Abstract

L’islam apparut dans une Arabie peuplée de divinités et de djinns, auxquels les devins, poètes et guérisseurs avaient recours pour infléchir le destin des hommes. À partir du VIIIe siècle, une forme de magie savante, inspirée des héritages grecs, indiens et mésopotamiens, suscita l’engouement des califes et des élites. Cinq siècles plus tard, une autre voie, « la science des lettres et des carrés magiques » trouva un maître en la figure du soufi algérien, al-Būnī, auquel fut attribué un immense corpus promis à une importante postérité.Jean-Charles Coulon nous invite à découvrir ici un ensemble de sources indispensables à la compréhension de ce savoir fascinant au confluent de plusieurs traditions. Il montre comment les traditions magiques arabes se sont adaptées à l’évolution des sciences promues par les hautes sphères du pouvoir tout au long du Moyen Âge.

Abstract

Ce volume réunit douze études de cas : des vies d?architectes européens, écrites par des historiens de l?art et de l?architecture allemands, espagnols, français, italiens, russes, suédois. Il s?agit d?architectes qui, nés et éduqués dans une culture, héritiers d?une ou plusieurs traditions nationales, ont travaillé à l?étranger, au sein d?une autre culture, en y apportant des éléments nouveaux. Ou encore de ceux qui vécurent leurs années de voyage comme une véritable expatriation. Ces architectes transfuges, cosmopolites, créateurs de confusions stylistiques qui posent tant de problèmes aux historiens de l?art et rompent les schémas des écoles nationales, furent en grande partie responsables de la création de l?Europe architecturale, architecturée et architecturante bien au-delà de ses propres limites. L?existence de cette ± Europe architecturale est l?hypothèse générale proposée ici. L?européanité de ces architectes italo-français ou italo-russe, franco-suédois ou hispano-mexicain, fut tantôt délibérée, exigée par le commanditaire ou la communauté d?accueil, tantôt une conséquence de leur vie comme ensemble de circonstances. Telle une réaction au besoin d?adaptation, cette dernière, complète ou partielle, a souvent donné lieu à une création inédite. Comment étudier, comprendre, décrire, classer leurs œuvres ? Pourrions-nous, en nous fondant sur ces cas, ébaucher une nouvelle histoire de l?architecture européenne ?

Abstract

International law has played a crucial role in the construction of imperial projects. Yet within the growing field of studies about the history of international law and empire, scholars have seldom considered this complicit relationship in the Americas. The Hidden History of International Law in the Americas offers the first exploration of the deployment of international law for the legitimization of U.S. ascendancy as an informal empire in Latin America. This book explores the intellectual history of a distinctive idea of American international law in the Americas, focusing principally on the evolution of the American Institute of International Law (AIIL). This organization was created by U.S. and Chilean jurists James Brown Scott and Alejandro Alvarez in Washington D.C. for the construction, development, and codification of international law across the Americas. Juan Pablo Scarfi examines the debates sparked by the AIIL over American international law, intervention and non-intervention, Pan-Americanism, the codification of public and private international law and the nature and scope of the Monroe Doctrine, as well as the international legal thought of Scott, Alvarez, and a number of jurists, diplomats, politicians, and intellectuals from the Americas. Professor Scarfi argues that American international law, as advanced primarily by the AIIL, was driven by a U.S.-led imperial aspiration of civilizing Latin America through the promotion of the international rule of law. By providing a convincing critical account of the legal and historical foundations of the Inter-American System, this book will stimulate debate among international lawyers, IR scholars, political scientists, and intellectual historians.

Abstract

"During the Vietnam War, ... a group of female American peace activists decided to take matters into their own hands and meet with Vietnamese women to discuss how to end U.S. intervention in Vietnam. ... [These] U.S. activists solicited Vietnamese women's opinions and advice on how to end the war and looked toward them as models for their own lives, viewing them as paragons of a new womanhood and a means by which to discuss their own subordination within their communities and U.S. society more broadly"

Abstract

De la pagode chinoise construite par l?architecte britannique William Chambers dans les jardins de Kew en Angleterre aux palais baroques européens conçus par le peintre et missionnaire jésuite Giuseppe Castiglione pour le jardin impérial Yuanmingyuan (jardin de la Clarté parfaite) à Pékin, l?histoire moderne des relations sino-européennes a montré que l?Europe et la Chine n?ont cessé de se tendre le miroir au cours des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. La Chine au miroir de l?Europe, l?Europe au miroir de la Chine : cet ouvrage explore le sens multiple de l?entrelacs des regards entre ces deux contrées, et propose de faire le récit d?une fascination mutuelle, en expliquant les modalités culturelles spécifiques du regard porté sur l?Autre.
