Visions of Medieval History in North America and Europe
Author: Courtney M. Booker
Publisher:
ISBN: 9782503596280
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 475
Book Description
In this volume, scholars from North America and Europe explore the intersection of medieval identity with ethnicity, religion, power, law, inheritance, texts, and memory. They offer new historiographical interventions into questions of identity, but also of ethnonyms, conflict studies, the feudal revolution, gender and kinship studies, and local history. Employing interdisciplinary approaches and textual hermeneutics, the authors represent an international scholarly community characterized by intellectual restlessness, historiographical experimentation, and defiance of convention.

Progress of Medieval Studies in the United States of America
From Martyr to Monument
Author: Janet Marquardt
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
After the French Revolution and the dissolution of the monastic orders, the great Abbey of Cluny in France was closed and the buildings were sold for materials. This process went on for nearly thirty years, just as a romantic appreciation of the medieval past was gaining popularity. Although the government was unable to halt most of the demolition work, one transept arm with a large and small tower was saved from ruin, along with a few small Gothic buildings and the eighteenth-century cloister. Efforts to preserve, repair, and reuse the remains waxed and waned for a century while historians wrote with regret about the abbeyâ (TM)s demise. In 1927, Kenneth Conant came from Harvard to excavate the site with American funding in order to prepare full-scale reconstructive drawings of the abbey. Conantâ (TM)s vision of medieval Cluny entered the art-historical canon and placed Cluny at the center of debates about Romanesque architecture and sculptural decoration in Europe. This study follows the discursive history of the site while investigating the role of memory in the construction of the past and the development of the conception of heritage and patrimony in France. FOREWORD BY GILES CONSTABLE AND AVANT-PROPOS D'ERIC PALAZZO Marquardtâ (TM)s account of the modern resurrections of medieval Cluny is a riveting one. ...her research urges a rethinking of the modern conceptual structures that guide our study and interpretation of medieval art and culture. Marquardt meditat[es] on the complex ideas, histories, events, and touristic activities (including the performance of pageants) that contributed to the fashioning of Cluny as a â oememory site.â Kathryn L. Brush, University of Western Ontario (Canada)

Paradigms and Methods in Early Medieval Studies
Author: C. Chazelle
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137123052
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The articles in this volume, by scholars all pursuing careers in the United States, concern the theoretical approaches and methods of early medieval studies. Most of the issues examined span the period from roughly 400 to 1000 CE and regions stretching from westernmost Eurasia to the Black Sea and the Baltic. This is the first volume of essays explicitly to reassess the heuristic structures and methodologies of research on "early medieval Europe." Because of its geographic, chronological, thematic, and methodological diversity and scope, the collection also showcases the breadth of early medieval studies currently practiced in the United States.
