Abstract

L'adoption par l'Allemagne et la France d'un régime matrimonial commun de participation aux acquêts, dont il a été pris acte lors du douzième conseil des ministres franco-allemand le 4 février 2010, donne tout son intérêt à l'étude comparative et approfondie de cette situation. Ce livre regroupe ainsi les contributions présentées lors du colloque qui s'est tenu les 7 et 8 novembre 2013 à la Faculté de Droit de Barcelone. Le défi était de présenter une cartographie comparatiste des différents régimes économiques matrimoniaux de participation aux acquêts, ainsi que d'identifier les mécanismes adoptés par des systèmes ayant fait le choix de consacrer un régime de séparation de biens - exemple pris de la Catalogne - non sans faciliter une communication participative des gains des époux. C'était aussi l'occasion d'étudier d'autres initiatives européennes et formules participatives, parmi lesquelles les options ouvertes aux couples de fait.

Abstract

Habiter dans une maison sur pilotis pour parer aux crues de l'Amazone, dans un Tulou en Chine, forteresse communautaire créée autrefois pour se protéger des assaillants , ou encore dans une micro maison au milieu de l'immense métropole de Tokyo...Autant d'habitats radicalement différents et qui pourtant posent le même réflexion : comment l'homme peut s'approprier un espace pour y vivre en sécurité, en société et surtout en harmonie avec l'environnement qui l'entoure ? Philippe Simay, philosophe voyageur, nous entraine à la découverte des habitats les plus insolites et les plus variés de la planète afin d'appréhender la façon dont ceux-ci révèlent nos modes de vies.

Abstract

Conversion to Christianity is arguably the most revolutionary social and cultural change that Europe experienced throughout Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Christianisation affected all strata of society and transformed not only religious beliefs and practices, but also the nature of government, the priorities of the economy, the character of kinship, and gender relations. It is against this backdrop that an international array of leading medievalists gathered under the auspices of the Converting the Isles Research Network (funded by the Leverhulme Trust) to investigate social, economic, and cultural aspects of conversion in the early medieval Insular world, covering different parts of Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, and Iceland.This is is the first of two volumes showcasing research generated through the ‘Converting the Isles’ Network. This volume focuses on specific aspects of the introduction of Christianity into the early medieval Insular world, including the nature and degree of missionary activity involved, socio-economic stimulants for conversion, as well as the depiction and presentation of a Christian saint. Its companion volume has the transformation of landscape as its main theme. By adopting a broad comparative and crossdisciplinary approach that transcends national boundaries, the material presented here and in volume II offers novel perspectives on conversion that challenge existing historiographical narratives and draw on up-to-date archaeological and written evidence in order to shed light on central issues pertaining to the conversion of the Isles.

Abstract

In The Church in Fourteenth-Century Iceland , Erika Sigurdson provides a history of the fourteenth-century Icelandic Church with a focus on the the social status of elite clerics following the introduction of benefices to Iceland. In this period, the elite clergy developed a shared identity based in part on universal clerical values, but also on a shared sense of interdependence, personal networks and connections within the framework of the Church. The Church in Fourteenth-Century Iceland examines the development of this social group through an analysis of bishops’ sagas, annals, and documents. In the process, it chronicles major developments in the Icelandic Church after the reforms of the late thirteenth century, including its emphasis on property and land ownership, and the growth of ecclesiastical bureaucracy.

Abstract

Synthétique et complet, érudit et richement illustré, ce "Coup de coeur" des éditions Citadelles & Mazenod se veut un ouvrage de référence sur la peinture nordique. Le panorama, nourri de l'état le plus récent de la recherche, s'étend par-delà le Danemark, la Suède, la Norvège et la Finlande, aux Iles Féroé, à l'Islande et à l'Allemagne du nord, et accorde une place centrale aux influences et aux rencontres de l'art "nordique" avec la peinture européenne, et notamment l'impressionnisme français. Privilégiant les périodes moderne et post-moderne, le volume analyse les constantes et les singularités des styles à travers les registres picturaux majeurs du paysage, du portrait, des scènes de genre ou d'intérieur, et révèle l'importance des arts du Nord sur la scène internationale contemporaine. Les superbes reproductions des paysages aériens, des mondes enchantés du mythe, de chaleureux intérieurs et de charmants portraits fascineront le lecteur curieux, l'historien de l'art et l'artiste.

Abstract

This book presents a detailed account of Iceland's recovery from the tumultuous banking collapse that overturned its financial industry in 2008. Early chapters recount how Iceland's central bank was unable to follow the quantitative easing policies of the time to print money and save the banks, while serving the world´s smallest currency area. The book goes on to explore how the government exercised force majeure rights to implement emergency legislation aimed at preventing the "socialization of losses". Later chapters investigate how, eight years later, these policies have yielded renewed growth and reinvigorated liquidity streams for the financial system. The authors argue that Iceland, long-called the 'canary in the coal mine' of the developed world, offers important lessons for the future. This book will be useful to all readers interested in better understanding the unique history of Iceland's banking crisis and the phenomena of its recovery.

Abstract

This paper examines Iceland’s expenditure policy, especially five expenditure pressure points, as well as capital flows and monetary policy effectiveness in small open economies. The postcrisis fiscal adjustment demanded painful choices, with spending on healthcare, education, and investment suffering cuts in real terms. While expenditures in these areas have rebounded more recently, there is a room for further decompression. Using quarterly panel data for 18 advanced and emerging small open economies during 2002–15, it finds that monetary policy is focused on inflation developments, but also that domestic interest rates affect capital flows, raising concerns about a reinforcing loop between monetary policy and capital flows.

Abstract

This paper provides an assessment of the economic conditions, outlook, and crises in Iceland. There is a mounting sense that capital controls hurt growth prospects, repressing local financial markets, scaring foreign investors, and impeding savings diversification, and that it is time for them to go. Recent settlements with the bank estates are a huge step forward, improving already favorable macroeconomic conditions. At 4 percent in 2015 and gaining pace, real GDP expansion is among the fastest growing in Europe, opening up a positive output gap. However, the biggest risk for Iceland is overheating. Large wage awards on top of already hot economic readings speak to Iceland’s boom-bust history.
