A Companion to Sardinian History, 500–1500
The first English-language survey of medieval and modern Sardinia, this volume offers access to long-awaited European scholarship on a critical missing link in the Mediterranean. Based on new archaeological fieldwork and current research from a variety of academic perspectives— architecture, colonialism, ecclesiastic history, cartography, demography, law, musicology, politics, trade, and urban planning—the authors provide the foundation to incorporate Sardinia into a broader European history. Among other contributions, archaeology adds critical insight into the relationship between Christian, Muslim, and Jewish inhabitants of Sardinia, through examinations of urban and rural settlement patterns. This volume aims to stimulate further analysis of the critical role Sardinia has played as one of the largest and most strategically located islands in the Mediterranean. Contributors are Laura Biccone, Nathalie Bouloux, Henri Bresc, Marco Cadinu, Roberto Coroneo, Laura Galoppini, Henrike Haug, Michelle Hobart, Rossana Martorelli, Giampaolo Mele, Marco Milanese, Giovanni Murgia, Gian Giacomo Ortu, Daniela Rovina, Olivetta Schena, Cecilia Tasca, Raimondo Turtas, and Corrado Zedda.
A Companion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean
A Companion that examines together two pivotal periods of Greek archaeology and offers a rich analysis of early Greek culture A Companion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean offers an original and inclusive review of two key periods of Greek archaeology, which are typically treated separately—the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. It presents an in-depth exploration of the society and material culture of Greece and the Mediterranean, from the 14th to the early 7th centuries BC. The two-volume companion sets Aegean developments within their broader geographic and cultural context, and presents the wide-ranging interactions with the Mediterranean. The companion brid...
Guida della Sardegna per veri sardi
Aneddoti, curiosità e racconti sorprendenti sull’isola nel cuore del Mediterraneo Spesso si sente dire che la vera Sardegna sia quella dell’interno. Ma l’isola ha una cultura antichissima e affermare una cosa simile significa cancellare qualche millennio di Storia. Il luogo comune è nato per abbatterne un altro, quello della regione considerata per il “solo mare”, diventando presto una gabbia ancor più riduttiva per un mondo così complesso e sfuggente. Il vero sardo lo sa bene, ed evita il folclore fuori contesto più di quanto faccia a ferragosto con le spiagge affollate. Il vero sardo è consapevole della propria molteplicità, della Sardegna di mare e di stagno, di piana e m...

Maghe e streghe di Sardegna
Dalla fata di Mannorri alla strega di Guasila: le leggendarie custodi dei segreti dell’isola La Sardegna, complice anche il suo lungo isolamento, è senza dubbio la regione più misteriosa d’Italia, un’isola pervasa da credenze e ritualità del tutto uniche: magie, segreti e pratiche tramandate per secoli, soprattutto tra la popolazione femminile. In questo libro, Pierluigi Serra disegna un affascinante percorso alla scoperta delle maghe e delle streghe più famose della tradizione sarda: figure ammantate di mistero e timore, depositarie di conoscenze arcane passate di madre in figlia e salvaguardate dalla repressione di inquisitori e bigotti. Non mancano però anche delle figure masch...

Routledge Handbook of Seascapes
Seascape studies have developed in response to questions arising from composite correlations such as coastal, island and marine research, social requirements, landscape design and planning, marine ecology, and environment and resource management. This global volume is the first comprehensive overview to provide a solid foundation on the concept of seascape, with the latest research findings from leading experts across a variety of fields, offering a holistic approach to seascape linking nature with culture, and theory with practice. Divided into six parts, it includes over 30 chapters from contributors around the world. Pioneering methods with illustrated case studies from the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, North Sea, North America and Asia serve as examples for future seascape development, conservation and governance. An important and extremely timely resource, the Routledge Handbook of Seascapes provides academics, practitioners, NGOs, consultants and government officials with a broad overview of current research and practice for future application and advance worldwide.

Punctuated Insularity
Sardinia preserves an exceptional record of its Final Neolithic and Copper Age cultures, with a diverse crafts repertory, henges and dolmens, statue-menhirs, chamber tombs - and the only known ziggurat in Europe. The present study provides a synthesis in English for a scholarly readership interested in Mediterranean adaptations during this earliest period of metallurgy. As elsewhere, the infusion of metallurgy had profound implications, as island cultures underwent a series of transformations tied directly or indirectly to it. Spanning two millennia, these changes are studied in terms of material cultures known as Ozieri, Sub-Ozieri, Filigosa-Abealzu, Monte Claro and Bell Beaker. A more overarching finding from this review is the periodic engagement between these cultures and geographically distant ones. Such punctuations of the insular condition had long-lasting effects on local expression, and some thoughts on how this might contribute to understandings of concepts like identity formation are presented by way of a conclusion.This book is a companion volume to The Sardinian Neolithic: An Archaeology of the 6th and 5th Millennia BCE by Gary Webster (2019).
