"From Kehinde Wiley to W.E.B. DuBois, from Nubia to Cuba, from Willie Doherty's terror in ancient landscapes to the violence of institutional Neo-Gothic, from Reagan's AIDS policies to Beowulf fanfiction, this richly illustrated volume brings together art historians and literature scholars to articulate a more inclusive, intersectional medieval studies. It will be of interest to students working on diaspora and migration, white settler colonialism and pogroms, Indigenous studies and decolonial methodology, slavery, genocide, and culturecide. The authors confront a legacy of medieval studies and its current failures, and analyze fascist, nationalist, colonialist, anti-Semitic, and other ideologies to which medieval was and is yoked. They set out concrete ethical choices and aims in research and teaching. In the face of rising global fascism and ideological mobilizations, contemporary and past, of cultural heritage and history as weapons of symbolic and physical oppression, the chapters on Byzantium, Medieval Nubia, Old English, Hebrew, Old French, Occitan, and American and European medievalisms brought together in this volume examine how educational institutions, museums, universities, and individuals are guided by ethics in research, collecting, and teaching. The volume includes pieces by current important voices in the field, including Andrea Myers Achi, Seeta Saganti, Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei, Eva Frojmovic, Anna Kłosowska, Roland Betancourt, Joshua Davies, Alison Elizabeth Killilea, Catherine A.M. Clarke, Adam Miyashiro, Megan Cavell, Daniel Thomas, Stewart Brookes, Diane Watt, Jennifer Neville, Carla María Thomas, and Catherine Karkov"--

Extrait. Les Burgondes occupent une place importante dans l'imaginaire collectif de la Bourgogne. Si, comme cet important et utile Colloque l'a bien montré, nos connaissances sur les Burgondes apparaissent imprécises et fragmentaires, elles ne doivent pas nous faire oublier les conséquences de ce peuplement sur notre Région. « Le Bourguignon, a écrit joliment Gaston Roupnel, est un homme qui s'est arrêté en chemin ». Voulant marquer ainsi le rôle constamment joué dans notre histoire par le contact des civilisations et le mariage des cultures, par les grandes voies de communication qui ont vu passer ici tant d'invasions et de migrations, il notait aussi l'illustration originale offerte de cette situation par les Burgondes. Car, rejetés de partout, ces gens se fixent enfin ici. Force est de constater qu'ils réussissent à forger les outils d'une civilisation, en opérant une révolution agronomique par la mise en valeur de terres mieux partagées, un nouvel éveil du droit par la loi Gombette, une répartition intelligente du sol autour des pagi qui aujourd'hui encore sont nos pays... Je m'aventure sans doute sur des chemins où je n'ai nulle compétence, mais voici simplement ce que j'ai appris dans mes livres d'histoire, de droit, de géographie. Quant à notre nom, notre bien le plus précieux, d'où vient-il sinon de ces Burgondes assez attachants pour imposer en quelques décennies cette identité à un vaste territoire ? Les liens qui unissent ces errants enfin intégrés et les cultures rencontrées sur leur route ne laissent pas d'émerveiller l'esprit, depuis les lointaines attaches nordiques jusqu'aux influences hunniques et l'art des steppes appris de leurs ennemis...

Kulturgeschichtliche Ansätze zur Erforschung diplomatischer Akteure und Strukturen in der Vormoderne haben aktuell zu Recht Konjunktur. Sie ermöglichen neue thematische Zugänge ebenso wie erhebliche Perspektiverweiterungen. Im Rahmen einer Alltags- und neueren Kulturgeschichte der Diplomatie rückten dabei jüngst lebensweltliche Erfahrungen, mentale Prägungen, soziale und zeremonielle Praktiken diplomatischer Akteure sowie Probleme interkultureller Kommunikation in den Fokus des Forschungsinteresses. Wegweisende Studien folgen hier einem semiotisch-interaktionistischen Kulturverständnis. Dennoch wurden frühneuzeitliche diplomatische Wissenskulturen mit der doppelten Perspektivierung, die ein solcher Zugriff erfordert, einerseits im Hinblick auf kulturelle Prägungen der Akteure und andererseits auf ihre Rolle bei der Wissensproduktion, -transformation und -zirkulation, bislang noch nicht systematisch erforscht. Der vorliegende Band versucht, erste Ansätze und Wege zur Erforschung dieses Problemfeldes aufzuzeigen. Er nähert sich dem Thema anhand von Höfen, Friedenskongressen und Ständeversammlungen (insbesondere Reichstagen) als zentralen Erfahrungsräumen und Orten der Wissensproduktion frühneuzeitlicher Diplomatie.

On 8 January 2012 the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa, the oldest African nationalist organisation on the continent, celebrated its one hundredth anniversary. This historic event has generated significant public debate within both the ANC and South African society at large. There is no better time to critically reflect on the ANC's historical trajectory and struggle against colonialism and apartheid than in its centennial year. One Hundred Years of the ANC is a collection of new work by renowned South African and international scholars. Covering a broad chronological and geographical spectrum and using a diverse range of sources, the contributors build upon but also extend the historiography of the ANC by tapping into marginal spaces in ANC history. By moving away from the celebratory mode that has characterised much of the contemporary discussions on the centenary, the contributors suggest that the relationship between the histories of earlier struggles and the present needs to be rethought in more complex terms. Collectively, the book chapters challenge hegemonic narratives that have become an established part of South Africa's national discourse since 1994. By opening up debate around controversial or obscured aspects of the ANC's century-long history, One hundred years of the ANC sets out an agenda for future research. The book is directed at a wide readership with an interest in understanding the historical roots of South Africa's current politics will find this volume informative. This book is based on a selection of papers presented at the One Hundred Years of the ANC: Debating Liberation Histories and Democracy Today Conference held at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg from 20-23 September 2011.
