    Associative Governance in Scandinavia (2024)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: This edited volume explores a variety of aspects of associative governance, providing detailed case studies of associations and associational governance in Scandinavia. Theoretically developing a concept and approach of associative governance, the book sheds light on a dynamic way of perceiving associative aspects of community and commercial life that has been hitherto underexplored and undertheorized. It shows how governance by associations may be conducted not only bottom‑up by self‑organized and voluntary participation, but also top‑down by authoritative incorporation through government, and – not least – in multifarious interstices in between. New section by exploring a vibrant panoply of dimensions of associative governance, empirically grounded in historical analyses of a wide range of organizational repertoires, the book may provide novel insights into the significant role of associative governance in Scandinavia over the past two centuries. Finally, it provides research‑based knowledge about how to maintain “good political and economic institutions” in the future and a more holistic and dynamic approach to the literature on The Nordic model. The book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic and Scandinavian studies, history, sociology, political science, marketing, social policy, organization theory, and public management.

    Intellectuals in the Latin Space during the Era of Fascism (2024)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: This volume investigates a galaxy of diverse networks and intellectual actors who engaged in a broad political environment, from conservatism to the most radical right, between the World Wars. Looking beyond fascism, it considers the less-investigated domain of the 'Latin space', which is both geographical and cultural, encompassing countries of both Southern Europe and Latin America. Focus is given to mid-level civil servants, writers, journalists and artists and important 'transnational agents' as well as the larger intellectual networks to which they belonged. The book poses such questions as: In what way did the intellectuals align national and nationalistic values with the project of creating a 'Republic of Letters' that extended beyond each country’s borders, a 'space' in which one could produce and disseminate thought whose objective was to encourage political action? What kinds of networks did they succeed in establishing in the interwar period? Who were these intellectuals-in-action? What role did they play in their institutions’ and cultural associations’ activities? A wider and intricate analytical framework emerges, exploring right-wing intellectual agents and their networks, their travels and the circulation of ideas, during the interwar period and on a transatlantic scale, offering an original contribution to the debate on interwar authoritarian regimes and opening new possibilities for research.

    Thirty Years After the Berlin Wall (2024)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: This book examines the increasing body of research dedicated to the lasting differences between the former separate states of the Federal German Republic (FRG) and the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it takes a broad view on German unification and transformation research. Transformation and unification processes in East and West Germany are still ongoing, and they may serve as a model for social change and its political, economic, and psychological consequences. Using advanced statistical methods of analysis, this edited volume provides insights into the valuable contextualization of individual and social phenomena that current research on German unification and transformation is producing. Following the open science mindset using code and data, the authors investigate temporal trends in (1) mental health, (2) political attitudes, and (3) work and family life. It explores changes in mental health and political attitudes, as well as continued differences in work and family arrangements, that may stem from heterogeneous experiences within the systems and during the transformation process. This book will appeal to scholars and students from the disciplines of sociology, political science, public health, social psychology, psychology, and communication science interested in postsocialist transition processes and temporal changes in individuals and societies.

    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: The first English translation of Magnus the Lawmender’s law code, this book allows students and scholars to interpret, compare and add their perspectives to this crucial source to European legal history. The Laws of the Land are one of the very few law books issued in the Middle Ages which regulated a whole kingdom. It stayed in force until the late 17th century, shaping society, politics and law in Norway and its surrounding regions for over 400 years. This book is separated into three parts. The first is an introduction to the laws written by the translator, Jóhanna Katrín Friðriksdóttir. The second and longest section of the book is a complete English translation of the Laws of the Land. The final part is a glossary, which lays out the most important Old Norse legal terms with English translations. The glossary also contains explanations and conversions of religious feast days which are relevant in the law. Providing familiarity with the Laws of the Land, this book is crucial to students and scholars of Medieval history alike to understanding the social, legal, political, and intellectual developments of the Nordic High Middle Ages.

    The Winchester Mint and Coins and Related Finds from the Excavations of 1961-71 (2024)
    Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: Edited by Martin Biddle with a catalogue of the known coins of the mint by Yvonne Harvey, this volume records and illustrates the minting of silver pennies in Winchester between the reigns of Alfred the Great and Henry III, a period of three and a half centuries. At the Mint, which was situated in the area of the High Street to the east of where the city’s cross now stands, at least 24 million silver pennies (possibly as many as 50 million) were struck. Five and a half thousand survive in museums and collections all over the world. These have been sought out and photographed (some 3200 coins in 6400 images detailing both sides), and minutely catalogued by Yvonne Harvey for this volume. 〈br〉〈br〉 During the period from late in the reign of Alfred to the time of Henry III, dies for striking the coins were produced centrally under royal authority in the most sophisticated system of monetary control at the time in the western world. In this first account of a major English mint to have been made in forty years, a team of leading authorities have studied and analysed the use the Winchester moneyers made of the dies, and together with the size, weight, and the surviving number of coins from each pair of dies, have produced a detailed account of the varying fortunes of the mint over this period. Their results are critical for the economic history of England and the changing status of Winchester over this long period, and provide the richest available source for the history of the name of the city and the personal names of its citizens in the later Anglo-Saxon period.

    Putin’s Dark Ages (2024)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Two decades before the war against Ukraine, a “special operation” was launched against Russian historical memory, aggressively reshaping the nation’s understanding of its history and identity. The Kremlin’s militarization of Russia through World War II propaganda is well documented, but the glorification of Russian medieval society and its warlords as a source of support for Putinism has yet to be explored. This book offers the first comparison of Putin’s political neomedievalism and re-Stalinization and introduces the concept of mobmemory to the study of right-wing populism. It argues that the celebration of the oprichnina, Ivan the Terrible’s regime of state terror (1565–1572), has been fused with the rehabilitation of Stalinism to reconstruct the Russian Empire. The post-Soviet case suggests that the global obsession with the Middle Ages is not purely an aesthetic movement but a potential weapon against democracy. The book is intended for students, scholars, and non-specialists interested in understanding Russia’s anti-modern politics and the Russians’ support for the terror unleashed against Ukraine.

    A Critical History of Health Films in Central and Eastern Europe and Beyond (2024)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The burgeoning scholarship on Western health films stands in stark contrast to the vacuum in the historical conceptualization of Eastern European films. This book develops a nonlinear historical model that revises their unique role in the inception of national cinematography and establishing supranational health security. Readers witness the revelation of an unknown history concerning how the health films produced in Eastern European countries not only adopted Western patterns of propaganda but actively participated in its formation, especially with regard to those considered “others”: Women and the populations of the periphery. The authors elaborate on the long “echo” of the discursive practices introduced by health films within public health propaganda, as well as the attempts to negate and deconstruct such practices by rebellious filmmakers. A wide range of methods, including the analysis of the sociological biographies of filmmakers, the historical reconstruction of public campaigns against diseases and an investigation into the production of health films, contextualizes these films along a multifaceted continuum stretching between the adaptation of global patterns and the cultivation of national authenticities. The book is aimed at those who study the history of film, the history of public health, Central and Eastern European countries and global history.

    Advances in UAE Archaeology (2024)
    Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Advances in UAE Archaeology details the results of new excavations conducted across the United Arab Emirates over the last few years. These excavations have revealed a wealth of new data on all periods of UAE archaeology from the Palaeolithic to the recent past. Some of these discoveries have filled in important gaps in our knowledge, while others have fundamentally revised what we thought we knew already. For example, the Marawah Island excavations have added a new facet to our understanding of the Neolithic period by revealing intriguing and hitherto unknown funerary rituals. Excavations in Al Ain in the emirate of Abu Dhabi continue to reveal extraordinary evidence of emgt falaj emgirrigation, stretching back 3000 years. The ubiquity of this system across this oasis city further validates its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of particular importance is the discovery of extensive remains from the Late Pre-Islamic period, a significant time in history that has been best revealed in the excavations at Mleiha in the emirate of Sharjah.The research presented here was conducted by specialists from across the world working alongside an ever-growing cadre of Emirati archaeologists who will take the lead in the coming years in revealing more of this country’s extraordinary archaeology and history.

    Parliaments in the Late Russian Empire, Revolutionary Russia, and the Soviet Union (2024)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: This book examines the meanings that were attached to the terms “parliament” and “parliamentarism” in the different historical and discursive contexts of the late Russian Empire, revolutionary and Soviet Russia, and the Soviet Union. It discusses those institutions referred to as parliaments by contemporaries, gives special attention to their functions, and traces the broader debates on parliamentarism within Russia and the Soviet Union, in Russian émigré circles, and among foreign observers. It highlights that only the late imperial and perestroika assemblies can be considered legislative institutions that expressed dissensus but argues that other assemblies, often referred to as “rubber-stamp” parliaments due to their lack of legislative competence and influence over other authorities, should not be dismissed. The Supreme Soviet, for instance, provided an integrative function binding society and elites in a top-down manner, while its deputies engaged in information acquisition and state micromanagement through interactions with their constituents. It also played an important role in interparliamentary relations and, as one of the first institutions of nominal parliamentarism in an autocratic single-party regime, of which there were many in the twentieth century, served as a model for numerous state socialist regimes. By addressing the role of parliaments in reassembling imperial spaces through political representation and the functions of nominal legislative institutions, the book explores the contribution of Russian and Soviet assemblies to global political modernity.

    Crusade: The Uses of a Word from the Middle Ages to the Present (2024)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The word ‘crusade’ covers today a wide variety of meanings in most European languages. The link between these uses and the historical phenomenon labelled as ‘crusade’ by historians is often very narrow and particularly changing. Understanding the real meaning of the word ‘crusade’, its connotations and implications, and thus the conscious or unconscious intentions of its uses requires a precise knowledge of the historical evolutions of the word, from its first appearance in the 13th century until nowadays. This book offers the first comprehensive view of the historical construction of the meaning of the word ‘crusade’ through comparative perspectives from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. Its 11 articles, introduction and conclusion examine different uses of the word, in a single language or within a specific context, and analyse each of them as a different conceptualisation of the crusading phenomenon. The book explains the progressive widening of the meaning of the term, from a military expedition to Jerusalem to the most metaphorical uses. It demonstrates the differences between the connotations of the word in various languages and cultures and, thus, the variety of its possible uses. It insists on the reluctance and reticence that ‘crusade’ has always provoked since the Middle Ages, precisely because the conceptualisation it implied was not shared by all. The book will be of interest not only for crusade scholars and for diachronic linguists but also for anyone interested in understanding better modern discourses and references to the ‘crusade’ by politicians, activists, and journalists, through a precise inquiry on the historical developments of the word and the variety of its meanings.

    1989 and the West (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Back in 1989, many anticipated that the end of the Cold War would usher in the ‘end of history’ characterized by the victory of democracy and capitalism. At the thirtieth anniversary of this momentous event, this book challenges this assumption. It studies the most recent era of contemporary European history in order to analyse the impact, consequences and legacy of the end of the Cold War for Western Europe. Bringing together leading scholars on the topic, the volume answers the question of how the end of the Cold War has affected Western Europe and reveals how it accelerated and reinforced processes that shaped the fragile (geo-)political and economic order of the continent today. In four thematic sections, the book analyses the changing position of Germany in Europe; studies the transformation of neoliberal capitalism; answers the question how Western Europe faced the geopolitical challenges after the Berlin Wall came down; and investigates the crisis of representative democracy. As such, the book provides a comprehensive and novel historical perspective on Europe since the late 1980s.

    Chapter Material Culture (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time marked by social uncertainty, pandemics, the dislocation of global polities and the rise of radicalisms. The volume offers insights on many themes including trade, the arts, education, language, politics, the press, religion, biodiversity, philanthropy, anti-slavery and imperialism. Established academics and rising stars from different continents and disciplines combined original, primary research with a wide range of secondary sources to produce a rich collection of ten case-studies, 25 biographies and seven samples of interpreted material culture, all presented in an accessible style appealing to scholars, students and the general reader alike.

    Margins for Manoeuvre in Cold War Europe (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Cold War is conventionally regarded as a superpower conflict that dominated the shape of international relations between World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Smaller powers had to adapt to a role as pawns in a strategic game of the superpowers, its course beyond their control. This edited volume offers a fresh interpretation of twentieth-century smaller European powers – East–West, neutral and non-aligned – and argues that their position vis-à-vis the superpowers often provided them with an opportunity rather than merely representing a constraint. Analysing the margins for manoeuvre of these smaller powers, the volume covers a wide array of themes, ranging from cultural to economic issues, energy to diplomacy and Bulgaria to Belgium. Given its holistic and nuanced intervention in studies of the Cold War, this book will be instrumental for students of history, international relations and political science.

    Description: This book traces the development of the Polish theory of history, analysing how Jerzy Topolski, Krzysztof Pomian, and Olga Tokarczuk have both built upon and transgressed the metahistorical theories of American historian Hayden White. Poland’s reception of White’s work has gone through different phases, from distancing to a period of fascination and eventual critical analysis, beginning with Topolski's methodological school in the 1980s. Topolski played a major role in international debates on historical theory in the second half of the 20th century. The book’s second study is a rare opportunity for English-speaking audiences to engage with the thoughts of Pomian, a philosopher and historian of ideas who has both complemented and developed theories of historical cognition independently from White. In the final chapter, the book presents a study of the historical imagination in 21st-century Central and Eastern Europe through the work of novelist Tokarczuk, the winner of the 2018Nobel Prize in Literature. In considering the contributions of these three thinkers, the book explores the active process by which past becomes history and thus motivates contemporary actions and realities. By deconstructing and reconstructing contemporary theories of history, this research is a unique contribution to the fields of historiography and the philosophy of history.

    Suburbia and Rural Landscapes in Medieval Sicily (2023)
    Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Suburbia and Rural Landscapes in Medieval Sicily presents the results of the main ongoing archaeological and historical research focusing on medieval suburbia and rural sites in Sicily. It is thus intended to update traditional views regarding the evolution of this territory from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages by bringing into the picture new data from archaeological excavations undertaken at several sites across Sicily, new information from surveys of written sources, and new reflections based on the analysis of both material and documentary sources. The volume is divided into thematic areas: Urbanscapes, suburbia, hinterlands; Inland and mountainous landscapes; Changes in rural settlement patterns; and Defence and control of the territory. The essays underline the fundamental contribution of archaeological research in Sicily to the debate on the formation of early medieval landscapes at the crossroads between the Byzantine and Islamic worlds. A comparison with other research areas and constant dialogue with historical sources constitute essential elements for advancing our knowledge of the rural and suburban world of Sicily as a case study illustrating wider Mediterranean dynamics.

    Chapter 3 National Myths and Language Status in Early Modern Wales and Brittany (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: This chapter explores how the revision of national myths in Early Modern Britain and France reflects conflicts and contradictions between the perspectives of the dominant nations, England and France, and those of two subordinate nations, Wales and Brittany, formally annexed by their larger neighbours in the 16th century, and how the national myths in turn impinged on the status of the vernacular languages of the subordinate nations, Welsh and Breton. In order to legitimise the new Church of England, English protestant apologists claimed that its protestant faith was the continuation of the pure faith of the Early Church, which the ancient Britons, ancestors of the Welsh, had acquired directly from a disciple of Christ. Richard Davies’ preface to the 1567 Welsh New Testament, however, re-appropriated the narrative as specifically Welsh. Davies’ narrative was influential in Wales and contributed to a cultural context, together with the Welsh Bible translation, in which the Welsh language could flourish despite the increasing dominance of English. In the case of Brittany and France, the paper explores the contradiction between the antiquarian prestige conferred upon Breton by contemporary language antiquity myths and its actual subordinate sociolinguistic status vis-a-vis French.

    Taylor & Francis | The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time marked by social uncertainty, pandemics, the dislocation of global polities and the rise of radicalisms. The volume offers insights on many themes including trade, the arts, education, language, politics, the press, religion, biodiversity, philanthropy, anti-slavery and imperialism. Established academics and rising stars from different continents and disciplines combined original, primary research with a wide range of secondary sources to produce a rich collection of ten case-studies, 25 biographies and seven samples of interpreted material culture, all presented in an accessible style appealing to scholars, students and the general reader alike.

    The Roman Lower Danube Frontier (2023)
    Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Over the past few decades, there has been a significant amount of research on the Roman Lower Danube frontier by international teams focusing on individual forts or broader landscape survey work; collectively, this volume represents the best of this collaboration with the aim of elevating the Lower Danube within broader Roman frontier scholarship.The Lower Danube, running between Singidunum (modern Belgrade) and Halmyris in the Danube Delta, was one of the most densely fortified regions of the Roman Empire. The region has long been a border zone, today forming part of the border between Serbia and Romania, and the majority of the border between Romania and Bulgaria. Despite its importance for understanding both Roman frontier policy and the relationship between ancient and modern borderscapes, the region has not yet made its full contribution to international Roman scholarship. Bridging the theoretical divide that exists between different regional research traditions, chapters in this volume focus on sites like Ratiaria, in modern north-western Bulgaria, while other contributors examine the complex landscape from a wider perspective oriented around roads, temporary camps, or early Christian sites. The Roman Lower Danube Frontier emphasises the importance of engaging with Roman frontier landscapes, particularly in regions such as East-Central Europe, where they remain part of a contemporary borderscape.

    Untold Stories of the Spanish Civil War (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This is the first scholarly volume to offer an insight into the less known stories of women, children, and international volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Special attention is given to volunteers of different historical experiences, especially Jews, and voices from less researched countries in the context of the Spanish war, such as Palestine and Turkey. Of an interdisciplinary nature, this volume brings together historians and literary scholars from different countries. Their research is based on newly found primary sources in both national and private archives, as well as on post-essentialist methodological insights for women’s history, Jewish history, and studies on belonging. By bringing together a group of emerging and senior scholars from different countries, we highlight the polyphony of voices of diverse individuals drawn into the Spanish Civil War. Contributors to this volume have explored new or little researched primary sources found in archives and documentary centers, including papers held by relatives of the people we study. The volume is aimed at both scholarly and non-scholarly public, including any readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, twentieth-century European history, Jewish studies, women’s history, or anti-Fascism. The volume can be used in both undergraduate college courses and in postgraduate university seminars.

    The Spanish Habsburgs and Dynastic Rule, 1500–1700 (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Providing a novel research methodology for students and scholars with an interest in dynasties, at all levels, this book explores the Spanish Habsburg dynasty that ruled the Spanish monarchy between c. 1515 and 1700. Instead of focusing on the reigns of successive kings, the book focuses on the Habsburgs as a family group that was constructed in various ways: as a community of heirs, a genealogical narrative, a community of the dead and a ruling family group. These constructions reflect the fact that dynasties do not only exist in the present, as kings, queens or governors, but also in the past, in genealogies, and in the future, as a group of hypothetical heirs. This book analyses how dynasties were ‘made’ by the people belonging to them. It uses a social institutionalist framework to analyse how family dynamics gave rise to practices and roles. The kings of Spain only had limited power to control the construction of their dynasty, since births and deaths, processes of dynastic centralisation, pressure from subjects, relatives’ individual agency, rivalry among relatives and the institutionalisation of roles limited their power. Including several genealogical tables to support students new to the Spanish Habsburgs, this book is essential reading for all students of early modern Europe and the history of monarchy.

    Translations of Responsibility (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In 2020, a group of European researchers got a European Union (EU) grant to do a project called TRANSFORM. The objective of TRANSFORM was to integrate the principle of responsible research and innovation (RRI) into the research and innovation policies of three European regions: Lombardy, Brussels, and Catalonia. This book tells the story of how TRANSFORM translated RRI into practice, all the way from philosophy of technology to EU policy jargon, to the project contract, and finally into the real-life events in these regions. Responsibility was translated in creative ways, with surprising goals and ambiguous outcomes. Armed with these stories, the book analyses the broader context of the desire for better governance of technoscience and draws two lessons: Firstly, that there is more governance than one may see at first sight, and secondly, that there is a need to rethink the borders of technoscience and the spaces in which it resides. The book proposes to think of governance in technoscience, rather than governance of technoscience.

    Language Dynamics in the Early Modern Period (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the linguistic situation in Europe was one of remarkable fluidity. Latin, the great scholarly lingua franca of the medieval period, was beginning to crack as the tectonic plates shifted beneath it, but the vernaculars had not yet crystallized into the national languages that they would later become, and multilingualism was rife. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, languages were coming into contact with an intensity that they had never had before, influencing each other and throwing up all manner of hybrids and pidgins as peoples tried to communicate using the semiotic resources they had available. Of interest to linguists, literary scholars and historians, amongst others, this interdisciplinary volume explores the linguistic dynamics operating in Europe and beyond in the crucial centuries between 1400 and 1800. Assuming a state of individual, societal and functional multilingualism, when codeswitching was the norm, and languages themselves were fluid, unbounded and porous, it explores the shifting relationships that existed between various tongues in different geographical contexts, as well as some of the myths and theories that arose to make sense of them.

    Masculine Ideals and Alexander the Great (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: From premodern societies onward, humans have constructed and produced images of ideal masculinity to define the roles available for boys to grow into, and images for adult men to imitate. The figure of Alexander the Great has fascinated people both within and outside academia. As a historical character, military commander, cultural figure and representative of the male gender, Alexander’s popularity is beyond dispute. Almost from the moment of his death Alexander’s deeds have had a paradigmatic aspect: for over 2300 years he has been represented as a paragon of manhood - an example to be followed by other men - and through his myth people have negotiated assumptions about masculinity. This work breaks new ground by considering the ancient and medieval reception of Alexander the Great from a gender studies perspective. It explores the masculine ideals of the Greco-Roman and medieval past through the figure of Alexander the Great, analysing the gendered views of masculinities in those periods and relates them to the ways in which Alexander’s masculinity was presented. It does this by investigating Alexander’s appearance and its relation to definitions of masculinity, the way his childhood and adulthood are presented, his martial performance and skill, proper and improper sexual behaviour, and finally through his emotions and mental attributes. Masculine Ideals and Alexander the Great will appeal to students and scholars alike as well as to those more generally interested in the portrayal of masculinity and gender, particularly in relation to Alexander the Great and his image throughout history.

    Whose Heritage? (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: This edited collection challenges and re-imagines what is ‘heritage’ in Britain as a globalised, vernacular, cosmopolitan ‘post-nation’. It takes its inspiration from the foundational work of public intellectual Stuart Hall (1932-2014). Hall was instrumental in calling out embedded elitist conceptions of ‘The Heritage’ of Britain. The book’s authors challenge us to reconsider what is valued about Britain’s past, its culture and its citizens. Populist discourses around the world, including Brexit and ‘culture war’ declarations in the UK, demonstrate how heritage and ideas of the past are mobilised in racist politics. The multidisciplinary chapters of this book offer critical inspections of these politics, and dig deeply into the problems of theory, policy and practice in today’s academia, society and heritage sector. The volume challenges the lack of action since Hall rebuked ‘The Heritage’ twenty years ago. The authors featured here are predominantly Black Britons, academics and practitioners engaged in culture and heritage, spurred by the killing of George Floyd and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement to contest racist practices and structures that support them. The primary audience will be academics, but it will also attract culture sector practitioners and heritage institutions. However, the book is particularly aimed at scholars and community members who identify as Black, who are centrally concerned with questions of identity and race in British society. Its Open Access status will facilitate access to the book by all groups in society.

    Description: This book examines how Pompeian peristyle gardens were utilized to represent the socioeconomic status of Roman homeowners, introducing fresh perspectives on how these spaces were designed, used, and perceived. Pompeian Peristyle Gardens provides a novel understanding of how the domus was planned, utilized, and experienced through a critical examination of all Pompeian peristyles – not just by selecting a few well-known examples. This study critiques common scholarly assumptions of ancient domestic space, such as the top-down movement of ideas and the relationship between wealth and socio-political power, though these possibilities are not excluded. In addition, this book provides a welcome contribution to exploring the largely unexamined middle class, an integral part of ancient Roman society. Pompeian Peristyle Gardens is of interest to students and scholars in art history, classics, archaeology, social history, and other related fields.

    The search for wellbeing and health between the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Search for Wellbeing and Health between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period compiles a series of works on cosmetics and health care, covering different geographical areas of Europe. The studies also focus on different cultures, with some chapters dedicated to the Hebrew sphere, others to the Muslim world, and a larger percentage dealing with Christian society. The contributions make use of some very important written sources: recipe books and treatises on medicine and cosmetics, especially those preserved from the Late Middle Ages (13th-15th centuries) onwards. These manuscripts reveal the raw materials used to make certain products, whose origin could be vegetable, animal or mineral. Many were used to combat various ailments, but also to take care of the body aesthetically. Thus, there are remedies to heal the eyes; to avoid problems with the teeth and to make them shine white; creams and soaps for the skin; hair dyes to avoid grey hair; lotions to combat baldness; and even diverse gastronomic recipes to obtain inner wellbeing. Other contributions take a more practical perspective. Studies are included in which some of the ingredients and products are explored through experimental archaeology (chemical analysis) and faunal remains obtained from archaeological campaigns are analysed in the laboratory, showing the Christian diet. Overall the book demonstrates the importance of healthcare and cosmetics in past societies that had very significant technical knowledge of a multitude of completely natural and sustainable products.

    Rethinking the History of Democracy in Spain (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Focusing on the processes of political socialisation and democratisation that took place in Spain during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book brings together specialists who propose the need to rethink the contemporary history of democracy in Spain to build a new narrative. To do so, the authors go down to the local level, where they are able to trace a political culture that forged the foundations of a process of political ""modernization"" much more complex than what conventional historiography has conveyed, even though it was not always transferred institutionally to the national level. The idea of a rural Spain that was backward, apolitical, violent and unprepared for democracy gives way to a more interesting history which, while recognising the peculiarities of the country and the important limitations to democracy, shows examples that could help build a new narrative closer those of other neighbouring countries. Aimed at contemporary historians interested in Spain and Europe, the book also addresses the debates faced by other social scientists on the concept of democracy. This dialogue between history, sociology and political science is particularly present in a special final chapter featuring a discussion of democracy and its application to Spanish history.

    The Origins of Anti-Authoritarianism (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book discusses the ongoing revolution of dignity in human history as the work of ‘humanist outliers’: small groups and individuals dedicated to compassionate social emancipation. It argues that anti-authoritarian revolutions like 1989’s ‘Autumn of the Nations’ succeeded in large part due to cultural and political innovations springing from such small groups. The author explores the often ingenious ways in which these maladapted and liminal ‘outliers’ forged a cooperative and dialogic mindset among previously resentful and divided communities. Their strategies warrant closer scrutiny in the context of the ongoing 21st century revolution of dignity and efforts to (re)unite an ever more troubled and divided world.

    Democracy and Sovereignty in Spain (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book delves into the conceptual changes produced by the Spanish constitutional debate held between 27 August and 9 December 1931. Taking place at the beginning of Spain’s Second Republic, those parliamentary deliberations brought about significant novelties in the political vocabulary. Concepts such as democracy, sovereignty, reform, revolution, and freedom, among others, were re-signified. This study investigates the conceptual contributions made by Spanish MPs in the course of the constitutional debate of 1931 by assuming, as a research approach, an interdisciplinary stance combining conceptual history, political theory, and parliamentary constitutional history. By doing so, it selects five determining issues: the pervasive discussion about two competing meanings of a democratic state; the rhetorical uses of reform and revolution; conceptual controversies about religious freedom; the disputed idea of property rights; and the functions of parliament and the president of the republic in a semi-presidential regime. The constitutional debate was largely inspired by interwar European constitutionalism which constituent representatives used to update the Spanish constitutional tradition. With that goal in mind, this book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students and scholars working in the fields of conceptual history, political philosophy, parliamentary history, European political history, and European constitutionalism.

    Chapter 1 Spanish ‘Colonies’ (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time marked by social uncertainty, pandemics, the dislocation of global polities and the rise of radicalisms. The volume offers insights on many themes including trade, the arts, education, language, politics, the press, religion, biodiversity, philanthropy, anti-slavery and imperialism. Established academics and rising stars from different continents and disciplines combined original, primary research with a wide range of secondary sources to produce a rich collection of ten case-studies, 25 biographies and seven samples of interpreted material culture, all presented in an accessible style appealing to scholars, students and the general reader alike.

    Excavations at Chester. Roman Land Division and a Probable Villa in the Hinterland of Deva (2023)
    Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Excavations at Chester. Roman land division and a probable villa in the hinterland of Deva reports on excavations carried out by Northern Archaeological Associates (NAA) at Saighton Camp – a former British Army training camp – located to the south of the Roman legionary fortress of Chester (Deva Victrix) which revealed important and extensive Roman period remains. Part of a high-status settlement of second- to fourth-century date, together with a regular field system laid out over more than 20 hectares, were encountered.The excavated settlement appears to be an ancillary area to a much larger site, the centre of which lies to the south and is believed to be a villa. This is the closest such site to Chester, and villas are notably rare in the region. The field system was probably laid out by the legion at Deva as part of the prata legionis, agricultural lands they controlled around the fortress.

    Exécuter la loi (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: « Il ne suffit pas d'avoir des lois, il faut encore veiller à leur exécution […]. Que seraient les meilleures lois si elles n'étaient pas exécutées ? De pures abstractions. » Cette mise en garde du député Vienot-Vaublanc témoigne du problème aussi crucial que récurrent qu'a constitué, tout au long de la période révolutionnaire, l'exécution des lois. Comment s'assurer que tous les décrets votés par les assemblées ont bel et bien été exécutés alors même que leur « mise en actes » incombe constitutionnellement au pouvoir exécutif ? Comment faire en sorte que ces décrets soient bel et bien respectés « à la lettre » par ceux qui sont chargés de les faire exécuter (les ministres) et de les faire appliquer (les administrateurs locaux), ces agents se permettant trop souvent d'en détourner la « lettre » ou d'en dévoyer l'« esprit » ? Comment, enfin, parvenir à ce que les lois soient comprises et admises des citoyens qui sont tenus de s'y conformer, mais qui ne manquent jamais d'en contester la teneur ? Si déterminantes qu'elles soient dans le cadre de la construction et de la stabilisation d'un État de droit, ces questions n'ont jusqu’ici fait l’objet d'aucune étude systématique. Cet ouvrage se propose d'esquisser les premières lignes d'une histoire encore trop largement méconnue pour la période révolutionnaire. Réunissant les contributions d'un ensemble de jeunes chercheurs, il interroge les mécanismes complexes de l'exécution de la loi en termes d'échelles, d'acteurs et de pratiques afin de questionner l'efficience du pouvoir exécutif en regard de l'effectivité des lois révolutionnaires.

    Between Roman Culture and Local Tradition (2023)
    Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Between Roman Culture and Local Tradition presents a detailed analysis of the Roman provincial coinage of Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan (98-117), when 14 cities struck coins. The book characterises individual mints, the rhythm of monetary production, iconography and legends, and considers the attribution and dating of individual issues. Context is provided by studies on other categories of artefacts discovered in the local area, including epigraphic and material ones, such as fine art, sculptures and architectural remains. The extent of circulation is also analysed, as well as the coinage of the border centres of neighbouring provinces such as Thrace, Asia and Galatia-Cappadocia. Reference is made to historical sources, principally the correspondence of Pliny the Younger with the emperor, which can help to show the realities of life for the inhabitants of individual centres, including ongoing construction projects or local problems. Overall the book aims to reconstruct the coinage policy of individual cities and culture and religion in various centres during this period, as well as contacts and relationships among the local communities. In turn, the studies of individual cities allow for the creation of a general picture of coinage in the province.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This chapter addresses the interpretations of the emerging social question in the field of post-revolutionary French liberalism. It focuses on the cholera outbreak of 1832 to describe how it fostered unprecedented and dramatic representations of urban pauperism chiefly marked by feelings of panic and distress with respect to the new “dangerous classes” brought into being by the Industrial Revolution. By analysing the pandemic crisis, the chapter shows that these subjects were initially perceived not merely as a different social class, but also – and especially – as a different “race,” according to a conception exemplified by the metaphor of “new barbarians” invading the manufacturing cities. Hence, the chapter retraces a transformation whereby these initial representations of the subaltern classes based on fear and exclusion gradually gave way to the rise of social research on the subaltern classes aimed at elaborating new welfare policies as risk reduction strategies. These initiatives of social investigation are described as marking the origins of the methods and epistemology of modern social sciences, which are the focus of the following chapter.

    Des liaisons avantageuses (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: L'amitié, la parenté, le patronage : autant de relations personnelles de dépendance mobilisées avec efficacité dans l'Europe du XVIIIe siècle. À la croisée d'une histoire sociale et culturelle du fait politique, ce livre analyse un mode d'action spécifique, représentatif de la culture politique de la seconde modernité. Ces liaisons avantageuses, qu'un ensemble de pratiques spécifiques permettent d'entretenir, représentent alors un capital social d'autant plus essentiel qu'il est l'une des conditions de l'action politique efficace. Les principaux acteurs de cet ouvrage sont des ministres des principautés de Brunswick-Lunebourg, de Saxe, de Prusse, de Cologne et de Wolfenbüttel : en observant la manière dont ils utilisaient, dans le cadre de l'action diplomatique, les relations qu'ils avaient su tisser, en Allemagne mais aussi en Europe, ce sont surtout des connexions et des pratiques européennes que ce travail fait apparaître. L'ouvrage croise ainsi trois objets historiographiques : les relations de dépendance, qui apparaissent dans toute leur importance politique ; le Saint-Empire, dont le fonctionnement n'est pas analysé à partir de son système juridique ou de ses institutions, mais des relations sociales qui le fondent en tant que société politique ; la diplomatie européenne, enfin. Le constat du rôle fondamental, dans l'action diplomatique, des réseaux personnels des ministres, permet de questionner le modèle d'une diplomatie européenne qui serait devenue toujours plus professionnelle et spécialisée au cours des siècles.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Portus, investigaciones geoarqueológicas en el muelle este-oeste collects the scientific results of the geoarchaeological project on the east-west pier of Portus (Rome) developed within the framework of the Archaeological Projects Abroad program of the Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte of the Kingdom of Spain, and also under a collaboration agreement between the University of Huelva and the Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica. Since 2017, without interruption until the present, various excavation and study campaigns have focused their efforts on the pier via an inter- and multidisciplinary methodology involving archaeologists, geologists, palaeobotanists and palaeontologists. Thus, excavation activities, geophysical prospecting, petrographic, archaeometric studies and architectural analysis have been developed, always with the application of new photogrammetric techniques and laser scanning, which have allowed us to obtain a significant volume of data. Its analysis and interpretation now gives the most extensive and up-to-date picture of one of the most interesting and extensive docks in Portus, with new contributions related to its chronology, with a building phase from the fourth century AD; its construction system, whose foundations have been determined; the surrounding paleoenvironment, with new data related to the silting process of the Claudio inlet; as well as the changes that occured in the transition to the Early Middle Ages, among others.

    Description: This volume presents the first extensive census of the surviving copies of the treatise Historia Naturalis Brasiliae in libraries worldwide and examines the book from a variety of interdisciplinary viewpoints. The chapters in this volume are written by scholars from different fields of knowledge, including anthropology, botany, linguistics, literature, book history, medieval and early modern history, and art history. The chapters contextualize the treatise vis-à-vis its predecessors and contemporaneous works of natural history and examine its botanical, zoological, and linguistic accuracy and usefulness in the present day. Put together, the seven chapters of this volume present a kaleidoscope of possibilities of how to re-interpret Piso and Marcgraf’s work within the dynamic context of knowledge-production about the ‘New’ World in the early modern era, while also suggesting approaches to continue profiting from its subject matter in the present day. Toward an Intercultural Natural History of Brazil offers essential reading on the Historia Naturalis Brasiliae, natural history and Latin American history.

    Globalizing the Soybean (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: Globalizing the Soybean asks how the soybean conquered the West and analyzes why and how the crop gained entry into agriculture and industry in regions beyond Asia in the first half of the twentieth century.　 Historian Ines Prodöhl describes the soybean’s journey centered on three hubs: Northeast China, as the crop’s main growing area up to the Second World War; Germany, to where most of the beans in the interwar period were shipped; and the United States, which became the leading cultivator of soy worldwide during the 1940s. This book explores the German and U.S. adoption of the soybean being closely tied to global economic and political changes, such as the two world wars and the Great Depression. The attraction of the soybean to stakeholders on both sides of the Atlantic was linked to a need for cheap alternatives to butter and lard and a desire for greater quantities of meat, which led to the soybean becoming a cheap resource for fat and fodder. Only occasionally was it also used as food. This volume is useful for anyone who is studying or interested in economic history and commodity trading in the twentieth century. It is also connected to the histories of capitalism, globalization, imperialism, and materiality.

    Cities and Local Governments in Central Asia (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book presents the changing roles of urban governments and how local governments struggle to gain administrative, fiscal, and political power to combat current urban challenges in Kazakhstan. Focusing on the cities and regions selected by the national government of Kazakhstan to be the drivers of national economic development, the author analyses the impact of decentralization on the role of local governments. The book examines the practical experiences of city and regional governments with an emphasis on urban planning, public investment in national projects, and management of urban transport. Due to the complexity and irregular distribution of political reforms at different levels of local government in Kazakhstan, three separate studies are presented, each looking at a specific aspect of decentralization reform and local government function related to physical urban development and distribution of public investment. The author argues that, if the national government of Kazakhstan wants to concentrate economic resources in urban agglomerations, it is not enough to assume that local governments are ready to play the role of efficient planners and managers of urban development. A useful analysis illustrating cities and urban conglomerations as engines of growth in economic development, this book will be of interest to academics studying Central Asian Studies, in particular political and economic development, Development Studies, and Urban Studies.

    Diversity and Empires (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Examining diversity as a fundamental reality of empire, this book explores European colonial empires, both terrestrial and maritime, to show how they addressed the questions of how to manage diversity. These questions range from the local to the supra-regional, and from the management of people to that of political and judicial systems. Taking an intersectional approach incorporating categories such as race, religion, subjecthood, and social and legal status, the contributions of the volume show how old and new modes of creating social difference took shape in an increasingly globalized early modern world, and what contemporary legacies these ‘diversity formations’ left behind. This volume shows diversity and imperial projects to be both contentious and mutually constitutive: on the one hand, the conditions of empire created divisions between people through official categorizations (such as racial classifications and designations of subjecthood) and through discriminately applied extractive policies, from taxation to slavery. On the other hand, imperial subjects, communities, and polities within and adjacent to the empire asserted themselves through a diverse range of affiliations and identities that challenged any notion of a unilateral, universal imperial authority. This book highlights the multidimensionality and interconnectedness of diversity in imperial settings and will be useful reading to students and scholars of the history of colonial empires, global history, and race.

Ces deux parties sont à bien des égards originales : • La première, par son exploration scientifique d’un matériau généralement négligé, au motif qu’il n’aurait d’autre intérêt que de restituer la rhétorique des candidats à la députation ; • La seconde, par la reproduction des textes analysés — les proclamations électorales des députés du pays « nantais » — donnant ainsi au lecteur l’ac­cès direct aux matériaux utilisés. L’ensemble de la contribution devrait retenir l’intérêt tant des chercheurs que des lecteurs sensibilisés à une histoire politique tout à la fois concrète et néan­moins contextualisée. Par ailleurs, cet ouvrage complète, prolonge Monarchie et Modernité publié chez le même éditeur.

    Les liaisons interdites (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: L’inceste marque de sa monstruosité les consciences collectives. Cantonné dans la sphère du tabou et de l’infamie, nul ne peut le discuter, nul ne peut le pratiquer. Le phénomène existe pourtant sous différentes formes selon les sociétés dans lesquelles il est rencontré et pensé. En France, au xixe siècle, l’inceste a une histoire. Lorsqu’en 1791 les Constituants décident de le décriminaliser, la société française voit s’ouvrir un siècle de débats qui conduit à une requalification profonde du phénomène et de son imaginaire. L’étude croisée des discours entretenus par les élites souligne les étapes qui ont présidé à la construction de l’inceste criminel. À la fin du siècle, il n’est plus l’apanage des aristocrates décriés par les Lumières mais bien celui d’hommes pauvres, devenus les symboles d’une nouvelle dangerosité. La justice, par l’entrelacement de ses échelles et de ses acteurs, contribue également à fabriquer et à imposer progressivement ce masque sur le phénomène incestueux. Mais l’inceste n’est pas qu’un crime au xixe siècle. En tentant de pénétrer au cœur même des familles, cet ouvrage montre qu’il peut également être une sexualité consentie qui se pratique dans la clandestinité de certains foyers français. Réalité multiforme, interdit plus que tabou, l’inceste mérite en ce sens d’être replacé dans une histoire plus courte que l’intemporalité des anthropologues.

    Dictators and Autocrats (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    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.

    Les immortels du Sénat, 1875-1918 (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Ce livre s’inscrit clans la série des recherches suscitées par l’enquête sur le personnel parlementaire de la Troisième République, entreprise par l’URA 1016 du CNRS, au sein du Centre d’histoire du xixe siècle qui asso­cie les Universités de Paris I et de Paris IV. Cet ouvrage porte sur une catégorie de sénateurs aujourd’hui oubliée : les inamovibles, nommés d’abord par l’Assemblée nationale, puis par le Sénat, conformément à la loi constitutionnelle du 24 février 1875. Jusqu’à la révision constitutionnelle de 1884, qui mit fin à ce mode de désignation, il y eut cent seize sénateurs inamovibles. Les diverses contributions réunies dans la première partie apportent des éléments de réflexion sur les origines sociales et la formation, les alliances et réseaux familiaux, les attitudes philosophiques et spirituelles, les liens avec le monde militaire, le barreau, le monde académique. Il fallait évo­quer leur enracinement provincial, leur place dans les conseils du gouver­nement, leur comportement politique grâce à quelques scrutins qui per­mettent au reste de décrire tendances et groupes dans le Sénat des débuts de la République. Enfin, les obsèques des sénateurs inamovibles et la mémoire qui les accompagne constituent comme le tombeau de ces « immortels » de la République. Les profils biographiques présentés ensuite trouveront sûrement l’attention de tous ceux qui s’intéressent aux élites socio-politiques de la France contemporaine. On découvre nombre de personnalités dont les débuts, non seulement professionnels mais politiques, datent de la monar­chie de Juillet, voire de la fin de la Restauration. Certaines de leurs exis­tences. et pas seulement celles des officiers de l’armée de terre ou de marine, sont marquées au coin du romanesque. Elles font revivre, comme en un éclair, l’histoire mouvementée de la France du xixe siècle, jalonnée par les révolutions, les changements de régime, les choix difficiles entre fidélité et ralliement. Ce livre éclaire une institution rarement étudiée et un personnel mal connu, qui doit tant à la France des notables, une France de propriétaires et de juristes, attachée au libéralisme.

    Description: Héritier d’une dynastie bourgeoise du Dauphiné, Casimir Perier (1777-1832) est l’une des personnalités éminentes du premier xixe siècle français. Membre de la Haute Banque parisienne, Régent de la Banque de France et chef d’entreprise, il fut un pionnier de la modernisation de l’économie nationale. Il mit son autorité, son énergie et son sens des responsabilités au service d’une activité politique commencée sous la Restauration, dans les rangs de l’opposition libérale. Ministre de Louis-Philippe, il donna la pleine mesure de ses qualités d’homme d’Etat en se plaçant délibérément au-dessus des partis et en adoptant une politique d’indépendance nationale. Par l’ampleur de son action marquée du sceau de sa vive intelligence, Casimir Perier prend un relief particulier dans la France des Notables.

    Le commissaire de police au xixe siècle (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: On connaît bien le commissaire de police du xxe siècle, devenu une figure familière grâce à la fiction, dans la littérature d’abord, au cinéma et à la télévision ensuite. On connaît beaucoup moins bien son devancier du xixe siècle, mal vu par ses contemporains et négligé par les historiens. Il ne correspond pourtant que peu à l’image du froid bureaucrate à laquelle on l’a souvent réduit. Si, contrairement à l’inspecteur ou au « limier » de la Sûreté, il n’a alors guère sollicité l’imaginaire, ce fonctionnaire moderne a constitué à partir de la célèbre loi de février 1800 (28 pluviôse an VIII) un rouage essentiel de la construction de l’État. Au contact de citadins de plus en plus nombreux, il a été un agent décisif de l’acculturation à la norme et à l’autorité, gérant au jour le jour les transgressions ordinaires, contribuant à l’édification d’un ordre quotidien. Homme de l’entre-deux — entre pouvoir central et pouvoir local, entre État et société, élites sociales et petit peuple urbain, politisation et professionnalisation —, il résume et accompagne bien des contradictions du siècle. Cet ouvrage collectif, dirigé par Dominique Kalifa (Paris 1) et Pierre Karila-Cohen (Rennes 2), est le premier livre entièrement consacré à ce personnage méconnu qu’il étudie en un long xixe siècle, de la Révolution à la Grande Guerre. Aussi attentif aux origines sociales des commissaires qu’à leurs itinéraires, à leurs pratiques professionnelles ou à leurs conditions de vie, il offre aussi une ample sélection de documents, pour partie inédits, qui témoignent de l’activité quotidienne de ces policiers, appelés à devenir une des figures majeures de notre contemporain.

    Public and Private Welfare in Modern Europe (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Since the 1980s, neoliberals have openly contested the idea that the state should protect the socio-economic well-being of its citizens, making ‘privatization’ their mantra. Yet, as historians and social scientists have shown, welfare has always been a ‘mixed economy’, wherein private and public actors dynamically interacted, collaborating or competing with each other in the provision of welfare services. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners of welfare by developing three innovative approaches. Firstly, it　illuminates the productive nature of public/private entanglements. Far from amounting to a zero-sum game, the interactions between the two sectors have changed over time what welfare encompasses, its contents and targets, often engendering the creation of new fields of intervention. Secondly, this book departs from a well-established tradition of comparison between Western nation-states by using and mixing various scales of analysis (local, national, international and global) and by covering case studies from Spain to Poland and France to Greece in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Thirdly, this book goes beyond state centrism in welfare studies by bringing back a host of public and private actors, from municipalities to international organizations, from older charities to modern NGOs.

    Gender and History (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book provides an overview of Irish gender history from the end of the Great Famine in 1852 until the foundation of the Irish Free State in 1922. It builds on the work that scholars of women’s history pioneered and brings together internationally regarded experts to offer a synthesis of the current historiography and existing debates within the field. The authors place emphasis on highlighting new and exciting sources, methodologies, and suggested areas for future research. They address a variety of critical themes such as the family, reproduction and sexuality, the medical and prison systems, masculinities and femininities, institutions, charity, the missions, migration, ‘elite women’, and the involvement of women in the Irish nationalist/revolutionary period. Envisioned to be both thematic and chronological, the book provides insight into the comparative, transnational, and connected histories of Ireland, India, and the British empire. An important contribution to the study of Irish gender history, the volume offers opportunities for students and researchers to learn from the methods and historiography of Irish studies. It will be useful for scholars and teachers of history, gender studies, colonialism, post-colonialism, European history, Irish history, Irish studies, and political history.

    Une internationale blanche (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: De 1872 à 1876, l’Espagne est déchirée par une guerre civile opposant les libéraux au pouvoir aux carlistes, partisans du prétendant don Carlos de Bourbon, défenseurs du trône et de l’autel. Loin de se cantonner à la péninsule Ibérique, le conflit dépasse les frontières et le carlisme bénéficie d’un vaste mouvement de solidarité européen de la part des catholiques et des royalistes. Des ports de l’Atlantique et de la mer du Nord aux sentiers de contrebande des Pyrénées, des salons de l’aristocratie européenne aux réseaux d’anciens combattants pour la papauté, c’est un mouvement protéiforme et informel qui s’organise à différentes échelles et au sein de différents espaces sociaux. Le présent ouvrage l’étudie en croisant les apports de la micro-histoire, de l’histoire par le bas, de l’histoire transnationale et de l’histoire politique. Le terrain d’enquête est principalement la France, que le voisinage avec l’Espagne érige en tête de pont de cette internationale blanche : le territoire français devient lieu de refuge, d’organisation et de solidarité transnationale pour les carlistes, malgré l’opposition du gouvernement. Agissant dans l’illégalité, l’internationale blanche apporte une aide décisive à l’insurrection dans la guerre civile. C’est surtout vrai à la frontière entre France et Espagne, en Catalogne et au Pays basque, où les royalistes reçoivent le soutien de populations frontalières dont les cadres de vie traditionnels sont menacés par l’émergence de l’État moderne et du capitalisme. Ce livre présente et analyse ainsi un « envers de l’histoire contemporaine », le combat transnational de défenseurs d’un futur alternatif à la modernité libérale.

    Queer Rebels (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Queer Rebels is a study of gay narrative writings published in Spain at the turn of the 20th century. The book scrutinises the ways in which the literary production of contemporary Spanish gay authors – José Luis de Juan, Luis G. Martín, Juan Gil-Albert, Juan Goytisolo, Eduardo Mendicutti, Luis Antonio de Villena and Álvaro Pombo – engages with homophobic and homophile discourses, as well as with the vernacular and international literary legacy. The first part revolves around the metaphor of a rebellious scribe who queers literary tradition by clandestinely weaving changes into copies of the books he makes. This subversive writing act, named ‘Mazuf’s gesture’ after the protagonist of José Luis de Juan’s This Breathing World (1999), is examined in four highly intertextual works by other writers. The second part of the book explores Luis Antonio de Villena and Álvaro Pombo, who in their different ways seek to coin their own definitions of homosexual experience in opposition both to the homophobic discourses of the past and to the homonormative regimes of the commercialised and trivialised gay culture of today. In their novels, ‘Mazuf’s gesture’ involves playing a sophisticated queer game with readers and their expectations.

    Les sentiers de l’ouvrier (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Au XIXe siècle, des milliers de Britanniques émigrent vers le continent. Parmi eux, des artisans viennent travailler quelque temps, forts de savoir-faire acquis outre-Manche, au cœur de l’industrialisation. Alors que les circulations se multiplient, mécaniciens, ouvrières du lin et du jute, dentelliers, cheminots, terrassiers ou travailleurs du fer utilisent leurs compétences en Europe. Au moins trois d’entre eux, venus à Paris par ces sentiers de l’ouvrier, ont laissé des mémoires : John Colin, apprêteur de cuir écossais et « ivrogne réformé » ; Charles Manby Smith, typographe érudit, qui compose à Paris des livres en anglais et William Duthie, orfèvre itinérant. Ils sont employés dans cette « fabrique collective » parisienne, capitale de l’échoppe et de l’atelier, destination de centaines de milliers de migrants provinciaux et étrangers. Ces trois témoins décrivent leur travail, leur logement et leurs sociabilités. Ils sont parfois les témoins de la grande histoire, à l’instar de Smith, observateur apeuré de la révolution de Juillet 1830. Ils repartent et finissent par raconter leur vie, selon un usage alors répandu dans les classes populaires britanniques. Leurs témoignages sur le Paris ouvrier sont rassemblés ici, pour la première fois en français.

    Description: Premier volume d’un travail collectif sur la construction du militaire initié dans le cadre du séminaire « Guerre et société à l’époque moderne » dirigé par Hervé Drévillon, Bernard Gainot et Benjamin Deruelle, Savoirs et savoir-faire militaires à l’époque moderne s’attache à la problématique de l’éducation militaire, de la préparation des corps et des esprits, de la transmission des savoirs et savoir-faire ainsi que de la formation d’une identité spécifique du militaire de la fin du XVe siècle au début du XIXe siècle. Le parcours chronologique du présent ouvrage propose ainsi de découvrir les transformations qui affectent ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler la condition militaire et le processus de construction d’une société militaire à part et à côté de la société civile. Dans cette période qui s’étend des guerres d’Italie aux prémices de la guerre industrielle contemporaine, sous le Second Empire, et caractérisée, entre autres, par la « Révolution militaire des Temps modernes », naît alors sous nos yeux l’armée moderne pourvue d’une identité et d’une symbolique propres, de valeurs et d’expériences partagées ainsi que d’une éducation de plus en plus spécifique et spécialisée. Les auteurs nous accompagnent ainsi tout au long d’un processus au sein duquel le militaire se construit comme un homme de métier, distinct tant du guerrier que du mercenaire.

    Description: Outside the north gate of Venta Belgarum, Roman Winchester, a great cemetary stretched for 500 yards along the road to Cirencester. Excavations at Lankhills from 1967 to 1972 uncovered 451 graves, many elaborately furnished, at the northern limits of this cemetery, and dating from the fourth century A.D. This book, the second in a two-part study of Venta Belgarum, which forms the third volume of Winchester Studies, describes the excavations of these burials and analyses in detail both the graves and their contents. There are detailed studies and important re-assessments of many categories of object, but it is the information about late Roman burial, religion, and society which is of special interest.

    Hidden Cities (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This groundbreaking collection explores the convergence of the spatial and digital turns through a suite of smartphone apps (Hidden Cities) that present research-led itineraries in early modern cities as public history. The Hidden Cities apps have expanded from an initial case example of Renaissance Florence to a further five historic European cities. This collection considers how the medium structures new methodologies for site-based historical research, while also providing a platform for public history experiences that go beyond typical heritage priorities. It also presents guidelines for user experience design that reconciles the interests of researchers and end users. A central section of the volume presents the underpinning original scholarship that shapes the locative app trails, illustrating how historical research can be translated into public-facing work. The final section examines how history, delivered in the format of geolocated apps, offers new opportunities for collaboration and innovation: from the creation of museums without walls, connecting objects in collections to their original settings, to informing decision-making in city tourism management. Hidden Cities is a valuable resource for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars across a variety of disciplines including urban history, public history, museum studies, art and architecture, and digital humanities.

    Chapter 1 A bank, not a fund (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Deciphering the European Investment Bank: History, Politics and Economics examines the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Union’s financial institution and the largest lender and borrower among the International Financial Institutions. Since its establishment in 1958, the EIB has developed without becoming front-page news and has remained highly invisible. By putting together 14 chapters that analyze topical and meaningful moments and aspects of the bank, this edited book offers the first comprehensive analysis of its origins and its evolution in terms of its mandate, governance, structures, policy activity, and performance. Written by acknowledged experts from various disciplines, the chapters weave together history, economics, law, and political science to provide a multidisciplinary examination and capture the complexity of the EIB. The book is a timely initiative for understanding the EIB, whose role has been ever increasing for contributing to the recent global economic challenges, including the economic and financial crisis, climate change, and COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters are written at a level which will be comprehensible to undergraduates in economics, history, and international political economy. It will also be a valuable source of reference for academics, policy makers, bankers, and other practitioners interested in regional development banks and their role in the global economy.

Chemin faisant, ce que j’ai tissé avec la navette des mots sur le métier rétrospectif est certainement bariolé. Mais, au regard de la trame et des motifs du tissu, en voyant combien il m’importait de nouer des nœuds clairs sur le fil du temps pour échapper au chaos, je n’ai qu’une seule conclusion : on ne naît pas historien, on le devient. »

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Stratton, Biggleswade: 1,300 years of village life in eastern Bedfordshire from the 5th century AD presents the results of 12 hectares of archaeological excavation undertaken between 1990 and 2001. As well as uncovering roughly half of the medieval village, the investigations revealed that Stratton’s origins stretched back to the early Anglo-Saxon period, with the settlement remaining in continuous use through to c. 1700. In contrast to many of the other major excavations of Anglo-Saxon settlements, the evidence from Stratton provides insights into the lives of a low-status rural community, whose development can be traced over the course of more than a millennium. This book presents a chronological account of Stratton’s development; evidence for its economy, trading relations, industrial activities and agricultural landscape; and a discussion of how people lived and died there before the village was finally extinguished by the creation of the classic estate landscape of Stratton Park.

    Histoire et relations internationales (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale s’exprime un besoin renouvelé d’expertise sur les relations internationales. En France, un très jeune historien, Pierre Renouvin, ancien combattant, engagé dans le débat avec ses homologues allemands sur les responsabilités de la guerre, se voit confier par les pouvoirs publics des fonctions institutionnelles qui lui permettent de bâtir les fondements d’un domaine universitaire, l’histoire des relations internationales, dont les racines européennes puisent dans l’ancienne histoire des traités et dans l’histoire diplomatique. Son effort est poursuivi par Jean-Baptiste Duroselle, qui débute sa carrière universitaire à l’université de la Sarre, en 1950, dans un contexte politique particulier, avant de lui succéder à la Sorbonne en 1964. Bénéficiant de l’accès à des archives inédites des deux historiens, les contributions rassemblées dans ce livre proposent, au travers de plans de coupe de leur vie professionnelle, des vues nouvelles sur la structuration du domaine, tant en France que dans des pays limitrophes (Belgique, Suisse, Italie, Espagne, Royaume-Uni), dans un dialogue fécond avec les chercheurs établis aux États-Unis. Les années 1950 ont été une décennie cruciale dans l’affermissement de l’identité de la discipline historique face à la discipline sœur de la science politique, favorisant le mûrissement de ses concepts clés. Dans une perspective comparée, le livre permet aussi de réfléchir à son essor discontinu dans d’autres pays d’Europe et au Proche-Orient.

    Les manifestations de rue en France (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La manifestation de rue est une pratique minoritaire, antinomique au système parlementaire, longtemps dépourvue de tout statut juridique et qui ne doit qu’au vocable populaire de « manif » de s’être tardivement dotée d’une dénomination non polysémique. Et pourtant, plus de 15 000 manifestations recensées en France métropolitaine cinquante années durant, une assise sociale, politique et géographique potentiellement sans limite, des périodes de basses eaux mais jamais de disparition prolongée, pas même durant la guerre ou sous l’Occupation et une incontournable donnée de l’histoire politique et sociale contemporaine. C’est de ce paradoxe que cette histoire des manifestations de rue tente de rendre compte. Il s’agit de s’interroger sur la permanence du phénomène, son poids, son extension politique, sociale et géographique et leur pourquoi ; sur ce qui range la manifestation au nombre des causes pour la défense desquelles se mènent, parfois, des batailles. Que signifie le fait de privilégier parfois pareille forme d’action quand le droit de grève et le suffrage universel peuvent (et doivent), en droit, suffire à tout ? Comment, pourquoi et avec quel résultat cette pratique qui est constitutivement la négation du système parlementaire finit-elle par s’imposer ? Comment le régime politique réussit-il à l’acclimater ? Avec quelles conséquences ?

    La construction du militaire, Volume 3 (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Troisième volet du programme de recherche intitulé « la construction du militaire », cet ouvrage revient sur les pratiques discursives et langagières qui accompagnent la formation d’une société militaire en Europe. Prismes par lesquels les individus pensent et disent le monde qui les entoure, les formes du langage et leurs usages sociaux portent en effet les systèmes de représentation sur lesquels se construisent les identités individuelles et collectives. Lieu de la mise en scène de soi, pratique de distinction et facteur d’intégration, les usages de la langue contribuent activement à l’affirmation des sociétés et des identités militaires. En ce sens, elles sont un puissant vecteur de la cohésion au sein des armées en général, et des différents corps qui la composent en particulier. Elles sont encore un important médiateur du jeu social et des relations avec le reste du corps politique, mais également un enjeu de pouvoir. Les contributions de ce volume proposent ainsi une réflexion sur la façon dont les mots et les discours ont pris part à la construction d’une identité militaire durant une longue époque moderne courant de la fin du XVe siècle au XIXe siècle. Elles reviennent sur les enjeux politiques, institutionnels et sociaux de la désignation du militaire. Des côtes atlantiques à la grande plaine hongroise, des dernières guerres médiévales aux guerres de la révolution et de l’Empire, elles invitent à réfléchir sur ce long processus qui, de la formation d’une armée permanente à l’aube de la guerre industrielle, a transformé le guerrier en combattant de troupes régulières, et sur la manière dont l’État, la société et les militaires eux-mêmes ont façonné une condition militaire, soigneusement séparée de la condition civile.

    La république absolue (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Les années 1870-1889 sont celles de la conquête de la République par les républicains et de la victoire de la République parlementaire contre les différents révisionnismes constitutionnels. Maintes fois racontées dans le style hagiographique de la République triomphante, ou au contraire vilipendées par les nostalgiques de la Monarchie, ces années n’avaient pas encore fait l’objet d’une étude scientifique. L’analyse des élections de 1881, 1885 et 1889, le recours systématique aux documents originaux, voire aux archives inédites, permettent de donner une vision plus réaliste de ce que fut l’aventure républicaine dans un pays encore largement dominé par les partis monarchistes et l’Église du Syllabus. Pour lutter contre les partisans de l’absolutisme la République parlementaire n’hésita pas à prendre quelques distances vis-à-vis du libéralisme qui était sa gloire et son justificatif : d’où le titre de République absolue pour cette République qui, en gagnant de nombreux combats, creusait en même temps les conditions futures de sa chute.

    Vincenzo Cuoco (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: « En voulant écrire sur la révolution de Naples, je me suis laissé entraîner à tracer l’histoire des révolutions de tous les peuples de la terre, et spécialement celle de la France. » Tels sont les propos de Vincenzo Cuoco (1770-1823), historien, juriste et disciple du grand philosophe napolitain, Giambattista Vico, et auteur de l’Essai sur la révolution de Naples (1801), qui devint un classique du Risorgimento, influença Giuseppe Mazzini et fut commenté par tous les ténors de la science politique italienne. Vincenzo Cuoco prêche discrètement l’unité italienne sur une base identitaire et nationale aux plus belles heures de l’empire napoléonien, après léna (1806). En France, seul l’ancien rapporteur du Comité de salut public, Bertrand Barère, s’y intéressa en traduisant l’Essai sous le titre d’Histoire de la révolution de Naples (1807), après les trois tomes d’une fable philosophique écrite en contrepoint, Le Voyage de Platon en Italie. L’Essai, récit vif et enlevé qui pose les événements napolitains de 1799 sous le régime d’une catastrophe annoncée, en appelle à une « science des sciences » des élites. Il postule que l’on peut éduquer afin de faire pièce aux « fictions et aux imaginations des charlatans », des mots d’époque qui ordonnent le récit. Nonobstant, le plus grand mérite du texte est d’être théorie et narration, théorie parce que narration. Le Centre de recherches en histoire du xixe siècle avec le soutien de l’Instituto italiano di Cultura de Paris a réuni en 2001 des historiens, des littéraires et des philosophes italiens et français spécialistes du xviiie siècle et du xixe siècle afin de reprendre une réflexion sur la généalogie et les prolongements des oeuvres de Vincenzo Cuoco jusqu’à La San Felice de Dumas qui s’enchantait de cette histoire. Ces regards, différemment croisés et parfaitement transversaux, enrichissent un comparatisme indispensable à la compréhension des libéralismes et des questions nationales au début du xixe siècle.

    Jean d’Arcy (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Jean d’Arcy (1913-1983) est aujourd’hui connu comme celui qui fut directeur des programmes de télévision dans les années cinquante. Tout était alors à inventer. Cet ouvrage porte un regard sur l’homme de programmes, pionnier d’un modèle de télévision de service public en France. Il resitue les années charnières (1952-1959) dans la vie intellectuelle et professionnelle de Jean d’Arcy. Il trace le portrait de l’homme dans son siècle. Plusieurs contributions se penchent sur les années de formation, soulignent les engagements, éclairent les principes et les formes de son action. Le projet culturel et politique, les registres télévisuels qui l’incarnent et l’approche du public qui en résulte constituent l’un des volets de ce livre, qui montre également comment ce projet s’ancre dans une conception et une vision de l’Europe. Avec ses réussites remarquables, ses contraintes et ses limites. Lors de l’exercice de sa mission à l’Onu comme directeur de la Division radio et des moyens visuels de 1961 à 1971, la réflexon de Jean d’Arcy s’élargit. Cet ouvrage collectif montre comment se construit et circule son analyse de la communication à l’échelle du monde. Sa correspondance et ses discours témoignent de cet intérêt sans relâche pour l’information pensée comme lien entre les peuples dans un contexte d’accélération de la transmission des images. Ainsi, pense-t-il, dès la fin des années soixante, le Droit de ’homme à la communication et la préfiguration d Internet.

    Le temps des banquets (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: On s’est beaucoup moqué des banquets politiques, de « cette éloquence d’automne semée autour de tables bourgeoises et arrosée de vins du cru » (Lamennais). Comment prendre au sérieux en effet ces agapes, à nos yeux si prosaïques en pleine exaltation romantique, mais aussi ridiculement effusives dans une époque qui vouait un culte à la rationalité politique ? Et pourtant, aujourd’hui encore, chacun sait que la cause immédiate de la révolution de Février 1848 fut l’interdiction par Guizot d’un banquet réformiste, celui du XIIe arrondissement de la capitale. Bon nombre de contemporains en restèrent perplexes : comme nous, ils n’arrivaient pas à comprendre comment une décision apparemment anodine avait pu avoir de telles conséquences. Aussi fallait-il reconstituer une histoire qui n’a jamais été écrite, celle d’une forme disparue du répertoire politique. Le banquet n’est si étrange à nos yeux que parce que nous avons indûment valorisé Gavroche et Tocqueville, la barri­cade et le parlement. Décrire les banquets, pour d’abord mieux comprendre la sociabilité du premier xixe siècle, et reconstituer la culture politique de toute une génération, qui savait jouer des symboles et de l’implicite, et qui, après la Révolution et le despotisme napoléonien, cherchait sa voie dans une période décisive pour l’apprentissage de la liberté et de la démocratie. Puis faire toute sa place à un imaginaire dont nous avons oublié la richesse et les multiples enjeux. C’est, en définitive, s’interroger sur la nature même du lien politique, au-delà des discours et des institutions.

    Hadrian’s Wall (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Through the voices of over 20 Hadrian's Wall enthusiasts – chosen amongst prominent frontier scholars and archaeologists, re-enactors, curators, walkers and site managers – this volume celebrates the 1900th anniversary of Hadrian’s visit to Britain and the building of the Wall. Together, the authors explore issues such as the impact of environmental changes on archaeology and the innovative technologies used in monitoring and managing the Wall and its collections. The book highlights not only the ways in which Hadrian’s Wall can be protected for future generations, but also the ways in which it affects the identities of those who work and travel along it. Rather than a retrospective of work undertaken so far, or an attempt to impose theoretical frameworks onto a living landscape, it offers a realistic discussion of current issues and solutions in the exploration, management and protection of Hadrian’s Wall, from the point of view of those living, visiting, researching and working along it.

    La construction du militaire, Volume 2 (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: L’idée de l’existence d’un modèle occidental de la guerre qui serait né dans l’Antiquité a fait l’objet d’une importante diffusion au cours des dernières années. Prenant le contre-pied de cette position, cet ouvrage – deuxième parution autour d’un projet de recherche consacré à la construction du militaire – propose une étude nuancée et polychrome du soldat européen des Temps modernes. Des lices et champs de bataille de la fin du Moyen Âge aux tribunes de l’entre-deux-guerres, des affrontements de la Révolution aux tranchées de la Première Guerre mondiale, les auteurs dévoilent des cultures d’armes distinctes, des identités professionnelles plurielles et des sentiments d’appartenance contrastés, loin d’un modèle occidental intemporel. Cette diversité mise au jour invite à réfléchir au rôle du combat dans la construction des identités, des valeurs et des mémoires individuelles ; en retour, elle pose la question de leur influence sur les pratiques martiales, l’élaboration des règles guerrières et les interactions entre civils et militaires. Les exemples concrets développés dans cet ouvrage permettent de saisir l’émergence et les transformations tant des cultures que des identités combattantes européennes, dont l’évolution est caractérisée par des tensions, des ruptures, mais aussi des lignes de force. Au gré de contextes politiques, sociaux et religieux changeants – de l’État à l’État-nation –, au contact de peuples et de cultures divers, se développe ainsi le soldat de l’Europe moderne.

    Allied Air Attacks and Civilian Harm in Italy, 1940–1945 (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Tens of thousands of Italian civilians perished in the Allied bombing raids of World War II. More of them died after the Armistice of September 1943 than before, when the air attacks were intended to induce Italy’s surrender.　 Allied Air Attacks and Civilian Harm in Italy, 1940–1945 addresses this seeming paradox, by examining the views of Allied political and military leaders, Allied air crews, and Italians on the ground. It tells the stories of a little-known diplomat (Myron Charles Taylor), military strategist (Solly Zuckerman), resistance fighter (Aldo Quaranta), and peace activist (Vera Brittain) – architects and opponents of the bombing strategies. It describes the fate of ordinary civilians, drawing on a wealth of local and digital archival sources, memoir accounts, novels, and films, including Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and John Huston’s The Battle of San Pietro. The book will be of interest to readers concerned about the ethical, legal, and human dimensions of bombing and its effects on civilians, to students of military strategy and Italian history, and to World War II buffs. They will benefit from a people-focused history that draws on a range of eclectic and rarely used sources in English and Italian.

    Propriété collective et identité communale (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Les propriétés des communes ont été l’objet de querelles interminables. Au xviie siècle, temps de la montée de l’individualisme agraire, elles acquièrent la réputation d’inutilité et d’improductivité. Depuis lors, le communal a toujours été stigmatisé, érigé en symbole de l’archaïsme des petits paysans cramponnés à leurs usages collectifs. Loin de cette schématisation, Nadine Vivier met en évidence la diversité des attitudes régionales. Refusant de réduire les biens communaux à une simple question économique, elle analyse l’attachement des villageois aux coutumes locales, et elle retrace la succession des enjeux dont ils sont l’objet. Enjeu social lorsque, sous Louis XV, ils sont déclarés patrimoine du pauvre, afin de fixer les miséreux dans les campagnes. Puis la Révolution en fait aussi un enjeu politique. À travers tout le xixe siècle, la propriété collective se maintient, patrimoine nécessaire à l’autonomie de communautés face au pouvoir central, à leur maîtrise de l’espace et à la conscience de leur identité.

    Description: This book traces the influence of the changing political environment on Czech art, criticism, history, and theory between 1895 and 1939, looking beyond the avant-garde to the peripheries of modern art. The period is marked by radical political changes, the formation of national and regional identities, and the rise of modernism in Central Europe – specifically, the collapse of Austria-Hungary and the creation of the new democratic state of Czechoslovakia. Marta Filipová studies the way in which narratives of modern art were formed in a constant negotiation and dialogue between an effort to be international and a desire to remain authentically local.

    Description: Deciphering the European Investment Bank: History, Politics and Economics examines the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Union’s financial institution and the largest lender and borrower among the International Financial Institutions. Since its establishment in 1958, the EIB has developed without becoming front-page news and has remained highly invisible. By putting together 14 chapters that analyze topical and meaningful moments and aspects of the bank, this edited book offers the first comprehensive analysis of its origins and its evolution in terms of its mandate, governance, structures, policy activity, and performance. Written by acknowledged experts from various disciplines, the chapters weave together history, economics, law, and political science to provide a multidisciplinary examination and capture the complexity of the EIB. The book is a timely initiative for understanding the EIB, whose role has been ever increasing for contributing to the recent global economic challenges, including the economic and financial crisis, climate change, and COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters are written at a level which will be comprehensible to undergraduates in economics, history, and international political economy. It will also be a valuable source of reference for academics, policy makers, bankers, and other practitioners interested in regional development banks and their role in the global economy.

    Les hommes de Gorbatchev (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Décembre 1991. L’Empire rouge qui a si longtemps fait trembler l’Occident s’effondre. Les raisons de sa fin aussi brutale qu’imprévue sont longtemps demeurées mystérieuses. Quels facteurs ont poussé Mikhaïl Gorbatchev à lancer son pays sur les chemins risqués et néanmoins pleins d’espoir des réformes ? Cinq ans plus tôt, en février 1986, celui qui occupe depuis une année déjà le poste de secrétaire général du PCUS annonce une nouvelle manière de penser les relations internationales en URSS. Celle-ci se déploie sur plusieurs axes : dans un monde interdépendant, la coopération prime désormais sur la confrontation, dans la mesure où les États doivent s’entendre pour répondre à des défis globaux. Face à la menace d’une guerre nucléaire, la course aux armements entre l’Est et l’Ouest doit cesser et il faut que les capacités militaires des États-Unis et de l’URSS soient ramenées à un niveau raisonnable. Rejetant ainsi l’usage de la force pour conduire les relations internationales, l’URSS se veut à l’avant-garde de la lutte pour la paix, concept qui remplace progressivement celui de lutte des classes en politique extérieure. De 1986 à la fin de l’année 1991, cette approche originale, appelée la « Nouvelle Pensée », remet en question la ligne traditionnelle de la politique extérieure soviétique. Sur un plan théorique, elle met fin au dogmatisme idéologique et signale l’adaptation des principes fondateurs du marxisme-léninisme au monde qui l’entoure. Sur un plan pratique, les actions politiques qui sont associées à la Nouvelle Pensée dans la seconde moitié des années 1980 mènent à la fin de la guerre froide. Ce tournant ne peut être compris sans étudier, sur le long terme, les influences ayant rendu possible la révolution gorbatchévienne. Car ce sont des hommes et leurs réseaux, situés à la charnière des mondes politique et scientifique, qui proposent depuis le milieu des années 1950, dans le secret des corridors du Kremlin, de nouvelles approches en matière de relations internationales.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Les idées sur le plan ont été l’objet de nombreux débats avant 1941, mais c’est pendant la période de Vichy que la Délégation Générale de l’Équipement National entreprend à deux reprises de rédiger un document visant à planifier l’ensemble de l’activité économique. Ces tentatives échouent, ainsi que celle de Pierre Mendès France à la Libération. Quelles sont les relations entre ces ébauches et le premier plan de modernisation et d’équipement élaboré en 1946 ? Comment Jean Monnet. Commissaire en mission aux États-Unis en vient-il à formuler ses propositions et à mettre sur pied l’institution nouvelle qu’est le Commissariat général du plan ? Le Plan Monnet se trouve placé au carrefour des relations économiques et financières franco-américaines avant le Plan Marshall et il exprime un projet national dans le cadre de la « bataille de la production ». Comment coexistent, dans les objectifs du plan et dans l’interprétation qu’en font les « forces vives » de la nation, ces deux aspects constitutifs du Plan Monnet ? C’est dans les fameuses commissions de modernisation où siègent des fonctionnaires, des syndicalistes, des agriculteurs et des patrons que se manifeste l’esprit de modernité ; contribution décisive à la croissance française des trente glorieuses. Comment s’est opérée cette rencontre selon les activités concernées ?

Un territoire de signes s’attache à l’analyse des signes, des écritures, des décors et symboles républicains qui s’inscrivent sur le territoire de la France. Il montre à quel point ces signes, même les plus ordinaires, représentent des enjeux politiques à travers l’histoire. Il découvre leur fonction décorative sur les architectures monumentales comme sur les objets quotidiens. Il croise les approches, organise le dialogue des historiens du politique et du culturel avec ceux des formes ; il permet de faire le point sur les récents développements de l’historiographie depuis les travaux fondateurs de Maurice Agulhon et de Michel Vovelle.

    Les enseignants dans la société française du xxe siècle (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Pour comprendre le poids de l’éducation en France dans son rapport avec la société, il faut mettre au centre des évolutions les enseignants qui forment un groupe hétérogène, perméable aux idéologies. Par leurs associations, ils participent aux luttes et aux mouvements d’opinions qui traversent la société française. Avec leur élargissement progressif, conséquence de « l’explosion scolaire », après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, ils font des choix politiques, transmettent les valeurs fonda­mentales du régime dominant tout en conservant leurs distances par rapport aux pouvoirs. Au-delà des aspects de l’activité syndicale, sans laquelle le monde enseignant ne peut se comprendre, ce livre ouvre le champ de la réflexion par des approches politiques ou économiques. Les attitudes pédagogiques, les préoccupations corporatives expliquent aussi l’acquisition de particularités collectives fortes dans des milieux divers. Les analyses historiques, sociologiques ou inspirées par la politologie donnent une image plurielle de ce groupe social qui ne se résume pas aux caractères contrastés des « maîtres d’école » ou des « profs ». La diversité s’accompagne d’une grande communauté de comportements, résultats de la rencontre avec des demandes collec­tives, des orientations politiques ou des bouleversements affectant toute la sphère sociale.

    Le socialisme devant ses choix (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Les idées de planification, d’économie mixte nous sont devenues familières. Si elles sont aujourd’hui contestées, peu de gens souhaitent revenir au capitalisme pur et dur qui régnait avant guerre. Les critiques portent davantage sur la technique du plan que l’on voudrait assouplir devant le caractère aléatoire de bien des éléments de la vie économique et sociale. Mais l’évidence contemporaine ne doit pas faire oublier l’histoire, l’origine et le long cheminement de l’idée du plan. Un premier mérite du livre de Jean-François Biard est d’ouvrir le dossier des origines dans leur relation privilégiée avec les mouvements de la gauche française et de reconstituer les débats auxquels le plan a donné lieu dans l’entre-deux guerres. En renonçant à la révolution, en s’engageant délibérément dans une voie réformiste, les planistes se heurtèrent à la résistance de Léon Blum et de la majorité de la SFIO. Car le mythe révolutionnaire semblait encore pouvoir seul assurer l’unité du socialisme... En suivant l’histoire de la planification nous sommes ainsi conduits à des méditations toujours actuelles sur la stratégie de la gauche. Il n’y a pas de plan possible dans les batailles de classes. Peut-il y en avoir comme objet d’un rassemblement national ? Une telle interrogation pourrait bien être l’un des principaux enseignements de cette histoire. Mais Jean-François Biard pousse encore plus loin l’analyse et montre à quel point, chez ceux qui combattirent le plan, la distinction du « modèle » révolutionnaire - la société socialiste future - et du programme de portée immédiate ne répond pas seulement à un souci stratégique mais traduit aussi une structure de pensée, celle par laquelle l’« autre monde », la cité idéale, doit être maintenu dans sa pureté et non dégradé par la recherche de solutions intermédiaires. Le lecteur passe ainsi de la page d’histoire à une réflexion générale sur l’effet de besoin d’absolu chez l’homme. Là comme ailleurs, est toujours posé le problème des rapports de la réforme et de la révolution. Evoquer ces perspectives, c’est montrer l’intérêt de ce livre, à la fois pour la connaissance de notre histoire et pour la réflexion sur des problèmes dont le temps n’a pas aboli l’actualité. L’histoire du mouvement ouvrier n’est pas seulement celle de ses combats, elle est aussi celle de ses problèmes, de ses avancées et de ses échecs dans la tâche, sans cesse renouvelée, qui est toujours, pour reprendre l’expression de Jaurès, « d’aller à l’idéal et de comprendre le réel ».

    Les lumières de la guerre, Volume 1 (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Conservée au Service historique de la Défense, la sous-série dite des Mémoires et reconnaissances constitue une source incontournable pour l’histoire militaire de l’époque moderne. Réunissant plusieurs milliers de documents pour le seul XVIIIe siècle, elle offre un éclairage essentiel sur des questions aussi diverses que la logistique, la discipline, la santé, les fortifications, l’artillerie, la marine ou encore l’analyse et la préparation des opérations. La richesse des points de vue qu’elle rassemble, allant des simples élucubrations de faiseurs de projets aux écrits des principaux officiers de l’armée, en passant par les mémoires produits à la demande du Dépôt de la guerre, en fait en outre le véritable miroir tant de l’opinion que des savoirs militaires à l’époque des Lumières. À ce titre, la sous-série a attiré depuis longtemps l’attention des historiens qui lui ont emprunté nombre de citations. Pour autant, les modalités de sa constitution, le profil et les ambitions de ses auteurs, le rôle joué par les documents qu’elle regroupe dans la construction d’un savoir et d’une politique d’État, et surtout la diversité des thématiques et des enjeux qu’elle recoupe n’ont encore jamais fait l’objet d’une analyse systématique. Autant d’aspects que le présent ouvrage propose d’évoquer à travers l’édition critique en trois volumes d’une partie des mémoires qu’elle contient. Consacré aux mémoires techniques, ce premier volume aborde la formation et l’administration du militaire, la science de la guerre, ainsi que la marine et les colonies. Véritable témoignage sur le rôle du mémoire comme instrument de réforme et comme cadre d’élaboration d’une opinion publique militaire naissante, il offre par ailleurs un vaste panorama sur les questions au cœur du débat engendré par la réorganisation de l’armée française à l’époque des Lumières.

    Deciphering the European Investment Bank (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Deciphering the European Investment Bank: History, Politics and Economics examines the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Union’s financial institution and the largest lender and borrower among the International Financial Institutions. Since its establishment in 1958, the EIB has developed without becoming front-page news and has remained highly invisible. By putting together 14 chapters that analyze topical and meaningful moments and aspects of the bank, this edited book offers the first comprehensive analysis of its origins and its evolution in terms of its mandate, governance, structures, policy activity, and performance. Written by acknowledged experts from various disciplines, the chapters weave together history, economics, law, and political science to provide a multidisciplinary examination and capture the complexity of the EIB. The book is a timely initiative for understanding the EIB, whose role has been ever increasing for contributing to the recent global economic challenges, including the economic and financial crisis, climate change, and COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters are written at a level which will be comprehensible to undergraduates in economics, history, and international political economy. It will also be a valuable source of reference for academics, policy makers, bankers, and other practitioners interested in regional development banks and their role in the global economy.

    Paul Ramadier (1888-1961) (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Paul Ramadier est le type même du parlementaire français de la IIIe et IVe République. Il bâtit sa carrière depuis le bassin houiller d’Aubin-Decazeville (Aveyron), où le socialisme s’est implanté, alors que le département lui-même est dans son ensemble conservateur. D’abord simple militant dès 1910, il s’appuie sur le triptyque parti-syndicat-coopérative, et est élu maire de Decazeville en 1919; il devient en 1928 député de l’arrondissement de Villefranche-de- Rouerge après avoir élargi scs soutiens aux radicaux, et enfin conseiller général. Il s’est ainsi constitué un fief qui le réélit fidèlement jusqu’en 1940; il est plusieurs fois ministre de 1936 à 1938. Démis de ses fonctions par le gouvernement de Vichy, auquel il s’est opposé le 10 juillet 1940, il maintient pendant la guerre des contacts avec ses amis politiques. A la libération, personnalité non compromise, il devient Ministre du Ravitaillement puis Président du Conseil (1947), Ministre de la Défense Nationale (1948-1949) et Ministre de l’Économie et des Finances (1956-1957). C’est un des pères fondateurs et une personnalité de premier plan de la IVe République. Mais rassembleur de la gauche avant 1940. il s’aliène définitivement l’électorat communiste, qui a grossi depuis la guerre, à cause de ses choix gouvernementaux. Sa carrière politique s’achève en 1958 avec le régime lui-même, et quelques mois plus tard les Decazevillois le rejettent comme maire. Paul Ramadier représente bien les hommes politiques dont l’action s’est déroulée tant sur le plan local que national. Il permet donc de mieux procéder à la radiographie d’une carrière politique, et d’en faire apparaître, comme exemple, les fils conducteurs et les structures. C’est aussi un social-démocrate convaincu, qui défend la République et les avancées sociales mesurées, mais qui se trouve aussi aux prises avec les contradictions de l’exercice du pouvoir. Une carrière toute d’actualité! Dans un style alerte qui procure un grand plaisir de lecture Aline Fonvieille- Vojtovic, elle-même d’origine rouergate, réalise un ouvrage qui entremêle judicieusement histoire locale et nationale et met en évidence les ressorts de la vie politique française dans la première moitié du XXe siècle.

    L’urgence, l’horreur, la démocratie (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Ce livre tente d’identifier, par les mots et les images du temps (lithogra­phie ou grands genres), un « moment politique frénétique » français (1824- 1834). À l’instar du « drame frénétique » lorsque, boulevard du Crime (notre boulevard du Temple), chacun allait pleurer, et plus encore se livrer aux délices de l’angoisse vécue en commun, de sept heures à dix heures du soir. Maïté Bouyssy interroge aussi bien l’usage des larmes et de la compassion, que la mise en scène de l’horreur. Autour de figures charnières — tel Louis XII, le roi malchanceux qui a accompagné la mode troubadour, avant et après la Révolution — et de l’expression de « flots de sang » qui circule dans les lettres et les arts, des images furent reçues comme politiques. Des Réjouissances publiques de Boilly (1826 pour la gravure de Villain) à La Grèce sur les ruines de Missolonghi de Delacroix (1826), en passant par la célèbre litho­graphie Rue Transnonain le 15 avril de Daumier (1834), l’incessante circulation des mots à l’image montre un dispositif rhétorique qui mène au son. Car le cri donne le lieu social des émotions présentées et redéfinit les raisons du suc­cès de ces auteurs, qui gèrent la dénonciation telle des fables mises en image. Il ne s’agit ici ni d’éluder les périls de la surinterprétation ni de donner un métasystème de clés, mais de rendre compte des vraies raisons du succès de la réception de ces œuvres. Sous diverses formes, cet ouvrage traite donc du citoyen et du genre, des foules et de Bailleurs, du juste et de l’injuste ou de l’ordinaire ordre policier. Quand se trame un ordre prédémocratique s’accroît l’inquiétude de la « montée du cadavre » qu’ont notée d’autres histo­riens. Cette inquiétude semble avoir partie liée avec le processus d’accep­tation de l’égalité symbolique réalisée dans le suffrage universel de 1848.

    Militaires en République, 1870-1962 (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Du maréchal de MacMahon au général de Gaulle, militaires et hommes politiques entretiennent des relations dominées par une mutuelle incompréhension et une large suspicion. Les premiers accusent les poli­tiques de diviser les Français en professionnels de la chicane, quand les seconds suspectent nombre d’officiers de rêver au renversement de la République. Ce livre dépasse les stéréotypes habituels. En une cinquantaine de contributions, il étudie toutes les formes de participation des officiers au pouvoir et à la vie publique, de rétablissement de la Troisième République aux débuts de la Cinquième, de la fin de la guerre de 1870-1871 à la conclusion du conflit algérien. Le métier des armes est, par essence, de nature politique en ce qu’il participe de la conduite de la cité. Certes la professionnalisation de l’action politique sans parler de la peur qu’inspire aux républicains le césarisme a contribué à maintenir les officiers dans les limites de l’expertise. Mais les grands chefs, au même titre qu’une poignée de hauts fonctionnaires, participent au pouvoir par leur contribution à la définition de la politique de défense et de certains aspects de la politique extérieure. Par une approche pluridisciplinaire, associant historiens, juristes, poli­tiques et sociologues, universitaires et militaires, ce colloque rompt défi­nitivement avec l’image simpliste de deux mondes étanches l’un à l’autre et renouvelle l’étude des relations entre les officiers et la vie politique.

    Associations et champ politique (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La loi de 1901 est née des débats consécutifs à l’Affaire Dreyfus. Le vote de cette loi de liberté restait bloqué depuis les années 1880, de crainte de légaliser des congrégations hostiles à la République. Après l’Affaire, le Parti républicain tranche pour un système à deux vitesses, restrictif pour les congrégations et libéral pour les associations laïques. Pour ces dernières, la loi entérine le régime de tolérance en vigueur. Des historiens, des juristes et des politologues reviennent ici sur le « moment 1901 ». Ce moment voit aussi l’émergence des partis modernes. Mais les partis n’ont pas tous utilisé la possibilité que leur offrait la loi de « se déclarer », On se « déclare » plus souvent à droite qu’à gauche, et le mode des relations que l’on entretient avec les associations amies varie d’un bord à l’autre de l’échiquier politique. Inversement, des associations se placent dans le champ politique, revendiquent une légitimité propre et entrent en concurrence avec les partis. Les légitimités participative et représentative sont-elles antagoniques par essence ? Peut-on au contraire les penser comme complémentaires ? Le mouvement associatif constitue-til un relais lors des périodes de perte de représentativité du système partisan ? Cette enquête pluridisciplinaire porte un nouveau regard sur les acteurs et les ressorts de la démocratie.

    The Afterlife of the Shoah in Central and Eastern European Cultures (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Afterlife of the Shoah in Central and Eastern European Cultures is a collection of essays by literary scholars from Germany, the US, and Central Eastern Europe offering insight into the specific ways of representing the Shoah and its aftereffects as well as its entanglement with other catastrophic events in the region. Introducing the conceptual frame of postcatastrophe, the collected essays explore the discursive and artistic space the Shoah occupies in the countries between Moscow and Berlin. Postcatastrophe is informed by the knowledge of other concepts of "post" and shares their insight into forms of transmission and latency; in contrast to them, explores the after-effects of extreme events on a collective, aesthetic, and political rather than a personal level. The articles use the concept of postcatastrophe as a key to understanding the entangled and conflicted cultures of remembrance in postsocialist literatures and the arts dealing with events, phenomena, and developments that refuse to remain in the past and still continue to shape perceptions of today’s societies in Eastern Europe. As a contribution to memory studies as well as to literary criticism with a special focus on Shoah remembrance after socialism, this book is of great interest to students and scholars of European history, and those interested in historical memory more broadly.

    Un jansénisme provincial (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La ville d’Orléans fut dans le peloton de tête des villes épiscopales atteintes par le jansénisme, ce complexe mouvement religieux, culturel, social et politique aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Les évêques s’acharnèrent contre les curés et persécutèrent les communautés féminines de la ville dont les religieuses furent privées de sacrement « à la vie, à la mort ». C’est donc une spécificité du cas orléanais que cette forte implication des femmes dans le mouvement. Tout comme à Paris, le jansénisme du XVIIIe siècle n’est plus celui de la retraite aux champs du temps de Port-Royal ; il investit les lieux de pouvoir, la municipalité, le bailliage, les fabriques des paroisses, les écoles et l’Université, les institutions charitables, d’où des conflits entre autorités ecclésiastique et civile. Les élites administratives et intellectuelles de la ville comme le monde opulent des négociants et raffineurs de sucre s’investirent dans un mouvement qui, à l’origine, prônait la pauvreté. Là n’est pas l’un des moindres paradoxes. Au bout du compte demeure posée la question du poids du jansénisme dans une décléricalisation de la société pouvant, à terme, être facteur de déchristianisation.

    Nordic Design Cultures in Transformation, 1960–1980 (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Covering the 1960s and 1970s, this volume explores new ways of investigating, comparing and interpreting the different domains of design culture across the Nordic countries. Challenging the traditional narrative, this volume argues that the roots of the most prominent features of Nordic design’s contemporary significance are not to be found amongst the objects for the home collectively branded as ‘Scandinavian Design’ to great acclaim in the 1950s, but in the discourses, institutions and practices formed in the aftermath of that oft-told success story, during the turbulent period between 1960 and 1980. This is achieved by employing multidisciplinary approaches to connect the domains of industrial production, marketing, consumption, public institutions, design educations, trade journals as well as public debates and civic initiatives forming a design culture. This book makes a significant contribution to current, international agendas of historiographical critique focusing on transnational relations and the deconstruction of national design histories. This book will be of interest to scholars in design, design history and Scandinavian studies.

    Description: L’étude, qui prend force dans le thème essentiel de la propriété foncière et élan dans l’épaisseur historique du Roussillon, est conçue comme une réflexion à plusieurs niveaux, tramés par les temps de l’his­toire : saisir, dans la longue durée, les conditions de mise en place et de développement d’une société rurale viticole méditerranéenne ; rechercher, au rythme de la conjoncture, les facteurs d’instabilité et les réajustements successifs qui l’affectent ; projeter, enfin, l’histoire inscrite sur le sol dans celle qui se grave dans les mentalités, là où se tissent les multiples fils entre l’intelligible et le vécu. Une telle méthode conduit à analyser historiquement la société des propriétaires-viticulteurs roussillonnais, pour comprendre son devenir et l’insérer dans la grande histoire des sociétés rurales.

    La déportation sous le Premier Empire (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Cet ouvrage étudie une population espagnole déportée, de plus de 50 000 personnes — prisonniers de guerre, marins, otages, suspects — dans ses comportements nationaux et catégoriels. Les opinions politiques s’y dévoilent, saisies à travers les évasions, la prestation ou le refus du serment de soumission au roi Joseph Bonaparte, les incorporations dans l’armée impériale, la correspondance interceptée que les déportés échangeaient entre eux. Le système de déportation fonctionne dans les faits, à l’échelon local, de manière plus chaotique qu’on ne l’aurait imaginé : depuis l’incarcération impitoyable des résistants illustres et des « exaltés » dans des forteresses jusqu’à la constitution de dizaines de « bataillons de travailleurs » chargés, ici et là, de creuser des canaux, d’assécher des marécages et de construire des routes. Émanant de diverses classes de la population et régions de France, les documents d’archives témoignent enfin de la façon dont les sujets de l’Empereur, loin d’imiter leur souverain crispé dans ses préjugés et sa rancœur anti-ibériques, réagissent plutôt favorablement devant cette masse, d’étrangers qui, cessant d’être à leurs yeux des ennemis détestables, sont souvent considérés comme des alliés malheureux, en vertu d’affinités politiques et religieuses dont la ferveur irrite les partisans de Napoléon.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Associant la connaissance subjective de son département d’origine à la connaissance objective de l’enseignant-chercheur universitaire, l’auteur nous fait découvrir avec bonheur le cheminement de la députation ligérienne durant la période que dessine formellement la IIIe République. Il s’attache particulièrement à caractériser, souvent à l’aide d’esquisses biographiques, les représentations qui sont celles de la noblesse « restitutionniste ». Entendons par là : un groupe dominant dans la sphère politique de la ruralité catholique nantaise, qui ne vise pas seulement à restaurer l’institution monarchique, mais plus généralement et de plus en plus intensément, à faire partager ses propres valeurs. Le présent ouvrage, scientifique et néanmoins fort lisible, devrait contri­buer à la clarification, à la « compréhension » du destin de l’ordre social nobiliaire auquel s’est aujourd’hui substitué celui de la classe notabiliaire. C’est une manière originale d’avancer dans le questionnement de ce qui n’est souvent qu’une pré-notion : la modernisation. L’auteur continue d’explorer cette problématique selon laquelle la noblesse, trop vite réduite à son caractère réactionnaire, peut encore actuellement, sur de nombreux points, contrebalancer la perte d’un pouvoir socio-politique très repérable par une influence socio-culturelle moins aisément observable.

    Les présents de l’historien (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Ce texte retrace une série de présents successifs traversés au cours d’un cheminement qui va de l’engagement politique à l’étude des usages politiques du passé ou encore à celle de l’écriture de l’histoire et de son enseignement, mais ce cheminement n’a rien d’une trajectoire nécessaire. Bien sûr en raison de la façon dont le récit de ces présents est construit, comme de son premier destinataire – un jury universitaire –, il ne peut que procéder d’une mise en cohérence a posteriori. J’ai toutefois tenté de laisser à la contingence, au hasard, aux rencontres, leur juste place. Mes lieux d’histoire ont été le plus souvent des lieux institutionnellement faibles comme les IUFM, ou des lieux choisis en marge de l’institution comme la revue Espaces Temps ou bien encore le « DDG » – l’attelage que nous formons depuis près de quinze ans avec Christian Delacroix et François Dosse –, mais j’avoue avoir toujours trouvé en m’investissant dans ces périphéries une liberté qui me convient. Au fil des pages j’ai donc tâché, de bon gré, persuadé que l’exercice m’était profitable, d’ouvrir ma boîte à outils, de montrer les articulations d’un parcours et les ressorts d’un faire de l’histoire.

    Les Européens et la guerre (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La guerre, fait de civilisation central de l’histoire de l’Europe, y a produit un héritage historique à la fois différencié et commun. À partir d’exemples pris dans le long XXe siècle ainsi que dans les plus récents développements européens, cet ouvrage revient sur le jeu des traditions militaires communes et des cultures nationales issues des expériences propres à chaque société. L’Europe s’est édifiée jusqu’à présent pour l’essentiel sur la base de processus institutionnels, oubliant largement la dimension culturelle, et c’est sans doute dans le domaine de la Défense que cette négligence a fait le plus sentir ses effets sur les réalisations concrètes. Cet ouvrage voudrait réparer une telle lacune en portant à la lumière le rapport complexe que les Européens, confrontés à de lourds héritages historiques de conflits et d’alliances interétatiques, entretiennent avec la guerre. Il s’agit d’abord de redécouvrir l’influence dans l’esprit des dirigeants et dans les populations, de constructions de l’Autre (Européen ou non-Européen) comme ennemi ou comme allié. C’est le préalable nécessaire à un renouvellement de la pensée stratégique en Europe qui identifie les conditions de convergence des cultures militaires, et redonne toute sa place au facteur humain dans les questions de stratégie. Les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage proposent des analyses nouvelles et originales sur la guerre en Europe, dans une diversité de perspectives aussi bien nationales que transnationales. En combinant des approches stratégiques, historiques, sociologiques et politiques, elles envisagent donc la « sécurité européenne » avant tout dans sa dimension culturelle, pour parvenir à une réflexion critique sur les réalisations et les perspectives de coopération dans le domaine de la « défense européenne ».

    Le Conseil d’État et Vichy (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: À l’antisémitisme du régime de Vichy, qui ne cesse de se rappeler à la mémoire de notre temps, les historiens ont consacré de très nombreuses recherches. Au Conseil d’État, qui vient de célébrer son deuxième centenaire au sein de l’organisation administrative française, les juristes ont réservé une littérature non moins prospère. Pourtant, sur les relations troubles entretenues par le Conseil d’État avec la politique antijuive de Vichy, la bibliographie disponible, malgré quelques récents apports, s’avère beaucoup plus restreinte. Le fond de ces quelques contributions, en outre, est parfois contradictoire, souvent discutable, toujours environné de crispations individuelles ou collectives. C’est partant de ce constat que le présent ouvrage s’est engagé dans la doublé voie d’une synthèse et d’un approfondissement des travaux existants. Ainsi trouvera-t-on d’abord en ces pages la matière des plus fiables recherches qui intéressent le sujet, mais aussi une analyse exhaustive, à ce jour la seule, des arrêts rendus par le Conseil d’État dans le contentieux né de l’application du droit antisémite édicté par les autorités de Vichy. L’étude, alliant selon une démarche originale l’approche historique au raisonnement juridique, s’efforce de réexaminer posément les conclusions qui ont été formulées sur cette jurisprudence. À cet effet, elle opère d’amples comparaisons, tant avec le reste de l’activité des membres du Conseil durant la période 1940-1944 qu’avec l’attitude des juridictions judiciaires et de l’ensemble des juristes alors confrontés aux lois raciales. Loin des révisionnismes feutrés, dont la généalogie se trouve également retracée ici, qui depuis la Libération et aujourd’hui encore tentent d’oblitérer les aspects les plus sombres de ce « contentieux de l’antisémitisme », l’auteur retient un bilan nuancé, soucieux de comprendre les errements passés comme d’ouvrir la réflexion à ce qu’est un juge aussi bien qu’à ce qu’est le droit. Issu d’un mémoire soutenu en 1998 dans le cadre du DEA de droit public interne de l’Université de Paris I (Panthéon-Sorbonne), cet ouvrage, qui a reçu le soutien du Conseil scientifique de l’Université, constitue le premier volume de la collection de l’École doctorale de droit public et de droit fiscal, « De Republica ».

    Description: Quoi de commun entre l’enfant qui chaparde les cerises, l’assassin qui égorge les rentiers, le domestique indélicat, le pickpocket, le rat d’hôtel, la kleptomane, le cambrioleur ? Rien, sinon cette étiquette de voleurs qui recouvre une large variété de types sociaux et d’imaginaires. À des degrés bien différents, tous font l’objet d’une réprobation morale. Car le vol dérange l’ordre social : comme l’écrit Michelle Perrot, le xixe siècle est animé d’une véritable « obsession propriétaire » qui ne se relâche guère avant les années 1960. Le fait est connu, mais il reste trop souvent vu de loin. Comment prendre en compte les évolutions chronologiques dans une société qui s’enrichit et accède plus massivement à la propriété ? Comment envisager les spécificités géographiques (le voleur des villes n’est pas le voleur des champs, ni le maraudeur de banlieue) ? Comment distinguer, enfin, des groupes sociaux, des genres, des âges ? C’est tout le pari de cet ouvrage qui propose d’examiner, dans leur diversité, les imaginaires et les représentations du vol aux xixe siècle et xxe siècles, du Code pénal aux blousons noirs. De Jean Valjean aux Valseuses, en passant par Lupin et Bonnot, mais aussi par une foule de petits délinquants obscurs, il s’agit d’éclairer un envers de l’histoire de la France contemporaine.
