Abstract

Par bien des égards, l'entreprise qui vise à dresser un état des savoirs sur l'architecture, le patrimoine et leur histoire dans les pays méditerranéens aux XIXe et XXe siècles est inédite. A cette fin, les contributions de ce recueil ont choisi de recenser et surtout décrypter les publications -livres ou revues- parues au Maroc, en Algérie, Tunisie, Egypte, Turquie, Grèce, Italie, France et Espagne. Fruit de ces investigations, le nouveau regard porté sur la production architecturale et urbaine du siècle et demi passé permet d'envisager une histoire de l'architecture et du patrimoine dans une logique plurielle, oeuvrant subtilement à appréhender la complexité de la circulation des idées, des modèles et des savoir-faire de même que leurs inflexions. Ainsi, il est possible d'expliquer comment les anciennes puissances coloniales et les nations ayant recouvré leur indépendance, ont bâti ce que tous qualifient aujourd'hui de patrimoines partagés.

Abstract

This volume explores the architecture and layout of Romanesque cathedrals in Europe, especially around the Mediterranean, paying special attention to liturgical ritual, church furnishings, iconography, and urban context. This volume explores the architecture and configuration of Romanesque cathedrals in Europe, especially around the Mediterranean, paying special attention to liturgical ritual, furnishings, iconography, and urban context. From the tenth to the twelfth centuries, cultural and artistic interchange around the Mediterranean gave rise to the first truly European art period in Medieval Western Europe, commonly referred to as ?Romanesque?. A crucial aspect of this integrative process was the mobility of artists, architects and patrons, as well as the capacity to adopt new formulas and integrate them into existing patterns. Some particularly creative centers exported successful models, while others became genuine melting pots. All this took shape over the substrate of Roman Antiquity, which remained in high esteem and was frequently reused. In this study, Romanesque cathedrals are employed as a lens with which to analyze the complexity and dynamics of the cultural landscape of southern and central Europe from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. The architecture of every cathedral is the result of a long and complicated process of morphogenesis, defined by spatial conditions and the availability of building materials. Their interior arrangements and imagery largely reflected ritual practice and the desire to express local identities. The various contributions to this volume discuss the architecture, interior, and urban setting of Romanesque cathedrals and analyze the factors which helped to shape them. In so doing, the focus is both on the influence of patrons and on more bottom-up factors, including community practices.

Abstract

Most of the grandiose and often ostentatious Hellenistic monumental tombs were power- fully expressive and symbolic structures, built to glorify and display the wealth and power of kings, queens, nobles, and other persons of influence or to serve as shrines for the worship of the heroized dead. They were inventive in design and form, created to demonstrate the achievements of the dead in a public architecture of permanence and durability.This lavishly illustrated monograph brings together previously scattered information about Hellenistic funerary monuments and Janos Fedak's own research on the exterior architecture of these impressive structures in the Mediterranean region. The author first establishes a typology of main tomb forms and then considers some of the predecessors of the Hellenistic tombs. He explores the variations of form that resulted from differences in climate, building materials, and social and religious customs. Adherence to strong local traditional practice in building is visible in each region, but new ideas and novel funerary architecture were welcomed everywhere in the Hellenistic world. Fedak's wide-ranging approach makes the work of interest not only to specialists in Greek architecture and archaeologists but also to students of classical studies and historians of art and religion.

Abstract

The Mediterranean is a multifaceted conglomeration of parts that cannot be assembled into a whole. Its various histories characterised by imperial and nationalistic aspirations, imbalances of power and economies, political struggles, diverse cultural, religious and linguistic realities as well as the countless myths spawned by people over the ages all contribute to the world's fascination with this region and simultaneously make it difficult for anyone to speak sensibly about it without resorting to the plural form – the Mediterraneans. So, can we speak of a Mediterranean pedagogy of the arts? The authors in this volume argue in different ways that the answer to this question cannot be carved out of a singular, monolithic interpretation of the region. Instead, we need to look for provisional answers in the region’s dynamic developments, historic and contemporary exchanges of ideas and cultural codes and in the shifting nature of a sea that invites journeying, inquisitive people to discover new routes. The cover image, “La fenêtre intérieure”, is by the French photographer Sébastien Cailleux and shows a multiple exposure portrait of a child and her drawing created during a workshop called “Dessine-moi la Méditerranée”, organised by L’École d’Art au Village (Edaav) at the Museum of Illumination, Miniatures and Calligraphy at the Casbah in Algiers.

Abstract

Quelles étaient les circonstances et motivations de la fondation des lieux de culte antiques ? Qu’est-ce qui présidait au choix des dieux ? Quels étaient les agents et les processus d’exécution de la genèse des temples ? Quels étaient les critères qui prévalaient dans le choix des sites sacrés ou les modalités d’installation d’un temple sur des structures existantes ? L’enquête proposée dans cet ouvrage sur la naissance des dieux dans l’Antiquité méditerranéenne, à forte tonalité archéologique et présentant des dossiers inédits pour une grande part, permet de proposer un bilan collectif sur les multiples implications de la formation des lieux de culte dans l’Antiquité, en partant de la documentation fournie par les sanctuaires compris non pas seulement comme des lieux de culte, mais également comme des lieux de cristallisation de la mémoire collective des sociétés antiques. Un tel sujet, exploré dans le cadre d’un colloque organisé à Rome en 2015, se prêtait particulièrement bien au programme de recherches commun des Écoles françaises d’Athènes et de Rome qui proposait de réfléchir sur les lieux de culte. En partant des fouilles et études menées par les deux Écoles depuis le XIXe siècle, l’objectif annoncé de ce programme est avant tout de faire dialoguer l’Est et l’Ouest méditerranéen, souvent séparés par les cloisonnements disciplinaires de l’histoire et l’archéologie grecque et romaine, voire provinciale.
