Abstract

Des Français, des Lorrains surtout, partent au XVIIIe siècle coloniser le Banat, région d’Europe centrale au cœur de la monarchie des Habsbourg. À la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, une partie des descendants de ces pionniers arrive, après de saisissantes péripéties, à rejoindre la France et faire revivre le village de La Roque‑sur‑Pernes. Smaranda Vultur, anthropologue et historienne roumaine, s’est penchée sur cette odyssée, en mobilisant une importante iconographie et de nombreux témoignages inédits en français. Au fil de ces pages, se dessinent des destinées incroyables qui construisent une mémoire partagée et un récit commun. Référence essentielle pour cette histoire unique, ce livre est aussi appelé à devenir un classique pour quiconque s’interroge sur la création de mythes mémoriels, sur la production de discours rassembleurs, bref sur la définition même de toute identité collective.

Abstract

Cette étude cherche à identifier les besoins primaires selon le « Good Lives Model » chez des adolescents en conflits avec la loi. Sur cette base, notre principale question de recherche s’intitulera donc : « Comment se distribuent les besoins primaires du GLM chez des adolescents placés en institution publique ? ».&#13;Notre échantillon est composé de vingt adolescents de treize à dix-huit ans, résidant au moment du remplissage du questionnaire dans une institution publique de protection de la jeunesse en Wallonie. Ce questionnaire est constitué de trois parties distinctes reposant sur le « Good Lives Questionnaire » (GLQ) de Harper (2021), le « Wolrd Health Quality of Life » (WHOQOL-BREF) de Finnerty (2020) et du questionnaire sur la représentation de soi actuelle et future de Fouquet (2022). &#13;Les résultats ont démontré des tendances chez certains besoins primaires tandis que d’autres ont affiché des différences. Cependant, il reste primordial dans un cadre comme celui-ci de travailler de manière individuelle avec les jeunes.

Abstract

Drawing upon historicist and cultural studies approaches to literature, this book argues that the Romantic construction of the self emerged out of the growth of commercial print culture and the expansion and fragmentation of the reading public beginning in eighteenth-century Britain. Arguing for continuity between eighteenth-century literature and the rise of Romanticism, this groundbreaking book traces the influence of new print market conditions on the development of the Romantic poetic self.

Abstract

International expositions or "world's fairs" are the largest and most important stage on which millions routinely gather to directly experience, express, and respond to cultural difference. Rather than looking at Asian representation at the hands of colonizing powers, something already much examined, Asian Self-Representation at World's Fairs instead focuses on expressions of an empowered Asian self-representation at world's fairs in the West after the so-called golden age of the exhibition. New modes of representation became possible as the older "exhibitionary order" of earlier fairs gave way to a dominant "performative order," one increasingly preoccupied with generating experience and affect. Using case studies of national representation at selected fairs over the hundred-year period from 1915-2015, this book considers both the politics of representation as well as what happens within the imaginative worlds of Asian country pavilions, where the performative has become the dominant mode for imprinting directly on human bodies.

Abstract

This collection of fifteen essays by scholars from the UK, the US, Germany, and Scandinavia revisits the question of German identity. Unlike previous books on this topic, however, the focus is not exclusively on national identity in the aftermath of Hitler. Instead, the concentration is upon the plurality of ethnic, sexual, political, geographical, and cultural identities in modern Germany, and on their often fragmentary nature as the country struggles with the challenges of unification and international developments such as globalization, multiculturalism, and postmodernism. The multifaceted nature of German identity demands a variety of approaches: thus the essays are interdisciplinary, drawing upon historical, sociological, and literary sources. They are organized with reference to three distinct sections: Berlin, Political Formations, and Difference; yet at the same time they illuminate one another across the volume, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex question of identity in today's Germany. Topics include the new self-understanding of the Berlin Republic, Berlin as a public showcase, the Berlin architecture debate, the Walser-Bubis debate, fictions of German history and the end of the GDR, the impact of the German student movement on the FRG, Prime Minister Biedenkopf and the myth of Saxon identity, women in post-1989 Germany, trains as symbols and the function of the foreign in post-1989 fiction, identity construction among Turks in Germany and Turkish self-representation in post-1989 fiction, the state of German literature today. Contributors: Frank Brunssen, Ulrike Zitzlsperger Janet Stewart, Kathrin Schödel, Karen Leeder, Ingo Cornils, Peter Thompson, Chris Szejnmann, Sabine Lang, Simon Ward, Roswitha Skare, Eva Kolinsky, Margaret Littler, Katharina Gerstenberger, and Stuart Parkes. Stuart Taberner is Lecturer in German, and Frank Finlay is Professor of German and Head of the Department of German, both at the University of Leeds, UK.

Abstract

All groups tell stories about their beginnings. Such tales are oft-repeated, finely wrought, and usually much beloved. Among those institutions most in need of an impressive creation account is the state: it's one of the primary ways states attempt to legitimate themselves. But such founding narratives invite revisionist retellings that modify details of the story in ways that undercut, ironize, and even ridicule the state's ideal self-representation. Medieval accounts of how Norway was unified by its first king provide a lively, revealing, and wonderfully entertaining example of this process. Taking the story of how Harald Fairhair unified Norway in the ninth century as its central example, Bruce Lincoln illuminates the way a state's foundation story blurs the distinction between history and myth and how variant tellings of origin stories provide opportunities for dissidence and subversion as subtle-or not so subtle-modifications are introduced through details of character, incident, and plot structure. Lincoln reveals a pattern whereby texts written in Iceland were more critical and infinitely more subtle than those produced in Norway, reflecting the fact that the former had a dual audience: not just the Norwegian court, but also Icelanders of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, whose ancestors had fled from Harald and founded the only non-monarchic, indeed anti-monarchic, state in medieval Europe. Between History and Myth will appeal not only to specialists in Scandinavian literature and history but also to anyone interested in memory and narrative.

Abstract

A recent coinage within international relations, “nation branding” designates the process of highlighting a country’s positive characteristics for promotional purposes, using techniques similar to those employed in marketing and public relations. Nation Branding in Modern History takes an innovative approach to illuminating this contested concept, drawing on fascinating case studies in the United States, China, Poland, Suriname, and many other countries, from the nineteenth century to the present. It supplements these empirical contributions with a series of historiographical essays and analyses of key primary documents, making for a rich and multivalent investigation into the nexus of cultural marketing, self-representation, and political power.

Abstract

In this skillful analysis, Leslie Peirce delves into the life of a sixteenth-century Middle Eastern community, bringing to light the ways that women and men used their local law court to solve personal, family, and community problems. Examining one year's proceedings of the court of Aintab, an Anatolian city that had recently been conquered by the Ottoman sultanate, Peirce argues that local residents responded to new opportunities and new constraints by negotiating flexible legal practices. Their actions and the different compromises they reached in court influenced how society viewed gender and also created a dialogue with the ruling regime over mutual rights and obligations. Locating its discussion of gender and legal issues in the context of the changing administrative practices and shifting power relations of the period, Morality Tales argues that it was only in local interpretation that legal rules acquired vitality and meaning.

Abstract

Authoring the Past surveys medieval Catalan historiography, shedding light on the emergence and evolution of historical writing and autobiography in the Middle Ages, on questions of authority and authorship, and on the links between history and politics during the period. Jaume Aurell examines texts from the late twelfth to the late fourteenth century-including the Latin Gesta comitum Barcinonensium and four texts in medieval Catalan: James I's Llibre dels fets, the Crònica of Bernat Desclot, the Crònica of Ramon Muntaner, and the Crònica of Peter the Ceremonious-and outlines the different motivations for the writing of each. For Aurell, these chronicles are not mere archaeological artifacts but rather documents that speak to their writers' specific contemporary social and political purposes. He argues that these Catalonian counts and Aragonese kings were attempting to use their role as authors to legitimize their monarchical status, their growing political and economic power, and their aggressive expansionist policies in the Mediterranean. By analyzing these texts alongside one another, Aurell demonstrates the shifting contexts in which chronicles were conceived, written, and read throughout the Middle Ages. The first study of its kind to make medieval Catalonian writings available to English-speaking audiences, Authoring the Past will be of interest to scholars of history and comparative literature, students of Hispanic and Romance medieval studies, and medievalists who study the chronicle tradition in other languages.

Abstract

Wenn ein Rockgitarrist von einer Kokospalme purzelt, wie 2010 Keith Richards, wird seine Genesung jubelnd medial gefeiert. Literaten hingegen haben es schwer - für werbewirksame Kapriolen gelten sie als nicht realitätstüchtig genug. Was also bleibt den Dichtern? Sich medienwirksam intellektuell und sprach-artistisch ins Rampenlicht zu manövrieren! Carolin John-Wenndorf entwickelt eine längst überfällige Theorie schriftstellerischer Selbstinszenierung: von einem Werkzeugkasten zur Analyse visueller, verbaler und performativer schriftstellerischer Handlungen, einem Gang durch die Kulturgeschichte dichterischer Selbstinszenierung - von Walther von der Vogelweide bis Charlotte Roche - sowie einem Katalog universeller Inszenierungsstrategien bis hin zu einer kleinen Dichter-Typologie. Es ist ein Grundlagenwerk über die Selbstdarstellung von Autoren aus historischer, diskursanalytischer und repräsentationskritischer Sicht. »Mit leichter Feder und einer gehörigen Portion Ironie formuliert.« Steffen Martus, GERMANISTIK, 58/1-2 (2017) »Carolin John-Wenndorfs Arbeit [bildet] einen innovativen Beitrag zur gegenwärtig florierenden Literaturbetriebsforschung, an dessen Materialfülle und Thesen künftige Überlegungen anknüpfen können.« Steffen Richter, Zeitschrift für Germanistik, 1 (2016) O-Ton: »Wie sich Schriftsteller öffentlich inszenieren« - Carolin John-Wenndorf im Gespräch beim SRF am 09.03.2015. »[Eine] große Leistung der Verfasserin, das komplexe Thema einmal in all seinen Facetten ausgeleuchtet zu haben.« Regina Roßbach, www.literaturkritik.de, 12 (2014) »Wer mehr über Geschichte und Hintergründe öffentlicher Autorenauftritte erfahren möchte, dem sei Carolin John-Wenndorfs Studie [...] empfohlen.« Eva Karnofsky, SWR2 - Die Buchkritik, 23.10.2014 O-Ton: »Die Posen und Eitelkeiten der Künstler« - Carolin John-Wenndorf im Interview beim Deutschlandfunk am 20.08.2014.
