Urban Ecologies
City Space, Material Agency, and Environmental Politics in Contemporary Culture
AvChristopher Schliephake
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The term “urban ecology” has become a buzzword in various disciplines, including the social and natural sciences as well as urban planning and architecture. The environmental humanities have been slow to adapt to current theoretical debates, often excluding human-built environments from their respective frameworks. This book closes this gap both in theory and in practice, bringing together “urban ecology” with ecocritical and cultural ecological approaches by conceptualizing the city as an integral part of the environment and as a space in which ecological problems manifest concretely. Arguing that culture has to be seen as an active component and integral factor within urban ecologies, it makes use of a metaphorical use of the term, perceiving cities as spatial phenomena that do not only have manifold and complex material interrelations with their respective (natural) environments, but that are intrinsically connected to the ideas, imaginations, and interpretations that make up the cultural symbolic and discursive side of our urban lives and that are stored and constantly renegotiated in their cultural and artistic representations. The city is, within this framework, both seen as an ecosystemically organized space as well as a cultural artifact. Thus, the urban ecology outlined in this study takes its main impetus from an analysis of examples taken from contemporary culture that deal with urban life and the complex interrelations between urban communities and their (natural and built) environments.

What can a study of antiquity contribute to the interdisciplinary paradigm of the environmental humanities? And how does this recent paradigm influence the way we perceive human-'nature' interactions in pre-modernity? By asking these and a number of related questions, this Element aims to show why the ancient tradition still matters in the Anthropocene. Offering new perspectives to think about what directions the ecological turn could take in classical studies, it revisits old material, including ancient Greek religion and mythology, with central concepts of contemporary environmental theory. It also critically engages with forms of classical reception in current debates, arguing that ancient ecological knowledge is a powerful resource for creating alternative world views.

Conversing with Chaos in Graeco-Roman Antiquity

How did ancient Greeks and Romans perceive their environments: did they see order or chaos, chance or control? And how do their views compare to modern perceptions? Conversing with Chaos in Graeco-Roman Antiquity challenges prevailing ideas that ancient perceptions of the non-human world rested on a profound belief in universal order, and that the cosmos was harmonious and under human control. Engaging with the concept of chaos in both its ancient and modern meanings, and focusing on the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, this book reveals another sense of environmental awareness, one that paid equal attention to chance and chaos, and the sometimes-fatal consequences of human interventions in nature.Bringing together a team of international scholars, the volume investigates the experience of the interaction of humans with the environment, as reflected in ancient evidence from myths and philosophical treatises, to epigraphic evidence and archaeological remains. The contributors consider the role of the human in the formation of perspectives about the natural world and explore themes of agency, affordances, ecophobia, gender and temporality. Overall, the volume reveals how, in ancient imaginations, environments were perceived as living entities with their own agency, and respondent (or even vulnerable) to human actions and decision-making. It highlights how modern insights can enrich our understanding of the past, and demonstrates the increasing relevance of ancient historical research for reflecting on current relations to the natural world.

Ecocriticism, Ecology, and the Cultures of Antiquity

Although current environmental debates lay the focus on the Industrial Revolution as a sociopolitical development that has led to the current environmental crisis, many ecocritical projects have avoided historicizing their concepts or have been characterized by approaches that were either pre-historic or post-historic: while the environmental movement has harbored the dream of restoring nature to a state untouched by human hands, there is also the pessimistic vision of a post-apocalyptic world, exhausted by humanity’s consumption of natural resources. Against this background, the decline of nature has become a narrative template quite common among the public environmental discourse and environmental scientists alike. The volume revisits Antiquity as an epoch which witnessed similar environmental problems and came up with its own interpretations and solutions in dealing with them. This decidedly historical perspective is not only supposed to fill in a blank in ecocritical discourse, but also to question, problematize, and inform our contemporary debates with a completely different take on “nature” and humanity’s place in the world. Thereby, a productive dialogue between contemporary ecocritical theories and the classical tradition is established that highlights similarities as well as differences. This volume is the first book to bring ecocriticism and the classical tradition into a comprehensive dialogue. It assembles recognized experts in the field and advanced scholars as well as young and aspiring ecocritics. In order to ensure a dialogic exchange between the contributions, the volume includes four response essays by established ecocritics which embed the sections within a larger theoretical and practical ecocritical framework and discuss the potential of including the pre-modern world into our environmental debates.

Anticipatory Environmental (Hi)Stories from Antiquity to the Anthropocene

Anticipatory Environmental (Hi)Stories from Antiquity to the Anthropocene studies the interplay of environmental perception and the way societies throughout history have imagined the future state of “nature” and the environments in which coming generations would live. What sorts of knowledge were and are involved in outlining future environments? What kinds of texts and narrative strategies were and are developed and modified over time? How did and do scenarios and narratives of the past shape (hi)stories of the future? This book answers these questions from a diachronic as well as a cross-cultural perspective. By looking at a diverse range of historical evidence that transcends stereotypical utopian and dystopian visions and allows for nuanced insights beyond the dichotomous reservoir of pastoral motifs and apocalyptic narratives, the contributors illustrate the multifaceted character of environmental anticipation across the ages.

Der vorliegende Band geht auf die Sektion „Deutungskämpfe um die antike Divination im Spiegel spätrepublikanischer und kaiserzeitlicher Texte“ zurück, die auf dem 53. Deutschen Historikertag in München stattfand. In den hier vorgelegten Vorträgen der Sektion, die um Beiträge von Ursula Bittrich, Sara Chiarini, Tanja Itgenshorst, Meret Strothmann und Gregor Weber ergänzt sind, wird der Versuch unternommen, am Beispiel ausgewählter Autoren und Texte des 1. bis 3. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. zu diskutieren, wie diese mit dem Thema der Divination umgingen, und herauszuarbeiten, welche konkreten sozialen und kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen zur Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Anlass gaben. Dabei soll insbesondere aufgezeigt werden, welche Deutungskonflikte sich im Laufe der frühen Kaiserzeit entwickelten und wie diese zur Entwicklung (oder Problematisierung) von Expertenwissen beitrugen.

This study delves into descriptions of dreams in the work of Plutarch of Chaeronea. It focuses on the ethical dimension of the topic as, for Plutarch, dreams were a medium of philosophical insight and knowledge, and for making moral assessments of historical figures. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of Plutarch’s religious worldview as well as ancient (dream) divination.

How did British officers, geographers, and adventurers use the motif of 'travelling' in Alexander's 'footsteps' during their respective missions in Central Asia? Christopher Schliephake shows how the reception of Alexander the Great became an integral part of imperial self-representation and colonial identity in the nineteenth century. As Schliephake argues, the experiential framework of the exploration and conquest of regions like the Punjab or Afghanistan turned the abstract notion of following in Alexander's 'tracks' into a highly relevant category for negotiating the relationship between the present and the past, Europe and Asia. However, the further the British explorers advanced, they realized that Alexander had already been waiting for them - he came in the guise of Sikander or Iskander and some local indigenous tribes even claimed direct descent from him. The way the writings of the travelers reacted to the cultural confrontation between a 'Western' and an 'Eastern' Alexander will be one of the main themes of this e-book.
Nachhaltigkeit in der Antike

Nachhaltigkeit ist ein Schlagwort, das in den letzten Jahren verstärkt in aller Munde ist. Aber kannten eigentlich antike Gesellschaften Formen von ''Nachhaltigkeit''? Wie gingen Griechen und Römer mit erschöpfbaren Ressourcen wie Wasser und Holz um? Wurde Abfall wiederverwendet, und gab es überhaupt ein Bewusstsein für menschengemachte Umweltzerstörung? Die Autorinnen und Autoren zeigen, dass die Diskussionen um ''Nachhaltigkeit'' eine Ideengeschichte haben, die bis in die Vormoderne zurückreicht, und dass eine Anwendung moderner Begrifflichkeiten auf antike Gesellschaften Probleme, v.a. aber Perspektiven mit sich bringt, die dieser Band grundlegend aufarbeitet. Die antiken Gesellschaften mögen keinen Begriff für ''Nachhaltigkeit'' gekannt haben – in den Praktiken ihres Umweltverhaltens bieten sie dennoch reichlich Anschauungsmaterial, das sowohl Parallelen, aber auch wichtige Unterschiede zur Gegenwart erkennen lässt. Und das unser Verständnis der antiken Umweltgeschichte auf eine neue Grundlage stellt.

Friedenskultur(en) und monarchische Reprasentation in der Antike

Läs direkt efter köp
Die militarische Sieghaftigkeit gilt in der gegenwartigen Forschung als wichtiges Legitimationsmittel der antiken Monarchien. Zwar wird dabei oft eine notwendig bellizistische Ausrichtung monarchischen Handelns a priori gesetzt, doch ist der Aspekt der Sieghaftigkeit im Kontext monarchischer Selbstdarstellung entsprechend zu gewichten. Der Band geht der zentralen Frage nach, ob Krieg vorrangig als Mittel zur Herstellung von Frieden oder als Weg zur Aneignung materieller Ressourcen konzeptualisiert wird. Fuhrende internationale ExpertInnen zur antiken Monarchie betrachten dafur nicht die politische Praxis selbst, sondern deren Reprasentation und Reflexion in verschiedenen Medien und Texten. In den Blick genommen werden die monarchischen Traditionen des Vorderen Orients, das hellenistische Konigtum, das romische Kaisertum sowie die Transformation der Spatantike zum Mittelalter. Neben einem darstellenden sowie analytischen Teil enthalten die Beitrage eine Sammlung von zentralen Quellen, die fur die zukunftige Beschaftigung mit dem Thema des Friedens in der Antike eine unerlassliche Grundlage bereitstellen wird.
