Abstract

War is usually considered a men's affair, where women would only play secondary roles. Although they are actresses and witnesses of history, they constantly see their experience devalued. Yet, given the scale of the conflicts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the entire population was affected. Since women have mobilized in different ways, it seems important to promote a reading of the warlike phenomenon according to the prism of the genre. This book is part of this perspective. By collecting contributions from historians and writers, this book describes both the complexity of women's wartime experiences and their representations in literature.

Abstract

This collection of original articles compares various key archaeological topics- agency, violence, social groups, diffusion- from evolutionary and interpretive perspectives. These two strands represent the major current theoretical poles in the discipline. By comparing and contrasting the insights they provide into major archaeological themes, this volume demonstrates the importance of theoretical frameworks in archaeological interpretations. Chapter authors discuss relevant Darwinian or interpretive theory with short archaeological and anthropological case studies to illustrate the substantive conclusions produced. The book will advance debate and contribute to a better understanding of the goals and research strategies that comprise these distinct research traditions. -- Back Cover

Abstract

Le 11 novembre 1918, lorsque prennent fin les quatre années de combats, de sacrifices et de massacres qui ont bouleversé l'Europe, les hommes, hébétés, contemplent les ruines.C es ruines, ce sont celles d'une époque : celle de la modernité triomphante, où les maîtres mots étaient progrès, science, culture, et où l'on avait foi en l'avenir de l'humanité. Beaucoup, alors, diagnostiquent le déclin de la civilisation européenne, et s'interrogent avec angoisse sur la destinée de l'homme moderne. Ces réflexions, révèle Emilio Gentile, étaient cependant loin d'être nouvelles : elles étaient en germe, déjà, dans les années précédant la Grande guerre. L'Europe de la "Belle Époque", que l'on se représente resplendissante, sûre d'elle, conquérante, était minée par des courants sombres : isolées d'abord, puis de plus en plus nombreuses, des voix s'étaient fait entendre, qui prophétisaient la fin de la civilisation et appelaient à la régénération de l'homme par la guerre. En nous invitant à les écouter, l'historien italien dévoile pour la première fois une Belle Époque traversée de cauchemars, rongée par l'angoisse, et entraînée malgré elle dans la spirale apocalyptique de l'autodestruction.
