Although the sacred, none of people know who is buried and what the meaning of these remains.

Method, Logic, and the Debate about Western Zhou Government: A Reply to Lothar von Falkenhausen

In response to Lothar von Falkenhausen’s contention that the Western Zhou government was hopelessly stuck in a kinship structure that operated in accordance with the order of aristocratic lineages, the present paper offers new theoretical grounds as well as new inscriptional evidence showing that the Western Zhou government was a bureaucracy invented precisely to allow the Zhou king to overcome or manipulate the restrictions imposed by a kinship structure, in order to achieve actual political and administrative goals. This is the central debate in the study of the Western Zhou government as the fountainhead of the long-standing Chinese political culture and institutions. To refute the ill-conceived “anthropological model” of the Western Zhou government, the paper carefully examines the logical confusions, the wrong methodological choice, and the misinformation about contemporaneous bronze inscriptions as well as about current archaeology exhibited in Falkenhausen’s review, thus reconfirming bases for a correct understanding of the Western Zhou government already offered in Bureaucracy and the State in Early China (Cambridge 2008). Furthermore, the paper discusses intellectual norms in book reviews in the West and China and offers new insights into the date of the Ling group of vessels, a central problem in the dating of Western Zhou bronzes. The paper provides an important cornerstone for future constructive studies of the Western Zhou government and the issue of bureaucracy in Chinese history.

The Order of the Kushite Kings According to Sources from the Eastern Desert and Thebes. Or: Shabataka was here first!

Abstract The correct order of the first two kings of the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty has been the subject of a growing debate since Michael Bányai proposed a revision of the traditional chronological model in 2013. By placing Shabataka1 before Shabaka Bányai challenged the commonly accepted view according to which it was Shabaka who established the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty and secured Kushite control over all of Egypt after having re-conquered the North and disposed of his adversary Bocchoris of the Twenty-Fourth Dynasty. Since then Bányai’s proposal of modifying the sequence of the Kushite kings, thus making Shabataka Bocchoris’ opponent, has received a growing number of supporters who have brought forward additional arguments in favour of it. The present article introduces new arguments based on a careful analysis of prosopographic, archaeological, and epigraphic data from the Eastern Desert and Thebes—especially relating to the Kushite Nile Level Records at Karnak—which provide the strongest evidence for the sequence “Shabaka—Shabataka” hitherto adduced.

Intérpretes e notáveis da literatura e da cultura popular do Maranhão

Propomos neste artigo refletir sobre o trabalho de construcao de “panteoes” e as praticas de eternizacao de “vultos” examinando duas publicacoes que se configuram em “galerias de notaveis”. Analisamos Perfis Academicos e Perfis de Cultura Popular, ponderando sobre: (i) a posicao social e politica dos agentes (biografos e biografados), definida em funcao dos recursos sobre os quais assentam sua “reputacao” e de inscricoes nas lutas culturais e politicas; (ii) as estrategias de estruturacao das obras, observando a selecao e a hierarquizacao dos casos, o espaco disponibilizado, as classificacoes atribuidas, entre outras; (iii) e os conteudos, as adjetivacoes, as definicoes, enfim, as representacoes explicitadas nos pre-textos e textos laudatorios. Com isso, podemos apreender os condicionantes de afirmacao, as logicas de atuacao e os mecanismos de consagracao mobilizados por agentes que se constituem como porta-vozes autorizados, bem como as multiplas tramas de notabilizacao de “interpretes” da cultura e da memoria regional no e do Maranhao. Palavras-chave: cultura, interpretes, panteao.

La presencia de Augusto en Hispania y las fechas de la reorganización provincial

Las fechas citadas en este estudio remiten a la presencia de Augusto en la Peninsula Iberica con el fin de reorganizar los territorios y pueblos hispanos tras la conquista romana. Esta nueva organizacion incluia la division provincial, que probablemente fue tardia y, por supuesto, no se realizo de una sola vez, sino tras varios intentos, tal como puede verse en el Edicto de El Bierzo del ano 15 a.C., cuya interpretacion deberia ser revisada. Se aportan aqui nuevos argumentos que cuestionan a los legati citados en este texto epigrafico como autenticos gobernadores provinciales.
