Extractions: Based on Julian Scaff's new edition of Benjamin's text. "In principle a work of art has always been reproducible. Man-made artifacts could always be imitated by men. Replicas were made by pupils in practice of their craft, by masters for diffusing their works, and, finally, by third parties in the pursuit of gain. Mechanical reproduction of a work of art, however, represents something new." Benjamin explains what's new. Bobbie, Gloria (Plattsburgh, USA) Capitalism isn't just an economic or political system, it pervades every aspect of the culture in countries which have adopted it as a way of making a living. "Capitalism affects every aspect of our lives, from the way our children are born to the way our dead are laid to rest. It affects how we think, what we wear, what we eat, where we live, what we buy and how we buy it. There is no part of our lives which is not in some way affected by capitalism." This site is dedicated to the study of this phenomenon. You'll find courses, resources and a potpourri section on themes like cooking, travel and shopping. The site is home to "Anthropological Perspectives on Global Issues", a Global Issues webcourse, taught through SUNY Plattsburgh, which deals with issues prevalent within the culture of capitalism. It is designed as a learning center which supports the course and research into the culture of capitalism.

Extractions: Leros in Greek LEROS The goddesses of antiquity, who were distinguished for their beauty, chose illustrious sites to build their places. -This is also what ARTEMIS did, the goddess of hunt. -She chose an extremely beautiful island, lying in the blue water of the Aegean, with vegetation a lacy coastline, leeward bays and kind-hearted people and there set up her throne. -She chose Leros. A truly divine choice. FROM THE DEPTHS OF TIME TO THE PRESENT Its strategic position in the southeast Aegean has given Leros a past rich in history. The first human traces on the island have been detected at Partheni and belong to the Neolithic period. This was an entire settlement and it was been dated from 8000 to 3000 B.C. Carians, Leleges, Phoenicians and Cretans (led by Radamanthys, the brother of King Minos) were its first inhabitants. In their tempestuous descent the Dorians reached Leros and conquered it. Homer has it taking part in the Trojan War along with Kalymnos and later the historian Herodotus mentions that it developed close political, intellectual and commercial ties with the Ionians of Miletos. During the 5 th century Leros flowered intellectually. That was the period of the satirical poet Dimodikos and the historian Pherekydes. After the Persian Wars Leros become part of the Athenian Alliance. The forces of Alexander the Great also passed through Leros. This is confirmed by funerary steles and coins from that period that were found on the island.

Extractions: The Municipality of Mithimna (Molyvos) When somebody travels around Greece, he can find almost everywhere a charming harmonious marriage between history and natural beauty. The Municipality of Mithimna has the privilege to be one of these places. The Municipality of Mithimna has 1500 inhabitants. It is 62 kilometres from the island' s capital. This Municipality is consisted of five villages: the village of Vafio, the village of Sykamnia, the village of Skala Sykamnias, the village of Lepetymnos and the village of Argenos. At the Municipality of Mithimna, we will find a Port Authority, a Custom House, a Police Station, a Financial Service, a Post Office, a Telegraph Office, a Branch Office of the National Bank of Greece, a local Office of the Agricultural Service, a Primary School and a Conference Centre. The ruins of the ancient quay show to us that the ancient port was situated at the same place, where the new one is. The main cemetery of the ancient town of Mithimna was situated to the south of the city' s wall. The graves, which have been found along the road that starts from Petra and goes to Mithimna, are a proof that this road already existed in the past. Graves have been also found out of the other sides of the wall too. Ruins that belong to a town reveal that the town had been later expanded out of the fortified zone, towards the south. As it seems from the ruins of the ancient aqueduct' s conduits, Mithimna was being supplied with water from the springs situated on the slopes of the mountain

Proverbs Of A Culture By Julie Lovell cited date back to Ancient greece and biblical from olde English and Europeantraditions or more been discussed reveal an Australian culture that values http://www.shoal.net.au/~seabreeze/prov/julie.html
Extractions: reflect much of its attitudes This essay shall explore the concept that the proverbs of a culture reflect much of its attitudes. Referring to some thirty English language proverbs commonly used in Australia today - selected from a seemingly inexhaustible supply - this dissertation discusses how they may be seen to reflect Australian cultural values. Many of the proverbs cited date back to Ancient Greece and biblical times, yet still enjoy currency today. Firstly, the definition of a proverb shall be explored, before entering a discussion of the cogent examples and how they may reflect Australian culture. In conclusion, it shall be argued that while proverbs may provide an insight into some aspects of a culture, similar values exist across many cultures and in other times. Firstly, it is imperative to define what constitutes a proverb. According to the Oxford English Dictionary (2001, on-line) a proverb is a short pithy saying in common and recognised use; a concise sentence, often metaphorical or alliterative in form, which is held to express some truth ascertained by experience or observation and familiar to all. The definition expands to quote Howell (1659): Proverbs may not improperly be called the Philosophy of the Common Peeple, or, according to Aristotle, the truest Reliques of old Philosophy; and Souths (1823) observation: What is a proverb, but the experience and observation of several ages, gathered and summed up into one expression? (Oxford, 2001).

Extractions: Turkish Culture Biblical Anatolia Atatürk Regions Did You Know ? ... Turkey Map ART A transition from Islamic artistic traditions under the Ottoman Empire to a more secular , Western orientation has taken place in Turkey.
