    Late Old Kingdom chronology – another model. Ägypten und Levante|Ägypten und Levante XXXI 31|

    No full text
    Posener-Kriéger who recognized two lunar dates in the Neferirkare archive limited her analysis to relative chronology. There are two possibilities: either both lunar dates fell in the reign of of Asosi, or one in Asosi‘s reign, and the other in a year of Unas. In the present article the possible absolute years for the two lunar dates are computed, together with extrapolated lunar dates, both under the assumption that at the time there was a regular succession of years with and without a census. The resulting chronology is an alternative to Gautschy’s model which she based on Nolan’s hypothesis that years after the census were counted when a thirteenth lunar month had to be taken into consideration

    The Matrimonial Property Law in Vietnam 1858–1975 in the Mirror of the European Legal Development. Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs|Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs Band 2 / 2020|

    The development of Vietnamʹs legal system has been heavily influenced by invasions from China (178 BC–939 AC), France (1858–1954) and the United States (1954–1975). These invading forces applied their own regulations and administrative models to establish neocolonialism. Aside from direct European influence on Vietnamʹs legislative system, Eastern European socialist ideology has also played an essential role in shaping Vietnamese laws. This paper aims to describe the significant formative influences that Europe had on the Vietnamese legal system between 1858 and 1975. Specifically, this study focusses on the development of matrimonial property law

    Die Festung mit Palast von Ramses III. in Tell el-Qolzum (Suez). Ägypten und Levante|Ägypten und Levante XXXI 31|

    Even the scarce information hitherto known suggested that the excavations carried out by Shafik Farid from 1960 to 1962 in Tell el- Qolzum had uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved fortress of the New Kingdom. Unfortunately, the results of the excavations have never been published. It is therefore a fortunate coincidence that two photographs of the plans were recently discovered in the archives of the Schweizer Institut für ägyptische Bauforschung und Altertumskunde in Kairo, which show the building remains from the Byzantine period and from the New Kingdom that were uncovered under Farid’s supervision. Farid had apparently made the plans available to the then director of the Swiss Institute, Herbert Ricke, for a book project that was never completed. The plans are now presented in the following article, accompanied by some introductory remarks. While the younger building layer provides additions to older excavations by B. Bruyère, the plan of the New Kingdom layer reveals the most completely excavated fortification complex in Egypt to date. Particularly remarkable is a royal palace in the centre of the fortress and the uniformly planned, almost model-like overall structure of the fortress, which reveals a great structural similarity to the temple town of Medinet Habu. The construction of the fortress is probably to be seen in connection with Ramesses III’s interest in raw materials from the Sinai and the regions further east attested by Papyrus Harris I

    The Toleration of Dual Citizenship: A Global Trend and its Limits. Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|

    No full text
    This chapter summarises the causes of the strong global trend towards the toleration of dual citizenship but then focuses on its possible limits and reasons for resistance by some states. I consider specifically why the two largest states in terms of population – China and India – adhere to a policy of strict non-toleration of multiple citizenship out of security concerns and adversarial ideologies of national sovereignty. I also examine the Eastern European context where policies of regional hegemony (by Russia) and the mobilisation of ethnic kin minorities in the near abroad for buttressing the domestic hegemony of political incumbents (by Hungary) have triggered counter-reactions against dual citizenship in neighbouring states. In so-called Western democracies, security concerns about terrorism have not led to a retreat from dual citizenship but have turned a second citizenship into a potential liability, as the possession of it allows states to denationalise citizens whom they consider to be a threat. Finally, the chapter considers whether demand and supply for dual citizenship might shrink if the hyperglobalisation since the 1990s were partly reversed in response to pandemics and the climate crisis
