Abstract

"Europe's national museums have since their creation been at the centre of on-going nation making processes. National museums negotiate conflicts and contradictions and entrain the community sufficiently to obtain the support of scientists and art connoisseurs, citizens and taxpayers, policy makers, domestic and foreign visitors alike. National Museums and Nation-building in Europe 1750-2010 assess the national museum as a manifestation of cultural and political desires, rather than that a straightforward representation of the historical facts of a nation. National Museums and Nation-building in Europe 1750-2010 examines the degree to which national museums have created models and representations of nations, their past, present and future, and proceeds to assess the consequences of such attempts. Revealing how different types of nations and states--former empires, monarchies, republics, pre-modern, modern or post-imperial entities--deploy and prioritise different types of museums (based on art, archaeology, culture and ethnography) in their making, this book constitutes the first comprehensive and comparative perspective on national museums in Europe and their intricate relationship to the making of nations and states"--

Abstract

Simultaneously real and unreal, the dead are people, yet they are not. The society of medieval Europe developed a rich set of imaginative traditions about death and the afterlife, using the dead as a point of entry for thinking about the self, regeneration, and loss. These macabre preoccupations are evident in the widespread popularity of stories about the returned dead, who interacted with the living both as disembodied spirits and as living corpses or revenants. In Afterlives, Nancy Mandeville Caciola explores this extraordinary phenomenon of the living's relationship with the dead in Europe during the five hundred years after the year 1000.Caciola considers both Christian and pagan beliefs, showing how certain traditions survived and evolved over time, and how attitudes both diverged and overlapped through different contexts and social strata. As she shows, the intersection of Christian eschatology with various pagan afterlife imaginings-from the classical paganisms of the Mediterranean to the Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and Scandinavian paganisms indigenous to northern Europe-brought new cultural values about the dead into the Christian fold as Christianity spread across Europe. Indeed, the Church proved surprisingly open to these influences, absorbing new images of death and afterlife in unpredictable fashion. Over time, however, the persistence of regional cultures and beliefs would be counterbalanced by the effects of an increasingly centralized Church hierarchy. Through it all, one thing remained constant: the deep desire in medieval people to bring together the living and the dead into a single community enduring across the generations.

Abstract

Pourquoi en France a-t-on donné la priorité à l'étude de la parenté, et dans les pays de langue allemande à celle de la narration populaire ? Quels rapports entretiennent l'ethnologie française avec l'histoire et celle de langue allemande avec le politique ? De quelle manière étudie-t-on, ici et là, les faits symboliques et religieux, et qu'entend-on par symbolismes populaires ? Quels objets de recherche, quels problèmes sollicitent aujourd'hui les ethnologues ? Ce sont là quelqu'unes des interrogations auxquelles on a cherché à répondre dans ce face à face. Les quatorze essais présentés ici dégagent en miroir l'originalité, et les divergences, de ces deux écoles majeures de l'ethnologie de l'Europe. Les auteurs passent en revue les objets d'étude, les méthodes, les principales orientations théoriques, l'histoire mais aussi l'avenir de cette discipline désignée, selon le lieu et le moment, par les termes d'etimologie, Volkskunde, folklore ou arts et traditions populaires. Mais, par delà le tableau des originalités et différences dans l'ethnologie de ces deux aires linguistiques, cet ouvrage ouvre une brèche dans le mur d'ignorance réciproque qui sépare les ethnologues de l'une et l'autre langue : tâche primordiale si l'on veut comprendre le champ des civilisations européennes.
