Abstract

Making Early Medieval Societies explores a fundamental question: what held the small- and large-scale communities of the late Roman and early medieval West together, at a time when the world seemed to be falling apart? Historians and anthropologists have traditionally asked parallel questions about the rise and fall of empires and how societies create a sense of belonging and social order in the absence of strong governmental institutions. This book draws on classic and more recent anthropologists' work to consider dispute settlement and conflict management during and after the end of the Roman Empire. Contributions range across the internecine rivalries of late Roman bishops, the marital disputes of warrior kings, and the tension between religious leaders and the unruly crowds in western Europe after the first millennium - all considering the mechanisms through which conflict could be harnessed as a force for social stability or an engine for social change.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage constitue les Actes du colloque tenu à Tours les 7, 8, et 9 septembre 1998, qui a rassemblé des spécialistes de toutes les périodes de l’histoire dans une perspective totalement diachronique et pour une large aire géographique, de la Sicile grecque à la France du xxe siècle , en passant par les Cités-États de l’Italie ou de l’Allemagne médiévales. Une réflexion y est menée sur la pertinence de l’emploi du mot patriciat à travers les âges et les cultures, ainsi que sur les éléments constitutifs de l’identité patricienne au regard le l’ensemble des familles de l’élite urbaine. Les processus de formation et de pérennisation des lignages sont mis en lumière, de même que leurs mode d’insertion dans la cité et dans ses instances dirigeants et leurs systèmes de représentations face aux contemporains et à la postérité.

Abstract

This work provides a sweeping historical analysis of the political development of Western Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Arguing that the evolution of most Western European nations into liberal democracies, social democracies, or fascist regimes was attributable to a discrete set of social class alliances, the author explores the origins and outcomes of the political development in the individual nations. In Britain, France, and Switzerland, countries with a unified middle class, liberal forces established political hegemony before World War I.

Abstract

This collection of twenty-two original essays investigates the organising forces of social identity and power in early Medieval Europe. The essays take as their starting-points primary literary and historical texts, artefacts and archaeological evidence from a wide geographical area, ranging from the early Celtic world to the emerging city states of twelfth-century Italy. The essays are arranged in four sections which reflect the nexus of power in this period: Community and Family; Saints; Power; Death, Burial and Commemoration.
