Personal Religion in Domestic Contexts During the New Kingdom
Personal religion in Domestic Contexts during the New Kingdom compiles artefacts and fixed emplacements in domestic settings during the New Kingdom in ancient Egypt that, from a comparative approach, are interpreted as examples of religious practices, contributing to the study of the so-called 'Archaeology of Religion'. By including the two main and best preserved sites for this research, namely Tell el-Amarna and Deir el-Medina, parallel cases for other sites with similar features are provided. At the same time, particular topics are explored throughout the book, including early evidence of personal religion as well as questions referring to the socioeconomic roles of the inhabitants of such main sites. Overall, there are three main themes: the definition of personal religion and religious domestic practices from a theoretical perspective; the description and analysis of the main archaeological and anthropological evidence; and, on that basis, the study of the impact of the Amarna period in the development of personal religion during the New Kingdom.

Respuestas al cambio en la Prehistoria y el Mundo Antiguo
Vivimos en una época de cambio continuo y acelerado. Las redes sociales y las innovaciones tecnológicas son algunos de los fenómenos que forman parte de nuestra cotidianeidad. Sin embargo, esta “aceleración de la historia” contrasta con el ritmo lento característico de las sociedades de la Prehistoria y el Mundo Antiguo. ¿Qué cambios podemos identificar durante este periodo temporal?; ¿cómo se manifestaron?; ¿qué consecuencias tuvieron para las diversas sociedades que los experimentaron?; ¿qué mecanismos de adaptación fueron necesarios para reaccionar a estas rupturas? En este volumen, quince jóvenes investigadores e investigadoras del panorama nacional pretenden dar respuesta a estas preguntas desde la vocación interdisciplinar propia del Departamento de Ciencias de la Antigüedad de la Universidad de Zaragoza.
Discurso, espacio y poder en las religions antiguas
14 papers reflect on how the wielders of power, be they religious, social or political, shape the discourses that justify their power within the framework of a society or a specific group, and how space participates in these discourses. Studies consider evidence from epigraphy, the archaeological record, and literary sources.

Lourdes
Lourdes (1894) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. Lourdes is the first installment in Zola’s celebrated Three Cities Trilogy. Published toward the end of Zola’s career, the trilogy is an ambitious, sweeping study of one man’s struggle with faith in political, religious, and social life. Following his protagonist Abbé Pierre Froment, Zola provides a striking portrait of the soul of modern man in crisis with itself and with an ever-changing world. Lourdes opens as Abbé Froment departs on a journey from Paris to the holy city of Lourdes. Accompanied by his childhood love, a woman who was paralyzed in an accident at the age of thirteen, Froment hopes to rediscover his faith and to ...

It initiates a wider discussion on the features and functions that define them, making it possible to identify and understand new sit...
Religious Practice at Deir El-Medina
With few exceptions, previous research on so-called personal religion has focused on hymns preserved on stelae from Deir el-Medina. Whereas their significance as testimony of personal choice and religious belief should not be excluded, the stelae must be understood in their communal cultic context. In order to grasp individual religious practices this book seeks to broaden the scope of analysis and include the archaeological remains from the houses at Deir el-Medina. Instead of establishing individual relationships between the human and divine, it appeared that 'personal' religion sought to preserve and maintain family continuity. The ancient Egyptian concept of the continuous cycle of creation was thus appropriated at home. Whereas the king guaranteed the order of the cosmos by giving offerings to the gods in the temples, corresponding activities were performed for the well-being of the family at home.
Ancient Epic
This book adopts a broad and multifaceted approach to that most preeminent of classical literature genres: the Epic. Set in the ancient world, from archaic Greece to imperial Rome, the scope of interest here extends, for comparative purposes, to Vedic and Sanskrit poetry, as well as the Medieval epic. This collection of papers by classicists from the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, embraces key themes in recent scholarship, such as the character of the hero, defined in terms of the conflict of power central to the epos, the metapoetic function of the bard as a literary reflection of epic style, and the manipulation of epic myth to fulfil new functions, such as retelling contempo...
