Abstract

Based on a collaboration between historians of Chinese and European politics, this volume offers a first comprehensive overview of current research on political communication in middle-period European and Chinese history. The chapters present new work on the sources and processes of political communication in European and Chinese history partly through juxtaposing and combining formerly separate historiographies and partly through direct comparison. Contrary to earlier comparative work on empires and state formation, which aimed to explain similarities and differences with encompassing models and new theories of divergence, the goal is to further conversations between historians by engaging regional historiographies from the bottom up.

Abstract

Nobel laureate Niko Tinbergen laid the foundations for the scientific study of animal behaviour with his work on causation, development, function and evolution. In this book, an international cast of leading animal biologists reflect on the enduring significance of Tinbergen's groundbreaking proposals for modern behavioural biology. It includes a reprint of Tinbergen's original article on the famous 'four whys' and a contemporary introduction, after which each of the four questions are discussed in the light of contemporary evidence. There is also a discussion of the wider significance of recent trends in evolutionary psychology and neuroecology to integrate the 'four whys'. With a foreword by one of Tinbergen's most prominent pupils, Aubrey Manning, this wide-ranging book demonstrates that Tinbergen's views on animal behaviour are crucial for modern behavioural biology. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in animal behaviour, behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology.

Abstract

Quand elles s'appliquent à la souffrance des âmes, médecine et religion s'opposent-elles ? L'histoire de la folie pourrait s'écrire en retraçant la lente marche vers une " laïcisation de l'esprit " : le prêtre progressivement dépossédé de son pouvoir guérisseur par le médecin, l'âme qui tend à se fondre dans l'univers neurologique, l'inconscient qui surgit avec la psychanalyse au début du XXe siècle. Pourtant, l'étude des pratiques thérapeutiques, religieuses et laïques incite à réviser assez largement cette vision schématique. Dans ce livre ambitieux, Hervé Guillemain révèle que la thérapie morale et psychologique des aliénistes et des psychologues doit quelque chose aux pratiques religieuses. Les techniques hypnotiques regardent ainsi du côté de l'exorcisme et la psychanalyse du côté de la confession. On sait peu, par exemple, que, dans l'entre-deux-guerres, des chrétiens jouèrent un rôle important dans la diffusion de la psychanalyse dans la société française. L'histoire des pratiques thérapeutiques de la folie et des troubles psychiques, depuis le traitement moral appliqué dans les asiles d'aliénés au XIXe siècle jusqu'aux psychothérapies modernes du XXe siècle, apparaît à certains égards comme un nouveau développement de l'histoire des directions de conscience héritées du christianisme. L'auteur montre que le savoir scientifique sur la folie et sur la conscience ne peut être, lui non plus, dissocié de la morale et des concepts religieux et qu'il faut comprendre ensemble le péché et la dégénérescence, le traitement des aliénistes et la théologie morale, la possession et l'hystérie. Il avance que, loin de s'opposer, la médecine, la psychologie et la religion font partie d'une même histoire sociale et culturelle

Abstract

Though fighting is clearly hard work, historians have not paid much attention to warfare and military service as forms of labor. This collection does just that, bringing together the usually disparate fields of military and labor history. The contributors - including Robert Johnson, Frank Tallett, and Gilles Veinstein - undertake the first systematic comparative analysis of military labor across Europe, Africa, America, the Middle East, and Asia. In doing so, they explore the circumstances that have produced starkly different systems of recruiting and employing soldiers in different parts of the globe over the last five hundred years.
