Gewalt Und Widerstand In Der Politischen Kultur Des Sp Ten Mittelalters

Physische Gewalt war Bestandteil der Ausübung von Macht und Gerichtsgewalt im Mittelalter. Als Androhung präsent, konnte auf sie demonstrativ verzichtet oder ihre Anwendung mit expressiver Deutlichkeit vorgenommen werden. Indem der Umgang mit Gewalt und die Legitimität von Herrschaftsausübung wechselseitig aufeinander bezogen blieben, spiegelte sich die Gewaltpraxis in Formen des Widerstands und zeigt beider Verhältnis als Ausdruck einer spezifischen politischen Kultur.0Nicht um eine herrschaftstheoretische Definition von Gewalt geht es den dreizehn hier versammelten Beiträgen, sondern um eine exemplarische Beschreibung von signifikanten Einzelfällen und den internationalen wie interkulturellen Vergleich anhand von Beispielen aus der Geschichte Europas und des arabisch-islamischen Raumes.

The Encyclopedia of Early Modern History offers 400 years of early modern history in one work. Experts from all over the world have joined in a presentation of the scholarship on the great era between the mid-15th to the mid-19th centuries. The perspective is European. That does not mean, however, that the view on the rest of the world is blocked. On the contrary: the multifaceted interrelatedness of European and other cultures is scrutinized extensively. The Encyclopedia of Early Modern History addresses major historical questions: - which ideas, inventions, and events changed people's lives? - in which ways did living conditions change? - how do political, social, and economic developments interlock? - which major cultural currents have begun to become apparent? - how did historical interpretation of certain phenomena change? The individual articles are connected to one another as in a web of red threads. The reader who follows the threads will keep coming upon new and unexpected contexts and links.

This collection of essays from both established and emerging scholars analyses the dynamic connections between conflict and violence in medieval Italy. Together, the contributors present a new critique of power that sustained both kingship and locally based elite networks throughout the Italian peninsula. A broad temporal range, covering the sixth to the twelfth century, allows this book to cross a number of 'traditional' fault-lines in Italian historiography - 774, 888, 962 and 1025. The essays provide wide-ranging analysis of the role of conflict in the period, the operation of power and the development of communal consciousness and collective action by protagonists and groups. It is thus essential reading for scholars, students and general readers who wish to understand the situation on the ground in the medieval Italian environment.
