Ancient Turkey (0415481236)

Students of antiquity often see ancient Turkey as a bewildering array of cultural complexes. Ancient Turkey brings together in a coherent account the diverse and often fragmented evidence, both archaeological and textual, that forms the basis of our knowledge of the development of Anatolia from the earliest arrivals to the end of the Iron Age. Much new material has recently been excavated and unlike Greece, Mesopotamia, and its other neighbours, Turkey has been poorly served in terms of comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible discussions of its ancient past. Ancient Turkey is a much needed resource for students and scholars, providing an up-to-date account of the widespread and extensive archaeological activity in Turkey. Covering the entire span before the Classical period, fully illustrated with over 160 images and written in lively prose, this text will be enjoyed by anyone interested in the archaeology and early history of Turkey and the ancient Near East. ...

Meaning and Method : The Cultural Approach to Sociology (9781594515705)

Culture is increasingly important to American social science, but in what way? This book addresses the core issues of the sociology of culture-questions about the social role of meaning, along with those about the methods sociologists use to study culture and society-in a manner that makes clear their relevance to sociology as a whole. Part I consists of essays by leading cultural sociologists on how the turn to culture has changed the sociological study of organizations, economic action, and television, and concludes with Georgina Born's methodological statement on the sociology of art and cultural production. Part II contains a highly original, and at times heated, debate between Richard Biernacki and John H. Evans on the appropriateness of abstract and quantifiable coding schemes for the sociological study of culture. Ranging from the philosophy of science to the concrete, practical problems of interpreting masses of cultural data, the debate raises the controversy over the inte...

The Kingdom of God Has No Borders : A Global History of American Evangelicals (0190213426)

More than forty years ago, conservative Christianity emerged as a major force in American political life. Since then the movement has been analyzed and over-analyzed, declared triumphant and, more than once, given up for dead. But because outside observers have maintained a near-relentless focus on domestic politics, the most transformative development over the last several decadesthe explosive growth of Christianity in the global southhas gone unrecognized by the wider public, even as it has transformed evangelical life, both in the US and abroad. The Kingdom of God Has No Borders offers a daring new perspective on conservative Christianity by shifting the lens to focus on the world outside US borders. Melani McAlister offers a sweeping narrative of the last fifty years of evangelical history, weaving a fascinating tale that upends much of what we know-or think we know-about American evangelicals. She takes us to the Congo in the 1960s, where Christians were enmeshed in a complicated...

Psychoanalyse lesbischer Sexualitat (3898067629)

Weibliche und lesbische Sexualität wird vor dem Hintergrund psychoanalytischer, feministischer und sozialpsychologischer Theorien detailliert dargestellt. Die Autorin entlarvt Vorurteile, die in der lesbischen Szene lange gepflegt wurden. Diese Vorurteile sind aus der erfahrenen Diskriminierung entstanden und dienen als Abwehrstrategien. Die Zuschreibung von Schuld auf den Vater oder den Mann hemmt die Annahme der Verantwortung für die eigene vitale Sexualität. Konstruktive wie destruktive unbewusste Abwehrmaßnahmen lesbischer Frauen, die sowohl individuell als auch kollektiv sein können, werden erläutert. In ausführlichen Gesprächen mit lesbischen Frauen werden Themen wie sexueller Missbrauch, Penis- und Gebärneid sowie die kontraproduktive Isolierung, die manche lesbische Frauen in der feministischen Szene suchen, kritisch beleuchtet.

dtv - Atlas Bibel (3423033266)

Die Bibel ist nicht ein Buch, sie ist eine Sammlung von Büchern, die von verschiedenen Autoren zu verschiedenen Zeiten mit unterschiedlichen Ab-sichten vor Jahrtausenden verfasst wurden. Und vielleicht ist diese Unübersichtlichkeit mit der Zeit zum Problem geworden. Denn obwohl die Bibel der erfolgreichste Bestseller aller Zeiten ist, in über 1300 Sprachen übersetzt wurde, weltweit eine halbe Milliarde Ausgaben in Bücherregalen und auf Nachtkästchen ruhen, ist die Kenntnis des Inhalts in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten auf Null gesunken. Wer weiß noch, was die Schlange zu Eva sagt; wie alt Noah war, als er Sem, Ham und Jafet zeugte; was bedeuten die Namen der Söhne Leas Ruben und Simeon und was träumt Josef die ganze Zeit? Um das zu wissen, braucht man »nur« die Genesis, das Erste Buch Moses gelesen zu haben, doch sogar dieser kurze Text ist heute den meisten fremd und rätselhaft. Also braucht man zum Einstieg diesen Atlas, der den Aufbau der Bibel und den geschichtlichen Hint...

The Old Man and the Sea (9780684801223)

*Winner of the Pulitzer Prize* "A beautiful tale, awash in the seasalt and sweat, bait and beer of the Havana coast. It tells a fundamental human truth: in a volatile world, from our first breath to our last wish, through triumphs and pitfalls both trivial and profound, what sustains us, ultimately, is hope." --The Guardian The last of his novels Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the most enduring works of American fiction. The story of a down-on-his-luck Cuban fisherman and his supreme ordeal--a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream--has been cherished by generations of readers. Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of adversity and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. First published in 1952, this hugely popular tale confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his wi...
