Women in the Classical World CC 4V

Women in the Classical World CC 4V

The study of women in Graeco-Roman antiquity has a long history but many recent developments—prominent among which are the rise of feminist theory and theoretical and interpretive work in material culture—have transformed approaches to the study of women’s lived experiences in antiquity. This four-volume collection brings together the best scholarship that has both established the field and moved it forward. The articles collected here are interdisciplinary bringing into conversation the full range of evidence for women in the classical world: historical literary legal medical inscriptional mythic artistic (e. g. sculpture frescoes paintings terracottas) and the material found in archaeological excavations including evidence from burials finds from houses and the remains of food processing and textile production. Ideology is relevant to each volume as both Greek and Roman societies had highly developed ideologies and cultural ideals that exercised profound and pervasive influence over women’s lives. Social class is implicated in these ideologies in ways that are made evident in every genre of source material. Women in the Classical World edited by two of the leading scholars in the field presents in one reference source a complete picture of women in Ancient Greece and Rome based on a vast of array of sources. This material has not been collected together in one place before. | Women in the Classical World CC 4V

Consciousness

Consciousness

What is the nature of subjectivity intersubjectivity and objectivity? And what is the relation of brain studies to individual experience? How can we avoid the mysteries of dualism and the implausibilities of reductionism? How do Eastern and Western conceptions of mind consciousness and self differ? These are the kind of dizzying questions that are asked by those working in consciousness studies. They are foundational for psychological science and now to meet the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject’s vast literature and the continuing explosion in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research output Routledge announces a new title in its Critical Concepts in Psychology series. Edited by Max Velmans a leading authority Consciousness is a new four-volume collection of the canonical and the very best cutting-edge scholarship in the field. It provides a synoptic view of all the key issues and current debates as well as guidance to likely future developments. With comprehensive introductions newly written by the editor which place the collected materials in their historical and intellectual context Consciousness is an essential work of reference. It is destined to be valued by psychologists and neuroscientists—as well as those working in related areas of philosophy—as a vital research resource.

Comparative Constitutional Law

Comparative Constitutional Law

Once a mere appendage to constitutional law proper research in comparative constitutional law has burgeoned in recent decades. Indeed a growing tendency towards international borrowing and harmonization has been marked in many jurisdictions (even tentatively the United States) but it has not been uncontroversial or uncontested. Now this new collection from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Law series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to help researchers and students navigate and make better sense of an abundance of scholarship in comparative constitutional law. The collection is made up of four volumes which bring together the best and most influential canonical and cutting-edge thinking. Topics include constitution-making and amendment; the different structural components of constitutional governance (such as the relationship of legislatures to courts and the effects of different methods of judicial oversight); the interaction of constitutional law with transnational sources of law; and theoretical and practical aspects of constitutional legitimacy. With a full index and thoughtful introductions newly written by the learned editor Comparative Constitutional Law traces the field's development and highlights the challenges for future explorations. The collection will be valued by legal scholars—as well as by political philosophers and theorists—as a vital and enduring resource.

Military History

Military History

Addressing the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature Military History is a new title from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Military Strategic and Security Studies series. Edited by Jeremy Black (‘the most prolific historical scholar of our age’) it is a four-volume collection which brings together the very best scholarship in a one-stop ‘mini library’ of major works. Black avers that military history is increasingly seen as a global enterprise and Eurocentric/Western perspectives and paradigms often now appear questionable if not redundant. Moreover a teleology of warfare leading towards the total warfare of the twentieth century—the two world wars and the Cold War—appears far less convincing he says in light of developments since 1990. This kind of re-examination of long-held assumptions about military history has guided the selection of materials which are organized chronologically but with abundant cross-referencing to enable users to pursue thematic approaches. The focus is on major works published since 1990 first to centre on current research questions and perspectives and secondly because earlier literature can be followed through these pieces. Military History is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential reference work and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital research and pedagogic resource.

J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973) is widely regarded as one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. His popularity began with the publication in 1937 of The Hobbit and was cemented by the appearance of The Lord of the Rings in the early 1950s. However engagement with his work was until relatively recently sidelined by literary and other scholars. Consequently many foundational analyses of his fiction and his work as a medievalist are dispersed in hard-to-find monographs and obscure journals (often produced by dedicated amateurs). In contrast over the last decade or so academic interest in Tolkien has risen dramatically. Indeed interpretative and critical commentary is now being generated on a bewildering scale in part aided by the continuing posthumous publication of his work (most recently his Beowulf translation which appeared in 2014). The dizzying quantity—and variable quality—of this later criticism makes it difficult to discriminate the useful from the tendentious superficial and otiose. Now in four volumes a new collection from Routledge’s Critical Assessments of Major Writers series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to collect early evaluations and to make sense of the more recent explosion in research output. Users are now able easily and rapidly to locate the best and most influential critical assessments. With material gathered into one easy-to-use set Tolkien researchers and students can now spend more of their time with the key journal articles book chapters and other pieces rather than on time-consuming (and sometimes fruitless) archival searches.

The History of Science

The History of Science

Science is one of the main features of the contemporary world and shapes our lives to an extent that has no precedents in history. Yet science as we know it today is the outcome of contingent social processes and its global success is far from self-explanatory. How did it happen? How did science emerge in history and became the most authoritative source of knowledge available in late modern societies? This set of volumes addresses these crucial questions through a selection of exemplary publications spanning antiquity to the present day. The reader will find an effective survey of the best scholarship in this rapidly growing field and a map of the main revolutions as well as the long-term continuities that have characterized our understanding the world and our attempts to control it. The collection brings together areas of inquiry that have become increasingly distant and specialized such as the history of antique science or Cold War studies within broader narratives of the making of the modern world. They also reassess the traditional assumption of the exclusively Greek and Western origins of modern science situating relevant knowledge practices and artefacts within the global networks that sustained them: in ancient as well as in modern times. The gathered materials address key historiographical issues such as the relationship between science magic and religion; the role of science in nation-building processes; and the relationship between science and technology. | The History of Science

Islam and Modernity

Islam and Modernity

The relationship between Islam and modernity has generated and rich but complex literature. While competing accounts sometimes appear incommensurable there is at least some convergence on the view that Islam and modernity reflect an unsettled encounter. For some this is self-evident because the relationship rests on contested foundational questions not least: whose modernity and which Islam? For others it is a less a theoretical and more a historical issue in so far as there has been a process underway in which Islam has proved slow in ‘catching up’. This Major Work gives space to an evolving conversation between Islam and four component parts of modernity. It has a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context.
