Regional Identity and Economic Change
The current debate about the best methods of European organization - central or regional - is influenced by an awareness of regional identity, which offers an alternative to the rigidities of organization by nation-state. Yet where does the sense of regionalism come from? What are thedistinctive factors that transform a geographical area into a particular 'region'? Tom Scott addresses these questions in this study of one apparently 'natural' region - the Upper Rhine - between 1450 and 1600. This region has been divided between three countries and so historically marginalized,yet Dr Scott is able to trace the existence of a sense of historical regional identity cutting across national frontiers, founded on common economic interests. But that identity was always contingent and precarious, neither 'natural' nor immutable.

La carte postale, miroir du val de Lièpvre
Une riche collection de cartes postales anciennes. Un passé local dense et varié. Une synthèse axée sur quatorze thèmes, illustrés par de nombreux documents iconographiques adaptés aux textes, tel est le corps de cet ouvrage historique, qui invite à la découverte d'une vallée aux multiples facettes. Le Val de Lièpvre recèle mille et un trésors miniers, textiles, agricoles et artisanaux, révélés ici dans un jeu subtil mariant le texte et l'image, égrenant - au fil des pages - une foule de renseignements sur la vie d'autrefois. Truffé d'anecdotes et de témoignages, ce miroir pictural renvoie, comme autant de clins d'œil, les reflets d'un passé qui viennent enrichir le présent.
