Abstract

Asia was the principle focus of empire-builders from Alexander and Akbar to Chinggis Khan and Qianlong and yet, until now, there has been no attempt to provide a comprehensive history of empire in the region. Empire in Asia addresses the need for a thorough survey of the topic. Volume I traces the evolution of a constellation of competing empires in Asia from the 13th through to the 18th centuries. It describes the history and characteristic features of imperial regimes in each major sub-region of Asia, from the Ottomans and Safavids in the West, Romanovs in the North, Mughals in the South, the Mongols & their successors in Inner Asia, to the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the East. Volume II covers the long 19th century, commonly seen in terms of 'high imperialism' and the global projection of Western power. It explores the dynamic, volatile and contested processes by which, by the early years of the 20th century, Asian states, space and peoples became deeply integrated into the wider dynamics of global reordering.0Vol. 1: From Chinggisid to Qing, ISBN 9781472591210, GBP 100,-0Vol. 2: The long Nineteenth century, ISBN 9781472596048, GBP 100,-

Abstract

La civilisation byzantine a marqué durablement de son empreinte les hommes et les sociétés du Sud-Est de l’Europe. Après la chute de Constantinople en 1453, cette civilisation fut dissociée de l’État qui lui avait servi de cadre pendant plus d’un millénaire, l’Empire byzantin. Contraints par un nouveau pouvoir substitué à l’ancien, celui de l’Empire ottoman, les héritages de Byzance n’en disparurent pas pour autant. Ils cheminèrent dans les mémoires et les coutumes, dans l’histoire et la foi, dans des institutions formelles ou informelles. Et quand les peuples anciennement soumis à l’Empire byzantin ou sujets à son influence s’affirmèrent comme nations, quand ils entreprirent d’écrire leur passé et de se projeter dans un avenir européen – à partir des Lumières et plus encore aux XIXeet XXe siècles –, Byzance fut naturellement repensée, réévaluée, réinventée. L’ambition de ce volume collectif est d’étudier, de façon comparée et grâce à des études de chercheurs de tous pays, l’histoire de la mémoire de Byzance dans les sociétés sud-est européennes. Une conclusion s’en dégage : plus qu’une nostalgie et mieux qu’une curiosité, Byzance apparaît comme l’un des fondements de notre Europe contemporaine. The Byzantine civilisation has left a lasting mark on individuals and societies of South-Eastern Europe. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453 it lost the frame, the Byzantine Empire, in which it had flourished for more than a millennium. Although restrained by a new power, the Ottoman Empire, Byzantine legacies never disappeared but survived in memories and traditions, in history and faith, in formal or informal institutions. And when peoples formerly included in the Byzantine Empire or subject to its influence established themselves as nations, when they started writing their past and considered what could be their European fate – from the Enlightenment, but especially in the 19th and 20th centuries – Byzantium was naturally reconsidered, reassessed, reinvented.
