Aniconism in Greek Antiquity By Milette Gaifman
2012 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 0199645787 | PDF | 18 MB
In this volume, Milette Gaifman explores a phenomenon known as aniconism - the absence of figural images of gods in Greek practiced religion and the adoption of aniconic monuments, namely objects such as pillars and poles, to designate the presence of the divine. Shifting our attention from the well-known territories of Greek anthropomorphism and naturalism, it casts new light on the realm of non-figural objects in Greek religious art. Drawing upon a variety of material and textual evidence dating from the rise of the Greek polis in the eighth century BC to the rise of Christianity in the first centuries AD, this book shows that aniconism was more significant than has often been assumed. Coexisting with the fully figural forms for representing the divine throughout Greek antiquity, aniconic monuments marked an undefined yet fixedly located divine presence. Cults centered on rocks were encountered at crossroads and on the edges of the Greek city. Despite aniconism's liminality, non-figural markers of divine presence became a subject of interest in their own right during a time when mimesis occupied the center of Greek visual culture. The ancient Greeks saw the worship of stones and poles without images as characteristic of the beginning of their own civilization. Similarly, in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, the existence of aniconism was seen as physical evidence for the continuity of ancient Greek traditions from time immemorial.

An illustrated history of Cordoba By José Manuel Ventura Rojas
2005 | 194 Pages | ISBN: 8496416232 | PDF | 59 MB
The present literary work offers a brief biographical sketch of the extensive history of Cordoba, one of those cities capable of snatching and dazzling not only to those souls on alert for the passage of time, but also to the followers of the poetical evocation and the sensitive pleasure. A rigorous and pleasant story illustrated with a beautiful selection of photographies and with determined intention of style, but achieving to interest to a wide audience. From its prehistoric origins up to the thresholds of the XXI century, each chapter approaches the different epochs lived by a city with one of the most illustrious, rich and varied past in the world. Cordoba is the result of the coexistance, antagonisms and interchanges of different cultures: small settlement by the river, emulation of the imperial Rome as the capital of the Andalusia. Pioneer of the oriental luxury and exoticism as court of the omeyas emirs and caliphs, Border city with the Nazary kingdom, full of prestigious nobility heraldries and innumerable convents acting as islands and archipelagoes extensively spread in its Renaissance and Baroque urban fabric - now fed by the wealth of The Indies, now destroyed by crisis and epidemics. And, finally, modest and engrossed capital of provinces of the inner Spain. We do not know its future, but its past remains magnificently summarized in this book. After the reading one understands the secret soul of Cordoba.

American Foreign Policy and National Security By Paul R. Viotti
2020 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 1621965015 | PDF | 4 MB
*This book is in theRapid Communications in Conflict and Security (RCCS) Series(General Editor: Geoffrey R.H. Burn).This book seeks explanation for the making and implementation of American foreign policy-the decisions and actions the United States takes vis-à-vis state and non-state actors abroad. The latter includes international (IOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), other groups and, in some cases, powerful individuals.In this effort we are drawn to the decisionmakers themselves. Although precise or point predictions are elusive, deeper understandings of how policymakers tend to operate in the processes of making and implementing foreign policy can lead to greater accuracy in the practical expectations we develop for what may happen. Rather than presenting a theory of foreign policy, this study identifies factors or essential elements that likely would be part of such a theory. These structural and ideational factors (both domestic and international) influence the choices policymakers make-the ways and means by which they make and implement American foreign policy.The book focuses on the nationalist or internationalist orientations of decisionmakers that affect the way they see the US role in making and implementing foreign policy. In this regard, nationalists are domestically focused and tend to deemphasize international involvement, minimizing to the extent possible government actions abroad. By contrast, I also identify three kinds of internationalist orientation-liberal, conservative, and militant. Broadly speaking, the range or spectrum of foreign policy options includes (1) diplomacy and other forms of peaceful or constructive engagement not just with allies, coalition partners and other friendly countries, but also vis-à-vis adversaries; (2) containment of adversaries-deterrence, coercive diplomacy, and other negative measures short of war; and (3) armed intervention or warfare with adversaries.Divided into three parts, Part 1 examines peaceful engagement, containment, and armed intervention. Part Two takes a look back on the American experience since the 18th century. Part Three explores how domestic politics affect the making and implementation of American foreign policy-dubbed politics on the Potomac River where the executive, legislative, and judicial branches and private-sector actors operate.The last two chapters address in greater detail the domestic political milieu and elite understandings of power that drive the making and implementation of American foreign policy.
