    Abstract: For decades, Arthur D. Nock’s famous definition of conversion and his distinction between conversion and adhesion have greatly influenced our understanding of individual religious transformation in the ancient world. The articles in this volume – originally presented as papers at the conference Conversion and Initiation in Antiquity (Ebeltoft, Denmark, December 2012) – aim to nuance this understanding. They do so by exploring different facets of these two phenomena in a wide range of religions in their own context and from new theoretical and empirical perspectives. The result is a compilation of many new insights into ancient initiation and conversion as well as their definitions and characteristics.

    Abstract: The post-Communist transition in Eastern Central Europe has brought about democratic reform, liberalized economies and accession to the European Union, but also the emergence of political movements that revert to antisemitic rhetoric and arguments. This volume compares the genealogies and impact of antisemitism in contemporary Poland and Hungary. Leading and emerging scholars contrast developments in both countries from the last quarter of the nineteenth century to the present, analysing the roles played by organised religion, political leaders, media and press, but also by Communist Parties. They present historical analysis as well as the results of qualitative and quantitative research on contemporary public memory, the image of the Jew, antisemitic media, political constituencies and the interplay of prejudices, specifically anti-Roma racism. A topical bibliography of research on antisemitism in post-Communist Eastern Central Europe offers pathways to further research.

    Abstract: On the global scale, the challenges surrounding development are massive and complex, as inequalities in living conditions between the richest and poorest countries become greater. Development is a global challenge on a par with the financial crisis and environmental concerns. The participation of local communities and towns in development programmes may result from a desire for influence at an international level, rather than the idea that they can bring some measure of stability, like the large NGOs. In this context, culture remains an omnipresent factor. Indeed, culture takes on a multifaceted front for it is not solely limited to the organisation of cultural activities or the protection of heritage, but also about the values, significance, and everyday actions of human communities. It contributes to the well-being of local populations. Using culture as a transversal tool to solve the development issues means tackling those issues from a different angle: bringing solutions to some multicultural questions that exist in rich countries. This book brings together a selection of articles by researchers and experts in this area from a wide variety of backgrounds, disciplines and countries.

    Abstract: Democratising the museum is a collection of articles reflecting upon the problem of how participation, technologically mediated or not, can support the museum in the process of becoming more accessible. The open museum shares power with its visitors while negotiating professionalism and the role of the museum in a modern society. The book looks at the roles and struggles of audiences/visitors and professionals and the role of digital technologies in supporting the participatory museum. While different chapters draw on a variety of empirical examples, the main analytical backbone of the book comes from an extended participatory action research study conducted at the Estonian National Museum. This book aims at both academics and professionals working in the museum field.

    Abstract: A distance de plus d’un demi-siècle de la célèbre Conférence des Linguistes et des Anthropologues (1952), qui souda officiellement les liens entre Jakobson et Lévi-Strauss en inaugurant un nouveau tournant épistémologique, cet ouvrage se propose de vérifier, d’une part, si le débat entre linguistes, anthropologues, mais aussi spécialistes de la communication, se poursuit, et, d’autre part, d’identifier les différentes modalités selon lesquelles la dimension linguistique et la dimension culturelle se rejoignent, s’opposent ou se croisent encore aujourd’hui. Dans le paysage « globalisé » de notre temps, quels nouveaux éclairages peuvent nous offrir ces deux champs? Les contributions à ce collectif configurent une perspective réflexive qui met au jour la pluralité des points de vue et des postures d’observation, des modèles d’analyse et des expériences d’écriture engendrant des pratiques tout aussi diversifiées d’interprétation, de traduction et de négociation du sens entre des médiateurs de langage. Ces « lectures du monde » nous engagent à maintenir le dialogue entre linguistes et anthropologues en termes de nécessité interdisciplinaire et à le concevoir comme un instrumentheuristique de recherche indispensable à l’appréhension de processus sociaux, langagiers et culturels complexes que les chercheurs se donnent pour tâche commune de comprendre et de faire comprendre.

    Abstract: This volume is devoted to selected aspects of the culture and language of the two largest Jewish Diaspora groups, Sephardim and Ashkenazim. The authors analyze the latest European research tendencies related to both Jewish factions. Questions concern the historical, social and cultural contact with non-Jewish environment, the problems of Jewish identity, the condition of languages in both groups (Yiddish, Judeo-Spanish, Hakitía), and Jewish anthroponymy. The reflections concern various areas of contemporary Germany, Poland, Russia, the Balkan countries, Italy, the countries of North Africa inhabited by both Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews. For the analyses, not only documents, manuscripts, press articles, and literary texts serve as a basis but also the artifacts of material culture.

    Abstract: The Great War continues to play a prominent role in contemporary consciousness. With commemorative activities involving seventy-two countries, its centenary is a titanic undertaking: not only ‘the centenary to end all centenaries’ but the first truly global period of remembrance. In this innovative volume, the authors examine First World War commemoration in an international, multidisciplinary and comparative context. The contributions draw on history, politics, geography, cultural studies and sociology to interrogate the continuities and tensions that have shaped national commemoration and the social and political forces that condition this unique international event. New studies of Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific address the relationship between increasingly fractured grand narratives of history and the renewed role of the state in mediating between individual and collective memories. Released to coincide with the beginning of the 2014–2018 centenary period, this collection illuminates the fluid and often contested relationships amongst nation, history and memory in Great War commemoration.

    Abstract: Central-Eastern Europe, in the mid-20th century, was a scene of Holocaust, mass killings, war, deportations and forced resettlements under the competing totalitarian invasions and afterwards. It was also the area where churches, politicians and citizens were engaged in reconciliation between antagonized religions and nations. This book presents several attempts to heal relations between Poles, Jews, Germans, Czechs, Ukrainians, Russians and Latvians as well as between Catholics, Protestants and Mariavites. Re-conciliatory practices of John Paul II and other Catholic leaders as well as Protestant churches are analysed in the first part of the book. Most of the remaining studies are focused on particular localities in Upper Silesia, Cieszyn Silesia, former Polish Livland and on the Polish-Ukrainian borderland. These detailed contributions combine sociological methods with anthropological insight and historical context. The authors are sociologists, psychologists and theologians and this leads to a fully interdisciplinary approach in the assessment of the recent state of inter-group relations in the region as well as in the proposed theory of peacebuilding and reconciliation.

    Abstract: The essays collected in this book provide profound insights into the wide-ranging topic of the fashionable queen: the manifold implications and effects that the combination of body, power and gender can have are examined by using different approaches and a variety of theoretical frameworks. By addressing queenly appearances in the past and the present, in politics and the media, in royalty and the middle-classes, in the arts and in popular culture, this book offers a new way of thinking of publically significant women, who exert, and at the same time subvert, their power through their attires and thereby negotiate notions of gender, class, power and media representation.

    Abstract: How do young people with migration backgrounds take part in and shape urban leisure socialities in European cities? Presenting results of a long-term ethnographic research project carried out in ethnic club scenes in Paris, London and Berlin, this book challenges assumptions about migrant community dynamics and ethnic segregation. Examining both heteronormative and «queer» scenes, the contributors to this volume give insights into how clubbing socialities are related to the wider life contexts of different postmigrant groups and the challenges they face in metropolitan centres. Far from simply celebrating ethnic community, British Asian, German Turkish and French Caribbean club scenes respond to intersecting dynamics of racism, gentrification, sexism, homophobia and class stratification.

    Keywords: Geschichte ; Rezeption ; Künste ; Visuelle Medien ; Stadtentwicklung ; Sozialgeschichte ; Visualisierung ; Dublin ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: Dublin has held an important place throughout Ireland’s cultural history. The shifting configurations of the city’s streetscapes have been marked by the ideological frameworks of imperialism, its architecture embedded within the cultural politics of the nation, and its monuments and sculptures mobilized to envision the economic ambitions of the state. This book examines the relationship of Dublin to Ireland’s social history through the city’s visual culture. Through specific case studies of Dublin’s streetscapes, architecture and sculpture and its depiction in literature, photography and cinema, the contributors discuss the significance of visual experiences and representations of the city to our understanding of Irish cultural life, both past and present. Drawing together scholars from across the arts, humanities and social sciences, the collection addresses two emerging themes in Irish studies: the intersection of the city with cultural politics, and the role of the visual in projecting Irish cultural identity. The essays not only ask new questions of existing cultural histories but also identify previously unexplored visual representations of the city. The book’s interdisciplinary approach seeks to broaden established understandings of visual culture within Irish studies to incorporate not only visual artefacts, but also textual descriptions and ocular experiences that contribute to how we come to look at, see and experience both Dublin and Ireland.

    Abstract: Urban public space continues to be the focus of debate regarding its conceptualization and how it is designed, (re)produced and managed. Nowadays public spaces are facing new challenges conceptually and practically. This book focuses on two of them: mobility and aestheticization. Mobility and flows are considered to be key characteristics of the post-modern era. While for some scholars it means the «end of place», others are trying to re-conceptualize it by bringing together notions of space, place, mobility and identity. Still surprisingly few authors address the concept of public space in this respect. Principles of aesthetic and diverse forms of aestheticization seem to have affected urban space and culture throughout Modernity, forming a dimension where power and conflict around urban space are performed. In this book nine authors with social science and arts backgrounds from six countries discuss how these processes shape the life of modern cities, and where the social sciences should move for a better understanding of them.

    Abstract: This collection of essays considers the contribution made by German settlers in Queensland over the last century and a half of the state’s history. The volume also analyses the role of other German travellers and visitors who have had an impact on the state. Over this period, Germans have been the most important non-British European settler population in Queensland. The work includes chapters on Germans in politics, science, music and the other arts, as well as German migrants, missionaries, and attitudes to the Australian tropics.

    Abstract: This interdisciplinary volume aims to deepen and enrich the reader’s understanding of children’s lives in the Global South. At a time when provision for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is expanding across the globe, this book highlights issues around early childhood development as well as exploring the importance of including local traditions, culture and knowledge in developing professional practices in the sector. A range of international contributors, including key scholars in the field of early childhood, draw on topics identified for discussion at the Early Childhood in Developing World Contexts International Conference, held at University College Cork, Ireland, in 2011. Much of the exciting research being undertaken in this area remains unrecognized, and the volume aims to communicate some of the important debates currently taking place. The essays are organized into three broad themes: children’s lives and livelihoods; early years policy and practice; and language and culture.

    Abstract: The Everyday of Memory explores manifestations of the communist past in the everyday lives of Eastern Europeans today. Representing a wide range of disciplines including cultural studies, film studies, urban studies, sociology, media, literature and art, the contributors to this book question the myth of a homogeneous Eastern European identity (as opposed to its historical Western counterpart). At the same time, they insist that those who experienced communism have a ‘right to remember’, and that their memories offer an alternative to the project of globalizing capitalism. The volume presents a critique of the current withdrawal of Eastern European politics from discussion of the communist past, in which the latter tends to be regarded as an obstacle to the neoliberal transition to democracy. As the book’s microstudies of the everyday life of memory show, communism has never been isolated from its capitalist nemesis: the two systems have been intertwined in the post-Enlightenment interplay of the humanist ideals that underpin the modernist project. Through a close observation of the unconstrained ways in which memory works, this book offers an insight into the paradoxes of the two ideological powers which posited the subservient homo sovieticus against the civilized homo economicus. The book also invites debate about the contemporary relevance of the ideological polarization of communism and capitalism.

    Abstract: Kinder treiben uns um. Sie gehören zum menschlichen Leben wie der Tod und die Liebe, ja sind geradezu deren Konsequenz. Betrachtet man ihren Platz in der Gesellschaft, so offenbaren sie sich als Spiegel unserer selbst. Die Analysen vergangener, gegenwärtiger und ideeller Kindheitsbilder in diesem Band stammen aus dem Leipziger studium universale zum Thema Kindheiten sowie der Leipziger Universitätsvesper unter dem Motto Wenn ihr nicht werdet wie die Kinder ... aus dem Jahr 2012. Durch diese Konstellation treffen sakrale und säkulare Perspektiven aufeinander und reflektieren ein für viele Kindheitsbilder zentrales Spannungsfeld. Insgesamt 22 Artikel und Thesen aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen repräsentieren einen großen Ausschnitt aus der gegenwärtigen Kindheitsforschung. Literarische, didaktische, religiöse Fragen stehen im Vordergrund, aber auch Medizin, Ethnologie und Geschichte kommen zu Wort. Durch die dargestellte Themen- und Methodenvielfalt soll der Band das Thema Kindheit als wertvollen Forschungsgegenstand weiter bestärken.

    Abstract: This book presents fourteen original contributions by authors examining the importance of dwellings and local communities in people’s everyday lives. Through qualitative research conducted in North America and Europe, the volume explores the ways in which home is created both ideally and practically, at levels ranging from individual housing units to neighborhoods and public spaces. Even when the circumstances of making one’s home deviate from cultural ideals – for instance, in crowded, institutional, or stigmatized housing contexts, in disadvantaged or transient neighborhoods, or when one has no permanent dwelling at all – the authors illuminate how experiences and practices of home are central to what it means to be human.

    Abstract: What are the cultural challenges of migration in Canada in the context of «glocalization»? In what areas can we recognise the advent of a specific cultural dimension which, in turn, calls for the development of a model character within the global sphere linked to the knowledge-based society? These are some of the questions addressed by the texts published in this volume with regards not only to social sciences but also to meta-history, history, literature and the use of language. Quels sont les défis culturels de la migration au Canada dans le contexte du « glocal » ? Peut-on observer dans certains domaines la genèse d’une culture issue du développement des phénomènes migratoires, et qui prendrait la place qui lui revient dans un monde global lié à la société des savoirs ? Les textes publiés ici fourniront des réponses à ces questions en se référant non seulement aux sciences sociales mais aussi à la métahistoire, à l’histoire, à la littérature et aux questions liées à l’utilisation de la langue.

    Abstract: America Where? Transatlantic Views of the United States in the Twenty-first Century gathers essays by distinguished American Studies scholars from both sides of the Atlantic. The articles address changing representations of ‘America’ in their many and mutual transnational exchanges, both in the Americas and in Europe. Atlanticism, neo-liberalism, transnationalism, borders, racism, prisons, labor, war and intercultural relations compose the range of approaches to be found in this book. While paying close attention to the geopolitical, social, and cultural fabric of the United States as a nation in its intercultural, cross-border time-spaces, this work brings to question the location of ‘America’ in our time. How does this ‘America’ – both the material, secular nation in the economic and political world, and the mythical, sacred, and spiritual entity, enormously charged with symbolic power – present itself today in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres? The book’s provisional answer is that the most productive «America» is to be found in the conversations that the cultures of the United States encourage and engage in, both nationally and internationally.

Tauchen vielleicht stereotype Bilder vor Ihrem inneren Auge auf: Afrika, der Kontinent der Krisen, Krankheiten und Katastrophen; der Fernwehfantasien, wilden Tiere und weiten Landschaften? Dieser Sammelband geht AfrikaBildern auf die Spur, fragt nach ihren Quellen und Wirkungen, sucht ihre Kontinuitäten und Brüche, entlarvt sie als gedankliche und soziale Konstrukte, die diskursiv Machtwirkungen ausüben. Die Beiträge beschäftigen sich multi- und interdisziplinär mit Kolonialismus und Antikolonialismus sowie AfrikaBildern in Medien, Tourismus, Kunst, Literatur, Bildung, Pädagogik, Ökonomie und Politik. Ziel ist die Dekonstruktion einseitiger AfrikaBilder und damit Wandel realer Herrschaftsverhältnissen, Denk- und Redeweisen.

Ces images, quelque peu réductrices, fournissent pourtant une première clé pour la compréhension de notre propre imaginaire comme de celui de l’autre.

    Abstract: Ce livre a remporté le prix Jean Widmer 2012 de l’Université de Fribourg, Suisse. Plus qu’une simple méthode, l’enquête ethnographique permet de poser de nouvelles questions sur le politique, en rupture avec ses représentations comme un domaine d’activités en soi, circonscrit à la politique institutionnelle ou aux politiques publiques. Recueillies aux quatre coins du monde (Brésil, États-Unis, Chine, Algérie, Espagne, Italie, Suisse, Belgique, France), les études de cas ici rassemblées examinent le politique par le bas, tel qu’il se fait, depuis son enracinement dans les affaires de tous les jours. En engageant différentes espèces de description ethnographique, elles invitent à repenser l’articulation entre lien civil et vie politique sous trois angles complémentaires. D’abord, celui des expériences ordinaires, généralement définies comme infra-politiques, depuis où nous nous projetons dans la vie publique. Celui, ensuite, des moments de politisation qui font surgir des questions sur le bien public, au cœur même du monde de la vie quotidienne. Celui, enfin, des modalités pratiques de l’engagement politique, au sens classique, dans des actions qui ont pour visée expresse la transformation du monde.

    Abstract: À l’heure de l’élection du premier président noir des États-Unis, le paradigme de la démocratie raciale connaît une remise en cause sans précédent au Brésil où il vit le jour dans les années 1930. Si la célébration du paradis racial a depuis longtemps fait place à la dénonciation de l’enfer vécu par les populations indiennes et afro-brésiliennes, l’adoption du principe d’action affirmative suscite de nouvelles polémiques à l’aube du XXIe siècle. Inspiré du multiculturalisme nord-américain, le système des quotas conduit-il à une remise en question de l’identité nationale fondée sur l’idéal du métissage ? Permet-il, au contraire, une meilleure insertion des Noirs et des Métis dans la société ? Réunissant les contributions d’historiens, de sociologues, d’anthropologues et de politistes, cet ouvrage invite à repenser la question raciale dans une perspective comparatiste et transnationale. De la démocratie raciale au multiculturalisme, il propose une réflexion polyphonique sur la manière dont sont conçues les relations interraciales au Brésil, dans les Amériques et en Europe depuis le XIXe siècle. Il analyse la circulation des modèles théoriques et des idées politiques au sein d’un espace atlantique entendu au sens large, incluant à la fois les rivages nord-américains, africains et européens de l’Atlantique noir et les régions afro-latines de l’Amérique du Sud.

    Abstract: Obwohl die Geschichte des Islam in Österreich viel weiter zurückreicht als die Geschichte der muslimischen Migration nach Österreich, rufen Muslime und ihre religiöse Präsenz nach wie vor kontroverse Diskussionen hervor. Dabei rücken vor allem Imame ins Zentrum der Debatte – als jene Kräfte, die, so die Behauptung, mit ihrer Ablehnung der westlichen Grundwerte der Isolation der Muslime Vorschub leisten und dergestalt eine Gefahr für den sozialen Frieden darstellen. Glaubt man diversen Berichten, bilden Imame und Moscheen jedenfalls den Nährboden für ein gefährliches Religionsverständnis. Wer sind nun diese Imame? Worin besteht eigentlich ihre Tätigkeit? Wird ihr Einfluss überschätzt oder sind sie tatsächlich eine Gefahr für die Gesellschaft und ein Hindernis für die Integration der Muslime?...

    Abstract: Intercultural crossings, which are at the core of our contemporary society, are underpinned and shaped by three essential elements: time, space and people. Such encounters and interactions have the capacity not only to promote diversity and a healthy exchange of ideas, but also to act as a catalyst for conflict. This volume examines the topics of conflict, memory and identity through a collection of insightful viewpoints and perspectives, reflecting a diversity of cultural and social backgrounds, which combine to give a contemporary interdisciplinary analysis of cultural interactions and their effects. The themes covered by the authors, such as memory and forgetfulness, migration, ecological concerns, mixed cultural landscapes, storytelling, postcolonial trauma and internal struggles for identity, offer the reader a fascinating glimpse into the ongoing and evolving social debate about identity and purpose.

    Abstract: This multidisciplinary edited volume examines wide-ranging exchanges between France and its Mediterranean neighbours and their impact. It questions the changing notion of a Mediterranean space and its representation, centrality and relevance in terms of France’s international relations under Sarkozy’s presidency, from the launch of the Union for the Mediterranean and its complex articulations with the European Union’s own agenda in the region, to the tortuous relations with Libya, made even more complicated by the 2011 ‘Arab Spring’. Beyond the realm of state relations and formal policy networks, the volume examines the crucial role played by diasporas, the interplay between postcolonial and transnational representations in the fields of cultural diplomacy, cinema and architecture, and considers how these can produce merged or hybrid identities. Later in the collection, the politics of ethnicity in post-war France, the interplay between negative perceptions of Islam and the changing memory of the Algerian War, and the evolution of Franco-Algerian relations since 1962 are used to question the weight of the colonial past when analysing the relations between France and North Africa.

    Abstract: The Kashubs, a regional autochthonous group inhabiting northern Poland, represent one of the most dynamic ethnic groups in Europe. As a community, they have undergone significant political, social, economic and cultural change over the last hundred years. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Kashubs were citizens of Germany. In the period between the two World Wars they were divided between three political entities: the Republic of Poland, the Free City of Danzig and Germany. During the Second World War, many Kashubs were murdered, and communist Poland subsequently tried to destroy the social ties that bound the community together. The year 1989 finally brought about a democratic breakthrough, at which point the Kashubs became actively engaged in the construction of their regional identity, with the Kashubian language performing a particularly important role. This volume is the first scholarly monograph on the history, culture and language of the Kashubs to be published in English since 1935. The book systematically explores the most important aspects of Kashubian identity – national, regional, linguistic, cultural and religious – from both historical and contemporary perspectives.
    Abstract: «Man kann nur wünschen, dass diese ausführliche und in ihren Bewertungen recht ausgewogene Darstellung der kaschubischen Sache aus der Feder der Betroffenen ein breites Echo findet. Sie hat es verdient, da sie gegenwärtig die ausführlichste wissenschaftliche Darstellung zu diesem Thema in einer westlichen Sprache ist.» (Klaus Steinke, Informationsmittel für Bibliotheken 20, 2012/2)...

    Abstract: In Other Words: Dialogizing Postcoloniality, Race, and Ethnicity is a collection of essays by scholars and Americanists who labor under the conviction that the dynamically evolving field of postcolonial studies facilitates the development of new ways of conceptualizing race and ethnic studies. On guard against reductive statements and aware of the danger of blurring historical differences, the book encourages the reader to enter the dialogue between postcolonial studies and discourses on race and ethnicity. It demonstrates rhetorical and conceptual affinities between the fields and examines counter-narratives of resistance to imperial narratives and the politics of dominance. Concurrently the anthology challenges the reader to engage in the broader and trans-global reading of cultures marked by the experience of political exploitation and erasure.

    Abstract: This collection looks beyond Ireland metaphorically as well as geographically, moving beyond nationalism towards the culturally diverse, beyond a bilingual Ireland to a polyvocal one, beyond the imagined community towards a virtual one, beyond a territorial Ireland to an excentric one. The focus is on outsiders, ranging from Colm Tóibín’s subversion of establishment norms to Paul Muldoon’s immersion in Jewish discourse to John Banville’s extensions of the parameters of Irishness to the Lass of Aughrim finding a new role through her exclusion from the domestic hearth. The contributors to the volume work mainly with poetry and prose fiction, but genres such as autobiography, the essay and song lyrics are also represented. The issues addressed all look ‘beyond Ireland’. In considering the creative frictions and fictions that result from the dissolving of old loyalties, these essays examine contested concepts such as ‘the nation’, and attempt to shed light on global forces that demand cultural re-definitions and transformations. The world order that let loose the Celtic Tiger has brought, together with a diversified Ireland, new forms of dependence. It is one of the main aims of this book to explore how Irish writers have regarded this diversification and contested that dependence.

    Abstract: In the space of a few short decades, Ireland has become one of the most globalised societies in the Western world. The full ramifications of this transformation for traditional Irish communities, religious practice, economic activity, as well as literature and the arts, are as yet unknown. What is known is that Ireland’s largely unthinking embrace of globalisation has at times had negative consequences. Unlike some other European countries, Ireland has eagerly and sometimes recklessly grasped the opportunities for material advancement afforded by the global project. This collection of essays, largely the fruit of two workshops organised under the auspices of the Humanities Institute of Ireland at University College Dublin and the National Centre for Franco-Irish Studies in the Institute of Technology, Tallaght, explores how globalisation has taken such a firm hold on Irish society and provides a cultural perspective on the phenomenon. The book is divided into two sections. The first examines various manifestations of globalisation in Irish society whereas the second focuses on literary representations of globalisation. The contributors, acknowledged experts in the areas of cultural theory, religion, sociology and literature, offer a panoply of viewpoints of Ireland’s interaction with globalisation.
    Abstract: «‘Cultural Perspectives on Globalisation and Ireland’ is a pioneering volume (...) that should become a contemporary reference work for any critic of modern Irish culture; this book deserves the widest possible readership.» (Eóin Flannery, Irish Studies Review)...

    Abstract: « Écrire le voyage, c’est transformer l’expérience en conscience » notait André Malraux. Plus que pour la chronique des déambulations qu’il contient, le récit de voyage est un outil particulièrement précieux pour bâtir une histoire des représentations et des relations culturelles internationales. Les voyageurs artistes, intellectuels et militants politiques présentent un intérêt spécifique car ils prolongent souvent leur expérience par un acte de création artistique, littéraire ou testimonial. Éducatif, érudit ou humaniste, leur voyage doit contribuer à produire un savoir sur le monde et sur soi ; il est d’abord la quête d’un « signalement de l’univers », pour reprendre la formule de Théophile Gautier qui fut lui-même un grand voyageur. Dans cet ouvrage, l’expérience du voyage importe donc surtout comme pratique et comme moment de confrontation avec une culture et une société étrangères. Il s’agit d’observer de quelle façon le déplacement dans un pays étranger, sa découverte ou redécouverte, orientent la perception de l’autre pays. Trois aires culturelles, outre la France, ont été privilégiées, chacune – Italie, Espagne, monde lusophone – ayant construit une identité forte autour du voyage et de la mobilité.

    Abstract: Si les institutions communautaires de l’Europe permettent aujourd’hui d’identifier un espace politique et économique, qu’en est-il du sentiment d’appartenance des Européens à une civilisation partagée ? En dépit de nombreux traits d’union, leurs identités et leurs cultures matérielles demeurent multiples. Ce premier livre de la collection « L’Europe alimentaire » s’inscrit dans une dynamique croissante de l’intérêt porté par des publics divers et nombreux aux pratiques de l’alimentation. Il réunit les positions de spécialistes des cultures alimentaires sur la notion, très complexe à définir, des identités alimentaires. Cet ouvrage croise l’analyse de l’anthropologie et de l’histoire pour présenter la formation des patrimoines gastronomiques, les processus d’échanges culinaires et l’émergence, à différentes époques et dans plusieurs pays de recettes, de produits ou de manières de manger. Il s’en dégage que les Européens ont su à la fois développer des traditions locales très marquées et faire confluer leurs goûts par la circulation des marchandises, des hommes et des idées. La stratégie contemporaine, et capitale pour l’Europe, de valorisation par la qualité de ses produits considérés comme typiques, trouve dans ce récit les sources originelles d’un patrimoine commun aux Européens.
    Abstract: «Soulignons par ailleurs la qualité de l’écriture, les citations non traduites (démonstration d’une prise de position « européenne » des éditeurs, plutôt que nationale), la richesse des références, sans oublier la qualité de l’index qui en fait un volume essentiel pour les étudiants et chercheurs dans le monde de l’alimentation.»(Anaïs Détolle, Anthropologie et Sociétés, vol. 37, numéro 2, 2013)...

    Abstract: Die Beschreibung der alpinen Natur und Bevölkerung ist im Allgemeinen verbunden mit dem Selbstverständnis und sozialen Umfeld des Autors. Daraus folgt, dass der Alpendiskurs von Land zu Land stärker differiert als bisher angenommen. Dieser Forschungsbericht befasst sich mit der Wahrnehmung der Alpen in der europäischen Kulturgeschichte. Er schliesst auch die bisher vernachlässigten alpinen Stimmen in die Untersuchung ein. Wie ging die Bevölkerung im Berggebiet mit den Diskursen um, die von den Städten an sie herangetragen wurden? Legte sie sich Identitäten zu, die das Alpine zurückstellten oder gerade betonten? La description de la nature et de la population alpines est en général liée aussi bien à l’image que les auteurs se font d’eux-mêmes qu’à leur milieu social. Cela explique que le discours alpin diffère davantage selon les pays que ce qui a été considéré jusqu’ici. Ce recueil de contributions se penche sur la perception des Alpes dans l’histoire de la culture européenne. Il intègre dans la recherche les voix alpines négligées jusqu’à présent. Comment a réagi la population de ces régions aux discours sur la montagne et les montagnards tenus par les gens de la plaine ? Se construisait-elle une identité soulignant ou dénigrant plutôt le côté alpin ?...
    Abstract: «‘Die Alpen! Les Alpes!’, edited by Jon Mathieu and Simona Boscani Leoni, is surely one of the most interesting books published recently about the European Alps, for both the abundance and the variety of the contributions it includes, and for the themes addressed.» (Guido Alfani, Mountain Research and Development)...
