Die in sumerischer Sprache verfassten Rangstreitgespräche stellen die ältesten Beispiele einer Literaturform dar, die sich bis ins Mittelalter hinein großer Beliebtheit erfreute. Bisher sind uns acht sumerische Rangstreitgespräche bekannt. In ihnen tragen jeweils zwei gegensätzliche, personifizierte Werte des täglichen Lebens (Objekte, Pflanzen, Tiere oder Menschen) einen verbalen Wettstreit aus, dessen Zweck es ist, den Ranghöheren von beiden auszumachen. Die Rangstreitgespräche sind uns aus dem Kontext der Schreiberausbildung überliefert. Die Dialogstruktur der Texte kombiniert mit der Absicht der Gegner sich gegenseitig zu übertrumpfen, legt nahe, dass sie dem Erwerb rednerischer Kompetenz dienten. Sie stellen deshalb einen idealen Ausgangspunkt zur Erforschung der rednerischen Praxis im Alten Orient dar. Den Kern der Arbeit bildet die rhetorische Untersuchung dreier Rangstreitgespräche. Das Hauptgewicht liegt hierbei auf der Analyse der Dialogstruktur. Ziel ist es, die von den Sprechern verwendeten Argumentationstechniken herauszuarbeiten und zu benennen und deren Einsatz durch die beiden Kontrahenten zu beschreiben. Eight disputations on precedence have been preserved from Ancient Mesopotamia. In these texts, two opposing understandings of everyday life engage in a verbal argument. The works served at one time to teach oratorical competency to individuals receiving advanced literacy training. This volume examines the argumentation structure of the dialogues, thereby contributing to research on oratorical practice in the Ancient Middle East.

Quatrième de couverture : Les décors héraldiques et emblématiques qui ornent encore châteaux, abbayes et maisons du Moyen Âge et de la période moderne, interpellent souvent l'observateur, qu'il soit amateur, étudiant ou même historien chevronné. À la fois séduits et intrigués par ces signes graphiques aussi esthétiques qu'étranges, les passionnés sont souvent décontenancés par l'apparente complexité de ces compositions, les termes techniques qui servent à les décrire ou encore les multiples interprétations qu'elles génèrent. Quel paradoxe pour des signes précisément créés pour communiquer, faire connaître et comprendre ! L'objectif de ce manuel est de rendre accessibles à tous les innombrables informations que nous livrent les emblèmes du Moyen Âge, de faire partager au plus grand nombre les approches renouvelées de ces signes fascinants. Cet ouvrage synthétique, fondé sur des analyses de sources et de cas pratiques appréhendés dans leurs contextes, sans négliger les fondamentaux du blason et une lecture théorique de ces emblèmes, propose une approche dynamique de l'emblématique vécue. Richement illustré, il offre les outils nécessaires pour décrypter non seulement les armoiries, mais aussi les cimiers, cris de guerre et devises.

"Distorted Descent examines a social phenomenon that has taken off in the twenty-first century: otherwise white, French descendant settlers in Canada shifting into a self-defined "Indigenous" identity. This study is not about individuals who have been dispossessed by colonial policies, or the multi-generational efforts to reconnect that occur in response. Rather, it is about white, French-descendant people discovering an Indigenous ancestor born 300 to 375 years ago through genealogy and using that ancestor as the sole basis for an eventual shift into an "Indigenous" identity today. After setting out the most common genealogical practices that facilitate race shifting, Leroux examines two of the most prominent self-identified "Indigenous" organizations currently operating in Quebec. Both organizations have their origins in committed opposition to Indigenous land and territorial negotiations, and both encourage the use of suspect genealogical practices. Distorted Descent brings to light to how these claims to an "Indigenous" identity are then used politically to oppose actual, living Indigenous peoples, exposing along the way the shifting politics of whiteness, white settler colonialism, and white supremacy."--

"Images and image cycles with genealogical content were everywhere in the high and later Middle Ages. They represent families related by blood as well as successive office holders and appear as family trees and lineages of single figures in manuscripts, on walls and in stained glass, and in sculpture and metalwork. Yet art historians have hardly remarked on the frequency of these images. Considering the physical contexts and functions of these works alongside the goals of their patrons, this volume examines groups of figural genealogies ranging across northern Europe and dating from the mid-twelfth to the mid-fourteenth century. Joan A. Holladay considers how they were used to legitimize rulers and support their political and territorial goals, to reinforce archbishops' rights to crown kings, to cement relationships between families of founders and their monastic foundations, and to commemorate the dead. The flexibility and legibility of this genre was key to its widespread use"--
