With a perspective gained over a vibrant career, we see here the essential interconnectedness of the people of central Italy with wider communities of the ancient Mediterranean and European worlds.” —Anthony Tuck, University of Massachusetts Amherst\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eImages and Translations\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force that compellingly presents the Etruscans as an influential cultural force in the Mediterranean and in Northern Europe. Bonfante has long advocated the view that the Etruscans were not a passive society that simply absorbed Greek and other influences.  In this book she effectively demonstrates that the visual record reveals far more than most earlier scholars have recognized.  She proceeds through careful analysis of the artistic evidence, inscriptions, Greek and Roman literary sources, and geographic factors, to show that the Etruscans were in constant contact with other cultures, and that their artworks and customs transformed ‘imported’ visual images to suit their cultural needs.” —Elaine Gazda, University of Michigan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditor’s Note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1 An Alphabet of Images: Greek and Etruscan Myth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2 Families and Gender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtruscan Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMen and Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Etruscan Upper Class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Use of Myths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtruscan Mirrors: Reflections of Marriage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtruscan Couples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGestures of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMothers, Myth, and Metaphor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToddlers and Children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWomen’s Literacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3 What Happened to the Kouros?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Celtic World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Greek Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtruscan Transformations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtruscan Ancestors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eKouros\u003c\/i\u003e Goes North\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeltic Burials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4 Amber, Runes, and Situla Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Chiusi Connection and the Gauls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSitula Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSitula Motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5 The Final Journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTombs and Houses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncestors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriting and the Dead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngels and Demons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErotic Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill Death Do Us Part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoundaries, Human and Divine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJourney to the Afterworld\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlood for the Dead: Human Sacrifice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterlife and the Underworld\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6 Echoes from Classical Antiquity, Some of Them Etruscan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtruscans in Rome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristian Symbols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRomanesque Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Renaissance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassical Nudity and Its Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusions and Controversies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustration Sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LUP - University of Michigan Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037188981079,"sku":"9780472131976","price":52.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/images-and-translations-the-etruscans-abroad-9780472131976","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
