Full text

Abstract:

The primary aim of this thesis is the reconstruction of a development in the history of the philosophy of language, namely an understanding of hieroglyphic Egyptian as a language uniquely adapted to the purposes and concerns of late Platonist metaphysics. There are three main reasons for this particular focus. First, the primary interest of philological criticism has emphasized the apparent shortcomings of the classical hieroglyphic tradition in light of the success of the modern decipherment endeavour. Though the Greek authors recognize a number of philologically distinctive features, they are primarily interested in contrasting hieroglyphic and Greek semantics. The latter is capable of discursive elaboration of the sapiential content to which the former is non-discursively adapted. Second, the sole surviving, fully extant essay in the exegesis of Egyptian hieroglyphs, the Hieroglyphica of Horapollo can be situated within the broader philosophical project in which the Neoplatonic commentators were engaged. As such, it draws on elements of the distinct traditions of Greek reception of Egyptian wisdom, 4th/5th century pagan revivalism under Christian persecution, and late Platonist logico-metaphysical methodological principles. Third, the rationale for Neoplatonic use of allegorical interpretation as an exegetical tool is founded on the methodological principle of ‘analytic ascent’ from the phenomena depicted, through the concepts under which they fall, to their intelligible causes. These three stages in the ascent correspond to the three modes of expression of which, according to Greek exegetes, hieroglyphic Egyptian, as composites of material images and intelligible content, is capable. Horapollo’s Hieroglyphica, I argue, maintains a tripartite distinction between linguistic expressions, their meanings, and the objects or name-bearers which they depict and further aligns that distinction with three modes of hieroglyphic expression: representative, semantic, and symbolic. I conclude, therefore, that a procedure of analytic explanatory ascent from empirical observation through discursive reason to metaphysical or cosmological insights is employed in the exegesis of the sapiential content of the hieroglyphs of which it treats.

Abstract:

The cult of Saturn in North Africa is prominent example of syncretism between Roman and Punic religious traditions and of how provincial people represented their cultural identity during the Roman imperial period. Yet despite reaching an apparent zenith in popularity in the early 3rd century A.D., most scholars believe the cult suffered a rapid decline in the 4th century A.D. due to the increased popularity of Christianity. This thesis argues that the cult of Saturn survived both in ritual practice and as a symbol of African identity until the 6th century A.D. African elites used the cult of Saturn to represent their vision of African identity under the Roman Empire. In the 3rd century A.D. elite Africans began to equate Saturn with the Syrian god Bel, and reclaim the Roman mythology associated with the Phoenician founder Belus. Elite Africans used Saturn to link themselves to a mythologised history of Phoenician scientific, and literary achievement. This strategy continued to be used by African Christians in Late Antiquity. In this period Saturn also came to represent the ambivalence many Africans felt towards the Punic and Numidian past. Saturn was an exiled king who was hidden in his own land, and a shadowy figure in the Roman pantheon. This duality was a useful way of describing both the marginal position of temples of Saturn in African townscapes, and of framing African elites’ relationship with the physical remains of the pre-Roman past. Saturn continued to be a prominent symbol of African identity in late antiquity. The works of African Christian authors and on imperial legislation have unduly coloured how archaeologists interpret their evidence. This thesis re-examines the archaeological evidence for late antique ritual practice with a particular focus on small finds such as pots, bones, and coins. These domestic items were increasingly consumed by African peasants in late antiquity, and often appear in structured deposits as offerings in temples of Saturn. These inexpensive everyday objects became a means for non-elite Africans to appropriate temple spaces and connect with their pre-Roman past. We can also see evidence of the cult’s significance in African Christian responses to the cult of Saturn. In criticising the cult, African Christians were forced to frame their own cultural identity in relation to it. This reflected a paradox common to many colonised societies, that provincial elites (including bishops) were forced to master Roman elite culture in order to rise through the ranks, but this alienated them from the Punic speaking and rural Africans they claimed to represent. The most effective Christian rhetors were aware of this irony and used it to expose the same contradictions inherent in the cult of Saturn and its elite leadership.

Abstract:

Una reconstrucció topogràfica d’Alexandria a l’antiguitat és un intent de trobar un camí en un laberint arqueològic d’evidències fragmentàries. A la llum de les recents troballes, per tant, es tracta d’un intent complementari a d’altres anteriors (Adriani 1934, 1966; Tkaczow 1993). L’estudi actual, té en compte els darrers dos segles de recerca sistemàtica sobre la topografia de l’antiga ciutat, que té com a objectiu: (i) un catàleg de jaciments arqueològics, des de l’Expedició francesa (1798-9) fins ara; (ii) inferir la planta urbana i el paisatge de la ciutat en la seva fundació (segle IV aC), i els subsegüents canvis que van tenir lloc fins a la conquesta àrab d’Egipte (VII dC). Per aquesta raó, s’adopta una aproximació holística a la reconstrucció topogràfica, a on la cultura material s’estudia conjuntament amb el registre històric (vol. I: text). Vol. II de la tesis (imatges; plantes d’AutoCAD) serveixen per mostrar els resultats.

A topographical reconstruction of Alexandria in antiquity is attempting to find a way through an archaeological labyrinth of fragmentary evidence. In the light of the recent discoveries, therefore, a new attempt becomes complementary to earlier ones (Adriani 1934, 1966; Tkaczow 1993). The current study, taking into account the last two centuries of systematic research into the topography of the ancient city, aims at: (i) cataloguing the archaeological sites, from the French Expedition (1798-99) to date; (ii) infer the urban plan and cityscape of the foundation (4th cent. BC), and the subsequent changes taking place to the Arab conquest of Egypt (7th cent. AD). To this end, a holistic approach to topographical reconstruction is adopted, where ‘material culture’ is studied in conjunction with the ‘historical record’ (vol. I: text). Vol. II of the thesis (plates; AutoCAD maps) serves to display the results.

Zytka, Michal Jakub. "Baths and bathing in late Antiquity." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2013. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/53876/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the cultural, religious and therapeutic functions of Roman baths and bathing during Late Antiquity, as they are presented in a wide range of primary literary sources, and the way in which they are addressed in current research. The chronological scope of the work stretches from the late 3rd to the early 7th century. The geographical focus is on the Eastern part of the Roman Empire. The aim of the thesis is, primarily, to analyse aspects of bathing during this period that have not been previously addressed in detail (such as medicinal uses of bathing) and to examine the issues that have been discussed in the past but had not been answered unequivocally, or which have not been treated in an exhaustive manner – such as the matters of nudity and equality in a bath-house environment, or of Christian attitudes to bathing in this context. The thesis also considers what the knowledge of the subject topic contributes to our understanding of the period of Late Antiquity. The thesis examines the changes that occurred in the bathing culture during Late Antiquity and their causes, exploring in detail the impact of Christianity on bathing customs, and devotes special attention to how the perceptions of bathing were presented in the contemporary sources. This will be achieved by investigating passages from a wide range of texts mentioning baths and bathing and subsequently drawing conclusions based on the analysis of the primary sources.

Abstract:

Buildings and architectural metaphors occupy an important place in early Christian literature. Heaven was conceived of as a city, Christ is a cornerstone, apostles and prophets are foundations and pillars, the Virgin Mary is a gateway to salvation and believers are living stones. This dissertation studies the equally inventive range of visual architectural symbolism in the art of the late Roman Empire and its successor states. Taking examples from across the Mediterranean basin, from Rome to Syria, it investigates why buildings were so often chosen for illustration and how they functioned as images, often as active protagonists within compositions. Chapter one deals with late fourth-century funerary monuments; chapter two discusses the early fifth-century apse mosaics of Roman churches; chapter three covers the mosaic floors of Syrian and Jordanian churches from the fourth to seventh centuries, and chapter four moves between the Umayyad eastern Mediterranean and Carolingian and papal Rome, to discuss the renewed enthusiasm for architectural imagery in the eighth and early ninth centuries. Buildings embodied many positive qualities, such as stability, tradition, authority, civilisation and wealth, and the open-endedness of architectural iconography enabled viewers to read multiple meanings into one image. The flexibility of architectural symbolism, the role of depicted buildings as both agents and mediators, and their effectiveness as embodiments of material splendour all contributed to the impact of architectural imagery. This dissertation shows how images of buildings were inventively deployed, especially at times of heightened social competition, as powerful expressions of institutional and religious identity and personal status.

Abstract:

Shipyards in Egypt played an extensive role in building the Egyptian civilization through the ages. Significant archaeological excavations at several sites in Egypt have revealed the remains of shipyards dating back to antiquity. Studies of Egyptian shipyards in different environments utilizing ethnographic research, have revealed the main features of Egyptian shipyards and the region’s shipbuilding industry. Shipyards reflect both the materialistic aspect represented in tools and material, and the cultural aspect represented by labourers and builders; therefore, studying Egyptian shipyards illustrates significant evidence about the outlook of the shipbuilding industry in Egypt.

Full text

Abstract:

Pseudociencia y sociedad en España. Estado de la cuestión e investigaciones recientes analyses the communicative strategies that pseudoscience uses for its social ex-pansion. This work begins with the definition of an epistemological framework that allows us to understand the phenomenon of pseudoscience and its rela-tionship with the main factors of contemporary society, such as relativism and liquidity. As a consequence of the postmodern condition, absolute certainties vanish and the possibility of not only ignoring science but even denying it be-comes real. In this sense, one of the main theses of this work is that the over-informed, postmodern and liquid society favours the expansion of pseudo-scientific discourses. Spain, like most countries, is no stranger to this expan-sion. To confirm this hypothesis, different social groups have been analysed to a) identify the degree of insertion of pseudoscience in these contexts; b) describe and categorise the communicative elements present in pseudoscien-tific discourses; and c) propose lines of action to limit the rise of these dis-courses. The present research has covered science journalists, literature, libraries, universities and different representatives of the biomedical field, such as pharmacists and healthcare professionals. Mixed methodologies have been applied: in-depth interviews to identify discursive patterns, content analysis, data analysis, and focus groups. Among the main conclusions, the followings stand out: 1) Pseudoscience uses fallacy, relativism, emotional reinforcement, opposition to a supposed dogmatic concept of science, antiquity, holistic or naturalistic arguments, among others to expand. 2) Pseudoscience normalizes its social discourse through its appearance in different contexts, in some cases openly, and in others in a discourse of risk minimization that favours its nor-malization as something innocuous. As a whole, the pseudoscientific discourse represents a challenge for scientific communication that must be addressed using all the communicative tools available.
