Book Description
La 4ème de couverture indique "Les actes de ces journées d'étude à Amiens et Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme font suite à deux autres volumes d'actes de colloques (2015 et 2016) sur l'histoire de l'étruscologie au XXe siècle dans le cadre d'un programme promu et financé à partir de 2011 par l'Institut Universitaire de France. L'objectif de ce programme consistait à étudier comment les Étrusques sont devenus un objet d'étude autonome et unitaire au moment de la construction des nations européennes. Ce troisième volume complète le parcours chronologique par l'étude de la période qui suit la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'équipe de chercheurs, réunie du 14 au 16 septembre 2015, s'est demandée si la chute du fascisme en Italie et du nazisme en Allemagne avait mis fin à la période de crise à laquelle a dû faire face l'étruscologie au moment de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et si elle avait inauguré une nouvelle période pour les études sur les Étrusques. En clair, l'Europe politique a-t-elle donné un élan aux études sur les Étrusques ou les étruscologues ont-ils d'eux-mêmes cherché en Europe un renouveau qu'ils ne trouvaient pas dans leur seul pays ? La question revient à se demander dans quelle mesure les étruscologues ont adhéré à ces valeurs européennes et dans quelle mesure ils s'en ont servi de filtre pour orienter leurs études. On étudie ainsi quel a été le rêve européen des étruscologues d'après-guerre, comment il a influencé la question des origines des Etrusques et comment il a rendu les Etrusques populaires, et çomment il s'est heurté aux réalités d'une Europe divisée."

Modern Etruscans
Author: Chiara Zampieri
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9462703795
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
“L’Étrurie est à la mode”, French archaeologist Salomon Reinach bluntly stated in 1927. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, Etruria had not only been attracting the attention of archaeologists and specialists of all sorts, but it had also been a fascinating and, in some cases, captivating destination for poets, novelists, painters and sculptors from all over Europe. This volume deals with the impact of the constantly expanding knowledge on the Etruscans and their mysterious civilisation on Italian, French, English, and German literature, arts and culture, with particular regard to the modernist period (1890–1950). The volume brings a distinctive point of view to the subject by approaching it from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, and by looking at a quite diverse range of topics and artefacts, which includes, but is not limited to, the study of drawings, art works, travel essays, novels, cooking recipes, schoolbooks, photographs, and movies. By exploring a new paradigm to understand ancient cultures, beyond the traditional ideas and models of “reception of the classics”, and by challenging the alleged fracture between the so-called “two cultures” of humanities and natural sciences, Modern Etruscans will be of interest to scholars from various disciplines. Designed as a learning tool for university courses on the interplay between literature and science in the twentieth century, it is suited as recommended reading for students in the humanities.

After Kant
Author: Michael Sonenscher
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691245649
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
Tracing the origins of modern political thought through three sets of arguments over history, morality, and freedom In this wide-ranging work, Michael Sonenscher traces the origins of modern political thought and ideologies to a question, raised by Immanuel Kant, about what is involved in comparing individual human lives to the whole of human history. How can we compare them, or understand the results of the comparison? Kant’s question injected a new, future-oriented dimension into existing discussions of prevailing norms, challenging their orientation toward the past. This reversal made Kant’s question a bridge between three successive sets of arguments: between the supporters of the ancients and moderns, the classics and romantics, and the Romans and the Germans. Sonenscher argues that the genealogy of modern political ideologies—from liberalism to nationalism to communism—can be connected to the resulting discussions of time, history, and values, mainly in France but also in Germany, Switzerland, and Britain, in the period straddling the French and Industrial revolutions. What is the genuinely human content of human history? Everything begins somewhere—democracy with the Greeks, or the idea of a res publica with the Romans—but these local arrangements have become vectors of values that are, apparently, universal. The intellectual upheaval that Sonenscher describes involved a struggle to close the gap, highlighted by Kant, between individual lives and human history. After Kant is an examination of that struggle’s enduring impact on the history and the historiography of political thought.

Alibis of Empire
Author: Karuna Mantena
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691128162
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Alibis of Empire presents a novel account of the origins, substance, and afterlife of late imperial ideology. Karuna Mantena challenges the idea that Victorian empire was primarily legitimated by liberal notions of progress and civilization. In fact, as the British Empire gained its farthest reach, its ideology was being dramatically transformed by a self-conscious rejection of the liberal model. The collapse of liberal imperialism enabled a new culturalism that stressed the dangers and difficulties of trying to "civilize" native peoples. And, hand in hand with this shift in thinking was a shift in practice toward models of indirect rule. As Mantena shows, the work of Victorian legal scholar Henry Maine was at the center of these momentous changes. Alibis of Empire examines how Maine's sociotheoretic model of "traditional" society laid the groundwork for the culturalist logic of late empire. In charting the movement from liberal idealism, through culturalist explanation, to retroactive alibi within nineteenth-century British imperial ideology, Alibis of Empire unearths a striking and pervasive dynamic of modern empire.

The Etruscan World
Author: Jean MacIntosh Turfa
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134055234
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1216
Book Description
The Etruscans can be shown to have made significant, and in some cases perhaps the first, technical advances in the central and northern Mediterranean. To the Etruscan people we can attribute such developments as the tie-beam truss in large wooden structures, surveying and engineering drainage and water tunnels, the development of the foresail for fast long-distance sailing vessels, fine techniques of metal production and other pyrotechnology, post-mortem C-sections in medicine, and more. In art, many technical and iconographic developments, although they certainly happened first in Greece or the Near East, are first seen in extant Etruscan works, preserved in the lavish tombs and goods of Etruscan aristocrats. These include early portraiture, the first full-length painted portrait, the first perspective view of a human figure in monumental art, specialized techniques of bronze-casting, and reduction-fired pottery (the bucchero phenomenon). Etruscan contacts, through trade, treaty and intermarriage, linked their culture with Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily, with the Italic tribes of the peninsula, and with the Near Eastern kingdoms, Greece and the Greek colonial world, Iberia, Gaul and the Punic network of North Africa, and influenced the cultures of northern Europe. In the past fifteen years striking advances have been made in scholarship and research techniques for Etruscan Studies. Archaeological and scientific discoveries have changed our picture of the Etruscans and furnished us with new, specialized information. Thanks to the work of dozens of international scholars, it is now possible to discuss topics of interest that could never before be researched, such as Etruscan mining and metallurgy, textile production, foods and agriculture. In this volume, over 60 experts provide insights into all these aspects of Etruscan culture, and more, with many contributions available in English for the first time to allow the reader access to research that may not otherwise be available to them. Lavishly illustrated, The Etruscan World brings to life the culture and material past of the Etruscans and highlights key points of development in research, making it essential reading for researchers, academics and students of this fascinating civilization.
