Isis in a Global Empire
  • Greek Identity through Egyptian Religion in Roman Greece

  • In Isis in a Global Empire, Lindsey Mazurek explores the growing popularity of Egyptian gods and its impact on Greek identity in the Roman Empire. Bringing together archaeological, art historical, and textual evidence, she demonstrates how the diverse devotees of gods such as Isis and Sarapis considered Greek ethnicity in ways that differed significantly from those of the Greek male elites whose opinions have long shaped our understanding of Roman Greece. These ideas were expressed in various ways - sculptures of Egyptian deities rendered in a Greek style, hymns to Isis that grounded her in Greek geography and mythology, funerary portraits that depicted devotees dressed as Isis, and sanctuaries that used natural and artistic features to evoke stereotypes of the Nile. Mazurek's volume offers a fresh, material history of ancient globalization, one that highlights the role that religion played in the self-identification of provincial Romans and their place in the Mediterranean world.

  • Summary

    Chapter 5 explores the implications of the Laryngeal Articulator Model for phonology and the place of voice quality in phonological analysis. The Phonological Potentials Model (PPM) is explained, and synergistic and anti-synergistic relations are mapped in diagrams. Earlier phonological approaches that do not consider the laryngeal articulator are reviewed, while the PPM demonstrates how cooperative lingual-laryngeal activity can be accommodated in phonological analysis. Case studies of languages having lower-vocal-tract contrasts (vocal register, pharyngealization in click languages) give an idea of the network of articulatory relationships that form the grounding of phonological representations. We highlight vocalic-harmony (so-called [ATR]), syllabic, and tense–lax registers in West African, Northeast African and Southeast Asian languages. The case of Southern Wakashan pharyngeal genesis illustrates the role of voice quality in sound change.
