K. Shaw • Faculty of Communications, Bilgi University, Istanbul, Turkey Charles Watkinson • Director of Publications, American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Princeton, New Jersey Preface The destruction of Buddhist statues in Afghanistan, the looting of the National Museum in Baghdad, the toppling of images of Saddam Hussein... archaeology, our science of material culture, is daily challenged by such dynamic interplay of artifacts with politics. As recent news stories demonstrate, nowhere does this relationship come into sharper focus than under the most extreme political systems, such as dictatorships. This book is not, however, about recent events in Iraq, and none of the contributions dwell solely on the Middle East. The authors are united, rather, by their interest in the totalitarian political regimes which developed around the Mediterranean and mainly in the first half of the 20th century. Within this well- documented, carefully studied, theater, they explore both the treatment of the material remains of the past by dictators, and the roles archaeologists played, and continue to play, in interpreting that material. It may seem perverse not to discuss archaeology under contemporary dicta­ torships, since our colleagues continue to endure these regimes in every continent. Not only, however, would such broad coverage have made this book too dispersed, but we would also argue that, in Afghanistan and Iraq for example, it is still too soon to have a clear perspective, the experience of dictatorship being too recently ended. It is only as secret records are unearthed and the dangers of persecution are removed by regime-change that the complexity of the relationships between dictators and archaeologists becomes apparent. The dust will surely take many years to settle in the Middle East and new totalitarian regimes will continue to emerge. We only hope that the essays in this volume may point out some directions for unraveling the intricate webs of patron­ age and coercion dictators weave, and understanding more fully the opportunities and challenges that the past offers to those who seek to control it. This book project began as a conference session on archaeology under dicta­ torship, which was held at the 67th Annual Meeting of the Society for American \iii PREFACE Archaeology in Denver, Colorado. Several of the papers in this volume were first presented in Denver (those by Begg, Diaz-Andreu and Ramirez Sanchez, Galaty and Watkinson, and Gilkes). The symposium was stimulating and our schedule fluid, with much time reserved for discussion, and we would like to thank the participants, audience, and two excellent discussants, Phil Kohl and Tim Kaiser. Following the session, additional papers were soUcited and added, including the conclusion, expertly penned by Bettina Arnold. Our experience of dictatorship has not been direct (one of us being American and the other British), but our Albanian colleagues have, sometimes with hesita­ tion, told us about life and work under the Hoxha regime. As we prepared to edit this volume, we consulted Muzafer Korkuti, Director of the Albanian Institute of Archaeology in Tirana. P^of. Korkuti entered the field of archaeology and built his professional career during the communist period, and has made a remark­ ably successful adjustment to life and work in the new capitalist and democratic Albania. On two separate! occasions we interviewed Prof. Korkuti and portions of that interview have been excerpted for the introduction to this volume. We would like to thank Prof. Korkuti for his patience and insights, and we would like to dedicate this volume to the Albanian archaeological community We believe the future of Albanian archaeology is bright and feel honored and privileged to work there. Perhaps in the not-too-distant future Iraqi archaeologists can learn from the Albanian experience. MICHAEL L.

GALATY AND CHARLES WATKINSON A people lives happily in the present and future so long as it is aware of its past and the greatness of its ancestors. Heinrich Himmler (1936), quoted in Hassmann (2002:84) History is self-interest. Lucy Marsden in Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All (Gurganus, 2001:124) In recent decades, we have come to understand that archaeology and archaeologists can be and often have been—to paraphrase Phil Kohl and Claire Fawcett—made to "serve the state" (Kohl and Fawcett, 1995b). In fact, we now generally recognize the profound effect political ideologies have had on our understanding of the past, and vice versa. Furthermore—and with this most archaeologists would also agree—a relationship between politics and archaeology develops to some degree in every nation, regardless of (and in response to) the particular political and economic circumstances (Hamilakis and Yalouri, 1996). That said, however, it does seem to us that the relationship between politics and archaeology is more intense, perhaps more intimately realized, in situations of totalitarian dictatorship, notably when a dictator seeks to create and legitimize new state-supported ideologies, often, though not always, in the face of organized resistance. Dictators have long reaUzed the ideological importance of the past and have sought to wield archaeology as a poUtical tool. There are numerous examples MICHAEL L. GALATY • Millsaps College CHARLES WATKINSON • American School of Classical Studies at Athens 2 MICHAEL L. GALATY AND CHARLES WATKINSON of this, and they have been well described and analyzed: German archaeology under Hitler (Arnold, 1990, 2002a; Arnold and Hassmann, 1995; Harke, 2002; Hassmann, 2002; Junker, 1998; Wiwjorra, 1996), for instance; or the Soviet- style archaeology that formed under Stalin (Dolukhanov, 1996; Shnirelman, 1995, 1996;

    REINHARD JUNG · MATHIAS MEHOFER MYCENAEAN GREECE AND BRONZE AGE ITALY: COOPERATION, TRADE OR WAR? »I continue to believe it probable that the occasion for the first introduction of Type II swords to the Aegean was military necessity that drove Mycenaean princes to hire warriors from outside Greece. These warriors brought their own armouries with them. Their swords in particular were greatly admired by their em - ployers, who set their own swordsmiths to copy and adapt them.« 1 Since the publication of Hector Catling’s paper, which contains the above interpretation of Late Bronze Age relations between Mycenaean Greece and its north-western neighbours, various research ers have decisively contributed to a better understanding of the pro - cesses that lead 1) to the adoption of new types of weapons, armour, dress accessories and implements (often referred to as metallurgical koiné or »urnfield bronzes«) at the end of the Aegean Bronze Age and 2) to the local production of impasto pottery of Italian Recent and Final Bronze Age type in the Aegean and beyond. Thanks to the results of recent studies, we are provided with detailed typological arguments 2 that support the theory that the origin of those bronze and pottery types has to be traced back to Italy (figs 1-2). Other schools of research argued that the majority of the types forming the Fig. 1 Sites of the studied objects in Italy. – (Map R. Jung / metallurgical koiné was invented in the regions of M.

  • Die Falange Española Und Ihr Gründer José Antonio Primo De
    Die Falange Española und ihr Gründer José Antonio Primo de Rivera (1903-1936) - im Rahmen der Bewältigung der Vergangenheit der Zweiten Spanischen Republik (1931-1939) Frank Peter Geinitz Dissertation an der Sozialwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München vorgelegt von Frank Peter Geinitz aus Chemnitz München, den 5. Mai 2008 Meinen Eltern Erich und Ingeborg Erstgutachter : Professor Dr. Tilman Mayer, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms- Universität Bonn, Seminar für Politische Wissenschaft Zweitgutachter: Professor Dr. Martin Baumeister, LMU München, Historisches Seminar, Abt. Neueste Geschichte und Zeitgeschichte Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: Mittwoch, 27. Juni 2007 II Vorwort „Ohne Erinnerung keine Versöhnung“ „Ohne Gerechtigkeit kein Frieden“1 Wer ist dieser José Antonio Primo de Rivera, der ein im Chaos versinkendes Spanien retten möchte und dabei sein Leben aufs Spiel setzt? Ist dieser Adlige aus bestem Hause der geeignete und charismatische Anführer, der diesem Land in Zeiten großer politischer und sozialer Not den Weg zu einem ‚Neuen’ Staat, zu neuer Identität weisen kann? Warum das Interesse, 70 Jahre nach dem Tod des Gründers der politischen Bewegung Falange Española , eine Studie über ein anscheinend abgeschlossenes Thema aus der mit Abstand unglücklichsten Epoche der spanischen Geschichte anzufertigen? Es beruht schlicht und einfach auf dem Verlangen, dazu beizutragen, das damalige Geschehen mit den bestehenden Gegensätzen aufzugreifen, zu durchleuchten und, aus einem neuen Blickwinkel heraus, eine neutrale Wertung zur historischen Rolle der Falange Española und ihrer Führerpersönlichkeit hinzuzufügen. Denn die betreffende Epoche - die 30er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts - ist bis heute nicht hinreichend aufgearbeitet. Das Projekt wird ganz bewußt unter die eingangs genannten Mottos gestellt; beide sind für die Bewältigung jener tragischen Jahre der spanischen Geschichte gute ‚Leitbilder’.

    Volume LXXXVII Serie III, 9 Tomo I* 2009 ESTRATTO SCUOLA ARCHEOLOGICA ITALIANA DI ATENE 100 anni 1909/1910 - 2009/2010 LUIGI PERNIER: DIRETTORE “PEL BENE E L’AVVENIRE” * “Le dirò che la mia proposta del nome del Dr. Pernier per la direzione della Scuola di Atene è stata appoggiata presso il Ministro Rava dal Senatore Mosso e dall’On. Galli e che il Ministro ha risposto dando buon affidamento” 1 Con queste parole, scritte da Federico Halbherr 2 a Domenico Comparetti 3, nel settembre del 1908, si conclude la laboriosa genesi 4 della Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene. Il triangolo Comparetti-Halbherr-Pernier offre, nei frequenti scambi epistolari, uno spaccato affascinante e, per molti versi, estremamente attuale della rete di interessi politici e scientifici che avevano mosso, già all’indomani della scoperta di Gortina, l’appassionato roveretano a cercare una sede greca per le sue missioni archeologiche. Da Firenze Domenico Comparetti crea i presupposti politici e individua vari ambiti della ricer - ca scientifica, mentre a Halbherr il giovane Luigi Pernier 5 appare come una figura che possa unire la concretezza dell’attività sul campo ad un’indole diplomatica. “Luigi Pernier (…) si distingue per una speciale vocazione per questi studii di storia e di anti - chità” 6 Pernier era stato selezionato nel 1897 come allievo della Scuola Archeologica di Roma da una severa commissione composta da D. Comparetti, R. Lanciani, F. Halbherr, E. Loewy ed E. De Ruggiero. Il giudizio unanime di idoneità aveva confermato l’ottima prova che qualche mese prima Pernier aveva sostenuto discutendo la tesi di laurea di fronte, tra gli altri, a Giulio Beloch e con Lanciani come relatore.

  • Orbis Terrarum DATE: AD 20 AUTHOR: Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa
    Orbis Terrarum #118 TITLE: Orbis Terrarum DATE: A.D. 20 AUTHOR: Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa DESCRIPTION: The profound difference between the Roman and the Greek mind is illustrated with peculiar clarity in their maps. The Romans were indifferent to mathematical geography, with its system of latitudes and longitudes, its astronomical measurements, and its problem of projections. What they wanted was a practical map to be used for military and administrative purposes. Disregarding the elaborate projections of the Greeks, they reverted to the old disk map of the Ionian geographers as being better adapted to their purposes. Within this round frame the Roman cartographers placed the Orbis Terrarum, the circuit of the world. There are only scanty records of Roman maps of the Republic. The earliest of which we hear, the Sardinia map of 174 B.C., clearly had a strong pictorial element. But there is some evidence that, as we should expect from a land-based and, at that time, well advanced agricultural people, subsequent mapping development before Julius Caesar was dominated by land survey; the earliest recorded Roman survey map is as early as 167-164 B.C. If land survey did play such an important part, then these plans, being based on centuriation requirements and therefore square or rectangular, may have influenced the shape of smaller-scale maps. This shape was also one that suited the Roman habit of placing a large map on a wall of a temple or colonnade. Varro (116-27 B.C.) in his De re rustica, published in 37 B.C., introduces the speakers meeting at the temple of Mother Earth [Tellus] as they look at Italiam pictam [Italy painted].
