The reception of Hafiz / druk 1

the sweet poetic language of Hafiz in nineteenth and twentieth century persia

Paperback || Bahman Solati || Leiden University Press

"For us non-Iranian readers of Hafiz's 14th-century ghazal poems, Iranian

attitudes toward the premier lyric poet in the 1,000-year history of Persian

literature, are almost as intriguing as Hafiz's poetry itself. First is the

inclination of Iranian readers to find deep, spiritual meaning in that poetry.

Second is their personal identification with what they perceive as Hafiz's

philosophy. Third is their linking of Iranian cultural identity with Hafiz's life and works to the point where some educa...

Mirrors of Entrapment and Emancipation

forugh Farrokhzad and Sylvia Plath

Paperback || Leila Rahimi Bahmany || Leiden University Press

Irreverent Persia

invective, satirical and burlesque poetry from the origins to the timurid period (10th to 15th century)

Paperback || Riccardo Zipoli || Leiden University Press

Its principal genres - invective, satire and burlesque - have been very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major a...

an archaeological survey

Paperback || Michalis Karambinis || Leiden University Press

Historical research concerning the medieval era is sufficiently developed but archaeological research on the medieval Aegean has mainly focused on matters of art and architecture. In fact, we have an overall picture of the medieval and post-medieval periods for only a few islands of the Aegean. This ASLU v...

Terrorists on Trial

a performative perspective

2016 || Paperback || Beatrice de Graaf e.a. || Leiden University Press

Terrorism trials are an exceptional opportunity for better understanding and, hence, countering terrorism, since they are often the only place where most if not all of the actors of a terrorist incident meet again, and where the media report and broadcast their respective accounts. A nexus between terrorist violence, law enforcement and public opinion, terrorism trials showcase justice in progress and thus demonstrate to the world how terrorism suspects are treated under national law.

Archaeological studies Leiden University (ASLU) The Mesoamerican codex re-entangled

production, use and re-use of pre-colonial documents

Ludo Snijders || Leiden University Press

This innovative work attempts to piece together the cultural biography of Mesoamerica's precolonial codices. Today less than twenty extant manuscripts are all that remains of the Mesoamerican book-making tradition. These pictographic and hieroglyphic texts have often been studied for their content, but in doing so their nature as physical objects faded into the background. By tracing the paths these books have followed over the past five hundred years, this study acquaints the reader with the...

Spatial patterns in landscape archaeology

A GIS Procedure to Study Settlement Organization in Early Roman Colonial Territories

Paperback || Anita Casarotto || Leiden University Press

This 43th volume of the ASLU series presents a useful GIS procedure to study settlement patterns in landscape archaeology. In several Mediterranean regions archaeological sites have been mapped by fieldwalking surveys, producing large amounts of data. These legacy site-based survey data represent an important resource to study ancient settlement organization. Methodological procedures are necessary to cope with the limits of these data, and more importantly with the distortions on data patter...
