Ravenna
In 402 AD, after invading tribes broke through the Alpine frontiers of Italy and threatened the imperial government in Milan, the young Emperor Honorius made the momentous decision to move his capital to a small, easy defendable city in the Po estuary: Ravenna. From then until 751 AD, Ravenna was first the capital of the Western Roman Empire, then that of the immense kingdom of Theoderic the Goth, and finally the centre of Byzantine power in Italy. In this engrossing account Judith Herrin explains how scholars, lawyers, doctors, craftsmen, cosmologists and religious luminaries were drawn to Ravenna where they created a cultural and political capital that dominated northern Italy and the Adri...
Asianisms
At the core of this book is a seemingly simple question: What is Asia? In search of common historical roots, traditions and visions of political-cultural integration, first Japanese, then Chinese, Korean and Indian intellectuals, politicians and writers understood Asianisms as an umbrella for all conceptions, imaginations and processes which emphasized commonalities or common interests among different Asian regions and nations.

Ausgräberinnen, Forscherinnen, Pionierinnen
Die ersten Archäologinnen waren im doppelten Sinne Pionierinnen. Sie leisteten wichtige Anteile an der Entwicklung ihrer akademischen Fächer und übernahmen zudem auf Ausgrabungen, in Museen und Universitäten für Frauen in der damaligen Zeit ganz ungewöhnliche Aufgaben. Im zehnten Band der Reihe Frauen - Forschung - Archäologie wird plastisch dargestellt, was es für Frauen ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts hieß, Archäologin zu sein. Die Haltungen von Familien und sozialem Umfeld zu den grabenden und forschenden Frauen werden ebenso geschildert wie Förderung und Behinderung durch eine männlich geprägte Fachwelt, die Schwierigkeiten, die es den Frauen bereitete, Archäologie und Famili...
