Abstract

L’humanitaire envahit les écrans, les médias et nos vies. Il passe pour l’une des démarches et des valeurs les plus prisées de notre temps. Mais que recouvre exactement ce phénomène ? L’histoire du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR), la plus ancienne des organisations internationales consacrées à l’aide aux victimes, donne des réponses éclairantes à ces questions. À travers le récit de quatre moments-clés de cette institution vieille de plus de 150 ans, Irène Herrmann nous montre que l’engouement dont il jouit est récent. L’idéal de compassion sur lequel il repose n’entend pas lutter contre les injustices mais est indissociable du nationalisme comme du colonialisme. De fait, s’il comprend une part indéniable de dévouement, il n’est pas totalement désintéressé. Ainsi, en retraçant le parcours du CICR, l’auteure met-elle en lumière des réalités contre-intuitives voire carrément dérangeantes.

Abstract

Trop longtemps traitée en parente pauvre, la révolution de 1905 s’émancipe et commence enfin à retrouver sa véritable dimension. Réhabilitation bienvenue. Impossible en effet de comprendre l’évolution ultérieure de la Russie sans se reporter à ces années 1905 - 1907 riches d’interrogations non moins que d’enseignements : - quel fut le retentissement véritable du Dimanche rouge, notamment en milieu ouvrier ? - les paysans étaient-ils réellement tous les boute-feu que l’on a si souvent décrits ? - pourquoi le moujik en uniforme a-t-il écrasé la révolution ? - quelle fut la part des nationalités non russes, de la Pologne au Caucase, dans la fièvre révolutionnaire ? - un régime constitutionnel était-il viable dans la Russie autocratique et en fit-on réellement l’expérience ? Sur tous ces points, et bien d’autres, cette publication jette un regard neuf et apporte des éléments de réflexion qui interdisent de se contenter plus longtemps du prêt-à-penser habituel. Ni révolution pour rien, ni « répétition générale », la révolution de 1905-1907 viendra se briser sur l’intransigeance de l’autocratie qui fera manquer à la Russie son rendez-vous avec la liberté. Premier colloque consacré à 1905 hors des frontières de l’ancien empire tsariste, cet ouvrage collectif constitue tout à la fois un jalon et un repère.

Abstract

The 34 articles published in this volume form the proceedings of the 9th Red Sea conference held at Lyon in July 2019, whose core topic was the “spatiality of networks in the Red Sea”, including the western Indian Ocean. In the networked space that the Erythra Thalassa never ceased to be, stable factors such as landscape, climate, and wind patterns have been constantly entangled with more dynamic elements, such as human activity. The contributors to this volume explored how the former were integrated into the countless networks formed by humans in the region, and how these were impacted by spatial constraints over the long course of history. This volume offers a wide range of stimulating contributions. The first articles are devoted to medieval and modern European sources on the Red Sea and its exploration, and to the networks of knowledge dissemination about the region. They are followed by papers relating to the main nodes, the ports and islands of the Red Sea. Several articles are then focusing on the agency of hinterland populations in the networks, and the relationships between the regions bordering the Red Sea and central powers that governed them, often from distant lands. Production and consumption networks are the subject of the next articles, to assess the extent and nature of exchanges and to shed light on the archaeology of circulations. The logistics of exploration, exploitation and trade in the regions bordering the Red Sea are then examined. The last series of papers focuses on regions where archaeological work started only recently: Somaliland, Tigray, and the Horn of Africa. Thanks to all the participants, whether they have exploited new data or re‑examined long-known material, the 9th edition of the “Red Sea Project” gave rise to vibrant debates, showing that the Erythra Thalassa remains an endless source of knowledge. Les 34 articles publiés dans ce volume forment les actes de la 9e édition de la « Red Sea conference » qui s’est tenue à Lyon en…

Abstract

The book contextualizes the 1810 rebellion, and by extension the southern frontier, within the broader Atlantic World, showing how both local factors and events in Europe affected lives in the Spanish borderlands. Breaking with traditional scholarship, McMichael examines contests over land and slaves as a determinant of loyalty.

Abstract

"Most writing on Metis history has tended to concentrate on the Resistance of 1869-70 and the Rebellion of 1885, without adequately explaining the social and economic origins of the Metis that shaped those conflicts. Historians have often emphasized the aboriginal aspect of the Metis heritage, stereotyping the Metis as a primitive people unable or unwilling to adjust to civilized life and capitalist society." "In this social and economic history of the Metis of the Red River Settlement, specifically the parishes of St Francois Xavier and St Andrew's, Gerhard Ens argues that the Metis participated with growing confidence in two worlds: one Indian and pre-capitalist, the other European and capitalist. Ens maintains that Metis identity was not defined by biology or blood but rather by the economic and social niche they carved out for themselves within the fur trade." "Ens finds that the Metis, rather than being overwhelmed, adapted quickly to the changed economic conditions of the 1840s and actually influenced the nature of change. The opening of new markets and the rise of the buffalo-robe trade fed a 'cottage industry' whose increasing importance had significant repercussions for the maintenance of ethnic boundaries, the nature of Metis response to the Riel Resistance, and the eventual decline of the Red River Settlement as a Metis homeland."--Jacket

Abstract

What did happen to the body of Thomas Scott?The disposal of the body of Canadian history's most famous political victim is the starting point for historian J.M. Bumsted's new look at some of the most fascinating events and personalities of Manitoba's Red River Settlement.To outsiders, 19th-century Red River seemed like a remote community precariously poised on the edge of the frontier. Small and isolated though it may have been, Red River society was also lively, well educated, multicultural and often contentious. By looking at well-known figures from a new perspective, and by examining some of the more obscure corners of the settlement's history, Bumsted challenges many of the widely held assumptions about Red River. He looks, for instance, at the brief, unhappy Swiss settlement at Red River, examines the controversial reputation of politician John Christian Shultz, and delves into the sensational scandal of a prominent clergyman's trial.Vividly written, Thomas Scott's Body pieces together a new and often surprising picture of early Manitoba and its people.

Abstract

In Dark Enlightenment Kennet Granholm explores the historical, sociological, and discursive contexts of contemporary esoteric magic. The book is focused on the Sweden-originated Left-Hand Path magic order Dragon Rouge in particular, but through a detailed contextualizing examination of this case study it offers a broader visage of contemporary esotericism in general. The author takes cue from both the historiography of Western esotericism and the sociological study of new religions and religious change, aiming to provide a transdisciplinary framework for a comprehensive study of esotericism in late modernity.
