Visualising China, 1845-1965


Moving and Still images in Historical Narratives
Edited by Christian Henriot, University of Lyon and Wen-hsin Yeh, University of California at Berkeley

p u b l i c at i o n s

In Bukhara and the Muslims of Russia Allen Frank examines the relationship between Muslims in Russia and the city of Bukhara, examining paradoxes emerging the citys Sufism-based Islamic prestige, and the emergence of Islamic reformism in Russia.

Through ten contributions written by specialists, Revisiting Rituals in a Changing Tibetan Context examines the changes rituals have undergone in Tibet, Nepal and Mongolia in the wake of political and socio-cultural upheavals.

In Visualizing China, the authors launch a broad inquiry aimed at a synergistic understanding of the story of visuality in modern China. The essays cluster around several nodal points including photographs, advertising, posters and movies, from the 1840s to the 1960s.

Critical Readings on Manchu History (4 vol. set)


Edited by Lars Laamann, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

p u b l i c at i o n s

Chris Nierstrasz In the Shadow of the Company, offers us an insight into the relation between the Dutch East India Company and its servants as it slipped into decline. This relationship altered dramatically in the eighteenth century under internal and external pressures.

Genjis world in Japanese Woodblock Prints provides the first comprehensive overview of Genji prints, a phenomenon and exceptional subject of Japanese woodblock prints that gives insight into nineteenth-century Japan and its art practices.

Who were the Manchus and what was their contribution to history? The articles selected for this volume clearly demonstrate the cultural diversity of both the Manchu people and of the empire they created - the Qing. The inter-ethnic composition of the Qing clearly resonates with China today.

The famous rysai-kenbo or good wife and wise mother role of women was not, after all, a traditional Confucian view but a modern construct.

Mapping Metaphorical Discourse in the Fourth Gospel


Johns Eternal King
Beth M. Stovell, St.Thomas University in Miami Gardens, Florida

Refering to Hengel/Schwemer, Hurtado and their view of Early Christianity, the Reflections on Early Christian History of Religion document a scholarly discussion of problems and possibilities of studying and presenting Christian religion in Roman Antiquity.

Voluntary death plays a central role in various discourses of the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Period Judaism, Early Christianity and its pagan environment, Rabbinic Judaism as well as in Islam. The established concepts of martyrdom are challenged.

In Mapping Metaphorical Discourse in the Fourth Gospel, Beth M. Stovell examines the metaphor of Jesus as king throughout the Fourth Gospel using an interdisciplinary metaphor theory incorporating cognitive and systemic functional linguistic approaches with literary approaches.

Universalism and Particularism at Sodom and Gomorrah


Essays in Memory of Ron Pirson

Challenging nearly two centuries of scholarship, The Apocryphal Epistle to the Laodiceans offers the first close analysis of Laodiceans. Philip Tite offers a detailed study of this Latin letter by exploring the epistolary conventions utilized by the letter writer.

This volume comprises sixteen studies focused on the last extant part of Clements Stromateis. Written by specialists from seven countries, it is a compendium of contemporary scholarship dealing with major aspects of Clements thought in general.

This book reexamines the Sodom and Gomorrah narrative in Genesis 1819, an ethically charged text that has significantly influenced views about homosexuality, stereotyping the other, the rewards and risks of hospitality, and the justice owed to outsiders.

The Architecture and Liturgy of the Bema in Fourth- to-Sixth-Century Syrian Churches
Emma Loosley, University of Manchester

p u b l i c at i o n s

First published in 2003 this is a new edition of a work that remains the only study of the nave platform known as the Syrian Bema to utilise an interdisciplinary approach. By combining archaeological and architectural research with a study of the Syriac Liturgy to explore how worship evolved on the Syrian Limestone Massif in Late Antiquity, this volume proposes a solution to the long debated question of why only approximately 50 of these bemata have been discovered amongst many thousands of late antique churches in Syria. It charts the evolution of the early liturgy in Syria and seeks to explain how the location of the Limestone Massif in the hinterland of Antioch may have affected the development of worship in the region.

A survey of the various ways in which the extensive remains of ancient architecture were reused or destroyed in the crescent from Greece and Turkey through Syria, Palestine, North Africa to Islamic Spain. The book complements and echoes some of the themes in the authors Marble Past, Monumental Present (2009). Offering a large number of varied examples, it examines how the ancient landscape was transformed - towns, roads and ports, fountains and waterways, tombs, palaces, villas and inscriptions. It then addresses reuse in churches, mosques and other structures, dealing also with collectors and museum-builders. Also considered are the dismantling and transport of the often massive blocks, and the superstitions surrounding antiquities which contributed to their continuing renown or to their destruction.

Provisionally Applied Treaties: Their Binding Force and Legal Nature


Anneliese Quast Mertsch

p u b l i c at i o n s

This book explains why supranationalism and multiculturalism are in fact irreconcilable with representative government and the rule of law. It challenges one of the most central beliefs in contemporary legal and political philosophy, which is that borders are bound to disappear.

The social scientist and economist Professor Dr. Raymond Saner draws on his long years of experience as a negotiation adviser, teacher, trainer, researcher and university lecturer to show that two thirds of negotiation practice is learnable. The author treats the different aspects of negotiation practice in a way that is useful to both academics and practitioners.

In Provisionally Applied Treaties: Their Binding Force and Legal Nature, Anneliese Quast Mertsch analyses the binding force and legal nature of treaties during the period of their provisional application in light of international practice and academic opinion.

Forcible Displacement Throughout the Ages


Towards an International Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Forcible Displacement
Grant dawson and Sonia Farber

p u b l i c at i o n s

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea is an independent judicial body established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to adjudicate disputes arising out of the interpretation and application of the Convention.

Beginning with an attempt at understanding evildoing during armed conflicts, from both the general perspective and the particular angle of sexual violence itself, this book explores ways of shoring up international legal protection of women from sexual violence in armed conflicts.

This book analyses the anthropological, historical, and legal contours of the crime of forcible displacement and proposes specific measures that the international community can adopt in order to prevent and/ or punish the perpetration of the crime in the future.

Through a collective biographical methodology of four scholars 20th century scholars this book investigates how Jewish identity and intellectual ties to Judaic civilisation in the German speaking legal context influenced the international legal discipline.

The book analyses the concept and application of justice in every domain of life. Justice has a universal character, relevant to every part of the world. Deviation from its norms brings injustice entailing denigration of human nature in all its expressions. The book is worth reading by everyone interested in justice.

Despite limitations with the concept, the overall thesis is that there is a role for group rights as a pragmatic tool allowing for a principled approach to substate groups through international law. Such an approach could turn group rights into an arguably minor, but nevertheless, highly relevant legal category of international law. More details on brill.nl.

Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics


Edited by Geoffrey Khan

p u b l i c at i o n s

The Hebrew language has one of the longest attested histories of any of the worlds languages, with records of its use from antiquity until modern times. Although it ceased to be a spoken language by the 2nd century C.E., Hebrew continued to be used and to develop in the form of a literary and liturgical language until its revival as a vernacular in the 20th century. The Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics offers a systematic and comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the history and study of the Hebrew language from its earliest attested form to the present day. The encyclopedia contains overview articles that provide a readable synopsis of current knowledge of the major periods and varieties of the Hebrew language as well as thematically-organized entries which provide further information on individual topics, such as the Hebrew of various sources (texts, manuscripts, inscriptions, reading traditions), major grammatical features (phonology, morphology, and syntax), lexicon, script and paleography, theoretical linguistic approaches, and so forth. With over 950 entries and approximately 400 contributing scholars, the Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics is the authoritative reference work for students and researchers in the fields of Hebrew linguistics, general linguistics, Biblical studies, Hebrew and Jewish literature, and related fields.

The manuscripts of the Cairo Genizah are a unique source for medieval medical history. In this study, Lev and Chipman offer an insight into the everyday practical medicine of medieval Egypt, as revealed by the prescriptions in the Genizah.

The Economic History of European Jews offers a radical revision of demographics and economics. It explains how the presence of Jews was a limited one and their trade was just that, trade by Jews, not Jewish Trade.

The internal tensions and conflicts central to Haredi Lithuanian yeshivas in contemporary Israel are described with a focus on the rabinical authorities attempts to respond to these difficulties and the changes the Haredi community is experiencing as a result.

In The Paradigm of Recognition. Freedom as Overcoming the Fear of Death Paul Cobben elaborates a paradigm of recognition based on Hegels Phenomenology of Spirit. This framework enables fundamental criticism of Honneths three forms of social freedom.

In Pyrrhonian Scepticism and Hegels Theory of Judgement Ioannis Trisokkas offers a systematic analysis of the dialectic of the judgement in Hegels Science of Logic in the context of the problem of Pyrrhonian scepticism.

This book pursues an in-depth discussion between Eckharts mysticism and Henrys radical or material phenomenology of life. Such an encounter opens up a path for the future, which does not arrange singularity and universality against each another but rather integrates them as a merged action.
