This book deals with how, starting in the 1960s, immigrant groups in Israel constructed their ethnic identity by reviving their ethnic festivals and turning them into part of Israeli society. For the immigrants, these festivals serve as a collective "definitional ceremony," with an intersection of ethnicity, culture, and identity. They also help them to develop cultural and religious syncretism. The discussion of their social and political leaders' ethnic activism provides important insights about the ways in which immigrant leaders employ their ethnic tradition as a resource for mobilizing cultural, social, and political capital that will facilitate their penetration of the cultural mainstream.

Im vorliegenden Buch wird das kulturelle Wissen des römischen Kalenders untersucht, wie es Ovid in den ‚Fasti‘ darstellt und selbst mitgestaltet. Die Studie geht von der These aus, dass das Gedicht sich in einem gemeinsamen Wissensdiskurs mit einer Reihe von poetischen wie auch historiographischen und antiquarischen Prosatexten befindet, was u. a. durch die zentrale, diesen Texten gemeinsame Gedankenfigur der Aitiologie oder Ursprungserklärung deutlich wird. Die Art und Weise dieses Zusammentreffens von Wissen und Literatur wird am Kernthema der ‚Fasti‘ dargestellt: der Geschichte der Kalenderkonstitution und der aitiologischen Erklärung der Gestalt, Ordnung und Namen des römischen Jahres. Die Studie stellt einen Beitrag zu einer literarischen Wissensgeschichte der römischen Literatur dar, ist also eine über historische Darstellungen der faktischen Ereignisse und Reformen des Kalenders hinausgehende Interpretation der poetischen Verarbeitung sozialer Zeitverhandlung in Rom.

Ever since the Christianization of the planetary week in Late Antiquity, the notion of Sunday as a day of rest, as well as the rhythm of a seven-day week, has been a constant. Yet the cultural history of Sunday in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages is complex. Detailed research reveals a greater diversity than appears at first glance. For example, Sunday did not simply replace the Sabbath, nor was the Jewish Sabbath commandment directly adopted. Furthermore, the Sunday laws of Emperor Constantine officially gave the inhabitants of the Roman Empire a day of rest free of work, but the effect and reception of the laws is hard to grasp, even among Christian authors. Moreover, Sunday was by no means a central theme in the history of late antique Christianity, so that the scattered references must be interpreted.00This edited collection, based on a conference in Vienna in 2019, investigates the relevance of Sunday and the weekly rhythm in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages in the everyday life of people, in monasticism, in synods, in further imperial and ecclesiastical laws, and in disciplinary and liturgical developments. It also covers controversies with the Jewish Sabbath as well as reflections on the aspect of rest, freedom, and of charity. While exploring different views and regional differences, the contributions show the growing importance of the Lord?s Day, especially since the sixth century, as part of the Christianization of society and the sacralization of the calendar.

La Tenture dite des Fêtes des Valois, conservée à Florence, au Palazzo Pitti, est un ensemble constitué de huit tapisseries de laine, soie et fil d'or, tissées à Bruxelles dans le dernier quart du XVIe siècle. Commande probable de Catherine de Médicis, cette série met en scène de grandes fêtes de cour qui évoquent celles données par la reine-mère durant le règne de son fils Charles IX. Cet ouvrage, publié à l'occasion de l'exposition "L'Art de la fête à la cour des Valois" au château de Fontainebleau, constitue la première publication en français consacrée à cet ensemble unique. Dirigé par Oriane Beaufils, conservateur du patrimoine au château de Fontainebleau, il ambitionne d'étudier la tenture de manière globale. La première partie est consacrée aux collections de tapisseries réunies par les Valois depuis François Ier et à la place qu'occupe Catherine de Médicis dans ce domaine du mécénat artistique. La deuxième partie traite en détail la question de la commande et des différentes étapes de la réalisation de la tapisserie, depuis les dessins préparatoires d'Antoine Caron jusqu'au tissage dans les ateliers de Bruxelles. Enfin, la dernière constitue un catalogue de cette tenture, l'étudiant pièce par pièce. Le texte général de cette publication est ponctué d'encarts abordant des aspects plus spécifiques de la Tenture.
