No, it is not. And yet, the experimental project Migrating Art Historians sought to delve into this impossibility. Journeying by foot over more than 1500km, twelve modern pilgrims - students and scholars from Masaryk University - reached some of the most impressive artistic monuments of medieval France. One year later, this book presents their intellectual, human, and art historical theoretical know-how, transformed by the experience of their bodies. In this context, exhausted and activated bodies became instruments asking new questions to medieval artworks and sources. Structured as a walk along pilgrimage routes, this book presents firstly the landscape, followed by liminal zones, before leading the reader inside medieval churches and ultimately towards the sacred. Original scientific art historical research combines with personal engagement. What emerges is the subject confronted with the experience of medieval art.…

It thus became the favored model for the Russian autocracy. In the nineteenth-century, Russian scholars working under Tsarist regimes were, either explicitly or tacitly, condoning and even supporting the ruling autocracy. After the Revolution of 1917, however, many of these effectively complicit intellectuals left Russia for Western democracies. This book shows how this experience affected the lives of intellectuals who fled and transformed their scholarship. Archival materials and writings from the time reveal how scholarship can move from aspiration to reality, as it did for the Russian emigres until the crash of 1929 and the rise of Nazism in Germany. But how is this relevant today? Because it shows how scholarship and science must be understood as part of history, and because it illustrates the power of hope. As studied and presented by emigres from Tsarist totalitarianism, "Byzantium" came to be a multinational screen onto which scholars projected not only frustrations but also dreams.…

En France ceci concerne particulièrement les nouveaux membres d'Europe centrale, fort mal connus. Revenons sur l'Histoire : trois grands royaumes, celui de Bohême, celui de Hongrie et celui de Pologne, qui regroupaient de nombreuses ethnies et confessions, ont disparu sous la poussée des empires. Au XIXe siècle, les mouvements nationaux ont bâti des identités se fondant sur la culture, créant par là un autre type de lien entre individu et collectivité nationale que celui de l'État-nation à la française. Une « institution » inédite est alors apparue, celle de « poètes nationaux ». Les noms de Mickiewicz, Chevtchenko, tur, Mácha, Petöfi ont pris une place centrale comme référence de l'identité. Le sentiment de revendication d'un canon de la culture est devenu décisif dans la définition nationale de chacun de ces peuples. Ce canon s'est établi entre autres par une nouvelle littérature nationale et par la réécriture de l'histoire. Sans cesse réinterprétés et débattus, les canons nationaux se trouvent au cur de l'évolution des mentalités, même au-delà de la chute du communisme. Avant que les transformations postmodernes, liées à la mondialisation, ne redistribuent le jeu de références, il est urgent de décrypter les codes et de comprendre le visage de cette « Europe cadette ». Ce volume, fruit de plusieurs années de travail d'une équipe internationale, constitue une véritable somme sans prétendre à l'exhaustivité. C'est une base de données pour toutes les études centre-européennes, et européennes. " ***************************.…
