Download or read book Patrimoine des Balkans written by Maximilien Durand and published by Somogy éditions d'art. This book was released on 2005 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'association Patrimoine sans frontières a engagé, dans le cadre du programme " Culture 2000 " de la Commission européenne, une action sur un site exceptionnel et méconnu d'Albanie, la ville de Voskopojë. Le projet, intitulé " Voskopojë sans frontières ", a conduit de nombreux spécialistes français, allemands, grecs et albanais dans un village aujourd'hui habité par 500 habitants, mais qui était, au XVIIe et au XVIIIe siècle l'une des villes les plus florissantes des Balkans. Située sur la route qui reliait Venise, Dürres et Constantinople, Voskopojë possédait une Académie, une imprimerie et de nombreuses églises. Enclave chrétienne au sein du vaste Empire ottoman, elle faisait appel aux meilleurs artistes du temps, comme David Selenica ou les frères Constantin et Athanase Zografi, formés au mont Athos, pour peindre à fresque les lieux de culte. Le relatif oubli dont a souffert Voskopojë durant les dernières décennies, malheureusement, a engendré de graves problèmes de conservation, mettant en péril ce site précieux du patrimoine mondial qui compte un monastère et cinq églises exceptionnelles par leurs décors peints post-byzantins, intérieurs et extérieurs. C'est pourquoi, en collaboration avec l'Institut des monuments de culture d'Albanie, un chantier-école européen de conservation et de restauration a été entrepris, sous la direction scientifique de l'Institut national du patrimoine, centré sur l'église Saint-Athanase. Parallèlement, d'autres actions ont été menées à Voskopojë : archéologie du site, photogrammétrie, études d'architecture, d'histoire de l'art, d'iconographie, de climatologie... Patrimoine des Balkans, Voskopojë sans frontières 2004 se propose donc de faire le compte-rendu des premiers travaux conduits sur les lieux mêmes. Le volume, constitué de plusieurs contributions des spécialistes qui se sont rendus sur place, témoigne de la diversité des actions menées et, surtout, de l'importance et de l'intérêt du patrimoine de Voskopojë. Mais le propos de l'ouvrage se veut plus large. Voskopojë ne saurait être isolée d'une réflexion générale sur l'art post-byzantin dans les Balkans, descendant direct de l'art byzantin, qui s'est épanoui parallèlement à l'art de l'islam dans des régions situées aux frontières de l'Occident et de l'Orient. C'est pourquoi d'autres textes ont été réunis dans le volume, afin de montrer comment l'expression artistique des Balkans s'inscrit, en dépit de ses particularités, dans une tradition riche et multiple.

Through a variety of case studies from Southeastern Europe, this volume explores the concept of landscape from multiple fields of study in order to gain insight into how disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, folklore, sociology, and history define and approach this concept.
Download or read book Monastic Economy Across Time written by Rumen Lûbenov Avramov and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims at a readership of both economists and historians. Beyond the well-known Weberian thesis concerning the role of Protestantism in the development of capitalism, monastic economies are studied to assess their impact on the religious patterns of economic behavior. Those issues are discussed in the frame of key economic concepts such as rationality, state intervention, networking, agency, and governance. The book includes essays concerning Byzantine, Ottoman and modern South-Eastern Europe, and early modern Western Europe. Survival and continuity of the monastic wealth is considered as an example of successful handling of real estate transactions, flows of funds, and contacts with financial institutions. Moreover, the book focuses on the economic impact of the privileged relations of monasticism with the secular powers. Finally, the question is raised how the monastic economy (still) matters in the contemporary world.
Download or read book Charles I of Anjou written by Jean Dunbabin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles I of Anjou (1225-85), brother of St Louis, was one of the most controversial figures of thirteenth-century Europe. A royal adventurer, who carved out a huge Mediterranean power block, as ruler of Provence, Jerusalem and the kingdom of Naples as well as Anjou, he changed for good the political configuration of the Mediterranean world - even though his ambitions were fatally undermined by the revolt of the Sicilian Vespers. Jean Dunbabin's study - the first in English for 40 years - reassesses Charles's extraordinary career, his pivotal role in the crusades and in military reform, trading, diplomacy, learning and the arts, and finds a more remarkable figure than the ruthless thug of conventional historiography.

Download or read book Myths and Mythical Spaces written by Claudia Lichnofsky and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses textbooks written in the Albanian language and in use in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia. Political myths and mythical spaces play a key role in shaping processes of identity-building, concepts of ‘self’ and ‘other’, and ideas pertaining to the location of the self and nation within a post-conflict context. The Albanian case is particularly interesting because the majority of Albanians live outside the borders of Albania, despite the existence of the nation-state, which gives rise to fascinating complexities regarding the shaping of national identities and myths surrounding concepts of ‘self’ and ‘other’. What textbooks teach is always of political interest, as they represent society’s intentions for its next generation. This renders identity-building processes via textbooks in this context a particularly fascinating topic for research, here examined through the lens of myths and mythical spaces.
Download or read book Early Christian Remains of Inner Mongolia written by Tjalling H. F. Halbertsma and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-08-31 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Christian presence in Inner Mongolia forms the subject of this book. These Nestorian remains must primarily be attributed to the Öngüt, a Turkic people closely allied to the Mongols. Writing in Syriac, Uighur and Chinese scripts and languages, the Nestorian Öngüt drew upon a variety of religions and cultures to decorate their gravestones with crosses rising from lotus flowers, dragons and Taoist imagery. This heritage also portrays designs found in the Islamic world. Taking a closer look at the discovery of this material and its significance for the study of the early Church of the East under the Mongols, the author reconstructs the Nestorian culture of the Öngüt. The reader will find many newly discovered objects not published before. At the same time this study demonstrates how many remaining objects were appropriated and, in many cases, vanished after their discovery. 'I find myself obliged to make a special effort to avoid over-praising this book, a treasure-house of information, drawn on a comprehensive array of sources, some of them hitherto untapped, and splendidly presented on the important subject of Christian presence in East Asia.' DENIS SINOR, (Indiana University), Journal of Asian History, 43/1 (2009)
