In this article, we focus firstly on the image of women as reflected in medieval illuminated manuscripts, where portrayals raged from mainly mystics in convents, saints, mothers, damsels in distress, labourers in the fields and even women of ill character. Apart from that, we mention the role of women as writers and illustrators of Manuscripts. Secondly, we have a brief look at modern western art, based on the heritage of medieval art, that carries on even further the stereotyped image of women, systematically objectifying them. Thirdly and finally, we examine how this has influenced today's advertising depictions of women, outlined with distinctive characteristics. The visual discourse emphasizes certain physical and moral traits based again on clichés, stressing mostly decadent passive attitudes and poses or submissive roles. The present research is quantitative and qualitative, based on case studies and referred in articles on Medieval Illuminated Art and Today's Advertising and Mass Media.","PeriodicalId":37287,"journal":{"name":"Anastasis","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82261597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its diverse ecosystem and various latitudes, this province has been a suitable platform for human settlement in different periods of human life. According to archeological evidence, the region of Ardabil has been inhabited since the 1st millennium BC. The whole area is covered with ancient hills, or in other words, settlement areas, which were once fortresses or towns or villages. According to the existing ancient monuments, this region was one of the leaders of this civilization in the early days and the beginning of the formation of human civilizations, especially in the field of pre-historical civilizations, and this situation has continued during historical periods. As information and historical documents show, this region has played an effective and important role in attracting civilizations and transferring it to the other side, as well as spreading its civilization to the adjacent areas, as this has been one of the most important centers of civilization during the Sassanid era. In the Islamic era, it had a special position. In any case, although the evidence from this area is very rare, there is no doubt that today, a wide variety of ancient monuments from each of the past civilizations cover the entire plain. Considering the above points, it seems that the Ardabil region is a hidden and covered page of the history of Iran and will be the solution to deciphering ambiguous events,being seen as a possible means of communication among known events. The purpose of this paper is to show the physical and archeological nature and the dark and hidden corners of rural and urban settlements such as Viyand, Guran and Yel Suyi (which unfortunately have only a few traces left today). This research is a descriptive-analytical study based on library, documentary, and field studies.","PeriodicalId":37287,"journal":{"name":"Anastasis","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74823902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In art, there are several recurring themes centred on the human body, such as: the death of the body versus the immortality of the soul, the young body as a symbol of beauty versus the aged body, the ability to control one’s own body, self-preservation and survival instincts, the fight against disease, addictions and their impact on a person’s health and state of mind. The article discusses facets of the disease as well as visions of the human body captured in the visual arts, from the theme of the Danse Macabre in the Middle Ages to Dr. Tulp’s Anatomy Lesson by Rembrandt or the aesthetic vision of Egon Schiele. Another topic approached is the correlation between emotional states and body attitudes or visual metaphors, by using art as a way to exorcise inner demons, in the conception of Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo or Käthe Kollwitz, or to test the limits of the human body, like in the works of Marina Abramovic.","PeriodicalId":37287,"journal":{"name":"Anastasis","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81605937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although his images and ideas still echo in our present, by this reason we will employ the opinions of selected freethinkers that, in e strange way, engage the todays audience with the same concepts but somehow in a different paradigm: Paradise, Heaven, Heavenly Ecstasy, fear, acceptance etc. are just some of the forth mentioned subjects.The opinions will be set side by side to reveal the similarities or differences of Bosch’s symbolism within present day concepts. The Illusion behind the concept of Heaven... or better said of the promised Garden; But also the necessity of heaving a wishful ideal to live up to... the concept of purposefulness, mindfulness switches the role of Paradise, and how to obtain it with, the lifetime goal for a happier life and a place within a peaceful inner self. In conclusion we can observe, the visionary aspect of the work itself and how the viewer can receivea new perspective on old subjects.

During the excavations, relics of Iron Age I, II and III and also tombs (1500 to 550 BC) have been found. Iron Age I and II tombs are of the type of Megalithic cemetries. The Scythians were a nomadic tribe that spread over a wide geographical area, from the Black Sea in the west to the borders of China. The most important relics of these tribes were their barrows, which can help us understand their political, economic, artistic and worldview. Therefore, for studying tombs, various factors such as the way of distribution of tombs, the shape and form of tombs, burial in tombs, objects and gifts placed in tombs can be very closely related to the culture of people or a region. According to the conducted excavations, this article has pursued three important goals: 1Typologically, in how many categories can the tombs of this cemetery be classified? 2What was the relationship between these tombs and the sites of the surrounding settlements, if any, and can the existence of a community with a ruling structure be deduced from the structure and contents of the tombs? 3What are the analytical comparison and typology of these tombs with their similar types in Iran and abroad? The remains of these barrows have been excavated outside the geographical territory of Iran in the south of Caucasus and around the Black Sea, Russia and Kazakhstan, the most important of which are Pazyryk, Arrajan (Russia) and Kostromskaya.
