Onomastics of the “Chanson De Roland” : Or: Why Gaston Paris and Joseph Bédier Were Both Right
2023
This ambitious study of all proper names in the Chanson de Roland is based for the first time on a systematic survey of the whole geographical and historical literature from antiquity to after 1100 for the Geographica, and on working through (almost) the entire documentary tradition of France and its neighbouring regions from 778 to the early 12th century for the personal names. The overall result is clear: the surviving song is more tightly and profoundly structured, even in smaller scenes, than generally assumed, it is also richer in depicting reality, and it has a very long prehistory, which can be traced in outline, albeit with decreasing certainty, (almost) back to the Frankish defeat of 778. Here are some individual results: for the first time, a detailed (and ultimately simple!) explanation not only of the ‘pagan'catalogue of peoples, but also of the overarching structure of Baligant's empire, the organisation of North Africa, the corpus of the Twelve Anti-Pairs as well as the ‘pagan'gods are given, and individual names such as Bramimunde and Jurfaret, toponyms such as Marbrise and Marbrose are explained. From Roland's Spanish conquests (v. 196–200), the course of the elapsed set anz toz pleins is reconstructed. Even the names of the weapons prove to be a small structured group, in that they are very discreetly adapted to their respective ‘pagan'or Christian owner. On the Christian side, the small list of relics in Roland's sword is also carefully devised, not least in what is left out: a relic of the Lord; this is reserved for Charlemagne's Joiuse. The author explains for example, why from the archangel triad only Michael and Gabriel descend to the dying Roland, whereas ‘the'angel Cherubin descends in Rafael's place. Munjoie requires extensive discussion, because here a (hitherto insufficiently recorded) toponym has been secondarily charged by the poet with traditional theological associations. The term Ter(e) major is attested for the first time in reality, namely in the late 11th century in Norman usage. For the core of France, the fourth cornerstone – along with Besançon, Wissant and Mont-Saint -Michel – is Xanten, and its centre is Aachen. The poet's artful equilibration of Charles's ten eschieles and their leaders is traced. The'Capetian barrier'emerges as a basic fact of epic geography. Approximatively, the last quarter of the study is devoted to the prehistory of the song, going backwards in time: still quite clearly visible is an Angevin Song of Roland from around 1050, in which Marsilĭe, Olivier, Roland, Ganelon, Turpin and Naimes already have roles similar to those in the preserved Song. Behind it, between about 970 and shortly after 1000, is the Girart de Vienne from the Middle Rhône, already recognised by Aebischer, with the newly invented Olivier contra Roland. Finally, in faint outlines, an oldest attainable, also Middle Rhône adaptation of the Roland material from shortly after 870 emerges. For the Chanson de Roland, Gaston Paris and Joseph Bédier were thus each right on the main point that was close to their hearts: the surviving song has both the thoroughly sophisticated structure of great art that Bédier recognised in it, and the imposingly long prehistory that Paris conjectured.

History of Construction Cultures Volume 2 : Proceedings of the 7th International Congress on Construction History (7ICCH 2021), July 12-16, 2021, Lisbon, Portugal
2021; Vol. 00002
Volume 2 of History of Construction Cultures contains papers presented at the 7ICCH – Seventh International Congress on Construction History, held at the Lisbon School of Architecture, Portugal, from 12 to 16 July, 2021. The conference has been organized by the Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL), NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies and the University of the Azores. The contributions cover the wide interdisciplinary spectrum of Construction History and consist on the most recent advances in theory and practical case studies analysis, following themes such as: - epistemological issues; - building actors; - building materials; - building machines, tools and equipment; - construction processes; - building services and techniques ; -structural theory and analysis ; - political, social and economic aspects; - knowledge transfer and cultural translation of construction cultures. Furthermore, papers presented at thematic sessions aim at covering important problematics, historical periods and different regions of the globe, opening new directions for Construction History research. We are what we build and how we build; thus, the study of Construction History is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind. Therefore, History of Construction Cultures is a critical and indispensable work to expand our understanding of the ways in which everyday building activities have been perceived and experienced in different cultures, from ancient times to our century and all over the world.

Historia, arte y patrimonio cultural. Estudios, propuestas, experiencias educativas y debates desde la perspectiva interdisciplinar de las humanidades en la era digital
2021; Vol. 00009
Sabemos por Umberto Eco que el sentido de esa obra abierta está en manos de quienes van a leerla. De otra forma, los libros serán solo un espacio en nuestra estantería o en nuestro disco duro, pero no estimularán el debate en la comunidad científica y, mucho menos, en la ciudadanía. Además, aunque se cuenta con algún trabajo en portugués, italiano o inglés, la mayor parte de estas investigaciones están escritas en español y, por ello, deben divulgarse en el marco de la comunidad iberoamericana con especial interés. Son trabajos recientes, redactados durante una de las mayores crisis de la humanidad, pero no dejan de ser un instante en el devenir de un gran esfuerzo individual y colectivo, también institucional en el caso de universidades, grupos o proyectos de investigación. Su contenido es testimonio de todo lo bueno de lo que somos capaces. Es la memoria de nuestras inquietudes intelectuales y, por lo tanto, humanas.

Luces en el camino: filosofía y ciencias sociales en tiempos de desconcierto.
2021
La sociedad contemporánea se enfrenta, parca en ropajes, al vendaval provocado por diversas crisis simultáneas: crisis sanitaria, crisis económica, crisis política, crisis educativa, crisis climática, etc. En esta situación, corresponde al mundo de la academia, al ámbito erudito e intelectual el tratar de hacerse valer y demostrar la importancia que tiene para afrontar el desafío del futuro. En la biografía de cualquier persona suele haber alguien que ejerce una influencia benéfica especial.Esos individuos actúan como luces en el camino que orientan en las, a menudo, procelosas situaciones vitales que nos toca vivir. Precisamente eso es lo que nos proponemos en este volumen que, a falta de un término más adecuado, podemos calificar como monumental. Pretendemos ser una luz en el camino del lector que se aproxime a los diversos estudios que se acogen en estas páginas. Aquí se encuentran los resultados de investigaciones muy variopintas que tratan, en la medida de sus posibilidades, de dar respuestas a interrogantes diversos que atañen al quehacer cotidiano, a la forma de entender la vida y la realidad, en definitiva, a la construcción del mundo.
