Download or read book The Politics of Memory written by Raingard Esser and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-02-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eighty Years’ War and the establishment of two states in the Low Countries inaugurated the publication of numerous texts to support a distinct Northern and Southern identity. This study analyses urban and regional chorographies written both in the North and in the South in the seventeenth century. It examines different strategies that chorographers developed to make sense of the recent and more remote past. It also looks at the development of different historiographical traditions in the Protestant North and the Catholic South and thus contributes to the current research interest in the history of historiography, cultures of memory and identity formation.

Book Aux origines de l identit   urbaine en Europe Centrale et Nordique

Download or read book Aux origines de l identit urbaine en Europe Centrale et Nordique written by Sébastien Rossignol and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y a-t-il eu des villes dans les territoires de l'Europe situés à l'extérieur des anciennes provinces romaines avant l'essor démographique et économique du Moyen Âge central? Bien que cette question ait préoccupé de nombreuses générations de chercheurs, les réponses proposées sont restées ambiguës. Cette étude reprend le dossier en abordant le problème du point de vue des auteurs médiévaux: avait-on, lors des siècles précédant les transformations accompagnant la fondation de villes nouvelles aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles, une conception d'un habitat urbain, distinct d'un habitat rural? Avait-on conscience d'une spécificité, d'une identité urbaine? Les recherches archéologiques des dernières décennies en Europe centrale et nordique permettent une nouvelle considération des formes d'habitat du haut Moyen Âge.

Book Urban Elite Culture

  • Author : Luisa Radohs
  • Publisher : Böhlau Köln
  • Release : 2023-10-09
  • ISBN : 3412528617
  • Pages : 693 pages

Download or read book Urban Elite Culture written by Luisa Radohs and published by Böhlau Köln. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval towns were vibrant and complex social environments where diverse groups and lifestyles encountered and influenced each other. Surprisingly, in the study of urban archaeology, the aristocracy, one of the leading and most influential groups in medieval society, has so far been neglected. This book puts "aristocracy in towns" on the archaeological research agenda. The interdisciplinary and comparative study explores the significance and representation of aristocrats and their interaction with civic elites in sea-trading towns of the southwestern Baltic from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Essentially, however, the analysis of urban elite culture leads to discussion of a much more fundamental issue: the informative value of material culture for the investigation of social conditions. The book provides new archaeological approaches to the study of social differentiation in towns, and contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity of urban social structures.

Book Die wahrhaft k  nigliche Stadt

Download or read book Die wahrhaft k nigliche Stadt written by Daniela Kah and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English In Eine wahrhaft königliche Stadt, Daniela Kah describes how contemporary residents and visitors were able to experience and perceive the presence of the Holy Roman Empire (or its representatives, e.g., the king) in three late medieval cities -- Augsburg, Nürnberg and Lübeck. After receiving privileges from the king, these cities initiated large construction projects designed to assert their imperial status. These projects had a major impact on everyday life and made the Empire visible and graspable within the city. However, in the 13th century the cities increasingly deployed symbols and signs to represent their self-understanding as 'imperial'. ‘Being immediate to the Empire’ or ‘being privileged’ provided important political, economic, and social benefits. Therefore it became very important to the cities to represent their status in visible form. For this reason, the Empire achieved a permanent and lasting presence in free imperial cities. Deutsch In Eine wahrhaft königliche Stadt beschreibt Daniela Kah, wie das mittelalterliche Reich oder seine Repräsentanten, wie zum Beispiel der König, in den Reichsstädten Augsburg, Nürnberg und Lübeck für die zeitgenössischen Bewohner und Besucher erfahrbar war und wahrgenommen wurde. Zunächst führte die Vergabe von königlichen Privilegien zu großangelegten repräsentativen Bauprojekten in den Städten, die das Reich so im städtischen Alltag erkennbar werden ließen. Ab dem 13. Jahrhundert kam es dazu, dass die Stäte vermehrt Symbole und Zeichen im Stadtraum anbrachten, die ihr Selbstverständnis visualieren. Der Status ‚unmittelbar dem Reich zugehörig“ beziehungsweise ‚vom Reich privilegiert’ zu sein, wurde aufgrund seiner politischen, wirtschaftlichen und prestigesteigernden Bedeutung ein wichtiger Bezugspunkt, der zur dauerhaften Präsenz des Reichs in den Reichsstädten führte.

Book La ville moderne XVIe  XVIIIe si  cle   Histoire de l Europe urbaine

Download or read book La ville moderne XVIe XVIIIe si cle Histoire de l Europe urbaine written by Olivier Zeller and published by Média Diffusion. This book was released on 2019-07-25T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La ville moderne Les trois siècles de la modernité européenne ont été marqués par l'évolution en profondeur de l'urbanisation. Alors que s'affirme irrésistiblement la croissance démographique des capitales dans le contexte du développement des grands États modernes, l'évolution des transports et des modes de relation contribue à mettre en place une multitude de nouveaux réseaux qui renforcent les interdépendances. Les systèmes sociopolitiques hérités de la fin du Moyen Âge tendent à s'affaiblir devant la montée en puissance des pouvoirs centraux. Tandis que de nouvelles formes de ségrégation géographique apparaissent, éclatent des conflits organisés qui permettent au peuple des villes de remettre en question le pouvoir des élites. Perdure néanmoins l'étonnante diversité du phénomène urbain à travers l'Europe. Pour une large part, la Révolution industrielle devra composer avec cet héritage. Olivier Zeller Professeur des Universités, il enseigne l'histoire moderne à l'université Lumière-Lyon II. Ce volume est la reprise du livre 3 de l' Histoire de l'Europe urbaine I publiée en 2003 aux Éditions du Seuil.

Book Die Bildlichkeit korporativer Siegel im Mittelalter

Download or read book Die Bildlichkeit korporativer Siegel im Mittelalter written by Saskia Hennig von Lange and published by Böhlau Verlag Köln Weimar. This book was released on 2009 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obwohl das Siegel ein verbreitetes Bildmedium im europäischen Mittelalter war, ist es lange ausschließlich als Rechtszeichen wahrgenommen worden und folglich eine Quelle der Geschichtswissenschaft geblieben. Der Kunstgeschichte, die dem Siegel trotz seiner reichen Ikonographie und seiner aufwändigen kleinplastischen Gestaltung bislang wenig Interesse entgegengebracht hat, bieten sich durch bildwissenschaftliche Impulse jedoch neue Ansätze. Die hier versammelten Beiträge aus beiden Disziplinen gehen am Beispiel der korporativen Siegel des Spätmittelalters der Frage nach, welche Bilder eine vielgliedrige Gruppe für ihre spezifische Identität fand und wie sich dabei mit den Traditionen des Mediums auseinandersetzte.
