The growth of nations, national ideologies and the accompanying quest for the ‘authentic’ among ‘the people’ has been a subject of enquiry for many disciplines. Building upon wide-ranging scholarship, this interdisciplinary study seeks to analyse the place of folklore in the long nineteenth century throughout Europe as an important symbol in the growth and development of nations and nationalism, and in particular to see how combining perspectives from History, Literary Studies, Music and Architecture can help provide enhanced and refreshing perspectives on the complex process of nation-building. With a range of detailed case studies drawing upon archival, literary, visual and musical sources as well as material culture, it raises questions about individual countries but also about links and similarities across Europe.

Les études réunies sous le titre La beauté et ses monstres sont nées d'un constat de rupture entre l'idéal platonicien qui posait l'alliance étroite du Beau et du Bien et les pratiques esthétiques des XVIe, XVIIe siècles. La poétique baroque, expression d'une crise de la pensée analogique et de l'idéalisme platonicien, procède en effet d'une reconnaissance implicite de la dangereuse contiguïté entre le beau et le monstrueux et trouve son originalité créatrice dans la mise en mouvement de formes « dépravées », dans l'invention de formes qui contreviennent aux lois de la « proportion ». Métamorphoses et anamorphoses jouent de cette virtualité du monstmeux latent en toute forme parfaite qu'un rien peut déformer, déjouant toute tentative de figier des rhétoriques littéraires ou d'immobiliser des genres dans une codification rigoureuse. De même, par l'attraction qu'elle exerce, tant physique que métaphysique, la beauté a suscité la défiance devant l'envers toujours possible de cet attrait, la séduction par une beauté frelatée ou trompeuse. L'étrange et fascinante intimité entre la beauté et ses monstres fonde de la cohérence d'une dynamique de recherche par-delà la variété des angles d'analyse adoptés et la contiguïté entre le beau et le monstrueux apparaît bel et bien comme facteur supplémentaire d'unité dans l'expression de la sensibilité baroque. Ce volume, à ce titre, est une contribution à l'histoire d'une esthétique liée à cette sensibilité et aux paradoxes par lesquels elle trouve à s'exprimer, paradoxes qu'implique la saisie unifiée d'éléments contradictoires. C'est une illustration de plus, s'il en fallait, d'une crise de la représentation qui a trouvé dans une esthétique de la discordia concors ou de la coincidentia oppositorum sa réponse la plus pertinente, sa « monstrueuse beauté »

"Who are the Europeans? How do they think? What values do they hold dear? What binds them and what divides them? This atlas summarizes the outcomes of the European Values Study, combined with results from the World Values Survey, two projects that have measured values over the past three decades." "The European Values Study project is run by researchers from 33 countries and is administered by Tilburg University, the Netherlands." "The Atlas presents European ideas and beliefs in the form of graphs, charts and maps. Values such as democracy, freedom, equality, human dignity and solidarity are held by almost all Europeans, but the survey points to differing views about marriage, religion, work and such topics as euthanasia, happiness, sexuality and death." "This unique Atlas covers all European nations from Iceland to Turkey, from Portugal to the Ukraine. It graphically illustrates the rich diversity that is Europe."--Jacket.

This groundbreaking work examines engagement between people and the environment across a variety of themes, from aboriginal appropriation of nature to colonistsâ reworking of physical and conceptual geographies, demonstrating the consequences of these interactions as they permeated various social and cultural spheres. It offers a new lens for viewing a region as it provides fresh insight into such topics as landscape change, perceptions of place, and Indigenous-white relations. The Fraser Valley has long been a scene of natural resource appropriation--furs and fish, timber and agriculture--with settlement patterns and land claims centering on the use of these materials. Oliver demonstrates how social change and cultural understanding are tied to the way that people use and remake the landscape. Drawing on ethnographic texts, archaeological evidence, cartography, and historical writing, he has created a deep history of the valley that enables us to view how human entanglements with landscape were creative of a variety of contentious issues. By capturing the multiple dynamics that were operating in the past, Oliver shows us not only how landscape transformations were implicated in constructing different perceptions of place but also how such changes influenced peoplesâ understanding of history and identity. The Fraser Valley in British Columbia has been viewed historically as a typical setting of Indigenous-white interaction. Jeff Oliver now reexamines the social history of this region from pre-contact to the violent upheavals of nineteenth and early twentieth century colonialism to argue that the dominant discourses of progress and colonialism often mask the real social and physical process of change that occurred here--change that can be more meaningfully tied to transformations in the land.
