  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

Het gebeurt meermalen dat voorstanders der klassieke opleiding zich bij de verdediging hunner overtuiging tegen- over onverschilligen of vijandiggezinden voornamelijk op de schoonheid der antieke literatuur beroepen; er wordt ge- wezen op de letterkundige meesterstukken, die de kennis der oude talen voor den klassieke gevormde toegankeüjk maakt; de tegenstander echter stelt, zoo hij de voordeden eener letterkundige vorming toegeeft, hier tegenover de vraag, of men het nagestreefde doel niet even goed, misschien zelfs nog beter, bereiken kan door de studie der moderne literaturen. Menig kundig beoefenaar der nieuwere philo- logie hoort men in dien geest spreken; en inderdaad, als men het bekende argument der hersen-gymnastiek, die het moeilijke Latijn en Grieksch den beoefenaar biedt, buiten beschouwing laat, dan valt niet in te zien hoe de classicus de vraag van zijn collega anders dan bevestigend kan beantwoorden; maar er is nog een ander doel dat de klassieke opleiding beoogt, zij moet meer zijn dan het lezen van eenige literair-hoogstaande auteurs: ook tot de cultuur-historische vorming van den leerling moet zij bij- dragen. Om dat doel te bereiken dient de docent zich bij zijn onderwijs voortdurend bewust te zijn van het contact, dat er tusschen het geestesleven der Oudheid en dat van onzen tijd bestaat.

I would especially like to thank my advisor, Professor Andrea Berlin, for all her help and advice at all stages of the production process as well as for suggesting the topic to me in the first place. I would also like to thank all the members of my dissertation committee (Professor Susan Herbert of the University of Michigan, as well as Professors Philip Sellew and Nita Krevans of the University of Minnesota) for all their help and support. During the writing process, I benefitted greatly from a George A. Barton fellowship to the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem in the fall of 2009. I would like to thank the fellowship committee for giving me such a wonderful and productive opportunity that helped me greatly in this endeavour as well as the staff of the Albright for their aid and support. I would also like to thank both Dr. Donald Ariel of the Israel Antiquities Authority for his aid in getting access to the material and his valuable advice in ways of looking at it and Peter Stone of the University of Cincinnati whose discussions on his work on the pottery from Kedesh helped to illuminate various curious aspects of my own.

  • Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period Ryan
    Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period by Ryan Anthony Boehm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil, Chair Professor Erich Gruen Professor Mark Griffith Spring 2011 Copyright © Ryan Anthony Boehm, 2011 ABSTRACT SYNOIKISM, URBANIZATION, AND EMPIRE IN THE EARLY HELLENISTIC PERIOD by Ryan Anthony Boehm Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair This dissertation, entitled “Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period,” seeks to present a new approach to understanding the dynamic interaction between imperial powers and cities following the Macedonian conquest of Greece and Asia Minor. Rather than constructing a political narrative of the period, I focus on the role of reshaping urban centers and regional landscapes in the creation of empire in Greece and western Asia Minor. This period was marked by the rapid creation of new cities, major settlement and demographic shifts, and the reorganization, consolidation, or destruction of existing settlements and the urbanization of previously under- exploited regions. I analyze the complexities of this phenomenon across four frameworks: shifting settlement patterns, the regional and royal economy, civic religion, and the articulation of a new order in architectural and urban space. The introduction poses the central problem of the interrelationship between urbanization and imperial control and sets out the methodology of my dissertation. After briefly reviewing and critiquing previous approaches to this topic, which have focused mainly on creating catalogues, I point to the gains that can be made by shifting the focus to social and economic structures and asking more specific interpretive questions.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

  • Epoch-Making Eratosthenes Astrid Möller
    Epoch-making Eratosthenes Astrid Möller NCIENT GREEK CHRONOGRAPHY1 developed when his- torians began to ask for temporal distances between past A events and themselves. As long as there was no fixed point of reference, i.e. a common era, each event had to be located in time in relation to other events, and this relation was expressed by intervals in years or generations. Such a method to bridge the time span into the past by adding intervals be- tween events can be labeled a “diastematic” system of dating. It was the Italian historian Santo Mazzarino2 who derived it from the Greek word diastematikós—proceeding by intervals. A good example of the construction of such a diastematic chronology by joining intervals between important events and arranging a sequence of periods given by years can be seen in the famous fragment from the Chronographiai by Eratosthenes of Cyrene (276/3–194/1 B.C.):3 * 1 Chronography is used in two different meanings: (1) It denotes a his toriographical genre that records historical events precisely dated by refÉeErrenacteo styo° nah wc dh¢r otnooÁlwo xgricÒanl oustwa nœddaer éd.n a(2gr) ãIft eir:e fers to the process of asséopciÚa tmin¢ng Tperros¤oanws oèrl e≈vseenvtsw w§pit‹h Ñ Hprreaciksle ediadt«esn, ki.ãe.y tohdeo na c¶ttivhi tÙyg odfo Ædaktointga, :in par§tnictueËlayre fno dr ¢t i§mpe‹ st Øbnef oÉIrven c¤harwo knto¤lsoignic ¶atl hs t•ajnÆdkaorndts ae:x isted.

  • Naqshbandi Sufi, Persian Poet
    ABD AL-RAHMAN JAMI: “NAQSHBANDI SUFI, PERSIAN POET A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Farah Fatima Golparvaran Shadchehr, M.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Approved by Professor Stephen Dale, Advisor Professor Dick Davis Professor Joseph Zeidan ____________________ Advisor Graduate Program in History Copyright by Farah Shadchehr 2008 ABSTRACT The era of the Timurids, the dynasty that ruled Transoxiana, Iran, and Afghanistan from 1370 to 1506 had a profound cultural and artistic impact on the history of Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire, and Mughal India in the early modern era. While Timurid fine art such as miniature painting has been extensively studied, the literary production of the era has not been fully explored. Abd al-Rahman Jami (817/1414- 898/1492), the most renowned poet of the Timurids, is among those Timurid poets who have not been methodically studied in Iran and the West. Although, Jami was recognized by his contemporaries as a major authority in several disciplines, such as science, philosophy, astronomy, music, art, and most important of all poetry, he has yet not been entirely acknowledged in the post Timurid era. This dissertation highlights the significant contribution of Jami, the great poet and Sufi thinker of the fifteenth century, who is regarded as the last great classical poet of Persian literature. It discusses his influence on Persian literature, his central role in the Naqshbandi Order, and his input in clarifying Ibn Arabi's thought. Jami spent most of his life in Herat, the main center for artistic ability and aptitude in the fifteenth century; the city where Jami grew up, studied, flourished and produced a variety of prose and poetry.

  • Postcolonising Danish Foreign Policy Activism in the Global South: Cases of Ghana, India and the Us Virgin
    Nikita Pliusnin POSTCOLONISING DANISH FOREIGN POLICY ACTIVISM IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH: CASES OF GHANA, INDIA AND THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS Faculty of Management and Business Master‟s Thesis April 2021 ABSTRACT Nikita Pliusnin: Postcolonising Danish Foreign Policy Activism in the Global South: Cases of Ghana, India and the US Virgin Islands Master‟s Thesis Tampere University Master‟s Programme in Leadership for Change, European and Global Politics, CBIR April 2021 There is a growing corpus of academic literature, which is aimed to analyse Danish activism as a new trend of the kingdom‟s foreign policy. Different approaches, both positivist and post-positivist ones, study specific features of activism, as well the reasons of why this kind of foreign policy has emerged in post- Cold War Denmark. Nevertheless, little has been said on the role of Danish colonial past in the formation of strategies and political courses towards other states and regions. The heterogeneous character of Danish colonialism has also been overlooked by scholars: while Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands are thoroughly examined in Danish postcolonial studies, so-called „tropical colonies‟ (the Danish West Indies, the Danish Gold Coast and Danish India) are almost „forgotten‟. The aim of the thesis is to investigate how the Danish colonial past (or rather the interpretations of the past by the Danish authorities) in the Global South influences modern Danish foreign policy in Ghana, India and US Virgin Islands (the USVI) (on the present-day territories of which Danish colonies were once situated). An authored theoretical and methodological framework of the research is a compilation of discourse theory by Laclau and Mouffe (1985) and several approaches within postcolonialism, including Orientalism by Said (1978) and hybridity theory by Bhabha (1994).
