Synopsis

Contested Artifacts explores the complex world of cultural property disputes, where history, art, and world politics collide. The book delves into artifact repatriation, examining how international law, ethics, and national identity fuel conflicts over cultural heritage. Did you know that the Benin Bronzes, for example, are claimed by Nigeria from various European museums, highlighting the legacy of colonial-era acquisition? The study emphasizes that resolving these disputes requires a nuanced approach, considering historical context and ethical responsibilities beyond simple legal claims.

 
The book uniquely balances legal and ethical dimensions, analyzing cases like the Elgin Marbles and the Koh-i-Noor diamond to illustrate the multifaceted nature of these disputes. It progresses by first introducing foundational concepts, and then moves on to specific case studies, incorporating perspectives from museums, governments, and indigenous communities.

 
Ultimately, it proposes collaborative frameworks for resolving disputes, emphasizing shared stewardship and cultural exchange.

    "The problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the school-boy. When mastered, all difficulty disappears, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political, or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrong-living. As they are solved in the heart of each individual, they will be solved in the mass of men. Humanity at present is in the painful stage of “learning.” It is confronted with the difficulties of its own ignorance. As men learn to live rightly, learn to direct their forces and use their functions and faculties by the light of wisdom, the sum of life will be correctly done, and its mastery will put an end to all the “problems of evil.” To the wise, all such problems have ceased. " 
    In this short work, Allen explores the way in which our minds create and interact with our circumstances, travelling from the inner world of thoughts to the final conquest of the spirit. On the way he explores the way in which we create our own futures through the habits we choose, how bodily conditions are no excuse for spiritual weakness, and how true poverty is of the mind, not the circumstances.

    The Qabbalists conceive of the Supreme Deity as an Incomprehensible Principle to be discovered only through the process of eliminating, in order, all its cognizable attributes. That which remains--when every knowable thing has been removed--is AIN SOPH, the eternal state of Being. Although indefinable, the Absolute permeates all space. Abstract to the degree of inconceivability, AIN SOPH is the unconditioned state of all things. Substances, essences, and intelligences are manifested out of the inscrutability of AIN SOPH, but the Absolute itself is without substance, essence, or intelligence. AIN SOPH may be likened to a great field of rich earth out of which rises a myriad of plants, each different in color, formation, and fragrance, yet each with its roots in the same dark loam--which, however, is unlike any of the forms nurtured by it. The "plants" are universes, gods, and man, all nourished by AIN SOPH and all with their source in one definitionless essence; all with their spirits, souls, and bodies fashioned from this essence, and doomed, like the plant, to return to the black ground--AIN SOPH, the only Immortal--whence they came.

    Wie formt Sprache unsere Identität? Wie inszenieren wir verschiedene Identitäten durch Sprache? Welche Normen bestimmen unseren Sprachgebrauch - und wie verändern sich diese im Lauf der Zeit, in Abhängigkeit von den beteiligten Akteur:innen? Was verraten historische Quellen über die damals Schreibenden und ihre Schreibpraktiken?
    Der Sammelband widmet sich diesen und weiteren Fragen zur Rolle von Sprache in gesellschaftlichen und technologischen Wandelprozessen. Er umfasst deutsch- und englischsprachige Beiträge, die interessante Einblicke in die Variabilität von Einzelsprachen bieten und sich in drei Teile gliedern: Sprachgebrauch und Sprachidentitäten in historischen Schriftzeugnissen (Teil I), Sprachgebrauch im Spannungsfeld von Norm, Variation und Didaktik (Teil II) und Sprachgebrauch, Sprachidentitäten und Indexikalität im Wandel (Teil III). Ergänzend dazu wird in der Einleitung erläutert, welches Konzept von Sprachidentität dem Sammelband zugrunde liegt und welche Argumente dafür sprechen, von mehreren Sprachidentitäten auszugehen.

    As the settler state of Canada expanded into Indigenous lands, settlers dispossessed Indigenous people and undermined their sovereignty as nations. One site of invasion was Kahnawà:ke, a Kanien’kehá:ka community and part of the Rotinonhsiónni confederacy. The Laws and the Land delineates the establishment of a settler colonial relationship from early contact ways of sharing land; land practices under Kahnawà:ke law; the establishment of modern Kahnawà:ke in the context of French imperial claims; intensifying colonial invasions under British rule; and ultimately the Canadian invasion in the guise of the Indian Act, private property, and coercive pressure to assimilate. What Daniel Rück describes is an invasion spearheaded by bureaucrats, Indian agents, politicians, surveyors, and entrepreneurs.This original, meticulously researched book is deeply connected to larger issues of human relations with environments, communal and individual ways of relating to land, legal pluralism, historical racism and inequality, and Indigenous resurgence.
