Founded in 1977 as the publication organ for the Fifteenth-Century Symposia, 'Fifteenth-Century Studies' offers essays on diverse aspects of the 15th century, including liberal and fine arts, historiography, medicine, and religion. Designed as a 'Festschrift' honoring Edelgard E. DuBruck, the current volume focuses on the importance and praise of late-medieval women. Topics include Christine de Pizan's response to Boccaccio's 'De Mulieribus Claris,' the figures of Melibea and Celestina in 'La Celestina,' Catalan love poetry, the Nine Muses in Le Franc's 'Champion des Dames,' and artistic praise of the Virgin Mary. Other topics include a wellness guide for late-medieval seniors, women's sins of the tongue and Villon's 'Testament,' the stoic tradition seen in a farewell letter, medicine and magic, and book-burning. An article demonstrates Bertrand Du Guesclin's extraordinary valor, and two essays on Chaucer explore chivalry and violence in 'The Knight's Tale' and Troilus's withdrawal at the end of 'Troilus and Criseyde'.

In 1981, the European and World Values surveys started the empirical investigations of value orientations on a global scale. This volume builds on these surveys, which now cover a time period of a quarter of a century. Two chapters discuss basic theoretical and methodological issues of value research, while four chapters focus on contemporary processes of value change: cultural globalization, individualization, secularization and democratization. These analyses of the data from the value surveys give new life to social science classics such as Tocqueville, Durkheim, Marx and Weber. The analyses are also of interest to the practitioners of economic and social development as well as educational and cultural policies. Contributors include: Chris Cochran, Yilmaz Esmer, Ronald Inglehart, Neil Nevitte, Shalom Schwartz, Thorleif Pettersson and Christian Welzel. This book was originally published as Volume 5 numbers 2-3 (2006) of Brill's journal ‘Comparative Sociology'.

Pourquoi référons-nous "naturellement" la culture et les arts à un public et à des spectateurs ? Pourquoi, dans le même temps, disposons-nous, non moins "naturellement", la politique autour de cette référence au public ? Pour répondre à ces questions, il fallait reconstruire le processus d'invention du public et du spectateur. En parcourant les descriptions des attitudes du spectateur, les règles qui les disciplinent, on s'aperçoit que l'esthétique, domaine de la sensibilité, n'est pas dissociable de la réflexion sur le spectateur et la démocratie parlementaire. La formulation moderne de l'adresse au public et au spectateur fonde les rapports entre la culture, les arts et la politique en les nouant à l'esthétique. Mais tandis que cette dernière se déploie dans une perspective égalitaire, elle n'est pas sans jouer le rôle d'une discrète mise au pas morale et politique du sujet.
