Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage porte sur la nature et les formes des relations sociales dans l'Occident chrétien, du milieu du VIe à la fin du IXe siècle. Il propose une réflexion sur les principes constitutifs des sociétés du haut Moyen Âge et les diverses échelles auxquelles on peut les observer. Les premiers chapitres sont consacrés à la présentation des méthodes d'analyse des sources, aux conditions de vie et aux divers groupes sociaux (le cadre de la vie sociale, la société rurale, les élites, la place de l'individu dans le groupe) ; ensuite, les rapports sociaux sont envisagés selon plusieurs thèmes : alliances et solidarités, culture et communication, pouvoir et autorité, ordre et désordre. Les questions liées à la parenté, aux formes d'association, au règlement des conflits, aux échanges, à la constitution des identités ou aux niveaux de culture ont fait l'objet d'un profond renouvellement dans les dernières années, grâce notamment à une approche interdisciplinaire. Ce livre propose une synthèse des principales publications internationales sur le sujet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le premier Moyen Âge n'a pas toujours bonne réputation. Siècles violents, siècles " barbares " ou " siècles de fer ", ces temps, écartelés entre la puissance de l'Empire romain et le rayonnement du Moyen Âge central, apparaissent traditionnellement comme des moments de rupture avec une Antiquité plus sereine dont ils sont néanmoins, à bien des égards, l'aboutissement. S'appuyant sur une documentation large, archéologique et textuelle, les auteurs ont tenté de mesurer l'évolution de l'Occident durant ces quatre siècles, qui héritent à la fois de Rome et des mondes germaniques. S'esquissent alors les fondements de la société médiévale et les prémices d'une identité chrétienne : l'Europe, qui prend conscience d'elle-même, se pense désormais comme créatrice de sa propre culture et de sa propre histoire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Les sociétés en Europe du milieu du VII siècle à la fin du IXe siècle " est un sujet vaste et complexe, presque global, dont la maîtrise passe à la fois par des connaissances générales sur les périodes concernées et par la mise en œuvre d'orientations précises en fonction des grandes avancées de la recherche. Pour cette raison, les auteurs ont jugé utile d'aider le lecteur à se repérer par des chronologies sur l'époque mérovingienne puis carolingienne. Les chapitres intègrent des développements politiques sur cette période qui s'articule de part et d'autre du VIIe siècle, sur l'alternative " continuité ou rupture ? " pour reprendre le titre d'un colloque. La recherche a bénéficié depuis ces dernières années d'un dynamisme exceptionnel sur cette période longtemps dénigrée comme celle des " Temps Barbares ". Elle s'appuie sur des textes, dont quelques-uns ont été traduits et commentés de manière à stimuler la réflexion. Une place non négligeable a été donnée à l'archéologie dont les découvertes se sont multipliées depuis une vingtaine d'années, avec des synthèses en cours de publication. Les auteurs ont souhaité attirer l'attention du lecteur sur les sources de l'époque, diverses, disparates et dans tous les cas déséquilibrées quant à leurs auteurs, rois ou clercs, et à leur répartition dans le temps. Elles sont en effet plus rares au VIe-VIIe siècle et plus nombreuses à partir du VIIIe-IXe siècle. De nouvelles approches sont également apparues, comme celle de l'anthropologie sociale. Néanmoins, une dialectique permanente s'avère nécessaire entre l'histoire et l'archéologie de manière à ne pas échafauder un nouvel imaginaire sur cette période méconnue de l'histoire qui conduirait à une sorte d'exotisme du barbare. L'Histoire reste fille du temps présent. Les savoirs sont donc discutés, contestés, débattus, constamment remis à jour... preuve d'une réelle dimension scientifique.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers presented at the Fourteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 2003 (see also Studia Patristica 39, 40, 41 and 42). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

Book excerpt: "The breath of reading is astounding, the knowledge displayed is awe-inspiring and the attention quietly given to critical theory and the postmodern questioning of evidence is both careful and sincere."--The Daily Telegraph (UK) "A superlative work of historical scholarship."--Literary Review (UK) A unique and enlightening look at Europe's so-called Dark Ages; the second volume in the Penguin History of Europe Defying the conventional Dark Ages view of European history between A.D. 400 and 1000, award-winning historian Chris Wickham presents The Inheritance of Rome, a work of remarkable scope and rigorous yet accessible scholarship. Drawing on a wealth of new material and featuring a thoughtful synthesis of historical and archaeological approaches, Wickham agues that these centuries were critical in the formulation of European identity. From Ireland to Constantinople, the Baltic to the Mediterranean, the narrative constructs a vivid portrait of the vast and varied world of Goths, Franks, Vandals, Arabs, Saxons, and Vikings. Groundbreaking and full of fascinating revelations, The Inheritance of Rome offers a fresh understanding of the crucible in which Europe would ultimately be created.
Download or read book Europe after Rome written by Julia M. H. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first single-author study in over fifty years to offer an integrated appraisal of the early Middle Ages as a dynamic and formative period in European history. Written in an attractive and accessible style, it makes extensive use of original sources to introduce early medieval men and women at all levels of society from slave to emperor, and allows them to speak to the reader in their own words. It overturns traditional narratives and instead offers an entirely fresh approach to the centuries from c.500 to c.1000. Rejecting any notion of a dominant, uniform early medieval culture, it argues that the fundamental characteristic of the early middle ages is diversity of experience. To explain how the men and women who lived in this period ordered their world in cultural, social, and political terms, it employs an innovative methodology combining cultural history, regional studies, and gender history. Ranging comparatively from Ireland to Hungary and from Scotland and Scandinavia to Spain and Italy, the analysis highlights three themes: regional variation, power, and the legacy of Rome. The book's eight chapters examine the following subjects: Speaking and Writing; Living and Dying; Friends and Relations; Men and Women; Labour and Lordship; Getting and Giving; Kingship and Christianity; Rome and the Peoples of Europe. Collectively, they establish the complex cultural realities which distinguished Europe in the period between the end of the central institutions of the western Roman empire in the fifth century and the emergence of a Rome-centred papal monarchy from the late eleventh century onwards. In the context of debates about the social, religious and cultural meaning of 'Europe' in the early twenty-first century, this books seeks the origins of European cultural pluralism and diversity in the early Middle Ages.

Download or read book Making and Unmaking the Carolingians written by Stuart Airlie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-24 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does power manifest itself in individuals? Why do people obey authority? And how does a family, if they are the source of such dominance, convey their superiority and maintain their command in a pre-modern world lacking speedy communications, standing armies and formalised political jurisdiction? Here, Stuart Airlie expertly uses this idea of authority as a lens through which to explore one of the most famous dynasties in medieval Europe: the Carolingians. Ruling the Frankish realm from 751 to 888, the family of Charlemagne had to be ruthless in asserting their status and adept at creating a discourse of Carolingian legitimacy in order to sustain their supremacy. Through its nuanced analysis of authority, politics and family, Making and Unmaking the Carolingians, 751-888 outlines the system which placed the Carolingian dynasty at the centre of the Frankish world. In doing so, Airlie sheds important new light on both the rise and fall of the Carolingian empire and the nature of power in medieval Europe more generally.
Download or read book Medieval Europe written by Chris Wickham and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spirited history of the changes that transformed Europe during the 1,000-year span of the Middle Ages: “A dazzling race through a complex millennium.”—Publishers Weekly The millennium between the breakup of the western Roman Empire and the Reformation was a long and hugely transformative period—one not easily chronicled within the scope of a few hundred pages. Yet distinguished historian Chris Wickham has taken up the challenge in this landmark book, and he succeeds in producing the most riveting account of medieval Europe in a generation. Tracking the entire sweep of the Middle Ages across Europe, Wickham focuses on important changes century by century, including such pivotal crises and moments as the fall of the western Roman Empire, Charlemagne’s reforms, the feudal revolution, the challenge of heresy, the destruction of the Byzantine Empire, the rebuilding of late medieval states, and the appalling devastation of the Black Death. He provides illuminating vignettes that underscore how shifting social, economic, and political circumstances affected individual lives and international events—and offers both a new conception of Europe’s medieval period and a provocative revision of exactly how and why the Middle Ages matter. “Far-ranging, fluent, and thoughtful—of considerable interest to students of history writ large, and not just of Europe.”—Kirkus Reviews, (starred review) Includes maps and illustrations
Download or read book Journal of Medieval Military History written by John France and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Journal of Medieval Military History continues to consolidate its now assured position as the leading academic vehicle for scholarly publication in the field of medieval warfare. Medieval Warfare The articles here offer a wide range of approaches to medieval warfare. They include traditional studies of strategy (on Baybars) and the logistics of Edward II's wars, as well as cultural history (an examination of chivalry in Guy of Warwick) intellectual history (a broad analysis of strategic theory in the Middle Ages), and social history (on knightly training in arms). The Hundred Years War is studied using cutting-edge methodology (data-drivenanalysis of skirmishes) and by tackling relatively new areas of inquiry (environmental history). There is also a close reading of Carolingian documents, which sheds new light on armies and warfare in the time of Charles the Great. Contributors: Ronald W. Braasch III, Pierre Galle, Walter Goffart, Carl I. Hammer, John Hosler, Rabei G. Khamisy, Ilana Krug, Danny Lake-Giguère, Brian Price.
Download or read book La soci t du haut Moyen Age written by Régine Le Jan and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entre la société antique et la société féodale, existe-t-il une société du haut Moyen Age ? On oppose généralement les sociétés " étatiques " du sud de l'Europe, qui se sont développées dans les cadres de l'ancien empire romain et qui sont le produit de la fusion entre Romains et Barbares, aux sociétés tribales du nord et de l'est dont certaines en sont encore à l'âge du fer. Sans rejeter cette grille d'analyse, il faut souligner l'extrême diversité des sociétés post-antiques d'une part, leurs caractères communs fondamentaux de l'autre : ce sont des sociétés agraires, guerrières et compétitives, dominées par des élites qui mettent en avant le peuple en armes pour mieux légitimer leur domination. Ce sont des sociétés segmentaires où l'équilibre social et la protection des individus sont très largement assurés par des groupements contractuels à forte dominante horizontale. La christianisation d'une grande partie de l'Europe occidentale, le développement des systèmes domaniaux et la concentration des pouvoirs centraux à partir du VIIe siècle renforcent la domination des puissants et la hiérarchisation de la société. Les Carolingiens entreprennent alors une véritable mise en ordre hiérarchique qui touche tous les secteurs de la vie sociale, en s'appuyant sur les structures monastiques et intégratives d'un empire ayant vocation à s'identifier à l'ecclesia. Nourri de l'apport des sciences sociales, l'ouvrage propose donc une lecture anthropologique et sociologique du haut Moyen Age. A travers l'analyse des systèmes de représentation, du rapport des hommes à l'espace et à Dieu, des relations entre les individus et les groupements, il cherche à éclairer les rapports sociaux et les processus de transformation entre le VIe et la fin du IXe siècle.
