Neighbourhoods and City Quarters in Antiquity
Studies on ancient urbanity either concerns individual buildings or the city as a whole. This volume, instead, addresses a meso-scale of urbanity: the socio-spatial organisation of ancient cities. Its temporal focus is on Late Republican and Imperial Italy, and more specifically the cities of Pompeii and Ostia. Referring to a praxeological and phenomenological perspective, it looks at neighbourhoods and city quarters as basic categories of design and experience. With the terms ‘neighbourhood and ‘city quarter’ the volume proposes two different methodological approaches: Neighbourhood here refers to the face-to-face relation between people living next to each other – thus the small-scale environment centred around a house and an individual. Neighbourhoods thus do not constitute a (collectively defined) urban territory with clear borders, but are rather constituted by individual experiences. In contrast, city quarters are understood as areas that share certain characteristics.

Cityscapes and Monuments of Western Asia Minor
Cityscapes consist of houses, streets, civic buildings, sanctuaries, tombs, monuments, and inscriptions created by multiple generations of citizens and foreigners with an interest in the city; they are interpreted and reinterpreted as expressions of past lives, changing relations of power, memories, and various identities. The present volume publishes 25 contributions written by scholars specializing in the history and archaeology of western Asia Minor. New and well-known material – literary, epigraphical, numismatic, and archaeological – is presented and analyzed through the twin lenses of memory and identity. The contributions cover more than 1000 years of cultural diversity during cha...

Hieronische Architektur auf Sizilien
Zur sogenannten hieronischen Architektur zählt die archäologische Forschung nicht nur Gebäude, die auf Initiative des syrakusanischen Königs Hieron II. (275-215 v. Chr.) errichtet wurden, sondern auch zahlreiche Innovationen und regionalspezifische Sonderformen, insbesondere im Bereich des Baudekors. Ihre Entwicklung und gezielte Verbreitung verortete man am Königshof in Syrakus und verknüpfte sie mit herrschaftsideologischen Botschaften. Das Vorkommen der hieronischen Architektur außerhalb Ostsiziliens ordnete man zeitlich nach der Eroberung von Syrakus ein und führte ihre Verbreitung u.a. auf wandernde syrakusanische Handwerker zurück. Anna-Lena Krüger versteht in ihrem Buch unte...
Elite Education and Internationalisation
This book offers both a theoretical and empirical examination of elite education, at all stages from the early years to university level. The book explores the various manifestations of internationalisation of education; the implications of these for national education systems; the formation and re-articulation of elite forms of education locally and globally; and how these facilitate the reproduction or disruption of processes of inequality. The collection critically considers these questions by drawing on contributions from around the world, and focuses on how internationalisation processes shape the various stages of the education system – from early years settings to higher education â...
