sehepunkte: Rezensionsjournal für die Geschichtswissenschaften
ISBN: 1618-6168
http://www.sehepunkte.de/images/sehepunkte_logo.gif
Der Name sehepunkte für dieses Rezensionsjournal ist Programm: Als der Theologe und Historiker Johann Martin Chladenius (1710 - 1759) den - ursprünglich aus der Optik stammenden - Begriff in seiner 1742 erschienenen Einleitung zur richtigen Auslegung vernünftiger Reden und Schriften auf die Geschichtsschreibung übertrug, vollzog er bekanntlich einen bemerkenswerten Schritt. Denn damit war der "perspektivische Blick des Historikers" umrissen, hatte sich die Einsicht in den subjektiven Charakter aller Geschichtsschreibung Bahn gebrochen: Eine objektive Wahrheit, so Chladenius, gibt es nicht. In jeder Wahrnehmung und Deutung historischer Ereignisse kommt vielmehr immer auch und vor allem der individuelle Standort des Betrachters zum Ausdruck, mithin dessen spezifischer "Sehepunckt": "Ebenso ist es mit allen Geschichten beschaffen; eine Rebellion wird anders von einem getreuen Untertanen, anders von einem Rebellen, anders von einem Ausländer, anders von einem Hofmann, anders von einem Bürger oder Bauern angesehen."...

Oriental Institute Seminars 8

The eighth in the Oriental Institute Seminar Series, this volume contains papers that emerged from the seminar Iconoclasm and Text Destruction in the Ancient Near East and Beyond, held at the Oriental Institute April 8-9, 2011. The purpose of the conference was to analyze the cases of and reasons for mutilation of texts and images in Near Eastern antiquity. Destruction of images and texts has a universal character; it is inherent in various societies and periods of human history. Together with the mutilation of human beings, it was a widespread and highly significant phenomenon in the ancient Near East. However, the goals meant to be realized by this process differed from those aimed at in other cultures. For example, iconoclasm of the French and Russian revolutions, as well as the Post-Soviet iconoclasm, did not have any religious purposes. Moreover, modern comprehension of iconoclasm is strongly influenced by its conception during the Reformation.
This volume explores iconoclasm and text destruction in ancient Near Eastern antiquity through examination of the anthropological, cultural, historical, and political aspects of these practices. Broad interdisciplinary comparison with similar phenomena in the other cultures and periods contribute to better understanding them.

          IAOS Bulletin: International Association for Obsidian Studies
          http://members.peak.org/~obsidian/iaos_header.gif
          The International Association for Obsidian Studies (IAOS) was formed in 1989 to provide a forum for obsidian researchers throughout the world. Major interest areas of the IAOS include obsidian hydration dating, obsidian characterization ("sourcing"), geoarchaeological obsidian studies, obsidian and lithic technology, and the prehistoric procurement and utilization of obsidian. In addition to disseminating information about advances in obsidian research to archaeologists and other interested parties, the IAOS was also established to:
          • Develop standards for analytical procedures to ensure interlaboratory comparability.
          • Develop standards for recording and reporting obsidian hydration and characterization results.
          • Provide technical support in the form of training and workshops for those wanting to develop expertise in the field.
          • Provide a central source of information about the analytical capabilities of various laboratories and institutions and about recent advances in obsidian studies.

          LibrISTA :Bibliothèque numérique de L'Institut des Sciences et Techniques de l'Antiquité
          L'Institut des Sciences et Techniques de l'Antiquité met gratuitement à disposition du public les ouvrages parus aux Annales Littéraires de l'Université de Besançon puis aux PUFC. Ces publications au sein de sa collection ont fait l'objet d'expertises scientifiques lors de leur parution sous forme papier. Les textes présentés ici n'ont pas fait l'objet de corrections, ni mises à jour. La totalité des documents proposés ont été soumis à une reconnaissance automatique de caractères (OCR) qui les rend interrogeables en plein texte.

            Ce travail de mise en ligne a été développé par François Grosdemouge (doctorant allocataire, puis ingénieur d'étude contractuel), avec la collaboration de Patrick Zailachi (stagiaire du programme Eurodyssée) et avec l'aide du service des publications de l'ISTA et de Valérie Von Allmen (doctorante allocataire). Le nombre de titre disponible augmentera progressivement en fonction de l'avancée de la numérisation et du traitement des documents.

             Les documents sont téléchargeables dans leur intégralité par chapitres, sous-parties ou en une seule pièce. Attention, dans ce dernier cas le poids peut gêner le téléchargement.

             Nous avons tenté de contacter l'ensemble des auteurs, co-auteurs et contributeurs, de la collection ISTA aux ALUB et aux Presses Universitaires de Franche-Comté. Il nous a parfois été impossible de joindre les auteurs ou leurs ayants-droits. Nous avons cependant choisi de mettre en ligne certains de ces titres, mais si cela contrevenait aux intentions des ayant-droits, nous retirerons ces titres à leur simple demande auprès de nos services (contact : francois.grosdemouge@univ-fcomte.fr).
          More than seventy-five volumes are available online in open access formats:

          Tools of the Trade: Bibliographies for Roman Studies

          Tools of the Trade was conceived by Lowell Edmunds as a bibliographic guide for graduate students and others interested in furthering their knowledge of the Roman world. When the expansion of scholarly resources and the growing capabilities of web-based publication made a second edition desirable, Professor Edmunds decided to divide the project into thirteen discrete bibliographies, each with its own editor/compiler.
          At this point, the project was passed on to Sander M. Goldberg of UCLA, who has assumed responsibility for editing the final documents and posting them on this site. The content and form of each bibliography has been determined by the subject editor, who is identified in the heading for each document. Specific suggestions, questions, and comments about its content should be addressed to that individual. General questions and comments should be addressed to Professor Goldberg.
          When complete, the project will cover the following topics:
          Concordances and Indices Verborum
          Encyclopedias
          Fragmentary Authors
          History of Roman Literature
          Inscriptions
          Latin Linguistics and Etymology
          Latin Meter
          Modern Grammars and Ancient Grammarians
          Roman Religion
          Roman Social Life and Customs
          Roman Topography
          Specialized Vocabularies
          Textual Criticism and Textual Transmission
          We hope this material proves useful and welcome your comments and suggestions.

          Mantha Zarmakoupi

          Abstract: This study examines recent archaeological evidence for the Quartier du Stade on Delos, which was newly formed after 167 CE. Analysis of the changes in the houses and the overall urban development of this neighborhood contribute to revealing the forces that shaped the city of Delos in this period, such as economy, politics, and ideology.

            Network for the Study of Esotericism in Antiquity (NSEA)
            ancientesotericism.org.jpg   

            Ancient Esotericism.org is the website for the Network for the Study of Ancient Esotericism (NSEA), a thematic network associated with the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE). NSEA specializes in the study of esoteric phenomena of the ancient period and provides contact for specialists of ancient esoteric thought, history, and literature.
            This website is intended as a resource for scholars and students. While the ancient sources (Gnostic, theurgic, Neoplatonic, Hermetic, etc.) of Western Esotericism possess enormous importance for the development of esoteric currents from the fourteenth century onwards, there remains only a minimum of interaction between the antiquity experts and their (proto)-modern colleagues. The Network therefore is intended to 1) introduce scholarship on ancient esotericism to students of Western Esotericism, 2) serve as a forum in which to exchange ideas, notes and references, etc. outside of other professional bodies which are not concerned with esotericism per se, 3) to coordinate study and workshops with other working groups on the subject, such as the Society of Biblical Literature’s Section on Esotericism and Mysticism in Antiquity, and 4) (and most importantly) to provide a junction of the many resources online that can serve as aids in the study of this fascinating and difficult material (dictionaries, textual corpora, blogs, etc.).

            Founding Members of the NSEA include:
            Brian Alt (University of Indiana)
            Dylan M. Burns (University of Copenhagen)
            April DeConick (Rice University)

            The Royal Archaeological Institute (RAI) is a leading national archaeology society and since 1844 we have annually published the Archaeological Journal. The journal contains papers on the Institute's interests, which span all aspects of the archaeological, architectural and landscape history of the British Isles. It presents the results of archaeological and architectural survey and fieldwork on sites and monuments of all periods as well as syntheses and overviews of such work in the British Isles.

            For several years, the RAI has been running a project to digitally scan and make available back issues of the Archaeological Journal. Volumes 1-120, the first 120 years of our journal, are now available to view.

            The next stage of our project is to scan journals 121-160 and make these available. Our most recent journals (since 2004) are available through our website for subscribing members and libraries, and on a pay-per-view basis on ArchLib.

            PSIonline: Papiri della Società Italiana
            Il progetto PSI on-line è nato grazie ad accordi di cooperazione stipulati tra diverse istituzioni nazionali ed internazionali: l’Università di Cassino, l’Accademia Fiorentina di Papirologia, la Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, l’Istituto Papirologico Vitelli, il Museo Archeologico del Cairo, la Biblioteca di Alessandria. Attualmente, la sua realizzazione è curata dal Centro Editoriale e dal Laboratorio di Ricerche Storiche e Archeologiche dell’Antichità (Dipartimento di Scienze Umanistiche) dell’Università di Cassino. 
            In una prima fase, saranno messe on-line schede descrittive e riproduzioni di tutti i papiri, le pergamene e gli ostraka appartenenti alla serie PSI, attualmente custoditi presso una pluralità di istituzioni di conservazione, tra cui spiccano in particolare la Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, l’Istituto Papirologico Vitelli e il Museo Archeologico del Cairo. Successivamente, saranno messe on-line anche le schede e le immagini relative alle collezioni dei Papiri Fiorentini (P. Flor.) e dei Papiri Laurenziani (P. Laur.), entrambe custodite presso la Biblioteca Laurenziana. 
            Il copyright delle immagini dei reperti appartiene alle istituzioni responsabili della loro tutela e ad esse va indirizzata ogni autorizzazione per la loro riproduzione (vedi sezione _rights and permissions). 
            Per quanto riguarda le schede, realizzate interamente da Diletta Minutoli, le informazioni fornite sono aggiornate al novembre 2010. Alcuni reperti sono stati volutamente esclusi dai curatori, perché al momento oggetto di studi che potrebbero portare a una loro sostanziale revisione. La bibliografia relativa a ciascun reperto, per quanto ampia e accuratamente controllata, non ha alcuna pretesa di esaustività e, specialmente nel caso di testi letterati, tende a privilegiare la segnalazione di studi di natura propriamente papirologica o paleografica.
