Sommario/riassunto

The Migration Age is still envisioned as an onrush of expansionary "Germans" pouring unwanted into the Roman Empire and subjecting it to pressures so great that its western parts collapsed under the weight.



Further developing the themes set forth in his classic Barbarians and Romans, Walter Goffart dismantles this grand narrative, shaking the barbarians of late antiquity out of this "Germanic" setting and reimagining the role of foreigners in the Later Roman Empire.The Empire was not swamped by a migratory Germanic flood for the simple reason that there was no single ancient Germanic civilization to be transplanted onto ex-Roman soil. Since the sixteenth century, the belief that purposeful Germans existed in parallel with the Romans has been a fixed point in European history. Goffart uncovers the origins of this historical untruth and argues that any projection of a modern Germany out of an ancient one is illusory. Rather, the multiplicity of northern peoples once living on the edges of the Empire participated with the Romans in the larger stirrings of late antiquity. Most relevant among these was the long militarization that gripped late Roman society concurrently with its Christianization.If the fragmented foreign peoples with which the Empire dealt gave Rome an advantage in maintaining its ascendancy, the readiness to admit military talents of any social origin to positions of leadership opened the door of imperial service to immigrants from beyond its frontiers. Many barbarians were settled in the provinces without dislodging the Roman residents or destabilizing landownership; some were even incorporated into the ruling families of the Empire. The outcome of this process, Goffart argues, was a society headed by elites of soldiers and Christian clergy-one we have come to call medieval.

Sommario/riassunto

Cet ouvrage offre à la lecture et à l’étude, des aspects variés, philosophiques, historiques et sociaux-culturels du saint-simonisme, en s’efforçant de ne pas séparer les idées des hommes.  Les deux premiers articles s’attachent à la philosophie profonde de la pensée saint-simonienne. L’article de Jean-René Derré, « Lamennais et la pensée saint-simonienne » soulève la question des rapports entre religion et vie économique, entre charité et justice, pour conclure que le saint-simonisme tente de dépasser le spiritualisme et le matérialisme vers un humanisme moderne. Michel Espagne situe sa réflexion au cœur d’une problématique philosophique : « Le saint-simonisme est-il jeune hégélien ? » Lucette Czyba et Christine Planté déplacent l’analyse vers la question capitale des rapports entre le saint-simonisme et la Femme, ou plus précisément, vers le féminisme d’après 1830. Anne-Marie Thiesse prospecte, elle, le romanesque feuilletoniste, elle y décèle les traces ou le levain amortis du saint-simonisme. Enfin Philippe Régnier fournit au lecteur un « État présent des Études saint-simoniennes ».
