Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c.1000 c.1250

Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c.1000 c.1250

This book is the first to compare Denmark and Portugal systematically in the High Middle Ages and demonstrates how the two countries became strong kingdoms and important powers internationally by their participation in the crusading movement. Communication in the Middle Ages was better developed than often assumed and institutions ideas and military technology was exchanged rapidly meaning it was possible to coordinate great military expeditions across the geographical periphery of Western Europe. Both Denmark and Portugal were closely connected to the sea and developed strong fleets at the entrance to the Baltic and in the Mediterranean Seas respectively. They also both had religious borders to the pagan Wends and to the Muslims that were pushed forward in almost continuous crusades throughout the centuries. Crusading at the Edges of Europe follows the major campaigns of the kings and crusaders in Denmark and Portugal and compares war-technology and crusading ideology highlighting how the countries learned from each other and became organised for war. | Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c. 1000 � c. 1250

C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept Theory Research and Applications

C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept Theory Research and Applications

The concept of archetypes is at the core of C. G. Jung’s analytical psychology. In this interesting and accessible volume Roesler summarises the classical theory of archetypes and the archetypal stages of the individuation process as it was developed by Jung and his students. Various applications of archetypes in cultural studies as well as in clinical practice are demonstrated with detailed case studies dream series myths fairy tales and so on. The book also explores how the concept has further developed as a result of research and for the first time integrates findings from anthropology human genetics and the neurosciences. Based on these contemporary insights Roesler also makes a compelling argument for why some of Jung’s views on the concept should be comprehensively revised. Offering new insights on foundational Jungian topics like the collective unconscious persona and shadow C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept is of great interest to Jungian students analysts psychotherapists and scholars. | C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept Theory Research and Applications

Kabbalistic Visions C. G. Jung and Jewish Mysticism

Kabbalistic Visions C. G. Jung and Jewish Mysticism

In 1944 C. G. Jung experienced a series of visions which he later described as the most tremendous things I have ever experienced. Central to these visions was the mystic marriage as it appears in the Kabbalistic tradition and Jung’s experience of himself as Rabbi Simon ben Jochai the presumed author of the sacred Kabbalistic text the Zohar. Kabbalistic Visions explores Jung’s 1944 Kabbalistic visions the impact of Jewish mysticism on Jungian psychology Jung’s archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism and his claim late in life that a Hasidic rabbi the Maggid of Mezhirech anticipated his entire psychology. This book places Jung’s encounter with the Kabbalah in the context of the earlier visions and meditations of his Red Book his abiding interests in Gnosticism and alchemy and what many regard to be his Anti-Semitism and flirtation with National Socialism. Kabbalistic Visions is the first full-length study of Jung and Jewish mysticism in any language and the first book to present a comprehensive Jungian/archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism. | Kabbalistic Visions C.

The Nasirean Ethics (RLE Iran C)

The Nasirean Ethics (RLE Iran C)

The Nasirean Ethics is the best known ethical digest to be composed in medieval Persia if not in all mediaeval Islam. It appeared initially in 633/1235 when Tūsī was already a celebrated scholar scientist politico-religious propagandist. The work has a special significance as being composed by an outstanding figure at a crucial time in the history he was himself helping to shape: some twenty years later Tūsī was to cross the greatest psychological watershed in Islamic civilization playing a leading part in the capture of Baghdad and the extinction of the generally acknowledged Caliphate there. In this work the author is primarily concerned with the criteria of human behaviour: first in terms of space and priority allotted at the individual level secondly at the economic level and thirdly at the political level. | The Nasirean Ethics (RLE Iran C)

Diplomatic Cultures at the Ottoman Court c.1500–1630

Diplomatic Cultures at the Ottoman Court c.1500–1630

In the sixteenth century the Ottoman court in Constantinople emerged as the axial centre of early modern diplomacy in Eurasia. Diplomatic Cultures at the Ottoman Court c. 1500-1630 takes a unique approach to diplomatic relations by focusing on how diplomacy was conducted and diplomatic cultures forged at a single court: the Sublime Porte. It unites studies from the perspectives of European and non-European diplomats with analyses from the perspective of Ottoman officials involved in diplomatic practices. It focuses on a formative period for diplomatic procedure and Ottoman imperial culture by examining the introduction of resident embassies on the one hand and on the other changes in Ottoman policy and protocol that resulted from the territorial expansion and cultural transformations of the empire in the sixteenth century. The chapters in this volume approach the practices and processes of diplomacy at the Ottoman court with special attention to ceremonial protocol diplomatic sociability gift-giving cultural exchange information gathering and the role of para-diplomatic actors. | Diplomatic Cultures at the Ottoman Court c. 1500–1630

Germs in the English Workplace c.1880–1945

Germs in the English Workplace c.1880–1945

This book looks at how the workplace was transformed through a greater awareness of the roles that germs played in English working lives from c. 1880 to 1945. Cutting across a diverse array of occupational settings – such as the domestic kitchen the milking shed the factory and the Post Office – it offers new perspectives on the history of the germ sciences. It brings to light the ways in which germ scientists sought to transform English working lives through new types of technical and educational interventions that sought to both eradicate and instrumentalise germs. It then asks how we can measure and judge the success of such interventions by tracing how workers responded to the potential applications of the germ sciences through their participation in friendly societies trade unions colleges and volunteer organisations. Throughout the book close attention is paid to reconstructing vernacular traditions of working with invisible life in order to better understand both the successes and failures of the germ sciences to transform the working practices and material conditions of different workplaces. The result is a more diverse history of the peoples politics and practices that went into shaping the germ sciences in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century England. | Germs in the English Workplace c. 1880–1945

The Creationist Writings of Byron C. Nelson

The Creationist Writings of Byron C. Nelson

Originally published in 1995 this is the fifth volume in the series Creationism in 20th Century America. It re-publishes After Its Kind – a critique on theories of biological evolution and a defense of the biblical account of creation which Nelson wrote when he was a Pastor in New Jersey where he also attended classes in genetics and zoology at Rutgers university.

Micro-geographies of the Western City c.1750–1900

Micro-geographies of the Western City c.1750–1900

This book examines the overlapping spaces in modern Western cities to explore the small-scale processes that shaped these cities between c. 1750 and 1900. It highlights the ways in which time and space matter framing individual actions and practices and their impact on larger urban processes. It draws on the original and detailed studies of cities in Europe and North America through a micro-geographical approach to unravel urban practices experiences and representations at three different scales: the dwelling the street and the neighbourhood. Part I explores the changing spatiality of housing examining the complex and contingent relationship between public and private and commercial and domestic as well as the relationship between representations and lived experiences. Part II delves into the street as a thoroughfare connecting the city but also as a site of contestation over the control and character of urban spaces. Part III draws attention to the neighbourhood as a residential grouping and as a series of spaces connecting flows of people integrating the urban space. Drawing on a range of methodologies from space syntax and axial analysis to detailed descriptions of individual buildings this book blends spatial theory and ideas of place with micro-history. With its fresh perspectives on the Western city created through the built environment and the everyday actions of city dwellers the book will interest historical geographers urban historians and architects involved in planning of cities across Europe and North America. | Micro-geographies of the Western City c. 1750–1900

Godfrey of Bouillon Duke of Lower Lotharingia Ruler of Latin Jerusalem c.1060-1100

This book offers a new appraisal of the ancestry and career of Godfrey of Bouillon (c. 1060-1100) a leading participant in the First Crusade (1096-99) and the first ruler of Latin Jerusalem (1099-1100) the polity established by the crusaders after they captured the Holy City. While previous studies of Godfrey’s life have tended to focus on his career from the point at which he joined the crusade this book adopts a more holistic approach situating his involvement in the expedition in the light of the careers of his ancestors and his own activities in Lotharingia the westernmost part of the kingdom of Germany. The findings of this enquiry shed new light on the repercussions of a range of critical developments in Latin Christendom in the eleventh and early twelfth centuries including the impact of the ‘Investiture Conflict’ in Lotharingia the response to the call for the First Crusade in Germany Godfrey’s influence upon the course of the crusade his role in its leadership and his activities during the initial phases of Latin settlement in the Holy Land in its aftermath. | Godfrey of Bouillon Duke of Lower Lotharingia Ruler of Latin Jerusalem c. 1060-1100

Clerical Celibacy in the West: c.1100-1700

Clerical Celibacy in the West: c.1100-1700

The debate over clerical celibacy and marriage had its origins in the early Christian centuries and is still very much alive in the modern church. The content and form of controversy have remained remarkably consistent but each era has selected and shaped the sources that underpin its narrative and imbued an ancient issue with an immediacy and relevance. The basic question of whether and why continence should be demanded of those who serve at the altar has never gone away but the implications of that question and of the answers given have changed with each generation. In this reassessment of the history of sacerdotal celibacy Helen Parish examines the emergence and evolution of the celibate priesthood in the Latin church and the challenges posed to this model of the ministry in the era of the Protestant Reformation. Celibacy was and is intensely personal but also polemical institutional and historical. Clerical celibacy acquired theological moral and confessional meanings in the writings of its critics and defenders and its place in the life of the church continues to be defined in relation to broader debates over Scripture apostolic tradition ecclesiastical history and papal authority. Highlighting continuity and change in attitudes to priestly celibacy Helen Parish reveals that the implications of celibacy and marriage for the priesthood reach deep into the history traditions and understanding of the church. | Clerical Celibacy in the West: c. 1100-1700

Gendered Perceptions of Florentine Last Supper Frescoes c. 1350–1490

Gendered Perceptions of Florentine Last Supper Frescoes c. 1350–1490

Despite the large number of monumental Last Supper frescoes which adorn refectories in Quattrocento Florence until now no monograph has appeared in English on the Florentine Last Supper frescoes nor has any study examined the perceptions of the original viewers. This study examines the rarely considered effect of gender on the profoundly contextualized perceptions of the male and female religious who viewed the Florentine Last Supper images in surprisingly different physical and cultural refectory environments. In addition to offering detailed visual analyses the author draws on a broad spectrum of published and unpublished primary materials including monastic rules devotional tracts and reading materials the constitutions and ordinazioni for individual houses inventories from male and female communities and the Convent Suppression documents of the Archivio di Stato in Florence. By examining the original viewers’ attitudes to images their educational status acculturated pieties affective responses levels of community degrees of reclusion and even the types of food eaten in the refectories Hiller argues that the perceptions of these viewers of the Last Supper frescoes were intrinsically gendered. | Gendered Perceptions of Florentine Last Supper Frescoes c. 1350–1490

C. G. Jung and the Alchemical Imagination Passages into the Mysteries of Psyche and Soul

C. G. Jung and the Alchemical Imagination Passages into the Mysteries of Psyche and Soul

Winner of the 2021 American Board & Academy of Psychoanalysis Annual Book Prize for Best Theoretical Book in Psychoanalysis! Stanton Marlan brings together writings which span the course of his career examining Jungian psychology and the alchemical imagination as an opening to the mysteries of psyche and soul. Several chapters describe a telos that aims at the mysterious goal of the Philosophers’ Stone a move replete with classical and postmodern ideas catalysed by prompts from the unconscious: dreams images fantasies and paradoxical conundrums. Psyche and matter are seen with regards to soul light and darkness in terms of illumination and order and chaos as linked in the image of chaosmos. Marlan explores the richness of the alchemical ideas of Carl Jung James Hillman and others and their value for a revisioning of psychology. In doing so this volume challenges any tendency to literalism and essentialism and contributes to an integration between Jung’s classical vision of a psychology of alchemy and Hillman’s Alchemical Psychology. C. G. Jung and the Alchemical Imagination will be a valuable resource for academics scholars and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies Jungian analysis and psychotherapy. It will also be of great interest to Jungian psychologists and Jungian analysts in practice and in training. | C. G.

Iconophilia Politics Religion Preaching and the Use of Images in Rome c.680 - 880

Iconophilia Politics Religion Preaching and the Use of Images in Rome c.680 - 880

Between the late seventh and the mid-ninth centuries a debate about sacred images – conventionally addressed as ‘Byzantine iconoclasm’ – engaged monks emperors and popes in the Mediterranean area and on the European continent. The importance of this debate cannot be overstated; it challenged the relation between image text and belief. A series of popes staunchly in favour of sacred images acted consistently during this period in displaying a remarkable iconophilia or ‘love for images’. Their multifaceted reaction involved not only council resolutions and diplomatic exchanges but also public religious festivals liturgy preaching and visual arts – the mass-media of the time. Embracing these tools the popes especially promoted themes related to the Incarnation of God – which justified the production and veneration of sacred images – and extolled the role and the figure of the Virgin Mary. Despite their profound influence over Byzantine and western cultures of later centuries the political theological and artistic interactions between the East and the West during this period have not yet been investigated in studies combining textual and material evidence. By drawing evidence from texts and material culture – some of which have yet to be discussed against the background of the iconoclastic controversy – and by considering the role of oral exchange Iconophilia assesses the impact of the debate on sacred images and of coeval theological controversies in Rome and central Italy. By looking at intersecting textual liturgical and pictorial images which had at their core the Incarnate God and his human mother Mary the book demonstrates that between c. 680–880 by unremittingly maintaining the importance of the visual for nurturing beliefs and mediating personal and communal salvation the popes ensured that the status of sacred images would remain unchallenged at least until the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century. | Iconophilia Politics Religion Preaching and the Use of Images in Rome c. 680 - 880

The Development of Marketing Management The Case of the USA c. 1910-1940

There has been much discussion about the origin of marketing and marketing thought and whether it was truly American in origin. Nevertheless it is true that US marketing management thought was very influential throughout the world in the latter half of the twentieth century becoming dominant after the Second World War. In order to recognize why and how this kind of thought developed in the USA it is necessary to explore the historical contexts in which the marketing management thought was produced and developed at this time as well as the contents of the thought. This work argues that while doubts about the US origin of marketing are acceptable marketing management thought which especially appeals to mass producers such as the USA developed according to their particular needs. This book looks at the relationship between theories of marketing and the historical context in which they were developed rescuing them from later generalizations that failed to take into account contemporary social and economic factors. | The Development of Marketing Management The Case of the USA c. 1910-1940
