Cultures of Eschatology

In all religions, in the medieval West as in the East, ideas about the past, the present and the future were shaped by expectations related to the End. The volumes Cultures of Eschatology explore the many ways apocalyptic thought and visions of the end intersected with the development of pre-modern religio-political communities, with social changes and with the emergence of new intellectual and literary traditions. The two volumes present a wide variety of case studies from the early Christian communities of Antiquity, through the times of the Islamic invasion and the Crusades and up to modern receptions, from the Latin West to the Byzantine Empire, from South Yemen to the Hidden Lands of Ti...

Las Fronteras Pirenaicas en La Edad Media

Este volumen recoge las actas de un coloquio desarrollado en Toulouse en octubre 2011 con intención de abordar la noción de frontera, cuya complejidad es evidente a lo largo del periodo medieval, y mostrar las tesis doctorales en curso sobre esta temática en Toulouse y Zaragoza. En los 17 textos reunidos y actualizados no solo se trata de la evolución territorial y de la frontera con el islam, sino también de la circulación de bienes e ideas entre las dos vertientes de la cadena pirenaica. Los trabajos interdisciplinares realizados por jóvenes investigadores, tanto como la variedad de las fuentes estudiadas, dan cuenta de las líneas de la investigación actual sobre estas problemáticas.

Empires and Communities in the Post-Roman and Islamic World, C. 400-1000 CE

"Empires are not an under-researched topic. Recently, there has been a veritable surge in comparative and conceptual studies, not least of pre-modern empires. The distant past can tell us much about the fates of empires that may still be relevant today, and contemporary historians as well as the general public are generally aware of that. Tracing the general development of an empire, we can discern a kind imperial dynamic which follows the momentum of expansion, relies on the structures and achievements of the formative period for a while, and tends to be caught in a downward spiral at some point. Yet single cases differ so much that a general model is hardly ever sufficient.There is in fact...

La propriété a des origines bien plus anciennes qu’on ne l’imagine. Treize siècles avant notre ère, la Mésopotamie la connaissait et la codifiait bien avant les Grecs et les Romains. Aujourd’hui, il n’en existe aucune définition universelle. Chaque pays, chaque culture, chaque histoire se l’approprient. « Inviolable et sacrée » chez les Français, elle est un « faisceau de droits » pour les Anglo-Saxons, collective en Afrique, singulière en Asie… Violente par essence et pacificatrice dans l’usage, la propriété apparaît dès lors comme le meilleur outil, voire la meilleure arme pour comprendre le monde où nous sommes. Dans Propriété. Le sujet et sa chose, Chris...

Ibero-Mediävistik

Der Begriff Ibero-Mediävistik bezeichnet den Zweig der Geschichtswissenschaft, der die iberischen Reiche des Mittelalters erforscht. Das inhaltliche Spektrum der Untersuchungen ist groß, die herangezogenen Quellentypen sind vielfältig. Diese Vielfalt aufzuzeigen ist das Anliegen dieser Aufsatzsammlung. Die Beiträge erforschen die Geschichte christlicher, muslimischer und jüdischer Gemeinschaften auf der iberischen Halbinsel aus unterschiedlichen und innovativen Perspektiven; sie reflektieren den lebendigen Dialog zwischen deutscher, spanischer und portugiesischer Mittelalterforschung.
