Written in a lively and accessible style, Antiquity Now opens our gaze to the myriad uses and abuses of classical antiquity in contemporary fiction, film, comics, drama, television - and even internet forums. With every chapter focusing on a different aspect of classical reception - including sexuality, politics, gender and ethnicity - this book explores the ideological motivations behind contemporary American allusions to the classical world. Ultimately, this kaleidoscope of receptions - from calls for marriage equality to examinations of gang violence to passionate pleas for peace (or war) - reveals a 'classical antiquity' that reconfigures itself daily, as modernity explains itself to itself through ever-expanding technologies and media. Antiquity Now thus examines the often-surprising redeployment of the art and literature of the ancient world, a geography charged with especial value in the contemporary imagination.

L'histoire sociale du Moyen Âge est aujourd'hui en pleine évolution : elle redéfinit ses objets et, construisant des approches originales, délaisse vieux paradigmes et anciennes périodisations, sans rien renier pour autant de l'acquis transmis par les générations précédentes. Ce livre s'empare des thématiques les plus renouvelées depuis les années 1990 - l'espace, l'écriture, la vie économique comprise comme l'une des modalités de la domination sociale. Ces différentes approches témoignent du dynamisme d'une discipline qui se place délibérément à la croisée des sciences de l'homme et de celles de la société, n'hésitant pas, pour enrichir ses analyses, à mobiliser les concepts de la sociologie et de l'économie. Des sciences plus classiques et plus techniques, comme la paléographie et la diplomatique, sont de la même façon convoquées pour saisir les raisons de l'inscription des choses et des faits dans des listes ou dans des récits. Au cœur de ces problématiques se retrouvent les notions de territoire, seigneurie, paroisse mais également des sujets qui rénovent l'histoire sociale, telle l'anthroponymie. L'histoire économique, quant à elle, dépassant les débats qui ont structuré son historiographie dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, cherche à définir les notions-clés de crise ou de commercialisation et s'interroge sur le fonctionnement concret de la société paysanne. Conçu comme un hommage à Monique Bourin et à son œuvre d'historienne, ce livre atteste de la richesse et de la fécondité de son enseignement ainsi que de son talent à transformer un champ d'études en guidant et fédérant les travaux de très nombreux chercheurs.

The Oxford Handbook of the New Cultural History of Music cultivates a return to the fundamental premises of cultural history in the work of musicologists concerned with cultural history and historians who deal with music. In this volume, noted academics from both of these disciplines illustrate the continuing endeavor of cultural history to grasp the realms of human experience, understanding, and communication as they are manifest or expressed symbolically through various layers of culture and in many forms of art. This book demonstrates how music is becoming a unique mode of access into specific cites of cultural representation, exchange, contestation, and the construction of experience.
