Описание: This book analyses the latest trends in Indo-European studies, combining linguistic study with insights from archaeology, anthropology and archaeogenetics, in an attempt to shed new light on the social structure of the pastoralist society of Proto-Indo-European speakers. The book opens with a brief introduction on the benefits of approaching Indo-European studies from an anthropological angle. This is followed by nine chapters representing the two main thematic parts of the book: one on kinship terminology and family structure, and one on structures that function across and unite families, namely wooing and marriage. Part one includes a lengthy chapter which gives an overview of Proto-Indo-European terminology, as well as five chapters focusing on individual branches or languages: Anatolian, Avestan, Latin, Germanic and Albanian. Part two starts off with a chapter on how consanguinity affected marriage in various early Indo-European societies, followed by a chapter on Anatolian marriage and marriage types, and finally a chapter on what ancient sources, primarily from Greece, can tell us about processes and rites related to wooing. Together, these studies combine to form the first study of Indo-European family structure to draw on linguistics, archaeology and genetics, and the book is an important contribution to our understanding of how social and family structures developed in prehistoric and early historic times.

Описание:
Studies of sexuality in Caribbean culture are on the rise, focusing mainly on homosexuality and homophobia or on regional manifestations of normative and nonnormative sexualities. The Cross-Dressed Caribbean extends this exploration by using the trope of transvestism not only to analyze texts and contexts from anglophone, francophone, Spanish, Dutch, and diasporic Caribbean literature and film but also to highlight reinventions of sexuality and resistance to different forms of exploitation and oppression.

Описание: Forms, Formats and the Circulation of Knowledge explores the printscape – the mental mapping of knowledge in all its printed shapes – to chart the British networks of publishers, printers, copyright-holders, readers and authors. This transdisciplinary volume skilfully recovers innovations and practices in the book trade between 1688 and 1832. It investigates how print circulated information in a multitude of sizes and media, through an evolving framework of transactions. The authority of print is demonstrated by studies of prospectuses, blank forms, periodicals, pamphlets, globes, games and ephemera, uniquely gathered in eleven essays engaging in legal, economic, literary, and historical methodologies. The tight focus on material format reappraises a disorderly market accommodating a widening audience consumption.

Описание: Six heirlooms - a portrait, a table, a parure, a whiskey label, a set of books, and a building -- tell the stories of six branches of a family whose possessions lived through three centuries and eventually came together under one roof before dispersing again. These items have survived through generations and witnessed their owners as they evolved through history. In addition to the lives of their individual owners, the stories also cover certain historical and cultural figures, both American and French: slave traders and plantation owners, merchants and financiers of New York, whiskey distillers, Creoles of Louisiana, wreckers off the Florida Keys, drafters on Napoleon's mission to Egypt, French lawyers and politicians, World War II fighters, and CIA spies. The book pays homage to the heirlooms' past owners; it also examines the culture that surrounds families of wealth and status and the fierce struggle to retain these advantages through marriage ties. The stories pay homage to the heirlooms' past owners.
