Who thought of Europe as a community before its economic integration in 1957? Dina Gusejnova illustrates how a supranational European mentality was forged from depleted imperial identities. In the revolutions of 1917 to 1920, the power of the Hohenzollern, Habsburg and Romanoff dynasties over their subjects expired. Even though Germany lost its credit as a world power twice in that century, in the global cultural memory, the old Germanic families remained associated with the idea of Europe in areas reaching from Mexico to the Baltic region and India. Gusejnova's book sheds light on a group of German-speaking intellectuals of aristocratic origin who became pioneers of Europe's future regeneration. In the minds of transnational elites, the continent's future horizons retained the contours of phantom empires. This title is available as Open Access.

Detailed description of the lifestyle of groups of high Chilean society in the late 19th and early 20th century, and its social and political role. The theoretical contribution of this book is to show through the analytical practice that the study of class consciousness requires taking culture as a historical object. There is an almost implicit postulate in the work: it is important but not sufficient to situate a class in relation to the economic structure. Of course, it is required to know the material conditioning, the type of social relations of production of which a certain class is agent; and for that reason in this book the description of the economic functions of the oligarchy is central. But between the economic situation of class and consciousness there is a specific field of mediations, which is culture. That culture is more than language, discourse, theory or ideas; she is a type of practice that is apprehended through the concept of way of being (from the Prologue of Tomás Moulian).

"Noblesse oblige." La maxime du duc Pierre-Marc-Gaston de Lévis (1764-1830) est passée dans le langage courant pour évoquer les obligations morales qui pèsent sur les détenteurs d'un nom, et plus généralement pour inviter tous les prétendants à la respectabilité à adopter un comportement conforme à la dignité qu'ils revendiquent. L'idée n'était pas nouvelle. En 1665, dans son Dom Juan, Molière plaçait déjà dans la bouche de Dom Louis une tirade véhémente devenue fameuse : "Non, non, la naissance n'est rien où la vertu n'est pas." Si la noblesse reposait sur la vertu, quelle définition donnait-on à cette qualité ? S'agissait-il du courage guerrier, de l'exemplarité morale ou de l'appartenance au monde des gens de bien ? Vivre de ses rentes ne suffisait plus pour être reconnu comme noble dans une société où, à partir du XVIIe siècle, le roi s'imposa comme le maître des identités. Sous une unité de façade, quelles failles économiques, culturelles et idéologiques traversaient la noblesse à l'époque moderne ? À quelles obligations, surtout, se sentait-elle tenue, et quelles formes prenaient les engagements politiques, religieux et partisans qui l'animaient ? Quel était le sens des termes "vocation" ou "service" pour les seigneurs et les dames de l'Ancien Régime ? C'est à ces questions, et à quelques autres, que ce volume propose des éléments de réponse, non par une approche systématique de la noblesse en tant qu'ordre ou catégorie sociale illusoire, mais à travers une analyse fondée sur l'examen de traces, de textes et d'archives, qui permettent de brosser un panorama de la société des princes et des princesses, des seigneurs et des capitaines, des nobles d'épée et des courtisans, entre le temps de la Renaissance et l'aube du XIXe siècle
