Get PDFDie BeitrĂ€ge des Bandes untersuchen, wie Formen und Möglichkeiten des griechischen PortrĂ€ts auĂerhalb des Kulturraums, in dem sie zunĂ€chst entstanden waren, aufgenommen und fĂŒr die Zwecke und Anliegen von lokalen Eliten eingesetzt worden sind. Die Gattung der PortrĂ€tstatuen erfĂŒllte in Griechenland zentrale gesellschaftliche Aufgaben. Seit dem spĂ€ten 5. Jh. v. Chr. haben auch andere Gesellschaften die Mög- lichkeiten des PortrĂ€ts fĂŒr eigene Zwecke ĂŒbernommen. Das gilt fĂŒr Mittelitalien ebenso wie fĂŒr Zypern und die westlichen Randgebiete des Perserreiches. Die Expan- sion des hellenistischen Kulturraums seit Alexander dem GroĂen machte auch die LĂ€nder Mittelasiens mit den Möglichkeiten des PortrĂ€ts bekannt und fĂŒhrte dazu, das entsprechende PhĂ€nomene eine weite Verbrei- tung fanden. SpĂ€ter war es vor allem und in besonderem MaĂe Rom, das die Bildniskunst instrumentalisierte und fĂŒr ihre weitrĂ€umige Verbreitung sorgte

Chinese Society in the Age of Confucius (1000-250 BC)
No full textThe Late Bronze Age (ca. 1000-250 BC) was a crucial period during which the Chinese Classics came into being and famous thinkers such as Confucius (ca. 551-479 BC) laid the intellectual foundations of traditional Chinese civilization. Complementing and often challenging the surviving writings, Lothar von Falkenhausen develops a self-consciously archaeological perspective on the social conditions in this time. He analyzes clan and lineage organization, social stratification, gender and ethnic differences, as well as social change over time. Falkenhausen not only presents new data, but also thinks about these data in new ways, emphasizing the nexus between the social order and ritual practices and introducing anthropological approaches as-yet rarely tested in China
