The cultural philosophical analysis of the secularization of the exodus contrasts despotic and emancipatory aspects of psychoanalytic, literary and political adaptations of the biblical myth.

Around 1200, a new institution of teaching and learning emerged in Paris: the university. But how was it possible that teachers came together to form a community and regulate their activities? A hitherto underestimated agent in this transformation process was the master Alan of Lille, whose preaching work is comprehensively analysed here for the first time against this background. Contrary to what has long been assumed, he was not an ageing scholar who lamented the end of old learning. Rather, he attempted to stabilise the changing school communities by committing them to common goals, methods and values.

The reprint provides an overview of recent applications of both chemometrics and spectrometric techniques to target current issues associated with food authenticity, traceability, as well as modern approaches on the analysis of food ingredients and products.

Today, the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden is internationally known for its outstanding archaeological collections. Yet its origins lie in an insignificant assortment of artefacts used for study by Leiden University. How did this transformation come about? Ruurd Halbertsma has delved into the archives to show that the appointment of Caspar Reuvens as Professor of Archaeology in 1818 was the crucial turning point. He tells the dramatic story of Reuvens' struggle to establish the museum, with battles against rival scholars, red tape and the Dutch attitude of neglect towards archaeological monuments. This book throws new light on the process of creating a national museum, and the difficulties of convincing society of the value of the past.

In 1645, as the First Civil War approached its end, a second Reformation took place which created profound dislocations in religion and in British society. The Church was disestablished, and godly puritan practices promoted in parish churches and everyday life. Some clergy and parishioners embraced change others were horrified, experiencing these as times of madness and trouble. Historians continue to debate the extent of the social disruption that resulted, and the impact of godly ideals. With an introduction from Professor Bernard Capp, pre-eminent social historian of the period, this collection of essays assesses interregnum religious practice at ground level, based on a sophisticated understanding of the complex and unique pattern of record-keeping and survival from the period. Each chapter takes an original approach, using a specific local or institutional case study or previously under-examined source from England, Scotland or Wales. In the process, we see how ever-evolving national initiatives met local spaces, local traditions and individual personal agendas. We see the tensions produced by the emergence of religious plurality in a society still yearning for social conformity under a uniform practice of religion, the forces for inclusion and exclusion, of acceptance of or estrangement from godly religion.

El siglo XX checo se ha caracterizado por ser muy violento: dos guerras mundiales, la ocupación alemana de Checoslovaquia y después la soviética. Al fin, vino en 1989 la liberación y el restablecimiento de una república democrática. El contenido de esta Jornada son breves ensayos biográficos sobre los tres hombres que más han influido en la historia moderna de los checos y los eslovacos. Masaryk, profesor de filosofía en la Universidad de Praga, luchó durante la primera guerra mundial por la independencia de los checos y los eslovacos; logró fundar la república checoslovaca y fue su presidente de 1918 a 1935. Su sucesor Benes, lo fue de 1935 a 1938, y después de 1945 a 1948. Dubcek fue la figura principal de la "primavera de Praga" en 1968.

Nos anos oitenta do século XIX, Gabriel Pereira publicava, pela primeira vez, os «Documentos Históricos da Cidade de Évora». Nessa colectânea, o autor recolhia alguns dos mais importantes documentos para a história da cidade dispersos, em especial, pelos arquivos locais e, na sua maior parte, inéditos. Entre os vários documentos coligidos por Gabriel Pereira cabe destacar o chamado Regimentos da Cidade de Évora incluído na primeira parte dos Documentos e que aqui, de novo, se apresenta, em conjunto com o original incluído no Arquivo Municipal de Arraiolos. Sendo este último normalmente identificado como sendo uma cópia do primeiro, a publicação conjunta dos dois textos permite uma análise comparativa que aqui é iniciada. Da mesma forma a sua publicação conjunta e o estudo de alguns elementos internos contidos no texto relativo a Évora, nomeadamente no que se refere à identificação dos regedores mencionados, permitiu-nos rever a data proposta até agora para a sua nomeação.

Over one hundred presentations from the 37th annual Charleston Library Conference (held November 6–10, 2017) are included in this annual proceedings volume. Major themes of the meeting included data visualization, analysis and assessment of collections and library users, demand-driven acquisition, the future of print collections, and open access publishing. While the Charleston meeting remains a core one for acquisitions librarians in dialog with publishers and vendors, the breadth of coverage of this volume reflects the fact that this conference continues to be one of the major venues for leaders in the publishing and library communities to shape strategy and prepare for the future. Almost 2,000 delegates attended the 2017 meeting, ranging from the staff of small public library systems to the CEOs of major corporations. This fully indexed, copyedited volume provides a rich source for the latest evidence-based research and lessons from practice in a range of information science fields. The contributors are leaders in the library, publishing, and vendor communities.

Par sa thèse sur ""La crise rurale en Ile-de-France"", parue en 1974, Jean Jacquart est devenu l'un des spécialistes européens de l'histoire rurale. L'ensemble des articles réunis dans la première partie : L'agriculture et les ruraux, témoigne de sa quête méthodologique, de la classique mise à jour des indicateurs conjoncturels et à la réflexion sur les rentes ou la métrologie d'avant l'ère statistique. Le dernier aspect de cette recherche, la question de la communauté rurale, s'est montré par...

Les rapports qu’une société ou un groupe social entretient avec la mémoire et l’imaginaire sont sensiblement différents au Brésil et en France. L’une des originalités de la société brésilienne est qu’elle met en question la pensée catégorielle et classificatoire qui présuppose une séparation rigide du passé et du présent, de la mémoire et de l’imaginaire, de la réalité et de la fiction. Ainsi, lorsque l’individu ou le groupe ne s’appréhende plus à partir d’une matrice culturelle exclusive, l’histoire des autres est susceptible de devenir une partie de sa propre histoire, c’est-à-dire une composante de soi. Cet ouvrage, qui représente les actes d’un colloque tenu à Lyon en 2000, s’ouvre par un texte de Jean Duvignaud et s’organise autour de quatre axes : la mémoire, l’imaginaire et le politique ; la mémoire, l’imaginaire et le religieux ; la mémoire, l’imaginaire et la création artistique ; les regards comparés enfin de l’imaginaire brésilien de la France et de l’imaginaire français du Brésil. Il a été préparé par le Centre de Recherches et d’Études Anthropologiques (CREA) de l’université Lumière Lyon 2 et la Pos-graduação em Sociologia da Universidade federal do Ceará (Fortaleza) dans le cadre d’un accord CAPES-COFECUB dirigé par Ismael Pordeus et François Laplantine.
