Quand est apparue la carte d’identité ? Quelles logiques ont présidé à sa création et à ses évolutions ? Quels furent depuis le xixe siècle les réactions, les débats et les multiples formes de résistance face aux entreprises d’encartement envisagées ou conduites par les pouvoirs publics ? Pierre Piazza, s’appuyant sur de nombreuses sources inédites, cerne, dans une perspective historique, les enjeux qui ont accompagné l’instauration de ce document aussi familier qu’essentiel et sa progressive généralisation en France. L’analyse accorde notamment une large place à la période 1940-1944 et révèle des aspects méconnus et troublants du régime de Vichy. Un regard inédit pour mieux comprendre nombre de problématiques au cœur des débats sur la citoyenneté, la sécurité. Pierre Piazza est docteur en science politique et chargé de recherche à l’Institut des hautes études de la sécurité intérieure.
A New History of Ireland is the largest scholarly project in modern Irish history. In 9 volumes, it provides a comprehensive new synthesis of modern scholarship on every aspect of Irish history and prehistory, from the earliest geological and archaeological evidence, through the Middle Ages, down to the present day. The third volume opens with a character study of early modern Ireland and a panoramic survey of Ireland in 1534, followed by twelve chapters of narrative history. There are further chapters on the economy, the coinage, languages and literature, and the Irish abroad. Two surveys, `Land and People', c.1600 and c.1685, are included.
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.
