Beneath the Lines
This book brings together ten empirically rich and theoretically informed contributions that aim to clarify both geo-historical specificities and common transnational and global features of the cultures and practices of boundary making that shaped modern statehood. Written by scholars from Spain, France, Italy, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, the essays included in this volume provide a comparative international perspective on the processes of border formation, as well as an integrative approach that seeks to strengthen the links between renewed geo-historical studies and more contemporary-oriented border studies. The book is addressed to a wide range of researchers, including geographers, historians, political scientists and specialists in geopolitics and the history of international relations.

Silicosis
The most comprehensive book to date on the history of silicosis and the strategies used to combat it. Despite the common perception that “black lung” has been relegated to the dustbin of history, silicosis remains a crucial public health problem that threatens millions of people around the world. This painful and incurable chronic disease, still present in old industrial regions, is now expanding rapidly in emerging economies around the globe. Most industrial sectors—including the metallurgical, glassworking, foundry, stonecutting, building, and tunneling industries—expose their workers to lethal crystalline silica dust. Dental prosthodontists are also at risk, as are sandblasters, p...
Sacred Heart Devotion
In an innovative, pluri-disciplinary approach this volume focuses on how memory in Sacred Heart devotion is created, promulgated and transformed. The volume with contributions by historians, theologians, religious scientists and art historians links the dimension of memory to that of iconography, language, body and ritual practices and sheds light on adaptations, transfers, contestations and variations in a perspective of longue durée from the late Middle Ages to the present. The first part of the volume develops central axes of analysis, which are specifically investigated in the two following parts. The contributions of part two intertwine perspectives of cultural, social and art history ...
Catholicisme et société dans la France du XXe siècle
En France, il n'y a pas si longtemps, le catholicisme occupait le territoire et scandait le temps. II est devenu, dans notre société, affaire de réseaux et de rassemblements ponctuels. Nous étions hier dans un catholicisme de convention, largement partagé, et nous voilà aujourd'hui dans un catholicisme d'élection, réduit à une minorité. Entre ces deux moments, des années 1880 aux années 1980, s'est déployé un catholicisme d'action, porté par un puissant mouvement catholique dont on n'a plus idée. Action, marche vers Dieu : c'était, en 1949, le titre significatif d'un petit ouvrage du père Lebret, dominicain, qui a inspiré bien des militants des patronages, de l'Action cath...

Risques et prises de risques dans les sociétés industrielles
Alors que le thème du risque industriel a très tôt retenu l'attention de praticiens puis de chercheurs venus de multiples horizons, et qu'une discipline consacrée à son étude, la cindynique, a vu le jour dans les années 1980, les travaux des historiens sur le sujet demeurent rares et sont, pour l'essentiel, récents. Cet ouvrage, fruit de la journée d'études organisée le 14 décembre 2005 à l'Université d'Artois (Arras), en ouverture de l'ACI « Le risque industriel et sa gestion sociale », entend remédier à pareil déficit en replaçant dans une perspective historique les travaux antérieurs et les faits établis. Il propose d'abord une réflexion sur une notion complexe en adoptant le temps comme variable essentielle et la longue durée comme champ d'action. Entre perceptions, constructions et réalités, il développe ensuite, à travers huit études de cas exemplaires, une analyse des risques quotidiens et majeurs ainsi que des catastrophes qui ont dramatiquement jalonné la vie des sociétés industrielles au cours de la période contemporaine.
Eating God
Eating God examines the history of the Eucharist as a means for understanding transformations in society from the late Middle Ages onwards. After an introduction on the sacrament from its origins to the Protestant Reformation, this book considers how it changed the customs and habits of society, on not only behavioural and imaginative levels, but also artistic and figurative level. The author focuses on Counter-Reformation Italy as a laboratory for the whole of Christendom subject to Rome, and reflects on how, even today, the transformations of the modern age are relevant and influence contemporary debate. This book offers an innovative path through the history of a sacrament, with consideration of its impact as an ‘object’ that was used, venerated, eaten, depicted and celebrated far beyond the sphere of liturgical celebration. It will be particularly relevant to those interested in cultural history and the history of Christianity.
