Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe aim of this study is to reconstruct the representations of animal sexual behaviour in the ancient zoologies. To this end, we have defined a corpus of Greek and Latin texts, consisting of Aristotle's zoological treatises (mainly "History of Animals" and "Generation of Animals"), Varro's "On Agriculture", Columella's "On Agriculture", Pliny the Elder's "Natural History", Plutarch's treatises on animals (mainly "On the Cleverness of Animals" and "Whether Beasts Are Rational"), Elian's "On the Characteristics of Animals", Oppian of Cilicia's "Halieutica" and Oppian of Apamea's "Cynegetica". In Antiquity, animal sexuality was often presented as the expression of an original sexuality opposed to that of humans, which was described as morally and socially constructed or even perverted. Animals are invoked as a reference model, a 'touchstone', to measure human behaviours against a homogenous pattern that is considered to be intact. However, the sexual behaviour of animals is characterised by a considerable diversity, which is too poorly taken into account by this approach. Nonetheless, this diversity is well attested in ancient zoological texts. In our study, we wanted to go beyond the simplistic and idealised doxa of a naïve animal sexuality, by paying special attention to the particular and specific practices attested by passages which describe animals sexual behaviours as such and not just as a mirror of human sexuality. If we avoid these biases of interpretation, we can see that our sources attribute behaviours that are very often considered to be purely cultural and human to other animals, such as sexuality for recreational purposes.The first part of the thesis deals with reproduction. The different anatomical configurations linked to sexual differentiation and the different mating positions are considered here. This first part concludes with a theoretical section devoted to the question of the ideological use of animal sexuality in Antiquity. The passages highlighted here do not focus specifically on animals, but mention their sexuality as a source of exempla for humans. The second part, on the other hand, looks at all the sexual practices generally dismissed or denied by an ideological view of animal sexuality. Several passages depict non-human animals as desiring beings who can seek pleasure, in a dynamic reminiscent of the manifestations of human sexual desire and expressed in a common vocabulary. The texts cover a range of behaviours, from monogamy to homosexual practices, without excluding interspecific relationships, which can prove fertile. The third part deals with behaviours that the sources themselves present as excessive, first and foremost incest. In addition, certain sexual acts are associated with various forms of violence. Desire can also drive individuals to act against reproduction itself: this is the case with animals that try to free themselves from their offspring in order to mate. This reflection on animal sexuality has been enriched by an interdisciplinary approach combining literary criticism and philology with methodologies and reflections borrowed from anthropology, ethology, sexuality studies and Animal Studies

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleCette dissertation explore des phénomènes identitaires ayant cours à Tiwanaku, capitale urbaine et cosmopolitaine d'une ancienne unité politique andine, grâce à l'étude approfondie des pratiques culinaires domestiques associées au quartier non-élite de Mollo Kontu. Des recherches récentes sur la création et le maintien des relations socio-politiques à Tiwanaku insistent sur le rôle stratégique des festins communautaires dans l'intégration des résidents à l'intérieur d'une même identité étatique Tiwanaku, vaste et inclusive. Plus particulièrement, la consommation de bière de maïs (chicha) et l'utilisation de céramiques d'une grande qualité esthétique pour la production et la consommation de chicha sont vues comme jouant un rôle clé dans l'intégration consensuelle des résidents à l'intérieur d'un mode de vie Tiwanaku. Les résultats de mon étude des pratiques culinaires quotidiennes (à Mollo Kontu) indiquent toutefois que cette identité étatique Tiwanaku n'était pas universellement acceptée, contrairement à ce que les études antérieures suggéraient. Une analyse détaillée des restes fauniques provenant d'une sélection de contextes domestiques est présentée et combinée à des résultats obtenus à partir de vestiges céramiques, paléobotaniques, ichtyologiques et bioarchéologiques afin d'illustrer la chaîne opératoire des pratiques culinaires à Mollu Kontu. Je démontre que les résidents de ce quartier géraient leurs propres troupeaux de camélidés à des fins de production et de consommation, et ce indépendemment de l'état de Tiwanaku. Je soutiens que l'existence de ces troupeaux n'est pas qu'un épiphénomène résultant de la situation socioéconomique des résidents, mais bien le reflet d'une préférence culinaire partagée. La cuisine quotidienne de Mollo Kontu favorisait et mettait en valeur l'ingestion de ressources locales, notamment celle de camélidés domestiques, et contrastait en cela avec l'identité étatique Tiwanaku qui se manifestait par la consommation commensale de bière produite à partir de maïs, une ressource non-locale. Ceci suggère à la fois une indépendence face à l'état et le l'existence d'une identié locale associée aux hautes-terres et renforcée par l'ingestion de produits du terroir, dans un contexte urbain de plus en plus cosmopolitain. Sur la base de ces données, combinées à des résultats d'analyse isotopique démontrant que les résidents de Mollo Kontu consommaient très peu de maïs, je soutiens que ceux-ci n'adhéraient pas complétement au caractère multi-ethnique de l'état de Tiwanaku; dans leur vie quotidienne ils célébraient leurs racines locales par le biais de leurs pratiques culinaires.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelles Timaeus. The World Soul plays a crucial role in the account of the world of Becoming in the Timaeus and in Plato&rsquo
s philosophy of science. The World Soul explains why there is motion at all in the universe and sustains the regularity and uniformity of the motion of the celestial objects. Its constitution and the way it is generated by the Demiurge endow it an intermediary status between the world of Being and the world of Becoming. Through this status the World Soul facilitates the applicability of the items of the former world (Forms and Numbers) in the explanation of the latter, hence makes natural science possible. The appreciation of the place of the World Soul in the natural philosophy of Plato leads us to a better place to view Plato&rsquo
s contribution to ancient natural philosophy and science.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleFollowing the peaceful transition in 1994 from apartheid to democracy, and the political realignment of power from the Afrikaner minority to the Black majority, South Africa has been thrust into a social climate of radical and far reaching change. As one formerly advantaged group in the new dispensation, white Afrikaners are facing new and often bewildering challenges as they struggle to carve out an appropriate space for themselves in the new political ethos of non-racialism and equality for all. This study examines how a particular group of white Afrikaner men between the ages of 28-42 in the town of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape, are negotiating their way in post-apartheid South Africa.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis dissertation focuses on a little-explored system of freshwater wetlands in the northeastern Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. Previous archaeological research at one wetland in the Yalahau region found evidence for manipulation in the form of constructed rock alignments, which likely functioned as dikes and dams to control soil and water for food production. There are 175 wetlands in the Yalahau region, therefore the goal of the regional survey was to assess the extent of wetland manipulation, and correlate this manipulation with wetland environmental variables such as vegetation, topography, soil type, and flood regime. A sample of 25 wetlands was selected for survey. Fieldwork involved vegetation mapping, rock alignment mapping, plant collections, topographic transects, installation of water loggers, and extraction of soil cores. Using these data, I evaluate hypotheses regarding patterns in the distribution of alignments, chronology of wetland use, and relationship between developed wetlands and nearby ancient sites. My research shows that wetland manipulation with rock alignments was widespread in the Yalahau region, and that the Maya tended to build rock alignments in very particular physiographic contexts. This project provides a basis for future investigations into rock alignment function and how the Maya adapted to changing environmental conditions in the wetlands.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleYokem Mounds and its neighboring lower Illinois River valley sites were part of a dramatic cultural shift that occurred during the transition from the Late Woodland period (A.D. 400-1050) to the Mississippian period (A.D. 1050-1400) of Illinois prehistory. Evident changes in diet, burial treatment, and material culture accompanied this transition at Yokem Mounds. What remains unknown is whether the transition co-occurred with a population displacement by originators of the Mississippian culture, the Cahokians, or other Mississippian immigrants. My ancient DNA analysis of Yokem Mounds 1-5 tackled this question, as well as described other cultural behaviors in order to identify additional impacts of the Mississippian culture.
I typed the mitochondrial DNA of 21 Late Woodland and 23 Mississippian individuals and placed the results within the context of previous genetic studies of the lower Illinois River valley and other ancient Midwest populations. I determined that there was genetic continuity between the Late Woodland and Mississippian populations, both populations practiced patrilocal postmarital residence patterns, and neither had burial patterns organized by matrilines. The differences in maize consumption as determined by stable isotopic signatures amongst the Late Woodland population were not associated with matrilineal familial diet preference. The population genetic analysis identified genetic connections between Yokem Mounds and contemporaneous populations at Schild Cemetery, Orendorf, and Angel Mounds; but Yokem Mounds was significantly different from the Oneota population at Norris Farms #36. Additionally, Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex DNA was recovered from eleven individuals from Yokem Mounds and Schild Cemetery. Notably, two of these individuals date to the Middle Woodland period (100 B.C.-A.D. 400), which is the earliest identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA in the lower Illinois River valley. Overall, this research further expands our understanding of Native American prehistory and the demographic changes that occurred prior to European contact.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleCette thèse porte sur l'application d'une analyse spatial syntaxique sur l'architecture rituelle et domestique, avec focus sur l'état pré-Inka de Tiwanaku dans les hautes terres de l'Amérique du Sud. La tradition pan-Andine d'architecture cérémoniale connu sous le nom de Temple Semi-Souterrain est examinée avec une perspective herméneutique et quantitative. Pour tester la faisabilité des méthodes quantitatives explorées, des techniques de prospection topographiques et géophysiques ont été utilisées pour détecter et visualiser l'architecture rituelle et domestique enfouie dans une aire résidentielle non-élite de Tiwanaku, nommée Mollo Kontu. Le potentiel d'une méthodologie qui combine l'analyse spatiale géophysique à une analyse quantitative est ensuite jugé de façon critique à la lumière des résultats de prospection, et suggère ainsi le besoin d'ajouter une approche qualitative nuancée à l'analyse d'anciens environnements construits.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis is a dissertation about technology in both the past and present. In terms of the past, it is a study of ancient Maya lithic production practices at the site of San Bartolo, Guatemala. During the Preclassic (600 B.C.–A.D. 300) the inhabitants of San Bartolo developed a method for producing oval bifaces (i.e., celts) that was fairly unique within the Lowlands. It involved the collection of large quantities of unmodified nodular chert which were deposited in numerous small piles both within and along the bajo margins. Data resulting from typological and aggregate analyses of 36,497 pieces of lithic debitage were used in conjunction with a variety of other data sets to construct a chaîne opératoire for Preclassic oval biface production at San Bartolo. This data in and of itself is significant, as few detailed lithic studies have been published for sites in the Petén. Comparative data sets from Colha are employed to demonstrate that Preclassic flintknappers at the two sites approached oval biface production in significantly different ways. Perhaps more importantly this study demonstrates that the differential production strategies were the result of technological choice rather than environmental or material constraints. This leads to the other focus of this study—technology in the present. A significant portion of this dissertation is concerned with documenting the historical development of the social field of archaeological technology studies. I explore the issue of whether or not dominant themes within archaeological technology studies represent a form of ideological presentism, and the validity of privileging formalist economic models in the study of ancient Maya technological practice.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis is to explore the purpose of monster figures by investigating the relationship between these creatures and the cultures in which they are generated. It focuses specifically on the human-animal hybrid monsters in the mythology, literature and art of ancient Greece. It attempts to answer the question of the purpose of these monsters by looking specifically at the nature of manhorse monsters and the ways in which their dichotomous internal and external composition challenged the cultural taxonomy of ancient Greece. It also looks at the function of monsters in a ritual context and how the Theseus myth, as initiation myth, and the Minotaur, as hybrid monster, conforms to the expectations of ritual monsters. The investigation starts by considering the history and uses of the term “monster” in an attempt to arrive at a reasonable definition of monstrosity. In aid of this definition, attention is also given to themes that recur when considering monster beings. This provides a basis from which the hybrid monsters of ancient Greece, the centaur and Minotaur in particular, can be considered. The next section of the thesis looks into the attitudes to animals prevalent in ancient Greece. The cultural value of certain animal types and even certain body parts have to be taken account, and the degree to which these can be traced to the nature and actions of the hybrid monster has to be considered. The main argument is divided in two sections. The first deals with the centaur as challenger to Greek cultural taxonomy. The centaur serves as an eminent example of how human-animal hybrid monsters combine the familiar and the foreign, the Self and the Other into a single complex being. The nature of this monster is examined with special reference to the ways in which the centaur, as proponent of chaos and wilderness, stands in juxtaposition to the ideals of Greek civilisation. The second section consists of an enquiry into the purpose of the hybrid monster and considers the Minotaur’s role as a facilitator of transformation. The focus is directed towards the ritual function of monsters and the ways in which monsters aid change and renewal both in individuals and in communities. By considering the Theseus-myth and the role of the Minotaur in the coming-of-age of the Attic hero as well as the city of Athens itself, the ritual theory is given application in ancient Greece. The conclusion of this thesis is that hybrid monsters, as manifestations of the internal dichotomy of man and the tenuous relationship between order and chaos, played a critical role in the personal and communal definition of man in ancient Greece.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelstelling van hierdie tesis is om die sin van monsters te ondersoek deur te kyk na die verhouding wat bestaan tussen hierdie wesens en die gemeenskappe waarbinne hulle hul ontstaan het. Die tesis fokus spesifiek op die mens-dier hibriede monster in die mitologie, literatuur en kuns van antieke Griekeland. Dit probeer om tot ‘n slotsom te kom oor die bestaansrede van monsters deur te kyk na die aard van die man-perd monster. Hierdie wese se tweeledige samestelling – met betrekking tot beide sy interne en eksterne komposisie – het ‘n wesenlike bedreiging ingehou vir die kulturele taksonomie van die antieke Grieke. Die tesis kyk ook na die rol, van monsters in die konteks van rituele gebeure. Die mite van Theseus as ‘n mite met rituele verbintenisse, en die Minotaurus as hibriede monster, word dan oorweeg om te bepaal wat die ooreenstemming is met die verwagtinge wat daargestel is vir rituele monsters. Ten einde ‘n redelike definisie van monsteragtigheid daar te stel, begin die ondersoek deur oorweging te skenk aan die geskiedenis en die gebruike van die woord “monster”. Ter ondersteuning van hierdie definisie word daar ook aandag geskenk aan sekere temas wat herhaaldelik opduik wanneer monsters ter sprake kom. Dit skep ‘n basis vir die ondersoek na die hibriede monsters van antieke Griekeland, en meer spesifiek na die kentaurus en die Minotaurus. Die tesis oorweeg ook die houding van die antieke Griekse beskawing teenoor diere. Die kulturele waarde van sekere soorte diere, en selfs seker ledemate van diere, moet in ag geneem word wanneer die hibriede monsterfiguur behandel word. Aandag moet geskenk word aan die maniere waarop die assosiasies wat die Grieke met diere gehad het, oorgedra word na die aard en handelinge van die monsterfiguur. Die hoofargument van die tesis word in twee dele uiteengesit. Die eerste gedeelte behandel die kentaurus as uitdager van die kulturele taksonomie van die antieke Grieke. Die kentaurus dien as ‘n uitstekende voorbeeld van die manier waarop die mens-dier monster dit wat bekend is en dit wat vreemd is, die Self en die Ander, kombineer in een komplekse wese. Die aard van hierdie wese word ondersoek met spesifieke verwysing na die maniere waarop die kentaurus, as voorstander van die ongetemde en van chaos, in teenstelling staan teenoor die ideale van die Griekse beskawing. Die tweede gedeelte vors die doel van die hibriede monster na en oorweeg die Minotaurus se rol as bevorderaar van transformasie. Hier word gefokus op die rol van die monster in ’n rituele konteks en die maniere waarop monsters verandering en vernuwing teweegbring in enkelinge sowel as in gemeenskappe. Hierdie teorie word van toepassing gemaak op antieke Griekeland deur die mite van Theseus en die rol van die Minotaurus te oorweeg binne die konteks van die proses van inburgering wat beide die held en sy stad, Athene, ondergaan. Die gevolgtrekking van hierdie tesis is dat hibriede monsters, as uitbeeldings van die interne tweeledigheid van die mens sowel as van die tenger verband tussen orde en chaos in die wêreld, ‘n noodsaaklike rol gespeel het in die persoonlike en sosiale definisie van die individu in antieke Griekeland.
