perspectives. Furthermore, The Inland Seas covers a broad chronological span; thus, readers are accompanied along a diachronic route, becoming witnesses of the changes that have occurred in the perception (and subsequent exploitation) of the sea. The chronological arrangement of the contributions allows readers to detect clearly how the sea – due to its status as a freely usable resource – gradually suffered from overexploitation, which ultimately made it necessary to regulate and limit access to it. We are still living with and learning how to deal with the consequences of this process, and this is why eco-history in general, and this book in particular, is currently so relevant.

Chiara Maria Mauro
War was “remarkably consistent” appears to rest on a downplaying of the very real fears that Churchill expressed in 1937/8 about the dangers of a Nationalist victory for Britain’s imperial interests. Britain also looms large in the background of Pedro Aires Oliveira’s chapter on Portugal, in which he notes that – for all his instinctive support for Franco and hostility to the Second Republic – Salazar was essentially a defender of the status quo, and saw the alliance with Britain as crucial to maintaining Portugal’s independence. By contrast, Spanish Falangists were far less judicious in their relationship with Nazism. Xosé M. Núñez Seixas’ chapter charts the rise of Germanophilia on the Spanish right throughout the 1930s, an admiration that reached its peak with Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Even those who were not outright Fascists saw the Third Reich in 1940/41 as the key to not only defeating Communism but also to breaking the power of the old imperialist enemy – the United Kingdom. The book concentrates on the Civil War’s political and international ramifications and gives little coverage to its impact on intellectuals. However, a fascinating chapter by Silvina Schammah Gesser and Alexandra Chevela Dergacheva on the poet Rafael Alberti goes some way to making up for this omission. Alberti, working closely with his partner Maria Teresa León, emerged during the Civil War as a key defender of the Republic in intellectual circles, and was a strong supporter of the Soviet Union, which by that time was, of course, the Republic’s only substantial source of weapons. The chapter focuses on Alberti and León’s visit to Moscow in March 1937 and their two-hour meeting with Stalin who, according to León, looked “thin and sad”. No record of the meeting survives beyond an official communiqué in which Alberti gushed about Stalin’s kindness and deep interest in Spanish affairs. However, it seems likely that Alberti conducted some secret diplomacy during his visit, presumably encouraging the Soviets to send a delegation to the forthcoming International Congress of Antifascist Writers in Valencia. The authors point out that in later life Alberti (who lived until 1999) was rather successful at presenting himself as merely a naive “engagé”, infatuated with the Soviet Union, and reticent to confront the true extent of his “Soviet past and connections” in public. In this case, at least, it seems that history really had stopped in 1936.

Scholars of interfaith tolerance and conflict in the pre-modern Mediterranean have largely overlooked the history of mixed marriage, that is, the binding union between men and women from different religious communities. Concentrating on pre-modern Iberia but looking as well at wider Mediterranean contexts, the collection of essays gathered here examines mixed marriage in relation to religious conversion and the family.

Two recent books provide exceptionally stimulating insights on how space gives shape to religious representations. On the one hand, Mark S. Smith’s 2016 book Where the Gods Are: Spatial Dimensions of Anthropomorphism in the Biblical World focuses on the spatial dimension of the divine presence, as a crucial dimension of human experience. On the other hand, Robert Parker’s 2017 book Greek Gods Abroad: Names, Natures and Transformations, concentrates on the naming processes and their evolution in cross-cultural contexts. Both publications offer rich evidence on the interaction between naming and locating the gods. This paper, written by the team of the ERC project “Mapping Ancient Polytheisms”, is an attempt to extend and improve reflection on these topics, by offering a survey of the current research on mapping and naming the gods.
最近的两本书对空间如何塑造宗教表征提供了异常刺激的见解。一方面，马克·S·史密斯（Mark S.Smith）2016年出版的《众神在哪里：圣经世界中拟人化的空间维度》（Where the Gods Are:Spatial Dimensions of Anthropomorphism in the Biblical World）一书聚焦于神存在的空间维度，作为人类体验的一个关键维度。另一方面，罗伯特·帕克2017年出版的《海外希腊众神：名称、性质和转变》一书集中探讨了跨文化背景下的命名过程及其演变。这两份出版物都为命名和定位众神之间的相互作用提供了丰富的证据。本文由ERC项目“绘制古代多神教”的团队撰写，旨在通过对当前绘制和命名神的研究进行调查，来扩展和改进对这些主题的反思。
