Der parthisch-römische Friedhof von Tall Šēḫ Hamad/Magdala
No full textIm 5. Band der ‘Berichte der Ausgrabung in Tall Scheich Hamad/Dur-katlimmu’ werden 313 Gräber eines ausgedehnten Friedhofes bearbeitet, die in den Jahren zwischen 1984 und 1987 sowie zwischen 1992 und 1995 in der ‘Mittleren Unterstadt II ’ freigelegt wurden. Die Bestattungen, die in die parthisch-römische Zeit datiert werden können, waren in den Baubestand der assyrisch-babylonischen Epoche eingetieft und haben diese zum Teil in einem erheblichen Ausmass gestört. Ziel der Bearbeitung ist es, über die reine Befund- und Fundanalyse hinaus zu Aussagen bezüglich der kultursoziologischen und kulturhistorischen Hintergründe zu gelangen. Hierzu wird zunächst jeder Komplex gesondert untersucht, bevor eine Synthese zu Ergebnissen führen kann
Theodor Storm's novelle ''Carsten Curator': An evaluation of the terms "Befreiungsdichtung" and "das Peinliche".
No full textThis thesis undertakes an analysis of two interrelated aspects of Theodor Storm's later prose writing. The Novelle Carsten Curator (1877) has been selected since this work constitutes the most significant example of both "Befreiungsdichtung" and "das Peinliche". A definition of "Befreiungsdichtung" - the artistic projection of personal experience as an act of 'self-liberation' - and the way this is revealed in a series of earlier works is the subject of the first chapter. The following three chapters offer a study of the genesis of Carsten Curator and show by an investigation into Storm's relationship with his eldest son (Chapter 2) the extent of the autobiographical content in the Novelle (Chapter 4) and Storm's awareness of its 'confessional' nature while writing it (Chapter 3). The second part of the thesis concerns itself with artistic problems which thereby arose for Storm. The creative process conditioned Storm's treatment of the thematic complex of heredity, alcoholism and paternal responsibility in Carsten Curator and brought with it a degree of realism which the author and his more sensitive critics found 'unpoetic' and thus 'offensive' (Chapter 5). This constitutes "das Peinliche", which Storm believed detracted from the 'tragic' nature of the central conflict. The following two chapters assess Carsten Curator in the light of Storm's theoretical definitions of "das Tragische" and draw the conclusion that the Novelle is a prime example of his mature tragic art. Chapter 8 discusses the implications of "das Peinliche" for a study of Storm's later Novellen (1877 - 1888), including the development of his realism, the effects of literary censorship on his later treatment of the central themes of Carsten Curator and his knowledge of Naturalist literature, showing the absence of any direct influence where these themes are concerned. The thesis concludes that Storm's continuing preoccupation with the themes of Carsten Curator after 1877 can be attributed only to their 'confessional' nature

Naturalizing institutions: Evolutionary principles and application on the case of money
No full textIn recent extensions of the Darwinian paradigm into economics, the replicator-interactor duality looms large. I propose a strictly naturalistic approach to this duality in the context of the theory of institutions, which means that its use is seen as being always and necessarily dependent on identifying a physical realization. I introduce a general framework for the analysis of institutions, which synthesizes Searle's and Aoki's theories, especially with regard to the role of public representations (signs) in the coordination of actions, and the function of cognitive processes that underly rule-following as a behavioral disposition. This allows to conceive institutions as causal circuits that connect the population-level dynamics of interactions with cognitive phenomena on the individual level. Those cognitive phenomena ultimately root in neuronal structures. So, I draw on a critical restatement of the concept of the meme by Aunger to propose a new conceptualization of the replicator in the context of institutions, namely, the replicator is a causal conjunction between signs and neuronal structures which undergirds the dispositions that generate rule-following actions. Signs, in turn, are outcomes of population-level interactions. I apply this framework on the case of money, analyzing the emotions that go along with the use of money, and presenting a stylized account of the emergence of money in terms of the naturalized Searle-Aoki model. In this view, money is a neuronally anchored metaphor for emotions relating with social exchange and reciprocity. Money as a meme is physically realized in a replicator which is a causal conjunction of money artefacts and money emotions. --Generalized Darwinism,institutions,replicator/interactor,Searle,Aoki,naturalism,memes,emotions,money
Teil I
No full textIm Grabungsabschnitt „Mittlere Unterstadt II“ sind insgesamt 732 Grabkomplexe eines parthisch-römischen Gräberfeldes (Friedhofs) ausgegraben worden. Sie sind einschließlich der anthropologischen Untersuchungen in den Bänden BATSH 5, 13-1 und 13-2 publiziert. Der abschließenden Bewertung von B. Wehry zufolge (BATSH 13-2) wurde das Gräberfeld in vier Zeitstufen vom Ende des 3. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. bis ins 3. Jahrhundert n.Chr. belegt. Zusammen mit den gleichzeitigen Siedlungsbefunden im Grabungsabschnitt Tell/Zitadelle (BATSH 2) entsteht das seltene Ensemble einer Stadt und eines Gräberfeldes, das mit dem Ortsnamen „Magdala“ identifiziert werden kann. Mit Blick auf die bekannten eher dürftigen schriftlichen und materiellen Zeugnissen trägt das Ensemble „Stadt und Friedhof von Magdala“ erheblich zu unser Kenntnis über parthisch-römische Berührungen im umkämpften Grenzbereich am Habur und am Mittleren Euphrat bei.
In diesem Band werden die archäologischen Befunde von 313 Grabkomplexen vorgelegt (M. Novák und A. Oettel, Kap. X). M. Novák typologisiert die Gräber (Kap. II), A. Oettel die Beigaben (Kap. III), und C. Römer handelt die Keramik ab (Kap. IV). Daraus ergibt sich eine erste chronologische Bewertung (M. Novák und A. Oettel, Kap. V). In Kap. VI folgt dann die Darlegung der Ergebnisse der anthropologischen Untersuchungen von C. Witzel, H. Schutkowski und B. Ehlken. Auf der Grundlage dieser beiden Eckpfeiler nehmen M. Novák und A. Oettel eine kultursoziologische Interpretation (Kap. VII) und eine Einordnung in den kulturhistorischen Kontext vor (Kap. VIII), in dem die Bedeutung für Nordmesopotamien diskutiert wird.In the excavation unit „Central Lower Town II” 732 graves of a Parthian-Roman cemetery were excavated. Including the anthropological investigations, they are published in the volumes BATSH 5, 13-1, and 13-2. According to the final assessment by B. Wehry (BATSH 13-2) the cemetery was occupied in four intervals from the end of the 3rd century BC to the beginning of the 3rd century AD. Corresponding to the excavated levels of a contemporary settlement on the citadel/Tell published in BATSH 2 this evidence constitutes a rare ensemble of a town with its adjacent cemetery and of its population that is associated with the place name Magdala. In view of the known rather scanty textual and material sources this archaeological evidence contributes to our knowledge about the Parthian-Roman contacts in this heavily contested border region of the Habur and the Middle Euphrates.
This volume catalogues the archaeological record of 313 graves (M. Novák and A. Oettel, chap. X). They are classified in chap. II (M. Novák); the grave goods are presented in chap. III (A. Oettel), and the pottery in chap. IV (C. Roemer). On this basis a preliminary chronological assessment is derived in chap. V (M. Novák and A. Oettel). The results of the anthropological investigations are presented in chap. VI (C. Witzel, H. Schutkowski, B. Ehlken). Based on these two columns of evidence M. Novák and A. Oettel give a socio-cultural interpretation (chap. VII) and an assessment of the cultural-historical context (chap. VIII) in which they discuss the significance of this new archaeological evidence
A Conversation with Carsten Wergin, Author of Tourism, Indigeneity, and the Importance of Place
No full textIn this edition of Lexington Books\u27 Anthropology of Tourism: Heritage, Mobility and Society Author Conversation webinar, series editor Michael A. Di Giovine talks to Carsten Wergin about his book, Tourism, Indigeneity and the Importance of Place: Fighting for Heritage at Australia\u27s Last Frontier. A vivid, sophisticated ethnography, Wergin\u27s book analyzes what is one of the largest environmental protest actions in Australian history: the Walmadany/James Price Point conflict. The discussion ranges from Indigenous Heritage and Indigenous Tourism, to the ways in which heritage preservation and resource extraction are both opposed to each other, but, in many ways, coexist in a transecological sense. They discuss the Lurujarri Heritage Trail and the ways in which Indigenous culture and Indigenous learning is cultivated among foreign and domestic tourists, and how such indigenous tourism initiatives can work to destabilize outside forces, as well as create avenues for collaboration and mutual understanding. A lively Q and A with critical heritage studies students from West Chester University addresses ethnographic methods and ethics, the future of these environmental protests, and the relevance of transecological and indigenous conceptions of heritage on current-day conflicts in which various groups around the world produce differing heritage claims on contested land

No full textMaking sense of institutional change in China: The cultural dimension of economic growth and modernization
No full textBuilding on a new model of institutions proposed by Aoki and the systemic approach to economic civilizations outlined by Kuran, this paper attempts an analysis of the cultural foundations of recent Chinese economic development. I argue that the cultural impact needs to be conceived as a creative process that involves linguistic entities and other public social items in order to provide integrative meaning to economic interactions and identities to different agents involved. I focus on three phenomena that stand at the center of economic culture in China, networks, localism and modernism. I eschew the standard dualism of individualism vs. collectivism in favour of a more detailed view on the self in social relationships. The Chinese pattern of social relations, guanxi, is also a constituent of localism, i.e. a peculiar arrangement and resulting dynamics of central-local interactions in governing the economy. Localism is balanced by culturalist controls of the center, which in contemporary China builds on the worldview of modernism. Thus, economic modernization is a cultural phenomenon on its own sake. I summarize these interactions in a process analysis based on Aoki's framework. --Aoki,culture and the economy,emics/etics,guanxi,relational collectivism,central/local government relations,culturalism,population quality,consumerism
