Before Copernicus: The Cultures and Contexts of Scientific Learning in the Fifteenth Century (McGill-Queen's Studies in the History of Ideas) edited by Rivka Feldhay, F. Jamil Ragep
English | June 12, 2017 | ISBN: 0773550097, 0773550100 | True EPUB | 368 pages | 3.1 MB
In 1984, Noel Swerdlow and Otto Neugebauer argued that Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) explained planetary motion by using mathematical devices and astronomical models originally developed by Islamic astronomers in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Was this a parallel development, or did Copernicus somehow learn of the work of his predecessors, and if so, how? And if Copernicus did use material from the Islamic world, how then should we understand the European context of his innovative cosmology?

Between Two Ancient Cultures: Comparison of the heroes of the Manas Epic and Ferdowsi's Shahnameh by Yusuf Emrah ILIK
English | February 26, 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08XNXDMXW | 186 pages | EPUB | 0.32 Mb
Two works in which this similarity is clearly observed are the world-famous "Manas", the favorite of the Kyrgyz, and the "Shahnameh" of Ferdowsi, which is the leading literary product of Persian nations in the X century. Since Manas Epic and Shahnameh both carry clues about Turkish-Iranian life, they have an importance beyond discussion in the history of world literature. In this study, the importance of analyzing epics "Manas" and "Shahnameh" in terms of present-day will be revealed by providing reasons. Epics are the first of these reasons because of their timeliness. At the moment, as all civilizations arrive at the door of a new era concerning the development of their culture and national identity, it is among these reasons to investigate the experience of the past and the extremely sensitive interest of the two nations of Farsi and Turkic, which are among the leading civilized nations of the world, and globally known in the past and present, to the myth and legend.

Martin Butler, Albrecht Hausmann, Anton Kirchhofer, "Precarious Alliances: Cultures of Participation in Print and Other Media"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 3837623181 | PDF | pages: 317 | 2.1 mb
Starting from an analysis of practices of participation in contemporary print and other media, the volume opens up a historical perspective, probing the potential of the concept of participatory cultures for the exploration of past forms of collaboration between individual and collective actors (i.e. authors, editors, publishers, fans, critics etc.). In doing so, the volume sheds new light on the historically, culturally, and medially specific forms and functions as well as on the economic, political and institutional parameters that contributed to the emergence and transformation of what turn out to be precarious alliances.
