"Des Vandales l'abbé Grégoire avait en 1794 tiré "un mot pour tuer la chose" : vandalisme. l'imagination des peuples et celle des savants se sont souvent conjuguées pour faire des "hordes barbares" qui franchirent le Rhin la nuit du 31 décembre 405 ou 406 le symbole de l'hostilité à toute civilisation, l'ouvrage posthume d'Yves Modéran entend faire justice des stéréotypes et proposer une histoire des Vandales fondée sur la recherche la plus à jour, depuis les siècles obscurs de leurs origines jusqu'à leur installation dans l'Afrique du Nord romaine au Ve siècle de notre ère. C'est alors qu'ils assiégeaient Hippone que saint Augustin mourut le 28 août 430. La prise de Carthage, à l'automne 439, signa l'établissement d'un "royaume barbare" dans l'une des régions les plus prospères de l'Empire romain, qui fut ainsi singulièrement affaibli. Un siècle plus tard, l'historien grec Procope, qui participa à l'expédition de reconquête victorieuse de l'Afrique menée par les troupes de l'empereur Justinien en 533, et qui fut donc un témoin direct du dernier Etat du royaume vandale, pouvait écrire : "De tous les peuples que nous connaissons, les Vandales sont le plus délicat." Yves Modéran commentait : "Si les conquérants des années 430 n'étaient certainement pas de paisibles voyageurs, leurs descendants étaient plus romains que beaucoup de leurs vainqueurs.""--P. [4] of cover.

"In ten essays authored by an international team of scholars, this volume explores queer readings of Western and Eastern Mediterranean Europe, Northern Africa, Islam and Arabic traditions. The contributors enter into a dialogue, comparing cases from opposite sides of the Mediterranean, in order to analyze the forgotten exchange of sexualities that was brought forth through the Mediterranean and its bordering landmasses during the Middle Ages. This collection questions the hypothesis that distinct cultures treated sexuality and the "other" differently. The volume initiates the conversation around queerness and sexuality on these trade routes, and problematizes the differences between various Mediterranean cultures in order to argue that through both queerness and sexuality, neighboring civilizations had access to, and knowledge of, common shared experiences. Contributors are Sahar Amer, Israel Burshatin, Robert L.A. Clark, Denise K. Filos, Ellen Lorraine Friedrich, Edmund Hayes, Gregory S. Hutcheson, Vicente Lledó-Guillem, Leyla Rouhi, and Robert S. Sturges"--

Trade, shipping, military conquest, migration and settlement in the eastern Mediterranean of the 10th-15th centuries generated multiple encounters between states, social and 'national' groups, and individuals belonging to Latin Christianity, Byzantium and the Islamic world. The nature of these encounters varied widely, depending on whether they were the result of cooperation, rivalry or clashes between states, the outcome of Latin conquest, which altered the social and legal status of indigenous subjects, or the result of economic activity. They had wide-ranging social and economic repercussions, and shaped both individual and collective perceptions and attitudes. These often differed, depending upon 'nationality', standing within the dominant or subject social strata, or purely economic considerations. In any event, at the individual level common economic interests transcended collective 'national' and cultural boundaries, except in times of crisis. The studies in this latest collection by David Jacoby explore the multiple facets of these eastern Mediterranean encounters and their impact upon individual economic activities, with special attention to the 'other', outsiders in foreign environments, foreign privileged versus indigenous traders, the link between governmental intervention, 'naturalization', and fiscal status, as well as the interaction between markets and peasants.
