 Free Download Geraldine Delley, "History of Archaeology: International Perspectives: Proceedings of the XVII UISPP World Congress " English | ISBN: 1784913979 | 2016 | 246 pages | PDF | 5 MB The present volume gathers the communications of the three sessions organized under the auspices of the Commission 'History of Archaeology' at the XVII UISPP World Congress Burgos 2014. The first part deals precisely with 'International relations in the history of archaeology'. The eleven contributions tackle a particularly productive topic in the field today. In actual fact, this seminal research field currently echoes in a way the strong trend of scholarship about the influence of nationalism on the discipline, which since the end of the 1980s, has greatly contributed to the takeoff and overall recognition of the history of archaeology. The second part, entitled 'The Revolution of the Sixties in prehistory and protohistory', is the outcome of a partnership with the Commission 'Archaeological Methods and Theory'. The seven contributions strive to document and analyse a recent past, which is still often burdened with the weight of teleological and presentist appraisals. The inclusion in this volume of this session significantly dedicated to the genealogy of schools of thought and to the study of complex methodological and technical issues illustrates the editors' commitment to tackling historical issues as well, which are closely linked to current theoretical debates within archaeology. Such is also the aim of the third part, which addresses 'Lobbying for Archaeology'. As shown by the five contributions of this session, archaeology has not only been instrumentalised by political powers and ideological interests. It has also found fruitful alliances with economic agents or bodies, where mutual advantages were gained on practical, technical bases. This volume suggests a reflexive, critical approach to these various forms of lobbying should ensure a useful awareness regarding the structural problems archaeology faces today, regarding its funding methods.

Als umfassende Informationsquelle im Bereich fur Forschung, Lehre und Selbststudium liefert es nicht nur eine Analyse der Verwendung medialer Begrifflichkeiten, sondern bietet auch eine historische Sicht auf die Wechselwirkung zwischen Medien und ihrem Gebrauch. Vergleichende Beobachtungen unterschiedlicher Umgangsformen und Gebrauchsweisen mit der Medienwelt werden dadurch fassbar. Die Sammlung disziplinarer Grundbegriffe vereint etablierte Formen des Mediengebrauchs wie "schreiben" und "inszenieren" mit aktuellen Wortschopfungen wie "twittern" und "liken". Diese werden von ausgewiesenen Fachleuten besprochen und analysiert. Anhand einer Anekdote aus Politik, Literatur oder Alltag eroffnet sich dem Leser die Gebrauchsweise des Begriffs. Anschliessend wird die Etymologie erlautert und die uberlieferten Verwendungskontexte erganzt. Danach wird der Leser mit Schwankungen in der Semantik und im Sprachgebrauch vertraut gemacht. Die Erlauterung von Gegenbegrifflichkeiten und Einblicke in die Anwendbarkeits- und Forschungsperspektive sowie eine erganzende Literaturliste vervollstandigen die Artikel. So wird die Verwendungsgeschichte der Medien historisch transparent.  Free Download Bridget Drinka, "Historical Linguistics 2017 " English | ISBN: 9027204799 | 2020 | 507 pages | PDF | 4 MB The collected articles in this volume address an array of cutting-edge issues in the field of historical linguistics, including new theoretical approaches and innovative methodologies for studying language through a diachronic lens. The articles focus on the following themes: I. Case & Argument Structure, II. Alignment & Diathesis, III. Patterns, Paradigms, & Restructuring, IV. Grammaticalization & Construction Grammar, V. Corpus Linguistics & Morphosyntax, VI. Languages in Contact. Papers reflect a wide range of perspectives, and focus on issues and data from an array of languages and language families, from new analyses of case and argument structure in Ancient Greek to phonological evidence for language contact in Vietnamese, from patterns of convergence in Neo-Aramaic to the development of the ergative in Basque. The volume contributes substantially to the debate surrounding core issues of language change: the role of the individual speaker, the nature of paths of grammaticalization, the role of contact, the interface of diachrony and synchrony, and many other issues. It should be useful to any reader hoping to gain insight into the nature of language change.
 Free Download Ana Valdez, "Historical Interpretations of the "Fifth Empire": The Dynamics of Periodization from Daniel to António Vieira, S.J. " English | ISBN: 9004191925 | 2010 | 372 pages | PDF | 3 MB How may a 17th century theory about the Fifth Empire and the succession of empires be so similar to the 2nd century BCE theory introduced by the Book of Daniel? How was this possible in the works of António Vieira, S.J., (1608-1697), and particularly in his famous manuscript, the Clavis Prophetarum - De Regno Christi In Terris Consummato?
 Free Download Gordon Gillespie, "Historical Dictionary of the Northern Ireland Conflict (Historical Dictionaries of War, Revolution, and Civil Unrest)" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0810855836 | PDF | pages: 376 | 19.3 mb For nearly four decades the conflict in Ireland has embittered relations between the communities living there and spoiled relations between the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain. For three decades it escalated, punctuated by periodic bloody clashes followed by somewhat calmer periods of tension during which violence of all sorts―robberies, kidnappings, serious injuries and deaths―were all too common. During the past decade, fortunately, all sides have realized that armed solutions were unlikely to bring a solution to anyone's problems and that peace should be given a chance. Fortunately, with the establishment of a new Northern Ireland Executive, there is a general acceptance that the conflict is now part of the past.  Free Download P R Kumaraswamy, "Historical Dictionary of the Arab-Israeli Conflict (Historical Dictionaries of War, Revolution, and Civil Unrest)" English | 2015 | ISBN: 1442251697 | PDF | pages: 629 | 3.7 mb Competing Jewish and Arab national claims over the Holy Land form the core of the Arab-Israeli conflict, thereby transforming it into the most intensely-fought struggles in the history of humanity. The conflict evokes unparalleled passion and hostility not only among its immediate participants and neighbors but also in the wider international community. The involvement of three principal monotheistic religions makes the conflict a truly universal contestation. As a result, it often contributes to bouts of violence, turmoil and terrorism in the Middle East and beyond. |
