Book Description
Binnenvaart over de Zuiderzee is zeer belangrijk geweest voor de spectaculaire groei van de vroegmoderne Nederlandse economie (1550-1700). Dat concludeert promovendus Wouter Waldus. Hij heeft voor zijn promotie de vloot van de turfschipperij op de Zuiderzee goed onderbouwd berekend en vergeleken met andere sectoren. Daarnaast heeft hij de Zuiderzee als maritiem transportlandschap volledig in kaart gebracht: vaarroutes, markeringen, redes, etc.. Zo kon hij het unieke karakter van het binnenvaartnetwerk duidelijk maken. Waldus vond tijdens zijn onderzoek ook aanwijzingen voor gezinsbewoning aan boord van binnenschepen rond 1650, veel vroeger dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen.

Waldus vond tijdens zijn onderzoek ook aanwijzingen voor gezinsbewoning aan boord van binnenschepen rond 1650, veel vroeger dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen. De Zuiderzee is vanaf de late middeleeuwen tot de afsluiting in 1932 het dagelijkse vaargebied geweest van vele binnenschippers. Zij spelen een bescheiden rol binnen de maritieme geschiedschrijving van Nederland, omdat hun activiteiten nauwelijks sporen hebben achtergelaten in de archieven. Toch zijn er bronnen om deze tak van de scheepvaart te onderzoeken: de meer dan 450 scheepswrakken die vanaf de eerste inpolderingen van de Zuiderzee tot en met recente duikoperaties zijn aangetroffen. Wouter Waldus gaat in zijn proefschrift dieper in op de betekenis van deze scheepsarcheologische vindplaatsen aan de hand van een casestudy: de turfvaart tussen 1550 en 1700. Hij heeft onderzocht in hoeverre de spectaculaire sociaal-economische ontwikkeling die Holland in deze periode doormaakte, verband houdt met de Zuiderzee als centrum van een omvangrijk maritiem transportlandschap. Hij belicht het vervoer van turf over deze binnenzee vanuit verschillende invalshoeken: van macro-economische analyses tot een reconstructie van het dagelijkse leven van de turfschippers. De historische maritieme archeologie van de turfvaart biedt zowel een vernieuwende kijk op het maritieme verleden van Nederland als een kader voor het interpreteren van scheepswrakken. Het beeld dat uit het onderzoek van Waldus ontstaat, zal bijdragen aan de herwaardering van het unieke erfgoed dat nog steeds voor een belangrijk deel verborgen ligt in de bodem van de voormalige Zuiderzee.

Mesolithic Europe
Author: Geoff Bailey
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521147972
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book focuses on the archaeology of the hunter-gatherer societies that inhabited Europe in the millennia between the Last Ice Age and the spread of agriculture, between 10,000 and 5,000 years ago. Traditionally viewed as a period of cultural stagnation, new data now demonstrate that this was a period of radical change and innovation. This was the period that witnessed the colonization of extensive new territory at high latitudes and high altitudes following postglacial climatic change, the development of seafaring, and the synthesis of the technological, economic, and social capabilities that underpinned the later development of agricultural and urban societies.

Echoing Narratives
Author: Konstantin Doulamis
Publisher: Barkhuis
ISBN: 9077922857
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Intertextuality has been recognised as an important feature of ancient prose fiction and yet it has only received sporadic attention in modern scholarship, despite the recent explosion of interest in the ancient novels. This volume is intended to make a contribution towards filling this gap by drawing attention to, and throwing fresh light on, the presence in ancient Greek and Roman narratives of earlier literary echoes. While one volume is by no means sufficient to remedy the problem of the relative lack of scholarship on the topic, nevertheless it is hoped that the present collection will create scope for debate and will generate greater scholarly interest in this area. Most of the articles collected here originated in the colloquium 'The Ancient Novel and its Reception of Earlier Literature', which was held at University College Cork in August 2007. They investigate the interconnection between Graeco-Roman narratives and earlier or contemporary works, and consider ways in which intertextual exploration is invited from the readers of these texts. What prompts the reader to associate a passage with an earlier text? What triggers in a text the evocation of motifs from antecedent literature? How might we interpret an identified allusion? In what ways can intertextuality function as a device of characterisation? These are among the questions explored by the chapters in this volume, which concentrate on the 'canonical' Greek romances and the Roman novels but also cover other novel-like works, such as the Alexander Romance and Alexander's Letter to Aristotle About India, and the Story of Apollonius King of Tyre.

Hunnic Peoples in Central and South Asia
Author: Dániel Balogh
Publisher: Barkhuis
ISBN: 9493194019
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
This volume is a comprehensive compilation of primary textual sources pertaining to the history of Hunnic peoples in the vast area encompassing Central and South Asia. Sources in nearly a dozen languages have been carefully selected by scholars with a specialisation in the particular language and relevant research experience. Each excerpt in the chrestomathy is presented in the original language, accompanied by an authoritative translation into a modern European language to make it accessible to specialists of other fields. Many texts are, moreover, accompanied by a commentary highlighting crucial points of interest, problematic issues and connections to the information revealed in other sources. The Sourcebook is the outcome of an interdisciplinary workshop held at Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest, Hungary) in August 2017, organised by the project Beyond Boundaries and funded by the European Research Council. The initial compilation of source texts was selectively presented, analysed and discussed at this workshop, culminating in the present volume, whose publication has also been supported by the ERC. The authors and the editor present the book to the community of scholars and enthusiasts in hopes that, by making pertinent primary sources accessible, it will serve as a solid foundation on which to base future research. The included commentaries are thus not intended to be exhaustive, but to instigate further enquiry. For in-depth discussion of many issues raised here, a Companion series is planned to follow the Sourcebook. The first companion volume, a study of the Alkhan by Hans Bakker, is released simultaneously by Barkhuis, Groningen.

"'Lyric' in contemporary literary criticism is a term as elusive as it is suggestive. It exists both as an adjective, expressing a poetic quality, and as a noun denoting a poetic mode, and both are notoriously difficult to define. It is this protean quality that has allowed 'lyric' to become a powerful creative stimulus for both poets and theorists. A foundational period for today's sense of 'lyric' was the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century"--
