Starting from the creation and development of the Archaeological museum of Rhodes (1914), the article analyses the birth of a colonial heritage consciousness in the Dodecanese. Italian colonial practices reinvented the history of this area focusing on the celebration of the Italian middle ages and an ideological usage of antiquarian objects. The article shows how this process affected the colonization itself, producing tensions and conflicts between colonizers and colonized. It also shows how mediations and negotiations among different subjects (individuals and institutions) contributed to define the new forms of dominion.

Kazuo Ishiguro has suggested that his work of medieval fantasy, The Buried Giant (2015), draws on a “quasi-historical” King Arthur, in contrast to the Arthur of legend. This article reads Ishiguro’s novel against the medieval work that codified the notion of an historical King Arthur, Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain (c. 1139). Geoffrey’s History offered a largely fictive account of the British past that became the most successful historiographical phenomenon of the English Middle Ages. The Buried Giant offers an interrogation of memory that calls such “useful” constructions of history into question. The novel deploys material deriving from Geoffrey’s work while laying bear its methodology; the two texts speak to each other in ways sometimes complementary, sometimes deconstructive. That Ishiguro’s critique can be applied to Geoffrey’s History points to recurrent strategies of history-making, past and present, whereby violence serves as a mechanism for the creation of historical form.

The problem of Greek influence on the creation and the content of the Twelve Tables appeared several times in Roman lawyers’ records. Amongst few jurists, Pomponius wrote about the influence of Greek cities law on the Twelve Tables in the famous fragment on the history of Roman law from his Enchiridion (D. 1,2,2,3-4). Accursius gave an ample gloss to the fragment. He cites an anecdote on the creation of the Twelve Tables: „Greeks had delegated a wise man to visit Rome in order to estimate, after a discussion with its inhabitants, whether they are mature enough to be presented with the law that was prepared. Romans reached the decision that a fool should confront the Greek: there would be no damage to them if he lost, they thought. Obviously, both had to speak by signs. „The Greek started the duel raising one finger what meant that he believed in one God. The Roman took it as an attack on his eye and showed two fingers, which made three with his thumb, in order to be dangerous for both eyes of his adversary. However, the visitor understood the gesture as an acceptance of faith in one God with addition that He is triune. Referring to that, the Greek showed an open palm - it signified that everything is known to the Almighty. Yet, the fool thought that it is to strike his hand and raised the fist to demonstrate that he was going to defend himself. The wise man from Greece understood it as a statement that God has human fortune in His hand and reigns over all affairs of this world. „After this conversation, the Greek concluded that Roman society is developed in the degree they can be gifted with the prepared statue” . The story is one of the first notes on Greek influence on the Twelve Tables. It shows the total lack o f historic perpsective that was shared by glossators in the Middle Ages. The article contains also some references to the historiography of the Greek influence on the Twelve Tables.

RESUMO        Do nascimento da Associação Internacional de Teatro na Universidade, ou Quando uma necessidade do TU cria o órgão AITUDesde a criacão das primeiras universidades na Idade Média, a atividade teatral universitária esteve diretamente ligada às matérias ensinadas como um auxiliar do ensino,  e essencialmente praticada intra muros. Após a 2a. guerra mundial (1945), o teatro universitário iria acentuar o fenômeno de sua abertura e de sua internacionalização. Rompendo os muros da universidade, o teatro conquistaria cada vez mais visibilidade, e inúmeros grupos universitários se veriam tentados pela profissionalização. A própria universidade vai, a partir daí, considerar o teatro como objeto de estudo.  E os anos 70 serão, assim, marcados em quase todas as universidades europeias, pela criação de Departamentos de Estudos Teatrais. A década de 1980 viu florescerem novos festivais internacionais que revelam claramente a abundância de teatros universitários e a grande diversidade de suas práticas. Por ocasião dos Encontros de Liège (RITU), vai ressurgir no início dos anos 90, a questão da definicão do teatro universitário, que impulsiona os liegenises a organizar um Congresso Mundial em outubro de 1994, quando foi criada a Associação Internacional do Teatro na Universidade. A AITU organzia seu 11o. Congresso em 2016 em Manizales (Colombia). Palavras chave :  AITU-IUTA, Teatro Universitário, História do Teatro Universitário   ABSTRACT On the birth of the International University Theatre Association, or When a need of UT creates the organ IUTASince the creation of the first universities in the Middle Ages, the university theater activity was considered as a teaching aid to the subjects taught, and was primarily practiced intra muros. After the 2nd World War (1945), University Theatre would accentuate the phenomenon of openness and internationalization. Leaving the walls of the university, theater acquired more and more visibility, and numerous academic troops were tempted by professionalization. The university itself will now consider theater as a case study. And so the 70’s will be marked by the creation of Theater Studies Departments in universities all over Europe. The 1980’s saw a flowering of new international festivals which clearly reveal the abundance of university theaters and the great diversity of practices. On the occasion of the Liège Meetings (RITU), the question of the definition of university theater resurfaced in the early 90s, which pushed the organizers to set up a World Congress in October 1994. This led to the creation of the International University Theatre Association.  The IUTA holds its 11th Congress in 2016 in Manizales (Colombia).  Keywords:   AITU-IUTA, University Theatre, History of University Theatre

History Of

During the last twenty or twenty-five years medieval historians have been much interested in the composition of the English episcopate. A number of studies of it have been published on periods ranging from the eleventh to the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. A further paper might well seem superfluous. My reason for offering one is that most previous writers have concentrated on analysing the professional circles from which the bishops were drawn, and suggesting the influences which their early careers as royal clerks, university masters and students, secular or regular clergy, may have had on their later work as bishops. They have shown comparatively little interest in their social background and provenance, except for those bishops who belonged to magnate families. Some years ago, when working on the political activities of Edward II's bishops, it seemed to me that social origins, family connexions and provenance might in a number of cases have had at least as much influence on a bishop's attitude to politics as his early career. I there fore collected information about the origins and provenance of these bishops. I now think that a rather more careful and complete study of this subject might throw further light not only on the political history of the reign, but on other problems connected with the character and work of the English episcopate. There is a general impression that in England in the later middle ages the bishops' ties with their dioceses were becoming less close, and that they were normally spending less time in diocesan work than their predecessors in the thirteenth century.

In the second half of the first millennium CE, the Christian Middle East fractured irreparably into competing churches and Arabs conquered the region, setting in motion a process that would lead to its eventual conversion to Islam. This book argues that key to understanding these dramatic religious transformations are ordinary religious believers, often called “the simple” in late antique and medieval sources. Largely agrarian and illiterate, these Christians outnumbered Muslims well into the era of the Crusades, and yet they have typically been invisible in our understanding of the Middle East's history. What did it mean for Christian communities to break apart over theological disagreements that most people could not understand? How does our view of the rise of Islam change if we take seriously the fact that Muslims remained a demographic minority for much of the Middle Ages? In addressing these and other questions, the book provides a sweeping reinterpretation of the religious history of the medieval Middle East. The book draws on a wealth of Greek, Syriac, and Arabic sources to recast these conquered lands as largely Christian ones whose growing Muslim populations are properly understood as converting away from and in competition with the non-Muslim communities around them.

This article investigates the trajectory of the Grêmio Dramático, Recreativo e Literário Elite da Liberdade (the Liberdade Elite Guild of Drama, Recreation, and Literature), a black club active in São Paulo, Brazil, from 1919 to 1927. The aim is to reconstruct aspects of the club’s history in light of its educational discourse on civility, which was used as a strategy to promote modern virtues in the black milieu. By appropriating the precepts of civility, Elite da Liberdade helped construct a positive black identity, enabled the creation of bonds of solidarity among its members, and made itself a place of resistance and struggle for social inclusion, recognition, and citizens’ rights.
