Abstract

The NESAT symposium has grown from the first meeting in 1981 which was attended by 23 scholars, to over 100 at the tenth meeting that took place in Copenhagen in 2008, with virtually all areas of Europe represented. The 50 papers from the conference presented here show the vibrance of the study of archaeological textiles today. Examples studied come from the Bronze Age, Neolithic, the Iron Age, Roman, Viking, the Middle Ages and post-Medieval, and from a wide range of countries including Norway, Czech Republic, Poland, Greece, Germany, Lithuania, Estonia and the Netherlands.

Abstract

"This book traces the development of 'community archaeology', identifying both its advantages and disadvantages by describing how and why tensions have arisen between archaeological and community understandings of the past. The focus of the book is the conceptual disjunction between heritage and data and the problems this poses for both archaeologists and communities in communicating and engaging with each other."--Jacket.

Abstract

Pourquoi, à l’automne de la Renaissance, Isaac Casaubon, intellectuel protestant, brillant et peu fortuné, décida-t-il de se consacrer aux textes grecs au point d’être salué par ses contemporains comme le meilleur helléniste de sa génération ? Quelle représentation se faisait-il de ces textes ? Comment justifia-t-il, à ses propres yeux comme à ceux d’autrui, de s’y spécialiser ? Hélène Parenty mène l’enquête sur ces questions et montre que, plus généralement, c’est la conception que l’on se fait à l’époque de l’étude des lettres – irréductible à notre moderne littérature – qui est en jeu. Grammaire ou polymathie, philologie ou “studia humanitatis” : cette science aux contours flous, peu valorisée institutionnellement, est en quête d’identité. Promouvoir le grec, à travers des discours, mais surtout des pratiques, c’est aussi en définir la discipline et lui ménager une place dans l’architecture des savoirs.
