Abstract

La société urbaine des Pays-Bas méridionaux a développé, au bas Moyen Age, une culture politique profondément originale. Son importance dans l'histoire européenne et son rayonnement dans les espaces densément urbanisés du Continent sont inversement proportionnels à la méconnaissance persistante dont elle fait l'objet dans l'érudition francophone. Il est vrai que la dernière vision globale qui en a été donnée en français est celle d'Henri Pirenne. En dialogue avec ce grand prédécesseur, Marc Boone renouvelle et approfondit le regard sur l'activité politique et idéologique des grandes villes de nos régions, à partir de la fin du XIIIe siècle. Il intègre l'analyse de leurs dynamiques sociales internes et celle de leurs rapports fluctuants avec les princes, à propos de l'exercice du pouvoir. Il montre le rôle central tenu par les élites corporatives dans la construction des identités urbaines. Il compare ses observations avec celles d'une vaste historiographie urbaine européenne. En résulte un ouvrage personnel et neuf par ses interprétations et ses angles d'attaque mais aussi une précieuse synthèse des avancées récentes en histoire urbaine des Pays-Bas. Celles-ci sont, pour l'essentiel, contenues dans des articles en langue néerlandaise, peu accessible à un large lectorat international.

Abstract

Das Kultgeschehen repräsentiert einen zentralen Aspekt des religiösen Lebens in der mittelalterlichen Stadt. Prozessionen, Wallfahrten und ritualisierte Zeremonien prägen und regeln das Miteinander sozialer Gruppen und zielen gleichzeitig auf die Heiligung städtischer Ordnung. Der vorliegende Sammelband nähert sich dem Phänomen städtischer Kulte und Heiligkeitskonzeptionen in interdisziplinären und vergleichend angelegten Beiträgen. Die Aufsätze unternehmen dabei nicht nur Streifzüge durch das mittelalterliche Europa, sondern beziehen schlaglichtartig auch den außereuropäischen Raum mit ein: Themen sind u.a. die Regensburger Schutzheiligen und ihre Kultgesänge, Bilder und Rituale karitativer Einrichtungen in Rom, die Prager Reliquiensammlung Kaiser Karls IV., aber auch Prozessionsrituale im mittelalterlichen Japan. Die verbindende Leitfrage ist jeweils, welche Wechselwirkungen sich zwischen mittelalterlichen Kulten einerseits und städtischem Gemeinwesen, städtischer Topographie und Architektur andererseits ergeben. Das Spektrum reicht von den Geschichts-, Kunst- und Musikwissenschaften bis zur Judaistik.

Abstract

Traditionally confined to the sphere of the State and of auctoritas, the phrase the “Common Good” is set to conquer the cities in the late Middle Ages and at the beginning of the Early Modern period. But can we compare a kingdom like France where the cities defend their “Common Good” by making reference to the interest and benefit of the Kingdom with principalities like Flanders where, despite their fierce desire for autonomy, the cities use the notion with much greater reservation than their Italian counterparts? This volume traces the intellectual and theoretical roots that have led to the emergence of the notion of the “Common Good” in the urban world of Western Europe by analysing the practical forms of its manifestations.

Abstract

The growth of urban life in the Middle Ages led to a flourishing of performance, drama and spectacle as we understand them today. Here is presented, for the first time, a collection of commissioned essays whose goal is to bring together a broad variety of interdisciplinary, innovative 'snapshots' from different geographical locations, time frames, traditions and scholarly fields. Contributors to Performance, Drama, Spectacle and the Medieval City are scholars of international prominence. Through their diverse interests, but single focus, the fundamental mobility of medieval culture is acknowledged. The collective aim in honouring Alan Hindley and his ongoing work is to produce a set of variations which offer diversity yet coherence. Performance and spectacle played a central role not only in the realm of urban entertainment, but also adopted enormously important civic and religious functions. The cities in the medieval west were both a hotbed of cultural manifestations, and elemental in the development of drama. In its refusal to accept subjective boundaries and its broad assumption that drama takes many forms, it is hoped that Performance, Drama, Spectacle and the Medieval City will find favour with its dedicatee, and imitate his wisdom and openness by enabling dialogue between traditions, critical approaches, and moments in time.

Abstract

Cities, Texts and Social Networks examines the experiences of urban life from late antiquity through the close of the fifteenth century, in regions ranging from late Imperial Rome to Muslim Syria, Iraq and al-Andalus, England, the territories of medieval Francia, Flanders, the Low Countries, Italy and Germany. Together, the volume's contributors move beyond attempts to define 'the city' in purely legal, economic or religious terms. Instead, they focus on modes of organisation, representation and identity formation that shaped the ways urban spaces were called into being, used and perceived. Their interdisciplinary analyses place narrative and archival sources in communication with topography, the built environment and evidence of sensory stimuli in order to capture sights, sounds, physical proximities and power structures. Paying close attention to the delineation of public and private spaces, and secular and sacred precincts, each chapter explores the workings of power and urban discourse and their effects on the making of meaning. The volume as a whole engages theoretical discussions of urban space - its production, consumption, memory and meaning - which too frequently misrepresent the evidence of the Middle Ages. It argues that the construction and use of medieval urban spaces could foster the emergence of medieval 'public spheres' that were fundamental components and by-products of pre-modern urban life. The resulting collection contributes to longstanding debates among historians while tackling fundamental questions regarding medieval society and the ways it is understood today. Many of these questions will resonate with scholars of postcolonial or 'non-Western' cultures whose sources and cities have been similarly marginalized in discussions of urban space and experience. And because these essays reflect a considerable geographical, temporal and methodological scope, they model approaches to the study of urban history that will interest a wide range of readers.
