Revolution Beyond the Event brings togetherleading international anthropologists alongside emerging scholarsto examine revolutionary legacies from the MENA region, LatinAmerica and the Caribbean. It explores the idea that revolutionshave varied afterlives that complicate the assumptions about theirduration, pace and progression, and argues that a renewed focus onthe temporality of radical politics is essential to ourunderstanding of revolution. Approaching revolution through itsrelationship to time, the book is a critical intervention intoattempts to define revolutions as bounded events that act assequential transitions from one political system to another. Itpursues an ethnographically driven rethinking of the temporalhorizons that are at stake in revolutionary processes, arguing thatlinear views of revolution are inextricably tied to notions ofprogress and modernity. Through a careful selection of casestudies, the book provides a critical perspective on the livedrealities of revolutionary afterlives, challenging the liberalhumanist assumptions implicit in the 'modern' idea of revolution,and reappraising the political agency of people caught up inrevolutionary situations across a variety of ethnographic contexts.

Bien qu'il soit surtout connu pour son œuvre fondatrice d'écrivain, J.R.R. Tolkien était également un universitaire réputé, spécialiste d'anglais médiéval, philologue, polyglotte. Son légendaire, autant que ses travaux académiques, n'ont de cesse de toucher au cœur du langage et du récit - qu'ils considèrent comme inextricablement liés - et en dévoilent des aspects multiples et divers, qu'il serait impossible d'épuiser. Si, dans l'imaginaire collectif, l'affiliation bien réelle de l'œuvre tolkienienne au genre littéraire de la fantasy paraît en exclure une approche plus académique, de nombreux travaux (thèses, ouvrages, articles, colloques ...) ne lui en ont pas moins été consacrés depuis plus d'une vingtaine d'années.

Title in English: Andrej Melicherčík - personality in time, time in personality. The publication is dedicated to one of the founding personalities of modern professional ethnography and folklore studies - prof. PhDr. A. Melicherčík, CSc. (1917-1966). The author has collected and interpreted numerous factual data about Melicherčík´s university studies at the Faculty of Arts of the Slovak University, but especially about his work at Matica slovenská, at the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Arts and at the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University. She characterizes his numerous activities in the field of organization of scientific life and pedagogical work. The author pays special attention to the methodological approaches that A. Melicherčík applied in his scientific work - functional structuralism and historical materialism. In both approaches, he was the initiator of their application in ethnography and folklore studies in Slovakia. The author analyses his work chronologically - studies, monographs and synthetic publications in terms of concepts, research topics and the organizational grasp of their research and publication. She points out the possible influences of scientific personalities (P. G. Bogatyriov, B. Schier et al.), as well as the non-scientific circumstances that influenced Melicherčík's understanding of the subject, methods and instrumentalization of ethnography and folklore studies.
