    Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    Description: Los avances de las llamadas ciencias duras, las ingenierías y las ciencias básicas son un hecho, al punto que son los motores de mayor fuerza en los avances científicos en las últimas décadas. También es un hecho que el sentido de utilidad del conocimiento, el papel de la innovación de las ciencias ha cobrado fuerza y valor situando a las Humanidades en niveles cada vez más distantes aparentemente, de los centros de toda de decisiones en los problemas de nuestro tiempo (Acevedo y Prada Dussán, 2017). En la actualidad la atención del pensamiento está centrado en “en un ‘enfoque orientado al mercado’, que favorece las ciencias biológicas, médicas y tecnológicas, y ha ayudado a reforzar una jerarquía disciplinaria en la que (…) [las] artes y Humanidades han luchado por llamar la atención” Hazelkorn (2015, p. 1).

    Description: The paper presents a reasoned review of digital resources useful for historians and the teaching of public history. This review will not be limited only to the tools of search and treatment of sources on the web, but will be directed above all to provide a guidance framework - which will be by the very nature of the digital constantly evolving over time - of those tools, methods and narratives that make use of digital to enhance teaching and research.

    Description: Dans cet ouvrage collectif placé sous la direction de Jean-Louis Leleu et Pascal Decroupet, la musique de Pierre Boulez est approchée de façon à la fois analytique et esthétique : l'approche rigoureuse du langage musical conduit à des réflexions sur ses enjeux. Les différents auteurs nous font entrer dans l'atelier du compositeur, éclairant ses procédés d'élaboration, les mutations d'une œuvre à l'autre, l'évolution de sa pensée, les projets inaboutis et certains éléments qui l'ont influencé. Sont étudiées en détail des pièces comme le Livre pour quatuor, Le Marteau sans maître, la Troisième Sonate pour piano, Figures, Doubles, Prismes, Éclat/Multiples ou Rituel, mais aussi des pièces retirées. Il s'agit de contributions originales qui apportent une somme d'informations nouvelles et décisives pour la compréhension d'une pensée musicale ayant marqué en profondeur les cinquante dernières années. Pour qu'ils soient plus lisibles et plus faciles à consulter, les exemples musicaux et les fac-similés des manuscrits de Boulez ont été gravés sur le CD-ROM joint.

    Description: L’ex-voto est un don fait par un fidèle à un personnage céleste en remerciement d’une protection. En Provence, pendant plus de trois siècles, ces ex-voto ont souvent pris la forme d’un petit tableau déposé dans un sanctuaire, montrant le protecteur et les circonstances de la protection. Ces tableaux votifs présentent des images de la vie d’autrefois, dans des circonstances particulières, celles du danger, qui ont motivé la demande d’intervention céleste. À côté de ces scènes du vécu quotidien, ils offrent aussi une représentation du sacré, et de son lien avec les hommes. Le présent ouvrage se fonde sur une analyse exhaustive des quatre mille ex-voto provençaux, mais en présente une version destinée à un large public. En effet il est construit à partir de la reproduction photographique de plus de deux cents ex-voto, dont la majorité inédits. Ce sont ces photos qui servent de support à l’analyse et au commentaire, faisant pénétrer le lecteur dans l’univers matériel quotidien (maladies, naissances, accidents du travail, accidents de la circulation terrestre et maritime, guerre et violence, dangers de la foudre ou des eaux…) et dans les représentations des recours célestes de nos ancêtres (les saints intercesseurs, Marie…), face au danger.

    Description: Kazimierz Moczarski (1907–1975) was a journalist, soldier, and political prisoner. His life exemplifies a Central European biography under Nazism and Comunism. The addictive and moving Civility in Uncivil Times reveals the story of a man who defended law and democracy all his life. Moczarski fought for it in the authoritarian Poland of the 1930s. During the Second World War, he partook in the resistance movement. After the war, he spent eleven years in a Stalinist prison, including nine months in one cell with the Nazi Jürgen Stroop, who commanded the brutal pacification of the Warsaw Ghetto. The communists imprisoned Moczarski’s wife. After release, he rebuilt the broken marriage, rejoined social life, and wrote a work about meeting Stroop. Translated into many languages, Conversations with the Executioner is a thorough study of totalitarianism.

    Description: This essay considers a number of travellers’ writings about Africa which are reread to construct and deconstruct Italian colonial identity. It focuses on Cesare Cesari’s Viaggi africani di Pellegrino Matteucci (1932), which deems Matteucci a precursor of Fascist colonialism and contributor to Fascist “colonial science”. The essay then moves on to explore the more recent rereading by Angelo Del Boca and Igiaba Scego of respectively Indro Montanelli’s XX Battaglione Eritreo (1936) and Errico Emanuelli’s Settimana nera (1961). By bringing together and rereading these texts, the essay maps the transformations of Italianness from colonial to postcolonial times and reveals how colonial identity relied on a series of gender, racial and sexual tropes of exploration and conquest.

    Description: In this Special Issue, we have published papers on the health-promoting effects of nutraceuticals from different sources, and their effects in different pathologies. Extracts from plants have been analyzed, for example, extracts from olive leaves, Mikania micrantha, the devil’s claw, raspberries and others, alongside marine phytoplankton, egg-yolk and marketed dietary supplements. The effects of these extracts and dietary supplements have been studied in diseases associated with obesity, and in diseases where inflammation pathways are involved. The effectiveness of resveratrol and curcumin to support the anticancer activity of cisplatin has also been reported, as well as the ability of devil’s claw root extract to stimulate the CB2 receptors in synoviocytes in osteoarthritis patients. The anti-oxidant effect of marine phytoplankton has been studied on muscle damage, both in humans and in an animal model, and the effects of the metabolite of antocianin were analyzed in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Finally, reviews on the use of lactoferrin, ω3 and ω6 and abscisic acid have been reported, in addition to the crosstalk between prostate cancer and microbiota inflammation. Although it is not yet possible to draw definitive conclusions on the use of nutraceuticals, several mechanisms of action for many of them have been further clarified.

    Description: Aux États-Unis, la notion de race est utilisée de manière routinière par les médecins en tant que variable biologique, culturelle ou sociale, selon les situations de soins. Croisant les notions de citoyenneté, de responsabilité et de droits civiques, ainsi que les questionnements autour de la politisation de la science, cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire de la médicalisation du corps noir par la profession psychiatrique aux États-Unis, du xxe siècle jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. Conjuguant l’histoire et la sociologie, il est ainsi question de retracer les différents régimes par lesquels la notion de race a été jugée pertinente par les psychiatres pour naturaliser les différences corporelles des années 1920 jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. En s’appuyant sur un corpus d’archives personnelles de médecins, d’institutions de soins et de centres de recherche en psychiatrie, ainsi que sur une enquête qualitative réalisée auprès de psychiatres en Californie, ce livre démontre que la catégorie de race irrigue encore et toujours les pratiques et les discours institutionnels, aussi bien dans les représentations que les médecins véhiculent des corps soignés, que dans les stratégies de naturalisation du social employées pour prendre en charge leurs patients.

    Description: Zum niederländischen Militär in der frühen Neuzeit gehörte es, dass Soldaten regelmäßig gemustert wurden. Die Schlagkräftigkeit des Militärs sollte aufrechterhalten werden. Dazu reisten Musterungskommissare in die Garnisonsorte und begutachteten die Truppen. Neben ihren Amtsgeschäften widmeten die Kommissare sich oftmals intensiv "touristischen" Vergnügungen. Die Berichte geben in niederländischer Sprache daher nicht nur Einblicke in das Musterungswesen selbst, sondern vor allem in das Reisen im 18. Jahrhundert. Dabei lassen sie in deutlicher Form das soziale Leben der Zeit nachvollziehen.

    Description: In 1847, Russian military engineer and diplomat Egor Petrovich Kovalevsky embarked on a journey through what is today Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, recording his impressions of a region in flux. Invited by Egyptian ruler Mohammed Ali to look for gold and construct mines in the area between the Blue and White Nile, Kovalevsky captured the social milieu of both elites and ordinary people as well as compiled a rich record of the Upper Nile’s climate and natural resources. A Journey to Inner Africa, masterfully translated into English for the first time by Anna Aslanyan, is both a tale of encounter between Russia and northern Africa and an important document in the history and development of the Russian imperial project.

    Description: The Finnish novelist Kaarlo (Kalle) Alvar Päätalo’s (1919–2000) main work, the Iijoki series, consists of 26 novels (comprising ca. 17 000 pages) and was written in 1971–1998. In this book the text corpus in Kielipankki concerning Päätalo’s works is introduced to the readers, as well as the possibilities of digital text mining. This book includes scientific articles concerning the works of Kalle Päätalo. It also gives ideas for the research that can be carried out in the future. The authors of this book are researchers in the fields of history, linguistics and literature, respectively. The research results presented in this book speak for the fact that the Iijoki series is a significant source material for future research, for example from the point of view of oral history, language variation, metalanguage, swearing and the reader’s reception. The possibilities for future research seem to be quite plentiful.

    Description: Cet ouvrage présente le manuscrit écrit par un marchand arlésien dans le dernier tiers du XVIe siècle. Homme de condition relativement modeste, issu du monde agricole, probablement la frange haute qui s’est hissée vers la boutique, il entreprend de laisser ce qu’il intitule un « Livre de memoyres pour moy Anthoine Peinct » dont les premières notices remontent à 1569. Ce livre rappelle certains événements et laisse la trace d’affaires passées jugées importantes, mais c’est essentiellement un livre de comptes dans lequel se mêlent des événements familiaux, naturels ou politiques qui frappent les esprits. Écrit en pleine période de la Ligue qui secoue sévèrement la ville d’Arles, il fournit l’occasion à son lecteur de prendre la mesure de la croissance des activités du marchand Antoine Peint, majoritairement des prêts, et de cerner ses réseaux de sociabilité. Ce document, croisé avec d’autres sources (registres paroissiaux, délibérations communales, registres fiscaux et notariaux), donne le moyen de percevoir la stratégie d’ascension sociale que cet homme met en œuvre dans le contexte politique de la période et d’en découvrir l’efficacité puisqu’il accède au statut de bourgeois et que, peu après sa disparition, son fils aîné accèdera à la noblesse.

    Description: Intelligence research is mainly concerned with basic science questions; what is the psychometric structure of intelligence? What are the cognitive bases of intelligence? What are the brain-based correlates of intelligence? What does intelligence predict? Such research is needed, but there are also problems larger than those presented in intelligence tests, including problems of today. What is the role of human intelligence in solving consequential real-world problems? Here, leading scholars in the field of intelligence each address one real-world problem—a problem of their choice—and explain how intelligence has been, or could be, essential for a solution.

    Description: Dès la deuxième moitié du xixe siècle, dans un contexte d’intense ségrégation raciale aux États-Unis, des Africains-Américains écrivent l’histoire occultée de leur communauté pour l’inscrire au cœur du récit national et, au-delà, pour révéler la contribution de la diaspora noire à l’histoire mondiale. Cette histoire en marge questionne la discipline historique elle-même et affirme la nécessité d’écrire une histoire-monde. Mais comment écrire une véritable histoire globale? Ce livre entend démontrer qu’il faut non seulement donner droit de cité à celles et ceux qui ont trop souvent été exclus du récit historique ou ont été relégués à ses marges, mais aussi concevoir la marge (géographique, sociale, économique) comme un centre d’innovation épistémologique et politique, un lieu paradoxalement privilégié pour (re)penser et (ré)écrire l’histoire. Depuis plus d’un siècle à travers le monde, des historiens et des historiennes placent la périphérie au centre et, par là même, déprovincialisent l’histoire. Ce sont ces travaux qui, faisant l’histoire des marges (sexuelles-genrées, impériales-coloniales, scientifiques-disciplinaires...), participent à l’écriture d’une histoire globale.

    Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    Description: Les femmes brésiliennes ont obtenu le droit de vote dès 1932, mais leur accession à une citoyenneté pleine et entière, leur affirmation dans l’espace politique et la conquête de droits équivalents à ceux des hommes ont été nettement plus tardives dans le XXe siècle. Sur la base de nombreuses archives et d’entretiens menés sur le terrain, ce livre retrace l’histoire d’une génération de militantes qui, entre le lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et le début des années 1960, s’engagèrent au sein du Parti communiste brésilien afin de faire valoir la cause des femmes. Si aucune avancée significative ne caractérise cette quinzaine d’années sur le plan légal ou juridique, cette séquence n’en constitue pas moins un moment matriciel dans l’histoire du féminisme brésilien et dans le processus au long cours de politisation de femmes désireuses de s’émanciper des assignations – celle de mère en particulier – auxquelles les renvoyait la société.

    Description: This work arises from the presentations held during the research seminar of the Italian Society for the Study of Contemporary History (SISSCO) titled Ruling classes and spaces in the contemporary period. Asymmetries between centres and peripheries, continuities and discontinuities. The Italian case (1861-2015), organized between the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 and coordinated by the Centro di ricerca “Guido Dorso” per lo studio del pensiero meridionalistico. The volume is conceived as a test for the vitality of a field of study of historiography on contemporary Italy: that on the various sectors of the country’s elite from Risorgimento to present days. This effort has been made through direct discussion between scholars, paying particular attention to the territorial diversities and the political and institutional changes. The work offers a rich and multifaceted collection of essays, focusing on different geographical areas and segments of the Italian ruling classes, based on different methodological approaches and various sources.

    Description: Quest’opera nasce a partire dagli interventi presentati nel corso del seminario di ricerca della Società Italiana per lo Studio della Storia Contemporanea (SISSCO) dal titolo Classi dirigenti e territori in età contemporanea. Asimmetrie tra centri e periferie, continuità e discontinuità. Il caso italiano (1861-2015), organizzato tra fine 2016 e inizio 2017, con il coordinamento del Centro di ricerca “Guido Dorso” per lo studio del pensiero meridionalistico di Avellino. Il volume è stato concepito come un’opportunità per saggiare la vitalità di un settore specifico della storiografia relativa all’Italia contemporanea: quello degli studi dei vari segmenti della classe dirigente del nostro Paese dal Risorgimento ai nostri giorni, attraverso un confronto diretto tra ricercatori, con un’attenzione alle peculiarità territoriali e alle fratture politico-istituzionali vissute nel corso della vicenda unitaria. Il lavoro offre al lettore un quadro ricco e variegato di ricerche sia per i differenti focus su territori e settori delle classi dirigenti italiane, sia per i differenti approcci proposti e le tipologie di fonti utilizzate dagli autori.

    Description: Author of two monographs on the care of abandoned children in Bordeaux published by the MSHA, Bernard Allemandou, child psychiatrist, focuses here on the fate of poor children who commit crimes. The Saint-Jean penitentiary, created in 1837 for minor boys, and the Sainte-Philomène penitentiary the following year for girls, were born of the flaw in the incarceration system practised at the time, where children were not separated from adult prisoners. Based on documents kept in the municipal archives of Bordeaux and the departmental archives of the Gironde, the author describes the functioning of these two institutions, which operated until 1870. Given the failure of the State to create special establishments, private initiative was encouraged, leaving this task to the clergy, who, as a “work of charity”, intended to give instruction to minors where “they would learn to know, to serve, to fear and above all, to love God”. From the penitentiaries to the agricultural colonies, Bernard Allemandou thus paints a portrait of a Bordeaux society torn between the necessary and saving Christian charity of the time and the fear of these delinquent children who had to live in uncomfortable buildings with uncertain financing, with a summary education and incomplete food.

    Description: À mesure que le déclassement a été perçu comme un problème contemporain, il est devenu un objet de premier plan pour la sociologie des inégalités et, dans une moindre mesure, pour les études historiques qui ont privilégié les formes de mobilité ascendante, celles qui sont aussi les plus productrices de sources. En prenant en compte l’Ancien Régime tout en englobant le moment révolutionnaire, cet ouvrage collectif observe, à partir des terrains français et italiens, le phénomène du déclassement dans le cadre d’un ordre hiérarchique, rigide, pensé comme naturel donc immuable, mais qui n’était pas immobile, alternant des périodes de plus ou moins grande ouverture ou fermeture, mais aussi dans une phase de rupture, de transition et de redéfinition où la perte de statut et de fortune a pu s’accompagner d’opportunités de reclassement. Les études ici réunies ont été guidées par un questionnaire commun : montrer la difficulté d’appréhender des situations de déclassement où se mêlaient, selon des degrés variables, appauvrissement, déshonneur, déchéance morale ; restituer la parole – rare - des acteurs historiques sur leur expérience du déclassement ; montrer la difficulté de mesurer le déclassement à partir de marqueurs objectifs tant il s’agissait d’un phénomène relatif, parfois paradoxal, conditionné par un environnement social lui-même mouvant ; envisager le déclassement comme un processus en s’attachant à l’interprétation de trajectoires personnelles et collectives ; interroger, enfin, le rôle joué par l’État dans l’ordonnancement des frontières sociales.

    Description: « Ce livre devenu un classique », selon Owen Chadwick, comprend deux parties dont seule la seconde est traduite ici, la première ayant déjà fait l’objet d’une traduction en 1968. John Henry Newman, nommé recteur fondateur, en 1851, d’une université catholique à Dublin, réfléchit aux objectifs d’une telle institution. Il met au premier plan la formation de l’esprit tout autant que l’acquisition du savoir afin de parvenir à une véritable culture humaniste. Il traite des rapports entre raison et foi, science et théologie, il insiste sur les liens qui unissent langue et littérature, il aborde les problèmes d’éthique médicale ; il préconise une recherche libre de tout préjugé mais éclairée par une pensée chrétienne qui a assimilé la culture antique. Cependant il n’ignore pas les applications pratiques qu’entraîne une telle création. Un ensemble de facultés, complémentaires les unes des autres, devra se développer à partir du noyau initial qu’est la Faculté des Arts et des Lettres, élément essentiel de tout enseignement universitaire. Celui-ci sera ainsi vivifié par la recherche et maintiendra le rapport d’un savoir particulier à une connaissance plus générale. À notre époque où l’Université s’interroge sur sa raison d’être, l’idéal exigeant de Newman reste tout à fait d’actualité.

    Description: Border of Lights, a volunteer collective, returns each October to Dominican-Haitian border towns to bear witness to the 1937 Haitian Massacre ordered by Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. This crime against humanity has never been acknowledged by the Dominican government and no memorial exists for its victims. A multimodal, multi-vocal space for activists, artists, scholars, and others connected to the BOL movement, The Border of Lights Reader provides an alternative to the dominant narrative that positions Dominicans and Haitians as eternal adversaries and ignores cross-border and collaborative histories. This innovative anthology asks large-scale, universal questions regarding historical memory and revisionism that countries around the world grapple with today.

    Description: The rediscovery and promotion of fourteen islands in the Aegean Sea – renamed the Dodecanese Islands – annexed to Italy as a military possession while formally under the dominion of the Ottomans, might be considered another phase in the search for an Italian identity. From 1912 to 1943 these islands experienced Italy’s ambiguous presence as invaders and colonizers. This paper aims to highlight the concept of Italianità through the works of Hermes Balducci, one of the protagonists of Italian colonial architecture in the Dodecanese Islands. To this end and using lesser-known material, this case study intends to recreate and redefine the past of the Italian presence on these islands and provide an interesting point of view in the search for a lost and rediscovered Italian spirit.

    Description: The volume is a comprehensive handbook of oral history and memory studies in Finland. The Finnish research field has originally emerged at the collaborative intersection of history, folklore studies, and ethnology. Since then, this field has developed into vibrant multi- and cross-disciplinary arena characterized by a strong focus on methodological issues related to memory in culture and theoretical engagement with studies on narration and processes of remembering. The chapters of the book explore the perspectives on the production of memory-based knowledge in oral history interviews and collection campaigns of written reminiscences. Moreover, the book introduces versatile methodological approaches to the study of memory and memories, ranging from narrative to corpus analysis, and investigates the multiple media of remembrance from documentary film to museum exhibition. The chapters of the book also engage the field’s disciplinary position and interrogate the potentials and challenges related to the application of the methods of oral history research and the use of memory-based knowledge beyond academia in political, societal, and community-based projects.

    Description: In modern societies two processes seem to be carried on simultaneously. On one side, the traditional shape assumed by historical knowledge seems dissolving. On the other side, another exigence has to be affirmed: the necessity to remember, to share their memories. This is a pattern linked to the limits and contradictions which characterised the relationship between present and past. Tracing the steps thanks to which the anti-fascist Resiatance have been taking place in Italy is useful for defining the strong ethic and politic relevance making it a precious tool for democratic convivence.

    Description: Cette étude sur le clergé mérovingien et carolingien, envisagée dans ses rapports avec le pouvoir politique et dans son activité pastorale, est saisie dans une perspective évolutive pour faire ressortir les changements et les différences selon les temps et les lieux. L’auteur, a dû embrasser une documentation énorme et pulvérisée : les listes épiscopales ou abbatiales, les canons des conciles, les capitulaires, les vies des saints lorsqu’elles existent et il a réussi de la sorte à dégager des constatations nouvelles, apportant une image vivante, diversifiée et contrastée du monde ecclésiastique à l’époque franque. On savait déjà que ce monde n’était pas statique et homogène, mais on ne le savait pas avec une telle précision. Durant cinq siècles, le clergé fut en quête de son identité : fonctionnaire public ou homme de Dieu. Ainsi se juxtaposent un Martin qui récuse les dotations fiscales de l’État et un Rémi qui les sollicite, des clercs mondains attachés à leurs privilèges et des évêques, inspirés par Lérins qui procèdent à une conversion des mœurs avant d’entrer en charge, enfin des prélats aristocrates, ayant un sens aigu du devoir et du droit pour servir de médiateur auprès de Dieu et du prince et des clercs simoniaques, devenus les serviles vassaux des clans aristocratiques. Le baptême de Clovis avait laissé espérer une docilité du pouvoir aux conseils de l’épiscopat, le concile d’Orléans de 511 plaça le clergé sous la coupe royale. Les revenus des diocèses destinés aux œuvres de paix furent affectés pour la guerre et les synodes se transformèrent en tribunaux politiques. Grégoire-le-Grand et les moines luxoviens dénoncèrent ces vices et affirmèrent une spécificité et une qualité du clergé par un costume et un mode de vie. Boniface dénonça les falsipiscopi violents et prévaricateurs puis Chrodegang fit du clergé l’organisateur de la liturgie impériale et des grandes cérémonies expiatoires pour le salut de l’empire carolingien. Le bilan dressé en 811 par Charlemagne, de fonctionnaires corrompus et de médiocres pasteurs, n’est guère flatteur. Cette vision cache l’action en profondeur des prélats gallo-romains, du Liber Pastoralis et des irlandais pour faire du clerc un vitae evangelicae imitator et non pas un simple intendant des grands susceptible de s’engager contre les unions incestueuses et prônant le repos dominical. Par ailleurs, la prolixité liturgique d’inspiration orientale s’uniformisa sur le modèle romain pour mieux répondre et encadrer une religiosité populaire exubérante envers les reliques et le culte des saints. Le clergé parvint ainsi à s’imposer dans la société au prix d’une exigence morale interne considérable inspirée par le courant monastique et d’une soumission progressive des pêcheurs à une pénitence non moins rigoureuse.

    Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    Description: Ernst Papanek (1900-1973) was an Austrian-born Viennese reform pedagogue who realized already in the 1930s that unaccompanied, traumatized young refugees were self-directed. He organized "Kindertransporte" for about 1,600 refugees between 1938 and 1940.

    Description: Dem Vergleichen wird in der Geschichtswissenschaft die Funktion einer historischen Methode zugesprochen, für den Geschichtsunterricht dient es als Methode zur Förderung historischer Kompetenzen. In den Geschichtslehrwerken der Sekundarstufe II taucht es in der Regel in Form von Aufgaben auf. Doch wie relevant sind Vergleichsaufgaben in Lehrwerken überhaupt und welche Fertigkeiten und Kompetenzen benötigen Lernende in der Sekundarstufe II zur (schriftlichen) Lösung einer historischen Vergleichsaufgabe? Diesen Fragen wird mit Hilfe einer zweiteiligen Untersuchung auf der Grundlage einer umfangreichen Frequenzanalyse von Aufgaben in Geschichtslehrwerken der Sekundarstufe II in NRW sowie einer Korpusanalyse von Lernendentexten zu einer authentischen Vergleichsaufgabe aus einem Geschichtslehrwerk nachgegangen. Die Arbeit verbindet den geschichtsdidaktischen Zugang mit dem linguistischen Ansatz der Funktionalen Pragmatik, um das Vergleichen als Handlungsmuster des Geschichtsunterrichts zu bestimmen und es im Hinblick auf seinen kommunikativen Zweck in Teilhandlungen aufzuschlüsseln. Der Zugang wird ergänzt durch den Bezug zur Schreibdidaktik, der gerade im Hinblick auf wissenschaftspropädeutisches Arbeiten in der Sekundarstufe II eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Aus den Ergebnissen der Untersuchungen wird auf der Grundlage eines Indikatorenmodells ein praxisorientierter Weg zum Umgang mit Vergleichsaufgaben im Geschichtsunterricht vorgeschlagen.

    Description: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. The Browne report advocates, in effect, the privatisation of higher education in England. With the proposed removal of the current cap on student fees and the removal of state funding from most undergraduate degree programmes, universities are set for a period of major reorganisation not seen since the higher education reforms in the 1960s. This book brings together some of the leading figures in Higher Education in the UK to set out what they see as the role of the university in public life. The book argues for a more balanced understanding of the value of universities than that outlined in the Browne Report. It advocates that they should not purely be seen in terms of their contribution to economic growth and the human capital of individuals but also in terms of their contribution to the public. This book responds to the key debates that the Browne review and Government statements have sparked, with essays on the cultural significance of the university, the role of the government in funding research, inequality in higher education, the role of quangos in public life and the place of social science research. It is a timely, important and considered exploration of the role of the universities in the UK and a reminder of what we should value and protect in our higher education system.

    Description: During the Victorian era, new laws allowed more witnesses to testify in court cases. At the same time, an emerging cultural emphasis on truth-telling drove the development of new ways of inhibiting perjury. Strikingly original and drawing on a broad array of archival research, Wendie Schneider's examination of the Victorian courtroom charts this period of experimentation and how its innovations shaped contemporary trial procedure. Blending legal, social, and colonial history, she shines new light on cross-examination, the most enduring product of this time and the greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth. This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched.

In this context where historical knowledge is facing with a growing crisis, how can we stimulate young generation's interest twoards the Resistance movement? The paper tries to answer to this request. Particularly, we are going to propose two hypothesis for didactical work. Firslty, deepening studies about the men and the women who faced with unexpectable choices; secondly, the analysis of places known by students but not appreciated in their historical meaning. In this way, we can approach people to history.

    Description: This multidisciplinary volume reflects the shifting experiences and framings of Finnishness and its relation to race and coloniality. The authors centre their investigations on whiteness and unravel the cultural myth of a normative Finnish (white) ethnicity. Rather than presenting a unified definition for whiteness, the book gives space to the different understandings and analyses of its authors. This collection of case-studies illuminates how Indigenous and ethnic minorities have participated in defining notions of Finnishness, how historical and recent processes of migration have challenged the traditional conceptualisations of the nation-state and its population, and how imperial relationships have contributed to a complex set of discourses on Finnish compliance and identity. With an aim to question and problematise what may seem self-evident aspects of Finnish life and Finnishness, expert voices join together to offer (counter) perspectives on how Finnishness is constructed and perceived. Scholars from cultural studies, history, sociology, linguistics, genetics, among others, address four main topics: 1) Imaginations of Finnishness, including perceived physical characteristics of Finnish people; 2) Constructions of whiteness, entailing studies of those who do and do not pass as white; 3) Representations of belonging and exclusion, making up of accounts of perceptions of what it means to be ‘Finnish’; and 4) Imperialism and colonisation, including what might be considered uncomfortable or even surprising accounts of inclusion and exclusion in the Finnish context. This volume takes a first step in opening up a complex set of realities that define Finland’s changing role in the world and as a home to diverse populations.

    Description: Comment écrire une histoire des temps coloniaux à partir de points de vue d’Algériens ? Quels rapports établir entre la colonisation et le réformisme musulman, problème majeur de l’histoire contemporaine de l’islam ? C’est à ces deux questions, aussi centrales qu’irrésolues, que s’attaque cette étude sur l’ibadisme aux XIXe et XXe siècles. Ce livre retrace la trajectoire de la minorité des musulmans berbères et ibadites du Mzab depuis l’occupation de cette région du nord du Sahara par la France, en 1882, jusqu’à l’indépendance de l’Algérie, en 1962. Il montre la manière dont, face à la domination coloniale, des savants musulmans – les oulémas – s’emparent de l’idée de réforme en islam, pour en faire une arme de conquête du leadership et de reconfiguration de la religion et de la société locales. Par-delà le face-à-face entre la France et l’Algérie, circuler entre Le Caire, Tunis, Alger et le Mzab permet à ces lettrés de trouver de nouveaux modèles politiques, d’opérer de fortes ruptures culturelles et de s’adapter à d’importants changements socio-économiques. Trois générations successives d’oulémas repensent l’ibadisme comme foi et comme pratique et, surtout, redéfinissent les contours de leur communauté face à l’occupation étrangère, tout en lui ménageant une place dans la nation algérienne en construction. Très minoritaires (1 % à peine de la population), les ibadites se révèlent un observatoire unique des bouleversements vécus par les Algériens à la période coloniale. Au terme d’un patient travail de terrain et en archives (de langues arabe et française), Augustin Jomier renouvelle la question du réformisme musulman, révélant l’existence de sa variante ibadite et, plus largement, la métamorphose coloniale de l’islam. Il montre surtout qu’écrire l’histoire de l’Algérie en observant l’évolution des institutions sociales et culturelles antérieures à la colonisation permet de restituer la capacité d’action des colonisés, leurs manières de donner sens aux cadres coloniaux et de se réinventer dans ce contexte.

    Description: The cowboy, as perhaps no other figure, has captured the imagination of North Americans for over a century. Before Owen Wister's publication of The Virginian in 1902, the image of the cowboy was essentially that of the dime novel - a rough, violent, one-dimensional drifter, or the stage cowboy variety found in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show. Wister's novel was to transform, almost overnight, this image of the cowboy. Soon after its publication, Wister sent a copy, inscribed "To the hero from the author," to Everett Johnson, a cowboy from Virginia who had been a friend of Wister's in Wyoming in the 1880s. Johnson had migrated to Alberta by the 1890s, eventually settling in the Calgary area. Before his death in 1946, his daughter-in-law, Jean Johnson, transcribed Everett's stories of the old west and collected them into a manuscript, now on deposit in the Glenbow Archives. In The Cowboy Legend, John Jennings, building on Jean Johnson's work, details the evidence that Everett Johnson was the initial and prime inspiration for Wister's cowboy, and in the process shows that Johnson led a fascinating life in his own right. His memories of both the Wyoming and Alberta cattle frontiers provide insight into ranch life on both sides of the border, and the compelling parallel biographies of Johnson and Wister feature vignettes of legendary period figures such as Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, and Butch Cassidy, not to mention the best man at Johnson's wedding, Henry Longabaugh, a.k.a. the Sundance Kid. With an impressive range of scholarship and archival research, Jennings melds this realistic study of the cowboy frontier with an intriguing account of Wister's subsequent creation of the cowboy mystique, aided by two close friends and perhaps somewhat unexpected collaborators, Frederic Remington and Theodore Roosevelt. As compulsively readable as it is informative, this unique contribution to western history and literature will be welcomed by fans and scholars alike.

    Description: In order to truly understand the emergence, endurance, and legacy of autocracy, this volume of engaging essays explores how autocratic power is acquired, exercised, and transferred or abruptly ended through the careers and politics of influential figures in more than 20 countries and six regions. The book looks at both traditional "hard" dictators, such as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, and more modern "soft" or populist autocrats, who are in the process of transforming once fully democratic countries into autocratic states, including Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, Narendra Modi in India, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary. The authors touch on a wide range of autocratic and dictatorial figures in the past and present, including present-day autocrats, such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, military leaders, and democratic leaders with authoritarian aspirations. They analyze the transition of selected autocrats from democratic or benign semi-democratic systems to harsher forms of autocracy, with either quite disastrous or more successful outcomes. An ideal reader for students and scholars, as well as the general public, interested in international affairs, leadership studies, contemporary history and politics, global studies, security studies, economics, psychology, and behavioral studies.

    Description: July 1st 1867 is celebrated as Canada's Confederation - the date that Canada became a country. But 1867 was only the beginning. As the country grew from a small dominion to a vast federation encompassing ten provinces, three territories, and hundreds of First Nations, its leaders repeatedly debated Canada's purpose, and the benefits and drawbacks of the choice to be Canadian. Reconsidering Confederation brings together Canada's leading historians to explore how the provinces, territories, and Treaty areas became the political frameworks we know today. In partnership with The Confederation Debates, an ongoing crowdsourced, non-partisan, and non-profit initiative to digitize all of Canada's founding colonial and federal records, this book breaks new ground by integrating the treaties between Indigenous peoples and the Crown into our understanding of Confederation. Rigorously researched and eminently readable, this book traces the unique paths that each province and territory took on their journey to Confederation. It shows the roots of regional and cultural grievances, as vital and controversial in early debates as they are today. Reconsidering Confederation tells the sometimes rocky, complex, and ongoing story of how Canada has become Canada.

Focusing on the classic example of the straitjacket to illustrate the way psychiatric objects often function as symbols and practical items, it provides an introduction to material culture for the historian of psychiatry. First, it explores how and where we might find psychiatric objects, and how we can begin to analyse them. It examines what we can learn from observing the artefacts themselves, and what we might gain from placing them in the context of other sources. Reading objects alongside patient records, reports, publications, letters, and legal texts can shed new light on institutional life and practices. Objects may reveal the gap between rules and regulations and working practices and experiences within mental health care, and help to shed light on the hidden histories of psychiatric patients, especially women and working-class patients who were less likely to leave behind written accounts of their experiences. Finally, objects can help us as historians to confront our own assumptions. Acknowledging the symbolic meanings that historic items have often gained can help us to acknowledge the nuances of modern experiences of mental health care. Chapter 8: The disciplines of psychiatry and law are inextricably linked. Legal sources therefore provide invaluable material for understanding the history of psychiatry, but for historians unfamiliar with legal systems or legal history, there can be some barriers to their use. Focusing on the common law jurisdiction of England and Wales, this chapter describes three kinds of legal source – case law, court records, and legislation – and gives examples of the kind of information they contain, where they can be found, how they have been used by researchers, and what strategies can be applied to their interpretation. It concludes with an illustrative case study from the archives of the Court of Protection, and some final questions that these kinds of sources raise. Chapter 9: In the late 1960s, the first inquiries were held into claims of abuse and malpractice in certain NHS psychiatric and ‘mental handicap’ hospitals. As they continued through much of the 1970s, political indifference, failures in clinical leadership, poor management, and pernicious ingrained hospital cultures were revealed. Much of the vast repository of inquiry documentation that was generated at the time provides historians of today with immensely important insights into government interests, the impacts of NHS policy, and the cultural mechanisms that prevailed inside these large institutions. This article provides an overview of how the inquiries came about and were run, together with a summary of where to find sources today. It reflects on some of the epistemological and ethical questions that should be taken into account during the analysis and writing-up of the research, together with the potential challenges that come from working with such sensitive sources. Chapter 10: This chapter explores how our psychiatric histories can be enriched by engaging with the sources of mental health activism and the survivor movement. Beginning with a brief history of activism among patients and service users, it goes on to discuss the practical challenges associated with finding and working with a body of source material which is often ephemeral, uncatalogued, or hidden in private collections. While often difficult to access, activist materials can not only provide us with information on the history of the survivor movement, but open critical new perspectives on the wider history of psychiatry, and on the lives of service users past and present. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the historiographical and theoretical challenges which have been posed by mental health campaigners and survivor historians, to suggest how engaging with activist sources might change the ways we write the history of psychiatry. Chapter 13: Since the film camera was invented in the late nineteenth century, psychiatrists and their associates in allied disciplines have attempted to capture the symptomatology and treatment of mental illness in moving images. Film was used by 'psy' scientists for different ends over the course of the late nineteenth and twentieth century: as a diagnostic tool, as the means to create a visual archive of pathological gesture and expression, and as documentary and exposé. This chapter explores the opportunities and difficulties that face the historian of psychiatry when using film sources. It begins with a discussion of the parameters of psychiatric film and the expansion of its use in the mid-twentieth century. The following section explores the epistemological value of film within psychiatry and relevant implications for historical analysis. This extends into an examination of three salient issues facing the researcher: the fragmentary nature of film evidence, the ethical uncertainties surrounding the filming of patients, and the uses of empathy. The chapter ends with a list of major film archives and their holdings."

    Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    Description: Offering an innovative perspective on debates concerning embodiment in the early modern period, Alanna Skuse examines diverse kinds of surgical alteration, from mastectomy to castration, and amputation to facial reconstruction. Body-altering surgeries had profound socio-economic and philosophical consequences. They reached beyond the physical self, and prompted early modern authors to develop searching questions about the nature of body integrity and its relationship to the soul: was the body a part of one’s identity, or a mere ‘prison’ for the mind? How was the body connected to personal morality? What happened to the altered body after death? Drawing on a wide variety of texts including medical treatises, plays, poems, newspaper reports, and travel writings, this volume will argue that the answers to these questions were flexible, divergent, and often surprising, and helped to shape early modern thoughts on philosophy, literature, and the natural sciences. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

    Description: The book describes the system of communist censorship in Poland in the years 1948–1958, as well as its effects on the development of literature. It is the first literary studies work which takes up the subject in such broad and systematic terms. The book is divided into three main parts: an attempt at synthesis (theory and practice of censorship), special cases (censorship of specific writers), authorial strategies (the authors’ ways of dealing with censorship) and contexts. The most important conclusion which can be drawn from the research is that out of many small changes emerges an image of a very significant one. Numerous small cuts and alterations build up to an image of Polish literature of the 1940s and 1950s as a whole. A whole that was always dependant on and subservient to politics.

    Description: D’évidence, il n’y a pas d’enfermement sans règle. L’un des traits communs aux milieux clos est que ceux qui y vivent doivent obéir à des normes fortes, qu’il s’agisse de la règle monastique, de la règle hospitalière ou du règlement de prison. Reprenant l’étude comparée des enfermements religieux et carcéraux esquissée par les sciences sociales dans les années 1960 et 1970, cet ouvrage fait suite au volume Enfermements. Le cloître et la prison (vie-xviiie siècle), publié en 2011. Il explore la place des règlements et des normes dans les cloîtres comme dans les prisons. Il entend montrer toutes les nuances de cette histoire dans la longue durée, entre le ive et le xixe siècle, et en Europe, des îles Britanniques à la péninsule Ibérique, en passant par l’espace germanique. L’ouvrage interroge donc la nature de la règle et historicise sa mise en texte. Il compare les manières de produire l’obéissance dans les milieux clos et les dérèglements qui y surgissent. L’un des enjeux de cette étude des règles et dérèglements en milieux clos est de mieux comprendre et de réévaluer le rôle que la discipline religieuse a pu jouer dans la mise en place des systèmes carcéraux occidentaux.

    Description: Naguère parée de toutes les vertus, la viande est aujourd'hui l'objet d'une « stigmatisation diffuse ». Une série de scandales retentissants alarme les populations, soulevant des vagues d'inquiétudes, de résistances et de stigmatisations. Sont placées au cœur du débat les normes de la production carnée (alimentation, médication et stabulation des troupeaux, impact environnemental, éthique des abattages…), les modes de transformation (viandes falsifiées…), ou encore les pratiques de consommation (prescriptions religieuses, modes de cuisson potentiellement cancérigènes...). Pour comprendre le présent et explorer le futur, il faut l'Histoire qui éclaire, au travers des sociétés passées, des phénomènes économiques, techniques, sociaux ou culturels aussi fondamentaux que l'acquisition et la découpe des aliments, la constitution de la profession de boucher, les représentations symboliques, les normes sanitaires et les prescriptions religieuses entourant la chair des animaux. Ce livre invite au voyage dans les cultures carnivores, depuis les sociétés anciennes où la viande pouvait nourrir les dieux autant que les hommes, jusqu'à un monde de contradiction, où la « bidochemania » côtoie le véganisme, et où l'on recherche des viandes issues de l'agriculture biologique, produites dans des terroirs de qualité, tout en imaginant une alimentation de demain totalement déconnectée de l'animalité.

    Description: As is known, an objective assessment of scientific activity is one of the most difficult problems, in terms of the relationship within itself as well as with society. However, for many decades, the significance of scientists’ contribution to the development of the corresponding branch of science was assessed by the scientific community only by meaningful qualitative criteria, wherein the principle and mechanism of such an assessment was actually intuitive and defied quantitative description. That is why the urgent task was undertaken to create a system for evaluating scientific activity based on some objective indicators of the activity of a particular scientist; in search of such criteria, in the 1970s–1980s, the term “citation index” appeared. Although a close examination of this indicator revealed its limitations and in a number of cases even inadequacy in assessing scientific activity, it has nevertheless since the 1990s gained very wide popularity in the scientific community. This has contributed to the emergence of numerous works aimed at finding new and ideal indicators for assessing publication activity (so-called bibliometric indices). To date, several dozen such indices have been proposed, the most significant of which was the so-called Hirsch index or h-index. Nevertheless, despite the incredibly significant advances in this specific area of sociology, the above problem is still far from resolved. In this regard, the key task of this Special Issue is to familiarize its readers with the latest achievements both in the search for new, more advanced bibliometric indicators and in the improvement of existing ones.

    Description: Ce livre propose une réflexion sur les relations entre l’histoire du christianisme saisie dans ses origines et les progrès de la méthode historique au cours d’un siècle (1863-1968) ; il contient un hommage à la mémoire d’un éminent historien, Henri-Irénée Marrou, maître inégalé dans les domaines de l’Antiquité tardive et de la méthodologie del’histoire, à l’occasion du xxe anniversaire de sa disparition. Après une réflexion initiale d’Emile Poulat sur la lecture de la Bible, les progrès de la méthode historique appliqués àl’exégèse sont suivis depuis Renan jusqu’au modernismereprésenté ici par Harnack, Loisy et Guignebert. La critique de l’historicisme par Maurice Blondel annonce la sortie du modernisme marquée par les réflexions et les travaux de Raymond Aron et d’Henri-Irénée Marrou dont l’ouvrage De la connaissance historique permet une approche renouvelée de l’histoire des origines du christianisme. Enfin le grand essai d’Henri-Irénée Marrou sur une Théologie de l’Histoire inspirée de saint Augustin et de la culture contemporaine, qui se trouve commenté ici parAndré Mandouze, illustre bien le génie d’un homme quiétait à la fois historien, musicologue, philosophe et théologien.

    Description: The development of new foods or nutraceuticals with health benefits is among today’s most important issues, which presents an opportune moment for the food and/or pharmaceutical industries.

    Description: What is the source of Norway's culture of environmental harmony in our troubled world? Exploring the role of Norwegian scholar-activists of the late twentieth century, Anker shows how their portrayal of Norway as a pristine natural environment of the periphery led to it being fashioned as an idealised ecological microcosm.

    Description: Gender Equality, the fifth UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 5), aims for the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and girls. It thereby addresses all forms of violence, unpaid and unacknowledged care and domestic work, as well as the need for equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life. Thus, the areas in which changes with regard to gender equality on a global scale are needed are very broad. In this volume, we focus on three main areas of inquiry, ‘Sexuality’, ‘Politics of Difference’ and ‘Care, Work and Family’, and raise the following transversal questions: How can gender be addressed in an intersectional perspective, linking gender to further categories of difference, which are involved in discrimination? In which ways are binary notions of gender taking part in inequality regimes and by which means can these binaries be questioned? How can we measure, control and portray progress with regard to gender equality and how do we, in doing so, define gender? Which multi-, inter- or transdisciplinary perspectives are needed for understanding the diversity of gender, in order to support a transition to 'gender equality'? Transitioning to Gender Equality is part of MDPI's new Open Access book series Transitioning to Sustainability. With this series, MDPI pursues environmentally and socially relevant research which contributes to efforts toward a sustainable world. Transitioning to Sustainability aims to add to the conversation about regional and global sustainable development according to the 17 SDGs. Set to be published in 2020/2021, the book series is intended to reach beyond disciplinary, even academic boundaries. MDPI supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

    Description: Les montagnards sont-ils différents ? Sont-ils façonnés par l’espace qu’ils arpentent ? D’où vient leur esprit de famille ou, si l’on préfère, leur goût pour les clans ? On a vu parfois dans les montagnes archaïques et solitaires des réservoirs de prêtres, on a dit qu’elles hébergeaient facilement les maquisards, les insoumis, les sorciers, les juifs, les cathares... Vingt-neuf chercheurs sont allés voir de près. Ils ont bien découvert des familles de prêtres, de ces clans qui donnent à leurs cadets les bases de l’écriture et de la lecture : de quoi en faire en effet des prêtres, mais aussi des colporteurs et des instituteurs... Ils ont mis en valeur la singularité de ces clergés montagnards : prêts à se sacrifier pour leurs familles, pour leurs ancêtres, pour leur foi, pour un absolu, dans toutes les religions, et surtout en cas de faiblesse des pouvoirs supérieurs. Ils ont vu que ces familles devaient trouver en elles-mêmes les règles de leur survie : des subsistances pour le corps, les écritures pour rendre des comptes ; des symboles pour rêver, des rites pour échapper à l’angoisse et d’autres pour maintenir la vie à tout prix. Espace fragile, isolé, grandiose, la montagne s’impose à l’homme dans ses excès. Les hommes des montagnes croient toujours qu’ils ne sont pas tout à fait comme les autres, même et surtout quand ils sont en plaine.

    Description: Die vorliegenden Essays behandeln im Stil der integrierten Bild-Text-Interpretation ausgewählte typische Bildquellen der entwickelten Massenkonsumgesellschaft von Kalenderblättern über Werbung bis Quartettkarten in dem Bemühen, sie durch Fragen nach ihrer Bedeutung für die Identitätskonstruktion ihrer Zielgruppen in den Kontext der Zeit einzuordnen. Es geht darum, den Gesichtspunkt der Massenhaftigkeit in die Deutung einer Quelle einzubeziehen, ihr ,soziales Leben' u.a. durch ein Aufzeigen der Bildroutinen und Genrehaftigkeit der Texte sowie der Strategien von Werbung als Bestandteil der identitätsstiftenden Bedeutung von Technik für uns sichtbar zu machen. Der ausgewählte Zeitraum mit einem Schwerpunkt in den 1920er bis 1960er Jahren spiegelt die technik- wie gesellschaftsgeschichtlich anerkannte Tatsache, dass diese Jahrzehnte eine Achsenzeit insbesondere der Mobilitätstechnik, aber auch auch der ,Demokratisierung' von Technik für alle in der Konsumgesellschaft darstellen. Daher kommt den beiden Mobilitätstechniken Eisenbahn und Auto besondere Bedeutung zu, mit einem deutlichen Schwerpunkt beim Auto als der Identitätsmaschine schlechthin. Der Begriff des Rituals soll auf die Regelmäßigkeit und Dauerhaftigkeit des Auftretens bestimmter Bilder und Aussagen in den befragten Quellen hinweisen, um auf diese Weise zum Verständnis des technikabhängigen sozialen Wandels und der mental formatierenden Wirkung von Bildroutinen beizutragen. Zugleich geht es um die Erschließung von Quellenmaterial, das in der Kulturgeschichte der Technik bislang selten oder jedenfalls nicht mit Blick auf die soziale Konstruktion von Identitäten untersucht worden ist.

    Description: The volume deals with the theme of the feudal question, crucial for the history of the Mezzogiorno, in a long eighteenth century, from the Austrian period to the beginning of nineteenth century. Historiographic debate, legal treaties, philosophical and economic writings, administrative documents, rules and disputes: around feudalism and the role of the feud in the processes of ennobling and social mobility there is a whole interweaving of government interventions, reflections, protests, sometimes rebellions. The feudal question is confirmed as a problematic node of reform policies, of civil and economic development projects of Sicilies in the context of European transformations, and of the historiographic tradition on and of the South. Not only that but, far from a mere polemical invention of the Enlightenment writers, it re-emerges as a constitutive dimension of the social, political and legal organization, although certainly far from representing southern history as a whole. Attempts at reform and resistance unfold throughout the century, from Charles of Bourbon and his minister Bernardo Tanucci up to the anti-feudal law of 1799 and the subversive laws of Giuseppe Bonaparte and Gioacchino Murat.
    Description: Published
    Description: Il volume affronta il tema della questione feudale, cruciale per la storia del Mezzogiorno, in un lungo Settecento, dal viceregno austriaco all’Ottocento preunitario. Dibattito storiografico, trattati giuridici, scritti filosofici ed economici, documenti amministrativi, norme e contestazioni: intorno alla feudalità e al ruolo del feudo nei processi di nobilitazione e di mobilità sociale è tutto un intreccio di interventi governativi, riflessioni, proteste, talora ribellioni. La questione feudale si conferma come nodo problematico delle politiche e dei dibattiti riformatori, dei progetti di sviluppo civile e economico delle Sicilie nel quadro delle trasformazioni e dei condizionamenti europei, e della stessa tradizione storiografica sul e del Mezzogiorno. Non solo ma, tutt’altro che mera invenzione polemica degli scrittori illuministi, riemerge come dimensione costitutiva dell’organizzazione sociale, politica e giuridica, anche se lontana, certo, dal rappresentare nel suo insieme la storia meridionale. Tentativi di riforma e resistenze si snodano lungo l’arco del secolo, da Carlo di Borbone e dal suo ministro Bernardo Tanucci via via fino alla legge antifeudale del 1799 e alle leggi eversive di Giuseppe Bonaparte e Gioacchino Murat.

    Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.

    Description: Medical and philosophical theories of generation from the classical world are often classified according to whether the female as well as the male produces ‘seed’, the fluid substance which does the most important work in procreation. Aristotle is usually identified as the most influential proponent of the ‘one-seed model’, while Galen champions the ‘two-seed’ cause, and the debate between them continues to matter for centuries. At stake here is not just theoretical efficiency – how well the full complexities of parental resemblance are accounted for by the contending notions, for example — but also, it has been suggested, politics and patriarchy. Two seeds are better, more egalitarian, than one: the female role in generation is more positively valued in this model. This chapter will argue that, not only this characterisation, but the division itself, is misleading: particularly if viewed from a fluid perspective. Another way must be found to understand the key concepts involved in these foundational ancient debates about human procreation.

    Description: The impetus behind this Special Issue emerged from a quest to move beyondbinary thinking in the contemporary period about people who sell sexual services,including recent disputes about “sex trafficking vs. prostitution” and“criminalization vs. decriminalization”, to encourage theoretical and empiricalscholarship by exploring how sex work actually operates under different regulatoryregimes. The volume includes contributions from scholars of different socialsciences backgrounds based in five countries– New Zealand, the United Kingdom,Brazil, the United States and Canada. The article topics range widely,and both quantitative and qualitative research methods are showcased. The empiricalevidence presented adds to our current understanding of the complexityof this phenomenon of sex commerce/prostitution, which is found to be largelya problem of social inequality within and across capitalist societies. The authorscall for policies to address occupational and societal wide inequities faced by sexworkers across many countries.

    Description: The historiography of recent decades, based on the edition of numerous sources, has revised the issue of the spread of monastic reform in Southern Italy. In the face of the marginal influence of more widely established movements in Europe, there is instead the emergence of a plurality of experiences in search of an indigenous model of a hermitic and pastoral style. Among these, in its own right, should be inscribed the congregation of St. Mary of Gualdo. Through the analysis of a heterogeneous complex of surviving sources this work aims to reconstruct the genesis of the founding charism and the history of the religious family. Starting from the various hagiographic proposals produced for the founder, John of Tufara, the dynamics related to the institutionalization process will be probed. The support of the Apostolic See will facilitate, meanwhile, the balancing of relations with local bishops for religious organization and expansion, while monarchical authorities and local aristocracies will contribute to economic and patrimonial stabilization, up to the attempt to rise to monastic lordship. The proposed religious model, in addition to responding to the demands of ideals proper to the second revival of hermitism, is structured in a sensitive involvement in pastoral action, even contributing to the disappearance of the phenomenon of private churches. The yearning on the part of the laity to participate in the model of monastic life will find expression in the legal form of self-oblation, memorial practice, burial at the monastery, as well as in the activity of hospices linked to the monastic network and scattered along the pilgrimage routes to the shrine of the Archangel.Due to a series of concauses related to natural phenomena (plagues, earthquakes), internal crises of a religious nature, and finally the radical change in the economic system of the Aragonese age, the congregation will not succeed in remodeling its organization, thus heading toward the complete dissolution that will occur at the beginning of modernity.
    Description: Published
    Description: La storiografia degli ultimi decenni, sulla base dell’edizione di numerose fonti, ha provveduto a revisionare il tema della diffusione della riforma monastica nell’Italia Meridionale. A fronte del marginale influsso di movimenti più largamente affermatisi in Europa, si registra invece la nascita di una pluralità di esperienze alla ricerca di un modello autoctono di stampo eremitico e pastorale. Fra queste, a pieno titolo, va inscritta anche la congregazione di S. Maria del Gualdo. Attraverso l’analisi di un eterogeneo complesso di fonti superstiti questo lavoro si prefigge di ricostruire la genesi del carisma fondazionale e la storia della famiglia religiosa. Muovendo dalle diverse proposte agiografiche prodotte per il fondatore, Giovanni da Tufara, verranno sondate le dinamiche relative al processo di istituzionalizzazione. L’appoggio della Sede Apostolica faciliterà, intanto, l’equilibrio dei rapporti con i vescovi locali per l’organizzazione e l’espansione religiosa, mentre le autorità monarchiche e le aristocrazie locali contribuiranno alla stabilizzazione economica e patrimoniale, fino al tentativo di assurgere a signoria monastica. Il modello religioso proposto, oltre a rispondere alle esigenze di ideali propri della seconda rinascita dell’eremitismo, si struttura in un sensibile coinvolgimento nell’azione pastorale, contribuendo persino alla scomparsa del fenomeno delle chiese private. L’anelito da parte dei laici di partecipare al modello di vita monastica troverà espressione nella forma giuridica della oblazione di sé, nella prassi commemorativa, nella sepoltura presso il monastero, nonché nell’attività di ospizi legati alla rete monastica e disseminati lungo le vie di pellegrinaggio al santuario dell’Arcangelo. Per una serie di concause legate a fenomeni naturali (pestilenze, terremoti), a crisi interne di carattere religioso e infine al radicale mutamento del sistema economico di età aragonese la congregazione non riuscirà a rimodulare la propria organizzazione, avviandosi così verso il completo dissolvimento che sopraggiungerà all’inizio della modernità.

It shows that compulsory military service and war mobilization changed the mission of the Austrian state and citizens' understanding of what they were entitled to, thus showing how war victim welfare was central to shaping modern European welfare state.

In response to these calls for change, a Special Issue of Econometrics (MDPI) has been proposed. This book is a collection of the articles that have been published in this Special Issue. These seven articles add new insights to the problem and propose new methods that lay a solid foundation for the new paradigm for statistical significance.

    Description: La technologie désigne bien souvent les « nouvelles technologies » et les « technosciences » qui réduisent la technique aux applications de la science. Pourtant, au xixe siècle, la technologie revêt un autre sens, celui d’une science de la technique, c’est-à-dire d’une science des arts et des intentions fabricatrices. Le caméralisme a joué un rôle fondamental dans l’édification de cette discipline dont l’un des textes fondateurs est l’Entwurf der algemeinen Technologie de Johann Beckmann (1806). Dans cet essai, Beckmann propose une science nouvelle, la technologie générale, qui classe les activités humaines par opérations. Maintes fois cité et jamais traduit, il fallait rendre disponible en français ce texte essentiel, qui a ouvert la voie à une compréhension générale de l’action et à la philosophie des techniques. Tous ceux qui s’intéressent aux savoirs de l’action trouveront chez Beckmann la tentative la plus aboutie de formalisation du geste comme unité fondamentale de l’activité humaine. Pour la première fois, l’Entwurf der algemeinen Technologie a fait l’objet d’une traduction menée par le regretté Joost Mertens, avec la collaboration de Guillaume Carnino et de Jochen Hoock. À l’occasion de cette publication et afin d’approfondir la réflexion sur le creuset européen de la technologie, une analyse est proposée au fil d’articles qui accompagnent la traduction. L’enjeu est d’une part d’étudier un milieu savant à travers sa formation, ses activités, ses techniques intellectuelles et d’autre part, d’interroger les résonances de la technologie.

    Description: L’histoire de la bureaucratie est une discipline neuve, une histoire-carrefour : peut-on en faire la théorie générale ? Quelles sont les difficultés doctrinales rencontrées par l’historien ? Quels sont les moyens, les méthodes qu’il doit mettre en œuvre ? Comment développer cette histoire souvent piégée ? Ce sont là des questions difficiles, auxquelles on ne peut apporter que des réponses provisoires, incertaines. Guy Thuillier cherche à dégager des principes d’action, à montrer les règles de prudence que l’on doit observer ; c’est une histoire qui exige de l’historien de la flexibilité, de l’invention, du courage, de la prudence, le sens du « probable ». une certaine expérience de la vie et une bonne connaissance des techniques administratives. L’historien n’a pas de modèle à suivre, il doit inventer son chemin, il a toute liberté pour créer ses règles du jeu - ce qui est fort rare en histoire.

    Description: El presente libro es una recopilación de ensayos en torno a la historia internacional del socialismo. El volumen reúne 20 ensayos producidos por las y los integrantes del equipo de investigación sobre historia del socialismo del Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad (CIECS), un organismo dependiente del Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) y de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina. Los trabajos reunidos en este volumen tienen en común no sólo su preocupación por rescatar la historia del socialismo y del movimiento obrero, sino su enfoque explícitamente marxista. El marxismo es mucho más que un marco teórico académico: es una guía para la acción revolucionaria. El propósito de estos ensayos, por ende, no es sólo aplicar las herramientas teóricas del materialismo histórico al análisis de distintos aspectos de la historia del socialismo y de la teoría marxista, sino ante todo contribuir a la lucha por la emancipación de los trabajadores de la explotación capitalista.

    Description: In order to truly understand the emergence, endurance, and legacy of autocracy, this volume of engaging essays explores how autocratic power is acquired, exercised, and transferred or abruptly ended through the careers and politics of influential figures in more than 20 countries and six regions.The book looks at both traditional "hard" dictators, such as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, and more modern "soft" or populist autocrats, who are in the process of transforming once fully democratic countries into autocratic states, including Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, Narendra Modi in India, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary. The authors touch on a wide range of autocratic and dictatorial figures in the past and present, including present-day autocrats, such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, military leaders, and democratic leaders with authoritarian aspirations. They analyze the transition of selected autocrats from democratic or benign semi-democratic systems to harsher forms of autocracy, with either quite disastrous or more successful outcomes.An ideal reader for students and scholars, as well as the general public, interested in international affairs, leadership studies, contemporary history and politics, global studies, security studies, economics, psychology, and behavioral studies.

    Description: This book engages with post-truth as a problem of societal order and for scholarly analysis. It claims that post-truth discourse is more deeply entangled with main Western imaginations of knowledge societies than commonly recognised. Scholarly responses to post-truth have not fully addressed these entanglements, treating them either as something to be morally condemned or as accusations against which scholars have to defend themselves (for having somehow contributed to it). Aiming for wider problematisations, the authors of this book use post-truth to open scholarly and societal assumptions to critical scrutiny. Contributions are both conceptual and empirical, dealing with topics such as: the role of truth in public; deep penetrations of ICTs into main societal institutions; the politics of time in neoliberalism; shifting boundaries between fact – value, politics – science, nature – culture; and the importance of critique for public truth-telling. Case studies range from the politics of nuclear power and election meddling in the UK, over smart technologies and techno-regulation in Europe, to renewables in Australia. The book ends where the Corona story begins: as intensifications of Modernity’s complex dynamics, requiring new starting points for critique.
