Did the Maya really predict that the world would end in December of 2012? If not, how and why has 2012 millenarianism gained such popular appeal? In this deeply knowledgeable book, two leading historians of the Maya answer these questions in a succinct, readable, and accessible style. Matthew Restall and Amara Solari introduce, explain, and ultimately demystify the 2012 phenomenon. Firmly grounded in historical fact, while also being revelatory and myth-busting, this fascinating book will be essential reading as the |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
L’importance de la pensée italienne de la race a été longtemps sous-estimée. Cependant, en Italie autant qu’en France ou en Allemagne, nombre d’œuvres littéraires ou de discours scientifiques mobilisent le concept de race dans une perspective aussi bien théorique que politique. Des premières décennies du xixe siècle à la période fasciste, trois moments – philologie romantique, anthropologie positiviste et idéologie fasciste – constituent les jalons d’une archéologie de la pensée italienne de la race dont l’étude révèle un usage spécifique qui engage non seulement le rapport que la Péninsule entretient avec l’autre mais aussi le rapport qu’elle entretient avec elle-même. The importance of the italian idea of race has been underestimated for a long time. Therefore, in Italy as well as in France or in Germany, a certain number of literary works or scientific discourses mobilise the concept of race in a theoretical and political perspective. From the first decades of the 19th century to the fascist period, three points – romantic philology, positivist anthropology and fascist ideology – prepare the ground of the Italian idea of race. The study of these points reveal a specific use engaging not only the relation the Peninsula maintains with the other but also the relation it maintains with itself. |
