Abstract

The central theme of the book is the relationship between a hero or cultural icon and the cultures in which he or she is venerated. On one hand, a hero cannot remain a static character if he or she is to appeal to diverse and dynamic communities. On the other hand, a traditional icon should retain some basic features in order to remain recognizable. Joshua son of Nun is an iconic figure of Israelite cultural memory described at length in the Hebrew Bible and venerated in numerous religious traditions. This book uses Joshua as a test case. It tackles reception and redaction history, focusing on the use and development of Joshua’s character and the deployment of his various images in the narratives and texts of several religious traditions. I look for continuities and discontinuities between traditions, as well as cross-pollination and polemic. The first two chapters look at Joshua’s portrayal in biblical literature, using both synchronic (literary analysis) as well as diachronic (Überlieferungsgeschichte and redaction/source criticism) methodologies. The other four chapters focus on the reception history of Joshua in Second Temple and Hellenistic Jewish literature, in the medieval (Arabic) Samaritan Book of Joshua, in the New Testament and Church Fathers, and in Rabbinic literature.

Abstract

Die heutige Erforschung der nordgermanischen Mythologie und Religion hängt wesentlich von den schriftlichen Hinterlassenschaften des isländischen Gelehrten und Politikers Snorri Sturluson (1178/79-1241) ab. In rund 200 Jahren hat sich diese Forschung in vielfältiger Form entfaltet, in den letzten Jahrzehnten zunehmend aber auch kanonische Ansprüche erhoben. Zugleich werden in der Forschungsdebatte teils diametrale Positionen vertreten.Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt das Ziel einer konstruktiven Neuorientierung in dieser Debatte. Dies erfordert zum einen die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit einer komplexen Fach- und Forschungsgeschichte. Zum anderen wird für einen gleichermaßen text- wie kontextbewussten methodischen Zugang in der Altnordistik plädiert: Eine gegenstandsspezifische, individuell problemorientierte Herangehensweise in der Untersuchung mittelalterlicher Literaturen wird künftig in stärkerem Maße gefordert sein.Die vorliegende Arbeit umfasst eine kritische Diskussion hochmittelalterlicher Diskurse sowie eine detaillierte Auseinandersetzung mit den überlieferten Fassungen von Snorris Werk auf Grundlage einer lexematischen Analyse. Sie versteht sich dabei als Diskussionsangebot und Impulsgeber in einem interdisziplinären Forschungsbereich.

Abstract

Drawing on many archival findings, this book considers the emerging function and status of orchestral conductors in Britain, and the nature of the opportunities available to them, from the late Victorian era until the outbreak of World War I. It does so by examining and comparing the profiles and impact of eight men whose work supplied the needs of a variety of institutions across the period but whose significant contributions were overshadowed by the emergence of virtuoso interpreters. The conducting activities of Julius Benedict, William Cusins, Joseph Barnby, Arthur Sullivan, Frederic Cowen, Alexander Mackenzie, Dan Godfrey and Landon Ronald provide a lens through which the evolution of conducting as a profession is traced. At the British Empire's height their work was shaped by and enriched the cultural life of the nation. During a period of intense activity and development, their portfolios of engagements and working patterns shed light on the infrastructures within the music business. By focusing on the fortunes and agency of conductors resident within the marketplace, this book deepens our understanding of the internal networks, influences and priorities within musical lifein Britain in the late nineteenth century.

Abstract

During a moment of exponential growth and change in the fields of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies, it is an opportune time to take stock of the state wisdom and wisdom literature with twenty-three essays honoring the consummate Weisheitslehrer, Professor Choon Leong Seow, Vanderbilt, Buffington, Cupples Chair in Divinity and Distinguished Professor of Hebrew Bible at Vanderbilt University. This Festschrift is tightly focused around wisdom themes, and all of the essays are written by senior scholars in the field. They represent not only the great diversity of approaches in the field of wisdom and wisdom literature, but also the remarkable range of interests and methods that have characterized Professor Seow's own work throughout the decades, including the theology of the wisdom literature, the social world of Ecclesiastes, the history of consequences of the book of Job, the poetry of the Psalms, and Northwest Semitic Inscriptions, just to name a few.
