This book gives an eye-opening account of the ways various political and intellectual projects--from nationalism to the discipline of anthropology--have appropriated the Middle Ages for their own ends. Deploying an interdisciplinary toolkit, author K. Patrick Fazioli grounds his analysis in contemporary struggles over power and identity in the Eastern Alps, while also considering the broader implications for scholarly research and public memory"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aMaking sense of history. 606 $aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography 606 $aHistoriography$zAlps, Eastern, Region 606 $aAnthropology$zAlps, Eastern, Region 607 $aAlps, Eastern, Region$xIntellectual life 607 $aAlps, Eastern, Region$xPolitics and government 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aeastern alps. 610 $afall of the western roman empire. 610 $ahistory of europe. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahumanism. 610 $aidentity. 610 $ainterdisciplinary. 610 $amedieval past. 610 $amedieval period. 610 $amiddle ages. 610 $amirror of modernity. 610 $anationalism. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apower. 610 $apublic memory. 610 $arenaissance humanists. 610 $arenaissance. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $awestern culture. 610 $awestern historical imagination. 610 $awestern society. 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography. 615 0$aHistoriography 615 0$aAnthropology 676 $a940.1072 686 $aNB 3950$2rvk 700 $aFazioli$b K.
