Provides a multi-scalar synthesis of Nordic Bronze Age economies (1800/1700–500 BCE) that is organized around six sections: an introduction to the Nordic Bronze Age, macro-economic perspectives, defining local communities, economic interaction, conflict and alliances, political formations, and encountering Europe. Despite a unifying material culture, the Bronze Age of Scandinavia was complex and multi- layered with constantly shifting and changing networks of competitors and partners. The social structure in this highly mobile and dynamic macroregional setting was affected by subsistence economies based on agropastoralism, maritime sectors, the production of elaborate metal wealth, trade in a wide range of goods, as well as raiding and warfare. For this reason, the focus of this book is on the integration and interaction of subsistence and political economies in a comparative analyses between different local constellations within the macro-economic setting of prehistoric Europe.

Recent research has uncovered new evidence of long-distance interactions between Scandinavia and Iberia during the Late Bronze Age. Advances in various lines of inquiry, such as 3D recording of rock art, iconography, metals and amber sourcing, linguistics, and, to some extent, more indirect indications from human remains, as reflected by strontium and aDNA results, have made this possible. The main goal of this book is to cross reference Iberian Late Bronze Age warrior iconography with Scandinavian warrior iconography. However, we will also account for links based on archeometallurgical evidence, linguistics, and other lines of inquiry, such as Baltic Amber, and metal artifacts. The results have been produced within the framework of the RAW project, an international undertaking funded by the Swedish Research Council. The RAW project is motivated by the discovery of isotopic and chemical evidence for Nordic Bronze Age artifacts made of copper that originated in the Iberian Peninsula. These findings led to re-opening two long known, but poorly explained, phenomena: 1) numerous shared motifs and close formal parallels in the rock art of Scandinavia and Iberian ‘warrior’ stelae, and 2) a large body of inherited words shared by the Celtic and Germanic languages, but not the other Indo-European branches. An integrated explanation for the three phenomena (Iberian metal in Scandinavia, parallels in Bronze Age rock carvings, and Celto-Germanic vocabulary) could now be formulated as a testable hypothesis: an episode in the Bronze Age when materials and ideas were exchanged over long distances between Scandinavia and the Atlantic West, including the Iberian Peninsula.

Bøger om filosofi kan være svære at læse, og filosoffers tanker kan også være svære at forbinde med vores eget hverdagsliv. Men i denne bog får vi en lettilgængelig introduktion til filosofiens hoveddiscipliner og -navne. Via korte og letlæste tekster suppleret med faktabokse om de store filosoffer og en række øvelser åbner Christian Horn filosofien for alle. I bogens 10 kapitler præsenteres en lang række af de mest kendte filosoffer på en måde, der forbinder filosofien med hverdagens erfaringer. Der stilles i forbindelse hermed også refleksionsspørgsmål, så du med afsæt i filosoffernes tanker selv kan tænke over hverdagens muligheder og udfordringer på nye måder. Bogen henvender sig til enhver, der ønsker at vide mere om historiens mest kendte filosoffer, og som er nysgerrig på, hvordan man kan bruge filosofien i hverdagen. For filosoffernes tanker kan forbindes med de emner, du fordyber dig i som studerende, praktiske problemstillinger inden for det fag, du arbejder med og med privatlivets forskellige forhold og udfordringer." I sin nye bog om de største filosoffer bringer Christian Horn stort set alle de væsentlige spørgsmål i øjenhøjde med læseren. Ud over at bogen gennemgår en række væsentlige tænkere – både gamle og nye – tager den fat i filosofiske grundtemaer som etik, liv, sprog og værdier, der er relevante for alle at forholde sig til – uanset om man er leder, medarbejder eller blot et nysgerrigt menneske. I filosofi er spørgsmålene typisk vigtigere end svarene, og Horns bog er især anbefalelses-værdig, fordi den hjælper læseren til at stille gode og erkendelsesudviklende spørgsmål." SVEND BRINKMANN

Nachdem das Antikendrama im 19. Jahrhundert nur eine untergeordnete Bedeutung besa , kommt es nach 1890 unter dem Eindruck von Nietzsches "Geburt der Trag die" erneut zu einer intensiven Besch ftigung mit Figurationen der griechischen Antike. Die vorliegende Studie unterzieht Antikendramen von Hofmannsthal, Hauptmann, Werfel, Pannwitz, Jahnn und Brecht einer struktur- und gattungsbezogenen Analyse, um die Verschiebungen des den Texten zugrundeliegenden Mythosverst ndnisses zu spezifizieren.
