La quête des signes 3Désemparée face à la perte immense qu'elle vient de subir, Zia décide de poursuivre son long voyage initiatique malgré la peine et les obstacles. Au fur et à mesure des rencontres, des soins qu'elle prodigue avec abnégation et compassion, elle prend conscience du fabuleux héritage laissé par Lidova et réalise les attentes immenses des gens qui l'accueillent. Néanmoins, elle se doit d'aller jusqu'au bout de sa promesse faite à la vieille guérisseuse des Haganitas de déposer l'amulette-totem dans la grotte sacrée. Seule, elle affronte la périlleuse traversée des montagnes et manque d'y perdre la vie. Déterminée, elle n'hésite pas à s'aventurer dans les entrailles de la Terre-Mère avec son chien Cani. Son incroyable volonté de se battre et son énergie pour affronter l'adversité vont cependant être réduites à néant.Au bout des grandes plaines d'Europe centrale et des fatalités qui s'abattent sur lui, Kadmeron découvre enfin un village où les signes-mots semblent rythmer les événements et embellir tous les aspects de l'existence. Ce peuple inconnu maîtrise des techniques nouvelles qui le fascinent. Il observe les premiers champs cultivés et commence à percer les secrets qui lui ont fait traverser des milliers de kilomètres avec la manifestation terrestre de son esprit protecteur, le cheval Potac. Mais la grotte des esprits-animaux l'appelle. Lui aussi doit respecter son engagement chamanique fait à la mère bisonne. Pour éviter à tout prix la répétition de la malédiction du grand cerf, il part à la recherche de ce lieu sacré, dissimulé par le relief, la végétation, et protégé par de féroces prédateurs.Un hasard incroyable réunit enfin ces deux jeunes qu'un monde séparait. Ils apprennent petit à petit à se parler, à se connaître. Une complicité s'établit ainsi qu'un désir réciproque, teinté de respect et de curiosité pour cet Autre venu de si loin. Mais ce jeune couple qui se forme doit trouver la force de résister à l'adversité et aux préjugés. Pourront-ils chacun affronter le poids des coutumes, de l'ignorance et de l'orgueil ? Leur amour naissant résistera-t-il aux ambitions de leur entourage ? Il y a plus de six millénaires avant notre ère, l'Europe du Mésolithique est ébranlée par des cataclysmes climatiques. Des pluies diluviennes s'abattent sur le monde, la Mer Méditerranée envahit les côtes. Les eaux de l'Océan Atlantique montent de plusieurs mètres à cause de la fonte massive des glaciers polaires, détruisant des villages et chassant des populations terrifiées. Bien que la partie orientale du continent semble moins touchée, la Mer Noire ne cesse de se remplir et de gagner du terrain sur le littoral.C'est le début d'une période de migrations forcées qui placent l'humanité dans une situation terrible. Comment se sont organisés nos ancêtres pour faire face à la furie des eaux et au réchauffement climatique ? Avec quelles technologies ont-ils réussi à survivre ? Quelles alliances ont-ils dû forger pour arriver à dépasser ces terribles catastrophes ?

"Ancient Society: Researches in the Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, through Barbarism to Civilization" is a seminal work by American anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan, first published in 1877. Morgan's book is considered a foundational text in the field of anthropology, particularly in the study of social evolution and cultural development. The central theme of "Ancient Society" revolves around Morgan's theory of social evolution, which he articulated through the concept of three successive stages: savagery, barbarism, and civilization. Morgan proposed that human societies had progressed through these stages, each marked by distinct economic, social, and technological characteristics. Savagery: In this stage, according to Morgan, societies were characterized by a reliance on hunting and gathering as their primary means of subsistence. The family, as a social institution, was organized around kinship and communal living. Technological developments during this stage included the use of simple tools and the absence of agriculture. Barbarism: The next stage, barbarism, was marked by the development of agriculture and the domestication of animals. This allowed for the establishment of settled communities and the emergence of more complex social structures. The family evolved into larger kinship groups, and advancements in technology included the use of metals. Civilization: The final stage, civilization, was characterized by the presence of advanced technologies, the development of written language, and complex social and political institutions. According to Morgan, private property and class distinctions became prominent during this stage. Morgan supported his theories with extensive research, drawing on evidence from a wide range of cultures, especially indigenous societies in North America. He also proposed a classification system for kinship terminology, which has had a lasting impact on the study of kinship relations in anthropology. While some aspects of Morgan's work have been criticized and revised over time, "Ancient Society" remains an influential text that laid the groundwork for the study of cultural evolution and anthropology. It has stimulated ongoing debates and discussions about the nature of human societies and their development.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 2,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Veranstaltung: Basiskurs, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Imperiale Bestrebungen und die Kritik an solchen Bemühungen haben mit dem Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine im Jahr 2022 wieder an Aktualität gewonnen. Kritik an einer kriegsfördernden Imperialpolitik beschränkt sich dabei nicht nur auf autoritäre Staaten, sondern verurteilt ähnliche Strategien demokratischer Großmächte wie den USA. Auch im antiken Griechenland kritisierte Thukydides imperialistische Tendenzen der athenischen Politik. Diese führten zu einem der größten Feldzüge Athens, der sizilischen Expedition. Im Laufe dieser Arbeit werden die tatsächlichen Absichten Athens bei der Entscheidung zu diesem Feldzug genauer darstellt werden. Das Vorhandensein einer kohärenten athenischen Imperialpolitik ist dabei nicht unumstritten. So spricht Baring den Athener die Fähigkeit zur Umsetzung einer imperialen Politik gleich völlig ab. Für diese Unfähigkeit macht er das Fehlen einer politischen Einheit aus. Diese Sichtweise bildet jedoch eher die Ausnahme im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs. Im Gegensatz zu Barings Ansatz identifiziert Meiggs die Abgaben- und Tributstrukturen der Athener im attischen Seebund als klare Bestandteile einer imperialistischen Strategie. Auch für Galpin sind Abgaben Teil von wirtschaftlichen und militärischen Maßnahmen, welche den Kurs einer imperialen Politik widerspiegeln.Diese Arbeit wird die Bedeutung imperialistischer Vorstellungen Athens im Kontext der sizilischen Expedition genauer beleuchten. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den wichtigsten Motiven bei der Entscheidung zum Feldzug und deren tatsächlichen imperialistischen Gehalt. Berücksichtigt werden sowohl die Überlegungen der politischen Führung als auch die Beweggründe der Volksversammlung, die letztlich der Expedition zustimmte.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,0, Universität Potsdam (Alte Geschichte), Veranstaltung: Proseminar Griechische Tyrannis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Laufe dieser Arbeit soll die Leitfrage "Inwiefern verhalfen Peisistratos' Mittel der Legitimation zur Errichtung seiner drei Tyrannis über Athen?" beantwortet werden. Hierbei soll ebenso erläutert werden, ob er heimlich vorging oder ob er sein Handeln öffentlich demonstrierte, um als Tyrann in Athen 'Fuß zu fassen'. Daher ist das Ziel dieser Arbeit herauszufinden, wie Peisistratos trotz zweier Niederlagen die Herrschaft erlangen konnte und welche Mittel er für seine Legitimation nutzte.Die Unzufriedenheit der Bevölkerung, Rivalitäten zwischen Aristokraten und soziale und wirtschaftliche Missstände waren in der Archaik an der Tagesordnung und stellten begünstigende Faktoren für die Errichtung einer Tyrannis dar. Tyrannen erlangten dabei keinesfalls, wie es bei den Königen üblich war, durch legitime und gesetzeskonforme Mittel die Macht, sondern griffen auf Gewalt und Listen zur Etablierung ihrer Tyrannis zurück. Exemplarisch war dafür die Unterstützung von Söldnern oder eine geschickte Selbstinszenierung vor dem Volk. Peisistratos bemühte sich drei Mal die Macht über Athen zu ergreifen, was ihm bei seinem letzten Versuch durch die Hilfe von Söldnern und Unterstützern gelang. Durch sein mehrmaliges Bestreben und die unterschiedlichen Arten, um seine Tyrannis durchzusetzen, bietet Peisistratos den idealen Untersuchungsgegenstand meiner Leitfrage. Um die Fragestellung zu beantworten, bilden Herodot und Aristoteles meine Quellengrundlage, da beide die drei Tyrannenherrschaften des Peisistratos beschrieben. Thukydides äußerte sich lediglich zum Ende der Tyrannis von Peisistratos über ihn und widmete sich anschließend eher seinen Söhnen, weshalb dieser für die Hausarbeit nicht von großer Relevanz ist. Auch in der modernen Forschung stellen Aristoteles und Herodot die Hauptquellen für die Tyrannis von Peisistratos dar, jedoch wurden hierbei auch einige Schilderungen kritisch beleuchtet. Besonders in Bezug auf die drei Gruppierungen, welche sich laut Aristoteles durch lokale und verfassungspolitische Merkmale unterschieden, wird von einem Anachronismus gesprochen. Daher ist es für diese Leitfrage von besonderer Bedeutsamkeit die Quellen kritisch zu hinterfragen und mithilfe der modernen Literatur ein Urteil zu entwickeln. Diese Arbeit wird zuerst das Wesen der Tyrannis ausführlich beschreiben, um die Merkmale und Besonderheiten dieser herauszufinden.

Daniel O'Quinn investigates the complex interpersonal, political, and aesthetic relationships between Europeans and Ottomans in the long eighteenth century. Bookmarking his analysis with the conflict leading to the 1699 Treaty of Karlowitz on one end and the 1815 bid for Greek independence on the other, he follows the fortunes of notable British, Dutch, and French diplomats to the Sublime Porte of the Ottoman Empire as they lived and worked according to the capitulations surrendered to the Sultan.Closely reading a mixed archive of drawings, maps, letters, dispatches, memoirs, travel narratives, engraved books, paintings, poems, and architecture, O'Quinn demonstrates the extent to which the Ottoman state was not only the subject of historical curiosity in Europe but also a key foil against which Western theories of governance were articulated. Juxtaposing narrative accounts of diplomatic life in Constantinople, such as those contained in the letters of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, wife of the English ambassador, with visual depictions such as those of the costumes of the Ottoman elite produced by the French-Flemish painter Jean Baptiste Vanmour, he traces the dissemination of European representations and interpretations of the Ottoman Empire throughout eighteenth-century material culture.In a series of eight interlocking chapters, O'Quinn presents sustained and detailed case studies of particular objects, personalities, and historical contexts, framing intercultural encounters between East and West through a set of key concerns: translation, mediation, sociability, and hospitality. Richly illustrated and provocatively argued, Engaging the Ottoman Empire demonstrates that study of the Ottoman world is vital to understanding European modernity.

The Islamic occupation of the Algarve during the Middle Ages left a strong legacy in many areas of Portuguese culture. We call this territorial domain Gharb al-Andalus. In addition to the intangible legacy, the material remains discovered throughout the region attest to the long permanence of Islamic occupation. Within these parameters, a large number of Islamic buildings have been classified as National Monuments and Buildings of Public Interest. However, many of these structures leave us in doubt as to the state of preservation and dissemination of the heritage to local communities. This book addresses this shortcoming in an informative way, with fact sheets on Islamic heritage in the Algarve. Safeguarding the built cultural heritage is a patent that should not be ignored and, hopefully, new initiatives to protect the legacy of our history and culture will be realised.
