‎Religious Practices and Everyday Life in the Long Fifteenth Century (1350-1570). Interpreting Changes and Changes of Interpretation‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 418 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 2 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503593555.‎

‎Summary The essays in this book bring to light and analyse the continuities and shifts in daily religious practices across Europe ? from Portugal to Hungary and from Italy to the British Isles ? in the transition from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. While some of these changes, such as the increasing use of rosaries and the resort to Ars Moriendi, were the consequence of the rise of a more personal and interiorized faith, other changes had different causes. These included the spreading of the Reformation over Europe, the expulsion or compulsory conversion of the Jews in the Iberian Peninsula, and the conquest of large portions of eastern Christianity by the Turks ? all of which forced people, who suddenly found that they had become religious minorities, to adopt new ways of living and new strategies for expressing their religiosity. By recovering and analysing the cultural dynamics and connections between religious power, knowledge, culture, and practices, this collection reconsiders and enriches our understanding of one of the most critical phases of Europe's cultural history. At the same time, it challenges existing narratives of the development of (early) modern identities that still, all too often, dominate the self-understanding of contemporary European society.

‎Religious Transformations in New Communities of Interpretation in Europe (1350?1570). Bridging the Historiographical Divides‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 275 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503601779.‎

‎Summary This volume brings together medievalist and early modernist specialists, whose research fields are traditionally divided by the jubilee year of 1500, in order to concentrate on the role of the laity (and those in holy orders) in the religious transformations characterizing the 'long fifteenth century' from the flourishing of the Devotio Moderna to the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. Recent historiography has described the Christian church of the fifteenth century as a world of 'multiple options', in which the laity was engaged with the clergy in a process of communication and negotiation leading to the emergence of hybrid forms of religious life. The religious manifestations of such 'new communities of interpretation' appear in an array of biblical and religious texts which widely circulated in manuscript before benefiting from the new print media. This collection casts a spectrum of new yet profoundly historical light on themes of seminal relevance to present-day European society by analysing patterns of inclusion and exclusion, and examining shifts in hierarchic and non-hierarchic relations articulated through religious practices, texts, and other phenomena featuring in the lives of groups and individuals. The academic team assembled for this collection is internationally European as well as interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in its methodology.

‎Behaviour of the Firm under Regulatory Constraint. - [THE AVERCH-JOHNSON EFFECT]‎

Light wear to extremities, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 1052-69. [Entire issue: (5), 996-1258 pp. + advertisement].‎

‎First printing of Averch and Johnson's seminal paper in which they introduced in what was to become known as the ""Averch-Johnson effect"". The paper was one of the most cited and influential papers in microeconmocs during the 60ies. ""The Averch-Johnson effect is produced when fair rate of return regulation encourages a firm to invest more than is consistent with the minimization of its costs. This can happen when the allowed rate of return exceeds the cost of capital, since the difference between the two represents pure profit. Detailed descriptions of actual regulatory processes may be useful in suggesting guides for action, since actual outcomes depend as much on political and bureaucratic necessity as they do on economic analysis and 'rational' benefit-cost estimates."" (The New Palgrave).""Averch and Johnson's famous paper from the early 1960s asks the simple question: If we assume that regulation acts to instantaneously adjust prices so as to maintain a constant target return on a firm's capital stock, what incentives does the firm have to choose an efficient combination of inputs? Averch and Johnson show, using fairly straightforward maths, that if the regulator sets the regulatory rate of return above the firm's true cost of capital, the regulated firm has an incentive to choose too much capital relative to labour - that is, there will be an inefficient capital-labour ratio. This observation sparked off a large empirical and theoretical literature exploring what came to be known as the 'Averch-Johnson' or 'A-J' effect.The Averch-Johnson model assumed an extreme form of what is known as 'rate of return' or 'cost of service' regulation in which prices are continuously and rapidly adjusted so as to yield the desired return on capital stock. In reality, rate of return regulation as it was historically practiced in the US always involved an element of 'regulatory lag' - that is, a period of time before prices were adjusted to reflect changes in costs. This regulatory lag gives rise to some desirable incentives, as discussed furtherbelow. Even in 1962 it was recognised that allowing higher ex post rates of return was necessary to induce desirable incentives. Averch and Johnson note: ""We have been told by representatives in both the industry and in regulatory agencies that justification exists for allowing a return in excess of cost to give firms an incentive to develop and adopt cost-saving techniques. If the firm is left only indifferent as among a wide range of activities it has no positive incentive to minimize costs for any given activity.""Averch and Johnson's paper was, for a while at least, very widely cited, often incorrectly. The A-J effect later came to be synonymous with 'gold-plating' and with general inefficiency of the regulated firm. But these ideas cannot be strictly attributed to Averch and Johnson. Averch and Johnson only highlighted a potential tendency towards an inefficient mix of capital and labour - but they made no mention of the tendency to simply spend too much on all inputs - so-called 'x-inefficiency' as discussed further below.""

‎Une mosquée à Munich. Les nazis, la CIA et la montée des Frères musulmans en Occident.‎

‎ JC Lattès, 2011, in-8°, 382 pp, traduit de l'anglais, notes, sources, broché, bon état‎

‎En recrutant les musulmans soviétiques pour combattre Staline, Hitler n'imaginait pas que cette alliance se répercuterait jusqu'aux événements du 11 Septembre. Car, après la guerre, les services secrets américains et ouest-allemands vont à leur tour s'appuyer sur les mêmes réseaux et les mêmes hommes pour lutter contre le communisme durant la guerre froide. A travers cette enquête passionnante, Ian Johnson reconstitue l'accumulation de maladresses stratégiques et politiques qui permit à l'islam radical d'installer sa première tête de pont en Occident. Et comment de la paisible mosquée de Munich, une communauté musulmane influente et impénétrable a pu organiser ses futures actions. Ian Johnson dresse le portrait des principaux acteurs de cette histoire méconnue, notamment celui de Gerhard Von Mende, ancien nazi qui dirigea un bureau de propagande ouest-allemand et celui de Said Ramadan – le père de Tariq –, principal dirigeant en exil des Frères musulmans, lié de près aux services secrets occidentaux. "Une mosquée à Munich", qui analyse avec une lucidité rare la rencontre désastreuse entre l'Occident et l'islam radical, se révèle aussi captivant qu'indispensable pour comprendre les erreurs commises hier et aujourd'hui vis-à-vis des islamistes. — "Lorsque la nouvelle se répandit que les pirates de l’air du 11 Septembre avaient vécu en Europe, le journaliste Ian Johnson se demanda comment des partisans d’un islam radical avaient pu s’implanter en Occident. La plupart des explications avancées jusqu’ici font état du soutien des États-Unis aux combattants islamistes d’Afghanistan, vingt ans plus tôt. Ian Johnson, lui, s’est penché sur le début de la Guerre froide en racontant l’histoire méconnue de musulmans soviétiques passés dans le camp allemand pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En devenant de par la volonté des agents nazis un outil de propagande antisoviétique, ils établirent à leur insu un lien ténu, dont nul n’aurait alors imaginé les conséquences, entre l’islam politique et l’Occident. Pendant que les agents des services de renseignement ouest-allemands et américains luttaient en vue de s’assurer le contrôle de cette communauté musulmane influente mais impénétrable – dont le combat clandestin s’organisait depuis la paisible mosquée de Munich – l’islam radical installa sa première tête de pont en Occident. En s’appuyant sur un nombre impressionnant de sources (dont certaines accessibles depuis peu seulement aux chercheurs), Une Mosquée à Munich s’attache à un érudit nazi ayant pris la tête d’un réseau d’espions dans l’après-guerre, à des dirigeants musulmans du monde entier, dont certains, membres des Frères Musulmans, et à des agents de la CIA naïfs résolus à employer une nouvelle arme contre le communisme : l’islam. Une Mosquée à Munich – une analyse d’une lucidité rare de l’espionnage en temps de Guerre froide, doublée d’un récit révélateur de la rencontre désastreuse entre l’Occident et l’islam radical – s’avère aussi captivant qu’indispensable si l’on souhaite comprendre les erreurs encore commises vis-à-vis des islamistes aujourd’hui." ‎

‎The rich and unclassifiable universe of the painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramist Joan Mir will be exhibited at the BAM! Behind the seemingly childish and innocent nature of Joan Mir 's work lies a deep connection with Catalan tradition and the art of the past. From his academic training to his first wild landscapes or still lifes, passing through the influence of primitivism, Romanesque art or even Japanese calligraphy, "Joan Mir . The essence of things yesterday and today hui" travels through more than half a century of raw stories, sometimes wild, but always unexpected experiences. About a hundred original works are presented (paintings, gouaches, drawings, ceramics, sculptures, etc.), from prestigious international public and private collections, including the Fundaci Pilar i Joan Mir (Palma de Mallorca), the Fundaci Joan Mir (Barcelona), the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, the Picasso-Paris National Museum, the Maeght Foundation and the LaM.

‎New Trends in Feminine Spirituality The Holy Women of Liege and their Impact.,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 1999 Hardback, XIV+350 p., 160 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503507682.‎

‎The essays in this volume examine not only the beguinage religious life in the southern Low Countries, but also the impact of this movement on later medieval Sweden, England and France, the new modes of influence by women in their religious lives, and the revivals of feminine spirituality. Was there a women's movement in the thirteenth century and is such a question meaningful in its medieval context? Far from being resolved, the issue of whether women had a thirteenth-century renaissance has still decisively to unsettle the periodization of Western European history in twelfth and sixteenth-century humanist renaissances. Herbert Grundmann long ago demonstrated the participation of women in the eremitically-inspired reforming movements of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and in the production of vernacular literature. Yet it is upon his work that this volume builds, for the diocese of Liege is the key area in this development. It was from Liege that Jacques de Vitry approached the papacy to secure permission for the women of this bishopric of Liege, France and Germany to live together and to promote holiness in each other by mutual example. The seventeen contributors to this volume examine not only the beguine religious life in the southern Low Countries, but also the impact of this movement on later medieval Sweden, England and France, the new modes of influence exerted by women in their religious lives, and the revivals of feminine spirituality in the late medieval West through to contemporary North America. Research does not yet allow for a whole new synthesis, but this volume directs scholars to detailed work on specific localities and persons, with an awareness of the problems and possibilities of wider European comparisons. The contributors are: Jocelyn Wogan-Browne and Marie-Elisabeth Henneau, Anne Blonstein, Else Marie Wiberg Pedersen, Alexandra Barratt, Penny Galloway, Brenda Bolton, Bridget Morris, Marjorie Curry Woods, Carolyne Larrington, Anneke B.

‎Medieval Women - Texts and Contexts in Late Medieval Britain Essays in Honour of Felicity Riddy,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2000 Hardback, XVI+436 p., 160 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503509792.‎

‎Profiting from the development of newly flexible models of gender, literacy, the political, the social, and the domestic, this volume on medieval women considers the broadest implications for the study of medieval culture without simply re-absorbing medieval women into invisibility. In this themed collection of 24 articles by literary, historical and archaeological scholars, the study of medieval women is confidently and freshly mainstream. Profiting from the development of newly flexible models of gender, literacy, the political, the social, and the domestic, the volume is non-separatist, exploratory both of new source materials and new readings of established sources, and able to consider the broadest implications for the study of medieval culture without simply re-absorbing medieval women into invisibility. Grouped under the headings of matters of reading, of conduct and place, the essays move from legal cases to actual buildings and conceptions of the household to conduct books and chronicles to romances and saints' lives to the medieval unconscious and back again, exemplifying the mature interdisciplinarity of current work on medieval women.
