Dalla fine degli anni sessanta ai primi anni ottanta il paese è attraversato da sommovimenti profondi che coinvolgono le economie e le culture, le produzioni e i consumi, i soggetti sociali e gli immaginari collettivi. Il sopraggiungere del miracolo economico e delle speranze riformatrici del centro-sinistra e il rifluire successivo di entrambi; l’esplosione del movimento studentesco e dell’«autunno caldo», gli anni cupi della «strategia della tensione» e la «stagione del cambiamento» che sembra annunciarsi con il voto del 1974 sul divorzio e che è destinata a declinare all’indomani stesso del suo apparente trionfo, dopo le elezioni del 1975-76. Infine, il delinearsi della «crisi della Repubblica», in anni che vedono un’offensiva terroristica senza paragoni in Europa e l’evolversi di processi profondi di degenerazione delle istituzioni e della politica. Una ricostruzione fatta attraverso le fonti più diverse: i quotidiani e i periodici così come i rapporti di prefetti, polizia e carabinieri conservati nell’Archivio centrale dello Stato; i dibattiti che attraversano partiti e movimenti ma anche i film, le canzoni, la letteratura, i programmi televisivi.
Presents proceedings from the 20th meeting of the prestigious international student Egyptology conference, held at the University of Alcalá, 2019. 15 papers address a wide range of topics including all periods of ancient Egyptian History and different aspects of its material culture, archaeology, history, society, religion and language.
In the past, most studies on Pre-Roman societies in Italy (1st millennium BCE) focused on the elites, their representation and cultural contacts. The aim of this volume is to look at dependent and marginalized social groups, which are less visible and often even difficult to define (slaves, servants, freedmen, captives, 'foreigners', athletes, women, children etc.). The methodological challenges connected to the study of such heterogeneous and scattered sources are addressed. Is the evidence representative enough for defining different forms of dependencies? Can we rely on written and pictorial sources or do they only reflect Greek and Roman views and iconographic conventions? Which social groups can't be traced in the literary and archaeological record? For the investigation of this topic, we combined historical and epigraphical studies (Greek and Roman literary sources, Etruscan inscriptions) with material culture studies (images, sanctuaries, necropoleis) including anthropological and bioarchaeological methods. These new insights open a new chapter in the study of dependency and social inequality in the societies of Pre-Roman Italy.
In this expansive new biography of George Reisner, Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian examines the life and work of America's greatest archaeologist. Manuelian presents Reisner's undeniable impact and considers his life within the context of Western colonialism, racism, and nationalism. Pyramids with hidden burial chambers. Colossal royal statues and minuscule gold jewelry. Decorated tomb chapels, temples, settlements, fortresses, ceramics, furniture, stone vessels, and hieroglyphic inscriptions everywhere. This is the legacy of forty-three years of breathtakingly successful excavations at twenty-three different archaeological sites in Egypt and Sudan (ancient Nubia). George Reisner (1867-1942...
