The second approach rejects the discourse on values emphasizes the post-Enlightenment emergence of the concept of Europe, and the political and ideological implications in its continuous redefinitions (and re elaborations) during the past two or more centuries. This volume offers new approaches that integrate the long temporal dimension of the values-based approach, albeit devoid of its teleological element, with the “constructivist” interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“This is an important collection and starting point for the worthy goal of promoting a better understanding of the past that makes it less able to be manipulated for contemporary political and religious aims…Compiled out of the European past, its aim of a better understanding of traditional values ought to be useful for contemporary cultures and for the work of scholars of all cultures and continents.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  Renaissance Quarterly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tA Harlequin’s Dress: Reflections on Europe’s Public Discourse\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAnthony Molho\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tRethinking the History of Europe: Old and New Approaches\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDiogo Ramada Curto\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: MARGINS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Crypto-identities: Disguised Turks, Christians and Jews\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGiovanni Ricci\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Segregation, Migration and Recuperation of the Orient in Mediterranean Europe during the First Modernity: The Case of Semitic Spain\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAndré Stoll\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Gender and the Body\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGiulia Calvi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Magic and Witchcraft\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eStuart Clark\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: COMMUNITIES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e A Republic of Merchants?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eFrancesca Trivellato\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/b\u003e A European Community of Scholars: Exchange and Friendship among Early Modern Natural Historians\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eFlorike Egmond\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e The Court Galaxy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRita Costa Gomes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Rites of Passage and the Grand Tour: Discovering, Imagining and Inventing European Civilization in the Age of Enlightenment\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRobert Wokler\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Citizenship and the Language of Statecraft\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJanet Coleman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e Images of Law in Europe: In Search of Shared Traditions\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePietro Costa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e Resisting Public Violence: Actions, Law and Emotions\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAngela De Benedictis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART III: IMAGES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/b\u003e The Tree\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eChristiane Klapisch-Zuber\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 13.\u003c\/b\u003e From the Renaissance to the Englightenment ... through Antiquity: The Beginnings of the European Network of Museums\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eEdouard Pommier\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 14.\u003c\/b\u003e Sainthood and Heroism: Images and Imagery in Sixteenth-century Europe\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDenis Crouzet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 15.\u003c\/b\u003e Latin\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eFrançoise Waquet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tAbstracts of Chapters 1–15 in French\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042968338775,"sku":"9781845452087","price":96.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845452087.jpg?v=1750956447","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/finding-europe-discourses-on-margins-communities-images-9781845452087","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
