Abstract

This German doctoral thesis challenges the orthodox view that the South-Caucasian culture of the Late Bronze Age played a decisive role in early iron production. The region is characterized, on the contrary, as a traditionally-bound aristocratic society with an impressive bronze industry. It was the underestimated nomad population of South-Eastern Turkey that first made use of the new metal and discovered the art of steel making. Climatic changes forced a southward migration, which not only brought the two cultures into contact, but also into conflict, with each other. A process of successful

Abstract

The essays in this volume focus on two themes: the centrality of the production of and trade in cloth in the emergence of market activity; and the nature of the industrialization process. The core of the book is formed by four detailed ethnographic studies of the development and current organization of cloth production for the market, in different parts of the world: tailoring in Kano City, northern Nigeria (Pokrant); dyeing and weaving in Daboya, northern Ghana (Goody); 'fashion'- shirt production in Bombay, India (Swallow); and the manufacture of 'handmade' Harris tweed in the Hebrides (Ennew). Each study examines access to raw materials and to the market, relations of production, the investment of capital and the reproduction of the system. Individually, they raise such questions as the role of fashion, the effects of national economic policies and legislation, and factors related to the modification of traditional technologies.

Abstract

Klaas Vansteenhuyse bestudeert ' Lees meerde fascinerende mechanismen van verandering en verval in de geschiedenis. Op een heldere en onderhoudende manier onthult hij de ingrijpende veranderingen die de volken in het Middellands Zeegebied als de Mykeners, de Hittieten, de Egyptenaren op het einde van de Late Bronstijd ondergingen. Een roemrijke en bloeiende periode vol intensieve diplomatieke en handelscontacten kent een succesvol hoogtepunt. En komt ook onherroepelijk ten val' Rijke steden gaan in vlammen op, plunderaars duiken op, een donkere tijd begint. Kleine en onbekende groepen, de zeevolken, worden met de vinger gewezen. Hebben ze schuld aan deze ondergang? Of bewaren net zij de elementen uit een verloren tijd?
