ATHARVAVEDAEntangled chronotopes: language, power, bodyscapes and religion in the first ten books of the Saunaka Atharvaveda-Sa¿hita [SS]. An overall reassessment (more than one century after Whitney’s magnum opus) of the SS, in terms of its time-space coordinates within the Vedic cultural landscape, through a newly devised English (and Italian) translation of the verse and prose sections of books I-X, adopted as a hermeneutical device to map language onto real and imaginary objects and institutions.
