A commonly accepted premise of their work was that these communities garnered their technological knowledge if not their populations from regions to the south and west in present-day Iran. Since 2010 we have reinvestigated one of these sites, the small Late Neolithic (ca. 6200-5600 BCE) and early Aeneolithic (ca. 4800-4350 BCE) village of Monjukli Depe. Our research examines microhistories of cultural techniques as a source of insights into long-term and spatially extensive change as well as internal variations and similarities in material practices. This volume presents results of this work. A Bayesian modeling of 14C dates demonstrates a long hiatus between the Neolithic and Aeneolithic strata of the site as well as a hitherto unattested very early Aeneolithic phase ("Meana Horizon"). A sequence of densely built, well preserved Aeneolithic houses exhibits marked similarities to earlier Neolithic architecture in the region. Despite overall standardized plans, the houses reveal significant variations in internal features and practices. Similar flexibility within a set of common dispositions is evident in burial practices. Very limited quantities of pottery offer a stark contrast to the frequent occurrence of spindle whorls, indicating a substantial production of thread, and to a large and varied assemblage of clay tokens. A wide variety of fire installations attests to routinized handling of fire, which did not prevent at least one building from succumbing to a conflagration. Animal herding was heavily based on sheep and goats, while cattle figured prominently in feasts. The Meana tradition at Monjukli Depe exhibits significant structural similarities to other early village societies in Western Asia and will make this volume of interest to scholars working on similar times and contexts"--Page 4 of cover. 607 $aTurkmenistan$xAntiquities 676 $a958.5 702 $aPollock$b Susan 702 $aBernbeck$b Reinhard$f1958- 702 $aO?gu?t$b Birgu?l 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793878903321 996 $aLooking closely$93734909 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03429nam 2200517 450 001 9910795325803321 005 20230817190046.0 010 $a0-8135-9228-3 024 7 $a10.36019/9780813592282 035 $a(CKB)4970000000109314 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5880426 035 $a(DE-B1597)528534 035 $a(OCoLC)1100457948 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780813592282 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5880426 035 $a(EXLCZ)994970000000109314 100 $a20190927d2019 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSerial selves $eidentity and representation in autobiographical comics /$fFederick Byrn Køhlert 210 1$aNew Brunswick, New Jersey :$cRutgers University Press,$d[2019] 210 4$d©2019 215 $a1 online resource (v, 231 pages) $cillustrations 311 0 $a0-8135-9225-9 311 0 $a0-8135-9229-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 211-221) and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tIntroduction: Serial Selves --$t1.

In Serial Selves, Frederik Byrn Køhlert examines the genre's potential for representing lives and perspectives that have been socially marginalized or excluded. With a focus on the comics form's ability to produce alternative and challenging autobiographical narratives, thematic chapters investigate the work of artists writing from perspectives of marginality including gender, sexuality, disability, and race, as well as trauma. Interdisciplinary in scope and attuned to theories and methods from both literary and visual studies, the book provides detailed formal analysis to show that the highly personal and hand-drawn aesthetics of comics can help artists push against established narrative and visual conventions, and in the process invent new ways of seeing and being seen. As the first comparative study of how comics artists from a wide range of backgrounds use the form to write and draw themselves into cultural visibility, Serial Selves will be of interest to anyone interested in the current boom in autobiographical comics, as well as issues of representation in comics and visual culture more broadly. 606 $aAutobiographical comic books, strips, etc$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSelf-perception in art 606 $aNarrative art$xThemes, motives 615 0$aAutobiographical comic books, strips, etc.$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSelf-perception in art. 615 0$aNarrative art$xThemes, motives. 676 $a741.535 700 $aKøhlert$b Frederik Byrn$01572891 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795325803321 996 $aSerial selves$93857019 997 $aUNINA
