Abstract

Hendrik Conscience werd op 3 december 1812 in Antwerpen geboren. Zijn vader was Fransman en vocht als soldaat onder Napoleon, zijn moeder een Vlaamse die kon lezen noch schrijven. Dat de aanvankelijk ziekelijke Henri of Rik zou uitgroeien tot de belangrijkste literaire vertegenwoordiger van de romantiek in Vlaanderen lag niet bepaald in de lijn der verwachting. Dat men ooit van hem zou zeggen dat hij zijn volk leerde lezen nog veel minder. En toch. Karel Wauters werkte jarenlang aan een biografie van Conscience. Ziekte en een vroegtijdige dood beletten hem de monografie af te werken. Het Letterenhuis nam het op zich om in dit feestjaar van Consciences tweehonderdste geboortedag Wauters' 'Unvollendete' uit te geven. Basis voor Wauters' verhaal is Consciences in 1888 postuum gepubliceerde autobiografische 'Geschiedenis mijner jeugd'. Deze leidraad wordt door Wauters kritisch becommentarieerd, uitgebreid en van de latere diplomatische omgang met de feiten ontdaan.

Abstract

Bien peu de gens connaissent aujourd'hui le nom de Paul Otlet (1868-1944), ainsi que les mots de Palais Mondial, de Mundaneum ou de Cité Mondiale. Les dictionnaires et les encyclopédies les ignorent, comme si cette fascinante utopie avait disparu sans laisser de traces. L'aventure dura pourtant plus d'un demi-siècle, mobilisant des énergies considérables et suscitant le concours de personnalités prestigieuses. Prolongement des rêves encyclopédiques des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, aux accents parfois grandioses et parfois dérisoires, l'aventure du Belge Paul Otlet touche à l'histoire du livre et des bibliothèques comme à celles des institutions internationales et du mouvement pacifiste. A travers le rôle joué par Hendrik Andersen et Le Corbusier, elle constitue aussi une page importante de l'urbanisme moderne. Mais le projet du Mundaneum apparaît surtout aujourd'hui, à travers certaines intuitions de Paul Odet, comme une préfiguration conceptuelle d'Internet. Dans cette passionnante et première biographie de Paul Otlet, Françoise Levie retrace l'histoire d'une utopie qui aurait pu réussir, d'une grande intuition qui finit par se changer en obsession, d'un rêve de Paix universelle qui bascula dans le délire. L'histoire d'un apparent échec, et d'une victoire posthume pour le moins inattendue...

Abstract

The disappearance of China’s naturally occurring forests is one of the most significant environmental shifts in the country’s history, one often blamed on imperial demand for lumber. China’s early modern forest history is typically viewed as a centuries-long process of environmental decline, culminating in a nineteenth-century social and ecological crisis. Pushing back against this narrative of deforestation, Ian Miller charts the rise of timber plantations between about 1000 and 1700, when natural forests were replaced with anthropogenic ones. Miller demonstrates that this form of forest management generally rested on private ownership under relatively distant state oversight and taxation. He further draws on in-depth case studies of shipbuilding and imperial logging to argue that this novel landscape was not created through simple extractive pressures, but by attempts to incorporate institutional and ecological complexity into a unified imperial state.Miller uses the emergence of anthropogenic forests in south China to rethink both temporal and spatial frameworks for Chinese history and the nature of Chinese empire. Because dominant European forestry models do not neatly overlap with the non-Western world, China’s history is often left out of global conversations about them; Miller’s work rectifies this omission and suggests that in some ways, China’s forest system may have worked better than the more familiar European institutions.
