Download or read book Representing the Sporting Past in Museums and Halls of Fame written by Murray G. Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a "museum age," and sport museums are part of this phenomenon. In this book, leading international sport history scholars examine sport museums including renowned institutions like the Olympic Museum in the Swiss city of Lausanne, the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum in Baltimore, the Marylebone Cricket Club Museum in London, the Croke Park Museum in Dublin, and the Whyte Museum in Banff. These institutions are examined in a broad context of understanding sport museums as an identifiable genre in the "museum age", and more specifically in terms of how the sporting past is represented in these museums. Historians explain, debate and critique sport museums with the intention of understanding how this important form of public history represents sport for audiences who see museums as institutions that are inherently reliable and trustworthy.

Book excerpt: The 17th congress of the Association Internationale pour l'Histoire du Verre (AIHV), held in Antwerp, Belgium from 4 to 8 September 2006, brought together scholars from all over the world specialized in the history of glass. AIHV is an international organisation whose membership spans the globe, from Los Angeles to Tokyo and from Helsinki to Adelaide. Since its creation 50 years ago, AIHV members have studied and reported on the extraordinary development of glass in all historical periods in the Annales of the AIHV. Next to containing numerous contributions on the use, manufacture and trade of glass in the Antique period, also the importance of glass in more recent historical periods, starting from the 15th century and ending in the 21st century, are dealt with in detail. Additionally, apart from contributions on stained glass, on glass decoration and the use of enamelling, a substantial series of papers dealing with the chemical analysis of glass form part of this proceedings volume. --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Sherds of History written by Myriam Arcangeli and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ceramics serve as one of the best-known artifacts excavated by archaeologists. They are carefully described, classified, and dated, but rarely do scholars consider their many and varied uses. Breaking from this convention, Myriam Arcangeli examines potsherds from four colonial sites in the Antillean island of Guadeloupe to discover what these everyday items tell us about the people who used them. In the process, she reveals a wealth of information about the lives of the elite planters, the middle and lower classes, and enslaved Africans. By analyzing how the people of Guadeloupe used ceramics—whether jugs for transporting and purifying water, pots for cooking, or pearlware for eating—Arcangeli spotlights the larger social history of Creole life. What emerges is a detail rich picture of water consumption habits, changing foodways, and concepts of health. Sherds of History offers a compelling and novel study of the material record and the “ceramic culture” it represents to broaden our understanding of race, class, and gender in French-colonial societies in the Caribbean and the United States. Arcangeli’s innovative interpretation of the material record will challenge the ways archaeologists analyze ceramics.

Download or read book Le Roi le Marchand et le Sel written by Jean-Claude Hocquet and published by Presses Univ. Septentrion. This book was released on 1987 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le roi, le marchand et le sel présente les Actes d'une table ronde réunies en septembre 1986 dans la saline royale édifiée par Ledoux à Arc-et-Senans. L'analyse de la genèse de l'État moderne, de la fonction de la guerre et du rôle dévolu à l'impôt du sel dans la construction de ses finances ouvre la voie à de belles études. Les précurseurs ont été les communes marchandes italiennes, les royaumes espagnols et la Provence du frère de Saint Louis. C'est pourtant dans le royaume de France des Valois et des Bourbons que la gabelle du sel s'est affirmé avec le plus de force, provoquant à la fois l'enrichissement des fermiers, les colères populaires et une contrebande éffrénée. Dans l'empire, les villes qui disposaient du monopole de production masquaient l'impôt sous le profit commercial. Ce profit consolida les finances et le pouvoir des ducs d'Autriche et les Habsbourg finirent par conquêrir les mines de Pologne. Il contribua aussi à la puissance commerciale des Provinces-Unies aux 16e et 17e siècles. L'impôt du sel n'a pas été seulement un phénomène européen mais mondial. Il n'est pas lié à un type d'État ni de formation économique et sociale. On suit sa destinée depuis la Rome antique jusqu'au Japon d'aujourd'hui, en passant par l'Amérique hispanique et l'Afrique noire colonisée, la Chine et l'Inde anglaise, où Gandhi s'empara de la question du sel pour en faire une arme de libération nationale contre la domination britannique. Le sel se prêtait à ce prélèvement fiscal massif qui nous rappelle que dans de nombreuses sociétés il avait assumé, dans l'échange marchand, toutes les fonctions sociales d'une monnaie.
Download or read book Ireland and France 17th 20th Centuries written by Louis M. Cullen and published by Editions de l'École des hautes études en sciences sociales. This book was released on 1980 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first attempt at a comparative study of Franco-Irish rural history has brought together the best specialists in two countries where history has long remained deeply linked to the life of peasant communities, solid, numerous, unyielding and as unmenable to control by landlords as they were obedient to the Catholic Church. Both these European peasant societies, while being similarly subject to the constraints of available space or arable land did not evolve either at the same rate or in the same way. In comparing overall population, the type and size of farms, the modes of social reproduction and inheritance, the historical tissue of two societies with long standing peasant backgrounds has been brought forth. Thus two counties with two agricultures show different answers to problems that are often the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre aborde la genèse et le développement des médias selon une perspective historique et traite de la culture télévisuelle spécifique des chaînes terrestres britanniques. L'auteur s'est attaché à mettre en évidence les enjeux liés à la naissance de la radio puis de la télévision, dans la société en pleine mutation qu'est le Royaume-Uni du XXe siècle. Elle s'efforce aussi à présenter les mécanismes, les procédures de contrôle, la déontologie qui sous-tendent le fonctionnement de l'audiovisuel et orientent les choix des émissions et films retenus : ces choix trahissent les modes de penser, les goûts et les préoccupations de chaque période. Le manuel de Renée Dickason rendra les plus grands services aux étudiants d'anglais, mais aussi, sans doute, aux praticiens de l'information et de la communication. -4e de couv.
