Sommario/riassunto

Comment se pose de nos jours la question de l'Autre ? Après le 9 septembre, dans les luttes communalistes, face aux démons islamophobes et anti-sémites, au cœur d'un monde toujours aussi injuste et encore dominé par les puissances impériales, la question de l'Autre n'est pas qu'un exercice académique. Le colloque du GRAAT des 6 et 7 octobre 2006, tenu à l'université François Rabelais, a donc tenté de découvrir de nouvelles problématiques historiques. Il a traqué les déplacements récents de ce thème et, dans les domaines des civilisations et littératures anglophones, a cherché l'amorce de réponses originales aux contradictions de notre jeune XXIe siècle.

Sommario/riassunto

Despite its enormous extent and impact, the Swedish scholarship produced in the context of Olof Rudbeck's monumental 'Atlantica' (4 vols, 1679-1702) has hitherto escaped attention outside Scandinavia. The present volume explores the numerous disciplines that comprised this, one of the last, but grandest appropriations of the classical heritage in early modern times. In the decades around 1700, dozens of scholars all around the Baltic Sea embarked on studies of classical and Norse mythology, material remains and antiquities, of languages, botany and zoology as well as biblical scholarship, in order to reveal the primordial status of ancient Sweden. Fusing together numerous disciplines within Rudbeck's elaborate and all-encompassing epistemological framework, they gave to a nation that had advanced to the rank of a European superpower a narrative of a glorious past that matched its contemporary pretentions. Presenting case studies stretching from the 17th to the 19th century and across a wide number of fields, this volume traces the extent and longue durée of one of the most fascinating and underestimated episodes in European intellectual history.
