Chinese Household Registration Data of Wudu County (Gansu Province), 1947 (Volume 1) : Text and Data /
:
This book offers a unique dataset of the 1947 household register of the Wudu County (Gansu Province) in China. It also includes preliminary analyses of occupation, education, marriage, and the distribution of wealth in the villages of Wudu. These analyses, based on the available population register data, are not only of importance as they have never been published before, but also because they reveal various socio-economic features of villagers' lives on the individual level. They thus enable readers of this book to ask innovative questions and address them, contributing to the literature on the historical development of Chinese demography. This is Part 1 of a 3-volume set.

Recovering Environmental and Economic Traditions in the Islamic World /
:
Recovering Environmental and Economic Traditions in the Islamic World is an interdisciplinary volume that interrogates varied approaches to environmental and economic thought in classical Islam and in a few contemporary case studies. The contributions in this volume critique the dominant economic system and its perspective on the environment as a commodity across the boundaries of multiple intellectual traditions and academic fields. The book analyses both historical trajectories and modern schools of thought while simultaneously exploring ethical applications to environmental and economic discourses as a tool of critique. In this context, the authors conceptualize and treat these discourses as polyvalent and enmeshed with various political, ethical, and cosmological perspectives and vistas.

The Learned and Lived Law : Essays in Honor of Charles Donahue /
:
This wide-ranging collection of essays reflects the manifold scholarly interests of legal historian Charles Donahue, whose former students engage here with questions related to foundational Roman law concepts, the impact of the law on women and families in medieval and early modern Europe, the intersection of law and religion, and the echoes of legal ideas on later developments in American law and in world literature and philosophy. From the monks of Metz to the book sellers of colonial Boston, from fourteenth-century English charters to the writings of Faust, these essays invite you to experience law at once learned and lived. Contributors are: Charles Bartlett, Anton Chaevitch, Wim Decock, Rowan Dorin, Sally E. Hadden, Elizabeth Haluska-Rausch, Nikitas Hatzimihail, Samantha Kahn Herrick, Daniel Jacobs, Elizabeth Papp Kamali, Amalia D. Kessler, Saskia Lettmaier, Sara McDougall, Stuart M.

La banque privée et l'économie monétaire égyptienne (IIIe s. a.C. - IVe s. p.C.) /
:
"Ce livre fait l'histoire de la banque privée en Égypte ptolémaïque et romaine. Grâce à la documentation papyrologique et numismatique, l'Égypte offre une occasion unique en histoire économique antique de replacer l'histoire de la banque privée dans le contexte plus général de l'économie monétaire égyptienne. Plusieurs comparaisons sont dressées avec d'autres économies historiques, celles de l'Italie et de l'Occident romains, de l'Empire carolingien, de l'Angleterre moderne et de la France sous l'Ancien Régime. Elles permettent de mieux apprécier les fonctions économiques et l'ampleur du développement chronologique et géographique de la banque privée en Égypte ptolémaïque et romaine. Une économie monétaire historique peut fonctionner sans banque privée mais la présence de celle-ci paraît le signe d'une économie monétaire plus sophistiquée. Dans ces conditions, les hauts et les bas de l'institution en Égypte permettent de mieux saisir les variations de longue durée de l'économie monétaire égyptienne"--
"This book chronicles the history of private banking in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt. Thanks to papyrological and numismatic documentation, Egypt offers a unique opportunity in ancient economic history to place the history of private banking within the broader context of the Egyptian monetary economy. Several comparisons are made with other historical economies, those of Roman Italy and the West, the Carolingian Empire, modern England, and France under the Ancien Régime. They allow for a better appreciation of the economic functions and the extent of the chronological and geographical development of private banking in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt. A historical monetary economy can function without a private bank, but the presence of one appears to be a sign of a more sophisticated monetary economy. Under these conditions, the ups and downs of the institution in Egypt allow for a better understanding of the long-term variations in the Egyptian monetary economy"

Manifestations de la révolte dans le romanesque français du second XIXe siècle /
:
Bâti autour de quatre axes - Bâtir un monde. Utopies ; Positionnements et personnages ; Condition humaine et révoltes ; Être réfractaire - visant à proposer aux lecteurs des approches différentes et des corpus parfois méconnus, cet ouvrage consacré au roman cherche à apporter un éclairage novateur sur la question de la révolte chez des auteurs français du second dix-neuvième siècle. Dans ses manifestations diverses, voire insoupçonnées, la révolte est à la fois un motif récurrent, un moyen d'interroger le rapport au roman et une occasion de mettre en œuvre un style révolté. Dans ce volume, le lecteur pourra ainsi (re)découvrir certaines œuvres. Source utile de savoir pour le public universitaire, ce livre pourra également intéresser tout lecteur désireux de (re)lire des romans sous l'angle, parfois inattendu, de la révolte. Built around four axes - Building a world. Utopias ; Positioning and Characters ; The Human Condition and Revolts ; Being Refractory - aimed at offering readers different approaches and, at times, relatively unknown collections of works, this novel-centred publication seeks to shed new light on the question of revolt among French authors of the second half of the nineteenth century. In its diverse, even unsuspected manifestations, revolt is simultaneously a recurring motif, a means of questioning the relationship to the novel and an opportunity to adopt a rebellious style. This volume offers readers a chance to (re)discover some of these works. A useful source of knowledge for academics, this book will also be of interest to any reader wishing to (re)read novels from the sometimes unexpected angle of revolt.

Abraham, the nations, and the Hagarite s Jewish, Christian, and Islamic perspectives on kinship with Abraham /
:
Jews, Christians and Muslims describe their origins with close reference to the narrative of Abraham, including the complex story of Abraham's relation to Hagar. This volume sketches the history of interpretation of some of the key passages in this narrative, not least the verses which state that in Abraham all the nations of the earth will be blessed. This passage, which features prominently in Christian historiography, is largely disregarded in ancient Judaism, prompting the question how the relation between Abraham and the nations was perceived in Jewish sources. This focus is supplemented with the question how Islamic historiography relates to the Abraham narrative, and in particular to the descent of the Arabs from Abraham through Ishmael and Hagar. In studying the traditional readings of these narratives, the volume offers a detailed yet wide-ranging analysis of important aspects of the accounts of their origins which emerged within the three Abrahamic religions.

Food and drink in Egypt and Sudan : selected studies in archaeology, culture, and history /
:
The study of historic foodways is as multifaceted and varied as food itself. The changes we see in food habits and choices over history reveal evolving social and political climates and help us envision our ancestors' everyday lives and imagined afterlives. Food certainly played a role in funerary rites; it was offered to the dead, of course, but also shared at the grave among the living family members, symbolically bridging between this world and the next. Choosing the food was embedded in a series of traditions and norms; how it relates to what was actually eaten in associated settlements enables an understanding of its meaning. Feasts, whether for the dead or the living, were laden with political and social meaning. Fasting, although requiring abstention from certain foods, also involves the management--from sourcing and storing to cooking and eating--of the permitted foods, a key concern in contexts such as monasteries where fasting occurred. This collective work demonstrates the diversity of possible approaches to food. It presents the current state of research on the foodways of Egypt and Sudan and highlights the importance of further interdisciplinary collaboration for a "big picture" approach. It brings together 16 articles covering archaeology (in the broadest sense), theory, anthropology, language, ethnography, and architecture to illustrate food traditions and history in Egypt and Sudan from as early as the 4th millennium BC to the 20th century.
L'étude des modes alimentaires historiques est aussi multiple et variée que la nourriture elle-même. Les changements que nous observons dans les habitudes et les choix alimentaires au fil du temps révèlent l'évolution des climats sociaux et politiques et nous aident à imaginer la vie quotidienne et l'au-delà de nos ancêtres. La nourriture jouait certainement un rôle dans les rites funéraires ; elle était offerte aux défunts, bien sûr, mais aussi partagée dans ou à proximité de la sépulture entre les membres vivants de la famille, jetant symboliquement un pont entre le monde d'ici-bas et l'au-delà. Le choix des aliments s'inscrivait dans une série de traditions et de normes ; la comparaison de ceux offerts avec ceux ordinairement consommés permet de comprendre la signification qui leur était attribuée. Les fêtes, qu'elles soient destinées aux morts ou aux vivants, étaient chargées d'une signification politique et sociale. Le jeûne, bien que consistant à s'abstenir de certains aliments, implique également la gestion - depuis l'approvisionnement et le stockage jusqu'à la cuisson et la consommation - des aliments autorisés, une préoccupation essentielle dans des contextes tels que les monastères, où le jeûne était pratiqué. Cet ouvrage collectif rend compte de la diversité des approches possibles portant sur l'alimentation. Il présente l'état actuel de la recherche sur les habitudes alimentaires de l'Égypte et du Soudan et souligne l'importance d'une collaboration interdisciplinaire plus poussée pour une approche globale. Il rassemble 16 articles couvrant l'archéologie (au sens large), la théorie, l'anthropologie, la langue, l'ethnographie et l'architecture, qui illustrent les traditions alimentaires et l'histoire de l'Égypte et du Soudan depuis le IVe millénaire av. J.-C. jusqu'au xxe siècle.

La réception de Proust à l'étranger /
:
L'œuvre de Marcel Proust a été traduite dans de nombreuses langues et ces traducteurs offrent toute une panoplie de variantes selon leurs perspectives. La critique internationale s'est également penchée sur la Recherche dès les années 1920 pour se déplier ensuite en une multitude d'approches. D'autre part tout un ensemble d'auteurs littéraires a trouvé dans l'écriture proustienne une source d'inspiration. Et les lecteurs partout dans le monde ont suivi le conseil de Proust de créer leur propre version du texte. De toutes ces expériences en trouvera ici un reflet et des échos provenant de tous les coins de la planète, de la Chine au Brésil, de l'Italie à la Turquie, des Pays-Bas à la Suisse, de la Suède à la Catalogne, de la Hongrie à l'Allemagne, du Québec à la Grèce.
