Sommario/riassunto |
|
This multi-disciplinary account of the fate of ancient monuments and technologies in Asia Minor studies the processes and their results with the help of archaeology, history, construction engineering, and travel documentation. To clarify changes, their causes and repercussions, it compares infrastructure engineering (transportation, water management, utilitarian architecture) in antiquity with developments over the past 200 years, using the accounts of European travellers and then of excavations. It analyses patterns of and reasons for the deterioration of material life, documenting the perceptions and |

understanding of Roman antiquities and engineering by populations living amidst ancient Roman art and architecture, roads, and aqueducts. These are complemented by travellers' accounts of the myriad aspects of the plundering of archaeological sites and antiquities. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Comment se représente-t-on le corps dans le monde hindou ? Comment y est-il pensé et décrit ? Alors même que des recherches anthropologiques sur la société indienne l’ont placé au fondement des rapports sociaux entre castes, ou à la base des conceptions sur l’impureté, le corps n’avait jusqu’ici guère été étudié en lui-même. Aussi ce livre s’attache-t-il à restituer la multiplicité et la complexité de ses représentations, depuis la période védique ancienne jusqu’à nos jours, à travers l’iconographie, les images verbales, les pratiques corporelles d’exception ou les interactions quotidiennes. Quatre principaux domaines sont abordés. Après des approches historiques et épistémologiques mettant à jour diverses logiques de description et d’utilisation référentielle du corps, celui-ci est envisagé dans sa dimension ésotérique comme microcosme, support et objet d'ensembles complexes de représentations et de pratiques, en particulier du yoga et des tantras. Puis, divers aspects de son élaboration visuelle, gestuelle et perceptive sont examinés, dans le cadre de rituels de dévotion, de chants de mariage, de macérations ascétiques ou du cinéma populaire hindi. Enfin, une dernière partie analyse en quoi le corps est un lieu d'inscription de rapports sociaux variés. Des constantes émergent, qui montrent que si toutes ces représentations coexistent et se juxtaposent, elles n’en sont pas moins hiérarchisées, comme le sont les corps eux-mêmes. L'ensemble des contributions réunies ne se limite pas aux spéculations savantes. Il s'appuie tout autant sur les traditions orales, sur les règles légales, sur l’observation contemporaine des pratiques effectives - bref, sur la diversité des faits et des paroles qui manifestent, en Inde, les multiples réalités des corps. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Murder in our Midst analyses the ways in which the Holocaust has been represented in a variety of media - academic histories, popular literature, poetry, cinema, art, memorials, and museums. Bartov addresses such issues as how different cultures have come to terms with the Holocaust and with what effects in times of peace and war. |
