Az év könyvei

Az év utolsó napján mindig kiválasztok három könyvet, az év legfontosabb publikációinak személyes listáját. A kritériumok a szokásosak:

1. Ókori keletes kötet (tehát nem tanulmány).

2. Tartalmilag kiemelkedő és általános érvényű legyen.

3. Összesen három darab legyen.

Ebben az évben betartottam azt a feltételt is, hogy a konferencia-köteteket és az ünnepi köteteket a hullámzó színvonal miatt figyelmen kívül hagyom.

Az összeállítás természetesen, mint mindig, szubjektív, hiszen ez a számomra kiemelkedő munkák listája, értelemszerűen nem fogok tudni egyiptológiai munkákat méltatni. A hettitológai szakirodalom hihetetlenül nő, s a színvonalra sem lehet panasz, így ebben az évben elég egyoldalú lett a listám és még a hármasszabályt sem sikerült betartanom. Íme:

1. Metin Alparslan - Meltem Dogan-Alparslan (szerk.): Hittites. An Anatolian Empire. Hititler. Bir Anadolu İmparatorluğu. İstanbul, Yapı Kredi Yayınları

Noha az embernek néha az az érzése, hogy egy kissé túl sok hettitológiai bevezető jelent már meg, voltaképp a legtöbbjük foghíjas, hiszen nem kezelik egységként a filológiai és régészeti kutatásokat, így nem adnak teljes képet a hettitákról. Jelen kötet ebbe az irányba tett hatalmas lépést, kiváló szerzőgárdával, naprakész eredményekkel, igényes kiállításban és még a művelt nagyközönség számára is érthető módon.

2. N. Marchetti (ed.): Karkemish. An Ancient Capital on the Euphrates. OrientLab 2. Bologna

Karkemis az ókori Kelet legfontosabb városai közé tartozik, mégsem állt rendelkezésre hozzá egy jó bevezető munka, így a jelenlegi ásatások vezetője szerkesztésében megjelent áttekintés - amely ráadásul szabadon letölthető - valódi hiányt tölt be, a legmagasabb színvonalon.

3. Megosztott helyezés:

Anna H. Bauer: Morphosyntax of the Noun Phrase in Hieroglyphic Luwian. Brill's Studies in Indo-European Languages & Linguistics. Leiden

Alwin Kloekhorst: Accent in Hittite. A Study in Plene Spelling, Consonant Gradation, Clitics, and Metrics. StBoT 56. Wiesbaden

Bár e két könyvre első pillantásra nehezen lehetne ráfogni, hogy általános érvényűek, nem szabad elfeledni, hogy egy szöveg megértésének első lépcsőfoka a grammatikailag pontos elemzés és e két munka sokat lendít e téren a luvi és a hettita nyelv tekintetében. Bauer munkája jelzi továbbá, hogy ma már a luvi filológiai stúdiumok is elértek abba a stádiumba, amikor meg lehet és meg is kell effajta kérdéseket vitatni, hiszen még mindig nincsen részletes luvi nyelvtanunk. Kloekhorst munkája pedig hatalmas segítség minden hettita filológusnak, hiszen a problémák közismerten ott kezdődnek, hogy milyen alakot írjunk a szótárfüzetbe és hogyan találjunk meg egy szót a hettita szótárakban.

Programmes for past conferences can be found at: http://oxfordassyriology.wordpress.com

This two-day conference will be held at Wolfson College, Oxford from Friday afternoon, 24 April to Saturday evening, 25 April, 2015. The conference is pleased to announce two invited senior talks, given by Dr. Frances Reynolds (Oxford University) and Dr. Nicholas Postgate (Cambridge University).

There is a conference fee of £12 that goes towards hospitality costs and allows us to continue awarding student grants for attendance. The fee is subsidized and the costs of the conference met by our generous financial supporters. Refreshments between sessions, lunch, wine reception and a dinner are included.

Space permits a limited number of people, chosen on a first come basis, and registration is now open at:

http://www.oxforduniversitystores.co.uk/browse/searchresults.asp

Our call for papers has a submission deadline of February 25th, 2015 (emailopca@orinst.ox.ac.uk.) Successful papers are allotted 20 minutes followed by questions.

BURSARY AWARDS:
We will be awarding travel and accommodation bursaries for participants on a competitive basis. In order to be considered for a bursary, you must include your CV and an abstract of your paper in application toopca@orinst.ox.ac.uk by February 25th, 2015. Bursaries will be chosen by an independent selection committee consisting of Dr. Mark Weeden (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London), Dr. Jacob Dahl (Oriental Institute, Oxford) and Dr. Magnus Widell (University of Liverpool).

Call for Papers: Demon Things

Demon Things: Ancient Egyptian Manifestations of Liminal Entities, 21-24 March, 2016 at Swansea University and The Egypt Centre, Wales, UK

This international conference explores the range and variation of liminal entities the Ancient Egyptians believed capable of harm and help from the Predynastic through the Coptic periods. While previous demonological conferences focussed on issues related to definitions, we invite scholars to discuss the
manifestations of demons through iconography, objects, or textual descriptions. Scholars are encouraged to present their findings in the hopes that the conference will provide a creative venue for spotting links and patterns. By converging different areas of research a fuller picture of these multi-faceted entities may emerge.

“Disasters & Catastrophes: Navigating Periods of Crisis and Transition in Anatolia, the Mediterranean and the Near East”

Koç University Archaeology & History of Art Graduate Research Symposium

Koç University’s department of Archaeology and History of Art (ARHA) is pleased to announce “Disasters & Catastrophes: Navigating Periods of Crisis and Transition in Anatolia, the Mediterranean and Near East,” its third annual Graduate Student Research Symposium, on April 25, 2015 in Istanbul, Turkey.

As archaeologists, historians, and cultural heritage scholars, we look to historical moments of catastrophe as signifiers of radical change, with periods of transition marking the complicated and intersecting evolution of cultural, political, religious and environmental influence over time.  Such events shape current topographies, mould collective memories and in some cases inform regional and national identities. In these pivotal periods of instability, exigency, and crisis followed by aftermath and recovery, we can learn much about the dynamics of societies and the range of historical factors underpinning them.

This symposium seeks to encourage a diverse range of perspectives and disciplines concerned with a span of subjects, areas and periods of research as they relate to the topic of disaster and crisis, both natural and human-instigated. 

Students of archaeology, art history, history, cultural heritage, and museum studies may present research related to Anatolia and its neighboring regions, including the Mediterranean, Aegean, the Levant and the Ancient Near East, from the earliest prehistory through Bronze and Iron Ages, Classical, Byzantine, Ottoman periods and into the contemporary. 

Subjects could include (but are not limited to): climate change, civilization collapse, war, drought/famine, natural disasters like earthquakes & volcano eruptions, fire, urban crises or transformations, political upheaval, civil unrest, disaster preparedness in heritage, etc., as well as periods of transition and recovery. 

All graduate students are encouraged to apply, including:

Masters students

PhD students at any stage

Post-docs

Applicants should submit a 250-word abstract by January 23rd, 2015 to arhasymposium@gmail.com
