   Extractions: ABOUT MEDIEVAL WORLD This site was designed to make it easier to research Medieval history and culture on the web. The internet is a valuable source of information, but sometimes it is too hard to maneuver through to find what you want. This website began as a collection of links to allow students in my Medieval culture class to access information on the web more easily. It has since expanded to include much more. For descriptions of the different resources available here, look below. The site is continually being expanded and improved upon, so I welcome your comments, questions and suggestions. Direct them to medievalworld@hotmail.com Medieval World is in the process of re-locating to an ad-less host. Until the change is made, many pages will not be updated, and some graphics may stop functioning. After the change-over, all existing Medieval World pages will have links directing the user to the new page. Thanks for your patience!

3. European Culture

   Extractions: European Culture Horns Ende (Horn's End, Hein), Der Tangospieler (The Piano Player, Hein) or Flugasche (Flight of Ashes, Maron). Since this was the only public opposition (often difficult to get through the censor) it had to engage the reader. We know what freedom means much better when there is a clear-cut oppression. Culture in this country is not that separated from low culture, culture that people could relate to. I know that that is also bad because money can be made by not challenging viewers or readers. Hollywood's happy endings being the lasting examples even though they have become less primitive lately. But at least the road is open for occasional novels like William Styron's Sophie's Choice , of which even the film was a reflection, playing with the problems in the culture common to Europe and this country? Is it the background of oppression in this book that makes its representation of freedom so fascinatingly problematic? Or the insanity of the liberator with his make-believe-freedom who, because of being Jewish, was only recently liberated himself?

   Extractions: "The Kurgan solution is attractive and has been accepted by many archaeologists and linguists, in part or total. It is the solution one encounters in the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Grand Dictionnaire Encyclopedique Larousse. It describes Indo-European expansions in a framework congruent with expectation, and perhaps most importantly, it derives the Proto-Indo-Europeans from the Pontic-Caspian region, a territory which its bitterest opponents would normally admit was at least Indo-Iranian and undisturbed by population intrusions since the beginning of the Neolithic." (Mallory JP (1989) In Search of the Indo Europeans. Thames and Hudson Ltd. London. p. 185) "In sum, three of the five predictions those involving mate preference for earning potential, relative youth, and physical attractiveness were strongly confirmed across cultures. The prediction regarding ambition-industriousness was confirmed only in 29 samples, and showed a significant reversal among the Zulu. The chastity prediction received still less empirical support, with only 23 of the 37 samples showing significant sex differences." (Buss, D.M. (1989) Sex differences in human mate selection: Evolutionary hypotheses tested in 37 cultures. Behavioral and Brain Sciences 12 (1): pp. 13) "Conscious egohood is intensified in the civilizational process. The walls that rise up to isolate the city from nature also rise up to isolate the citizen from nature. The continuum is broken, and the rise of writing helps to break up as well the continuum of the sensorium, to locate consciousness in the written word. What the written word is to the sensorium, the ego is to the entire consciousness, and the city is to the entire encirclement of nature. Writing, individuation, and civilization are all parts of one larger cultural phenomenology. Because civilization is at a moment of overripeness in the Third Dynasty of Ur, the whole civilization process is being lifted up into consciousness in the Gilgamesh epic. "The owl of Minerva flies at dusk."" (Thompson, W.I. (1981) The Time Falling Bodies Take To Light; St. Martin’s Press: New York p. 196)

Many of the roots of European culture can be traced back to that glorious time of art, science, commerce and architecture. But did you know that long before the renaissance there was a place of humanistic beauty in Muslim Spain? Not only was it artistic, scientific and commercial, but it also exhibited incredible tolerance, imagination and poetry. Moors, as the Spaniards call the Muslims, populated Spain for nearly 700 years. As you'll see, it was their civilization that enlightened Europe and brought it out of the dark ages to usher in the renaissance. Many of their cultural and intellectual influences still live with us today. Way back during the eighth century, Europe was still knee-deep in the Medieval period. That's not the only thing they were knee-deep in. In his book, " The Day The Universe Changed ," the historian James Burke describes how the typical European townspeople lived:

School of European Culture and Languages Full-time and Part-time This programme gives you the opportunity to explore aspects of the rich western cultural and intellectual tradition from Greco-Roman Antiquity to modern times: how leading moral and social ideas have been framed in the meeting of Christianity with older, pagan cultures; how the major literary genres, with their origins in the ancient world, have evolved under the impact of successive historical influences; even how we are perhaps less modern than we think we are. These pages describe the common 'core' of the programme, while you can find the modules of your associated subject under the appropriate heading in this Prospectus. Although your choice of courses from the 'core' modules is open, we encourage you, at Stages 2 and 3, to study the features of the tradition that particularly link to your subject option; for instance European Realism for a modern language, or Understanding Other Cultures for Philosophy.

13. Museum Der Europäischen Kulturen - Museum Of European Cultures

    Extractions: Daguerreotype of a young couple, Hamburg, 1852 The Museum Europäischer Kulturen (Museum of European Cultures) is an important augmentation to Berlin's museums. Established in June 1999 it embraces the merged collections of the Museum für Volkskunde (Museum of Folklore) and the European holdings in the Museum für Völkerkunde (Museum of Ethnology) in Berlin. The concept of a museum of the history of European cultures complies with the present political situation: museums are endeavoured to play their role within the growing convergence of the European community. In its future collecting activity, research projects and exhibitions the Museum of European Cultures will trace cultural phenomena common to all of European lands and to specify their particular ethnic, regional and national characteristics. The Museum's first exhibition, "Cultural Contacts in Europe: the Fascination of Pictures", presents various aspects of the interrelation of European culture, as manifested in the production, dissemination and use of pictures. They demonstrate the reciprocal influence exerted by trade and travel, communication and confrontation. Pictures have traversed the boundaries of time and space, creating ties between the cultures.

15. The Ash Tree In Indo-European Culture
    The Ash Tree In Indoeuropean culture. Mankind Quarterly, Volume XXXII, Number 4,Summer 1992, pp. 323-336. Darl J. Dumont. Ash Tree in Indo-european culture (*).  
    http://www.musaios.com/ash.htm
    
    Extractions: Many species of Fraxinus, the ash tree, exude a sugary substance which the ancient Greeks called , i.e. honey. This substance was harvested commercially until the early part of this century, and is found on Fraxinus excelsior in northern Europe and Fraxinus ornus in the mountains of Greece. This fact sheds light on certain themes in classical literature - the idea of a golden age when men ate acorns and honey that dripped from trees, the idea that bees collect honey from the leaves and branches of trees, and that ash tree nymphs were nurses of the infant Zeus in the Cretan cave of Dicte. (They fed him honey). Also, a new etymology of the Greek word for ash tree is proposed in light of these connections. In Norse mythology certain details of the description of Yggdrasil, the world ash, also can be explained by the sugary property of ash trees. It is felt to rain honey on the world, and mead is said to flow in its branches. Again in Sanskrit literature certain beliefs are found which parallel the Greek and Norse ideas, for instance that honey rains down upon the world from the skies. Certain things that are said about the divine intoxicant

    http://www.jcpa.org/phas/phas-19.htm
    
    Extractions: No. 19 1 April 2004 / 10 Nissan 5764 The regular resurgence of European anti-Semitism after the Holocaust suggests that it is integral to European culture. This should not be construed falsely to mean that all Europeans are anti-Semites. In a similar manner, classical ballet is an expression of European culture, yet many Europeans find it boring, decadent or disgusting. This does not negate, however, that ballet is integral to European culture and has been practiced as a performing art for a long time. It originated in Europe, developed over many years, and is widely taught as well as frequently discussed by the cultural elites and the major media.
