Description
In diesem interdisziplinären Sammelband, der aus einer Tagung anläßlich der Berliner Ausstellung Babylon - Wahrheit und Mythos hervorgeht, diskutieren international renommierte Wissenschaftler aus den Altertumswissenschaften erstmals unter dem Fokus "Wissenskultur": Für die zeitgenössischen Kulturen der Alten Welt galt Babylon als Inbegriff von Gelehrsamkeit, in den Transformationsprozessen der Spät- und Nachantike hingegen wurde es in dem Maße, wie diese Wissenskultur nach dem Untergang der altorientalischen Reiche in Vergessenheit geriet, zum Sinnbild für Okkultismus, Magie und esoterisches Wissen. Als erstes gemeinsames Pilotprojekt von Topoi und dem Verlag De Gruyter für die zeitgleiche Publikation in Print und Open Access wird dieser Band bei Erscheinen über die Website www.reference-global.de auch als eBook "open access" verfügbar sein.
Description
In this collection of interdisciplinary papers, for the first time well-known scholars of Ancient Near Eastern Studies discuss Babylon from the point of view of the "culture of knowledge". The volume is the result of a conference that took place on the occasion of the exhibition Babylon - Truth and Myth in Berlin. For the contemporary cultures of the Ancient World, Babylon was the epitome of learned scholarship. Yet in the processes of transformation of Late and post-Antiquity, to the same extent to which this culture of knowledge was forgotten after the collapse of the old oriental empires, Babylon became symbolic for the occult, for magic and esoteric knowledge. As the first joint pilot project by Topoi and the publisher De Gruyter for the simultaneous publication in print and open access, this volume will, on publication, also be available via www.reference-global.de as an eBook "open access".
