The ancient Near Eastern mode of thought is not at all intuitive to us moderns, but our understanding of ancient perspectives can only approach accuracy when we begin to penetrate ancient texts on their own terms rather than imposing our own world view. In this task, we are aided by the ever-growing corpus of literature that is being recovered and analyzed.After an introduction that presents some of the history of comparative studies and how it has been applied to the study of ancient texts in general and cosmology in particular, Walton focuses in the first half of this book on the ancient Near Eastern texts that inform our understanding about ancient ways of thinking about cosmology. Of primary interest are the texts that can help us discern the parameters of ancient perspectives on cosmic ontology—that is, how the writers perceived origins. Texts from across the ancient Near East are presented, including primarily Egyptian, Sumerian, and Akkadian texts, but occasionally also Ugaritic and Hittite, as appropriate. Walton’s intention, first of all, is to understand the texts but also to demonstrate that a functional ontology pervaded the cognitive environment of the ancient Near East. This functional ontology involves more than just the idea that ordering the cosmos was the focus of the cosmological texts. He posits that, in the ancient world, bringing about order and functionality was the very essence of creative activity. He also pays close attention to the ancient ideology of temples to show the close connection between temples and the functioning cosmos.The second half of the book is devoted to a fresh analysis of Genesis 1:1–2:4. Walton offers studies of significant Hebrew terms and seeks to show that the Israelite texts evidence a functional ontology and a cosmology that is constructed with temple ideology in mind, as in the rest of the ancient Near East. He contends that Genesis 1 never was an account of material origins but that, as in the rest of the ancient world, the focus of “creation texts” was to order the cosmos by initiating functions for the components of the cosmos. He further contends that the cosmology of Genesis 1 is founded on the premise that the cosmos should be understood in temple terms. All of this is intended to demonstrate that, when we read Genesis 1 as the ancient document it is, rather than trying to read it in light of our own world view, the text comes to life in ways that help recover the energy it had in its original context. At the same time, it provides a new perspective on Genesis 1 in relation to what have long been controversial issues. Far from being a borrowed text, Genesis 1 offers a unique theology, even while it speaks from the platform of its contemporaneous cognitive environment.

Quand on aura redressé l'axe de la terre en cultivant les pôles, les mers auront un goût de limonade, les bêtes féroces feront place aux anti-lions, aux anti-crocodiles et aux anti-baleines. Les propos fouriéristes sur les copulations des planètes et la queue des habitants du soleil ont fait scandale. Et pourtant, astronomes, « socialistes », tourneurs de table et hommes de lettres du xixe siècle ne se privaient pas d'évoquer les habitants des étoiles.

Cerca de Loma Larga, un poblado teenek de la Huasteca veracruzana se eleva un cerro en donde antes, se dice, vivía el Trueno pero que se fue a otro lugar porque no quería segur cerca de quienes fueron llegando a establecerse en los alrededores. El Trueno, el dios mesoamericano del viento y de la lluvia, ya no está entre los teenek de loma Larga, pero su presencia permanece viva en la memoria de este grupo indígena a pesar de la acción “civilizadora” que ha experimentado desde la conquista. “El Trueno ya no vive aquí es una aserción indígena que refleja un antiguo sistema de representación así como un proceso moderno de aculturación. Dicho enunciado forma la trama de este libro que analiza las representaciones simbólicas teenek influidas por el proceso de los cambios culturales. A través del examen de las realidades y concepciones del mundo y del microcosmos indígena frente a las de la sociedad global, Anath Ariel de Vidas desarrolla paralelamente un estudio etnográfico de la comunidad y un planteamiento teórico acerca del problema fundamental de la elaboración de la identidad étnica teenek actual. Las profundas desigualdades que oponen a los mestizos-ganaderos del norte de Veracruz y a los indígenas-campesinos son una clave do lectura de esta sociedad local y explican en gran medida, la firme percepción de identidad de los teenek Pero no es el único factor; la aprehensión complementaria de las categorías culturales indígenas de la alteridad se obtiene esencialmente a través del análisis de las prácticas cotidianas, de las representaciones autóctonas de la tradición, del parentesco, de la territorialidad, de la organización social y, fundamentalmente, de la relación teenek con la naturaleza y con lo sobrenatural, lo cual arroja luz sobre el universo sincrético teenek, su organización espacial y social, en el cual descansa la distinción que hacen entre Ellos y los Otros. Este libro revela cómo es adquirida, transmitida y constantemente reinterpretada la percepción…

The graffiti published in this richly-illustrated volume were discovered during an excavation of the Roman basilica in the Ancient Greek city of Smyrna, known today as Izmir, which is situated on the Aegean coast of modern Turkey. The project, which began in 2003, has unearthed a multitude of graffiti and drawings encompassing a wide range of subjects and interests, including local politics, nautical vessels, sex, and wordplay. Each graffito artifact holds the potential for vast historical and cultural data, rescued in this volume from the passage of time and razing ambitions of urban development. Given the city's history, the potential wealth of knowledge to be gleamed from these discoveries is substantial: Smyrna has an uninterrupted history of settlement since the Neolithic-Copper ages, and remains today a major city and Mediterranean seaport at the crossroads of key trade routes. The present volume provides comprehensive editions of the texts, descriptions of the drawings, and an extensive introduction to the subjects of the graffiti, how they were produced, and who was responsible for them. A complete set of color photographs is included. -- Amazon.com.
