Relating to Landed Property
Wie wird Raum durch historische und religiöse Ansprüche auf Grundbesitz konzipiert und konstituiert? Wie wird Enteignung in sich verändernden Eigentumsordnungen umgesetzt und theoretisiert? Die Beiträge dieses Bandes befassen sich mit postkolonialen Kritiken des Grundbesitzes und bieten eine dringend benötigte Kontextualisierung der Art und Weise, wie die Geschichte des göttlichen Besitzes, des Imperiums, des Siedlerkolonialismus, der Sklaverei und der Enteignung indigener Völker die heutige Praxis des Grundbesitzes beeinflusst. Das Buch vereint dafür Perspektiven aus den Bereichen Religionswissenschaft, Geschichte, Philosophie, Rechtsgeschichte, Ökonomie und Soziologie und leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verknüpfung von Theorie und Praxis in der Kritik zeitgenössischer Eigentumsordnungen in Europa und Nordamerika; es liefert zudem methodische Anregungen, um theoretische Diskussionen auf ein nuanciertes Verständnis der Vergangenheit zu gründen. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/
"Väterliche Gesetze" und das Gesetz des Mose
In diesem Werk behandelt Reinhard Gregor Kratz die Rolle der Tora im sogenannten "makkabaischen" Aufstand gegen den seleukidischen Konig Antiochos IV. im 2. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Zu diesem bedeutenden Ereignis der judaischen Geschichte hat die althistorische Forschung in jungerer Zeit wegweisende Arbeiten vorgelegt, die den in judischen Quellen erhobenen, zentralen Vorwurf des Religionsverbots und der Religionsverfolgung relativieren. Offen bleibt die Frage der Tora, die in judischen Quellen als entscheidendes Movens des Geschehens erscheint, und wie sich das Gesetz des Mose zu den "vaterlichen Gesetzen" verhalt, die in seleukidischen und judischen Quellen erwahnt werden. Diese Lucke versucht Reinhard Gregor Kratz zu fullen und wirft damit ein neues Licht auf die Hintergrunde und Motive des makkabaischen Aufstandes und zugleich auf das Thema der Begegnung zwischen Judentum und Hellenismus.

Divine Names on the Spot
'Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.'
Scheherazade Goes West
Throughout my childhood, my grandmother Yasmina, who was illiterate and grew up in a harem, repeated that to travel is the best way to learn and to empower yourself. "When a woman decides to use her wings, she takes big risks," she would tell me, but she was convinced that if you didn't use them, it hurt.... So recalls Fatema Mernissi at the outset of her mesmerizing new book. Of all the lessons she learned from her grandmother -- whose home was, after all, a type of prison -- the most central was that the opportunity to cross boundaries was a sacred privilege. Indeed, in journeys both physical and mental, Mernissi has spent virtually all of her life traveling -- determined to "use her wings...
