OverviewGiven that strong asymmetrical dependencies have shaped human societies throughout history, this kind of social relation has also left its traces in many types of texts. Using written and oral narratives in attempts to reconstruct the history of asymmetrical dependency comes along with various methodological challenges, as the 15 articles in this interdisciplinary volume illustrate. They focus on a wide range of different (factual and fictional) text types, including inscriptions from Egyptian tombs, biblical stories, novels from antiquity, the Middle High German Rolandslied, Ottoman court records, captivity narratives, travelogues, the American gift book The Liberty Bell, and oral narratives by Caribbean Hindu women. Most of the texts discussed in this volume have so far received comparatively little attention in slavery and dependency studies. The volume thus also seeks to broaden the archive of texts that are deemed relevant in research on the histories of asymmetrical dependencies, bringing together perspectives from disciplines such as Egyptology, theology, literary studies, history, and anthropology Full Product DetailsAuthor: Elke Br�ggen , Marion GymnichPublisher: De Gruyter Imprint: De Gruyter Volume: 11 Dimensions: Width: 17.00cm , Height: 2.20cm , Length: 24.40cm Weight: 0.798kg ISBN: 9783111379807ISBN 10: 3111379809 Pages: 374 Publication Date: 20 May 2024 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Not yet available This item is yet to be released.
