Book Synopsis L'espace géographique au Moyen Âge by : Patrick Gautier Dalché
Download or read book L'espace géographique au Moyen Âge written by Patrick Gautier Dalché and published by Sismel. This book was released on 2013 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage rassemble vingt articles parus entre 1982 et 2010, unis par une même approche. Ils relèvent de l'histoire intellectuelle et de l'histoire des sciences nécessairement appuyées sur la philologie et présentent plusieurs textes inédits. Ces travaux situent dans leur contexte de pensée et de culture les documents médiévaux traitant de l'espace terrestre en évitant de plaquer des catégories modernes sur des données plus complexes qu'il ne le semble au premier abord. Les représentations de l'espace du Moyen Age ne sont pas la préhistoire d'une géographie 'scientifique' qui apparaîtrait à la Renaissance et se fonderait sur la 'découverte du monde' (Michelet et Burckhardt), par opposition à un Moyen Âge 'symbolique' dont les productions ne seraient que porteuses de valeurs. L'ensemble repose sur l'idée qu'il y a une histoire des représentations médiévales de l'espace. Elles constituent un système savant et opératoire de repérage des lieux de l'orbis terrarum conçus en relation avec l'ensemble de l'univers élémentaire et céleste. Héritage de l'Antiquité tardive, ce système fut sans cesse transformé et adapté aux circonstances historiques: invasions de peuples inouïs, pénétration dans l'Asie profonde, contacts avec les infidèles.

Book Synopsis Space in the Medieval West by : Fanny Madeline
Download or read book Space in the Medieval West written by Fanny Madeline and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last two decades, research on spatial paradigms and practices has gained momentum across disciplines and vastly different periods, including the field of medieval studies. Responding to this ’spatial turn’ in the humanities, the essays collected here generate new ideas about how medieval space was defined, constructed, and practiced in Europe, particularly in France. Essays are grouped thematically and in three parts, from specific sites, through the broader shaping of territory by means of socially constructed networks, to the larger geographical realm. The resulting collection builds on existing scholarship but brings new insight, situating medieval constructions of space in relation to contemporary conceptions of the subject.
Book Synopsis Cartography in Antiquity and the Middle Ages by :
Download or read book Cartography in Antiquity and the Middle Ages written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-08-31 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In scope, this book matches The History of Cartography, vol. 1 (1987) edited by Brian Harley and David Woodward. Now, twenty years after the appearance of that seminal work, classicists and medievalists from Europe and North America highlight, distill and reflect on the remarkably productive progress made since in many different areas of the study of maps. The interaction between experts on antiquity and on the Middle Ages evident in the thirteen contributions offers a guide to the future and illustrates close relationships in the evolving practice of cartography over the first millennium and a half of the Christian era. Contributors are Emily Albu, Raymond Clemens, Lucy Donkin, Evelyn Edson, Tom Elliott, Patrick Gauthier Dalché, Benjamin Kedar, Maja Kominko, Natalia Lozovsky, Yossef Rapoport, Emilie Savage-Smith, Camille Serchuk, Richard Talbert, and Jennifer Trimble.

Book Synopsis History, Space and Place by : Susanne Rau
Download or read book History, Space and Place written by Susanne Rau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spaces, too, have a history. And history always takes place in spaces. But what do historians mean when they use the word "spaces"? And how can spaces be historically investigated? Susanne Rau provides a survey of the history of Western concepts of space, opens up interdisciplinary approaches to the phenomenon of space in fields ranging from physics and geography to philosophy and sociology, and explains how historical spatial analysis can be methodologically and conceptually conceived and carried out in practice. The case studies presented in the book come from the fields of urban history, the history of trade, and global history including the history of cartography, but its analysis is equally relevant to other fields of inquiry. This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to the theory and methodology of historical spatial analysis. Supported by Open Access funds of the University of Erfurt

Book Synopsis Le monde au Moyen Age by : Jean-Philippe Genet
Download or read book Le monde au Moyen Age written by Jean-Philippe Genet and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici couvert l'ensemble de l'histoire politique du monde médiéval. IVe-XVe siècle : plus d'un millénaire et des espaces sans cesse mouvants. Le point de départ est la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident. Le Moyen-Age occidental naît de l'élargissement de l'espace créé par la collision entre un empire méditerranéen et l'âge de fer du monde des steppes et des forêts nordiques. L'Empire d'Orient, lui, s'épuise dans sa lutte contre les Barbares et sa concurrence avec les Perses. Tâche démesurée qui l'empêche de résister à l'expansion de l'Islam qui représente l'autre extension décisive du monde médiéval. Au XIIIe siècle, la conquête mongole élargit encore l'horizon, ouvert à l'ensemble du continent asiatique, dont la fermeture au siècle suivant détermine les entreprises européennes vers l'Ouest, de l'Afrique à l'Atlantique. En quatre étapes majeures, l'ensemble du monde habité forme pour la première fois un espace continu. L'histoire politique du Moyen Age n'est intelligible qu'en fonction de cette vision dynamique de l'espace. Car celui-ci une fois ouvert, et donc incontrôlable, pose le problème du pouvoir. Naissent alors de nouvelles formes d'autorité, dont l'Etat moderne qui commence à s'imposer. De très nombreuses cartes, un récit clair et structuré font de cet ouvrage un instrument indispensable pour les étudiants en Histoire et les candidats aux concours d'enseignement.
Book Synopsis Macbeth Before Shakespeare by : Benjamin Hudson
Download or read book Macbeth Before Shakespeare written by Benjamin Hudson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Macbeth before Shakespeare is the history of a man and a myth. The man is the historical King Mac bethad while the myth is his literary descendant Macbeth. During the five and a half centuries before William Shakespeare wrote his Tragedie of Macbeth the man was replaced by the myth that was recreated in the hands of successive authors. The real prince's ancestors had been immigrants to Britain from Ireland and Mac bethad's career began after the murder of his father by his cousins. The literary character was created as the family of his rival Malcolm Canmore became supreme and wrote their own history with Macbeth as their villain. The evolution continued and in the fifteenth century he was accompanied by otherworldly beings, diabolical prophecies, and natural phenomenon. Macbeth was recast early in the sixteenth century and took his place in the intellectual warfare of Scotland. The legend moved to England in Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles where a new Macbeth had a complex personality with fashionable interests in law and unfashionable ones in the occult. The succession of King James I of England led English acting companies, such as the Lord Chamberlain's Men with actor and playwright William Shakespeare, to produce plays with Scottish scenes or characters. King James became their patron and as a member of the King's Men, Shakespeare wrote his Tragedie of Macbeth, one of their most popular plays from the seventeenth century to the present"--
Book Synopsis Geography and Religious Knowledge in the Medieval World by : Christoph Mauntel
Download or read book Geography and Religious Knowledge in the Medieval World written by Christoph Mauntel and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the medieval world, geographical knowledge was influenced by religious ideas and beliefs. Whereas this point is well analysed for the Latin-Christian world, the religious character of the Arabic-Islamic geographic tradition has not yet been scrutinised in detail. This volume addresses this desideratum and combines case studies from both traditions of geographic thinking. The contributions comprise in-depth analyses of individual geographical works as for example those of al-Idrisi or Lambert of Saint-Omer, different forms of presenting geographical knowledge such as TO-diagrams or globes as well as performative aspects of studying and meditating geographical knowledge. Focussing on texts as well as on maps, the contributions open up a comparative perspective on how religious knowledge influenced the way the world and its geography were perceived and described int the medieval world.
Book Synopsis Voyages and Travel Accounts in Historiography and Literature. Volume I by : Boris Stojkovski
Download or read book Voyages and Travel Accounts in Historiography and Literature. Volume I written by Boris Stojkovski and published by Trivent Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travelling is one of the most fascinating phenomena that has inspired writers and scholars from Antiquity to our postmodern age. The father of history, Herodotus, was also a traveller, whose Histories can easily be considered a travel account. The first volume of this book is dedicated to the period starting from Herodotus himself until the end of the Middle Ages with focus on the Balkans, the Byzantine Empire, the Islamic world, and South-Eastern Europe. Research on travellers who connected civilizations; manuscript and literary traditions; musicology; geography; flora and fauna as reflected in travel accounts, are all part of this thought-provoking collected volume dedicated to detailed aspects of voyages and travel accounts up to the end of the sixteenth century. The second volume of this book is dedicated to the period between Early Modernity and today, including modern receptions of travelling in historiography and literature. South-Eastern Europe and Serbia; the Chinese, Ottoman, and British perception of travelling; pilgrimages to the Holy land and other sacred sites; Serbian, Arabic, and English literature; legal history and travelling, and other engaging topics are all part of the second volume dedicated to aspects of voyages and travel accounts up to the contemporary era.
