Book excerpt: Who is Emmanuel le Roy Ladurie French historian Emmanuel Bernard Le Roy Ladurie was primarily concerned with Languedoc under the Ancien régime, and more specifically with the history of the peasantry. His work was mostly centered on the region. Le Roy Ladurie, who is widely recognized as one of the most influential historians in France, has been referred to as the "rock star of the medievalists" and the "standard-bearer" of the third generation of the Annales school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in research show that the distinctive features of high medieval civilization began developing centuries earlier than previously thought. The era once dismissed as a "Dark Age" now turns out to have been the long morning of the medieval millennium: the centuries from AD 500 to 1000 witnessed the dawn of developments that were to shape Europe for centuries to come. In 2004, historians, art historians, archaeologists, and literary specialists from Europe and North America convened at Harvard University for an interdisciplinary conference exploring new directions in the study of that long morning of medieval Europe, the early Middle Ages. Invited to think about what seemed to each the most exciting new ways of investigating the early development of western European civilization, this impressive group of international scholars produced a wide-ranging discussion of innovative types of research that define tomorrow's field today. The contributors, many of whom rarely publish in English, test approaches extending from using ancient DNA to deducing cultural patterns signified by thousands of medieval manuscripts of saints' lives. They examine the archaeology of slave labor, economic systems, disease history, transformations of piety, the experience of power and property, exquisite literary sophistication, and the construction of the meaning of palace spaces or images of the divinity. The book illustrates in an approachable style the vitality of research into the early Middle Ages, and the signal contributions of that era to the future development of western civilization. The chapters cluster around new approaches to five key themes: the early medieval economy; early medieval holiness; representation and reality in early medieval literary art; practices of power in an early medieval empire; and the intellectuality of early medieval art and architecture. Michael McCormick's brief introductions open each part of the volume; synthetic essays by accomplished specialists conclude them. The editors summarize the whole in a synoptic introduction. All Latin terms and citations and other foreign-language quotations are translated, making this work accessible even to undergraduates. The Long Morning of Medieval Europe: New Directions in Early Medieval Studies presents innovative research across the wide spectrum of study of the early Middle Ages. It exemplifies the promising questions and methodologies at play in the field today, and the directions that beckon tomorrow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les textes présentés dans ce dossier prolongent les contributions données par nos auteurs à une journée d’étude organisée en hommage à Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie le 11 juin 2009 à la BNF, et qui comportait une section consacrée à l’histoire climatique. Administrateur général de la Bibliothèque nationale d’octobre 1987 à janvier 1994, membre de l’Institut, titulaire de la chaire d’Histoire de la civilisation moderne au Collège de France de 1973 à 1999, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie s’est intéressé très tôt à l’histoire du climat sur laquelle il a commencé à publier dès 1957. En 1967, il publie l’Histoire du climat depuis l’an mil, ouvrage novateur et fondateur mais mieux reçu à l’étranger que chez les historiens français, comme l’expose ici même Emmanuel Garnier qui revient sur la place tenue par les historiens dans les débats actuels sur la question du réchauffement. Loin d’avoir renoncé, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie a poursuivi ses recherches, les approfondissant sans cesse, les nuançant toujours. Est ainsi parue une volumineuse Histoire humaine et comparée du climat en trois volumes entre 2004 et 2009. Aussi Anouchka Vasak analyse-t-elle dans ce dossier l’évolution de la pensée « ladurienne » sur l’histoire du climat. Elle souligne notamment le virage anthropologique, dont rend compte le titre de la dernière trilogie, pris par ce promoteur de « l’histoire immobile », pour reprendre le titre de sa leçon inaugurale au Collège de France, célèbre pour avoir élargi le territoire de l’historien à « l’histoire sans les hommes 1 », même si au final l’activité humaine n’était jamais loin des pensées de Le Roy Ladurie toujours attentif à évaluer les menaces ayant pesé sur le développement de l’humanité. Dans le texte inédit qu’il présente ici, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie nous donne sa vision la plus récente de l’évolution dans la longue durée du climat européen. La variabilité climatique, temporelle et spatiale, y est mise en avant. Toujours sensible aux oscillations et fluctuations, il souligne l’importance des effets des chocs sur la société. L’exemple du XVIIe siècle montre bien qu’une fraîcheur globale n’exclut pas les moments de moindre fraîcheur et même de belles séquences chaudes : les sécheresses de ce « petit âge glaciaire » ont durablement marqué les esprits. Si le nombre de périodes de sécheresse est en augmentation au XXe siècle, leur durée a en revanche tendance à diminuer, et elles se situent plutôt l’été ou l’automne qu’au printemps. Dans une année froide, rappelle encore Le Roy Ladurie, ce qui compte, particulièrement dans des économies encore agricoles, ce sont, plus encore que la fraîcheur d’un été, les excès des précipitations. De même, le recul des glaciers dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle est certes dû à des étés chauds, mais aussi à des hivers moins neigeux. Et les hivers froids de notre période de réchauffement ne sont pas une espèce en voie d’extinction. Les changements climatiques ne se traduisent pas tant par une évolution régulière que par l’augmentation de la fréquence des accidents. Les mécanismes des fluctuations naturelles du climat sont encore mal connus d’où l’importance de la mise en perspective historique, d’autant qu’il est possible, comme l’ont montré les travaux d’E Garnier2, de reconstruire les événements extrêmes qu’a connus le passé. On voit bien, à lire Le Roy Ladurie, qu’il a existé jadis des pics thermiques qui n’ont rien à envier aux nôtres. L’historien dispose, pour ses reconstructions, de données instrumentales, souvent récentes (par ex. les températures réellement mesurées), et de données indirectes, plutôt de nature anthropique (par ex les dates de vendanges). Son rôle est de les contextualiser de manière à permettre aux « scientifiques » de calibrer et modéliser les relations qui existent entre elles. Ce rôle est d’autant plus nécessaire que l’on sait que nos perceptions du climat sont aussi subjectives que sélectives : la disparition des saisons est un discours récurrent qui existait déjà sous l’Ancien Régime, le jamais vu de mémoire d’homme pouvant renvoyer à moins de deux ans 3 ! Les dates de vendanges comptent parmi les principaux outils de l’historien du climat. Précises et annuelles, elles sont un bon indicateur sur la chaleur ou la fraîcheur des printemps et des étés. Elles présentent aussi l’avantage unique de séries régulières sur la longue durée puisqu’on les connaît pour certaines régions, en Bourgogne par exemple, depuis le XIVe siècle. Partant de la relation qui existe entre température et développement de la vigne, la date des vendanges correspond à l’époque de maturité du raisin qui est fortement liée aux températures, la physicienne Valérie Daux a élaboré une méthodologie permettant de les utiliser scientifiquement pour reconstituer les températures d’avril à août et permettre ainsi une reconstruction des climats du passé. Elle présente ici la construction de ce modèle statistiquement satisfaisant et transposable qui, à cépage égal, intègre aussi de nombreux paramètres locaux et des facteurs humains. Elle réussit avec succès, de manière inédite, à marier la rigueur des sciences dites dures avec la contextualisation géographique, historique et technique. Aussi cette avancée est-elle une bonne illustration de la fécondité que peut produire l’interdisciplinarité pour laquelle Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie a milité depuis tant d’années. Travail de Romain certes, mais auquel se sont attelés avec persévérance et talent ses disciples, comme ils le montrent dans le dossier que présente notre revue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disasters and History offers the first comprehensive historical overview of hazards and disasters. Drawing on a range of case studies, including the Black Death, the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and the Fukushima disaster, the authors examine how societies dealt with shocks and hazards and their potentially disastrous outcomes. They reveal the ways in which the consequences and outcomes of these disasters varied widely not only between societies but also within the same societies according to social groups, ethnicity and gender. They also demonstrate how studying past disasters, including earthquakes, droughts, floods and epidemics, can provide a lens through which to understand the social, economic and political functioning of past societies and reveal features of a society which may otherwise remain hidden from view. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book Montaillou written by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The village of Montaillou was the last stronghold of the cult of Catharism in medieval France. Under the Inquisition of Bishop Fournier members of this sect were persecuted and some burnt at the stake, and the interrogations about the way they lived were chronicled in a Register. From this document Ladurie has reconstructed an intruging account of everyday peasant life in a medieval village. Montaillou gives us a unique glimpse into how people really lived 700 years ago: from their homes and the food they ate to their body language and attitudes to sex. EMMANUEL LE ROY LADURIE was born in 1929. He has had a distinguished career, serving as Administrateur Général of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (1987-94); member of the Institute (Academy of Moral and Political Sciences). He is a professor at the Collège de France and chair of the department of the History of Modern Civilization.

Download or read book The Summits of Modern Man written by Peter H. Hansen and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of mountaineering has long served as a metaphor for civilization triumphant. Once upon a time, the Alps were an inaccessible habitat of specters and dragons, until heroic men—pioneers of enlightenment—scaled their summits, classified their strata and flora, and banished the phantoms forever. A fascinating interdisciplinary study of the first ascents of the major Alpine peaks and Mount Everest, The Summits of Modern Man surveys the far-ranging significance of our encounters with the world’s most alluring and forbidding heights. Our obsession with “who got to the top first” may have begun in 1786, the year Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard climbed Mont Blanc and inaugurated an era in which Romantic notions of the sublime spurred climbers’ aspirations. In the following decades, climbing lost its revolutionary cachet as it became associated instead with bourgeois outdoor leisure. Still, the mythic stories of mountaineers, threaded through with themes of imperialism, masculinity, and ascendant Western science and culture, seized the imagination of artists and historians well into the twentieth century, providing grist for stage shows, poetry, films, and landscape paintings. Today, we live on the threshold of a hot planet, where melting glaciers and rising sea levels create ambivalence about the conquest of nature. Long after Hillary and Tenzing’s ascent of Everest, though, the image of modern man supreme on the mountaintop retains its currency. Peter Hansen’s exploration of these persistent images indicates how difficult it is to imagine our relationship with nature in terms other than domination.
Download or read book Historiography in the Twentieth Century written by Georg G. Iggers and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “No one looking for a well-informed introduction to . . the key views of history adopted by professional historians . . could find a better one than this.” ―Richard J. Evans, author of In Defence of History A broad perspective on historical thought and writing, with a new epilogue. In this book, now published in ten languages, a preeminent intellectual historian examines the profound changes in ideas about the nature of history and historiography. Georg G. Iggers traces the basic assumptions upon which historical research and writing have been based, and describes how the newly emerging social sciences transformed historiography following World War II. The discipline’s greatest challenge may have come in the last two decades, when postmodern ideas forced a reevaluation of the relationship of historians to their subject and questioned the very possibility of objective history. Iggers sees the contemporary discipline as a hybrid, moving away from a classical, macrohistorical approach toward microhistory, cultural history, and the history of everyday life. The new epilogue, by the author, examines the movement away from postmodernism towards new social science approaches that give greater attention to cultural factors and to the problems of globalization. “The book has all the virtues one associates with Georg Iggers—lucidity, detachment, balance, and the ability to reveal the relation between trends in historical writing and their political and cultural contexts.” —Peter Burke, Cambridge University
