Vergangenheit als Konstruktion von Legitimation / Archaismus im Kontext dreidimensionaler Bildwerke im ptolemäischen ÄgyptenRenner, Torsten 20 December 2024 (has links)
Der Rückgriff auf die Vergangenheit ist ein sich wiederholendes Phänomen der antiken Kulturgeschichte. Zur Umsetzung des Konzeptes Archaismus bedarf es eines Aussageträgers. In diesem Zusammenhang nimmt die Bildkunst eine entscheidende Rolle ein. Die Bildwerke waren auf sozialpolitische Konzepte ausgerichtet und dienten in ihrem Kontext als Aussageträger visueller Kommunikation. Jener Sachverhalt eröffnet die Frage nach einer Applikation des Konzeptes Archaismus im Kontext ptolemäischer Herrscherstatuen der Zeit um 330–30 v. Chr. Ziel des interdisziplinären Dissertationsvorhabens ist es, dreidimensionale Bildwerke ptolemäischer Herrscher in ein retrospektives Verhältnis zum rezipierten "historischen Vorbild" der altägyptischen Bildkunst zu bringen. Des Weiteren wird auf die Gegebenheit von Transferprozessen zur technischen Umsetzung eines zu rekonstruierenden Kopiervorganges Bezug genommen. Der zu untersuchende Zeitraum umfasst das Alte Reich um 2500 v. Chr. bis zum Ende der ptolemäischen Epoche um 30 v. Chr., der zu untersuchende Kulturraum Unter-, Mittel- und Oberägypten. / Recourse to the past is a recurring phenomenon in ancient cultural history. In order to realise the concept of archaism, a means of expression is required. In this context, pictorial art plays a decisive role. The pictorial works were orientated towards socio-political concepts and served as a vehicle for visual communication in their context. This fact opens up the question of an application of the concept of archaism in the context of Ptolemaic rulers' statues from the period around 330-30 B.C. The aim of the interdisciplinary dissertation project is to bring three-dimensional sculptures of Ptolemaic rulers into a retrospective relationship with the received “historical model” of ancient Egyptian pictorial art. Furthermore, reference will be made to the existence of transfer processes for the technical realisation of a copying process to be reconstructed. The period to be analysed comprises the Old Kingdom around 2500 BC to the end of the Ptolemaic period around 30 BC, the cultural area to be investigated Lower, Middle and Upper Egypt. Read more

A Pragmatic Standard of Legal ValidityTyler, John 2012 May 1900 (has links)
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law.
These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism.
In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method.
This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior.
The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent.
The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will.
Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil. Read more
