"L'Alsace est un déchirement. Ou plutôt un trait d'union. Tout au long de son histoire, cette région 'Janus' tiraillée entre France et Allemagne a souffert des douleurs des grandes fractures européennes, et célébré l'unité du continent par sa culture, sa joie de vivre, et l'ambition de Strasbourg, sa capitale. L'Alsace, dont les cabaretiers ont toujours rythmé la vie publique, est d'abord une volonté : celle de ses habitants d'affirmer, envers et contre tous, leur identité métisse et pourtant si française. Ce pays du milieu dit la France, car elle est sa fenêtre sur l'autre Europe : protestante, germanique, dure au mal, où la rigueur du climat cesse lorsque s'ouvrent les portes des winstubs. Elle dit aussi le vieux continent, dont elle porte les blessures en elle. Ce petit livre n'est pas un guide, même s'il promène le lecteur au fil des contreforts alsaciens, jusque dans ses typiques marchés de Noël! Il dit l'âme de l'Alsace et celle des Alsaciens. Parce que pour comprendre ce peuple-là, romantique et taiseux, il faut d'abord apprendre à l'écouter." -- Back cover.

"Il faut entendre l'aspiration de nombreux Catalans à l'indépendance. Mais entendre ne veut pas dire comprendre, encore moins accepter. Entendre, c'est regarder en face les méandres du passé d'une Espagne bien moins monolithique que l'affirme son élite madrilène. La Catalogne n'est pas un rêve dénué de sens et de réalité. Une force existe dans cette région qu'irrigue la puissante Barcelone. Elle agite l'arrière-pays, réveille les traditions ancestrales et bat au rythme d'une langue symbole d'identité. Cette Catalogne-là n'est pas celle des harangues politiques. Elle ne se résume pas à un référendum ou au destin personnel de militants incarcérés. Elle forme un brasier de passions, enracinées dans l'histoire. Ce petit livre n'est pas un guide. Il est un décodeur des passions catalanes. Parce que l'identité, en terre ibérique, est une quête toujours recommencée. Un grand récit suivi d'entretiens avec Joan Baptista Culla, Marina Subirats Martori et Josep Ramoneda."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Over the centuries, historiography — in many different forms — became an important vehicle by which to create, articulate, and express the existence, awareness, and characteristics of Europe’s regions. Be it the histories of noble families that were important stakeholders in a region, urban histories describing the developing urban networks through which regions could function, dynastic histories emphasizing the relationship between ruler and region, or hagiographies describing holy men and women and their veneration as focal points within regions — all of them represented and reflected identities within an understood spatial and or mental sphere. Historiography can therefore help us to understand the way in which regions were seen from within and from without, and to understand the patterns and dynamics of regional cohesion. Moreover, it sheds light on the dialectic between nation and region, and on the relationship between the regional sphere and the wider (inter)national sphere. The authors of this volume look at individual European regions from different points of view, using historiography as a lens. They analyse the ways in which history as a construct has played a role in establishing regional identity, providing examples of the ways in which recording, interpreting, and recounting the history of regions through the ages has been instrumental in shaping these regions. The first section of the volume explores regional identity in medieval and early modern historiography; the second shows how, in the age of the invention and triumph of the European nation-state (the long nineteenth century), historiography of a new kind was applied for a deliberate creation of regional identity, or at least reflected the need for a historical confirmation of identities.

Coins were the most deliberate of all symbols of public communal identities, yet the Roman historian will look in vain for any good introduction to, or systematic treatment of, the subject. Sixteen leading international scholars have sought to address this need by producing this authoritative collection of essays, which ranges over the whole Roman world from Britain to Egypt, from 200 BC to AD 300. The subject is approached through surveys of the broad geographical and chronological structure of the evidence, through chapters which focus on ways of expressing identity, and through regional studies which place the numismatic evidence in local context.
