Paperback. Condición: New. The essays collected in this volume represent a selection of studies, previously published mainly in Italian, that make explicit use of anthropological and semiological tools in order to analyze important texts of historical nature from various regions of the Ancient Near East. They suggest that these historiographical texts were of a 'true' historical nature, and that the literary forms and mental models employed were very apt at accomplishing the intended results. Two different aspects are especially emphasized: myth and politics.…

Paperback. Condición: New. How artists have examined the legacies of American-led military engagement in IraqThe 1991 Gulf War marked the start of a lengthy period of American-led military involvement in Iraq that led to more than a decade of sanctions, the 2003 Iraq War, and ongoing repercussions throughout the region. Though the Iraq War officially ended in 2011, artists have continued to examine these conflicts and their impacts. Theater of Operations: The Gulf Wars 1991-2011 charts the effects of these wars on cultural production in Iraq and throughout its diasporas, as well as responses to the wars in the West, revealing how this period was defined by unsettling intersections of spectacularized violence and new imperialisms. The exhibition features more than 80 artists and collectives, including Afifa Aleiby, Dia al-Azzawi, Thuraya al-Baqsami, Paul Chan, Harun Farocki, Guerrilla Girls, Thomas Hirschhorn, Hiwa K, Hanaa Malallah, Monira Al Qadiri, Nuha al-Radi and Ala Younis.This catalog features newly commissioned essays by Zainab Bahrani, Rijin Sahakian, Nada Shabout and McKenzie Wark alongside texts by exhibition co-curators Peter Eleey and Ruba Katrib. Excerpts from period journals by artist Nuha Al-Radi and anonymous blogger Riverbend detail life in Iraq over two decades of war, sanctions and occupation. Reprinted essays from Jean Baudrillard and Serge Daney provide additional context, delving into the effects of the conflict upon media and visual culture.…

Rústica. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Nuevo. 01. En este libro se reúne una selección de ensayos que a lo largo de los años setenta y ochenta dedicó el autor a la historiografía del Próximo Oriente antiguo. La mayoría de ellos son reconstrucciones históricas basadas en antiguos mitos y leyendas. Todos son investigaciones rigurosas e innovadoras sobre la forma de abordar los documentos antiguos por parte del historiador. Una de las principales aportaciones metodológicas es la aplicación del análisis estructural a estos mitos. Es el caso del mito babilónico de Adapa, una saga antidiluviana vinculada al ciclo de la vegetación y de la muerte, cuyas claves están en la lectura antropológica de la hospitalidad y de la reciprocidad. O el carácter propagandístico de los edictos reales hititas, su manipulación política y retórica, donde la paridad, la simetría y la igualdad de rango entre reyes enmascaran situaciones de sumisión y subordinación, o bien la forma en que reyes usurpadores, como Idrimi de Alalah, Sargón de Akkad o Hattushili III, presentaron sus respectivas historias como un cuento de hadas , a fin de justificar sus aspiraciones al trono. O la insistente y reiterativa correspondencia entre el rey de Biblos, Rib-Adda, y el faraón egipcio, en la que aquel utiliza recursos literarios para presentar el lamento por la pérdida de la edad de oro de su ciudad, en un contexto de frustración política. Por último, la leyenda bíblica de Joás salvado de niño por un pariente y reconocido años después como monarca a través de un relato dirigido a legitimar sus derechos. LIBRO.…
