The years 888-962 are a period in which the Kingdom of Italy was not ruled by kings from across the Alps, the only such period from the end of the eighth century to the end of the eleventh. They were for a long time accepted as a period of major political breakdown and failure, and, in north-central (not southern) Italy, the start of the long run in to the early city communes and Italy’ s future history as a radically disunited peninsula. In the light of not only recent historical reanalyses but also the emergence of a large quantity of archaeological data, this image can be tested, and in this book is, by both historians and archaeologists. A far more subtle and nuanced picture emerges from the interdisciplinary work in this volume. This book will be an essential starting-point for all future work on Italy in this period.

Le 6 avril 1909, l’exporateur blanc Robert Peary a conduit une expédition qui, pour la première fois, a atteint le pôle Nord en traîneau à chiens. Dès son retour, il suscite la polémique avec Frederick Cook, un autre explorateur qui, lui aussi affirmait avoir atteint le pôle nord, le 21 avril 1908. La controverse sera tranchée par le congrès des États-Unis, qui fait officiellement de Peary le premier vainqueur du pôle Nord. Mais l’histoire est tout autre, car ni Cook, ni Peary ne furent les premiers à fouler le sol du « toit du monde ». Matthew Henson est né en 1866 dans l’état du Maryland et décède en 1955 à New York. Fils d’esclaves, après avoir passé plusieurs années à Baltimore, une ville « noire », il fut l’accompagnateur de Peary lors de sept expéditions dans l’Arctique, y compris lors de l’expédition de 1908-1909 qui a atteint le pôle Nord géographique le 6 avril 1909. Après bien des débats, il a été établi que Matthew Henson a bel et bien été le premier homme à atteindre le pôle Nord en 1909. Il faudra attendre 1988 pour que Henson soit officiellement reconnu comme étant le premier à avoir atteint le toit du monde, et l’année 2000 pour qu’il soit récipiendaire de la médaille Hubbard, décernée à titre posthume, une récompense remise par la National Geographic Society pour des distinctions dans les domaines de l’exploration, de la découverte et de la recherche. Pourquoi cette reconnaissance tardive ? Pourquoi, pendant longtemps, Peary reçut seul tous les honneurs, alors que la présence de Matthew fut occultée (quand il est cité, il est réduit à n’être qu’un porteur) ? Pourquoi Peary, à son retour du pôle Nord, fut nommé à des postes prestigieux, alors qu’Henson devint gardien de parking ? Parce que Henson était noir, et les préjugés racistes de l’époque firent douter qu’un Afro-Américain ait pu vivre dans le froid polaire…

This remarkable new book is a collection of selected essays whose theses first came together in October 1988 at a conference sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities, "Concepts of History in German Cinema." The contributors include notable historians, film scholars, and German studies specialists who explore the complex network of social, psychological, and aesthetic factors that have influenced the historiography of German cinema and television. Over the past decade, media specialists have engaged in a variety of projects that address many questions concerning the historiography of film and television. Through their discussions they have reassessed conventional histories of cinema, examined the influence of cinematic and television narration in constructing history, and contemplated the role of media in historical development. Germans began to employ the medium of film to represent the past before the turn of the century, when, among other things, they attempted to document their Prussian heritage. Since then, German cinema and television have promoted history as a component of individual, cultural, and national identity by consistently and prominently treating historical subjects. Although it is relatively easy to document changes in the selection and handling of these subjects, it is more difficult to determine what motivated those changes. Assessments of the link between German cinema, television, and history have primarily developed around three interrelated issues: the reception of Weimar cinema, the inscribing of fascism in cinema and television, and the nature of, and potential for, alternatives to mainstream cinema and television. This extraordinary collection presents a provocative dialogue by distinguished authors employing a diversity of methods, theoretical premises, and styles. It is a book that will appeal to scholars and students of German culture and media in the fields of history, political science, film, and German studies.
