Yannis Sakellarakis Athens 2013

Κύθηρα. Ο Άγιος Γεώργιος στο Βουνό. Μινωική λατρεία. Νεότεροι χρόνοι Είναι προφανές ότι η ανασκαφή του ασύλητου μινωικού ιερού κορυφής στον Άγιο Γεώργιο στο Βουνό έδωσε μοναδικά στοιχεία για τη μελέτη της λατρείας σε αυτού του τύπου τα ιερά. Το γεγονός είναι βέβαια αξιοσημείωτο, λόγω της ιδιάζουσας μορφής της λατρείας στα ιερά κορυφής, δεδομένης δηλαδή της κλειστής μινωικής ανακτορικής ή και οικιακής λατρείας.

Writing as Material Practice: Substance, surface and medium

Edited by Kathryn E. Piquette & Ruth D. Whitehouse London 2013

Writing as Material Practice: Substance, surface and medium Writing as Material Practice grapples with the issue of writing as a form of material culture in its ancient and more recent manifestations, and in the contexts of production and consumption.
