English to French: The Babylonian World General field: Other Detailed field: History
Source text - English As the layers of the foundations of modern science and mathematics and the builders of a towering, monumental urban city, the Babylonians were by far the most insistent people of the ancient world in addressing an audience beyond their time. This lavishly illustrated volume reflects the modernity of this advanced and prescient civilization with thirty-eight brand new essays from leading international scholars who view this world power of the Ancient Near East with a fresh and contemporary lens.
Drawing from the growing database of cuneiform tablets, epigraphic research, and the most recent archaeological advances in the field, Gwendolyn Leick’s collection serves as the definitive reference resource as well as an introductory text for university students.
By bringing into focus areas of concern typical for our own time – such as ecology, urbanism, power relations, plurality and complexity – this essential volume offers a variety of perspectives on certain key topics to reflect the current academic approaches and focus. These shifting viewpoints and diverse angles onto the ‘Babylonian World’ result in a truly kaleidoscopic view, which reveals patterns and bright fragments of this ‘lost world’ in unexpected ways.
From discussions of agriculture and rural life to the astonishing walled city of Babylon with its massive ramparts and towering ziggurats, from Babylonian fashion and material culture to its spiritual world, indivisible from that of the everyday, The Babylonian World is a sweeping and ambitious survey for students and specialists of this great civilization.
Gwendolyn Leick is presently senior lecturer at Chelsea College of Art and Design. A specialist in the Ancient Near East, she has published extensively on the topic, including The Dictionary of Ancient Near Eastern Architecture and Who’s Who in the Ancient Near East.
Translation - French Bâtisseurs d'une cité immense et monumentale ayant déposés leur strate de connaissances dans les fondements de la science moderne et des mathématiques, les Babyloniens étaient de loin le peuple le plus déterminé du monde antique, à aller de l'avant. Agréé de trente-huit essais fraîchement écrits par les savants internationaux les plus réputés qui voient cette puissance mondiale du moyen orient médiéval d'un œil frais et contemporain, cet ouvrage richement illustré reflète la modernité de cette civilisation avancée et intuitive.
Tirée de la base de données grandissante de tablettes cunéiformes, de recherches épigraphiques et des avancées archéologiques récentes, la collection de Gwendolyn Leick est la référence en la matière et sert également de base textuelle pour les étudiants en université.
En s'intéressant de plus près aux domaines qui de nos jours sont sources de préoccupations tels que l'écologie, l'urbanisme, les relations de pouvoir, la pluralité et la complexité, ce volume indispensable offre une variété de perspectives sur certains sujet clés pour nous donner un aperçu des approches académiques actuelles. Ces différents points de vue et ces axes d'étude du "Monde Babylonien" nous dressent une vue kaléidoscopique révélant de manière inattendue des scènes et des pièces hautes en couleur de ce "Monde perdu".
Des discutions sur l'agriculture et sur la vie rurale à l'incroyable cité de Babylone murée de ses massifs remparts et de ses imposantes Ziggourats, de la culture des matériaux et de la mode babylonienne à son monde spirituel indissociable de la vie quotidienne, le « Monde Babylonien » est une étude ambitieuse et de grande envergure pour les étudiants ainsi que les spécialistes de cette grande civilisation.
Gwendolyn Leick est actuellement Maitre de conférences à l'institut des Arts et du Design de Chelsea. Spécialiste du Proche Orient Médiéval, elle a publié de nombreux ouvrages sur le sujet, dont le « Dictionnaire de l'architecture du Proche Orient Médiéval » et « Qui est Qui au Proche Orient Médiéval ».
