In recent years, the field of colour studies has gained traction across a wide range of academic disciplines, including linguistics, cognitive sciences, psychology and the fine arts. The aim of our workshop was to provide a multidisciplinary forum to promote discussion and debate about one particular theme, that of the economic value of colour in ancient times, from diverse perspectives. Fortunately, most members of that group sent in manuscripts for this volume, which we then subjected to intensive collabo- rative editing and re-working. Included here are papers by Egyptologists, Assyriologists, Classicists and archaeologists of the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world. We would like to thank all of our contributors for participating so enthusiastically in this extremely productive exchange of ideas and critical feedback. Our thanks are also due to the reviewers selected by Edition Topoi – this volume has certainly benefited from their expertise and helpful comments. For generously support- ing the workshop in Berlin and the publication of this book, we extend our gratitude to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Gerd Graßhoff and Michael Meyer (the spokesmen who coordinate the Excellence Cluster Topoi in Berlin). Finally, Gisela Eberhardt and Nadine Riedl deserve special thanks for their assistance during the publication process. Shiyanthi Thavapalan, Providence David A. Warburton, Berlin David A. Warburton Value of Colour: Introduction Summary Bright colours and pure whites were appreciated in the ancient world, appearing in texts and artefacts. In contrast to modern colours, ancient colours were intimately tied to the real world of the palaces, temples and tombs of the elites and divinities of the Bronze Age. The origins and history of abstract ancient colours are highly material; the names of precious materials were used to designate not only some early colours, but these materials also lent their names to some of the earliest artificial products, likewise bound into the world of colours. Pigments used for dyeing and painting must be separated from the actual precious materials, which had relatively high prices as documented in the material from Egypt and Mesopotamia. The same precious materials and colours were highly esteemed across the entire ancient Near Eastern Bronze Age world, from Mesopotamia to the Aegean. Keywords: colour terminology; hues; precious materials; prices; value; imitations Bunte Farben und reines Weiß waren in der bronzezeitlichen Welt beliebt und treten so- wohl an Objekten als auch in der Sprache auf. Im Gegensatz zur Moderne waren Farben damals eng mit der realen Welt der Paläste, Tempel und Gräber von Eliten und Gotthei- ten verbunden. Der Ursprung und die Geschichte abstrakter Farbbegriffe ist im Material verankert: Kostbare Materialien verliehen nicht nur einigen frühen Farben ihren Namen, sondern auch einigen der frühesten Artefakte, die damit ebenfalls in die Welt der Farben eingebunden waren. Zum Färben und Malen verwendete Pigmente müssen von den kostba- ren Materialien unterschieden werden, die den Quellen aus Ägypten und Mesopotamien zufolge hohe Preise erzielten. Beides, kostbare Materialien und Farben, wurde in der ge- samten vorderasiatischen bronzezeitlichen Welt, von Mesopotamien bis zur Ägäis, hoch geschätzt.

Otto stressed that the essence of the Greek gods was “eternal brilliance”,“mighty magic glowing in gold”,“intrinsic radiance”;Deme- ter stood forth in “shining beauty”,Artemis was a “bright spirit”,Dionysos was “golden haired”.1 By contrast, the less than divine Ariadne was but “blond” (like the “fostered by Zeus” Menelaos) – while ordinary warriors merely “long-haired”.2 After being wel- comed by the gods, Ino became the “bright” or “white” (Λευκοϑέη) goddess.3 The links between “bright”,“white”,“gold” and divinity are clear. Leo Oppenheim, Elena Cassin and recently, Rosel Pientka-Hinz have also stressed that the gods of earliest Mesopotamia were distinctly associated with the bright and luminous.4 When Hammurabi “heaps up luxury for [the gods] Anu and Ishtar”,5 the Royal Cemetery of Ur confirms that he largely means shining gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and carnelian (cf. Figs. 1, 2 and 3).6 Thus light and colour were attributes of the gods, with whom the kings shared precious metals and stones. Colour was nothing ordinary at the dawn of history: brilliant, shining, golden light was divinity itself. Walter F. Otto also cites Nietzsche approvingly concerning their shared admiration for Epicurus. In the quote Otto draws from the 19th century philosopher, Nietzsche describes enjoying the luck of the afternoon of Antiquity: – I see his eye looking across a wide white sea, to the cliffs of the shore where the sun lies while great and small creatures play in its light, certain and calm like the light of that eye itself.7 An enraptured Greek taking pleasure at thought would never have expressed himself this way: involuntarily we think of the “bright” or “wine(-coloured)” sea,8 the “golden faced” Sun,9 and “gleaming eyed” Athena,10 as these reflect how the Greeks treated the nature of the sublime. For the Greeks, it was not mere ‘light’, but rather a vague and enchanting ‘brightness’. In his form, Nietzsche was not being lax. Yetunthinkingly, through his language, he revealed our own disenchantment. In the modern world – with gas, electricity, and syn- thetic pigments – light and colour are all around us; light and colour have lost all mean- 1 Otto 2002, 164–165, 208, 211 (the first edition goes sein Auge auf ein weites weißliches Meer blicken, back to 1929). über Uferfelsen hin, auf denen die Sonne liegt, 2 Hom.

  • Pressemitteilung Zu Texas
    Pressemitteilung zu Texas Die Pop-Institution Texas feiert das 30-jährige Jubiläum ihres Debütalbums „Southside“ am 15.11.2020 in der Großen Freiheit 36 Hamburg, Dezember 2019 – Am Anfang stand „Southside“. Das bahnbrechende Album bildete den Auftakt zu einer grandiosen Karriere, in deren Verlauf Texas global 40 Millionen Alben verkauften und weltweit Fans in ihre Konzerte zogen. Diese ikonische Scheibe wird die Band um die charismatische Sängerin und Songwriterin Sharleen Spiteri komplett vortragen, inklusive Hits wie „I Don’t Want a Lover“ und „Thrill Has Gone“. Natürlich dürfen bei dieser Show auch die übrigen Texas-Hits wie etwa „Summer Son“, „Inner Smile“ und „Say What You Want“ nicht fehlen. Die Schotten gastieren am 15.11.2020 in der Großen Freiheit 36 in Hamburg. Texas wurden 1986 in Glasgow von Bassist Johnny McElhone gegründet. Der Name der Band stammt von dem Wim-Wenders-Film „Paris, Texas“, für den Ry Cooder seinerzeit den Soundtrack komponierte. Mit Frontfrau Sharleen Spiteri fand die Kapelle eine kreative Persönlichkeit, die den Sound des Septetts bis heute entscheidend prägt. Musikalisch sind Texas von Northern Soul, Disco sowie den Bee Gees und Orange Juice beeinflusst. „Southside“ wurde im März 1989 veröffentlicht und verkaufte sich weltweit rund zwei Millionen Mal. Als erste Single wurde „I Don´t Want a Lover“ ausgekoppelt, die prompt auf Platz 8 der UK Charts landete. Es folgten Tourneen durch Europa und den USA. Im Verlauf ihrer Karriere präsentierten die Schotten weitere Bestseller-Alben auf, darunter: „White On Blonde“ (1997), „The Hush“ (1999) und natürlich „The Greatest Hits“ (2000). Letztere stellt mit rund fünf Millionen verkaufter Einheiten die bislang erfolgreichste Veröffentlichung der Band dar.
