Abstract

Ferdinand Adolf Gregorovius. the ... The little city has only one main street, which is newly built, and is called the Corso; an alley of elms gives it a singularly rural appearance ... how wild must have been that heroic scene! The action of Gaffori is one of the noblest traits to be found in the range of Corsican history, VOL. II.

Abstract

Pendant plus d’un demi-siècle, le Voyage en Italie de Taine a été considéré comme le bréviaire des voyageurs français. Composé de 1864 à 1866, rédigé dans un style précis et vigoureux, ce livre emmène le lecteur dans les grandes cités de l’Italie – Naples, Rome, Pérouse, Assise, Sienne, Pise, Florence, Bologne, Padoue, Venise – avant d’effectuer un ultime crochet par la Lombardie. Taine connaît tout des opinions, des passions et des préjugés qui – tant au Siècle des Lumières qu’à l’époque romantique – ont modelé l’image de la péninsule. Fort de sa propre expérience de voyageur, il a mis toute l’Italie dans un livre et a édifié la somme définitive à laquelle avaient rêvé, avant lui, la plupart des beaux esprits de l’Europe.En donnant à son récit de voyage la forme d’un journal, Taine nous fait partager, comme prises sur le vif, ses émotions artistiques, dans des pages enthousiastes, écrites au fil des découvertes de l’auteur et empreintes d'une profonde sensualité.Cette nouvelle édition, augmentée d’une préface de Michel Brix, est pour la première fois accompagnée d’un appareil de notes et d’un index.Ce classique mérite de redevenir le livre de chevet de tous les amoureux de l’Italie.

Abstract

Em 1466, quando Fernão Lopes de Carvalho, cavaleiro cidadão, ocupou a escrivaninha do concelho, foi-lhe dado encargo de tresladar documentação pretérita da câmara da cidade de Évora. Nasce, assim, o posteriormente designado Livro das Posturas Antigas, que, em 1662, outro escrivão da câmara, Francisco Cabral de Almada, "reduziu a livro", compilando os cadernos do seu antecessor. O códice, publicado parcialmente por Gabriel Pereira, encontra agora a sua formulação integral. Expressão do poder do concelho de Évora no período medievo, abarca principalmente cópia de atas da vereação da última metade do séc. XIV, de que resultaram as normas impostas pela cidade, ou seja as posturas propriamente ditas. Embora com falhas de alguns cadernos, perdidos entre o séc. XV e o XVII, este constitui-se como um texto fundamental na inteligibilidade da Cidade Medieval. Através das deliberações camarárias, cruzam-se os seus diferentes protagonistas - mulheres e homens, cristãos, muçulmanos e judeus -, expressam-se relações sociais e políticas, definem-se actividades económicas, descrevem-se técnicas, estabelecem-se preços, nomeiam-se espaços - sente-se, enfim, o pulsar vivo do quotidiano da urbe e do seu termo em finais do séc. XIV.

Abstract

"This edited collection focuses on Aboriginal and Māori travel in colonial contexts. Authors in this collection examine the ways that Indigenous people moved and their motivations for doing so. Chapters consider the cultural aspects of travel for Indigenous communities on both sides of the Tasman. Contributors examine Indigenous purposes for mobility, including for community and individual economic wellbeing, to meet other Indigenous or non-Indigenous peoples and experience different cultures, and to gather knowledge or experience, or to escape from colonial intrusion.‘This volume is the first to take up three challenges in histories of Indigenous mobilities. First, it analyses both mobility and emplacement. Challenging stereotypes of Indigenous people as either fixed or mobile, chapters deconstruct issues with ramifications for contemporary politics and analyses of Indigenous society and of rural and national histories. As such, it is a welcome intervention in a wide range of urgent issues. Second, by examining Indigenous peoples in both Australia and New Zealand, this volume is an innovative step in removing the artificial divisions that have arisen from “national” histories. Third, the collection connects the experiences of colonised Indigenous peoples with those of their colonisers, shifting the long-held stereotypes of Indigenous powerlessness. Chapters then convincingly demonstrate the agency of colonised peoples in shaping the actions and the mobility itself of the colonisers.While the volume overall is aimed at opening up new research questions, and so invites later and even more innovative work, this volume will stand as an important guide to the directions such future work might take.’— Heather Goodall, Professor Emerita, UTS"
