    Abstract: On the one hand le côté de Guermantes and on the other that of chez Swann... Few places like Illiers-Combray offer the tangible measure of a myth that has involved not only readers and writers, but also those who have reflected on the meaning and structures of modern fiction. As the great criticism of the 20th century and the most innovative reflections on the method would not be conceivable without the Recherche. Auerbach, Curtius, Spitzer, Poulet, Jauss, Deleuze, Richard, Genette, Barthes..., as well as Solmi, Debenedetti, Contini, and Macchia in Italy, measured themselves with essays and/or memorable books, while Caproni, Fortini, Ginzsburg, Raboni... tried themselves with translation. In short, the seduction of a work with a very dense intertextuality and variety of registers still resides, not only in the ability to talk about the history and culture of the West, offering the grandiose fresco of a universe in decline, but in the possibility of inserting itself on many levels (including that of meta-literature, non-fiction) as an obligatory point of passage. Thus contributing to create a world parallel to the real one, which is now populated by its doubles: cities, cathedrals, feelings, emotions, words intermittences... From the field of fiction to that, induced, of narratology, no doubt that Proust has changed our life, the perception of the world, and the way of looking at objects, and of reading books and things. The collection that is proposed here, designed and curated by Anna Dolfi, gives a broad and evocative testimony, offering itself as an essential object of study on the traces of the unforgettable, unseizable Marcel

    Abstract: The overbearing affirmation of the body, with its instincts and impulses, and an effort aimed at suppressing that same push: this powerful dialectic deeply marks Beckett's works, and becomes a crucial reflection of the more general tension between a vain waiting for the end and the need to move forward. The close investigation of the texts suggests a special link with the thought of Arthur Schopenhauer, revealing in particular the contiguity between the concept of Noluntas and the search, by many of Beckett's characters, for "will-lessness", a peculiar state of quiet and abstraction from reality. Starting from these observations, this study investigates the theme of the body within Beckett's poetics, especially in light of his relationship with the Schopenhauer's Will theory

    Abstract: As scattered pieces of a composite artistic path to be reassembled, the personal notes, writing tests, private letters and reviews kept by Giuseppe Dessí over the years allow Nicola Turi, who had already been following the author's footsteps for some time, to reconstruct the sources of inspiration, the composition and revision processes, as well as the main stages of the critical reception of a work crossing the best part of the 20th century in Italy with an elegant gait which constantly brings it in on the same level as the great European models: a philosophical background which is always up to date, and the very fine sensitivity of someone who knows how to grasp the imperceptible movements of the human soul and the great changes of history at the same time. This volume is the result of a long archival work and, also by virtue of the bibliography (by and on the author) placed in the appendix, it aims at functioning as a journey through Dessí's texts and, at the same time, at offering the readers the necessary hermeneutical support to understand his works

    Abstract: This book focuses on the hitherto unexplored Hungarian influence on the Habsburg Monarchy’s policy toward Serbia after the 1867 Ausgleich, and it argues that this early period was critical in shaping policy after 1871, down to the imposition on Serbia in 1881 of a system of economic and political control

    Abstract: À rebours des thèses structuralistes, ce livre affirme que la littérature parle du monde. Il y a du hors-texte. Cette étude de quatre œuvres marquantes d'auteurs emblématiques du mouvement postmoderne apporte une contribution importante à la géocritique et aux théories de l'espace qui fleurissent aujourd'hui dans le domaine de la littérature générale et comparée. Le monde, balisé par les lignes imaginaires des géographes et des navigateurs, est sillonné par les migrants, les voyageurs et les armées en campagne. Les frontières quant à elles sont des lignes qui ancrent une identité dans le territoire, et ce sont bien souvent des obstacles infranchissables. L'approche géocritique met en évidence la crise de ces notions dans les descriptions de villes utopiques des Città invisibili d'Italo Calvino, dans la course folle de l'héroïne des Grandes Blondes, de Jean Echenoz, dans les espaces subjonctifs de la Zone que parcourent les personnages de Gravity's Rainbow, de Thomas Pynchon, et dans les déserts rocheux du grand roman d'après-guerre de Christoph Ransmayr, Morbus Kitahara. Une fois résolue la très ancienne question de la représentation mimétique qui se trouverait au fondement de toute œuvre d'art, on peut faire émerger l'idée que dans la fiction récente, les configurations spatiales participent à l'intrigue de façon déterminante. Au-delà de la nostalgie postmoderne pour un monde vaste, qui recèlerait encore une part d'inconnu et serait favorable à tous nos désirs, ces œuvres instaurent une nouvelle relation à l'espace. Conçu comme un ensemble rhizomatique de milieux et de flux connectés entre eux, le monde entretient avec la littérature des rapports dont les textes du corpus, dans leur variété, permettent de saisir la cohérence

    Abstract: This volume, a revised and extended version of two well-reviewed books published in German and Czech, explores the social and political background to this “opera mania” in nineteenth century Central Europe. After tracing the major trends in the opera history of the period, including the emergence of national genres of opera and its various social functions and cultural meanings, the author contrasts the histories of the major houses in Dresden (a court theater), Lemberg (a theater built and sponsored by aristocrats), and Prague (a civic institution). Beyond the operatic institutions and their key stage productions, composers such as Carl Maria von Weber, Richard Wagner, Bedřich Smetana, Stanisław Moniuszko, Antonín Dvořák, and Richard Strauss are put in their social and political contexts. The concluding chapter, bringing together the different leitmotifs of social and cultural history explored in the rest of the book, explains the specificities of opera life in Central Europe within a wider European and global framework

    Abstract: Modern popular culture came to the world from the stage. Even before film and radio had established themselves, popular theater had developed into a commercial and boundary-crossing entertainment industry that reached a mass audience. Tobias Becker compares the theater landscapes of London and Berlin and points out the cultural exchanges that took place between these metropolises during the "long turn of the century" (1880�)

    Abstract: 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

    Abstract: 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

    Series Statement: Une plus Grande Guerre
    Keywords: European history
    Abstract: La campagne du 47e régiment d'infanterie de Saint-Malo débute officiellement le 2 août 1914, « premier jour de la mobilisation ». Quelques jours plus tard, dans la nuit du 6 au 7 août 1914, l'unité quitte la Côte d'émeraude, à la rencontre des troupes allemandes. Celle-ci a lieu le 22 août 1914, lors de la bataille de Charleroi, baptême du feu du 47e régiment d'infanterie. Puis viennent Guise, la Marne, le fort de la Pompelle, la Course à la mer et l'enlisement dans les tranchées d'Artois, jusqu'en juillet 1915. Pendant ces onze mois, le régiment de Saint-Malo perd des centaines d'hommes, tués, blessés, capturés voire même tout simplement disparus. Pourtant, cette succession de combats ne dit rien de ce qu'est, pour le 47e régiment d'infanterie, l'entrée en guerre. Rarement étudié pour lui-même, encore moins à l'échelle d'une unité, ce moment particulier mérite néanmoins d'être mis en perspective en ce qu'il permet de comprendre comment, en l'espace de seulement quelques semaines, la société française bascule dans un drame qui ne s'achève qu'au bout de cinquante-deux mois. Au moment où le monde s'apprête à commémorer la Der des Ders, il est indispensable de se demander ce qu'est une « entrée en guerre ». Rappeler le nom des morts et décrire les batailles ne suffisent pas. Il faut donner du sens à ces drames. C'est précisément ce qu'envisage cet ouvrage en se proposant de mettre en perspective une entrée en guerre, celle du 47e régiment d'infanterie de Saint-Malo

    Abstract: Aujourd'hui, la presse écrite et télévisuelle, au même titre que le cinéma, ne cessent d'exposer dans l'espace public l'importance et la richesse des informations livrées par la justice, le fait judiciaire et l'écrit. Fondée sur une solide et ancienne tradition rhétorique, la manière de dire et de raconter un événement, filtré par la justice, rend singulière et originale la perception des faits décrits, met au jour la construction d'images (négatives et positives) et soulève l'ambiguïté du récit lui-même, entre ce qui repose sur la vérité et ce qui relève de la fiction. Ce volume, qui a privilégié une démarche pluridisciplinaire, à la fois synchronique et diachronique, est composé de dix-neuf articles dont l'objectif a été de saisir le lien existant entre la justice et le récit en France, en Italie et en Espagne du XIVe siècle au XIXe siècle. L'intérêt a été prêté aux usages de la justice et de l'écriture, en passant du récit judiciaire au récit fictionnel, de l'espace privé à l'espace public, le tribunal étant l'espace où la parole se trouve finalement libérée

    Abstract: Le patronat marseillais des années 1880-1930 a mauvaise réputation. On lui reproche d'être resté replié sur lui-même, individualiste, trop exclusivement marchand, et de ne pas avoir su évoluer vers un capitalisme de type managérial jugé plus efficace pour pouvoir répondre aux enjeux industriels de son époque. Cette culture de l'entre-soi, fondée sur un système relationnel puissant et des représentations hérités du milieu du XIXe siècle, aurait contribué à pérenniser des modes de formation et de gestion peu performants, à limiter les capacités d'investissement ou d'innovation des entreprises et à retarder la concentration des sociétés, la rationalisation des méthodes de production et la standardisation des produits. Elle aurait en outre favorisé le repli des entreprises sur des marchés protégés - essentiellement coloniaux - et provoqué une certaine cécité à l'égard des évolutions économiques et sociales en cours. En d'autres termes, le patronat marseillais des années 1880-1930 aurait raté la deuxième industrialisation. Cette légende noire, forgée au cours de la récession qui a suivi les Trente Glorieuses, nécessite aujourd'hui d'être revue. L'ouverture de nouveaux fonds d'archives privées, le renouvellement et la diversification des approches au sein de l'histoire économique et sociale régionale et l'émergence d'un nouveau régime d'historicité, permettent de proposer une tout autre représentation de la deuxième industrialisation marseillaise

    Abstract: 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

    Abstract: Les fêtes provençales constituent un aspect dynamique du patrimoine régional et sont depuis longtemps un sujet d'études pour historiens et ethnologues. L'introduction de l'ouvrage propose une rapide synthèse de cet héritage évolutif. Suivent treize études novatrices par leurs problématiques, leurs méthodes et leurs conclusions, qui privilégient la variété des approches et des spécialités. Les changements et permanences sont illustrés par les fêtes religieuses d'Ancien Régime, la dernière mise en scène de la Fête-Dieu d'Aix en 1851, l'étude sur la longue durée des « charrettes de la Saint-Éloi » dans l'ouest des Bouches-du-Rhône. Une caractéristique de la basse Provence est l'action qu'a pu y avoir le félibrige, à travers le discours sur les fêtes de F. Mistral dans Lou Tresor dóu Felibrige, les menus des banquets félibréens, les « virées » des Cigaliers à travers le Midi et plus largement les représentations des fêtes qu'ont promues les Félibres. Mutations et renouvellements récents sont manifestes dans les transformations du pèlerinage des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, les danses folkloriques actuelles, la place de la pétanque et des spectacles tauromachiques, les reconstitutions historiques, la construction du lien festif par l'espace sonore. Une postface de Jean-Marie Guillon analyse l'imaginaire provençal de la fête en termes de « nostalgie d'un monde perdu »

    Abstract: « La poésie n'invente pas un autre monde mais transforme le rapport qu'on a avec celui-ci », affirme Henri Meschonnic en soulignant à quel point le langage poétique - qu'il soit en vers ou en prose - permet d'exprimer notre condition entre un ici et un Ailleurs, entre moi et l'Autre. Un parcours critique et stylistique de la poésie romane méridionale propose dans cet ouvrage une vingtaine de contributions scientifiques pour définir comment le langage poétique, au fil du temps, a contribué à créer l'Ailleurs et ses images. Découverte et voyage, dialectique entre le proche et le lointain, étrangeté du langage, aventures linguistiques, poétiques totalisantes fondées sur l'Ailleurs, conscience de l'invisible ou du différent : telles sont les principales approches proposées par les études réunies qui couvrent les domaines de la littérature ibérique en castillan, en catalan et en portugais, de la littérature italienne en italien et en dialecte, de la littérature d'Amérique centrale et de deux aspects de la poésie française (la poésie de 'l'amour de loin' et la reprise de traditions romanes par Aragon). Les auteurs de l'ouvrage ont analysé les formes d'expression de l'Ailleurs en poésie pour trouver, des troubadours occitans jusqu'à notre époque, une volonté commune de découvrir ce que Jules Supervielle a nommé le « paysage humain »

    Abstract: 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

    Abstract: In un frammento pubblicato il 10 dicembre 1810 nei suoi «Berliner Abendblätter», Heinrich von Kleist sosteneva che "gli uomini si potrebbero dividere in due categorie: quelli che si intendono di metafore e quelli che si intendono di formule". A due secoli di distanza, questo volume prende a prestito la coppia kleistiana "formula e metafora" per indagare le sorti dello scienziato come personaggio nelle letterature e culture di una contemporaneità intesa nel senso più ampio possibile. Lo scienziato - benefattore o criminale, saggio o irresponsabile, opportunista o pazzo, freddo calcolatore o debole strumento del potere, personaggio comico o tragico, drammatico o grottesco - è uno dei protagonisti della cultura contemporanea. Che si tratti di personalità storiche o di figure d'invenzione, alimentate da prototipi letterari e da stereotipi di varia matrice, uomini di scienza popolano le più varie opere di finzione da fine Ottocento a oggi: il volume ne indaga ventisei esempi, spaziando fra letteratura, teatro e cinema nei mondi di lingua francese, inglese, italiana, polacca, russa, spagnola, svedese e tedesca. Le molteplici declinazioni del personaggio-scienziato sono lo specchio più o meno deformato di eventi e problemi che hanno alimentato l'inesausto interrogarsi dell'intellettuale moderno sul rapporto fra scienza, arte e società. Al contempo, esse rivelano nelle loro radici il perdurare di antiche e moderne figurazioni mitologico-letterarie, trasformate da scrittori e artisti per interpretare consapevolmente il passato e il presente

    Abstract: Luxemburg ist ein multikultureller und mehrsprachiger Kleinstaat. Dort wirksame Werbung zu entwickeln, ist ein komplexer Vorgang. Zum ersten Mal werden in diesem Buch Rahmenbedingungen und Gestaltungselemente des Luxemburger Werbediskurses umfassend diskutiert und analysiert. Ausgehend von Jürgen Links Interdiskurs- und Normalismustheorie gibt die Untersuchung wichtige Hinweise auf die grundsätzliche Beziehung zwischen Werbung, Multikulturalität und kollektiven Identitäten und bietet so eine innovative Form der Anwendung literaturwissenschaftlicher Theorien auf kommunikationswissenschaftliche Kontexte

    Abstract: This collection of studies is dedicated to Cesare G. De Michelis for his seventy years. It contains contributions by friends and students wishing to recall his teaching and research, together with the variety and breadth of his interests. This explains the heterogeneity of the contributions, which focus primarily on Russian literature but also extend to other Slavic literatures, and then to Russian religious and secular history, to cultural relations between Italy and Russia and to some pages of the modern anti-Semitism. The volume opens drawing a profile and the bibliography of professor De Michelis, including his vast scientific production and a dense list of publicity contributions in which the rigour of the scholar and his civil passion are reflected

    Abstract: Médiation entre l’individu et la société, la famille apparaît comme un facteur essentiel tant dans la construction des égos que dans l’élaboration de l’ordre collectif. En un XIXe siècle où se modifient les normes et les pratiques de l’institution, le roman explore les règles, les enjeux, les dessous de cartes de celle-ci, et, misant sur la dynamique de la mêmeté et de l’altérité qui assure le renouvellement domestique et généalogique, en fait jouer les possibles. Le Jeu des familles se penche d’abord, avec Balzac puis Paul Bourget, sur les nostalgies patriarcales, qui exaltent les valeurs de la filiation et de la transmission, vecteurs de la mêmeté. Il se tourne ensuite, avec Balzac, les Goncourt et Zola, vers les atouts et les handicaps du familialisme bourgeois moderne, qui privilégie les préférences individuelles et l’alliance, point d’insertion de l’« autre ». Il examine l’utopie d’une rédemption fraternitaire proposée par George Sand et Eugène Sue, qui rêvent de faire de la famille la matrice de la cohabitation des classes et de la réconciliation des sexes. Il suit enfin, chez Edmond de Goncourt, Barbey d’Aurevilly et Elémir Bourges, la décadence des lignages et des maisonnées fin de siècle, dans lesquelles se brouillent délibérément les cartes. Convoquant de nombreux textes, fictionnels et non fictionnels, cet essai montre comment le roman répercute, repense, reconfigure l’institution, et participe ainsi à sa redéfinition

    Abstract: Loosely based on Primo Levi's The Periodic Table, the play has a Fahrenheit 451 setting. In a world without books or memory appears a common man, the Man in the street, with some heets of writing that he cannot make out. With the help of the narrator, Science, Technology and Nature, and of two actors who remain offstage for a long while - Primo and his friend Alberto - this man is able to reconstruct the events of the chapter entitled Cerium. In this way, and thanks to this act of remembrance, lost identity - our history - is recreated. Science, Technology and Nature free this man without memory from his state of not-knowing, by giving him scientific knowledge and understanding. The play finds its catharsis in a deeply moving passage, inspired by the chapter Carbon, which creates an atemporal connection between a carbon atom from the smoke of a crematorium chimney and one residing in the body of any one of us: a poetic parable of a science firmly anchored in the life and history of man

    Abstract: Letture anticanoniche biofiction, dentro e fuori la metafinzione, aims at offering multiple interpretations to biofictions. For the critical analysis of these pieces, identified so far with a 'symptomatic' examination of various fictional texts on a given historical period or person, some possible non-canonical directions have been proposed: a 'horizontal' method, which brings biofiction into the 'fictional galaxy' of a writing subject (as in the case of Michèle Roberts), and then a 'vertical' method, which explores a model-biofiction to deconstruct and then reconstruct the intertwining of the synchronic and diachronic voices of its singular modus operandi. The final part of the volume is dedicated to Mab's Daughters by Judith Chernaik, an extremely interesting case of biofiction 'with possible worlds'.

    Abstract: Empire Girls: the colonial heroine comes of age is a critical examination of three novels by writers from different regions of the British Empire: Olive Schreiner’s The Story of An African Farm (South Africa), Sara Jeannette Duncan’s A Daughter of Today (Canada) and Henry Handel Richardson’s The Getting of Wisdom (Australia). All three novels commence as conventional Bildungsromane, yet the plots of all diverge from the usual narrative structure, as a result of both their colonial origins and the clash between their aspirational heroines and the plots available to them. In an analysis including gender, empire, nation and race, Empire Girls provides new critical perspectives on the ways in which this dominant narrative form performs very differently when taken out of its metropolitan setting

    Abstract: Grand palaces of culture, opera theaters marked the center of European cities like the cathedrals of the Middle Ages. As opera cast its spell, almost every European city and society aspired to have its own opera house, and dozens of new theaters were constructed in the course of the "long" nineteenth century. At the time of the French Revolution in 1789, only a few, mostly royal, opera theaters, existed in Europe. However, by the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries nearly every large town possessed a theater in which operas were performed, especially in Central Europe, the region upon which this book concentrates. This volume, a revised and extended version of two well-reviewed books published in German and Czech, explores the social and political background to this "opera mania" in nineteenth century Central Europe. After tracing the major trends in the opera history of the period, including the emergence of national genres of opera and its various social functions and cultural meanings, the author contrasts the histories of the major houses in Dresden (a court theater), Lemberg (a theater built and sponsored by aristocrats), and Prague (a civic institution). Beyond the operatic institutions and their key stage productions, composers such as Carl Maria von Weber, Richard Wagner, Bedřich Smetana, Stanisław Moniuszko, Antonín Dvořák, and Richard Strauss are put in their social and political contexts. The concluding chapter, bringing together the different leitmotifs of social and cultural history explored in the rest of the book, explains the specificities of opera life in Central Europe within a wider European and global framework

    Abstract: « Appelons romantique Hugo et la discussion est close » écrivait Giraudoux. Pourtant, en revenant sur l’idée de romantisme dont il faut signaler que, dès l’apparition du terme, elle a paru, à la fois, vague et indispensable, dangereuse et vide, énorme et pourtant infiniment dépassée ; en revenant sur ses réévaluations qui embrassent non seulement le domaine de la littérature mais aussi toute la sphère sociale (de la politique à la mode) et tout l’éventail des effets (de la passion à la haine), c’est le champ du littéraire dans son ensemble que ce livre engage. C’est en effet l’idée même de littérature que le romantisme prétend avoir ouvert, au point de se confondre avec elle. L’histoire de cette idée, de sa construction, entre incertitudes, dénégations et particularismes, tel est l’objet de ce livre, organisé en quatre parties comprises comme autant de modèles d’un rapport à la mémoire, de ses résistances, de sa permanence : figures et fictions, rémanences, résiliences et histoire d’autorités. Les travaux réunis ici montrent indiscutablement que nous sommes toujours sous le régime, romantique, du sujet et que la discussion est loin d’être close

    Abstract: In republican times, one of Rome's deadliest enemies was King Mithridates of Pontus. In 66 BCE, after decades of inconclusive struggle, the tribune Manilius proposed a bill that would give supreme command in the war against Mithridates to Pompey the Great, who had just swept the Mediterranean clean of another menace: the pirates. While powerful aristocrats objected to the proposal, which would endow Pompey with unprecedented powers, the bill proved hugely popular among the people, and one of the praetors, Marcus Tullius Cicero, also hastened to lend it his support. In his first ever political speech, variously entitled pro lege Manilia or de imperio Gnaei Pompei, Cicero argues that the war against Mithridates requires the appointment of a perfect general and that the only man to live up to such lofty standards is Pompey. In the section under consideration here, Cicero defines the most important hallmarks of the ideal military commander and tries to demonstrate that Pompey is his living embodiment. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and a commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, the incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both AS and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis and historical background to encourage critical engagement with Cicero's prose and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought

    Abstract: Tyrus Miller's book offers readers a focused introduction to the Frankfurt School's important attempts to relate the social, political, and philosophical conditions of modernity to innovations in twentieth-century art, literature, and culture. The book pursues this interaction of modernity and modernist aesthetics in a two-sided, dialectical approach. Not only, Miller suggests, can the Frankfurt School's penetrating critical analyses of the phenomena of modernity help us develop more nuanced, historically informed and contextually sensitive analyses of modernist culture; but also, modernist culture provides a field of problems, examples, and practices that intimately affected the formation of the Frankfurt School's theoretical ideas.The individual chapters, which include detailed discussions of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse as well as a survey of later Frankfurt School influenced thinkers, discuss the ideas of a given figure with an emphasis on particular artistic media or contexts: Benjamin with lyric poetry and architecture as urban art forms; Adorno with music; Marcuse with the liberationist art performances and happenings of the 1960s

C’est par elle que les flottes parties d’Asie, d’Afrique et des Amériques passaient de retour vers l’Europe. Cet essai porte sur la coexistence d’un contingent de soldats castillans et de la société insulaire civile, après la conquête de Terceira par la flotte de Philippe II, en 1583. La présence espagnole s’est aussitôt signalée par le nombre considérable de mariages conclus entre soldats venus de Castille et sujettes portugaises. La mixité des familles aura-t-elle su brouiller les appartenances politiques ? Les archives révèlent les relations qui se sont établies entre Castillans et Portugais et entre militaires et civils, dans cette société d’Ancien Régime, placée entre la péninsule Ibérique et tous ses outremers

    Abstract: L'implication du corps dans la création artistique ne fait guère de doute : il constitue la quatrième dimension de l'arrière-texte, la plus secrète. Il en va de cette entité fuyante, proche et insaisissable, comme du temps selon saint Augustin : on croit savoir ce dont il s’agit, mais si on y réfléchit un peu, tout se brouille. Cet en-deçà du langage, culturellement (re)construit, fonctionne dans la langue comme un signe articulé à un référent barré, inaccessible. Encodant symboliquement la trace refoulée de pulsions ou hantée par la présence de cet innommable, la langue littéraire joue néanmoins le double jeu d’inscrire et d’ex-crire le corps, selon le mot d’Antonin Artaud

    Abstract: During the late nineteenth century the city of Berlin developed such a reputation for lawlessness and sexual licentiousness that it came to be known as the "Whore of Babylon." Out of this reputation for debauchery grew an unusually rich discourse around prostitution. In Berlin Coquette, Jill Suzanne Smith shows how this discourse transcended the usual clichés about prostitutes and actually explored complex visions of alternative moralities or sexual countercultures including the "New Morality" articulated by feminist radicals, lesbian love, and the "New Woman."Combining extensive archival research with close readings of a broad spectrum of texts and images from the late Wilhelmine and Weimar periods, Smith recovers a surprising array of productive discussions about extramarital sexuality, women's financial autonomy, and respectability. She highlights in particular the figure of the cocotte (Kokotte), a specific type of prostitute who capitalized on the illusion of respectable or upstanding womanhood and therefore confounded easy categorization. By exploring the semantic connections between the figure of the cocotte and the act of flirtation (of being coquette), Smith's work presents flirtation as a type of social interaction through which both prostitutes and non-prostitutes in Imperial and Weimar Berlin could express extramarital sexual desire and agency.During the late nineteenth century the city of Berlin developed such a reputation for lawlessness and sexual licentiousness that it came to be known as the "Whore of Babylon."

    Abstract: The volume contains articles concerning the influence of Latinitas in the territory now occupied by Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus'. The articles, all published in English, range from history to literature and to cultural history and the history of ideas. They analyze the issue of building an identity, either real or imagined, from different points of view. Among the most interesting topics are the classical origins of myths and ideas that have helped build the national identities of those that constituted the ethnic mosaic of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the role of Neo-Latin poetry, as a conveyor of Latinitas, in the development of national identities. Because of the significance of Latinitas for both common European cultural traditions and the national cultures, literatures and languages of Belarus, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine, it is to be hoped that the subject will continue to attract a good level of attention in the future

    Abstract: The essays published here document the most recent linguistic research carried out in the field of Italian Slavistics. The contributions collected in the first part of the volume analyze the morphological and syntactic structures of various Slavic languages; the second part is dedicated to linguistic use; the last contains three experimental studies on the acquisition of Slavic languages, a particularly promising research area both for glottodidactic applications and for the contribution to studies on the relationship between thought and language. There are several Slavic languages studied (Czech, Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Ukrainian dialects, southern Slavic languages, including the spoken languages of the Pomaks in the Rhodope mountains), different perspectives (diachronic and synchronic) and various methodological approaches, testifying to the richness and progressive maturation of linguistic studies within Italian Slavistics

    Abstract: Combining insights from imperial studies and transnational book history, this provocative collection opens new vistas on both fields through ten accessible essays, each devoted to a single book. Contributors revisit well-known works associated with the British empire, including Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Thomas Macaulay's History of England, Charles Pearson's National Life and Character, and Robert Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys. They explore anticolonial texts in which authors such as C. L. R. James and Mohandas K. Gandhi chipped away at the foundations of imperial authority, and they introduce books that may be less familiar to students of empire. Taken together, the essays reveal the dynamics of what the editors call an "imperial commons," a lively, empire-wide print culture. They show that neither empire nor book were stable, self-evident constructs. Each helped to legitimize the other.Contributors.

    Abstract: The Italian contributions to the XIII International Congress of Slavists (Ljubljana, 15-21 August 2003) had a very limited circulation between the participants in the congress and the restricted circle of experts. Considering the high scientific value of the individual contributions, to which we continue to refer in the framework of Slavic literature, it was decided to publish these acts in the series "Library of Slavic Studies" also to celebrate the ten years of its existence. Faced with a consolidated tradition of studies in the philological and literary field, Italian Slavistics of the beginning of the millennium found itself facing new needs. On the one hand, a new generation of linguists has established themselves, who have developed a series of innovative research on Slavic languages, especially in the contrastive field. On the other hand, new research paths have developed in contemporary literature, especially in relation to the most recent historical circumstances which have seen profound cultural transformations in the Slavic countries themselves, with the need to reconstruct consolidated literary canons also on the basis of the literature of emigration. The same philological research has been able to question itself again on its role by taking up in a different form traditional issues such as the Cyril-Methodian question, the problem of biblical citations or the debate on the Latin Slavia and the Orthodox Slavia, as well as the more traditional ecdotic issues manifesting a new sensitivity starting from religious issues. Alberto Alberti is researcher in Slavistics at the University of Bologna

    Abstract: Margherita Guidacci's correspondence with Tiziano Minarelli is filled with memories and poetic occasions, and it allows us to shed light on the genesis of her latest poetic collections (from Inno alla gioia in 1983 to Anelli del tempo in 1993), to gather new sources of inspiration and to reconstruct the emotional and cultural background accompanying the writing of the letters. This correspondence encourages reflections on the Italian literary scene, as seen from the point of view of those who, like Margherita Guidacci, contributed to it by combining poetic activity (in Italian), translation (of a a third language as well), study and teaching of the English and American literature, and cultural journalism. It testifies to an intense friendship, a common passion for literature and reading, a constant sharing of poetic texts through transcriptions and quotations, and a growing familiarity

    Abstract: Au tournant du XXe siècle, l'Indochine est dotée par la France de trois Théâtres municipaux inaugurés à Saigon, à Hanoi et à Haiphong, hauts lieux de la culture française. Cette découverte du théâtre occidental parlé entraîne au Vietnam de profonds bouleversements dans la création traditionnelle. La première traduction en écriture romanisée quốc ngữ d'une pièce française, Le Malade imaginaire de Molière, marque un tournant historique et donne naissance en 1921 à la première pièce de théâtre parlé vietnamien, La Tasse de poison, par Vũ Đình Long. Les intellectuels vietnamiens voient dans le théâtre en quốc ngữ, langue dont le développement est encouragé par le colonisateur, un moyen de s'émanciper de l'héritage chinois et de s'affirmer face à la domination coloniale. Cet ouvrage, dont le fil directeur montre comment paradoxalement l'assimilation de la culture du colonisateur contribue à la fondation d'un État indépendant et moderne, envisage les trois volets de la réception du théâtre français par le biais de la presse et des revues, de sa traduction et de son adaptation, enfin des pratiques théâtrales croisées jusqu'à nos jours. Celles-ci ont donné lieu à une création métissée où les deux traditions théâtrales, dans leur respect mutuel, s'enrichissent de leur contact séculaire, tant sur le sol français qu'au Vietnam

    Abstract: Les rapports entre l'architecture et la littérature sont complexes. Pour sortir de la traditionnelle comparaison entre objets architecturaux et littéraires, il importe d'analyser les interactions entre ces deux domaines. Architectes, historiens de l'architecture et spécialistes de la littérature se sont interrogés sur leurs interférences, au cours de la décade organisée au Centre culturel international de Cerisy-La-Salle en septembre 2009. L'histoire des xxeet xxie siècles offre de nombreux exemples de l'utilisation de la littérature par les architectes dans l'ordre de la narration, de la fiction théorique, dans l'élaboration de leurs projets iconographiques et dans leur concrétisation. Le Corbusier, Guiseppe Terragni, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis I. Kahn, Daniel Liebeskind, Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman... permettent de croiser l'étude des différentes formes de l'expression de la pensée architecturale, la réflexion théorique sur les objets architecturaux et l'analyse de leur réception. La littérature ne convoque pas simplement l'architecture comme une analogie structurelle ou un motif. Les œuvres de Louis Aragon, André Gide, Michel Butor, Julien Gracq, Edmond Jabès, Georges Perec, Olivier Rolin, Benoît Duteurtre, Philippe Vasset... offrent l'occasion de s'interroger sur le sens de leurs rapports et sur les complémentarités entre l'écriture, l'architecture et l'espace

    Abstract: Musica, scienziato!, a work that cannot be reduced to pre-existing models, establishes a new literary genre, the scientifantasia, which, although part of a literary tradition which has included eminent figures such as the acrobatic engineer Gadda and the chemist Levi, is here presented in a totally new physiognomy. The scientist-writer, Narrator of the monologues, becomes a musical storyteller that makes up stories through the languages of his time, and the 'scientific word' ends up "exorcising the evil of history and the weight of existence" in order to soften and redeem them, placing them within the range of knowledge and expression without which, quoting the Shakespearean lines recited at the end of Revealing Ravel, man is "fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. / The motions of his spirit are dull as night, / and his affections dark as Erebus".

    Abstract: Vulcano, Sicily 1964. After a meeting with him in Cortona, Helle Busacca, a poet and writer from Messina, began drafting an epistolary diary dedicated to Corrado Pavolini, a well-known intellectual and film director of Tuscan origins with whom she had been in love for over twenty years. Through the so far unpublished pages she dedicated to "una storia senza storia" ("a story without history"), the writer brings to life an incandescent theatre of the self, in which the dramatization of personal experience, the self-representative elaboration and the expression of a living and restless inner self combine in a mixture of strongly hybrid characters, which is conveyed by a disruptive communicative force. As the desperately pursued interlocutor becomes increasingly evanescent and unreachable, the voice of a modern tragic heroine emerges unmistakably between claim and confession

    Abstract: The royal monastery of San Salvatore on Mount Amiata, which, according to tradition, was founded in the 8th century by the will of the Lombard kings near the papal lands, has been the focus of numerous researches in recent decades dedicated not only to some famous codices preserved for centuries in his library, but also to the documentary writings handed down in the Diplomatico, which collects documentation from the mid-eighth century. In this volume, the paleographic and diplomatic interpretation of the writings elaborated by the abbots and the Amiata monks intertwines with the reconstruction of the practices of power management, both in its local dimension and in that of relations with popes and emperors

    Abstract: The volume collects the contributions of the 'study day' held on June 16, 2010 at the University of Florence on Abbeys and medieval landscapes in Tuscany, that is, on the forms of the territory that have structured the ways of life in the countryside of our region for centuries. Today an infatuation is observed for that kind of landscape, which is confirmed by a lack of interest for its conservation or for transformations respectful of the rules that produced it. It is therefore appropriate to submit to the historic method a synthetic view of the medieval landscape, from the ancient premises to the economic reasons that led to the monastic and feudal forms, up to the appearance of a new structure appreciated for its useful beauty, in a persistent substratum of mysterious storytelling. Tuscany allows multiple evidence of what actually survives of the pervasive order established in the Middle Ages also for its exemplary literary and iconographic representations, both contemporary and of the medieval times

Alors même que toute expérience révolutionnaire était censée s'achever dans le pire des totalitarismes et que la mondialisation devait mettre fin à l'Histoire, voilà que des peuples revendiquent le droit à la Liberté, à l'Égalité et à la Fraternité ! Interpellés par les événements contemporains, des spécialistes de la Révolution française, d'horizons très divers, réunis lors d'un colloque international à Aix-en-Provence en 2012, ont voulu reprendre les questionnements de base de tout phénomène révolutionnaire : comment entre-t-on en Révolution ? Qu'est-ce qu'un peuple en Révolution ? Comment se forgent les idées de souveraineté politique et nationale ?

Combinant les approches, entrecroisant trajectoires individuelles et destins collectifs, il donne à voir le rôle structurant des villes dans la façon de concevoir et représenter l'espace, témoigne des réussites et des échecs du vivre ensemble. Dans une perspective d'anthropologie historique, il interroge la question de la souffrance des corps au travail et des corps asociaux. Il joue enfin sur les échelles de la mémoire, questionnant l'action des institutions et des hommes comme passeurs de culture, mettant en évidence l'importance du phénomène de la circulation au sein d'un espace marqué par un incessant va-et-vient de civilisations dont l'extrême enchevêtrement a fini par donner naissance à une certaine forme d'homogénéité

    Abstract: Starting from the main theories about the imaginary - from the Freudian category of Unheimliche and the Todorovian category of hésitation up to the most recent contributions - the volume highlights the imaginary elements of instability in Flann O'Brien's narrative. In particular, the author analyses the discontinuities and irreconcilable contradictions of the Irish writer's textual systems, the idiosyncratic and fragmented representation of the characters, the ambiguous coexistence of natural and supernatural, the problematic relationship between signifier and signified. Malapropisms, neologisms, linguistic tics, nonsense and a series of meta-narrative games seem to compromise the search for reliable answers within the Obrienian cosmos in which truth is, in fact, an odd number

    Abstract: Carlo Marsuppini (1398-1453) is a well known professor at the Studio Fiorentino, Chancellor of the Republic, friend of Cosimo de' Medici and tutor of his children, translator of Homeric and pseudo-homeric works, author of private and, above all, public letters. His activity as a poet is less known: his writings in vernacular were so far entrusted to a handful of poems published in the collection Carmina illustrium poetarum italorum (1720). This book offers for the first time a rigorous critical edition of the humanist's poetic production, based on the analysis of the vast vast known manuscript tradition, and a broad commentary on the individual poems, of which a translation into Italian is also offered

    Abstract: Wackenroder's conception of music is strongly influenced by the musical thought of the composer Johann Friedrich Reichardt, who was a romantic music teacher, friend and mentor of Wackenroder, whom he introduced to the 'realm of sounds'. Reichardt was the author of numerous essays on music and of the unique Musikerroman from the Enlightenment period (Leben des berühmten Tonkünstlers Heinrich Wilhelm Gulden nachher genannt Guglielmo Enrico Fiorino, 1779). Wackenroder e Reichardt: musica e letteratura nel primo Romanticismo tedesco ("Wackenroder and Reichardt: music and literature in the first German Romanticism") compares the literary works of the two authors and investigates the results of their influence. The work retraces the transition from the conception of music during the Enlightenment, linked to the social function of art, to the idea of an 'absolute' music of the Romantic era, determining the artist's problematic existence

    Abstract: Hoffmann von Fallersleben unternahm 1819 seine erste Reise in die Niederlande. Zahlreiche Werke Hoffmanns bezeugen sein Interesse für das niederländische Sprachgebiet. Aus seiner Autobiographie, seinen Tagebüchern, Notizen, den Vorlesungen, der Korrespondenz sowie aus seinen Zeitungsartikeln lassen sich Erkenntnisse über seine Beziehungen in die Niederlande und nach Belgien ableiten. Aber weder die Beziehungen noch sein Belgien- und Niederlandebild sind bis heute erschöpfend erforscht worden. Diese Untersuchung will Hoffmanns Beziehungen zu den Niederlanden und zum nachmaligen Belgien sowie das Netzwerk, das er dort aufbaute, anhand seiner Korrespondenz und der Akten zu seiner Person rekonstruieren. Hoffmann schildert ein diffuses Bild der Nachbarn, das von einer deutsch-nationalen Einstellung geprägt ist. Zu fragen ist, ob sein positives Verhalten und seine negativen Äußerungen lediglich ideologisch motiviert waren und vorwiegend daher rührten, daß er, wie viele deutsche Intellektuelle im 19. Jahrhundert, versuchte, die Niederlande und Belgien einem deutschen Staatsgefüge einzugliedern, oder ob er vielmehr als Kulturvermittler zu gelten hat. Hoffmanns Briefwechsel umfaßt, soweit sich jetzt feststellen läßt, über 7000 Briefe, die hier erstmals in einem Verzeichnis erfaßt sind. Daneben werden unveröffentlichte Materialien aus deutschen, belgischen und niederländischen Archiven, die bisher in der Forschung nicht berücksichtigt wurden, vorgestellt

    Abstract: During the late nineteenth century the city of Berlin developed such a reputation for lawlessness and sexual licentiousness that it came to be known as the "Whore of Babylon." Out of this reputation for debauchery grew an unusually rich discourse around prostitution. In Berlin Coquette, Jill Suzanne Smith shows how this discourse transcended the usual clichés about prostitutes and actually explored complex visions of alternative moralities or sexual countercultures including the "New Morality" articulated by feminist radicals, lesbian love, and the "New Woman." Combining extensive archival research with close readings of a broad spectrum of texts and images from the late Wilhelmine and Weimar periods, Smith recovers a surprising array of productive discussions about extramarital sexuality, women’s financial autonomy, and respectability. She highlights in particular the figure of the cocotte (Kokotte), a specific type of prostitute who capitalized on the illusion of respectable or upstanding womanhood and therefore confounded easy categorization. By exploring the semantic connections between the figure of the cocotte and the act of flirtation (of being coquette), Smith’s work presents flirtation as a type of social interaction through which both prostitutes and non-prostitutes in Imperial and Weimar Berlin could express extramarital sexual desire and agency

    Abstract: This volume contains Italian contributions to the XV Slavists' International Congress (Minsk, 20-27 August 2013). In the wake of the best Italian Slavic tradition, the lecturers present a wide range of themes in different languages, ranging from the Cyril-Methodian question to the critical reflection on contemporary authors. Despite the diversity of disciplinary and methodological approaches - from paleography to textual analysis, from literary comparative studies to sociolinguistics - these contributions show that Italian Slavistic studies maintains their roots, critically developing previous studies and opening up new perspectives for research, while a new generation of scholars is born. As in the past, Italian studies on Slavistics are playing a significant role not only in Italy's cultural relations with the Slavic countries, but more generally on the perspective of a vast and complex process of integration of the various European cultures, which goes further beyond the borders of the European Union; a process in which the Slavic world, with its variety of languages and cultures, is one of the main actors

    Abstract: This study deals with the first works by Don DeLillo, from Americana (1971) to Running Dog (1978), but it also extends its investigation horizon to his following works. The work deals specifically with the conception of time, and the way it is represented in the texts of the American author. By integrating the philosophy of time with narratology, the volume offers critical reflections aimed at identifying the type of poetics through which DeLillo articulates time in his work. In particular, the centrality of the perception of time in his novels and, more specifically, the concentration of the plots in certain moments, the oblique presence of the influence of Samuel Beckett's work in the representation of duration and the attention of the author to the double temporality of the cinematographic image and its hidden aesthetic potential are highlighted. Therefore, time becomes the conceptual context in which the textures of these texts, and the themes characterising them, find a resolution. In the representation of time, in the microscopic analysis and in the slow motion of some specific time segments, DeLillo's narrative traces the possibilities of an indefinable and mysterious perception of reality and history

    Abstract: The objective of this work is to investigate the meaning of myth in the work of Yvan Goll (1891-1950), a Franco-German, bilingual and Jewish poet. In his poems, characters of the classical tradition alternate with biblical and historical figures: among all stands out the topic of the myth of Europe, understood as a geographical space and universal homeland for all those who, born in a borderland like Goll, feel "heimatlos", that is stateless. The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate how the artist's dialogue with the myth follows precise and constant rules with a clear goal: to send a strong message to the contemporary world. Taking into consideration the works dedicated to the mythical heritage, it is observed how after the Mythisierung (mythisation) of the old continent, the author deconstructs his own creation through a systematic Entmythisierung (demythisation)

À sa disparition en 2010, on a tout naturellement, en France et à l'étranger, salué en l'auteur de La Collectionneuse, de Ma nuit chez Maud, du Genou de Claire et de Pauline à la plage, le Marivaux ou le « moraliste du septième art », le « Master of tact », « le cinéaste littéraire par excellence ». Réunissant, autour d'une commune attraction, des spécialistes de la littérature française et du cinéma, ce Rohmer en perspectives propose d'aborder le cinéaste à travers le prisme d'une contemporanéité complexe et contradictoire où l'héritage humaniste et la quête de beauté, de vérité et d'ordre s'ouvrent, non sans ambiguïté, aux intrusions, empêchements, déséquilibres et désordres du vivant. Entre le celluloïd, le polaroïd et le marbre, se dessine ici le portrait de Rohmer en contemporain inactuel qui, du Signe du lion aux Amours d'Astrée et de Céladon, n'a cessé d'exposer le classicisme français aux rayons de la modernité et de l'historicité cinématographiques

    Abstract: Durant l'entre-deux-guerres, au sein de la chronique locale de la presse quotidienne régionale, pas un seul jour ne se passait sans que le journaliste n'informe son lecteur de la grave menace dont il était à chaque instant la cible : chapardage, filouterie, entôlage, cambriolage, agression, meurtre ! La chronique des faits divers restait le témoignage concret d'un danger permanent, d'une catastrophe quotidienne : le larcin. Illustration pessimiste de la fragilité de la vie ordinaire, l'article de vol demeurait toutefois dans le même temps une arme utile pour contrer ce funeste péril ; il restait en effet un lieu de savoir essentiel, décryptant autant la technologie déprédatrice que le profil retenu de son auteur, apportant à chacun des connaissances précieuses pour se prémunir des ravages du larron. Le caractère pédagogique de l'article sur le vol apparaît du reste d'autant plus crucial, que son but n'était pas seulement limité à assurer la veille de ses biens par le citoyen lecteur : en captant son attention grâce au sentiment humain le plus mobilisateur (la peur), le fait divers se dévoile également comme l'occasion d'un cours sur l'État, invitant chacun à honorer les institutions qui le protègent, voire d'une véritable leçon de vie, destinée à contrôler tout geste, émotion ou passion populaire. En s'intéressant à la publicité d'un comportement humain vil, illégal, déviant, ce n'est pas seulement l'image d'un monde criminel disparu qui resurgit, c'est en définitive, et paradoxalement, les coutumes, les normes, les lois qui régissaient le bon fonctionnement d'une société encore méconnue, qui parviennent jusqu'à nous

    Abstract: Aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, l'Hôtel-Dieu est le plus grand hôpital de Marseille. Dès sa création, il se distingue de nombres d'hôpitaux de son époque par l'emploi d'un personnel soignant strictement laïque et par la présence d'une véritable équipe médicale. Soutenus par la direction de l'hôpital, les soignants proposent des soins en adéquation avec les connaissances médicales de leur époque répondant à des normes qualitatives strictes visant à la guérison complète des malades. Mais l'Hôtel-Dieu n'est pas qu'un lieu de soins, il est aussi un lieu de travail et un lieu de vie pour son personnel qui y assure une présence continue de jour comme de nuit. Il est en outre, un lieu de formation pour les chirurgiens et les pharmaciens qui y suivent un véritable cursus pouvant mener jusqu'à l'obtention des lettres de maîtrise

    Abstract: Ce volume étudie les représentations romantiques de la forêt au xixe entre romantisme et positivisme mais aussi entre romantisme et décadentisme autour de plusieurs pistes et questions. Il s'attache à dégager à travers tout le xixe les continuités, les ruptures, les modulations, les détournements voire les retournements. La forêt est un espace sauvage certes ; mais en même temps elle est un paysage en perpétuelle évolution : elle n'échappe pas à l'économie. Les écrivains, Balzac et Sand, par exemple, enregistreront ces mutations. La forêt se sépare en deux espaces : celui des cultures (de la culture), celui de la nature. Le couple est sans cesse interrogé dans ce volume. L'attachement romantique à la forêt n'est pas seulement l'expression d'une nostalgie. Il est également porteur des embryons d'une pensée que nous qualifierions aujourd'hui « d'écologiste ». Ce livre, qui regroupe une vingtaine de contributions, part de l'évidence romantique apparente selon laquelle le moi est lié à la forêt. La force de cette relation privilégiée est ensuite examinée, qui s'explique aussi bien par les enchantements que par les chants offerts par et dans la forêt. Examiner ensuite comment la réalité sylvestre, celle de Fontainebleau, en particulier, qui a conquis de grands écrivains de l'époque, hante et nourrit tout à la fois l'imaginaire fantasmatique, permet d'aborder pour finir la forêt dans sa dimension iconographique. Le livre se clôt sur un magnifique portfolio photographique

    Abstract: La question de la censure, de ses modalités et de ses effets, semble inépuisable, et toutes les formes d'expression, que ce soit des textes (poésie, théâtre, roman, presse...) ou des images (peinture, photographie, cinéma...) sont susceptibles d'être à un moment ou à un autre les victimes de mesures censoriales plus ou moins sévères. Ce livre envisage les cas de l'Espagne, du Portugal et de divers pays d'Amérique Latine (Argentine et Uruguay) autour de trois thématiques : les pouvoirs et les censures de l'Ancien Régime au xxe siècle ; les dictatures face aux productions littéraires et cinématographiques : franquisme, salazarisme, dictatures latino-américaines ; langue et littérature : autocensures, oublis, manipulations. La question des stratégies à adopter face à la censure est au cœur de ce volume. Comment contourner la censure, s'y adapter et faire avec, comment pouvoir donc communiquer avec son public plus ou moins « librement » ? Les pratiques peuvent être variées et dépendre des situations concrètes, qu'il s'agisse de déplacement physique, de choix d'une autre langue ou d'effacement de repères concrets pouvant permettre de remonter jusqu'aux imprimeurs et auteurs de publications dont le contenu « hétérodoxe » peut faire l'objet de répression, en passant par l'autocensure, le jeu du possible qui peut permettre de faire naître des espaces de transgression. Brutale, souvent arbitraire, aveugle et polymorphe, la censure et ses agents sont rarement intelligents. La ruse, et donc la métaphore ou l'ellipse, devient alors une pratique obligatoire pour tenter de tromper les censeurs

    Abstract: Although it resonates today with lavender fields, sunny heritage locations and the gentrified memory of Paul Cézanne's pictorial turbulence, Provence has not always been the attractive territory of pacified leisure and festival culture. Since the seventeenth century, indeed, the region has inscribed its shifting geography, complex politics and the extraordinary diversity of its land and seascapes in the perception and imagination of British visitors. In the steps of anonymous or excellent travellers, the chapters of this volume chart some of the most significant moments in the intercultural transactions between the proud linguistic and literary distinctiveness of the province on one hand and the always challenged and sometimes baffled perception of Anglophone (and Anglophile) visitors on the other. Spanning across two centuries, from the largely unknown pre-revolutionary Provence visited by John locke and Tobias Smollett through the Victorian paradise of popular tourism and finally to the more secret 'homeland' of Modernists, this volume reveals an unexpected Provence which, in oblique and complex ways, has long held a mirror to British culture and often acted as the laboratory of its artistic life

    Abstract: The Byzantine civilisation has left a lasting mark on individuals and societies of South-Eastern Europe. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453 it lost the frame, the Byzantine Empire, in which it had flourished for more than a millennium. Although restrained by a new power, the Ottoman Empire, Byzantine legacies never disappeared but survived in memories and traditions, in history and faith, in formal or informal institutions. And when peoples formerly included in the Byzantine Empire or subject to its influence established themselves as nations, when they started writing their past and considered what could be their European fate - from the Enlightenment, but especially in the 19th and 20th centuries - Byzantium was naturally reconsidered, reassessed, reinvented. The aim of this collective book is to study in a comparative manner, thanks to scholars of all countries, the history of the memory of Byzantium in South-Eastern Europe. A conclusion emerges: neither a nostalgia nor a curiosity, Byzantium appears as one of the foundations of modern Europe

    Abstract: Le mythe de Marseille s'avère une construction du modernisme : c'est avec la révolution industrielle, les flux migratoires, l'empreinte coloniale et la violence des inégalités que s'est construit l'imaginaire si singulier de « la cité phocéenne ». Seule ville mythique de France avec Paris, Marseille, dans sa misère et sa gloire, continue à nourrir une mythologie populaire, anarchique et sujette à de nombreuses manipulations médiatiques. Les études historiques, littéraires et artistiques rassemblées dans cet ouvrage, illustrées par des documents iconographiques, se présentent comme des contributions à une histoire culturelle de Marseille. Elles sont complétées par des témoignages historiques et artistiques et par des échanges sur les développements actuels du mythe, héritiers d'un modernisme inachevé, illustrant ainsi l'enchevêtrement du passé et du présent propre à la culture - et à la politique culturelle ? - de Marseille

    Abstract: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Right-wing populist movements and related political parties are gaining ground in many EU member states. This unique, interdisciplinary book provides an overall picture of the dynamics and development of these parties across Europe and beyond. Combining theory with in-depth case studies, it offers a comparative analysis of the policies and rhetoric of existing and emerging parties including the British BNP, the Hungarian Jobbik and the Danish Folkeparti. The case studies qualitatively and quantitatively analyse right-wing populist groups in the following countries: Austria, Germany, Britain, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Hungary, Belgium, Ukraine, Estonia, and Latvia, with one essay exclusively focused on the US. This timely and socially relevant collection is essential reading for scholars, students and practitioners wanting to understand the recent rise of populist right wing parties at local, countrywide and regional levels

    Abstract: La rédaction de l'Histoire est une prise de position autant qu'une satisfaction personnelle pour les écrivains des xive et xve siècles qui voient dans un livre dédié au souverain une occasion de lui donner des leçons de gouvernement. Cela se vérifie en Castille aussi bien que dans les autres États de l'Occident, dans des décennies de profonds troubles politiques. Les historiographes y possèdent une solide culture humaniste, ils savent et aiment écrire, et ils sont tous engagés dans la vie politique. L'histoire de leur Castille, les chroniques des rois, les traités, les portraits des hommes illustres qui ont marqué les générations écoulées, tous ces textes sont des messages envoyés à leurs lecteurs, qui ont la charge du royaume ou qui prétendent participer au gouvernement. Pero López de Ayala, Fernán Pérez de Guzmán, Diego de Valera, Pedro Carrillo de Huete, Alfonso de Palencia, Hernando del Pulgar se penchent tour à tour, à la demande de la cour ou de leur pleine initiative, sur le déroulement des règnes qu'ils connaissent, auxquels ils participent, contre lesquels ils ont souvent des reproches à formuler et pour lesquels ils se donnent volontiers le rôle de censeurs. Cette élaboration de l'Histoire peut être suivie dans le présent ouvrage ; l'histoire de la Castille devient un message politique, avec des arguments, des exemples choisis et toujours des réflexions devant servir aux générations futures

    Abstract: La période allant de la fin du XVe siècle au début du XIXe a été celle de la mise en relation d'espaces lointains, de l'accélération des transactions, de la transformation des pratiques et des réseaux du négoce, bref, de la première mondialisation des échanges. La dilatation de l'espace commercial et l'essor du négoce interculturel ont conduit les marchands à mobiliser, ajuster et élargir leurs compétences, notamment celles qui concernent les langues et les langages - considérés ici dans leur acception la plus large. Ce constat a souvent été dressé par les historiens du commerce qui n'ont cependant pas poussé plus avant leurs travaux dans une direction qui les éloignait de leurs études en cours. Ces recherches différées ont rarement été remises sur le métier ou seulement de manière périphérique à l'occasion de réflexions sur la formation des négociants ou des diplomates et sur la médiation interculturelle. Or, force est de reconnaître que dans le commerce international le maniement et la maîtrise de compétences langagières et linguistiques comptent parmi les éléments de la réussite. Cet ouvrage collectif, qui privilégie les espaces méditerranéen et européen, vise à comprendre comment ces compétences ont été acquises, pensées, utilisées et transmises non seulement par les marchands, mais aussi par ceux qui agissaient pour leur compte ou qui les accompagnaient

    Abstract: Perché l'Italia repubblicana non ha avuto un partito socialdemocratico paragonabile a quelli degli altri paesi europei? E cos'è stata, invece, la socialdemocrazia italiana? Che cultura politica ha espresso? Chi ne sono stati i portatori? A queste e altre domande cerca di rispondere questo libro, analizzando le origini del Partito Socialdemocratico Italiano e la sua storia nel primo periodo repubblicano (1947-1953). Muovendosi sul duplice binario della storia politica e della storia delle culture politiche, esso ricostruisce sia le convulse vicende dell'area socialista a destra del PSI sia l'evoluzione degli orizzonti dottrinari, delle strutture interpretative della realtà e dei modi di intendere l'agire politico che tale area espresse, focalizzando l'attenzione sulla molteplicità di attori, sensibilità e mentalità che in essa, per un breve periodo, si incontrarono. Sullo sfondo, stanno la guerra fredda e il brutale impatto che essa ebbe sul sistema politico italiano

    Abstract: 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

    Abstract: L'ennui est une notion clé dans la littérature de la deuxième moitié du xixe siècle, ce qui ne veut pas dire qu'il ne faille pas chercher l'expression de l'ennui avant ou après cette période. Si le passage de la mélancolie romantique à l'ennui fin de siècle représente en effet une évolution historique essentielle pour la compréhension de l'ennui au xixe siècle, il nous a semblé aussi important d'étudier dans ce livre l'ennui en dehors de ce contexte historique exceptionnel. Il était nécessaire de distinguer un phénomène de mode, une attitude, d'une souffrance existentielle ou d'un ennui d'essence pascalienne. Il nous a semblé indispensable également de distinguer l'ennui de la mélancolie à laquelle nous avions déjà consacré un volume dans cette collection. Mélancolie et ennui ont un lien avec le vide, le vide ressenti au présent. Mais dans l'ennui, ce vide est une sorte d'atonie, d'état qui s'étale, sans relief. L'ennui, c'est la résignation au vide, â la monotonie, c'est l'impuissance à ouvrir une faille, une brèche dans cet état monocorde. Pour définir l'expérience de l'ennui, quelle que soit l'époque envisagée, ne faut-il pas partir du rapport de l'homme au temps ? L'ennui, c'est le sentiment de l'éternelle permanence. Nul futur n'est à venir, rien n'adviendra jamais à un présent qui se répète. Ce temps mort est le temps de l'ennui. La vie ne peut plus être sentie que comme déception, répétition, absence, non-être. Ce n'est plus l'objet qui déçoit le sujet, c'est le sujet qui se déçoit lui-même. L'expérience de l'ennui relève d'une sorte d'incapacité originelle à être affecté. C'est le désir lui-même qui disparaît avec tout ce que cela implique de suspension des sens et disparition de ce qui reste fondamental dans la Mélancolie : la nostalgie

    Abstract: L'esperienza della municipalizzazione delle case popolari nell'Italia giolittiana permette di focalizzare gli estremi di una parabola che approdò al riconoscimento delle problematiche abitative quale questione di interesse collettivo. La genesi dell'housing sociale si disperde pertanto nel complesso di iniziative che è stato possibile ricostruire nel supporto di uno straordinario corpus di documenti d'archivio, indagato nell'egida dei provvedimenti legislativi in materia di case popolari e municipalizzazione varati nel corso del 1903, vero e proprio termine spartiacque per gli sviluppi di tale vicenda. Sullo sfondo del combinato disposto scaturito dalle due normative si dipana infatti il filo rosso dell'intera narrazione, un viaggio che si muove attraverso frammenti di esperienze locali, riflessi di microstoria aggregati in un articolato mosaico fondato sul collante della municipalizzazione, lasciando trasparire il preludio di una fase di rottura in grado di liberare i prodromi dell'odierno welfare state

    Abstract: Elizabeth Singer Rowe played a pivotal role in the development of the novel during the eighteenth century.Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of the Choice ACRLElizabeth Singer Rowe and the Development of the English Novel is the first in-depth study of Rowe's prose fiction. A four-volume collection of her work was a bestseller for a hundred years after its publication, but today Rowe is a largely unrecognized figure in the history of the novel. Although her poetry was appreciated by poets such as Alexander Pope for its metrical craftsmanship, beauty, and imagery, by the time of her death in 1737 she was better known for her fiction. According to Paula R. Backscheider, Rowe's major focus in her novels was on creating characters who were seeking a harmonious, contented life, often in the face of considerable social pressure. This quest would become the plotline in a large number of works in the second half of the eighteenth century, and it continues to be a major theme today in novels by women.Backscheider relates Rowe's work to popular fiction written by earlier writers as well as by her contemporaries. Rowe had a lasting influence on major movements, including the politeness (or gentility) movement, the reading revolution, and the Bluestocking society. The author reveals new information about each of these movements, and Elizabeth Singer Rowe emerges as an important innovator. Her influence resulted in new types of novel writing, philosophies, and lifestyles for women. Backscheider looks to archival materials, literary analysis, biographical evidence, and a configuration of cultural and feminist theories to prove her groundbreaking argument

    Abstract: The title of this volume refers to a reality which is often dramatically experienced, in different historical phases, by all the territories where Slavic cultures lived in contact with other ethnic groups. Beyond the problems of coexistence, which is additionally complicated today by phenomena such as globalisation and multiculturalism that disguise identity conflicts, the history of the Slavs has always been intertwined with that of other peoples. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to propose the recurrent theme of "borders", which offers ample space for reflection on a multiplicity of aspects of Slavic cultures. Today Italy still looks at the countries of Central and Eastern Europe with a certain skepticism. The languages and traditions of this area remain little or not at all known. The migratory flows of the peoples in the past twenty years have contributed to creating the image of a backward Europe of secondary importance, which wants to impose itself on the Europe of primary importance. This collective volume, on the other hand, wants to show how we can strive to understand our identity as Europeans only by widening our gaze to the east and learning the lesson of the territories of Central and Eastern Europe. Even if the western Slavs and part of the southern Slavs have participated in western history since the Middle Ages and were then divided by historical events, a new European identity can be forged only by reflecting on the events of the entire Slavic world, and experiencing the same difficulties of coexistence (as is now also the experience of western Europe) between residents and immigrants, majority and minority cultures, identity and otherness

    Abstract: Elegantie lingue latine is the masterpiece of Lorenzo Valla's reflection on language, through which the humanist gave birth to a real re-foundation of Latin. To date we still do not have a modern, scientifically based edition of the text characterising the various editorial phases of the work, on which the author worked for over ten years and which, arbitrarily and by the author's own will, was in circulation long before its official publication. This research is part of a future complete edition of the text: the first complete edition of a book of the "Elegantie" is presented, limited to the fifth book on the "disputatio verborum", based on the examination, albeit partial, of the handwritten tradition and on a global reconsideration of the editorial history work

    Abstract: This volume is a critical assessment of the current state of archaeological knowledge of the settlement originally called Camulodunon and now known as Colchester. The town has been the subject of antiquarian interest since the late 16th century and the first modern archaeological excavations occurred in 1845 close to Colchester Castle, the towns most prominent historic site.The earliest significant human occupation recorded from Colchester dates to the late Neolithic, but it was only towards the end of the 1st century BC that an oppidum was established in the area. This was superseded initially by a Roman legionary fortress and then the colonia of Camulodunum on a hilltop bounded on the north and east by the river Colne. There is little evidence for continuing occupation here in the early post-Roman period, but in 917 the town was re-established as a burgh and gradually grew in importance. After the Norman Conquest, a castle was built on the foundations of the ruined Roman Temple of Claudius, and a priory and an abbey were established just to the south of the walled town.Although the town, as elsewhere, was affected by the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the English Civil War it remained essentially medieval in character until the 18th century. During the 19th century this process of change was accelerated by the arrival of the railway, industrialisation and the establishment of the military garrison.Since the 1960s Colchester has been subject to recurring phases of re-development, the most recent having ended only in 2007, which have had a significant impact on the historic environment. Fortunately the town is one of the best studied in the country

    Abstract: Between 1999-2006 Addyman Archaeology carried out extensive archaeological excavations on the peninsular site of Kirk Ness, North Berwick, during the building, landscaping and extension of the Scottish Seabird Centre. This book presents the results of these works but its scope is much broader. Against the background of important new discoveries made at the site it brings together and re-examines all the evidence for early North Berwick - archaeological, historical, documentary, pictorial and cartographic - and includes much previously unpublished material. An essential new resource, it opens a fascinating window on the history of the ancient burgh.Kirk Ness is well known as the site of the medieval church of the parish and later royal burgh of North Berwick but it has long been suggested that it was also a centre of early Christian activity. The dedication of the church to St Andrew was speculatively linked to the translation of the Saint's relics to St Andrews in Fife in the 8th century. An early medieval component of the site was indeed confirmed by the excavation, with structural remains, individual finds and an important new series of radiocarbon dates. Occupation of a domestic character may possibly reflect a monastic community associated with an early church. Individual finds included stone tools, lead objects, ceramic material and a faunal assemblage that included bones of butchered seals, fish and seabirds such as the now-extinct Great Auk.The site continued in use as the medieval and early post-medieval parish and burgh church of St Andrew. In this period Kirk Ness and its harbour was an important staging point for pilgrims on route to the shrine of St Andrew in Fife. Domestic occupation discovered in the excavations is likely to be associated with a pilgrims' hospice, also suggested in historical sources.This publication also provides a new analysis of the church ruin and an account of the major unpublished excavation of the site carried out in 1951-52 by the scholar and antiquary Dr James Richardson, Scotland's first Inspector of Ancient Monuments and resident of North Berwick.The excavations also revealed areas of the cemetery associated with the church, dating to the 12th-17th centuries, where inhumations presented notable contrasts in burial practice. Osteological study shed much light upon the health and demographics of North Berwick's early population and identified one individual who met with a particularly violent death

    Abstract: Newcastle upon Tyne is one of England's great cities. Many think of it mainly as a product of the Industrial Revolution when abundant resources of coal, iron ore and water came together to create a Victorian industrial powerhouse. In fact, Newcastle's long and proud history began in Roman times when Hadrian's Wall marked the northernmost point of the Roman Empire.Newcastle became a thriving medieval port, with trading connections around the North Sea, the Atlantic, the Baltic countries and the Mediterranean. By the mid-17th century, Newcastle was not only a major European port, but was also becoming the pre-eminent exporter of coal fuelling the incipient industrial revolution. This volume brings together the archaeological evidence for occupation in the historic core of Newcastle between the prehistoric period and 1650. It places the evidence in the context of the evolving historical communities who made and occupied the site, and in the wider context of medieval and early modern European urban life.The volume synthesizes archaeological and historical evidence, highlighting material only known through excavation - like the early medieval use of the decaying Roman fort for a cemetery and probable church - as well as throwing new light on documented activities - like the way in which the waterfront was physically extended and consolidated to support trade from the 12th century onwards. Taking its name from a castle of national significance, planted after the Norman Conquest as a bulwark against Northern rebels and Scottish aggression, Newcastle was established as the king's 'Eye of the North'

    Abstract: Since the mid-1980s, public discourse in Poland has repeatedly focussed on the issue of how to deal with the National Socialists` destruction of the Jews. This has raised accusations that the Polish people bore an element of moral or active guilt which, however, conflict with the country`s long-established perception of itself as a community of heroes and victims. The author examines the question of how Polish society is handling this contradiction

    Abstract: Le processus de création littéraire, qu'essaie d'appréhender l'étude de l'arrière-texte, met en jeu un triple rapport : au monde extérieur, théâtre de nos vies individuelles et collectives, au monde intérieur des pensées conscientes ou inconscientes, aux œuvres littéraires ou artistiques qui font jouer ensemble ces deux mondes. Dès lors se repose la question du ou plutôt des référents, cette catégorie hétérogène étant envisagée ici sur un mode pluriel. L’espace – géographique, psychique, sémiotique – pourrait être la notion aidant à concevoir l’articulation de cette pluralité à l’œuvre dans la relation littéraire

    Abstract: Aufgrund jahrzehntelanger, systematischer luftbildarchäologischer Arbeiten konnte ein vorläufiger Gesamtplan der im Boden verborgenen antiken Reste des römischen Carnuntum hergestellt werden. Dieser zeigt archäologische Strukturen, die sich über mehrere Quadratkilometer erstrecken und von der dichten Bebauung des Stadtareals der canabae bis zu Strukturen der Wasserversorgung reichen. In Zusammenschau mit publizierten Altgrabungen konnte eine Neubewertung des bisherigen Forschungsstandes erfolgen und ein Stadtmodell der canabae erarbeitet werden. Die Luftbildauswertung aus dem Bereich der Carnuntiner canabae legionis ist somit nicht nur eine willkommene Ergänzung zu den vorliegenden Grabungsbefunden, sondern bietet erstmals auch die Möglichkeit, grundlegende Fragen zum Siedlungstyp "römische Lagervorstadt“ zu beantworten.Luftbildarchäologie ist viel mehr als das "bloße“ Auffinden von Fundstellen oder eine Ergänzung zur Verbreitungskarte. Sie kann den Archäologen detaillierte Einblicke in selbst subtile Strukturen der materiellen Hinterlassenschaft geben. Die luftbildarchäologische Detailinterpretation von Carnuntum zeigt in aller Deutlichkeit, was allein mit dieser Methode erreichbar ist. Die detaillierten Pläne zeigen eine sich über große Flächen erstreckende detaillierte archäologische Landschaft und bilden eine Grundlage für sämtliche weiteren archäologischen und denkmalpflegerischen Arbeiten in diesem Raum. Archäologische Fragestellungen, aber auch Untersuchungen zu Erhaltung, Bedeutung und Notwendigkeit einer Unterschutzstellung können auf dieser Basis erstmals aufgrund sichtbarer Strukturen durchgeführt werden. Luftbildarchäologie nur für die Auffindung von Fundstellen einzusetzen, würde ihre Bedeutung verkennen. Ein Ignorieren ihres Potenzials bei der detaillierten Kartierung der archäologischen Strukturen ist ein freiwilliger Informationsverzicht, welchen sich die Archäologie nicht leisten kann

    Abstract: Alors que les femmes ont toujours constitué une part importante des flux d’immigration en France, la dimension sexuée du phénomène a été très peu étudiée par les historiens. L’entre-deux-guerres, période exceptionnelle d’immigration, méritait qu’on s’y intéresse. Comment représente-t-on les hommes et les femmes immigrants ? L’immigration des femmes est-elle envisagée différemment de celle des hommes ? La France a-t-elle besoin d’une immigration féminine ? Le genre de l’étranger joue-t-il sur son droit au séjour et au travail ? L’accès à la nationalité française est-il équivalent pour les hommes et les femmes étrangers ? Par l’étude de milliers de dossiers et de sources diverses et originales, l’auteure, qui travaille avec bonheur les jeux d’échelles - du national au local à travers l’exemple marseillais -, analyse avec finesse des représentations, des politiques, des parcours et des pratiques administratives. Remarquable contribution au savoir sur les migrations dans une perspective genrée, ce livre démontre plus largement qu’une analyse intégrant le genre est incontournable pour mieux comprendre la construction des États-nations et des citoyennetés

    Abstract: How the maternal image of the empress Julia Domna helped the Roman empire rule.Ancient authors emphasize dramatic moments in the life of Julia Domna, wife of Roman emperor Septimius Severus (193-211). They accuse her of ambition unforgivable in a woman, of instigating civil war to place her sons on the throne, and of resorting to incest to maintain her hold on power. In imperial propaganda, however, Julia Domna was honored with unprecedented titles that celebrated her maternity, whether it was in the role of mother to her two sons (both future emperors) or as the metaphorical mother to the empire. Imperial propaganda even equated her to the great mother goddess, Cybele, endowing her with a public prominence well beyond that of earlier imperial women. Her visage could be found gracing everything from state-commissioned art to privately owned ivory dolls. In Maternal Megalomania, Julie Langford unmasks the maternal titles and honors of Julia Domna as a campaign on the part of the administration to garner support for Severus and his sons. Langford looks to numismatic, literary, and archaeological evidence to reconstruct the propaganda surrounding the empress. She explores how her image was tailored toward different populations, including the military, the Senate, and the people of Rome, and how these populations responded to propaganda about the empress. She employs Julia Domna as a case study to explore the creation of ideology between the emperor and its subjects

    Abstract: The work analyses the complex relationship between mental illnesses and curative medicine in the writings of E.T.A. Hoffmann, highlighting problems deriving from unsuitable practices, and shedding light on the overwhelming, asymmetric relationship between doctor/patient, man/woman. The work analyses the doubling phenomena arising from the diaries, which Hoffmann overcame determined not to fall into madness; moreover, the author highlights Hofmmann's qualities as a man and a scholar, attentive to the limits of therapies, questioning doctors without understanding. The author summarises Hoffmann's ideas on the libertarian approach to illness, which includes the acceptance of the patient in their whole being, and presents his idea of therapy consisting of interpersonal dialogue and of listening to a story which reflects a similar case. The author also suggests the novelty of the "talking cure" method ante litteram, which was then successfully adopted by psychoanalysis: a method full of ideas, fruitful for literature, from Poe to Schnitzler, and for cinema, from Hitchcock to Kubrick

    Abstract: This volume springs from that fruitful project of scientific cooperation between the humanities departments of Università di Firenze and University of Arizona which was the Forum for the Study of the Literary Cultures of the Southwest (2000-2007). Tri-cultural, at least (Native, Hispanic and Anglo-American), and multi-lingual, today's Southwest presents a complex coexistence of different cultures, the equal of which would be hard to find elsewhere in the United States. Of this virtually inexhaustible object of study, the essays here collected tackle an ample range of themes. While the majority of them are concerned with the literatures of the Southwest, still a good third falls into the fields of history, art history, ethnography, sociology or cultural studies. They are partitioned in four sections, the first three reflecting the chronology of the stratification of the three major cultures and the fourth highlighting one of the most sensitive topics in and about contemporary Southwest - the borderlands/la frontera

    Abstract: It is a Sardinia out of time, on the threshold of history, the one emerging from the pages of Giuseppe Dessí's novels and short stories. But it is also a living Sardinia, full of the contradictions occurring in the landscape and in the vicissitudes of men. The profound relationship which bound Dessí to his land, nourishing his fiction, non-fiction and intellectual works, stands out noticeably in the correspondence collected in this volume. The unpublished letters, found in four different Italian archives, were transcribed and duly annotated by Giulio Vannucci. They tell about the birth and composition of a 1951 special issue of Pietro Calamandrei's «Il Ponte» dedicated to Sardinia, and reconstruct the genesis of the splendid anthology «Scoperta della Sardegna», issued in 1965 by Alberto Vigevani's publisher «Il Polifilo». In those two extraordinary books, the writer left the narrating voice to others for once. Within them, he built a different choral story of the island not only through the words of friends, but also through those of scholars, historians, politicians and many more. In the case of «Il Ponte», Dessí put himself at Calamandrei's service to find suitable collaborators and talk about post World War Two Sardinia, while choosing researchers who could trace a new and original guide for the cultural discovery of the island for «Il Polifilo». The correspondence goes over all of this, but also over culture in the Sixties and the dialogues and intellectual tensions accompanying Dessí in the writing of two works which, thanks to their anthropological and social acuity, still tell the modern reader of a 'vital home' that was his

    Abstract: Provides a new account of the emergence of Irish gothic fiction in mid-eighteenth century. This book provides a robustly theorised and thoroughly historicised account of the ‘beginnings’ of Irish gothic fiction, maps the theoretical terrain covered by other critics, and puts forward a new history of the emergence of the genre in Ireland. The main argument the book makes is that the Irish gothic should be read in the context of the split in Irish Anglican public opinion that opened in the 1750s, and seen as a fictional instrument of liberal Anglican opinion in a changing political landscape. By providing a fully historicized account of the beginnings of the genre in Ireland, the book also addresses the theoretical controversies that have bedevilled discussion of the Irish gothic in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The book gives ample space to the critical debate, and rigorously defends a reading of the Irish gothic as an Anglican, Patriot tradition. This reading demonstrates the connections between little-known Irish gothic fictions of the mid-eighteenth century (The Adventures of Miss Sophia Berkley and Longsword), and the Irish gothic tradition more generally, and also the gothic as a genre of global significance.Key Features* Examines gothic texts including Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Charles Robert Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer, (Anon), The Adventures of Miss Sophia Berkley and Thomas Leland's Longsword * Provides a rigorous and robust theory of the Irish Gothic * Reads early Irish gothic fully into the political context of mid-eighteenth century IrelandThis title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched

    Abstract: De Cicéron à Pétrarque, d'Érasme aux auteurs des livres pour secrétaires qui affluent sur le marché éditorial aux xvie et xviie siècles, l'écriture épistolaire ne cesse de se plier, sous la plume des écrivains, à de nouvelles exigences d'expression littéraire, entre tradition et modernité. Accédant au statut de genre littéraire, portée par l'élan humaniste et le classicisme de la Renaissance, la lettre finit par acquérir définitivement une valeur exemplaire pour propose des modèles de style, de langue, tout en contribuant à façonner les formes du vivre ensemble et les représentations de l'homme en société. Les études réunies dans ce volume collectif offrent une analyse approfondie de la notion d'exemplarité appliquée à la littérature épistolaire de la première époque moderne. Il s'agit d'une forme littéraire sur laquelle les études sur l'exemplarité ont fait l'impasse, pour privilégier le domaine de la nouvelle, du roman ou de l'écriture autobiographique. Quelles sont les stratégies qui président à la construction de l'exemplarité épistolaire ? Les auteurs et les ouvrages considérés dans ce volume recouvrent le territoire de la République des Lettres, incluant l'Italie, la France, l'Espagne, sans oublier l'apport d'un penseur cosmopolite comme Érasme. Dans cette perspective interdisciplinaire, les approches de la notion d'exemplarité sont multiples : elles permettent de suivre l'émergence de figures du « je » épistolaire qui se veulent exemplaires car elles proposent des paradigmes de vie fondés sur des valeurs intellectuelles, philosophiques, spirituelles, etc. Elles soulignent aussi l'importance des réseaux de correspondance et des modèles de sociabilité, sans négliger enfin la dimension pédagogique propre à l'enseignement scolaire de l'art de la lettre et aux manuels. Lieu de négociation et de partage, la lettre n'a-t-elle pas réinventé les formes de l'exemplarité ?

    Abstract: The Spanish civil war is considered a key point of analysis of the first half of the 1900s because of the peculiar context in which it developed, the ideologies that provoked it and for the controversies that still accompany it. An event of this magnitude has had and continues to have a great resonance in literature; this essay compares two authors at the antipodes, which well summarize the socio-political debate that accompanies the theme: José María Gironella, author close to the regime, and Juan Benet, hermetic writer. The contrast between the motivations and objectives of the two writers is accompanied by incompatible narrative choices. With memory as both a judge and a defendant, the authors open two different paths of communication with the reader: from history to man, from man to history

    Abstract: A private and distant Sardinia animates the texts of this double correspondence, between archaic landscapes and personal and literary mythologies, in which Ferrara, the town of the authors' youthful years, is occasionally mentioned, with its richness of life, magazines (Bottai's «Primato», «Corriere Padano» with Bassani...), evening meetings in taverns or rented rooms, walks along the Rampari river, and the use of playful nicknames which would continue even after youth ended. A world made of concrete things, animated and enlivened by strong intellectual curiosities and passions, emerges from the letters reconstructing the life and history of Giuseppe Dessí, Mario Pinna and Claudio Varese, which have been carefully transcribed and annotated by Costanza Chimirri. The correspondence opens with the years spent in Ferrara - after Pisa, a crucial moment for their education - and allows the author to reconstruct atmospheres and environments, readings and work, offering a significant cross-section of twentieth-century Italy from within. The letters are never disconnected from one another, but rather united by the continuous call to the triple friendship in the name of Giuseppe Dessí, who is always present in the others' speeches even when he is not actually mentioned. The correspondence also allowed to bring to light unpublished texts by the most secluded member of the group (Mario Pinna, an avid reader of the classics, Spanish specialist, author of poems in the dialect of Logudoro and of short stories set in Sardinia), to strengthen the role that has always been played by the eldest, Claudio Varese, the maître-camarade; and to confirm once again how much Dessí's creative universe, deeply marked by the biographical element, has continued to develop and feed under the wise and affectionate gaze of fraternal friends, in an exchange which can give life to an actual collective imagination

    Abstract: Karl Philipp Moritz (d. 1793) was one of the most innovative writers of the late Enlightenment in Germany. A novelist, travel writer, editor, and teacher he is probably best known today for his autobiographical novel Anton Reiser (1785–90) and for his treatises on aesthetics, foremost among them Über die bildende Nachahmung des Schönen (On the Formative Imitation of the Beautiful) (1788). In this treatise, Moritz develops the concept of aesthetic autonomy, which became widely known after Goethe included a lengthy excerpt of it in his own Italian Journey (1816–17). It was one of the foundational texts of Weimar classicism, and it became pivotal for the development of early Romanticism. In The Topography of Modernity, Elliott Schreiber gives Moritz the credit he deserves as an important thinker beyond his contributions to aesthetic theory. Indeed, he sees Moritz as an incisive early observer and theorist of modernity. Considering a wide range of Moritz’s work including his novels, his writings on mythology, prosody, and pedagogy, and his political philosophy and psychology, Schreiber shows how Moritz’s thinking developed in response to the intellectual climate of the Enlightenment and paved the way for later social theorists to conceive of modern society as differentiated into multiple, competing value spheres
