Routledge SOLON Explorations in Crime and Criminal Justice Histories

This book examines the gendering of violence from the late 18th century onwards and reflects on the extent to which gender expectations have continued, into the 20th century at least, to shape criminal justice and its attitude towards violence.

This book employs critical theory to investigate the different worldviews involved in an engagement with indigenous normativities, and to suggest practical solutions for overcoming the systemic inequalities between Indigenous and non-indigenous cultures.

Studies in Roman Space and Urbanism

This is the first volume to bring together the fields of ancient religions, sensory studies and movement studies, with the objective of introducing sensory studies as a methodological approach to religion. The volume's main theme is human movement through physical space as it pertains to religious experience in the ancient world. Each chapter discusses a more specific treatment of this theme, such as pilgrimage towards a sacred place or some physicalised aspect of ancient religious ritual.

The volume’s main theme is human movement through physical space as it pertains to religious experience in the ancient world. Each chapter discusses a more specific treatment of this theme, such as pilgrimage towards a sacred place or some physicalised aspect of ancient ritual such as the aural and olfactory environment of festivals, funerals and weddings, or the relationship between Roman city walls and religious movement.Offering a substantial and innovative contribution to the burgeoning fields of sensory and spatial experience in the ancient world this volume will encourage further dialogue between otherwise disparate fields of research.

Cities of the Ancient World

Miletos, on the coast of Asia Minor, was one of the most important Greek cities ¿ a key economic power as well as a centre of philosophy and learning. Alan Greaves provides a survey of the origins and development of Miletos from prehistory to its medieval decline. He examines Miletos¿ famous archaic period, when it was at its most prosperous and influential, through an exploration of its landscape and its earliest origins. With fifty photographs, plans and drawings, and with an updated and expanded text and bibliography, this study is the essential guide to a major city of the ancient world.

Miletos, on the coast of Asia Minor, was one of the most important Greek cities – a key economic power as well as a centre of philosophy and learning. Yet with historical sources scarce, and the mass of archaeological work done in over a century of excavations not published in English, studying the city has not always been straightforward. Alan Greaves provides a survey of the origins and development of this crucial city from prehistory to its medieval decline. He examines Miletos’ famous archaic period, when it was at its most prosperous and influential, through an exploration of its landscape and its earliest origins. Archaeological evidence is accessibly presented throughout, and useful case-studies explore a wide range of issues including Miletos in the Bronze Age, Miletos’ archaic period colonisation, its economy, and the city as a centre of philosophy and learning. The text challenges past assumptions about the site and its archaeology, brought update date in this new edition. It develops the two key themes that run throughout the city’s history - its relationship to its landscape, and its role as a bridging point for cultural interaction between the Aegean, Anatolia, the Near East and the Black Sea. With fifty photographs, plans and drawings, and with an updated and expanded text and bibliography, this study is the essential guide to a major city of the ancient world.

A century ago, the greatest pandemic since the Black Death engulfed the world. From spring 1918, a deadly form of influenza rapidly developed and struck hundreds of millions of people. By spring 1919, it had left 50 million dead. This book charts the enduring legacies of that cataclysmic year and tells the story of what happened after 1918. Not only did the pandemic haunt the individual and collective memories of survivors, it became a touchstone for generations tasked with protecting the health of nations and the international community.

Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

This book explores textual and visual representations of breast milk and breastfeeding across a range of literary and artistic genres, beginning with Classical mythology, moving through late-antique and medieval gynaecological texts on wet nursing, and ending with late-medieval hagiographical and mystical literature. It argues that, while the act of breastfeeding and the fluid of breast milk were often categorized as natural and nourishing, their meanings, uses and risks were also debated, problematized, and used to serve specific cultural, political and textual purposes.

This book explores textual and visual representations of breast milk and breastfeeding across a range of literary and artistic genres, beginning with Classical mythology, moving through late-antique and medieval gynaecological texts on wet nursing, and ending with late-medieval hagiographical and mystical literature. It argues that, while the act of breastfeeding and the fluid of breast milk were often categorized as natural and nourishing, their meanings, uses and risks were also debated, problematized, and used to serve specific cultural, political and textual purposes.This volume traces how representations of breast milk were shaped by the shifting projects specific to particular textual and artistic genres, historical and cultural movements, and opinions, fears and desires about the female body, the role of women, and infancy. In this sense, it focuses on the semantic flexibility of breast milk by illustrating the variety of messages it was used to articulate. More broadly, the author explores common metaphors and fantasies about breast milk that coalesce from this broad inquiry – in particular, the construction of the female body as the container of a vacillating economy of fluids of great significance. Although Greco-Roman and medieval representations of breast milk prove this significance to be complex and often contradictory, the notion that this female body fluid had the power to effect profound changes – both psychological and physical – among those who provided it, consumed it, or even witnessed its exchange attests to its enduring value as a material and symbolic medium. This book will contribute significantly to women’s and gender studies and to the history of the body. It will also benefit students and scholars specializing in mythology, the history of medicine, the representation of women in classical and medieval art, early-Christian and medieval hagiography, medieval mysticism, and Marian studies.

From Greco-Roman Myth to Medieval Mysticism

The History and Culture of Breast Milk

This book convincingly argues that the early medieval kingdom of Northumbria existed as a single political entity with a shared culture. Sián Webb makes the case that, while the kingdom itself includes three major cultural regions with distinct identities, by studying the similarities and differences in material and artistic culture it can be demonstrated that these identities managed to exist in tandem and were taken up by communities and groups when necessary and convenient. Webb shines a light on how the individual regions possessed different histories that helped shape how the people and communities expressed the shared Northumbrian identity.

Focusing on the period from 600 CE to 867 CE, Material Culture, Communities and Identity in Early Medieval Northumbria builds upon the developing tradition of research into layered identities and group culture established in various academic disciplines. The purpose here is to consider the different identities and cultural differences that developed in different regions and among different hierarchical communities from those in power to the less influential, though no less interesting or important, individuals whose work both allowed their communities to function and helped drive, adapt and spread new cultural traditions. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book broadens the view of early medieval Northumbria beyond the high-status settlements and people and, where possible, uses material culture and archaeological sources to include texture of non-elite identities within the kingdom.

Material Culture, Communities and Identity in Early Medieval Northumbria, 600-867 CE

Taking the period from the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923 to the present day, this book examines Turkey's political trajectory, its economic developments and downturns and its positioning in the international arena. Breaking away from the Cold War paradigm and its focus on military coups and international security as well as approaches to Turkey which over emphasise the Ottoman past, this book also engages with cultural and social aspects of the period. Following a clear chronology, the book charts the rise of the Turkish nation-state, Turkey in the Second World War, the beginning of multi-party politics, the political plurality of the 1960s, the upheavals of the 1970s, the neo-liberal politics of the 1980s, the crumbling of the 1990s and the religious politics and presidentialism of the 2000s. Each period is divided into three sections and each chapter is accompanied by boxes inserted into the text which provide more extensive information on one particular aspect, such as cinema, political satire and social media. The book takes readers through the period providing both a clear chronological structure and an understanding of each period both from the perspective of its political and economic development and its cultural and social concerns.
