Dear Readers, we present you with a special volume of the Ignatianum Philosophical Yearbook, largely devoted to the historical significance of the Jesuit Order. We are offering it to you at a special time – the Ignatian Year, announced to be celebrated worldwide a few months ago by Father General Arturo Sosa S.J., to honor the 500th anniversary of the conversion of Ignatius Loyola (May 20, 1521) and the 400th anniversary of his canonization (March 12, 1621). As we all know, anniversaries of important events and related celebrations are an opportunity to reminisce, remind, and make inventories. Such is the case with the present volume, part of the Ignatian Year celebrations, in which we have included a number of scholarly treatises on Jesuit activity.

The present volume edited by Johanna Lhuillier gathers contributions presented during the workshop “Archaeology of Central Asia during the 1st millennium BC” at the 10th ICAANE in Vienna in 2016. Designed to treat both the Iron Age and the Hellenistic period, it aims to embrace the diversity of current archaeological work led on the 1st millennium BC in Central Asia. The contributions are based on previously unpublished data and ongoing fieldwork, treating key aspects of the covered period, like chronology, the development of settlements and architecture, and the distribution and evolution of material culture. The volume casts new light on this challenging period by characterizing its cultural, socio-economical, and political transformations and focusing on broader interactions with neighbouring cultures.

Abstract. The current volume, National Atlas of Hungary – Society, is Part 3 of the series. It presents the special world of Hungarian society and, according to the availability of data, also that of the Carpatho–Pannonian Area. By combining the tools of statistics, geography and cartography, the maps present the spatial structure accompanied by numerous graphs, photos, texts and infographics.The present volume of the National Atlas, Society, contributes to a much deeper understanding of processes and a better understanding of the relationships between phenomena through the presentation of the spatial diversity of demographic and social processes in historical perspective. This is a significant record of the period also showing the challenges that Hungarian society faces at the end of the second decade of the 21st century. This addition to the National Atlas of Hungary – with its extensive body of knowledge presented in this work – is an important document of great benefit not only togeographers but also to historians, economists, politicians, and all other interested parties.

Augustine and the Humanists fills a persistent lacuna by investigating the reception of Augustine’s oeuvre in Italian humanism during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In response to the call for a more extensive and detailed investigation of the reception of Augustine’s works and thought in the Western world, numerous scholars have addressed the topic over the last decades. However, one of Augustine’s major works, De civitate Dei, has received remarkably little attention. In a series of case studies by renowned specialists of Italian humanism, this volume now analyzes the various strategies that were employed in reading and interpreting the City of God at the dawn of the modern age. Augustine and the Humanists focuses on the reception of the text in the work of sixteen early modern writers and thinkers who played a crucial role in the era between Petrarch and Poliziano. The present volume thus makes a significant and innovative contribution both to Augustinian studies and to our knowledge of early modern intellectual history.

Abstract This article addresses the contributions by Michael Whitenton, and Bonnie Howe and Eve Sweetser, in the present volume. I endorse all three contributors’ use of cognitive-linguistic approaches, highlighting their helpfulness for the reconstruction of frames that shape the reading experience of audiences located in different historical and cultural contexts. The two chapters meticulously trace the complexity and dynamics of understanding exemplary biblical characters. I emphasise that the level of attention to linguistic detail displayed by cognitive stylistics is a desideratum for a reader-oriented analysis of a text’s potential reading effects. At the same time, I question some assumptions in cognitive linguistics concerning the cognitive-emotional processes real readers are actually likely to perform. The two chapters serve as a starting point for me to discuss general tendencies in recent cognitive and empirical literary studies, which have perhaps overstated the intensity and impact of some processes, while overlooking others that may be just as important.

Both Narratology and Digital Humanities look back on a remarkable history of research and progress. One after the other, the narratological and the digital research communities evolved into large international and interdisciplinary networks. While cooperation between the two disciplines would be possible and beneficial in many areas, they often still work in parallel rather than together. A workshop at Hamburg University brought together Literary Studies researchers from Narratology and from Digital Humanities to (a) discuss requirements for and possibilities of a digital operationalisation of analytical categories from Narratology and Literary Studies and (b) theoretically reflect upon possible connections between more traditional and digital approaches. The present volume combines the workshop contributions from both disciplines and thus attempts to further the bridge-building and dialogue.

Abstract The introductory article proposes the hypothesis, which informed the decision making and editorial work in the present volume, that appropriations and weaponisations of the crusades in the modern era rely on culturally embedded master narratives of the past that are often thought to encompass public or cultural memories. Crucially, medievalism, communicated through metonyms, metaphors, symbols and motifs frequently acts as a placeholder instead of the master narratives themselves. The article addresses differences between medievalists’ and modernists’ conceptions of crusades, especially highlighting how the very meaning of words – such as crusade – differ in the respective fields. But the matter at hand goes beyond semantics, for the notion that the act of crusading is a live and potent issue is hard to ignore. There exists a complex and multifaceted crusading present. That people can appeal to master narratives of the crusades via mutable medievalism, which embodies zero-sum, Manichaean-type “clash of civilisations” scenarios, helps explain the continued appeal of the crusades to those who seek to weaponise them. It is hoped that the contributions to the special issue, introduced towards the end of the article, further a better understanding of the ways this has happened in the modern era.

En juin 2020 cela faisait déjà presque 6 mois que nos vies se voyaient bouleversées par l’apparition du coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. En raison de la pandémie de Covid-19, la totalité des enseignements universitaires en France se faisait à distance depuis trois mois, y compris l’ensemble de nos cours de langues étrangères à l’Inalco. Dans cette situation de confinement et de (dis)continuité pédagogique, la mise en place de classes virtuelles et l’appropriation de nouveaux outils ont constitué un défi particulièrement délicat tant pour les professeurs que pour les étudiants et les établissements d’enseignement. Le présent volume réunit une trentaine des textes de ces journées. Il s’agit des témoignages d’enseignants-chercheurs français et étrangers, spécialistes de langues diverses et exerçant leur métier dans des contextes variés. Face au choc de la mise en quarantaine et soucieux de maintenir leurs enseignements, ils sont tous passés d’un «tout présentiel (ou d’un ‘présentiel dominant’)» à un «tout distanciel» en un laps de temps très court.

The articles in the present volume are the result of two workshops held at the Norwegian Institute in Rome that are both robustly disciplinary, but simultaneously raise issues beyond the disciplinary bounds of art history (into philosophy, history of ideas and history) and archaeology (into criminology, heritage studies and contemporary sociology and politics). The first was organised by DniR-researcher Mattia Biffis in October 2019, The Art of Truth: Providing Evidence in Early Modern Bologna. The second section is based on a digital workshop organised by DniR-researcher Samuel Hardy in collaboration with the Heritage Experience Initiative project at the University of Oslo in October 2020, Handling of Cultural Goods and Financing of Political Violence.   On cover:ANNIBALE CARRACCI (BOLOGNA 1560 - ROME 1609), An Allegory of Truth and Time c. 1584-1585.

Cher(e)s lecteur(rice)s de REVUT Scientific Journal, Nous voici revenus, en train de lire le présent Volume 3 de RSJ, un numéro consacré à la publication des « Actes du Colloque International de Toamasina du 15 au 18 décembre 2020 ». Ayant vu la participation physique et virtuelle de près de 300 scientifiques de nationalités différentes (sept), la première édition du Colloque de Toamasina a pu mobiliser 26 institutions de recherche et/ou d’enseignement supérieur nationales et internationales. Plusieurs disciplines scientifiques y ont été représentées, à savoir les sciences humaines, techniques, médicales et exactes. La complémentarité entre les disciplines, tout comme l’aspect transversal de la science ont été mis en exergue à travers les différentes présentations effectuées par les communicant(e)s. Des actions ou pistes de recherche ont pu être avancées, démontrant la pertinence d’une vision scientifique multidimensionnelle en termes de recherche et de développement durable. Le présent Volume est le fruit d’un travail sans relâche de l’équipe CRSCP (Coordination de la Revue Scientifique et du Conseil des Professeurs – Université de Toamasina), malgré les conditions de travail difficiles liées entre autres à la Covid-19. L’introduction et la conclusion de ce Volume ont été rédigées par mes deux collaborateurs Dr Djistera Angelo et Dr Feno Pierre Caroline à qui j’adresse mes remerciements pour leur forte implication. La confection technique, le layout, l’édition et la mise en ligne du présent document ont été assurés par les membres de l’équipe technique de RSJ, à savoir Mesdames et Messieurs Rasoazoro A.A., Rasolontiavina N.E., Gauthier N.E. et Maurice Z.K., que je remercie également. Un grand merci à toutes les personnes morales et physiques qui ont apporté leur soutien technique, financier, logistique et/ou organisationnel lors de cet évènement scientifique de décembre 2020. Tous mes remerciements aux partenaires techniques et financiers de REVUT & Colloque 2020, à toute l’équipe de l’Université de Toamasina, aux membres des deux Comités Scientifique et d’Organisation, ainsi qu’à tou(te)s les participant(e)s.
