The book asks why and how canonisation works and thereby investigates the importance of the concept of anchoring to arrive at innovation in particular.Canonisation is fundamental to the sustainability of cultures. This volume is meant as a (theoretical) exploration of the process, taking Eurasian societies from roughly the first millennium BCE (Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Egyptian, Jewish and Roman) as case studies. It focuses on canonisation as a form of cultural formation, asking why and how canonisation works in this particular way and explaining the importance of the first millennium BCE for these question and vice versa. As a result of this focus, notions like anchoring, cultural memory, embedding and innovation play an important role throughout the book.Euhormos: Greco-Roman Studies in Anchoring Innovation ;03.Anchoring Cultural Formation in the First Millennium BCECriticismCanon (Literature)Assyro-Babylonian literaturePersian literatureGreek literature, HellenisticEgyptian literatureJewish literatureHebrew literatureRoman literatureBiblical StudiesClassical StudiesGreek & Latin LiteratureHebrew BibleAncient Near East and EgyptAuthors, Texts, Literature.Criticism.Canon (Literature)Assyro-Babylonian literaturePersian literatureGreek literature, HellenisticEgyptian literatureJewish literatureHebrew literatureRoman literatureBiblical Studies.Classical Studies.Greek & Latin Literature.Hebrew Bible.220.096Agut-Labordère DamienVersluys Miguel JohnDavies Philip RNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910776166803321Canonisation as Innovation3824002UNINA
