Book excerpt: « La chute de l’Empire romain en Occident au Ve siècle : rupture, décadence ou mutation complexe ? » Pour la puissance impériale, les barbares sont des peuples inférieurs, à conquérir puis à intégrer. En Orient, le pouvoir romain doit défendre son territoire face à l’Empire perse sassanide et aux migrations des peuples germaniques, liées à l’arrivée des Huns après 370. En Occident, la puissance déclinante de Rome ne peut plus espérer détruire les supergroupes barbares (Wisigoths et Vandales) installés dans l’Empire. L’essor du christianisme permet un rapprochement entre Germains et Romains, et la création de royaume romano-barbare (Gaule, Hispanie, Afrique...) scelle définitivement le sort de l’Empire d’Occident après 460, tandis que l’Empire d’Orient perpétue l’idée impériale autour de Constantinople.

Book Atlas de Rome et des barbares

Download or read book Atlas de Rome et des barbares written by Hervé Inglebert and published by Editions Autrement. This book was released on 2009 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longtemps perçue comme une rupture et la conséquence d'une période de décadence, la chute de Rome face aux barbares à la fin du Ve siècle est en fait un long processus militaire, politique et social, original et complexe, et non un effondrement subit. Pour la puissance impériale, les barbares sont des peuples inférieurs, à conquérir puis à intégrer. Ils ne deviennent inquiétants que lorsqu'ils se mettent à attaquer l'Empire depuis l'extérieur au m' siècle. Devant la menace d'un ennemi plus puissant en Orient - l'empire perse sassanide - et face aux migrations des peuples germaniques, liées à l'arrivée des Huns après 370, le pouvoir romain doit déployer une énergie toujours plus grande, et plus coûteuse, en Occident ou en Orient, pour défendre son territoire. En Occident, au Ve siècle, la puissance déclinante de Rome ne peut plus espérer détruire les supergroupes barbares (Wisigoths, Vandales, Ostrogoths) installés dans l'Empire et dont les chefs deviennent de véritables acteurs du jeu politique romain. L'essor du christianisme, qui dépasse les limites de l'Empire et crée un commonwealth chrétien antique, permet également un rapprochement culturel entre Germains et Romains et la création de royaumes romano-barbares (Gaule, Hispanie, Afrique...) qui, après 460, scellent définitivement le sort de l'Empire d'Occident tandis que l'Empire d'Orient perpétue l'idée impériale autour de Constantinople. Plus de cent cartes et infographies pour décrypter la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident, l'un des éléments majeurs de la formation du monde européen ultérieur.

Book The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu

Download or read book The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu written by Maurice Joly and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joly's (1831-78) Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu is the major source of one of the world's most infamous and damaging forgeries, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. That, however, was concocted some two decades after he died, and American political scientist Waggoner points to Joly's own text for evidence that he was not anti-semitic and was an intransigent enemy of the kind of tyranny the forgery served during the 1930s. He translates the text and discusses Joly's intentions in writing it and his contribution to the understanding of modern politics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

  • Author : Martin S. Staum
  • Publisher : McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
  • Release : 1996-10-17
  • ISBN : 0773566244
  • Pages : 359 pages

Download or read book Minerva s Message written by Martin S. Staum and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1996-10-17 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In theory the CMPS was set up to enshrine the human and social studies that were at the heart of Enlightenment culture. Staum illustrates, however, that the Institute helped transform key ideas of the Enlightenment in order to maintain civil rights while upholding social stability, and that the social and political assumptions on which it was based affected notions of social science. He traces the careers of individual members and the factions within the Institute, arguing that the discord within the CMPS reflects the unravelling of Enlightenment culture. Minerva's Message presents a valuable overview of the intellectual life of the period and brings together new evidence about the social sciences in their nascent period.

Book Historical journey in a linguistic archipelago

Download or read book Historical journey in a linguistic archipelago written by Émilie Aussant and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a selection of papers presented during the 14th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS XIV, Paris, 2017). Part I brings together studies dealing with descriptive concepts. First examined is the notion of “accidens” in Latin grammar and its Greek counterparts. Other papers address questions with a strong echo in today’s linguistics: localism and its revival in recent semantics and syntax, the origin of the term “polysemy” and its adoption through Bréal, and the difficulties attending the description of prefabs, idioms and other “fixed expressions”. This first part also includes studies dealing with representations of linguistic phenomena, whether these concern the treatment of local varieties (so-called patois) in French research, or the import and epistemological function of spatial representations in descriptions of linguistic time. Or again, now taking the word “representation” literally, the visual display of grammatical relations, in the form of the first syntactic diagrams. Part II presents case studies which involve wider concerns, of a social nature: the “from below” approach to the history of Chinese Pidgin English underlines the social roles of speakers and the diversity of speech situations, while the scrutiny of Lhomond’s Latin and French textbooks demonstrates the interplay of pedagogical practice, cross-linguistic comparison and descriptive innovation. An overview of early descriptions of Central Australian languages reveals a whole spectrum of humanist to positivist and antihumanist stances during the colonial age. An overarching framework is also at play in the anthropological perspective championed by Meillet, whose socially and culturally oriented semantics is shown to live on in Benveniste. The volume ends with a paper on Trần Đức Thảo, whose work is an original synthesis between phenomenology and Marxist semiology, wielded against the “idealistic” doctrine of Saussure.

Book The Greeks and the Irrational

Download or read book The Greeks and the Irrational written by Eric R. Dodds and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this philosophy classic, which was first published in 1951, E. R. Dodds takes on the traditional view of Greek culture as a triumph of rationalism. Using the analytical tools of modern anthropology and psychology, Dodds asks, "Why should we attribute to the ancient Greeks an immunity from 'primitive' modes of thought which we do not find in any society open to our direct observation?" Praised by reviewers as "an event in modern Greek scholarship" and "a book which it would be difficult to over-praise," The Greeks and the Irrational was Volume 25 of the Sather Classical Lectures series.
