Die produktive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Altertum gehört zu den Konstanten der europäischen Kulturgeschichte, und dies nicht nur in jenen Epochen, in denen diese eine explizite Programmatik begründet hat wie in Renaissance oder Klassizismus. Allerdings lassen sich bereits in der Antike vielfältige Strategien der Sinnstiftung aus der Vergangenheit greifen, in denen deren modellbildende Rolle für die nachantiken Epochen vorgeprägt ist. Dabei begegnen sich antike und nachantike Fälle darin, dass sie den Blick zurück als einen Prozess kreativer Aneignung begreifen, der Züge eines epochenübergreifenden Dialogs trägt. Die zehn Beiträge des Sammelbands, die aus einer Vortragsreihe an der Katholischen Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt hervorgehen, deuten in exemplarischen Studien aus Antike, Spätantike, Früher Neuzeit und Moderne das gestalterische Potential an, das dem Rückgriff auf die Vergangenheit zu eigen ist, und weisen in ihrer Gesamtschau auf die transhistorische Dimension des Phänomens hin.

Although we often treat the senses as though they are immutable, fundamental properties of our physiology, the way we parse our sensory experiences is dictated by our cultural context. Accordingly, the essays in "Distant impressions" explore the social aspects of sensation in the ancient Near East, inviting the reader to move beyond the physiological study of sensation to an examination of its cultural meanings. The essays in this book approach the question of sensory experience in ancient Near Eastern societies from philological, literary, art historical, and archaeological perspectives. They address the means of sense perception (such as light, noise, and odor), examining the senses within religious, political, and social frameworks. The first part of this volume looks at the monumental architecture, bas-reliefs, and tablets of the Neo-Assyrian period, while the second explores sensory dimensions of the built environment and textual representations of sensation in other times and places, such as Neolithic northern Mesopotamia and Hittite Anatolia. Building on recent scholarship that focuses on the social aspects of sensation in history, "Distant impressions" brings this approach to bear on ancient Near Eastern studies for the first time.
