"The present book is the result of the conference 'Renovatio, inventio, absentia imperii. From the Roman Empire to Contemporary Imperialism', held in Brussels at the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Academia Belgica in Rome (September 11-13, 2014). At the heart of the conference was the 'reception', 'Nachleben' or 'permanence' of the Roman Empire, of an idea and a historical paradigm which since classical Antiquity has supported the most widespread claims to obtain and consolidate power. The volume's focus is on culture in a broad sense, i.e. including besides the arts, philosophy, religion and, most importantly, discourse. As such, a wide array of themes are subjected to academic scrutiny. Whereas the main focus is on Europe and North America, some contributors also reach out towards non-Western contexts, whether or not directly related to the Roman example. A theoretical and sociological dimension is also added thanks to the discussion on methodological issues. More specifically, the following question(s) receive particular attention: what is our position as researchers, embedded in a contemporary, often Western, democratic and capitalist context; what about the notion of empire itself, its constituent elements and the kind of ideological prerogatives to which it is generally subjected; in other words, apart from the many historical variants and instances of reception of empire, through which filters can, and inevitably do, we approach this topic? A question that has become ever more pregnant since the beginning of the twenty-first century, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the events of September 11, which have revivified what could be called American 'imperialism', and at a time when an essentially economic variant, driven by 'emerging' powers such as China, has increasingly contested existing power structures."--Page [4] of cover.

Marguerite Yourcenar (Brussel 1903) bracht haar kindertijd door in het noorden van Frankrijk, meer bepaald op de Zwarteberg in Frans-Vlaanderen. Ze bleef haar leven lang gehecht aan dit domein en deze streek. Onvergetelijk voor haar is wat ze 'het trage elan der Vlamingen' noemt. Geen wonder dus dat de Vlaamse werken die ze daarna systematisch onderbracht in drie albums. Zo stelde ze haar imaginair museum samen. Fragmenten uit beelden van deze iconografische bibliotheek vormen de voedingsbodem van haar beroemde roman l'oeuvre au noir, waarvan het verhaal zich afspeelt in het 16de-eeuwse Brugge. Van beeld naar woord en omgekeerd: die beweging exploreren is doordringen in het mysterie van de creativiteit.0Exhibition: Musée de Flandre, Cassel, France (13.10.2012-27.1.2013).
