Governing the Environment in the Early Modern World
Throughout the early modern period, scientific debate and governmental action became increasingly preoccupied with the environment, generating discussion across Europe and the wider world as to how to improve land and climate for human benefit. This discourse eventually promoted the reconsideration of long-held beliefs about the role of climate in upholding the social order, driving economies and affecting public health. Governing the Environment in the Early Modern World explores the relationship between cultural perceptions of the environment and practical attempts at environmental regulation and change between 1500 and 1800. Taking a cultural and intellectual approach to early modern envi...
Ordinary Sudan, 1504-2019
This book starts from the premise that the study of "exceptionally normal" women and men - as conceived by microhistory - has radical implications for understanding history and politics, and applies this notion to Sudan. Against a historiography dominated by elite actors and international agents, it examines both how ordinary people have brought about the most important political shifts in the country's history (including the recent revolution in 2019) and how they have played a role in maintaining authoritarian regimes. It also explores how men and women have led their daily lives through a web of ordinary worries, desires and passions. The book includes contributions by historians, anthrop...

Agricultures familiales et et territoires dans les Suds
Si la proclamation en 2014 de l’année internationale de l’agriculture familiale a remis à l’ordre du jour le débat sur les modèles de développement et les formes sociales de l’agriculture, les nombreuses publications qui en ont résulté abordent rarement les problématiques de l’agriculture familiale en lien avec la question des territoires. C’est cet angle mort que propose d’étudier cet ouvrage en rendant compte d’analyses plus spécifiquement axées sur les recompositions territoriales associées aux dynamiques des agricultures familiales. Confrontant des réalités situées dans différents contextes sociogéographiques (Afrique du Nord et subsaharienne, Proche-Orie...
Il territorio non è un asino. Voci di attori deboli
"I luoghi [...] non sono bestie da soma. I luoghi sono soggetti culturali, 'parlano', dialogano del lungo processo di antropizzazione attraverso il paesaggio, restituiscono identità, memoria, lingua, culture materiali, messaggi simbolici e affettivi. Finché [...] tratteremo i luoghi come bestie da soma [...] resteremo all'oscuro delle loro ricchezze profonde" (Magnaghi). Il territorio è troppo spesso inteso come un asino piuttosto che un "soggetto vivente" da riscoprire. I contributi di questo volume intendono essere un'occasione per riflettere su come "scaricare" il mite animale e considerare se mandare in "pensione" la metafora. Tante esperienze mostrano come le organizzazioni di attori...
