Yet indigenous knowledges are often viewed, incorrectly, as pure and primordial cultural artifacts. This collection draws from African and North American cases to argue that the forms of knowledge identified as "indigenous" resulted from strategies to control environmental resources during and after colonial encounters. At times indigenous knowledges represented a "middle ground" of intellectual exchanges between colonizers and colonized; elsewhere, indigenous knowledges were defined through conflic 410 0$aOhio University Press series in ecology and history. 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$zAfrica 606 $aTraditional ecological knowledge$zAfrica 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$zNorth America 606 $aTraditional ecological knowledge$zNorth America 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology 615 0$aTraditional ecological knowledge 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology 615 0$aTraditional ecological knowledge 676 $a304.2096 701 $aGordon$b David M.$f1970-$0855129 701 $aKrech$b Shepard$f1944-$0859646 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461805103321 996 $aIndigenous knowledge and the environment in Africa and North America$91918452 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$45.48$u10/04/2018$5Soc LEADER 03976nam 2200625 450 001 9910798409903321 005 20230808194741.0 010 $a90-04-33063-1 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004330634 035 $a(CKB)3710000000828729 035 $a(EBL)4715166 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16514207 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)15043656 035 $a(PQKB)22153990 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4715166 035 $a 2016031897 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004330634 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000828729 100 $a20160711d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe beginning of the world in Renaissance Jewish thought $eMa'aseh bereshit in Italian Jewish philosophy and kabbalah, 1492-1535 /$fby Brian Ogren 210 1$aLeiden ;$aBoston :$cBrill. 210 4$dc2016. 215 $a1 online resource (210 p.) 225 0 $aSupplements to the Journal of Jewish thought and philosophy ;$v27 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a90-04-33062-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPreliminary Material -- Introduction: In the Beginning -- 1 On the Wisdom of Language?Yohanan Alemanno on the Word of God and the Simulacrum of Creation -- 2 On the Wisdom of Christ?Giovanni Pico della Mirandola on the Truth of the Son and the Creation of the World -- 3 On the Wisdom of Angels?Isaac Abravanel on the Separate Intellects, Bodies, and the Garments of Creation -- 4 On the Wisdom of Beauty?Leone Ebreo on Art and Creation -- 5 Hylomorphic Time?Yohanan Alemanno on Form, Matter, and the Days of Creation -- 6 Edifices and Days?Giovanni Pico della Mirandola on Formation, Teshuvah, and the Return to Christ -- 7 Ex-Nihilo Creation?Isaac Abravanel on the Formation of the World, Evil, and Peace -- 8 Chaos and Divine Spirit?Leone Ebreo on Greek Mythology, Jewish Lore, and the Gendered Creation of the Universe -- Concluding Remarks: On Sources and Influences in Relation to ?The Beginning? -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 $aIn The Beginning of the World in Renaissance Jewish Thought , Brian Ogren offers a deep analysis of late fifteenth century Italian Jewish thought concerning the creation of the world and the beginning of time. Ogren?s book is the very first to seriously juxtapose the thought of the great Jewish thinker Yohanan Alemanno, Alemanno?s famed Christian interlocutor, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, the important Iberian exegete active in Italy, Isaac Abravanel, and Abravanel?s renowned philosopher son Judah, known as Leone Ebreo. By bringing these thinkers together, this book presents a new understanding of early modern uses of Jewish texts and hermeneutics. Ogren successfully demonstrates that the syntheses of philosophy and Kabbalah carried out by these four intellectuals in their quests to understand the beginning itself marked a new beginning in Western thought, characterized by simultaneous continuity and rupture. 410 0$aSupplements to The Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy$v27. 606 $aCreation$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aJewish philosophy$zItaly$xHistory$y15th century 606 $aJewish philosophy$zItaly$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aCabala$zItaly$xHistory$y15th century 606 $aCabala$zItaly$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aCreation in rabbinical literature 615 0$aCreation 615 0$aJewish philosophy$xHistory 615 0$aJewish philosophy$xHistory 615 0$aCabala$xHistory 615 0$aCabala$xHistory 615 0$aCreation in rabbinical literature. 676 $a296.09450903 700 $aOgren$b Brian$01520560 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798409903321 996 $aThe beginning of the world in Renaissance Jewish thought$93759195 997 $aUNINA
