Delicioso
Spanish cuisine is a melting-pot of cultures, flavors, and ingredients: Greek and Roman; Jewish, Moorish, and Middle Eastern. It has been enriched by Spanish climate, geology, and spectacular topography, which have encouraged a variety of regional food traditions and “Cocinas,” such as Basque, Galician, Castilian, Andalusian, and Catalan. It has been shaped by the country’s complex history, as foreign occupations brought religious and cultural influences that determined what people ate and still eat. And it has continually evolved with the arrival of new ideas and foodstuffs from Italy, France, and the Americas, including cocoa, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, and chili peppers. Having beco...
西班牙美食史
tapas、海鮮燉飯、巧克力、葡萄酒、還有…… 馬德里、凡爾賽與那不勒斯，甚至遠及南美洲 西班牙料理的多樣與豐富，令人目不暇給 在西班牙這個多元國家裡，歷史隨處可見。西班牙的多樣化是歐洲其他地區都難以匹敵的，它的多樣化也是一切西班牙風貌的起源：土地與人民、音樂、傳統風俗、語言，當然也包括了飲食。從古代起，不同的外來文化就一直滋養著西班牙飲食。 在過去，西班牙吸引的是某些外國遊客與作家，他們尋找刺激有趣的故事，以便回家之後加以講述，這些講述可能並不公平，也不寬容，但總是引人入...
The Athenian Acropolis
This is a comprehensive study of the art, archaeology, myths, cults, and function of one of the most illustrious sites in the West. Providing an extensive treatment of the significance of the site during the 'Golden Age' of classical Greece, Jeffrey Hurwit discusses the development of the Acropolis throughout its long history, up to and including the recent discoveries of the Acropolis restoration project, which have prompted important re-evaluations of the site and its major buildings. Throughout, the author describes the role of the Acropolis in everyday life, always placing it within the context of Athenian cultural and intellectual history. Accompanied by 10 color plates, 172 halftones, and 70 line drawings, this is the most thorough book on the Acropolis to be published in English in nearly a century.
Hybrid Approaches to Machine Translation
This volume provides an overview of the field of Hybrid Machine Translation (MT) and presents some of the latest research conducted by linguists and practitioners from different multidisciplinary areas. Nowadays, most important developments in MT are achieved by combining data-driven and rule-based techniques. These combinations typically involve hybridization of different traditional paradigms, such as the introduction of linguistic knowledge into statistical approaches to MT, the incorporation of data-driven components into rule-based approaches, or statistical and rule-based pre- and post-processing for both types of MT architectures. The book is of interest primarily to MT specialists, but also – in the wider fields of Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning and Data Mining – to translators and managers of translation companies and departments who are interested in recent developments concerning automated translation tools.
Römische Rezeptionen der Kaiserzeit und Spätantike
Römische Literatur und Kultur lässt sich in besonderer Weise als geprägt von sich überlagernden Rezeptionen beschreiben: Griechisches ist nicht nur in den Anfängen ein Referenzpunkt, sondern bleibt es darüber hinaus. Zugleich gewinnen spätestens seit republikanischer Zeit römische Kulturleistungen den Status rezipierbarer Objekte und Phänomene, ein Prozess, der sich in Kaiserzeit und Spätantike besonders intensiv entfaltet. Die Stadt Rom selbst wird in ihrer programmatischen Topographie sogar zum zentralen Rezeptionspunkt für die Städte des Reiches. Der zentrale Wert des mos maiorum bedingt eine Selbstdefinition, die wesentlich auf eine Rezeption der eigenen Vergangenheit ausgeri...
Brill's Companion to Herodotus
Herodotus’ Histories can be read in many ways. Their literary qualities, never in dispute, can be more fully appreciated in the light of recent developments in the study of pragmatics, narratology, and orality. Their intellectual status has been radically reassessed: no longer regarded as naïve and ‘archaic’, the Histories are now seen as very much a product of the intellectual climate of their own day - not only subject to contemporary literary, religious, moral and social influences, but actively contributing to the great debates of their time. Their reliability as historical and ethnographic accounts, a matter of controversy even in antiquity, is being debated with renewed vigour and increasing sophistication. This Companion offers an up-to-date and in-depth overview of all these current approaches to Herodotus’ remarkable work.
A Commentary on Herodotus Books I-IV
Herodotus, one of the earliest and greatest of Western prose authors, set out in the late fifth century BC to describe the world as he knew it. This commentary by leading scholars, originally published in Italian, has been fully revised by the original authors and is now presented for English readers.
Greek Baths and Bathing Culture
This volume is the outcome of the first conference to take place on the topic of Greek baths and bathing culture, a central but hitherto neglected area in the field of ancient studies. Fifteen papers by an international group of archaeologists, art historians and ancient historians discuss Greek bathing culture from a socio-historical and cultural-anthropological perspective, resulting in a comprehensive reassessment that elucidates the sophistication of both the architecture and the culture of bathing throughout the Greek world. Individual papers examine bathing in the context of science, medicine and the cultural discourses coded in images on vases, while the majority focus on the archaeol...
