El gabinete de las maravillas y los misterios

Autor: Marcos Carrasco , Jesús Callejo

Número de Páginas: 315

Sabías que una muñeca de porcelana pudo marcar el destino trágico de toda una familia? ¿O que un demonio con pechos desfila en Semana Santa pero tiene prohibido entrar en la iglesia? ¿Y que una cruz milagrosa robada acabó vengándose de su ladrón? Prepárate para un viaje alucinante por una España insólita, donde lo extraño, lo mágico y lo absurdo se mezclan en un desfile de objetos que desafían toda lógica. Jesús Callejo y Marcos Carrasco te abren las puertas a un gabinete de curiosidades único, donde cada pieza encierra una historia o leyenda que te hará sonreír, asombrarte o incluso dudar de la realidad. Aquí descubrirás cruces que brillan más que tu porvenir, juguetes dignos de tus peores pesadillas y campanas que parecen sacadas de una película de aventuras. También pedruscos con más anécdotas que tu abuelo, gárgolas con alma de espía y reliquias capaces de conceder los deseos más insospechados. Entre sus páginas te esperan bombas napoleónicas, corazones disecados, cruces tatuadas por un rayo, máquinas que resucitan canarios, estatuas apabullantes, cuernos de unicornio, bezoares, cráneos que hacen de embudo, clavos mágicos… y hasta una Barbie ...

A Taste for Green

Autor: Carlos Rodríguez-rellán , Ben A. Nelson , Ramón Fábregas Valcarce

Número de Páginas: 193

Often along vast expanses, ancient societies traded certain commodities that were considered valuable either for functional or symbolic reasons – or, rather, a mixture of both factors. A Taste for Green addresses latest research into the acquisition of jade, turquoise or variscite, all of which share a characteristic greenish colour and an engaging appearance once they are polished in the shape of axes or assorted adornments. Papers explore how, in addition to constituting economic transactions, the transfess of these materials were also statements of social liaisons, personal capacities, and relation to places or to unseen forces. The volume centres on two study areas, Western Europe and México/Southwest US, which are far apart not just in geographical terms but also with regard to their chronology and socioeconomic features. While some North and Mesoamerican groups range from relatively complex farming societies up to state-like organisations during the 1st and 2nd millennia AD, the European counterparts are comparatively simpler polities spanning the 5th–3rd millennia BC. By contrasting the archaeological evidence from diverse areas we may gain insights into the role that...

The Megalithic Architectures of Europe

Autor: Luc Laporte , Chris Scarre

Número de Páginas: 257

Megalithic monuments are among the most striking remains of the Neolithic period of northern and western Europe and are scattered across landscapes from Pomerania to Portugal. Antiquarians and archaeologists early recognized the family resemblance of the different groups of tombs, attributing them to maritime peoples moving along the western seaways. More recent research sees them rather as the product of established early farming communities in their individual regions. Yet the diversity of the tombs, their chronologies and their varied cultural contexts complicates any straightforward understanding of their origins and distribution. Megalithic Architectures provides new insight by focusing on the construction and design of European megalithic tombs – on the tomb as an architectural project. It shows how much is to be learned from detailed attention to the stages and the techniques through which tombs were built, modified and enlarged, and often intentionally dismantled or decommissioned. The large slabs that were employed, often unshaped, may suggest an opportunistic approach by the Neolithic builders, but this was clearly far from the case. Each building project was unique,...

Space and Time in Mediterranean Prehistory

Autor: Stella Souvatzi , Athena Hadji

Número de Páginas: 320

Space and Time in Mediterranean Prehistory addresses these two concepts as interrelated, rather than as separate categories, and as a means for understanding past social relations at different scales. The need for this volume was realised through four main observations: the ever growing interest in space and spatiality across the social sciences; the comparative theoretical and methodological neglect of time and temporality; the lack in the existing literature of an explicit and balanced focus on both space and time; and the large amount of new information coming from prehistoric Mediterranean. It focuses on the active and interactive role of space and time in the production of any social environment, drawing equally on contemporary theory and on case-studies from Mediterranean prehistory. Space and Time in Mediterranean Prehistory seeks to break down the space-time continuum, often assumed rather than inferred, into space-time units and to uncover the varying and variable interrelations of space and time in prehistoric societies across the Mediterranean. The volume is a response to the dissatisfaction with traditional views of space and time in prehistory and revisits these...

Weapons and Tools in Rock Art

Autor: Ana M. S. Bettencourt , Manuel Santos-estévez , Hugo Aluai Sampaio

Número de Páginas: 205

Weapons and tools are frequently found depicted in rock art in many parts of the globe and different periods and in varying social contexts. This collection of papers by leading rock art specialists examines the subjective and metaphorical value of weapons and tools in art, the actions that created them, and their contexts. It also takes into account that such representations incorporate and transmit some kind of understanding about the world and the relationship between objects and humans. Contributors analyse objects and weapons as status symbols, as evidences of cultural contacts, as ideological devices, etc. Divided into regional sections which, for once, do not focus on Scandinavia, chapters deal with the representations of weapons and certain kinds of tools (such as axes and sickles) in different prehistoric, protohistoric and traditional community contexts all over the world. Attention focuses on rock art, but also looks at stelae and statue-menhirs, as well as other kinds of ‘container’ or vehicle for this kind of depiction. The major concern is to discuss the possible meanings of these embodied signs in different areas and periods, since meanings are permeable both to ...

Psychiatry and Neuroscience Update

Autor: Pascual Ángel Gargiulo , Humberto Luis Mesones Arroyo

Número de Páginas: 481

This broad and thought-provoking volume provides an overview of recent intellectual and scientific advances that bridge the gap between psychiatry and neuroscience, offering a wide range of penetrating insights in both disciplines. The third volume on the topic in the last several years from a varying panel of international experts, this title identifies the borders, trends and implications in both fields today and goes beyond that into related disciplines to seek out connections and influences.

El valle del hierro

Autor: Ane Odriozola

Número de Páginas: 469

Siglo XVI. Una nueva desaparición. Dos gremios enfrentados. Unas mujeres dispuestas a imponer la única ley posible, la ley del valle. Una lluviosa noche de 1577, el carbonero Domingo Harria sale de su caserío hacia la ferrería de Mirandaola, donde sus dueños, los Plazaola, lo están esperando. Asencia, su mujer, descubre a la mañana siguiente que Domingo no ha regresado a casa, y da la voz de alarma. No es la primera vez que alguien desaparece en el valle; tampoco será la última. Tras varios días sin noticias, Asencia acude a la ferrería en busca de alguna pista sobre el paradero de su marido, pero, aunque allí le aseguran que Domingo nunca acudió a la cita, ella está convencida de que los Plazaola mienten. Su gremio nunca ha sido de fiar. Años más tarde, cuando todo el valle parece haber olvidado a Domingo, salvo Asencia, aparece en su vida Jurdana, una joven de origen desconocido que no solo guarda un gran secreto, sino que huye de un pasado al que, tarde o temprano, deberá hacer frente. Solo espera no tener que hacerlo sola.

Reimagining Regional Analyses

Autor: Tina L. Thurston

Número de Páginas: 312

Reimagining Regional Analysis explores the interplay between different methodological and theoretical approaches to regional analysis in archaeology. The past decades have seen significant advances in methods and instrumental techniques, including geographic information systems, the new availability of aerial and satellite images, and greater emphasis on non-traditional data, such as pollen, soil chemistry and botanical remains. At the same time, there are new insights into human impacts on ancient environments and increased recognition of the importance of micro-scale changes in human society. These factors combine to compel a reimagining of regional archaeology. The authors in this volume focus on understanding individual trajectories and the historically contingent relationships between the social, the economic, the political and the sacred as reflected regionally. Among topics considered are the social construction of landscape; use of spatial patterning to interpret social variability; paleoenvironmental reconstruction and human impacts; and social memory and social practice. This book opens a discourse around the spatial patterning of the contingent, recursive relationships...

Made-to-Measure Future(s) for Democracy?

Autor: Julen Zabalo , Igor Filibi , Leire Escajedo San-epifanio

Número de Páginas: 362

This open access volume analyses the development of democracy at different levels of governance (from local to global). The Basque search for an institutional and democratic model that adapts to its social needs and solves its problems offers an interesting perspective for analyzing the way in which democracy is seeking new forms of materialization from the local to the global. The volume is divided into four parts. The chapters in Part I analyze the tensions between the neoliberal vision of democracy and the voices contesting it, with projections at different levels of government. The chapters in Part II focus on the emerging framework and scales of Western democracy. The chapters in Part III present new forms of citizen participation, paying special - though not exclusive - attention to new practical strategies for Basque society. The volume concludes with a block of chapters on the relevance of reviewing the methodological and epistemological frameworks from which knowledge about democracy and mechanisms of citizen participation is generated (Part IV). By delving deeper into the idea and practice of democratic governance, this volume will be of interest to researchers and...

Megalithic Tombs in Western Iberia

Autor: Chris Scarre , Luiz Oosterbeek

Número de Páginas: 257

Western Iberia has one of the richest inventories of Neolithic chambered tombs in Atlantic Europe, with particular concentrations in Galicia, northern Portugal and the Alentejo. Less well known is the major concentration of tombs along the Tagus valley, straddling the Portuguese-Spanish frontier. Within this cluster is the Anta da Lajinha, a small megalithic tomb in the hill-country north of the River Tagus. Badly damaged by forest fire and stone removal, it was the subject of joint British-Portuguese excavations in 2006-2008, accompanied by environmental investigations and OSL dating. This volume takes the recent excavations at Lajinha and the adjacent site of Cabeço dos Pendentes as the starting point for a broader consideration of the megalithic tombs of western Iberia. Key themes addressed are relevant to megalithic tombs more generally, including landscape, chronology, settlement and interregional relationships. Over what period of time were these tombs built and used? Do they form a horizon of intensive monument construction, or were the tombs the product of a persistent, long-lived tradition? How do they relate to the famous rock art of the Tagus valley, and to the cave...

Socialising Complexity

Autor: Sheila Kohring , Stephanie Wynne-jones

Número de Páginas: 249

Socialising Complexity introduces the concept of complexity as a tool, rather than a category, for understanding social formations. This new take on complexity moves beyond the traditional concern with what constitutes a complex society and focuses on the complexity inherent in various social forms through the structuring principles created within each society. The aims and themes of the book can thus be summarized as follows: to introduce the idea of complexity as a tool, which is pertinent to the understanding of all types of society, rather than an exclusionary type of society in its own right; to examine concepts that can enhance our interpretation of societal complexity, such as heterarchy, materialization and contextualization. These concepts are applied at different scales and in different ways, illustrating their utility in a variety of different cases; to reestablish social structure as a topic of study within archaeology, which can be profitably studied by proponents of both processual and post-processual methodologies.

Isotopic Proveniencing and Mobility

Autor: T. Douglas Price

Número de Páginas: 276

This volume provides a state-of-the-art presentation and discussion of procedures, especially what works and what doesn’t — on isotopic proveniencing, learned over the last 30 years. The volume focuses on application, not method, to emphasize to the reader the wide range of questions that can be addressed using isotopic proveniencing. Topics covered include samples, baselines, isoscapes, and place of origin. Isotopic proveniencing has become almost standard procedure in the analysis of archaeological burials as a means of distinguishing locals from foreigners. The combination of isotopic proveniencing and DNA has moved archaeological interest in migration and mobility to the fore, but there is very little synthetic work published for either technology.The field has evolved and new procedures and guidelines have emerged that have not been widely heard and this volume seeks to rectify this. The contributors have been selected from among the leaders in the field, those with active research and hands-on experience with the technology. This volume is of relevance to archaeologists.

Formas y escalas emergentes de las democracias contemporáneas

Autor: Igor Filibi López , Leire Escajedo San Epifanio , Julen Zabalo Bilbao

Número de Páginas: 386

"Desde hace años numerosas obras vienen advirtiendo que la democracia no vive uno de sus mejores momentos. Su debilitamiento parece global, y afecta no sólo a las democracias más recientes, sino también a los países con más tradición democrática, lo cual se percibe en multitud de aspectos. La presente obra, sin embargo, surge del firme convencimiento de que el futuro de la democracia está aún por trazar. Si se toma una perspectiva amplia para la reflexión, puede vislumbrarse que vivimos un tiempo en el que la democracia, con esfuerzo, está resurgiendo, emergiendo en diferentes formas y escalas, desde lo global hasta lo local, y todas ellas son analizadas tomando como referencia la riqueza de realidades de la sociedad vasca. Dicho análisis se articula en cuatro bloques, íntimamente relacionados entre sí. En esta obra tienen cabida tanto aproximaciones académicas sobre la materia, como experiencias específicas de participación impulsadas desde la sociedad vasca en torno a ámbitos y cuestiones tan diferenciados como la participación de la juventud y de las personas migrantes, el derecho a decidir o la dimensión comunitaria de los servicios sociales. La búsqueda...

The Prehistory of Iberia

Autor: María Cruz Berrocal , Leonardo García Sanjuán , Antonio Gilman

Número de Páginas: 441

This volume advances the archaeological study of social organisation in Prehistory, and more specifically the rise of social complexity in European Prehistory. Within the wider context of world Prehistory, in the last 30 years the subject of early social stratification and state formation has been a key subject on interest in Iberian Prehistory. This book illustrates the differing forms of resistances, the interplay between change and continuity, the multiple paths to and from social complexity, and the 'failures' of states to form in Prehistory. Focusing on Iberia, but with a permanent connection to the wider geographical framework, this book presents, for the first time, a chronologically comprehensive, up-to-date approach to the issue of state formation in prehistoric Europe.

EU Criminal Policy: Advances and Challenges

Autor: Gert Vermeulen , Wannes Bellaert

Número de Páginas: 189

Until the end of the 1990s, EU integration in the area of criminal law centred primarily around the regional deepening of traditional judicial cooperation in criminal matters and the development of law enforcement cooperation (including the setting up of Europol as a support agency). By the end of the 1990s respectively 2000s, the EU also gained (limited) supranational competence in the areas of substantive respectively procedural criminal law. Both judicial and law enforcement cooperation were furthered over the years via the principles of mutual recognition respectively availability, and through the setting up (and development) of Eurojust, the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor’s Office and the further development of Europol. After three decennia, the EU criminal law corpus is impressive – a core component of the EU’s ‘Area of Freedom, Security and Justice’, building on and adding to (both real and presumed) trust between the Member States. No time for stand-still, though. Since 2020, the European Commission has launched a tsunami of new legislative proposals, including in the sphere of EU criminal law, strongly framed in its new EU Security Union Strategy. ...

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and Gender

Autor: Jenna C. Ashton

Número de Páginas: 645

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and Gender offers an exceptional range of international contributions that interrogate and analyse the interactions within - and between - heritage and gender. Taking an intersectional and global approach, the Handbook opens up space for a more critical and situated consideration of how gender comes into contact with heritage as a concept and practice. The volume considers heritage in the broadest sense: as a concept, performance, and materialisation. The contributions also consider how heritage impacts identity, power, people, values, politics, and ethics as well as processes and sites across material culture, nature, and intangible practices. The volume and its contributions are inclusive of cisgender, trans, non-binary, agender, and intersex identities. Reflecting the multidisciplinary and transnational voices of its authors, the collection challenges readers to consider what a focused analysis of heritage and gender can offer heritage studies as an evolving discipline and field of study. The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and Gender will be of interest to academics and students working in Heritage Studies, Museum Studies, Art History,...
