Thames & Hudson Ltd The Spirit of Indian Painting: Close Encounters with 101 Great Works 1100 -1900
In this magnificent, lavishly illustrated book, renowned art historian B. N. Goswamy opens readers’ eyes to the wonders of Indian painting, and shows them new ways of seeing art. An illuminating introductory essay, ‘A Layered World’, explains the themes and emotions that inspired famous painters, the values and influences that shaped their work, and the unique ways in which they depicted Time and Space. It describes, too, the different regional styles, the relationship between patrons and painters, the tools and techniques the painters used and the milieu in which they created their works. The second part of this book, ‘Close Encounters with 101 Works’, presents paintings carefully selected by Professor Goswamy, spanning nearly a thousand years and ranging from Jain manuscripts and Rajasthani, Mughal, Pahari and Deccani miniatures, to Company School paintings. His description and analysis of these works unlock the treasures that lie within them and show us how to ‘read’ each painting as he pours out its finest features, explains its visual vocabulary and symbolism, and recounts the story, legend or event that inspired it. Combining deep scholarship with great storytelling, this is a book of enduring value that will both educate and delight the reader.

Oxford University Press Inc Defensive Nationalism: Explaining the Rise of Populism and Fascism in the 21st Century
A stunningly novel account of why populism and fascism are on the rise in the early 21st century. Today we find in the most technologically advanced societies, wild conspiracy theories and a broad distrust of science and expertise have created deep political divisions that are splitting nations in two. Defensive Nationalism explains this paradox, using history as a guide. B. S. Rabinowitz finds that the turn-of-the 19th century was also a period of exceptional technological innovation that ended with toxic political upheavals. To investigate why, the author combines Karl Polanyi's concept of the "double movement" with Joseph Schumpeter's theory of innovation. Weaving together a fascinating narrative that spans two centuries, the book traces how the rapid transformation of transportation and communications during the Industrial Revolution and the Digital Revolution created economic interdependence and capital flows that induced radical economic, social, and political disruptions. In response, separate national-populist movements, stemming from particular national histories and struggles, arose concurrently to produce an era of "defensive nationalism." Distinguishing between creative, consolidating, and defensive nationalism, Rabinowitz offers a persuasively fresh way to study socio-political patterns across time and space.

HarperCollins Publishers Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
BKS Iyengar’s translation and commentary on these ancient yoga sutras has been described as the “bible” of yoga.This new edition of the classic text contains a new introduction by BKS Iyengar, as well as a foreword by Godfrey Devereux, author of Dynamic Yoga. Patanjali wrote this collection of yoga wisdom over 2,000 years ago. They are amongst the world’s most revered and ancient teachings and are the earliest, most holy yoga reference. The Sutras are short and to the point – each being only a line or two long. BKS Iyengar has translated each one, and provided his own insightful commentary and explanation for modern readers. The Sutras show the reader how we can transform ourselves through the practice of yoga, gradually developing the mind, body and emotions, so we can become spiritually evolved. The Sutras are also a wonderful introduction to the spiritual philosophy that is the foundation of yoga practise. The book is thoroughly cross-referenced, and indexed, resulting in an accessible and helpful book that is of immense value both to students of Indian philosophy and practitioners of yoga.

Peeters Publishers Coiffures et parures de tête en Égée à l'Âge du Bronze
Les coiffures et les parures de tête, en tant qu’éléments forts de communication, permettent d’aborder des champs d’investigation sur l’appartenance culturelle et identitaire de leurs porteurs. Cette recherche, à travers ce nouvel angle d’approche, vise à éclairer la place et le rôle de la chevelure et des coiffes dans les civilisations égéennes de l’ ge du Bronze. L’étude se fonde principalement sur deux types de sources complémentaires : les sources directes (bandeaux métalliques) et les sources indirectes (iconographie). La démarche conduit à proposer une nouvelle typologie morpho-stylistique des coiffures et parures de tête visibles dans l’iconographie. Ces diverses représentations montrent que certaines coiffures et parures de tête sont des marqueurs sexuels, chrono-culturels et sociaux. Grâce à un double examen visuel (observation macroscopique et microscopique) des bandeaux métalliques, on peut reconstituer leur chaîne opératoire. L’étude met en évidence des différences techniques (fabrication et décoration) et des traces d’usure intimement liées aux contextes chrono-culturels. La recherche tend également à montrer que le bandeau devait être porté en association avec un tissu. Par l’étude des traces immatérielles et grâce à la mobilisation de diverses sources (iconographiques, archéologiques, textuelles et comparatives), on a tenté d’appréhender les outils et la gestuelle associés au traitement de la chevelure, mais aussi les matériaux pouvant composer les parures de tête représentées en iconographie. Des reconstitutions du port du bandeau ont enfin montré le vaste champ de possibilités du port de cet artefact.

Peeters Publishers 'Ornamenta Sacra': Late Medieval and Early Modern Liturgical Objects in a European Context
This volume is dedicated to the study of late medieval and early modern liturgical objects, once known as ornamenta sacra. It encompasses a wide range of objects made of various materials and techniques which are not only essential for the rites, but also hold a central position in the religious and artistic production of the past. The contributions to this volume understand them at the heart of a system of complex relationships which make them contribute to their religious functions, but also to their aesthetic, symbolic and social ones: relationships with the men who commissioned, produced and manipulated them, but also with liturgical time and space; relationships too between these different objects, as also with the prescriptive and spiritual frameworks which dictate or accompany their uses. It is the life of these objects that is here recounted, objects invested with value at one and the same time religious, financial and aesthetic.

Peeters Publishers 'Locus amoenus' and the Sleeping Nymph: 'Ekphrasis', Silence, and 'Genius Loci'
In his late 15th century chronicle (ca 1477-1484), Michael Fabricius Ferrarinus (died between 1488-1493), prior of the Carmelite cloister in Reggio Emilia, introduced the rumour that an ancient fountain had been found super ripam Danuvii (on the banks of the Danube) with the sculpted figure of a sleeping nymph. According to Ferrarinus, the fountain bore a peculiar epigram: HVIVS NYMPHA LOCI, SACRI CVSTODIA FONTIS, DORMIO, DVM BLANDAE SENTIO MVRMVR AQVAE. PARCE MEVM, QVISQVIS TANGIS CAVA MARMORA, SOMNVM RVMPERE. SIVE BIBAS SIVE LAVERE TACE. Many scholars have discussed the impact of the rumour as creating a prototype for Renaissance sculptures of the sleeping nymph in Rome and for the development of the well-known genre of the sleeping Venus in painting. Building upon the previous studies, this essay contextualizes the phenomenon of the sleeping nymph and its textual and artistic Nachleben from the point of view of the locus amoenus as silence. This study combines iconological, aesthetical-philosophical and anthropological approaches, and contributes to a better understanding of sleep, voyeurism, water and silence within the context of the nymph's particular genius loci.

Peeters Publishers In Response to Echo: Beyond Mimesis or Dissolution as Scopic Regime (with Special Attention to Camouflage)
In his Metamorphoses, Ovid (43 BC - AD 17) tells the story of Echo and Narcissus. Echo's love for Narcissus ended in a cruel twist of fate. Already punished with an echo for a voice, the nymph suffered further as she petrified and her bones became stones. The study of art has long focused on the Narcissus-mirror syndrome as a paradigm for painting (Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472)). Echo had no place in this masculine scopic discipline. Recent approaches have rehabilitated Echo from a visual, cultural and gendered point of view. Echo cries; she cries for an alternative to the mirror paradigm and oculocentrism. She helps us break free from Narcissus in favour of visual modalities such as dissolution, camouflage and contamination, in short, disappearance as an alternative to the scopic regime. In this essay I treat the impact of Echo on art history through the lenses of: gender, speech and hearing; Echo as textilisation and sacrifice; Echo as chthonic art; and, finally, Echo and le désir mimétique. With this approach, I develop a new hermeneutic to reintegrate the sonoric senses, camouflage theory, gender epistemology, and the anthropological substrata of nature, love and death into our Western obsession for mimetic thinking.

Peeters Publishers Pneuma and the Visual Medium in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity: Essays on Wind, Ruach, Incarnation, Odour, Stains, Movement, Kairos, Web and Silence
The focus of these essays is the impact of wind, pneuma, and movement in medieval and early modern iconography on art historical hermeneutics. What can wind, pneuma, and movement tell us about the visual medium as such? Wind joins, flows, links, changes direction – in short, the wind is capricious. In its capriciousness wind embodies a particular hermeneutics of association, of freedom and the unexpected. Is an iconography of this caprice possible? How does one capture in pictorial form a natural phenomenon that envelops and penetrates us, even escapes from our own bodies? The dynamics of wind are after all only indirectly visible: swaying trees, waving grass, fluttering textile. How has wind impregnated the theory of the image? Is it a question of visual pneuma? And is wind in the arts a question of content, or rather a matter of formal affect?

Peeters Publishers Nymph. Motif, Phantom, Affect: A Contribution to the Study of Aby Warburg (1866-1929)
Behind them, close to the open door, there runs - no, that is not the word, there flies, or rather there hovers - the object of my dreams, which slowly assumes the proportion of a harming nightmare. A fantastic figure - should I call her a servant girl, or rather a classical nymph? (...) This lively, light-footed and rapid gait, this striding step, which contrasts with the aloof distance of all other figures, what is the meaning of it all? (...) My condition varied between a bad dream and a fairy tale (...). I lost my reason. It was always she who brought life and movement into an otherwise calm scene. Indeed, she appeared to be the embodiment of movement (...) but is it very unpleasant to be her lover? (...) Who is she? Where does she come from? Have I encountered her before? I mean one and a half millennia earlier? Does she come from a noble Greek lineage, and did her great-grandmother have an affair with people from Asia Minor, Egypt or Mesopotamia? pAby Warburg (1866-1929)

Peeters Publishers Jacques Rhetore: La Versification En Soureth (Arameen Contemporain)
La premiere partie de ce livre consiste en l'edition d'un manuscrit du missionnaire dominicain, le P. Jacques Rhetore, mort a Mossoul en 1921. Il s'agit d'un traite de poetique en soureth, c'est-a-dire en l'arameen vernaculaire encore parle de nos jours par les chretiens du nord de la Mesopotamie : ce n'est pas seulement un ouvrage d'erudition, mais aussi un manuel pratique devant assister les missionnaires ayant appris le soureth dans la composition d'hymnes et de cantiques utiles a leur ministere. Et en effet le P. Rhetore est lui-meme auteur d'une ouvre abondante de ce type, qu'il signait du pseudonyme de Jacques l'Etranger. La deuxieme partie contient les notes de l'editeur (Bruno Poizat), en particulier sur la provenance des exemples cites dans le texte, sur ce qu'on sait par ailleurs des auteurs mentionnes par le P. Rhetore, sur les editions savantes dont leurs compositions ont fait l'objet, ainsi que sur les diverses collections de manuscrits ou on peut trouver des poesies en soureth. L'edition de ce traite est un utile complement aux deux volumes de poesies en soureth publies dernierement par Alessandro Mengozzi dans le CSCO (589-590 et 627-628).

Peeters Publishers Between Rome and Jerusalem: Herod the Great and His Sons in Their Struggle for Recognition: A Chronological Investigation of the Period 40 BC - 39 AD, with a Time Setting of New Testament Events
The present study proposes a challenging new chronological framework for the Herodian age, a critical period in Jewish history. Not only do the rules of Herod the Great and his sons receive altered time settings, but the birth and death of Jesus are also placed several years later than is generally accepted. As a consequence of this the dates of Paul's apostolate are reexamined. Ostensibly narrow in scope, these modifications entail far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Syro-Palestinian region at the beginning of the present era. Interconnections between numerous events are established and tensions within and between the Herodian and Hasmonean dynasties are laid bare. It is shown that Roman impact on the East was substantial, with a strong Hellenistic influence exerted on local cultures. Several customs of the Jewish and early Christian communities, hitherto unknown, are also brought to light. Both in its details and in its overall sweep this important work sets up a stimulating reference point for future historical investigations of the Herodian and New Testament worlds.

Peeters Publishers "Le Rire Inextinguible Des Dieux"
Platon condamnait Homere pour avoir ose parler du "rire inextinguible des dieux". Au-dela de la reprobation morale de la raillerie, il devait bien avoir percu dans le rire une puissance d'exces capable d'ebranler la serenite du sage. Les modernes, philosophes (Descartes, Schopenhauer, Kant) et - davantage encore - psychanalystes (Freud, Lacan), ont traque dans l'esprit meme les sources de cette puissance transgressive. Mais le rire comme tel leur est reste une enigme. Pourtant, a suivre l'entrecroisement de leurs explications, il est possible d'approcher le mystere de cette voix "inarticulee et eclatante" qui s'exalte dans le rire et que Nietzsche, Baudelaire et, surtout, Bataille ont reconnu comme la part essentielle de ce que l'homme y joue de son etre meme.

Peeters Publishers Topicalisation Et Focalisation Dans Les Langues Africaines
La pratique des linguistes africanistes fait qu'ils sont necessairement aux problemes qui surgissent des rapports entre structure grammaticale, structure syntaxique, et organisation discursive. Les langues d'Afrique subsaharienne ont au moins en commun d'etre depourvues d'ecriture et de tradition grammaticale, et, une fois depasse le stade des questionnaires d'enquete lexicale, morphologique et syntaxique qui generalement se limitent a la phrase simple, une des missions des linguistes est de recueillir, transcrire et traduire des textes de tradition orale (contes, chroniques, recits historiques, epopees, etc.). La se posent concretement le probleme de la ponctuation. La ponctuation est en fait la manifestation des decisions du linguiste concernant, enter autres:- la delimitation des enonces;- l'apparition d'unites linguistiques qui, au-dela des hesitations, repetitions, ruptures de syntaxe, echappent a l'analyse en fonctions syntaxiques (predicat, sujet, complement);- l'articulations entre discours et syntaxe;- l'ordre des mots (linearisation) et la structure des enonces (hierarchie).Depuis cinq ans, le groupe " Hierarchie et linearisation" du Llacan (UMR Langage, Langues et Cultures d'Afrique Noire) etudie, dans le cadre de la theorie de l'enonciation, les phenomenes de focalisation et topicalisation dans les langues africaines, en mettant en avant le role essentiel des concepts d'assertion et de preconstruit. L'ouvrage commence par un article de synthese qui fait le point sur les concepts de la linguistique de l'enonciation en syntaxe, puis cerne la specificite du traitement de la focalisation et topicalisastion dans les langues africaines. Cette partie souligne, grace a la grande diversite, tant typologique que genetique, des langues representees dans notre groupe de travail, que les langues d'Afrique sont un lieu de grande variation, mais revelent egalement des regularites d'ordre areal, qui coupent au travers des familles linguistiques. Si la topicalisation revele une grande homogeneite, fondee sur la partie lineaire du langage, la focalisation, du fait de sa complexite fonctionnelle, est un lieu de grande variabilite, qui ne recoupe pas les familles genetiques.La suite de l'ouvrage presente une serie d'etudes de cas de langues africaines. Les langues representees sont parlees dans l'ensemble de l'Afrique subsaharienne : Guinee Bissau, Senegal, Burkina-Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Tchad, Cameroun, Republique Centrafricaine, Afrique de l'Est (Erythree, Ethiopie, Djiboutie). Elles representent diverses familles: langues atlantiques: bijogo, peul, wolof; couchitiques: afar; tchadiques: haoussa; gur: dagara et moore; Benoue-Congo: ikwere (langue igboide); Adamawa: tupuri; oubanguiennes: banda-linda, gbaya. L'interet de ces etudes tient au fait que leurs auteurs font appel a une profonde connaissance de premiere main, resultat d'une longue familiarite avec les langues qu'ils decrivent. Ils s'appuient dans ces presentations sur l'analyse minitieuse de corpus de langue orale. Toutes ont en commun, au-dela de la prise en compte des phenomenes de structure generalement privilegies dans les etudes typologiques, de mettre en avant une etude des valeurs d'emploi, contextualisees, des phenomenes de la topicalisation et de la focalisation.
