This book outlines the evolution of Greek heroic epic from funeral laments and creates a model for epic evolution using Greek, other Indo-European, and non-Indo-European materials. Singing the Dead conceives the epic as a post-Mycenean phenomenon associated with the first migrations away from the ancestors' tombs to the Ionian coast. Physical separation from the tombs impelled the development of narration concerning the ancestors and the rite at the tomb was substituted by stories that eventually became epic.

Papers presented in the 19th International Colloquium of History of Art held in the city of Puebla in 2005. This was a unique multidisciplinary event around the general thematic of "gender and sex" that represented a new social attitude with notable repercussions in the generation and analysis of artistic works. The presentations were divided in 3 parts: 1) The critical representations of norms, hegemonic practices, marginal fields and deviations are becoming a more frequent (and less exceptional) aspect in art history, hence forcing a reformulation of art studies, 2) the use of anatomical representations as media, format or support to represent various meanings: political, of gender, religion, moral and family history; and 3) the analytical, curatorial and historiography postmodernism theories that study transexuality, feminism, patriarchal society and discrimination.

This is an analysis of the diverse facets of Alexander the Great’s image from the Renaissance era through the Baroque into the nineteenth century. Perceived as the first sovereign ruler of the world, for centuries Alexander became an exemplar for the most ambitious kings and emperors. This cultural phenomenon flourished above all in the Renaissance while extending into the nineteenth century. Early modern monarchs’ identification with Alexander associated them with ideas of kingly wisdom. Yet this admiration waned on occasions. Napoleon was Alexander of Macedonia’s most ardent critic. During the nineteenth century, the Macedonian hero was viewed as an individual who won control of the Achaemenid empire, but also underwent a progressive moral decline that converted him into a tyrant. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history and iconography.

En su novela El cielo protector, Paul Bowles distingue entre el turista y el viajero. Mientras el turista siempre sabe cuándo y cómo volverá a su hogar, el viajero se lanza a la aventura sin conocer exactamente ni su ruta ni siquiera si algún día regresará a su casa. En el mundo antiguo, el viaje tenía siempre un punto de descubrimiento, un componente intrínseco de aventura motivada por las condiciones de los desplazamientos y, muchas veces, por el desconocimiento de los lugares a los que el viajero pretendía arribar. El viaje en la Antigüedad fue el tema del que se ocupó el V Coloquio Internacional de Historia Antigua Universidad de Zaragoza, que se celebró entre los días 4 y 6 de junio de 2009 en la Biblioteca de Humanidades María Moliner de la Universidad de Zaragoza bajo el título Viajeros, peregrinos y aventureros en el mundo antiguo. En él participaron estudiosos procedentes de diversas universidades y centros de investigación españoles y extranjeros: Münster (Alemania), Ohio (Estados Unidos), Foggia (Italia), CSIC de Roma, Málaga, Vitoria, Salamanca, Madrid, Alcalá de Henares, Barcelona y Zaragoza. Desde diversas perspectivas todos ellos abordaron el tema del viaje y el viajero en la Antigüedad, y este volumen recoge las comunicaciones presentadas durante el coloquio, celebrado como viene siendo habitual con carácter bienal.

This collection of essays by major scholars in the field explores how the rich intersections between Italy and Spain during the early modern period resulted in a confluence of cultural ideals. Various means of exchange and convergence are explored through two main catalysts: humans—their trips or resettlements—and objects—such as books, paintings, sculptures, and prints. The visual and textual evidence of the transmission of ideas, iconographies and styles are examined, such as triumphal ephemera, treatises on painting, the social status of the artist, collections and their display, church decoration, and funerary monuments, providing a more nuanced understanding of the exchanges of styles, forms and ideals across southern Europe.

Cuando Silvestre, un muchacho de la tribú de los sirús, relata su sueño-visión al jefe de la aldea, no comprende aún la trascendencia que tal gesto tendrá. Sin pretenderlo, se verá empujado a iniciar una aventura llena de peligros, misterio y traiciones junto a su gran amigo y compañero Uran, un urgmel de las llanuras. Durante su viaje se verán obligados a establecer una tregua con los verguetas, sus eternos enemigos, pues ellos son la única estirpe de Dhulma, el Mundo Vegetal, que conoce el paso a otros mundos. Poco a poco el sirú aprenderá que tal y como dicen las historias, su mundo, Dhulma, no es el único que existe, sino que forma parte de un conglomerado de otros planetas conocidos como los siete mundos de Suria. Comprenderá también la vital importancia de los artefactos de poder, los yibais, y de como su sueño-visión, de hacerse realidad, podría trastornar el equilibrio de los mundos.

How did early modern societies think about disasters, such as earthquakes or floods? How did they represent disaster, and how did they intervene to mitigate its destructive effects? This collection showcases the breadth of new work on the period ca. 1300-1750. Covering topics that range from new thinking about risk and securitisation to the protection of dikes from shipworm, and with a geography that extends from Europe to Spanish America, the volume places early modern disaster studies squarely at the intersection of intellectual, cultural and socio-economic history. This period witnessed fresh speculation on nature, the diffusion of disaster narratives and imagery and unprecedented attempts to control the physical world. The book will be essential to specialists and students of environmental history and disaster, as well as general readers who seek to discover how pre-industrial societies addressed some of the same foundational issues we grapple with today.
