The D’Avalos name evokes images of cruel battles and tragic love stories, reminds figures of great warlords and sophisticated ladies, nourishes the legend of fabulous riches and luxurious residences. The work of scholars who explored the thick forest of Innico and Alfonso D’Avalos descendants do not allow to completely outline the history of this family. The family’s private archive, inviolable guardian of their memories, where records related to the private sphere and official acts, such as pontifical papers and relations with the sovereigns, are kept is still inaccessible. The records of the notary Scotto di Santolo can be very useful, because they allowed the reconstruction of the wide archival heritage coming from the past, recorded along with other property of the family after the death, in 1862, of last heir of the primary branch, the Prince Alfonso D’Avalos. The transcription of the D’Avalos archive before the Italian unification that we present can avoid its definitive "burial".

This open access book examines the depiction of Korean history in recent South Korean historical films. Released over the Hallyu (“Korean Wave”) period starting in the mid-1990s, these films have reflected, shaped, and extended the thriving public discourse over national history. In these works, the balance between fate and freedom—the negotiation between societal constraints and individual will, as well as cyclical and linear history—functions as a central theme, subtext, or plot device for illuminating a rich variety of historical events, figures, and issues. In sum, these highly accomplished films set in Korea’s past address universal concerns about the relationship between structure and agency, whether in collective identity or in individual lives. Written in an engaging and accessible style by an established historian, Fate and Freedom in Korean Historical Films offers a distinctive perspective on understanding and appreciating Korean history and culture. Kyung Moon Hwang is Korea Foundation Professor at the Australian National University, Canberra. He is the author of A History of Korea (Third Edition, 2021), Past Forward: Essays in Korean History (2019), Rationalizing Korea: The Rise of the Modern State (2015), and Beyond Birth: Social Status in the Emergence of Modern Korea (2004).

La haine possède une histoire : ses expressions, ses modalités, ses logiques, ses objets et ses effets ne sont ni identiques ni immuables. Cet essai replace cette passion funeste dans son époque et cerne ses raisons évoquées par les contemporains. Si la haine est à sa manière une forme de rationalité permettant de se mouvoir dans l'univers social, elle est une « figure du pensable » et un ressort psychologique déterminant, donnant la possibilité de comprendre ce qui anime les individus et les sociétés.

"Knowledge of the pragmatici sheds new light on pragmatic normative literature (mainly from the religious sphere), a genre crucial for the formation of normative orders in early modern Ibero-America. Long underrated by legal historical scholarship, these media - manuals for confessors, catechisms, and moral theological literature - selected and localised normative knowledge for the colonial worlds and thus shaped the language of normativity. The eleven chapters of this book explore the circulation and the uses of pragmatic normative texts in the Iberian peninsula, in New Spain, Peru, New Granada and Brazil. The book reveals the functions and intellectual achievements of pragmatic literature, which condensed normative knowledge, drawing on medieval scholarly practices of 'epitomisation', and links the genre with early modern legal culture. Contributors are: Manuela Bragagnolo, Agusti´n Casagrande, Otto Danwerth, Thomas Duve, Jose´ Luis Egi´o, Renzo Honores, Gustavo Ce´sar Machado Cabral, Pilar Meji´a, Christoph H. F. Meyer, Osvaldo Moutin, and David Rex Galindo"--

Die Kriegs- und Militärgeschichte der Französischen Revolution ist bislang überwiegend als ein spezieller, in sich geschlossener Bereich der Revolutionsgeschichte betrachtet worden. Kruses Diskursanalyse zeigt sie hingegen als einen wichtigen Bestandteil des revolutionären Prozesses. Deutlich werden die komplexen Beziehungsgeflechte und Wirkungsverhältnisse zwischen der revolutionären Bewegung, der bewaffneten Macht und dem Krieg. Einerseits entstand eine neuartige, revolutionäre Konzeption des Krieges. Andererseits wurde die Revolution durch ihre wachsende Identifikation mit dem Krieg geprägt und die Verhältnisse zwischen ziviler Gesellschaft und Militär revolutionär umgestaltet. Wesentliche Entscheidungen und Entwicklungen im revolutionären Prozess (die frühe Radikalisierung, der Sturz der Monarchie, der Aufstieg Bonapartes ...) müssen vor diesem Hintergrund neu interpretiert werden. Der Kriegsdiskurs der Französischen Revolution offenbart sich schließlich als ein Anfangspunkt des modernen Militarismus. Wolfgang Kruse ist Privatdozent am Historischen Institut der Fernuniversität Hagen.
