Prayer and the Ancient City
Influences of Urban Space
Seiten
Welchen Einfluss hatte der städtische Raum auf das Gebet und damit verbundenes religiöses Denken und Glauben in den antiken Religionen vom 1. bis zum 6. Jahrhundert n. Chr.? Dieser Band versucht, den bisher üblichen Fokus auf die Formen und die Semantik des Gebets durch ein stadträumliches Modell zu ersetzen, das Gebete als Performanzen versteht, die in den städtischen Raum eingebettet und verkörpert sind, sowie als Texte, die Raumvorstellungen produzieren und von diesen inspiriert sind.
This volume is a first attempt to investigate the impact of urban space on prayers and related religious thought and belief in ancient religions from the first to the sixth century CE. Taking its lead from the spatial turn in scholarship, methodologically it is an attempt to replace the hitherto customary focus on the forms and semantics of prayer with an urban-spatial model. This model understands prayers as performances that are embedded and embodied in urban space as well as texts producing and inspired by imaginations of space. To allow for a broader comparison, this volume covers prayers and spaces of various religions all over the ancient Mediterranean, from Roman and North African polytheisms through early Christianity to Byzantine Christianity and early Islam.
