Abstract The 15 articles in this interdisciplinary volume examine facets of the history of asymmetrical dependencies via representations of dependency in a wide range of (factual and fictional) text types, including inscriptions from Egyptian tombs, biblical narratives, novels from antiquity, the Middle High German Rolandslied, Ottoman court records, travelogues, the American gift book The Liberty Bell, and oral narratives by Caribbean Hindu women.
AbstractList The 15 articles in this interdisciplinary volume examine facets of the history of asymmetrical dependencies via representations of dependency in a wide range of (factual and fictional) text types, including inscriptions from Egyptian tombs, biblical narratives, novels from antiquity, the Middle High German Rolandslied, Ottoman court records, travelogues, the American gift book The Liberty Bell, and oral narratives by Caribbean Hindu women.
Given that strong asymmetrical dependencies have shaped human societies throughout history, this kind of social relation has also left its traces in many types of texts. Using written and oral narratives in attempts to reconstruct the history of asymmetrical dependency comes along with various methodological challenges, as the 15 articles in this interdisciplinary volume illustrate. They focus on a wide range of different (factual and fictional) text types, including inscriptions from Egyptian tombs, biblical stories, novels from antiquity, the Middle High German Rolandslied, Ottoman court records, captivity narratives, travelogues, the American gift book The Liberty Bell, and oral narratives by Caribbean Hindu women. Most of the texts discussed in this volume have so far received comparatively little attention in slavery and dependency studies. The volume thus also seeks to broaden the archive of texts that are deemed relevant in research on the histories of asymmetrical dependencies, bringing together perspectives from disciplines such as Egyptology, theology, literary studies, history, and anthropology.
Given that strong asymmetrical dependencies have shaped human societies throughout history, this kind of social relation has also left its traces in many types of texts.Using written and oral narratives in attempts to reconstruct the history of asymmetrical dependency comes along with various methodological challenges, as the 15 articles in this.
