"This volume elucidates how the ritual of processions, from antiquity to the present, in polytheist religions and early Christianity, contribute to creating consensus with regards to both political power and communitarian experiences. Many classical sources often only tangentially allude to processions, focusing instead on other aspects of these rituals such as sacrifice. This book adopts a comparative approach, bringing together historians of antiquity and later periods as well as social anthropologists working on contemporary societies, analysing both ancient and modern examples of how rituals, symbols, actors, and spectators interact in the construction of communities. The different examples explored in this study illustrate the performative capacity of processions to construct reality: the protagonism of image and movement, the design of cultic itineraries, and the active participation of members of the public. In studying these examples, readers develop an understanding of how power is exercised and perceived, the extent of its legitimacy, and the limits of community in a variety of case studies. Processions and the Construction of Communities in Antiquity is of interest to students and scholars of the classical and early Christian worlds, especially those working on cult, religion, and community formation. The volume also appeals to social anthropologists interested in these issues across a broader chronology"--

Nación y liberalismo marcaron el desembarco de España en el mundo contemporáneo transformando las instituciones y cambiando las relaciones de poder. Desde entonces, la creación de símbolos y la disputa por un espacio político diferenciado fue mucho más evidente que nunca. Y esto se manifestó, incluso, en el umbral de la vida y la muerte. Desde la guerra de la Independencia hasta la actualidad, los funerales políticos se han convertido en un instrumento de comunicación política, una forma de transmitir idearios y valores, de construir identidad de grupo o de prolongar la herencia de los desaparecidos. El presente libro muestra cómo se han utilizado y desarrollado estas posibilidades desde las distintas culturas políticas, tanto las que ocupaban el espacio oficial como aquellas que se valieron del homenaje a sus difuntos para hacer visible su oposición al poder

Immonde, donc répugnant. Mais est ce le seul sens possible ? Pas sûr, car bien souvent les textes de Kafka paraissent réactiver le sens littéral du mot ou ce qui peut être interprété comme tel : l'immonde comme négation du monde. Quand on compare la langue française et la langue allemande, on constate que si cette dernière a des mots pour dire le répugnant et ses synonymes, elle n'en a pas pour dire l'immonde comme négation du monde. Or, ce que nous avons expérimenté - merveille de la littérature ? -, c'est que la prose simple et concrète de Kafka comporte assez d'idéalité internationale pour s'évader quelques instants de la langue allemande, suggérant alors aux esprits français le concept de l'immonde comme négation du monde. Une question ici ne peut manquer de se poser : quel est au juste le lien, chez Kafka, entre l'immonde comme immondice et l'immonde comme négation du monde ? Ou plutôt : peut-on vraiment parler de lien quand on remarque que l'immondice et la négation du monde sont le plus souvent mêlées ? Mieux : sous un certain rapport, ne sont-elles pas les deux faces de la même médaille ? C'est dire s'il devient impossible de confiner l'immondice dans la signification de déchet. Il faut élargir son champ sémantique. L'immondice : non plus seulement la saleté ou le déchet, mais encore l'état d'une chose ou d'un être qui nie le monde.

Everyday Political Objects examines a series of historical case studies across a very broad timescale, using objects as a means to develop different approaches to understanding politics where both internal and external definitions of the political prove inadequate. Materiality and objects have gradually made their way into the historian's toolbox in recent years, but the distinctive contribution that a set of methods developed for the study of objects can make to our understanding of politics has yet to be explored. This book shows how everyday objects play a certain role in politics, which is specific to material things. It provides case studies which re-orientate the view of the political in a way that is distinct from, but complementary to, the study of political institutions, the social history of politics and the analysis of discourse. Each chapter shows, in a distinctive and innovative way, how historians might change their approach to politics by incorporating objects into their methodology. Analysing case studies from France, the Congo, Burkina Faso, Romania and Britain between the early Middle Ages and the present day makes this study the perfect tool for students and scholars in the disciplines of history, art history, political science, anthropology and archaeology.

Between 1810 and 1813 the Master of Ceremonies Count Gundacker Heinrich Wurmbrand drafted an „Etiquette-Normale für den österreichischen Kaiserhof“, which is a unique source for the reconstruction of everyday ceremonies at the Viennese court after the Napoleonic era. The text define the role of the Emperor, the ranks of the members of his entourage and the status of the court servants in a complex, symbolic system of relations. Court and court society are presented as a well-ordered mechanism to celebrate the dignity and rank of the Austrian Empire invented in 1804 and to legitimize it through symbolic communication.
