In this book, Stratford sets out to recapture time through narrative, drawing on the relationship between the two described by the philosopher Paul Ricouer. Investigating a possible case of revenge leads to weaving together more than a hundred mostly undated documents to form a narrative within the course of a single year of vengeance, including trade disruptions, illnesses, and commerce. This process demonstrates relationships between document and material context, and time and narrative. Along the way, Old Assyrian commercial time and its tempos become more clear, leading to descriptions of the scale of the trade and the nature of Old Assyrian archives as they have survived. Ultimately, the Assyrians involved appear as the earliest historical individuals in world history. The treatment of Šalim-aḫum's apparent revenge comprises a practicuum in historical interpretation in the ancient world of interest to practitioners and theoreticians of both the ancient world and world history.HISTORY / Middle East / GeneralbisacshAssyriaCommerceAssyriaEconomic conditionsEconomic history.ancient trade.microhistory.time and narrative.HISTORY / Middle East / General.380.10935Stratford Edward1661939MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818478103321A year of vengeance4018168UNINA04210nam 22006975 450 991048466530332120231110134532.09783030376512303037651610.1007/978-3-030-37651-2(CKB)4100000011469495(MiAaPQ)EBC6355955(DE-He213)978-3-030-37651-2(Perlego)3481739(EXLCZ)99410000001146949520200922d2020 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEconomies of Literature and Knowledge in Early Modern Europe Change and Exchange /edited by Subha Mukherji, Dunstan Roberts, Rebecca Tomlin, George Oppitz-Trotman1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (XV, 282 p. 15 illus., 4 illus. in color.)

Freedom from Debt: The Economies of The Tempest.Placing 'literature' at the centre of Renaissance economic knowledge, this book offers a distinct intervention in the history of early modern epistemology. This book is premised on the belief that early modern practices of change and exchange produced a range of epistemic shifts and crises, which, nonetheless, lacked a systematic vocabulary. These essays collectively tap into the imaginative kernel at the core of economic experience, to grasp and give expression to some of its more elusive experiential dimensions. The essays gathered here probe the early modern interface between imaginative and mercantile knowledge, between technologies of change in the field of commerce and transactions in the sphere of cultural production, and between forms of transaction and representation. In the process, they go beyond the specific interrelation of economic life and literary work to bring back into view the thresholds between economics on the one hand, and religious, legal and natural philosophical epistemologies on the other.Crossroads of Knowledge in Early Modern Literature,2946-4463 ;2European literatureRenaissance, 1450-1600DramaEuropean literatureTheaterHistoryEconomicsHistoryEarly Modern and Renaissance LiteratureDramaEuropean LiteratureTheatre HistoryHistory of Economic Thought and MethodologyEuropean literatureDrama.European literature.TheaterHistory.EconomicsHistory.Early Modern and Renaissance Literature.Drama.European Literature.Theatre History.History of Economic Thought and Methodology.809.933553809.41Mukherji SubhaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484665303321Economies of literature and knowledge in early modern Europe2005589UNINA
