C'est un défi de taille, pour les archivistes, les bibliothécaires, les muséologues ou les documentalistes spécialisés, de conserver la mémoire et la trace du spectacle vivant, dans une société où les techniques évoluent sans cesse. Les techniques d'enregistrement audiovisuel et les supports pour conserver les images se sont modifiés. La mise en valeur de nouveaux médias est une gageure dans la conception des expositions. Enfin, les pratiques de recherche et l'essor conjoint des bases de données ont modifié la donne. Tels sont les nombreux sujets de réflexion qui se sont offerts aux membres de la SIBMAS (Société internationale des bibliothèques et musées des arts du specta...

Politics of Pasts and Futures in (Post-)Imperial Contexts

Although empires have played a decisive role in political thinking and the orientation of political goals at all times, the focus of research has so far mostly been on spatial and ideological aspects. This volume, on the other hand, offers a multi-disciplinary collection of studies that deal with the instrumentalization and ongoing impacts of perspectives on empire and their place in time. Coming from archaeology, history, art history, literary studies, and social sciences, the individual case studies discuss perceptions of imperial histories and imagined futures of empires, both in imperial and in post-imperial contexts. The transcending historical significance of the imperial ideas and ideals shows the deep and long-lasting effects of empire in landscapes, mindscapes, and social structures. The diachronic cut through all epochs from antiquity to modern times is complemented by a broad global view to deepen the temporal understanding of imperial imaginaries as well as their political implications.

  • Publisher: BRILL

This is the second update of A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology, which appeared in 2002. It is meant to do two things: to present references to works on medieval military history and technology not included in the first two volumes; and to present references to all books and articles published on medieval military history and technology from 2003 to 2006. These references are divided into the same categories as in the first two volumes and cover a chronological period of the same length, from late antiquity to 1648, again in order to present a more complete picture of influences on and from the Middle Ages. It also continues to cover the same geographical area as the first and second volume, in essence Europe and the Middle East, or, again, influences on and from this area. The languages of these bibliographical references reflect this geography.

The Mauritian Novel

This book analyses how the idea – or the problem - of belonging is articulated in a range of contemporary francophone Mauritian novels. Waters explores how forms of affective belonging intersect with the exclusionary ‘politics of belonging’ in novels by Nathacha Appanah, Ananda Devi, Shenaz Patel, Bertrand de Robillard, Amal Sewtohul and Carl de Souza.

Le défi du patrimoine immatériel est de capturer l'essence du spectacle : l'idée de « capture » a cela d'intéressant qu'elle suppose que les professionnels impliqués dans la SIBMAS soient comme des chasseurs, sur la piste, de toutes sortes de façons, afin de coincer et de recueillir un petit quelque chose d'éphémère, qui en vaut la peine, et qui nous en apprend sur nous-mêmes et sur notre monde. Certains chasseurs se servent des bases de données, d'autres des écrits ou des images - mais tous partagent un même objectif : ne pas laisser se perdre un moment spécial, magique, que seule la vie du spectacle peut générer. The challenge of intangible heritage is to capture the esse...

After the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, an elderly Swiss tourist finds himself stranded in America. Unable to go home, he and other survivors set up a small agricultural settlement in Alabama and defend it against marauders. After more than one year he discovers that a few European countries, although severely affected by the zombie pandemic, had managed to hang on, and he manages to return to Europe thanks to the French navy. Months later he returns to America as advisor to a French scientific expedition. Their road trip takes them to the Gulf coast, West Texas, Kansas and the Appalachians. They return with important information about the zombies and about the few survivors in America. An alarming incident with a zombie brought back from this expedition leads to one more trip across the ocean, this time as advisor to a battalion-sized French army unit. In the end the scientists succeed in finding the origin of the zombie pandemic.
