Item description from seller

Conflicting Narratives and Ritual Dynamics. Edited by Thomas Dittelbach and Ágnes Sebestyén. The light, the colour, the horizon line are parameters for the perception of the Mediterranean. The key issue is how we can connect all the specific ways of perception which each of us necessarily has of the Mediterranean. All the different convergences need to reflect themselves and reverberate in the narratives, the rituals, the performances and oral traditions of our perception of one another. Perceiving the Mediterranean means to pursue a dialectical process in discovering the otherness of our counterparts at the other edge of the horizon which is not simply an aesthetic line. Using narrative forms of representation, literary, filmic and photographic media requires modes of perceiving the Mediterranean that in comparison with perceived reality reveal fractures and contradictions - conflicting narratives. 16 essays try to offer different ways, topics and interdisciplinary methods, from medieval to recent times, to drive forward a mutual communication on Mediterranean issues. Contents: S. D. Paich: Ambiguity of Center and Periphery and the Middle Sea. - P. Blessing: Tile Decoration as a Visual Device in Medieval Anatolia. - B. Kütükcüoglu: An Architectural Reading of Azra Erhat's Travels. - M. M. Cobaleda: An Interpretation of Ornamentation in the Almoravid Art. - D.

Micaleff: The (Non-Artistic) Performance of Mediterranean. Case Study Malta. - A. Usta: Latin and 'Mediterranean' Traditions in Medieval Cyprus. - P. Vidal-González: Shearing as a Ritual Feast amongst Shepherds in the Mediterranean. - T. Dittelbach: The Bern Illuminated Chronicle of Petrus de Ebulo (Codex 120 II). - E. Cil/A. N.
