Abstract

In the 1960s and 1970s, Western Europe's "Golden Age" (Eric Hobsbawm), a new youth consciousness emerged, which gave this period its distinctive character. Offering rich and new material, this volume moves beyond the easy conflation of youth culture and "Americanization" and instead sets out to show, for the first time, how international developments fused with national traditions to produce specific youth cultures that became the leading trendsetters of emergent post-industrial Western societies. It presents a multi-faceted portrait of European youth cultures, colored by differences in gender, class, and education, and points out the tension between emerging consumerism and growing politicisation, succinctly expressed by Jean-Luc Godard in his 1967 pairing of "Marx and Coca-Cola."--

Abstract

This text argues that sexual difference has its own psychological and physiological reality, which must affect the way we write history. These essays deal with the nature of masculinity and femininity, the importance of the irrational and unconscious in history, the cultural impact of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and the central role of magic and witchcraft in the psychic and emotional world of the early modern period. It aims to define a different route towards understanding the body, and its relationship to culture and subjectivity.

Abstract

Simultaneously real and unreal, the dead are people, yet they are not. The society of medieval Europe developed a rich set of imaginative traditions about death and the afterlife, using the dead as a point of entry for thinking about the self, regeneration, and loss. These macabre preoccupations are evident in the widespread popularity of stories about the returned dead, who interacted with the living both as disembodied spirits and as living corpses or revenants. In Afterlives, Nancy Mandeville Caciola explores this extraordinary phenomenon of the living's relationship with the dead in Europe during the five hundred years after the year 1000.Caciola considers both Christian and pagan beliefs, showing how certain traditions survived and evolved over time, and how attitudes both diverged and overlapped through different contexts and social strata. As she shows, the intersection of Christian eschatology with various pagan afterlife imaginings-from the classical paganisms of the Mediterranean to the Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and Scandinavian paganisms indigenous to northern Europe-brought new cultural values about the dead into the Christian fold as Christianity spread across Europe. Indeed, the Church proved surprisingly open to these influences, absorbing new images of death and afterlife in unpredictable fashion. Over time, however, the persistence of regional cultures and beliefs would be counterbalanced by the effects of an increasingly centralized Church hierarchy. Through it all, one thing remained constant: the deep desire in medieval people to bring together the living and the dead into a single community enduring across the generations.

Abstract

Pourquoi en France a-t-on donné la priorité à l'étude de la parenté, et dans les pays de langue allemande à celle de la narration populaire ? Quels rapports entretiennent l'ethnologie française avec l'histoire et celle de langue allemande avec le politique ? De quelle manière étudie-t-on, ici et là, les faits symboliques et religieux, et qu'entend-on par symbolismes populaires ? Quels objets de recherche, quels problèmes sollicitent aujourd'hui les ethnologues ? Ce sont là quelqu'unes des interrogations auxquelles on a cherché à répondre dans ce face à face. Les quatorze essais présentés ici dégagent en miroir l'originalité, et les divergences, de ces deux écoles majeures de l'ethnologie de l'Europe. Les auteurs passent en revue les objets d'étude, les méthodes, les principales orientations théoriques, l'histoire mais aussi l'avenir de cette discipline désignée, selon le lieu et le moment, par les termes d'etimologie, Volkskunde, folklore ou arts et traditions populaires. Mais, par delà le tableau des originalités et différences dans l'ethnologie de ces deux aires linguistiques, cet ouvrage ouvre une brèche dans le mur d'ignorance réciproque qui sépare les ethnologues de l'une et l'autre langue : tâche primordiale si l'on veut comprendre le champ des civilisations européennes.

Abstract

Engaging with current academic debates over the complexities and pluralities of gender identity in the Middle Ages, this volume is one of the first collections to show how the themes of gender construction, subversion and transformation are applicable to a wide range of fields. The methodologies used in this volume are relevant both to specialists of the Middle Ages and early modern periods, and to scholars working more broadly in fields that draw on contemporary gender studies.
