Download or read book Le Moyen Age et la Bible written by Pierre Riché and published by Editions Beauchesne. This book was released on 1984 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'histoire de la Bible est comme celle d'un long fleuve qui parcourt le temps et irrigue les champs de l'Occident. Au Moyen Âge plus que jamais. Les auteurs de ce livre ont voulu montrer quelle était réellement cette Bible, comment on l'a reçue, comprise, quelle a été son influence sur l'enseignement, les institutions, l'art et les mentalités. À ce projet ambitieux, frôlant la démesure, il fallait une idée-clef qui façonne l'unité de l'ouvrage. On voit donc comment les hommes du Moyen Âge sont peu à peu passés de l'âge de la Loi à celui de la Bonne nouvelle, de la rumination aristocratique de la Bible chez les moines à l'imitation populaire des gestes du Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre retrace l'histoire d'une parente deviante et pourtant modelisante, racontee, repetee et representee inlassablement a la fin du Moyen Age. Pour tenter de definir la parente hagiographique medievale - notion qui s'avere d'emblee paradoxale tant cette l'hagiographie vise a minimiser l'importance des liens de parente terrestres au profit des liens spirituels - cette etude prend le parti de confronter vitaeet images, autour de la Legende doree et de l'ensemble des miniatures qui ornaient ses manuscrits de la fin du XIIIe a la fin du XVe siecle. Se pose la question de la maniere dont le parcours vers la saintete fait se jouer en creux - en fonction du type de support, du contexte historique et du genre du saint - la geographie des liens de parente medievaux, biologiques, quotidiens ou fictifs, et de comment une forme de pseudo-parente peut s'etablir entre saints et fideles dans les images de devotion.

Book excerpt: « Dieu, cela n’est pas, tant que ce n’est pas en pierre. / Il faut une maison pour mettre la prière » : Victor Hugo a noté l’évolution paradoxale qui amène le christianisme occidental à exalter les monuments de la présence divine, alors que le Christ et ses premiers disciples entendaient rompre avec le monde matériel et avec toute sacralité ancienne incarnée dans la pierre pour mieux faire sa place à la Cité spirituelle de Dieu dans l’au-delà. Comment, pourquoi et quand Dieu est-il devenu de « pierre » ? Comment, pourquoi et quand l’église s’est-elle imposée dans le paysage social ? Telles sont les questions au centre de cette « histoire monumentale de l’Église au Moyen Âge ». À l’étude du discours que les clercs latins ont tenu sur l’église-bâtiment, il s’agit de montrer comment l’Église, en tant que force d’encadrement et de structuration de la société, a gagné en visibilité terrestre à travers la constitution de « lieux » considérés comme spécifiques. L’itinéraire proposé permet de parcourir, tout au long du Moyen Âge (avec un intérêt particulier pour les IXe-XIIIe siècles), les différentes étapes d’une histoire qui finit par faire de la « cathédrale » le monument emblématique d’une société largement utopique au sein de laquelle chaque homme, comme une petite pierre, a sa place et sa fonction dans la grande architecture du monde. C’est ainsi que la « Maison Dieu », exaltée comme une sainte personne, fait de l’Église une véritable « Cène sociale » où se construit l’architecture communautaire et où s’édifient les fidèles.

Download or read book Water Heritage written by Willem Willems and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the ages. Its presence has always been ascertained in a variety of ways and the development of human society everywhere is connected with various forms of water management. Man also needed to manage water to find protection from its dangers and the need for that is increasing. In the coming decades, the impact of climate change is expected to intensify floods and droughts, affect groundwater resources, raise sea levels, increase pollution and enhance the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Societies around the world are challenged to adapt to these threats to ensure water security, economic prosperity and environmental and cultural sustainability. This book deals with the heritage of water management and the use that was made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. An example of the former may be an ancient irrigation system in the Filipines or in the Middle East that still functions today, while the latter may reflect the importance of maintaining groundwater levels for the preservation of organic remains on archaeological sites or of wooden piles underneath standing buildings. In either case the papers in this book reflect the dynamic nature of water, and hence the equally dynamic relation between water management and heritage. This publication follows up on a Heritage and Water conference in Amsterdam, the first of its kind. Its main purpose is to credibly present the importance and value of heritage and historical experience for water and sustainable development, and vice versa, present the importance of water management for the protection of heritage. It presents evolving insights and concepts about Water and about Heritage from a variety of disciplines, policy and public perspectives illustrated with cases studies and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects

Book excerpt: "Reading Spiegel's book is like seeing the scattered pieces of a jigsaw puzzle of history and literature suddenly assembled in a dazzling new image, a picture that could not have been made without the master piece, the manuscript that Professor Spiegel was the first person in almost 800 years to read and interpret. Her effort is a tour de force of no mean proportion."--Stephen G. Nichols Jr., author of Romanesque Signs

Download or read book Herpetological Osteopathology written by Bruce M. Rothschild and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As scientific analysis of testable hypotheses has replaced the speculative approach to study of bone disease in recent and fossil amphibians and reptiles, the field has advanced from simply reporting observations to analyzing their implications. This process is predicated upon a reproducible data base which explains/diagnoses the nature of bony alterations and a secure review of the literature. Thereby hangs the rub. The herpetological literature are difficult to access (let alone read) and are scattered through many prominent and eclectic journals and in the lay literature. While older diagnoses often have not stood the test of time, the clarity of report descriptions usually allows confident identification of the underlying pathology.

Download or read book Heritage Sites of Astronomy and Archaeoastronomy in the Context of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention written by Clive L. N. Ruggles and published by Ocarina Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Thematic Study is a joint venture between ICOMOS, the advisory body to UNESCO on cultural sites, and the International Astronomical Union. It presents an overall vision on astronomical heritage, attempts to identify what constitutes "outstanding universal significance to humankind" in relation to astronomy, and identifies broad issues that could arise in the assessment of cultural properties relating to astronomy. This is the first Thematic Study in any field of science heritage. It is elaborated using examples of properties from around the world, including some already on the World Heritage List or national Tentative Lists. The subject matter ranges from early prehistory to modern astrophysics and space heritage, and also prominently includes dark sky issues and modern observatory sites. An e-version of the Thematic Study was published in June 2010 in time to be presented to the 2010 meeting of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, where it was duly approved. It has been circulated officially by the WHC to all of UNESCO's National Commissions. This full-colour paperback edition with some updates, and reformatted to new ICOMOS standards, was published in 2011 and is now offered for public sale.

Download or read book Psychiatric Power written by Michel Foucault and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-06-24 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Psychiatric Power, the fourth volume in the collection of his groundbreaking lectures at the Collège de France, Michel Foucault addresses and expands upon the ideas in his seminal Madness and Civilization, sketching the genealogy of psychiatry and of its characteristic form of power/knowledge. Madness and Civilization undertook the archeology of the division according to which, in Western Society, the madman found himself separated from the sane. That book ends with the medicalization of madness at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Psychiatric Power continues this discourse up to the end of the nineteenth century, and the double "depsychiatrization" of madness, now dispersed between the neurologist and the psychoanalyst. Presented in a conversational tone, Psychiatric Power brings fresh access and light to the work of one of the past century's preeminent thinkers.
