Sommario/riassunto

In (Re)using Ruins , Douglas Underwood presents a new account of the use and reuse of Roman urban public monuments in a crucial period of transition, A.D. 300-600. Commonly seen as a period of uniform decline for public building, especially in the western half of the Mediterranean, (Re)using Ruins shows a vibrant, yet variable, history for these structures. Douglas Underwood establishes a broad catalogue of archaeological evidence (supplemented with epigraphic and literary



testimony) for the construction, maintenance, abandonment and reuses of baths, aqueducts, theatres, amphitheatres and circuses in Italy, southern Gaul, Spain, and North Africa, demonstrating that the driving force behind the changes to public buildings was largely a combined shift in urban ideologies and euergetistic practices in Late Antique cities.

Sommario/riassunto

Ce volume est un état de la recherche internationale sur les socialismes africains. Y sont rassemblés des articles traitant de débats théoriques autour de ce thème et de ses sources intellectuelles mais aussi d'expériences très concrètes de socialisme, tant dans les villes que dans les campagnes : coopératives, comités de quartier, camps de rééducation… La situation de l'Afrique lusophone, parent pauvre des études africaines en France, et dont l’ensemble des pays ont justement fait l’expérience de régimes socialistes, a fait l’objet d’une attention particulière. Les rapports de l’Afrique avec l’URSS, les démocraties populaires, Cuba, la Chine, ou encore Israël sont également abordés. Les communications faites dans les colloques ont été repensées, avec pour résultat un fructueux dialogue avec les auteur.e.s et des articles complémentaires. Les auteurs espèrent ainsi donner à l’étude des socialismes africains une légitimité dans le champ plus général de l’histoire des socialismes, de même que dans celui de celle de la guerre froide.  This book provides an overview of international research on socialisms in Africa. It brings together theoretical debates about the forms of socialism found in Africa, their intellectual roots, as well as concrete experiences, both in cities and in the countryside, from cooperatives, neighborhood committees to reeducation camps and



more. It also covers Africa’s relations with the Soviet Union, the People’s Democracies, Cuba, China, and Israel. The authors set out to give the study of African socialisms a place in the more general field of the history of socialism, as well as in that of the Cold War.
