Book excerpt: Les villes meurent, les villes sont malades mais elles peuvent aussi guérir.00Le dixième anniversaire de la revue 'Semitica & classica' a donné lieu, à Paris, les 18 et 19?octobre 2017, à un colloque international sur le thème de la reconstruction des villes en Méditerranée du troisième millénaire avant notre ère au Moyen Âge.00Archéologues, philologues, historiens, historiens de l?art et épigraphistes y ont traité de la reconstruction des villes, tantôt d?un point de vue général, tantôt à partir d?études de cas, dont Mari, Ougarit, Sélinonte, Athènes, Milet, Rome, Jérusalem, Antioche, Hermopolis, Byzance, Gaza ou Alep.00Issu de ce colloque, le présent volume, s?appuyant sur les sources antiques, textes ou vestiges archéologiques, étudie les rapports entre destruction et reconstruction, qu?elles soient le fait des habitants eux-mêmes ou de l?envahisseur, que la destruction soit un fait de guerre, une catastrophe naturelle ou qu?il s?agisse, dans un cas comme dans l?autre, d?une volonté de rénovation partielle ou totale.00Les modes de destruction d?une ville, tout ou partie, et les modalités de reconstruction, remplois architecturaux, formes de restauration et de rénovation sont appréhendés à l?aide des données archéologiques et des récits antiques, comme autant de souvenirs de ces illustres cités, témoignages de ce qu?elles furent réellement, mais aussi parfois récits littéraires et reconstructions fictives du passé.

Book Destruction and Reconstruction of Towns   Destruction by the Lord s power  internal troubles and wars  anglais

Download or read book Destruction and Reconstruction of Towns Destruction by the Lord s power internal troubles and wars anglais written by Martin Körner and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kriege, soziale und politische Unruhen und Revolutionen, Macht- und Modernisierungsbestrebungen lokaler und staatlicher Herrschaften haben seit der Antike immer wieder die Zerstörung ganzer Städte oder Stadtteile zur Folge gehabt. In Polen, Serbien und Rumänien, aber auch in Südwestfrankreich oder Irland verursachten Einfälle fremder Aggressoren im Mittelalter und in der frühen Neuzeit schwerste Verwüstungen, sie brachten aber auch wirtschaftliche Rückschläge und viel menschliches Leid. Eine völlig neue Dimension kriegerischer Stadtzerstörung und anschliessenden Wiederaufbaus schuf die moderne Kriegführung des Zweiten Weltkrieges, was sich an zahlreichen Beispielen aus Deutschland, Frankreich, Grossbritannien, Finnland, Holland und Luxemburg eindrücklich belegen lässt. Die Zusammenhänge zwischen stadtinternen Konflikten und stadtzerstörerischen Strafaktionen der Stadtherren werden für mittelalterliche und frühneuzeitlichen Städte in der Lombardei, der Schweiz, in Polen, Dänemark und den Niederlanden untersucht. Zudem finden sich auch Beispiele zu stadtplanerischen Modernisierungen ohne primär kriegerischen Hintergrund, wie etwa die Umgestaltung von Paris nach den Plänen Eugène Haussmanns. Die Beiträge dieser Sammlung stammen von international anerkannten Fachleuten. Sie ergänzen die Ergebnisse des bereits erschienenen Bandes über Stadtzerstörungen durch natürliche Extremereignisse.

Download or read book Renaissance Mass Murder written by Stephen D. Bowd and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance Mass Murder explores the devastating impact of war on the men and women of the Renaissance. In contrast to the picture of balance and harmony usually associated with the Renaissance, it uncovers in forensic detail a world in which sacks of Italian cities and massacres of civilians at the hands of French, German, Spanish, Swiss, and Italian troops were regular occurrences. The arguments presented are based on a wealth of evidence - histories and chronicles, poetry and paintings, sculpture and other objects - which together provide a new and startling history of sixteenth-century Italy and a social history of the Italian Wars. It outlines how massacres happened, how princes, soldiers, lawyers, and writers justified and explained such events, and how they were represented in contemporary culture. On this basis, Renaissance Mass Murder reconstructs the terrifying individual experiences of civilians in the face of war and in doing so offers a story of human tragedy which redresses the balance of the history of the Italian Wars, and of Renaissance warfare, in favour of the civilian and away from the din of battle. This volume also places mass murder in a broader historical context and challenges claims that such violence was unusual or in decline in early modern Europe. Finally, it shows that women often suffered disproportionately from this violence and that immunity for them, as for their children, was often partially developed or poorly respected.

Book Pre modern Towns at the Times of Catastrophes

Download or read book Pre modern Towns at the Times of Catastrophes written by Michaela Antonín Malaníková and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering areas in today’s Ukraine, Poland, Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, and Slovakia, this book studies the impact of both natural and human-inflicted disasters on pre-modern towns. Various kinds of catastrophes, starting with major natural disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, and epidemics caused high population mortality. Others, such as protracted war conflicts, were caused by human activity and could be just as, if not more, destructive for cities, their populations and the urban economy. Crises affected not only the population as a whole, but also townsmen and women in their individual lives. Case studies of renewal and resilience in the volume illustrate that, in many cases, successfully overcoming disaster brought positive changes for urban people. The collection presents analytical research anchored in the contemporary historiographical discourse on studying social and cultural relations in urban environments in the Middle Ages and early modern period, and it incorporates interdisciplinary approaches in the forms of geography, archaeology, and literary theory. This volume is an engaging resource for students and researchers of pre-modern history, social history, and disaster studies.

Book La Reconstruction en Europe Apr  s la Premi  re Et la Seconde Guerre Mondiale Et Le R  le de la Conservation Des Monuments Historiques

Download or read book La Reconstruction en Europe Apr s la Premi re Et la Seconde Guerre Mondiale Et Le R le de la Conservation Des Monuments Historiques written by Nicholas Bullock and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with History focuses on a particular aspect of heritage preservation in the twentieth century: destruction and postwar reconstruction in Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, and The Netherlands. This book establishes a status quaestionis for the historiography of wartime and postwar preservation, and sets these particular developments in preservation history in the context of the general evolution of architecture and urbanism. The authors investigate the specific role of conservationists and heritage institutions and administrations in the overall reconstruction and examine the part played by architects and planners in heritage preservation.

Book Reading the Reformations

Book excerpt: "In the last thirty years, understandings of the European reformations have been transformed. A generation of scholars has demonstrated how radically wide-ranging these movements were. Across family life, politics, material culture and philosophy, the reformations are now at the very heart of our understanding not just of early modern Europe, but of religion and identity in general. This volume collects recent work from past and present members of the European Reformation Research Group, exploring key fronts in contemporary Reformation Studies, achieving a broad view of how historiography has developed in recent decades - and where it seems set to go next"--

Book Wounded Cities  The Representation of Urban Disasters in European Art  14th 20th Centuries

Download or read book Wounded Cities The Representation of Urban Disasters in European Art 14th 20th Centuries written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural hazards punctuate the history of European towns, moulding their shape and identity: this book is devoted to the artistic representation of those calamities, from the late Middle Ages to the 20th century. It contains nine case studies which discuss, among others, the relationship between biblical imagery and the realistic depiction of urban disasters; the religious, political and ritual meanings of “destruction subjects” in early modern painting; the image of fire in Renaissance treatises on architecture; the first photographic campaigns documenting earthquakes’ damages; the role of contemporary art in the elaboration of a cultural memory of urban destructions. Thus, this book intends to address one of the main issues of Western civilization: the relationship of European towns with their own past and its discontinuities. Contributors are Alessandro Del Puppo, Isabella di Lenardo, Marco Folin, Sophie Goetzmann, Emanuela Guidoboni, Philippe Malgouyres, Olga Medvedkova, Fabrizio Nevola, Monica Preti and Tiziana Serena.

Book New Approaches to the Archive in the Middle Ages

Download or read book New Approaches to the Archive in the Middle Ages written by Emily N. Savage and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-25 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together scholars of history, manuscript studies, and art and architectural history to examine in conversation the varieties of medieval archival acts, the heterogeneity of collections, and the motivations of collectors. It is united by the historically flexible concept of the archive, and contributors examine material from Seville to Prague, from the early Christian period through the Reformation. Premodern collections and archival practices are increasingly becoming the subject of academic inquiry. Chapter authors investigate how institutional, communal, and familial identity accrued to material culture, including illuminated manuscripts, ecclesiastic vestments, ancient sarcophagi, and reliquaries. Others examine the social impulses behind the documentation of such collections, namely through the creation of inventories, but also in the production, management, and use of parchment records, including cartularies, estate records, and legal documents. Finally, contributors question how medieval people evaluated historical age and outmoded artistic styles; shaped and promoted collective memory through preservation, display, and ritual; and attached value, both monetary and symbolic, to their collections. The volume is cross-disciplinary and will appeal to a variety of readers, both in and out of academia. Curators, librarians, and archivists working with medieval collections will find it valuable, as will heritage professionals and charities involved in the care of properties which presently or formerly contained medieval treasuries, libraries, and archives.

Book A Companion to Colette of Corbie

Download or read book A Companion to Colette of Corbie written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Colette of Corbie presents a collection of essays offering new historical and religious perspectives on the life, career, and influences of this little-studied fifteenth-century saint. Colette of Corbie, a contemporary of Joan of Arc, established an important reform movement in the Franciscan order; founded numerous monasteries for women in Burgundy, France, and the Low Countries; and had connections with high ranking Burgundian and French noble families. Essays in this volume draw upon many relatively unknown primary sources and add significantly to the scholarship on this important religious figure. Contributors are: Anna Campbell, Joan Mueller, Andrea Pearson, Jane Marie Pinzino, Monique Somme, Ludovic Viallet, and Nancy Bradley Warren
