Examines the critical role of urban taverns in the social and political life of colonial and revolutionary America From exclusive “city taverns” to seedy “disorderly houses,” urban taverns were wholly engrained in the diverse web of British American life. By the mid-eighteenth century, urban taverns emerged as the most popular, numerous, and accessible public spaces in British America. These shared spaces, which hosted individuals from a broad swath of socioeconomic backgrounds, eliminated the notion of “civilized” and “wild” individuals, and dismayed the elite colonists who hoped to impose a British-style social order upon their local community. More importantly, urban taverns served as critical arenas through which diverse colonists engaged in an ongoing act of societal negotiation. Inn Civility exhibits how colonists’ struggles to emulate their British homeland ultimately impelled the creation of an American republic. This unique insight demonstrates the messy, often contradictory nature of British American society building. In striving to create a monarchical society based upon tenets of civility, order, and liberty, colonists inadvertently created a political society that the founders would rely upon for their visions of a republican America. The elitist colonists’ futile efforts at realizing a civil society are crucial for understanding America’s controversial beginnings and the fitful development of American republicanism.

En Asie, le grand hôtel est directement lié au voyageur étranger. Il correspond à un temps non seulement de modernisation urbaine mais aussi d'ouverture et de relation avec les Occidentaux. C'est donc un lieu de rapport de forces économiques, d'importation de techniques modernes et de comportements nouveaux, un lieu enfin de confrontation culturelle. Objet urbain importé de l'Occident, le grand hôtel s'impose néanmoins comme marqueur des sociétés urbaines asiatiques. Il invite ainsi à reconsidérer les oppositions classiques entre la tradition et la modernité, l'identité asiatique et l'occidentalisation. Différentes générations de grands hôtels coexistent aujourd'hui dans les métropoles développées d'Asie que sont Tôkyô, Séoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai ou Pékin. Nombreux sont leurs atouts pour attirer les clients locaux et étrangers : ils s'appuient sur l'évocation de temps magnifiés et révolus, ou au contraire sur la modernité et le renouveau qu'ils incarnent ; ou bien ils jouent de leur double identité occidentale et asiatique ; enfin, ils offrent des services spécifiques (bar de nuit, salle d'exposition, centre de conférence…). Deux démarches sont ici suivies : une comparaison de l'usage asiatique du grand hôtel – et de ses temporalités – avec celui en Europe et en Amérique du Nord ; puis, l'analyse des modèles urbains venus d'Occident non pas sous l'angle de la seule importation mais aussi sous celui d'une histoire proprement asiatique de l'occidentalisation. À partir d'un objet singulier, cet ouvrage propose une interrogation sur la ville dans ses dimensions spatiale, sociale et de représentation. Il porte en particulier sur les sociabilités urbaines en Asie aujourd'hui, et il est issu d'une réflexion commune entre architectes, historiens et géographes, tous spécialistes de l'Asie orientale.

The studies available to date on St. Christoph am Arlberg are essentially a history of the brotherhood there, supplemented by a few essays on the history of transport. Now, based on extensive new source material, the history of the hospice and the chapel since 1386 is rolled out again and decisively corrected. The most important result is the proof that the Brotherhood of St. Christoph was pure fiction, an invention of business-minded alms collectors and hosts. Above all, however, the book is about those people who lived on and from the Arlberg or who crossed it. From the end of the 15th century until the time of Emperor Josef II, there was only a mule track across the Arlberg, and traffic was determined by Saumers from Vorarlberg and Switzerland who brought Schmalz to Innsbruck and Hall and transported salt back from there. In addition, there are path makers, mountain guides, cattle and salt handlers, miners, guards, postmen, soldiers, pilgrims, travellers, merchants, beggars, traveling people, rabble and others. to speak. For them, the Arlberg was once, occasionally, frequently or always the station and centre of their lives and they had learned to adapt to the rough nature in the high mountains, with fog, storm, ice, snow, avalanches, mudslides, falling rocks, rock falls, floods, To live weather change.
