Sommario/riassunto

Dans l'imaginaire collectif, la fin du Moyen Âge est souvent réduite à la caricature d'une période noire de violences permanentes, dont la guerre était la plus terrible incarnation, et l'homme de guerre, le plus sanguinaire protagoniste. La recherche récente a pourtant démontré l'existence, à l'orée de l'époque moderne, de processus complexes de régulation des comportements et de profondes transformations des structures militaires. Le présent ouvrage propose une étude des différents moyens d'encadrement de la violence des combattants dans les anciens Pays-Bas sous le règne du duc de Bourgogne Charles le



Hardi, dit le Téméraire (1467-1477). On observera comment, en temps de guerre, des mécanismes juridiques, politiques et sociaux sont susceptibles de transformer certaines pratiques en crimes, eux-mêmes plus ou moins bien réprimés par la justice. Au travers d'une analyse approfondie de l'usage de la rémission princière, on tentera de souligner l'existence d'un véritable « gouvernement par la grâce » au sein des armées, une forme de pratique de pouvoir qui aurait coïncidé avec la professionnalisation de la guerre, la construction de l'État moderne et l'émergence d'un nouveau statut donné aux combattants.

Sommario/riassunto

2007 Alan Merriam Prize presented by the Society for Ethnomusicology. 2007 PEN/Beyond Margins Book Award Finalist. When we think of African American popular music, our first thought is probably not of double-dutch: girls bouncing between two twirling ropes, keeping time to the tick-tat under their toes. But this book argues that the games black girls play -handclapping songs, cheers, and double-dutch jump rope-both reflect and inspire the principles of black popular musicmaking. The Games Black Girls Play illustrates how black musical styles are incorporated into the earliest games African Ame
