A primeira parte do artigo faz uma introdução conceitual e historiográfica à noção de “gênero epistêmico” na obra de Gianna Pomata. Essa noção ganhou considerável atenção e interesse nos últimos ...anos, não apenas em relação à história da ciência e da medicina, mas também entre os historiadores no campo da teoria da história e história da historiografia. Em linhas gerais, podemos dizer que a noção de gênero epistêmico é uma ferramenta para a história cultural do conhecimento. Para Pomata, o desaparecimento, a emergência e a transformação de um gênero epistêmico revelam profundas mudanças nos modos coletivos de pensamento. Atenção específica no artigo é dada ao manifesto, agora um gênero socialmente reconhecido nos debates contemporâneos em teoria da história, e ao que ele revela sobre a economia moral dos historiadores. Defendo que a transformação do manifesto – cuja história podemos retraçar às lutas revolucionárias modernas e às vanguardas artísticas contemporâneas – em um gênero epistêmico pode ser lida como um sinal da introdução da sua dinâmica político-temporal na produção do conhecimento histórico.

The topic of Chinese material culture is quite rare in modern classical studies. However, even the analysis of a few artifacts found in the territory of China allows us to enrich significantly our ...understanding of the occurrence of Hellenic mythological motifs outside their "traditional area" (both geographical and chronological). On the territory of the Greco-Roman Mediterranean, already in the first centuries of our era there is a gradual strengthening of new religious-philosophical doctrines, but on the Great Silk Road we can state a kind of "conservation" of mythological images dating back to the archaic period of Greece (or even to the Mycenaean era). We are not talking about unfounded interpretations, but about artifacts with many details characteristic of the Greco-Romanic world. Such images are little known in Russian-speaking scholarship, therefore it is relevant for the study of Greco-Asian syncretism to make them available for classicsts.
While the so-called material turn in the humanities and the social sciences has inspired a vibrant discourse on objects, things, and the concept of materiality in general, less attention has been ...paid to materials, particularly in cultural studies scholarship. With each of its chapters taking a particular material as its point of departure, this volume offers a palette of fresh approaches to materials within the realm of cultural studies. The contributors call for a materials-based perspective on culture, which has become all the more pertinent in times of climate change, energy crisis, conflict, migration, and the lingering coronavirus pandemic.

But at the same time, they are substances that society is viewing increasingly critically and ...whose chemical and industrial roots are under scrutiny. A History with Taste tells the story of flavor production and regulation, discussing the potential naturalization of synthetic flavorings.
As a region, the Banat has many unique features owing to its specific geographical location, its multi- and intercultural composition, and the cultural diversity of the people who live there. The ...goal of this volume is to shine a spotlight on the inhabitants of the Banat, to reflect upon their historical experiences, to describe their mentalities, and to show how their attitudes have changed over time.
Social movements are not only remembered in personal experience, but also through cultural carriers that shape how later movements see themselves and are seen by others. The present collection zooms ...in on the role of photography in this memory-activism nexus. How do iconographic conventions shape images of protest? Why do some images keep movements in the public eye, while others are quickly forgotten? What role do images play in linking different protests, movements, and generations of activists? Have the affordances of digital media made it easier for activists to use images in their memory politics, or has the digital production and massive online exchange of images made it harder to identify and remember a movement via a single powerful image? Bringing together experts in visual culture, cultural memory, social movements, and digital humanities, this collection presents new empirical, theoretical, and methodological insights into the visual memory of protest.

The nineteenth century has been called an age of monuments. In some places even one piece made a difference. This book is a study of the intellectual background and physical making of Finland’s first ...public sculpture, the statue of Professor Henrik Gabriel Porthan by Carl Eneas Sjöstrand. The idealised but sombre Porthan was born under the influence of German neoclassicism. Development on the project was slow but sure. The Swedish artist had to be supported over three years while he was putting together his first monumental piece in Munich and Rome, after which came another three years wait before the cast arrived to Finland. The bronze sculpture, commissioned by the Finnish Literary Society and raised by public subscriptions from people of all classes, was unveiled in the city of Turku in September 1864. Finns took some pride in the fact that, unlike other nations that had raised monuments to kings and generals, here the first place was given to a scholar. In this study Sjöstrand’s pioneering bronze is placed in a wider context and compared with works by his precursors and contemporaries in the international sculptor colony of Rome.
During the early republican period, architectural interventions in rural Turkey took the form of social engineering as part of the state's modernization and nationalization policies. Özge Sezer ...demonstrates how the state's particular programs had a powerful effect on rural life in the countryside. She examines the regime's goals and strategies for controlling the rural people through development projects and demographic shaping to create a strong Turkish identity and a loyal citizenry. The book outlines the implementation of new rural settlements, particularly following the 1934 Settlement Law, with a geographic focus on two cities - Izmir and Elazig - with varied socio-economic and ethnic standing in the state program.
