Sommario/riassunto |
|
À la fin du XVIe siècle et au début du XVIIe, les Anglais et les Néerlandais se lancent à l’assaut de l’empire établi depuis un siècle dans l’océan Indien par les Portugais, qui contrôlaient le lucratif commerce des Indes orientales, notamment celui des épices. On considère souvent que les Français n’ont rien entrepris dans ce domaine avant 1664, lorsque Colbert fonda la célèbre Compagnie française des Indes orientales, qui est la seule retenue par l’histoire. Au contraire, cet ouvrage, qui souhaite s’adresser à la fois à des chercheurs et à un public élargi de non-spécialistes, démontre que les Français ont eux aussi pris part à cette « course aux épices » dans le |

premier quart du XVIIe siècle. La confrontation de différentes sources françaises, anglaises et néerlandaises (récits de voyages dignes de romans d’aventures, documents manuscrits contemporains, archives…) permet de faire revivre ces événements presque oubliés de l’histoire maritime française. Sont ainsi relatées quatre expéditions entreprises entre 1601 et 1622, ainsi que la fondation d’une première compagnie par Henri IV dès 1604. Ces tentatives constituent ainsi véritablement la préhistoire de la Compagnie des Indes orientales. |

In this lively and provocative book, cultural critic Marjorie Garber, who has written on topics as different as Shakespeare, dogs, cross- |

dressing, and real estate, explores the pleasures and pitfalls of the academic life. Academic Instincts discusses three of the perennial issues that have surfaced in recent debates about the humanities: the relation between "amateurs" and "professionals," the relation between one academic discipline and another, and the relation between "jargon" and "plain language." Rather than merely taking sides, the book explores the ways in which such debates are essential to intellectual life. Garber argues that the very things deplored or defended in discussions of the humanities cannot be either eliminated or endorsed because the discussion itself is what gives humanistic thought its vitality. Written in spirited and vivid prose, and full of telling detail drawn both from the history of scholarship and from the daily press, Academic Instincts is a book by a well-known Shakespeare scholar and prize-winning teacher who offers analysis rather than polemic to explain why today's teachers and scholars are at once breaking new ground and treading familiar paths. It opens the door to an important nationwide and worldwide conversation about the reorganization of knowledge and the categories in and through which we teach the humanities. And it does so in a spirit both generous and optimistic about the present and the future of these disciplines. |
