Connu surtout pour ses travaux d’épigraphie sémitique novateurs, le dominicain français Antonin Jaussen (1871-1962) fut un membre éminent de l’École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem, fondée à la fin du XIXe siècle en vue de promouvoir l’étude de la Bible dans le contexte historique, géographique et humain de la Terre Sainte. Également agent de renseignement de la France au Levant et porteur d’une vision de la science comme idéal, le savant se place dans un entre-deux que le présent ouvrage se donne pour but d’interroger. Ce volume constitue les actes du colloque « Antonin Jaussen : genèse des sciences sociales occidentales, constitution d’un patrimoine arabe », organisé par le CERMOC à l’Université de Jordanie à Amman, les 22 et 23 mars 1997. Rassemblant des contributions aussi diverses que variées, cet opus met en lumière l’importance tant de l’exégèse et de l’orientalisme que des outils de la science moderne, de la photographie et des réflexions sur les changements politiques au Proche-Orient dans l’œuvre du dominicain. Au cours de ses soixante-dix années de présence dans la région, Jaussen a de surcroît été un précurseur, et ce dans nombreux champs de recherche : ethnographie, anthropologie urbaine, études des campagnes et des « régions tribales », etc. En guise de conclusion, les derniers chapitres de ce livre posent des questions d’ordre épistémologique portant sur le statut de nos catégories de pensée et de notre imaginaire et de leur réappropriation par les sociétés arabes après la décolonisation. L’histoire et l’archéologie y ont en effet joué un rôle clé dans la construction des identités nationales ou communautaires.

In "The Turk" in the Czech Imagination (1870s-1923), Jitka Malečková describes Czechs' views of the Turks in the last half century of the existence of the Ottoman Empire and how they were influenced by ideas and trends in other countries, including the European fascination with the Orient, images of "the Turk," contemporary scholarship, and racial theories. The Czechs were not free from colonial ambitions either, as their attitude to Bosnia-Herzegovina demonstrates, but their viewpoint was different from that found in imperial states and among the peoples who had experienced Ottoman rule. The book convincingly shows that the Czechs mainly viewed the Turks through the lenses of nationalism and Pan-Slavism - in solidarity with the Slavs fighting against Ottoman rule.

The volume includes the proceedings of the 2nd Roma Sinica project conference held in Seoul in September 2019 and aims to compare some features of the ancient political thought in the Western classical tradition and in the Eastern ancient thought. The contributors, coming from Korea, Europe, USA, China, Japan, propose new patterns of interpretation of the mutual interactions and proximities between these two cultural worlds and offer also a perspective of continuity between contemporary and ancient political thought. Therefore, this book is a reference place in the context of the comparative research between Roman (and early Greek thought) and Eastern thought. Researchers interested in Cicero, Seneca, Plato, post-Platonic and post Aristotelic philosophical schools, history, ancient Roman and Chinese languages could find interesting materials in this work.

Transference of orientalist images and identities to the American landscape and its inhabitants, especially in the West-in other words, portrayal of the West as the "Orient"-has been a common aspect of American cultural history. Place names, such as the Jordan River or Pyramid Lake, offer notable examples, but the imagery and its varied meanings are more widespread and significant. Understanding that range and significance, especially to the western part of the continent, means coming to terms with the complicated, nuanced ideas of the Orient and of the North American continent that

A Cape of Asia collects eighteen of Wesseling’s finest essays on European History, clustered around three concerns: The Wider View, or the historical European perspective on globalization, migration and decolonization; Europe’s Identity, reflecting the shift from Eurocentrism to Americanization and Europe’s acceptance of Japan, China and India as new key players in the global economy; and European Ideas about Education, Science, and Art. The third section includes the articles ‘Johan Huizinga and the Spirit of the Nineteen Thirties’ and ‘The Expansion of Europe and the Development of Science and Technology’. A small cape of Asia was how Paul Valéry described Europe in 1919 – a pointed summary of the new mood that came over Europe in the interbellum years. Wesseling’s essays hold to the original sense of the word: personal reflections on vast subjects written for an intellectual and interested but not necessarily specialized readership.
