‎Summary Isabel Alfonso is one of the finest scholars on the rural and political history of the European Middle Ages. She is widely known for her contributions to the study of the peasantry, social conflict, and political discourses. Her research has transcended the boundaries of medieval studies, incorporating insights from disciplines beyond including legal anthropology, philology, and discourse analysis, among others. Over her academic career Isabel Alfonso has made a continued effort to make the work of international scholars known in Spain and to communicate advancements in Spanish historiography to international audiences; and yet most of her own research has only been published in Spanish. As a means to acknowledge her long-standing commitment to bridge different historiographies and overcome national boundaries, this unusual Festschrift offers a selection of her most relevant publications, many of which appear in English for the very first time. Each paper is preceded by commentaries by leading scholars that discuss the enduring relevance of Isabel Alfonso,s work, its richness and complexity, and its potential to inspire further research along a vast array of lines. Commentaries by Jean Birrell, Fran ois Bougard, Warren Brown, Peter Coss, Wendy Davies, Chris Dyer, Ros Faith, Fran ois Foronda, Paul Freedman, Piotr Gor cki, John Hudson, Andr Evangelista Marques, Jes s Rodr guez-Velasco, Phillipp Schofield, Stephen D.

‎een tentoonstelling met als centraal thema het lot van het artistieke en culturele erfgoed in tijden van conflict. De herdenking van het uitbreken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog en de brand van de universiteitsbibliotheek van Leuven in 1914 vormen hiervoor een uitstekend uitgangspunt. De gebeurtenissen in Leuven zijn de perfecte illustratie van het feit dat cultuurgoederen, al evenzeer als soldaten en onschuldige burgers, in tijden van conflict het slachtoffer van het oorlogsgeweld worden. Zo speelden, nog lang voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog, vernielde steden, beschadigde gebouwen en monumenten, gestolen kunstwerken en boekverbrandingen een dramatische rol in conflictperiodes. Ook vandaag nog blijven misdaden tegen de kunst meer dan ooit een realiteit. Daarom wil deze tentoonstelling de bespiegelingen van hedendaagse kunstenaars confronteren met die van kunstenaars uit het verleden. Ook vandaag nog blijven misdaden tegen de kunst meer dan ooit een realiteit. Het werk wil de impact van gewapende conflicten op het artistieke werelderfgoed volgen, vanaf de Trojaanse Oorlog tot de recente conflicten in het Midden-Oosten. Zo kunnen bespiegelingen van hedendaagse kunstenaars worden geconfronteerd met die van kunstenaars uit het verleden.‎

‎Ravaged. Art and heritage in times of conflict.‎

‎, Mercatorfonds, 2014 Hardback, 305x255mm, 352p, 230 bw and col. illustrations English (ENG) edition . ISBN 9789462300446.‎

‎The year 2014 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and the beginnings of the conflict that would become known as World War I. In addition to the devastating loss of human life, the Great War was also responsible for the destruction of historic buildings and monuments, the theft of precious artworks, and the burning of untold numbers of books. Ravaged uses this anniversary as a poignant gateway to a greater discussion of the effect of war on artistic heritage. Beginning with the Trojan War and weaving a compelling cross-cultural narrative that ends in the 21st-century Middle East, this affecting publication explores how cultural treasures often became silent victims of armed conflict. Illustrations highlight over two hundred artworks and relics, which are often featured alongside complementary written reflections from contemporary artists. This thoughtful book is a graceful homage to centuries of lost artistic treasures.‎

‎Village Community and Conflict in Late Medieval Drenthe‎

‎, Brepols Publishers, 2018 In English, Hardback, 14 illustraties, 384 pagina's. ISBN 9782503575391.‎

‎Focuses on conflict in village communities of late medieval Drenthe in order to depict a typical peasant society in late medieval Europe. Village communities were the heart of the medieval countryside. But how did they operate? This book seeks to find some answers to that question by focusing on late medieval Drenthe, a region situated in a remote corner of the Holy Roman Empire and part of the prince-bishopric of Utrecht. Drenthe was an overwhelmingly localized, rural world. It had no cities, and consisted entirely of small villages. The social and economic importance of traditionally privileged sections of medieval society (clergy and nobility) was limited; free peasant landowners were the dominant social class. Based on a careful reading of normative sources (Land charters) and thousands of short verdicts given by the so-called ?Etstoel? or high court of justice in Drenthe, this book focuses on three types of conflict: conflicts between villages, feud-like violence, and litigations about property. These three types coincide with three levels of involvement: that of village communities as a whole, that of kin groups, and that of households. The resulting, comprehensive analysis provides a rigorous interrogation of generalized notions of the pre-industrial rural world, offering a snapshot of a typical peasant society in late medieval Europe. Peter (P.C.M.) Hoppenbrouwers (1954) is Professor of Medieval History at Leiden University. He is the co-author, with Wim Blockmans of Introduction to Medieval Europe 300-1550 (2014; 2nd ed.). His main fields of interest are peasant communities, household and family, local lordship and military organization, and cultures of violence in the medieval Latin West. ‎
