Sommario/riassunto

Comment la Provence devient-elle française, à l’instigation du redoutable Louis XI ? Quelles sont les convoitises et ambitions royales face aux diverses principautés du Midi provençal, relevant alors de l’empire germanique ? Quels moyens se donne le roi comment use-t-il du Dauphiné frontalier ? Ces questions jusqu’alors peu fréquentées par les historiens trouvent ici de larges éclairages, fondés sur des sources parfois inédites, couvrant une période de quatre décennies (1440-1483) et une zone géographique comprenant tous les États du Midi provençal. Autant de petits territoires porteurs d’enjeux géopolitiques qui mobilisent jusqu’aux grandes puissances européennes. Une attention particulière est portée aux rapports houleux et aux intrigues nouées entre Louis XI et le roi René, avant-dernier comte de Provence, que l’on découvre bien peu conforme à sa légende dorée, mais aussi aux intermédiaires entre deux États sur le point de s’« unir » et aux



vecteurs humains de l’influence française dans le Midi. Voici donc le récit d’une étape majeure de l’histoire d’une principauté méridionale qui aurait pu ne jamais devenir française.

Sommario/riassunto

Modernity is surrounded by an almost magic aura that casts a spell over people all over the world. To connect with modernity, various ways and means are used, among them magic practices and religious ideas. Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia: Magic and Modernity deals with the magic in and of modernity and asks about its current significance for the dynamics of religion in Southeast Asia. Drawing on recent ethnographic research in this area, the contributors to this wide-ranging volume demonstrate how religious concepts contribute to meeting the challenges of modernity. Against this background, religion and modernity are no longer perceived as in contradiction; rather, it is argued that a revision of the western notion of religion is required to understand the complexity of 'multiple modernities' in a globalised world. Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia: Magic and Modernity is part of the series Global Asia, published by Amsterdam University Press (AUP) in close collaboration with the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS)
