Women of Babylon: Gender and Represenation in Mesopotamia
By Zainab Bahrani, who is a young Assyriologist to be commended. She did write a very good article on Inanna in Nin - the annual journal on Women and the Ancient Near East, who also did a brilliant presentation in the 47e RAI of Helsinki. Definetly, worth having a looooooooong look at!
Library Binding - 224 pages (July 2001)
Routledge; ISBN: 0415218306 ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.76 x 9.50 x 6.44
Editorial Reviews:
Women of Babylon is a much-needed historical/art historical study that investigates the concepts of femininity which prevailed in Assyro-Babylonian society. Zainab Bahrani's detailed analysis of how the culture of ancient Mesopotamia defined sexuality and gender roles both in, and through, representation is enhanced by a rich selection of visual material extending from 6500 BC - 1891 AD.

Re: Women of Babylon: Gender and Represenation in Mesopotami
Oh coooooooolllll!!
I haven't even read the book and I know I like this woman already!! She's speaking our language, Lish!
Obviously, since this work just literally is off the press, it won't be in the library. However, I'll wait a few weeks and then try to do an interlibrary loan on it, unless it's inexpensive enough to warrant getting it right away Laughs because I know how dangerous we are around book stores!!
Re: Women of Babylon: Gender and Represenation in Mesopotami
Ack!! Just checked Amazon... it's $75.00, so I'll definitely be looking to get this work on interlibrary loan!
Re: Women of Babylon: Gender and Represenation in Mesopotami
I checked the price as well and... snif snif can´t get it either... as yet. sighs
But... I talked a bit with Ms. or Dr. Bahrani and will email her with my poster... and ask her for her article for Helsinki for Gateways!!!!
Incidentally, I got two days ago a brilliant article on Ninurta, which was also presented in Helsinki. We are definetly going mainstream. We were always mainstream... and Frank and Dubsar and Necr thanks a million for all your sci-correctedness always!

Re: Women of Babylon: Gender and Represenation in Mesopotami
Postman has just delivered my copy of Women of Babylon: Gender and Representation by Zaira Barwani, together with Mesopotamian Religion by J. Bottéro
Will devour Ms. Barwani´s chapter on Ishtar tonight. I guess she is expanding on her article in NIN magazine on the same topic...
Saw Ms. Barwani in Helsinki. She is veeeeeery good.
I will tell you all about this chapter as soon as I finish it!

Re: Great Books on ANE
Religion in Ancient Mesopotamia by Professor Jean Bottéro, published by The University of Chicago Press, 2001, joins its predecessor by Thorkild Jacobsen´s The Treasures of the Darkness as the two fundamental resources available to understand better religion and the religious thought in Ancient Mesopotamia.
Jean Bottéro is the Dean of French Assyriology and a brilliant author who possesses a style that is accessible without losing the depth and breath of its subject.
I intend to cover many of the issues approached by his work which are seldom understood even by pagans such as the question of henotheism, a form sophisticated polytheism, which shows focus on a specific deity without losing perspective of the pantheon the god/godess belongs to. Lack of understanding of how henotheism functions is at the root of much misinterpretation of the real character of Mesopotamian religion and how it evolved through the millennia. Bottéro makes his points on advanced polytheism in a way which is easy to understand.
Have you ever seen how Sitchin or related ill-informed and untrained Mesos focus on specific deities and lose sight of the pantheon?
I warmly recommend Professor Bottéro´s book and promise that you will hear a lot more on this masterwork here in our board.
Best regards,
Lishtar

I look forward to hearing more from you on henotheism! This is a term I haven't heard about before.
... Just popped into the college library web site here (where my sweetie works) and submitted an interlibrary loan request for Bottero's book. I am so lucky to have easy access to this!
Shamhat
In a taunt is its taunt; in a curse is its curse, (such is) the constant renewal of destiny. Sumerian Proverb
Professor Bottéro on the Sumerian "problem"...
Taken from Religion in Mesopotamia, Chicago University Press, 2001 (highly recommended ):
"The other significant event that is believed to have occurred around the same time was the arrival of the Sumerians. (Lish´s Note: first significant event was irrigated agriculture) We are still unable and there is very little chance that we ever will be able, to satisfactorily identify this population, whose origins are so murky, or to link it to an ethic, cultural or linguistic branch of any kind. Some scholars see the Sumerians as descendants of one of the groups that had inhabited the land for varying amounts of time. That hypothesis, however, seems to collide above all with the famous legendary or mythical tradition of the Seven Sages, according to which the southern population, which was still rough-hewn and wild, had been initiated into all that constituted civilized life by strange beings who came from the sea. We can easily be persuaded - since myths often arise out of ancient, thinly disguised memories - that the legend describes some form of immigration, apparently peaceful, which must have introduced a culturally superior population who, due to their superiority, greatly raised the level of life there. It is thus easier to imagine them arriving from, or through, the maritime region, perhaps by following the Iranian shores of the Persian Gulf. They would then have settled near the water in Lower Mesopotamia, which would be later called the Land of Sumer - thus explaining their name. But where did they come from? This we will never know."
Pages 8 and 9.
Brilliant, isn´t it?
And rings so simple and true... as all great thoughts always are!
My candle is still burning in the circle of Goddesses.
May peace return in all levels and may the children, women and the old of Afhganistan be safe to grow in self-determination and freedom in all levels to rebuild their contry!
May the countries in the international coalition stay together
May terror be erradicated so that we can trust one another
May the world become united in peace and prosperity as One!

Re: Great Books on ANE
Venus, the Evolution of a the Goddess and Her planet, by Ronnie Dale Dreyer (Aquarian, an impring of HarperCollins Publishers, 1994, Northampton, UK) is perhaps one of the only books on astrology I have, but it is warmly recommended here.
Basically, the book unites the astrological aspects of the Planet Venus with a detailed analysis of the Goddess Venus through time and space, covering the original symbolism of the planet since the beginning of times. Although the author focuses on the attribute of fertility, power and abundance and does not mention the dynamic non-maternal, it is an illuminating study on the evolution of both the planet and the archetype from the standpoint of modern and ancient astronomy and astrology.
The second chapter of the book covers Mesopotamian Goddesses and antiquity, with a detailed analysis of the Cycle of Inanna based on Kramer and Wolkstein, as well as it contains a section of the Venus Tablet, which can be dated back from 1646 to 1626 to the reign of Amisaduqa, dealing with a series of 59 omens based on the periods of visibility of the Morning and Evening Star. This material was translated by Professor Erica Reiner of the University of Chicago.
The section on the Venus of Renaissance is quite original as well.
It is a good recommendation for one´s growing library on Mesopotamia and the Goddess.
Enjoy!
