L'architecture est matériau avant que d'être forme. L'histoire traditionnelle de l'architecture tend à faire oublier cette évidence au bénéfice d'une approche dominée par des concepts stylistiques. Or ceux-ci s'avèrent toujours impropres à rendre compte de l'extraordinaire complexité du mouvement créatif qui conduit le génie humain à passer du produit manufacturé de base - ici la brique - à l'œuvre d'art qui constitue l'église, la porte de ville, le château ou la maison médiévale. L'enjeu de cet ouvrage est de montrer comment la brique s'est imposée en Espagne comme matériau de construction à la fin de l'époque médiévale, au terme d'un parcours historique au cours duquel elle fut, tour à tour et de manière infiniment variée, appréciée pour ses qualités pratiques, architectoniques, décoratives, mais aussi, de façon plus ambiguë ou subtile, pour sa légèreté, son coût modéré, sa valeur plastique, esthétique, voire idéologique. Une appréciation nuancée des caractéristiques et des modalités d'emploi du matériau, basée sur un vaste corpus d'œuvres architecturales, est seule en mesure de faire comprendre les raisons de son succès et de remettre en question un certain nombre de poncifs qui nuisent à la juste appréciation du rôle majeur joué par la brique dans l'histoire de l'architecture espagnole.

"L'idée d'architecture est aujourd'hui universellement partagée. Qu'en était-il au Moyen Âge au Japon et en Europe? Comment percevait-on alors les abbatiales romanes et les cathédrales gothiques, les temples Zen et le style Grand Bouddha? Et, de nos jours, quelle perception de l'architecture médiévale ont les historiens de l'art en Europe et au Japon? Le XIXe siècle a insisté sur les convergences entre les cultures japonaises et européennes. Ne faut-il pas réévaluer les différences, qui sont aussi des signatures culturelles? Ces questions, qui trouvent une application concrète dans la conservation du patrimoine médiéval, toujours vivant, engagent profondément notre présent"--Back cover.

Per Roma, un libro come questo è forse più necessario che per altre città trattate nella presente collana. A Roma, infatti, il medioevo è nascosto. Se si eccettuano alcune chiese e una manciata di torri, il medioevo rischia di sfuggire anche al più colto dei visitatori. Il grande sviluppo edilizio della città nel Rinascimento e in età barocca, l'urbanistica post-unitaria e fascista che ha alterato a fondo la rete stradale e distrutto tanti monumenti medievali, ancor di più la passione antiquaria e archeologica per il mondo antico, che ha serenamente trascurato le stratigrafie medievali e sistematicamente spinto a "liberare" dalle aggiunte successive ogni monumento della Roma antica: tutti questi elementi spiegano perché il medioevo sembri scomparso dal paesaggio di Roma. Cancellata sotto il profilo edilizio e urbano, la Roma medievale ha inoltre sofferto a lungo di disinteresse e anche di discredito culturale. Per molti storici, la reale natura della città doveva essere quella di scenario all'affermazione del grande potere spirituale e universale del papato. Le concrete vicende della società, dell'economia e della politica cittadine poco interessavano, o addirittura venivano valutate negativamente. Tante volte Roma medievale è stata presentata come una città in declino, parassitaria, avida delle ricchezze della cristianità, grettamente contrapposta alla sua vera missione storica, ospitare e sostenere il monarca della cristianità tutta. Invece l'eredità della fase medievale della storia cittadina è molteplice, onnipresente, di indubbia importanza. Occorre però saperla riconoscere, abbandonando giudizi e disinteressi ormai datati e accettando di affrontare, sia pure in forma semplificata, le grandi discussioni scientifiche di cui Roma medievale è stata ed è oggetto, più di qualsiasi altro centro. Come va interpretato il passaggio al medioevo in quella che era stata la creatrice dell'Impero? Che ruolo ha realmente avuto il papato nella vita cittadina? Che significato dare alle pulsioni autonomistiche della cittadinanza verso il suo vescovo e gli imperatori medievali? Negli ultimi decenni, ricerche e dibattiti sono andati moltiplicandosi. Le nostre conoscenze sono enormemente cresciute. Il merito, oltre agli storici e agli esperti delle fonti scritte, spetta agli archeologi. Specialmente a partire dagli anni Ottanta del secolo scorso Roma è stata oggetto di fondamentali campagne archeologiche, che hanno indagato a fondo anche le stratigrafie medievali. La quantità di informazioni delle quali disponiamo è quindi cresciuta in modo esponenziale. Qualsiasi ricostruzione che non tenga conto nella stessa misura delle testimonianze scritte, iconografiche, storico artistiche ed archeologiche, non sarà quindi che decisamente parziale. La lettura integrata di queste diverse fonti permette invece di evitare facili stereotipi interpretativi: decadenza e collasso, rinascita, parassitismo economico e così via. Proprio l'ampiezza delle nuove conoscenze e il loro carattere multidisciplinare spiega, infine, perché questo libro sia frutto della collaborazione di studiosi di formazione diversa, esperti di storia socio-economica e istituzionale, di storia della documentazione scritta e delle sue pratiche di produzione e conservazione, delle fonti materiali. Solo l'unione di specialisti diversi può restituire in tutta la sua complessità la ricca eredità medievale di Roma.

Anatolia was home to a large number of polities in the medieval period. Given its location at the geographical and chronological juncture between Byzantines and the Ottomans, its story tends to be read through the Seljuk experience. This obscures the multiple experiences and spaces of Anatolia under the Byzantine empire, Turko-Muslim dynasties contemporary to the Seljuks, the Mongol Ilkhanids, and the various beyliks of eastern and western Anatolia.
This book looks beyond political structures and towards a reconsideration of the interactions between the rural and the urban; an analysis of the relationships between architecture, culture and power; and an examination of the region's multiple geographies. In order to expand historiographical perspectives it draws on a wide variety of sources (architectural, artistic, documentary and literary), including texts composed in several languages (Arabic, Armenian, Byzantine Greek, Persian and Turkish). Original in its coverage of this period from the perspective of multiple polities, religions and languages, this volume is also the first to truly embrace the cultural complexity that was inherent in the reality of daily life in medieval Anatolia and surrounding regions.

Die hochmittelalterlichen Fernstraßen nach Rom, allen voran die bekannte Via Francigena, dienten als multifunktionale Transferlinien der religiösen, politischen und künstlerischen Kommunikation. Entlang der italienischen Streckenabschnitte, an den brisantesten Kulminationspunkten des Konflikts zwischen dem römisch-deutschen Kaiser und dem Papst, wurde im 12. Jahrhundert unter der Ägide kaiserlicher Statthalter mit architektonischen Gestaltmotiven unterschiedlichster Herkunft und Konnotation experimentiert. Das Buch wirft ein neues Licht auf den Bedeutungsgehalt der außergewöhnlichsten und zugleich exemplarischen Bauten, und es entwickelt ein ikonologisches Modell zur Analyse ästhetischer Spiegelungen kontextueller Prozesse in der mittelalterlichen Architektur im Allgemeinen.

The 18th annual meeting of the Symposium on Mediterranean Archaeology (SOMA) was held in Wroclaw-Poland, 24th to 26th April 2014. Since prehistoric times the Mediterranean has acted as a stage for intense interactions between groups inhabiting regions that are now studied mainly within various sub-fields of ancient studies. In recent years, however, the development of research techniques and analytical models of archaeological evidence have identified similar historical paths that are similar, if not, in some cases, common to these disparate areas of the ancient world from West (Iberian peninsula) to East (Anatolia and Levant), from North (Europe, Black Sea Coast) to South (Maghreb and Egypt). The 18th SOMA provided a forum for presentations related to the above-mentioned topics, as well as general themes such as the role of the sea, trade, colonization, even piracy, using archaeological data collected within contexts associated with the Mediterranean Basin and the area referred to as the Ancient Near East, ranging chronologically from the Prehistoric to Medieval periods. This current volume contains 22 papers selected from the 90 presented.
