The Anatomy of Myth - Michael (lecturer At York University And The University Of Toronto) Herren - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Anatomy of Myth is a comprehensive study of the different methods of interpreting myths developed by the Greeks, adopted by the Romans, and eventually passed to Jewish and Christian interpreters of the Bible. Methods of myth interpretation are closely related to developments in Greek philosophy, beginning with the Presocratics in the 6th century B.C.E. and continuing to the Neoplatonists in the fifth century C.E. Greek thinkers only rarely saw ''myth'' as a category of thought in its own right. Most often they viewed myths as the creation of poets, especially Homer and Hesiod, or else as an ancient revelation that had been corrupted by them. In the first instance, critics attempted to find in the intention of the authors some deeper truth, whether physical or spiritual; in the second, they deemed it necessary to clear away poetic falsehoods in order to recapture an ancient revelation. Parallel to the philosophical critiques were the efforts of early historians to explain myths as exaggerated history; myths could be purified by logos (reason) and rendered believable. Practically all of these early methods could be lumped under the term ''allegory'' - to intend something different from what one expressed. Only occasionally did philosophers veer from a concern for the literal truth of myths; but a few thinkers, while acknowledging myths as fictions, defended their value for the examples of good and bad human behavior they offered. These early efforts were invaluable for the development of critical thinking, enabling public criticism of even the most authoritative texts. The Church Fathers Church took the interpretative methods of their pagan contemporaries and applied them vigorously to their reading of the scriptures. Pagan Greek methods of myth interpretation passed into the Middle Ages and beyond, serving as a perennial defense against the damaging effects of scriptural literalism and fundamentalism.

Das Programm des ,,5. Grazer Radiologischen Symposiums" sollte einen aktuel­ len und moglichst umfassenden Oberblick tiber 3 Themenkreise anbieten: Das 1. Hauptthema war traditionellerweise Einsatz, Stellenwert und Aussage moderner bildgebender Verfahren. Wie bereits in den Jahren 1983 und 1985 war der neueste Stand der Kernspintomographie von besonderem Interesse. Das 2. Hauptthema behandelte die therapeutischen Aspekte der interventio­ nellen Radiologie. Das 3. Hauptthema betraf das Gebiet der Dokumentation, Archivierung und Kommunikation von Befunden und Bilddaten. Die groBe Zahl von tiber 600 Teilnehmern und die rege Diskussion haben uns gezeigt, daB die gewiihlten Themen dieser Veranstaltung das allgemeine Interesse angesprochen haben. Der intensive Meinungsaustausch zwischen Teilnehmern und Referenten aus 17 Nationen hat sicher zu neuen, fruchtbaren Anregungen gefUhrt. Urn die Ergebnisse dieses Symposiums wieder einem groBen Kreis zugiinglich zu machen, entschlossen wir uns, die Vortriige in einem Tagungsband zu publizieren.

Sites of International Memory - - Bog - University of Pennsylvania Press - Plusbog.dk

Sites of International Memory - - Bog - University of Pennsylvania Press - Plusbog.dk

Whether we think of statues, plaques, street-names, practices, material or intangible forms of remembrance, the language of collective memory is everywhere, installed in the name of not only nations, or even empires, but also an international past. The essays in Sites of International Memory address the notion of a shared past, and how this idea is promulgated through sites and commemorative gestures that create or promote cultural memory of such global issues as wars, genocide, and movements of cross-national trade and commerce, as well as resistance and revolution.In doing so, this edited collection asks: Where are the sites of international memory? What are the elements of such memories of international pasts, and of internationalism? How and why have we remembered or forgotten “sites” of international memory? Which elements of these international pasts are useful in the present?Some contributors address specific sites and moments—World War II, liberation movements in India and Ethiopia, commemorations of genocide—while other pieces concentrate more on the theoretical, on the idea of cultural memory. UNESCO’s presence looms large in the volume, as it is the most visible and iconic international organization devoted to creating critical heritage studies on a world stage. Formed in the aftermath of World War II, UNESCO was instrumental in promoting the idea of a “humanity” that exists beyond national, regional, or cultural borders or definitions. Since then, UNESCO’s diplomatic and institutional channels have become the sites at which competing notions of international, world, and “human” communities have jostled in conjunction with politically specific understandings of cultural value and human rights.This volume has been assembled to investigate sites of international memory that commemorate a past when it was possible to imagine, identify, and invoke “international” ideas, institutions, and experiences, in diverse, historically situated contexts.
