- Book Synopsis
- Power, Gender, and Mobility is situated at the intersection of diverse but complementary approaches to the investigation of prehistoric culture and society: combining perspectives from linguistics, archaeology, anthropology, and history of religion, it seeks to explore the dynamics of power, gender, and mobility - three concepts that are essential for a profound understanding of the historically attested Indo-European-speaking societies and of the prehistoric society reflected by Proto-Indo-European. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of topics ranging from gender roles and female onomastics to power structures and the role of poets as social brokers, from Indo-European legal language and initiation rites to matrimonial practices and age-based social hierarchies. It provides fresh interpretations and new approaches to known material as well as novel explorations and unprecedented analyses of new data. Contributors: Jan N. Bremmer, José Luis García Ramón, Riccardo Ginevra, Stefan Höfler, Rune Iversen, Peter Jackson Rova, Michael Janda, Kim McCone, Mikkel N¢rtoft, Birgit Anette Olsen, Ulla Remmer, Jil Schermutzki, and Michael Weiss.
