Héritiers et bâtisseurs d'une principauté multiple et discontinue, s'étendant des marges bretonnes à l'extrémité de la péninsule italienne, Louis II et Louis III d'Anjou-Provence, qui portent aussi le titre de rois de Jérusalem et de Sicile, ont eu un double défi à relever : maintenir ces territoires après avoir obtenu l'adhésion des populations, au milieu des turbulences de la guerre de Cent Ans et des rivalités méditerranéennes, et gou­verner ce qui pouvait paraître ingouvernable, rassembler des serviteurs et ébaucher un véritable État. Pour ce faire, les princes - et les princesses, leurs mères et épouse - n'ont disposé que d'une étroite marge de manœuvre en raison des événements, mais aussi de la puissance des liens ambigus qui les attachent à la papauté et surtout à la maison de Valois régnant sur le royaume de France, dont leur dynastie et leur fortune sont issues. Au cours d'un demi-siècle dramatique, de 1384 à 1434, leur politique, entre utopie et réalité, n'a pu toujours éviter Pécueil de la rupture du fragile équilibre des territoires et des déchirements au sein de la famille et des hommes du prince.

[eng] In 2013 the magazine coupDefouet reached its first decade of existence. As a way of celebrating this, the Art Nouveau European Route – the association of cities and other local institutions for the promotion and diffusion of Art Nouveau heritage that created the magazine – organised a magnificent international congress as a framework for scientific exchange and raising public awareness. The first coupDefouet International Congress on Art Nouveau was held in Barcelona, the city from which coupDefouet is published and one of the undisputable world capitals of Art Nouveau. This volume of the Singularitats series comprises the proceedings of that event.

This volume honours Sible de Blaauw on the occasion of his re- tirement from Radboud University. It is above all a tribute to an influential and respected voice in the field of early Christian art and ar- chitecture. Thirty-one authors have sought to provide their own unique answer to the question of how Christian cult buildings have played a role in cultural memory in different periods and in various geographical and cultural contexts. From its very onset, this publication was envi- sioned as a parallel to De Blaauw’s own research interests: Rome and its monuments, early Christianity, Christian religious heritage, liturg y and architecture, continuity of tradition, and memory. The contributions have been arranged according to three sections: Monuments – Places – Decoration & Liturgical Furnishing. Every essay addresses the memorial potential of Christian buildings, of their location, or of the accoutre- ment, whether or not still in situ. Not surprisingly, Rome re-appears frequently in all sections, with Rome’s churches receiving special atten- tion. Together the essays cover a period from Late Antiquity to modern times, from Helena to Gerhard Richter, from late antique poets to a Ravennesque mosaic in the 1930s. Thus, this volume assumes the di- achronic nature that characterizes De Blaauw’s own scholarship. The leitmotifs of Christian cult and material and immaterial constructions of the past tie together the sections as well as the book as a whole. Nev- ertheless, the main binding element between the essays is their authors’ fondness and appreciation of Sible de Blaauw.

Orphanages and similar institutions were established in Norway in the latter part of the 19th century. The new practice of moving children from their homes to an institution was part of a new and comprehensive public welfare system and a consequence of new laws regarding compulsory schooling. The institutions drew inspiration and ideas from other European countries. The institutions – special schools, boarding schools, and those run by the public child-protection authorites – were each established for different reasons and with different justifications. Some were both home and school, while at others, the children lived at the institution but attended ordinary school in the local community. Some children were sent far from home and spent several years in an institution. In this anthology, we take a close look at several of these institutions: Falstad School and Home, Rostad Home for Children, Røstad School, and Havika Sami Boarding School, all located in the former county of Nord-Trøndelag. In addition, we look at Folåsa, a psychiatric institution for youth in Sweden, and we will learn of the experiences of a group of boys during the Second World War. We also gain insight into the circumstances that gave rise to these institutions through for example the pioneering Norwegian institution Toftes Gave. In addition, we explore the debates that took place at the time as well as contemporary cultural understandings of life at these institutions. The book is aimed at students, professionals and researchers in the fields of child welfare, teacher training and special pedagogy. It will also be of interest to those concerned with the history of education, childhood, the development of welfare society and the local history of the regions where the various institutions were located.

This book studies the history of the urban space formed by the Legislative Palace, its surroundings, and the final layout of Agraciada Avenue in the city of Montevideo (currently Avenida del Libertador Brigadier General Juan Antonio Lavalleja), up to its intersection with 18 de Julio Avenue, between the years 1887 and 1945. This ensemble condenses a series of projects and debates about how to “make a city” in Uruguay between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Based on this significant object, Tosoni reconstructs and examines the convergence of representational aspects linked to the republican ideals of the nation-state, the dialogues and coexistence between the Beaux-Arts academic logic and the modern logic of the CIAM, and the development of professional practices and their relational networks. These three lines of inquiry form a horizon of meaning that gives rise to multiple connections with the protagonists, the productions and ideas of the Americas and Europe, and the historiographical corpus.

Prolongeant une réflexion collective engagée lors de précédents colloques, l’ouvrage associe des spécialistes de diverses disciplines autour de l’étude du culte durant la période de renouveau catholique qui fait suite au concile de Trente. Au-delà de la description des cérémonies, il propose de comprendre les logiques du spectacle baroque que devient alors la liturgie et s’attache particulièrement aux mécanismes de la mobilisation des émotions et des affects. Aussi l’analyse embrasse-t-elle à la fois les normes, les pratiques et les représentations, s’attachant aussi bien aux lieux et à leur décoration qu’aux acteurs du cérémonial, aux procédés de solennisation ou aux diverses formes de sollicitation des sens. Une place particulière est accordée à la musique, qui occupe alors une place sans précédent dans les actions liturgiques.L’étude de l’histoire du culte, qui fait encore figure de parent pauvre de l’histoire religieuse, requiert l’élaboration d’une nouvelle méthodologie d’analyse. C’est aussi ce défi que tente de relever ce livre, qui se veut contribution – et invitation – à une approche capable d’inscrire la cérémonialité cultuelle dans le champ et dans les perspectives de l’histoire culturelle.

This book provides a view of literary life under the Nazis, highlighting the ambiguities, rivalries and conflicts that determined the cultural climate of that period and beyond. Focusing on a group of writers – in particular, Hans Grimm, Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer, Wilhelm Schäfer, Emil Strauß, Börries Freiherr von Münchhausen and Rudolf Binding – it examines the continuities in völkisch-nationalist thought in Germany from c. 1890 into the post-war period and the ways in which völkisch-nationalists identified themselves in opposition to four successive German regimes: the Kaiserreich, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich and the Federal Republic.

Before new interventions can be used in disease control programmes, it is essential that they are carefully evaluated in “field trials”, which may be complex and expensive undertakings. Descriptions of the detailed procedures and methods used in trials that have been conducted in the past have generally not been published. As a consequence, those planning such trials have few guidelines available and little access to previously accumulated knowledge. In this book the practical issues of trial design and conduct are discussed fully and in sufficient detail for the text to be used as a “toolbox” by field investigators. The toolbox has now been extensively tested through use of the first two editions and this third edition is a comprehensive revision, incorporating the many developments that have taken place with respect to trials since 1996 and involving more than 30 contributors. Most of the chapters have been extensively revised and 7 new chapters have been added.

The pages of this book contain some of the results of a research project focused on the study of issues related to image and appearance from different perspectives. In addition, works by other professionals from the university and museum fields have been incorporated. The pillars on which the analysis is based are the works of art placed in relation to the place in which they are situated, the documentation and texts of different types, since the opening towards sources that are not exclusively from artistic literature has offered an important field of exploration.The pages of this book contain some of the results of a research project focused on the study of issues related to image and appearance from different perspectives.

This open access book synthesizes important advances in the assessment and management of soil and groundwater systems contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, especially in the form of light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs). LNAPL characterization and remediation is challenging due to the multi-phase, multi-component nature of the problem and the various physical, chemical, and biological processes involved in a dynamic and heterogeneous hydrogeological setting. This book focuses on the current state of practice of LNAPL characterization and remediation and seeks to provide information and a framework that would allow some of these complexities to be better addressed by contaminated land practitioners, researchers, and regulators.

La Vanité serait-elle prise dans les effets de la fragilité et de la ­futilité de la vie humaine qu’elle dénonce — et, forme morte hors de l’iconographie du xviie siècle, période à laquelle elle a connu son apogée, appelée à retourner en poussière ? La délestant de sa majuscule pour mieux l’appréhender, ce volume se propose de pratiquer une extension du domaine de la vanité, pour montrer qu’au contraire elle a constitué, à différentes époques, une figure rhétorique et poétique d’une grande vitalité, à même de renvoyer au lecteur/spectateur la conscience aiguë, et parfois jouissive, de sa propre dérision. Car ce ne sont pas seulement les « Vanités » qui sont en question ici, mais les vanités comme « compositions de la fin », autrement dit comme combinaisons, effets de structure. La perspective est nouvelle, dès lors qu’elle sort de l’acception générique et historique de la Vanité pour s’attacher à ses mises en forme, ses variations. Adoptant une démarche résolument interdisciplinaire, les auteurs convoquent iconographie, musicologie, littérature, stylistique, philosophie, psychanalyse, histoire et théologie pour servir la question de fond, celle d’une poétique de la vanité.
