446,95 kr. The main ambition of this book lies in a detailed analysis of the formation and enforcement of Nepal¿s Muluk¿ Ain of 1854, specifically focusing on the provisions regarding homicide within the Muluk¿ Ains of 1854 and 1870. This study also examines contemporaneous legal records, revealing the complexities of the Ain¿s implementation. The articles on homicide serve as a microcosm illustrating the broader evolution of Nepal¿s legal code, which departed from outdated punishments like genital mutilation and introduced fines and imprisonment instead. Still, the innovations introduced into the Ain of 1854 were not uniformly progressive. The Ain in its various stages of development thus showcases the complex ways in which legal systems inevitably undergo transformation.

They shape emerging formats, from neighborhood arts projects to largescale biennials. In their practice, the artists challenge established notions of art as well as hegemonic circumscriptions of locality. This book results from a long-term engagement with artists in Nepal and Bangladesh and follows an actor-centered approach to unravel notions of contemporaneity and collectivity. Its focus on collaborative art practices together with its multi-scalar and translocal perspective urges us to rethink the use of terms such as the city, the region or the global that often transport hierarchies.

1.533,95 kr. This groundbreaking publication offers a unique resource of information about one of the most glorious and diverse musical cultures of the Himalayas. The numerous drum traditions of Bhaktapur in the Kathmandu Valley are a vibrant aspect of traditional Newar culture that saw its heyday between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries. The three Malla kingdoms of Bhaktapur, Lalitpur and Kathmandu competed in art, architecture, music, dance and opulent town rituals celebrating the presence of the gods. Music served as a portal between the human world and the realm of the gods. This study documents the role and repertoires of the different percussion genres in a transcribed and commented form for practical use and as a teaching aid. It also includes a dictionary of Newari terms related to music. As it focuses on the musical life of Bhaktapur during the decade starting from 1983, it could serve as a point of reference for comparison with the present situation. This publication is an outstanding contribution to the preservation of Newar culture. DE

413,95 kr. The ¿Seven Sages of Rome¿ was one of the most widely distributed story matters of premodernity. It was transmitted in at least 30 languages from Arabic to Russian across Asia, Europe and the Middle and Near East from the 11th to the 19th centuries. Nevertheless, this tradition is still little known and rarely researched in Mediaeval Studies. This special issue proposes that the ¿Seven Sages of Rome¿ is ripe for rediscovery, and for bringing together and giving new perspectives on current and interdisciplinary approaches in Mediaeval and Early Modern Studies. This includes transmission studies, intersectional analysis and global approaches to literary history.

The series ¿Russia and the Asia-Pacific¿ explores political, economic, social, cultural and environmental interactions of the Russian Far East within its Asian-Pacific context as well as with the Russian capital in the past and present. Its first volume addresses from a multidisciplinary perspective notably the following questions: How were and are directives from a centre thousands of kilometers away perceived and implemented by actors in this region? To which extent was and is the centre successful or how did or does it fail in integrating a region as far away from the centre as the Russian Far East in its state structures? How have notions of ¿centre¿ and ¿periphery¿ changed over time?

To highlight the importance of this genre, this volume outlines and explores current and future research trajectories with a focus on Latin travel literature from c. 1200¿1500. Combining digital, codicological, literary, philological, and anthropological approaches the volume analyses the ways in which these texts were produced, distributed, received, read, and how they can be interpreted. It argues for the importance of re-evaluating these texts and revisiting their contents in light of new methodological and theoretical approaches.

1.198,95 kr. Die lange Geschichte der Kosmologie mündete nicht einfach in der Spezialdisziplin der physikalischen Lehre vom Universum. Vielmehr ist die Gegenwart von einer ¿kosmologischen Unruhe¿ gekennzeichnet, welche anzeigt, dass heute zentrale Fragen nach der Welt und unserer Stellung in der Welt neue Antworten verlangen. Ein Blick in die Geschichte und Vielfalt der Kosmologie zeigt eine ¿Ausdrucksform¿, die sich nicht auf die Funktion des Weltbildes beschränkt, sondern viele andere Zwecke verfolgen kann und sich auf komplizierte Weise in die intellektuellen, theoretischen, aber auch politischen, ethischen und praktischen Kontexte ihrer Zeit einschreibt. Der vorliegende Band zeichnet dies in vielen Fallstudien nach, die von der Vorgeschichte bis zur heutigen Erdsystemwissenschaft reichen. DE

Based on this fact, the present volume asks for the ¿rst time about the signi¿cance of drawing and drawing education in other cultural areas. Indigenous methods of drawing and sign-learning in Arabic, Asian, Latin American, North American and European countries are addressed as well as historical transfer processes of didactic methods, aesthetic norms and educational institutions of drawing instruction.

In recent years, the availability of large annotated corpora, together with a new interest in the empirical foundation and validation of linguistic theory and description, has sparked a surge of novel work using corpus methods to study the grammar of natural languages. This volume presents recent developments and advances, firstly, in corpus-oriented grammar research with a special focus on Germanic, Slavic, and Romance languages and, secondly, in corpus linguistic methodology as well as the application of corpus methods to grammar-related fields. The volume results from the sixth international conference "Grammar and Corpora 2016" (GaC 2016), which took place at the Institute for the German Language (IDS) in Mannheim, Germany, in November 2016. The editors of this volume are researchers at the IDS and were organisers of "Grammar and Corpora 20162.

Characterised by the multiplicity and diversity of research and methodology, the European tradition of Semitic linguistics has always supported fieldwork and highly valued the data obtained in this way as it allows to create an interesting dynamic for linguistic studies itself. In the spirit of this tradition and to uphold it, the present book is a collection of articles based on data gathered primarily during field research expeditions. The volume is divided into two parts¿Studies on various specific linguistic issues and Texts containing previously unpublished transcriptions of audio recordings in Arabic dialects, Maltese and Jibbali/Shehret.

968,95 kr. The Muluk¿ Ain of 1854¿the law code with constitutional features drafted at the initiative of Prime Minister Jäga Bah¿dura R¿¿¿¿is the foundational legal text for modern Nepal. It covers almost every aspect of public, criminal, private and religious law, ranging from the organisation of the state and courts to murder and other delicts, the workings of the caste system and the joint family, matters of purity and penance, customary law, widow-burning and witchcraft. As such, the Muluk¿ Ain is a unique source not only for the political, social and economic life of 19th-century Nepal, but also for the place of traditional Hindu jurisprudence in South Asian legal cultures. Der Muluk¿ Ain von 1854, das erste Gesetzbuch Nepals, gehört zu den bedeutendsten Werken der modernen nepalesischen Rechtsgeschichte. Vom Staatsaufbau und Gerichtswesen über Tötungs- und Eigentumsdelikte bis hin zu Kasten- und Reinheitsvorschriften werden nahezu alle Aspekte des Straf- und Privatrechts, des öffentlichen, religiösen und Gewohnheitsrechts eingehend behandelt. Dadurch ist der Muluk¿ Ain nicht nur eine einzigartige Quelle für das politische, gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Leben in Nepal zur Zeit des 19. Jahrhunderts, sondern auch für die Stellung der hinduistischen Jurisprudenz in den Rechtskulturen Südasiens DE

423,95 kr. As linguistic systems comprising a large variety of written and oral registers including derivate ¿languages¿ and ¿dialects,¿ Latin and Arabic have been of paramount importance for the history of the Euromediterranean since Antiquity. Moreover, due to their long-term function as languages of administration, intellectual activity, and religion, they are often regarded as cultural markers of Europe and the (Arabic-)Islamic sphere respectively. This volume explores the many dimensions and ramifications of Latin-Arabic entanglement both from macro-historical as well as from micro-historical perspectives. Visions of history marked by the binary opposition of ¿Islam¿ and ¿the West¿ tend to ignore these important facets of Euromediterranean entanglement, as do historical studies that explain complex transcultural processes without giving attention to their linguistic dimension.
