Near East in Greek and Roman literature, through his engagement with Arabic to his deepening kowledge of rabbinic texts to the wider world of the new oriental studies of the seventeenth century which he helped create: Samaritan, Coptic and Ethiopic.

This volume brings together a set of key studies on classical Arabic poetry (ca. 500-1000 C.E.), published over the last thirty-five years; the individual articles each deal with a different approach, period, genre, or theme. The major focus is on new interpretations of the form and function of the pre-eminent classical poetic genre, the polythematic qasida, or Arabic ode, particularly explorations of its ritual, ceremonial and performance dimensions. Other articles present the typology and genre characteristics of the short monothematic forms, especially the lyrical ghazal and the wine-poem. After thus setting out the full poetic genres and their structures, the volume turns in the remaining studies to the philological, rhetorical, stylistic and motival elements of classical Arabic poetry, in their etymological, symbolic, historical and comparatist dimensions. Suzanne Pinckney Stetkevych's Introduction places the articles within the context of the major critical and methodological trajectories of the field and in doing so demonstrates the increasing integration of Arabic literary studies into contemporary humanistic scholarship. The Selected Bibliography complements the Introduction and the Articles to offer the reader a full overview of the past generation of Western literary and critical scholarship on classical Arabic poetry.

This book brings together ancient manuscripts of the large compendium of Mesopotamian exorcistic incantations known as Udug.hul (Utukku Lemnutu), directed against evil demons, ghosts, gods, and other demonic malefactors within the Mesopotamian view of the world. It allows for a more accurate appraisal of variants arising from a text tradition spread over more than two millennia and from many ancient libraries.

This book breaks with convention and provides an overview of Chinese history in the form of special topics. These topics include the major issues of “A Scientific Approach to the Origins of Chinese Civilization,” “Ancient Chinese Society and the Change of Dynasties,” “The Golden Ages of the Han, Tang and Qing Dynasties: a Comparative Analysis,” “Transportation Systems and Cultural Communication in Ancient China,” “Ethnic Relations in Chinese History,” “The Systems of Politics, Law and Selecting Officials in Ancient China,” “Agriculture, Handicraft and Commerce in Ancient China,” “The Military Thought and Military Systems of Ancient China,” “The Rich and Colorful Social Life in Ancient China,” “The Evolution of Ancient Chinese Thought,” “The Treasure House of Ancient Chinese Literature and Art,” “The Emergence and Progress of Ancient Chinese Historiography,” “Reflection on Ancient Chinese Science and Technology,” “New Issues in the Modern History of China,” and “A General Progressionto the Socialist Modernization of the People's Republic of China.”The book is based on current literature and research by university students. The modern history section is relatively concise, while the topics related to ancient Chinese history are longer, reflecting the country's rich history and corresponding wealth of materials. There is also an in-depth discussion on the socialist modernization of the People's Republic of China.The book provides insights into Chinese history, allowing readers “to see the value of civilization through history; to see the preciseness of history through civilization.” It focuses on the social background, lifestyle and development processes to illustrate ideologies and ideas.

Les Géopolitiques de Brest 2012 se proposaient, un an après le début du mouvement en Tunisie, de dresser un état des lieux du monde arabe à l'heure de sa recomposition. Forces profondes de la démographie, rôle des nouvelles technologies, poids de la crise économique et sociale, rejet ou non de l'islamisme, tentatives de nouvelles synthèses démocratiques...L'évolution du monde arabe pose de nombreuses questions auxquelles un certain nombre de spécialistes tente de répondre dans cet ouvrage.

Heinrich Brugsch war ein deutscher Ägyptologe und besuchte in den Jahren 1854 und 1855 zahlreiche Tempel, Grabstätten und Monumente des ägyptischen Altertums. In diesem Buch beschreibt er seine Reise und beschreibt detailliert diese Altertümer, u.a. die Pyramiden von Gizeh mit der gerade neu entdeckten Sphinx, den berühmten Tempel von Karnak, das Tal der Könige, die Inseln Philä und Konossos und vieles andere mehr. Neben den Beschreibungen der Tempel, Bauten und Inschriften schildert er auch die Arbeitsbedingungen der Archäologen und das Leben der einheimischen Bevölkerung im Ägypten dieser Zeit, das damals noch unter türkischer Herrschaft stand. Für dieses E-Book wurde die Reisebeschreibung von Heinrich Brugsch durch zahlreiche detaillierte und farbige Zeichnungen des deutschen Ägyptologen Karl Richard Lepsius ergänzt, der einige Jahre vor Brugsch viele der von Brugsch beschriebenen Altertümer besuchte und zeichnerisch festhielt. Sie geben über die Beschreibung hinaus ein Bild vom Zustand der Denkmäler am Beginn der Erforschung des alten Ägyptens.

In der vorliegenden Studie wird die Geschichte der islamischen Sektenkunde als literarisches Genus untersucht. Das Buch besteht aus drei Teilen: Der erste Teil behandelt die strukturellen Konstanten der Texte wie Gliederung oder Zahl und Einteilung der „Sekten“. Im Hauptteil werden die einschlägigen Werke und Autoren vom 8. bis 19. Jahrhundert beschrieben. Der Schlussabschnitt betrachtet die zentralen Begriffe – „Religion“, „Sekte“, „Orthodoxie“ usw. – und beleuchtet den geschichtlichen Hintergrund der literarischen Entwicklung näher. Dabei stellt sich heraus, dass die „Häresien“ eher „Konfessionen“ waren, die sich als ein Beweis für die pluralistische Struktur des islamischen Gemeinwesens verstehen lassen.

Entre les années 900 et 650 avant notre ère, l'empire assyrien s'étend pour finir par inclure tout le Proche-Orient, depuis l'Iraq jusqu'à la frontière égyptienne, l'est de la Turquie, la Syrie actuelle et une partie de l'Iran. Cet ouvrage contient un florilège des annales des rois assyriens du 1er millénaire avant notre ère, depuis Assurnasirpal II jusqu'à Assurbanipal. Le genre annalistique se développe en Assyrie au cours de cette période...

This book brings together edited articles from the second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam that are relevant to food culture, health, diet, and medicine in pre-Islamic Muslim societies. This compilation consists of edited entries on agriculture and irrigation, with attention for various staples and fruits; animals and the legal aspects of their consumption; hunting and fishing; the preparation of food, with entries on both the kitchen and various ingredients; dietetics and pharmacology; and the medicinal properties of a wide variety of foodstuffs.

Arabic letters on papyrus challenge the modern reader. There are few to no diacritical dots to distinguish homographs, no systematic spacing between single words, and in the majority of cases a low degree of graphical structuring. However, contemporary readers usually read and understood these documents easily – probably because the recipient of a letter knew what to expect. The letters are formulaic, and their information packaging follows an algorithm typical for their time and content. Here formulaic letter writing means not only the reuse of the same formulae or topoi but expressing thoughts in a predictable linguistic way and order, both as a matter of readability and as one of adequacy and politeness. The main concern of this work is to discover these unwritten rules and norms behind Arabic letter writing on papyrus.

Herausgegeben im Auftrag des Auswärtigen Amts vom Institut für Zeitgeschichte. Hauptherausgeber: Horst Möller, Mitherausgeber: Klaus Hildebrand, Gregor Schöllgen Wissenschaftliche Leiterin: Ilse Dorothee Pautsch Die Kontroverse um die Neutronenwaffe überschattete 1978 die deutsch-amerikanischen Beziehungen. Zudem rückte die sowjetische Überlegenheit im Bereich der Mittelstreckenwaffen ins Zentrum der strategischen Diskussion. In der Ost- und Deutschlandpolitik markierten der Besuch des Generalsekretärs Breschnew sowie der Abschluss der Verkehrsverhandlungen mit der DDR wichtige Fortschritte. Demgegenüber stagnierte der multilaterale Entspannungsprozess: Weder die KSZE-Folgekonferenz von Belgrad noch die MBFR-Verhandlungen in Wien brachten den erhofften Fortschritt. Während die Konferenz von Camp David Hoffnung auf Frieden im Nahen Osten weckte, verschärften sich die Unruhen im Iran. Auf dem Weltwirtschaftgipfel in Bonn verwandte die Bundesregierung ihren Einfluss auf die Stabilisierung der Währungsmärkte und die Überwindung der weltwirtschaftlichen Flaute. Unter deutscher Ratspräsidentschaft konnte das Europäische Währungssystem als Voraussetzung für den heutigen Euro-Währungsraum eingeführt und ein Durchbruch bei den Beitrittsverhandlungen mit Griechenland als Auftakt zur EG-Süderweiterung erreicht werden.

L'auteur dresse la micro histoire du Bwatum, le pays des Bwa, un peuple du Mali marginalisé dans l'histoire sous-régionale jusqu'en 1916. Il se pose la question de la pertinence de l'identité Bo dans un contexte de regain identitaire et ethnique. A partir d'enquêtes de terrain dans plus de 220 villages du pays Bo, l'auteur nous informe que les Bwa sont un peuple de frontières à cheval entre populations segmentaires et conquérantes ayant procédé au métissage de divers modes de vie.

En nous entraînant tour à tour de l'Egypte ancienne à la France d'aujourd'hui, de la Grèce à l'Amérique latine en passant par l'Afrique, les présents essais tracent les contours d'une véritable anthropologie historique du corps. Certains traitent de ses représentations : fantasmes sur le cannibale nés de la découverte d'un Nouveau Monde, les superhéros de bandes dessinées... D'autres insistent sur le corps, dans le cadre du propos médical grec ancien, de l'idéologie nazie ou au coeur des débats philosophiques et psychanalytiques les plus actuels. D'autres enfin nous amènent à réfléchir sur le corps au quotidien.

Während das ältere Westjiddisch in der schriftlichen Überlieferung relativ gut faßbar ist, sind moderne westjiddische Dialekte kaum dokumentiert, weil sie seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts praktisch überall zugunsten deutscher Varietäten aufgegeben wurden. Für die jiddische Linguistik ist das Westjiddische von besonderem Interesse, weil es die Möglichkeit bietet, Jiddisch in einer deutschen, nichtslawischen Umgebung zu beobachten. Diese Arbeit bietet Transkriptionen, Übersetzungen und Kommentare zu Tonaufnahmen aus dem südwestjiddischen Gebiet, und zwar aus Endingen und Lengnau in der Schweiz und aus Gailingen und Randegg in Südwestdeutschland. In dieser Region war das Westjiddische zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts im Vergleich zu anderen Gebieten noch ziemlich lebendig. In einer ausführlichen Einleitung wird der soziolinguistischen Situation besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Ausführlich behandelt werden auch Einflüsse der koterritorialen deutschen Dialekte. Der größte Teil der transkribierten Tonaufnahmen geht auf die Tätigkeit der Zürcher Linguistin Florence Guggenheim-Grünberg zurück und stammt aus den 1950er und 1960er Jahren. Daneben werden auch kurze Auszüge aus den Interviews für den »Language and Culture Atlas of Ashkenazic Jewry« zugänglich gemacht. Über zwei Drittel des Materials dokumentieren den westjiddischen Dialekt von Endingen. Die transkribierten Ausschnitte finden sich als Tondokumente auf zwei Begleit-CDs, die über zwei Stunden Tonmaterial enthalten. Der Band wurde ausgezeichnet mit dem Hugo-Moser-Preis 2005.

To date, the pathbreaking medical contributions of the early Mesopotamians have been only vaguely understood. Due to the combined problems of an extinct language, gaps in the archeological record, the complexities of pharmacy and medicine, and the dispersion of ancient tablets throughout the museums of the world, it has been nearly impossible to get a clear and comprehensive view of what medicine was really like in ancient Mesopotamia. The collaboration of medical expert Burton R. Andersen and cuneiformist JoAnn Scurlock makes it finally possible to survey this collected corpus and discern magic from experimental medicine in Ashur, Babylon, and Nineveh. Diagnoses in Assyrian and Babylonian Medicine is the first systematic study of all the available texts, which together reveal a level of medical knowledge not matched again until the nineteenth century A.D. Over the course of a millennium, these nations were able to develop tests, prepare drugs, and encourage public sanitation. Their careful observation and recording of data resulted in a description of symptoms so precise as to enable modern identification of numerous diseases and afflictions.

The studies brought together in this second collection of articles by Paul Kunitzsch continue the lines of research evident in his previous volume (The Arabs and the Stars). The Arabic materials discussed stem mostly from the early period of the development of Arabic-Islamic astronomy up to about 1000AD, while the Latin materials belong to the first stage of Western contact with Arabic science at the end of the 10th century, and to the peak of Arabic-Latin translation activity in 12th century Spain. The first set of articles focuses upon Ptolemy in the Arabic-Latin tradition, followed by further ones on Arabic astronomy and its reception in the West; the final group looks at details of the transmission of Euclid's Elements.

The Bibliotheca Teubneriana, established in 1849, has evolved into the world's most venerable and extensive series of editions of Greek and Latin literature, ranging from classical to Neo-Latin texts.

This is a study of the intellectual history of the Andalusī Christians (alias Mozarabs) of Spain based on their Arabic and Latin polemical writings against Islam, c. 1050-1200.The first part of the book examines how these authors drew on earlier Oriental Arab-Christian theology, twelfth-century Latin-Christian theology, and the foundational texts of Islam itself — the Qur'ān and ḥadīt — for polemical purposes. The second part is a critical edition and English translation of the most important source, the Liber denudationis siue ostensionis aut patefaciens (alias Contrarietas alfolica).Since it describes how the Andalusī Christians participated in the pluralistic intellectual milieu in which they lived, this study will be of interest to historians of medieval Spain's minority groups, Christian-Muslim relations, and the Arab-Christian tradition.

This book deals with the history of pre-Islamic Arab society and the emergence of Islam, as reflected in hadith, adab, historical, genealogical and exegetical literature. Among the themes discussed are the ethnic composition of the population of Mecca, the evolving relationship between the nascent state in Medina and Muslim religious ideas, as well as some aspects of early Muslim expansion. Other articles deal with Jahili tribal groups and their contribution to emerging Islam. An extensive article is devoted to Adam as a great herald and predecessor of Muhammad.
