Organiser l’espace sacré au Moyen Âge. Topographie, architecture et liturgie (Rhône-Alpes - Auvergne)
espace sacré, Moyen-Âge, topographie, architecture, archéologie, histoire de l'art
Numéro 40 des Documents d'Archéologie en Rhône-Alpes et en Auvergne (DARA).
Percevoir ce qu’était l’espace sacré au Moyen Âge est à la fois simple et complexe, car si la société médiévale est profondément christianisée, il n’en demeure pas moins que déterminer l’espace sacré dans sa dimension spatiale n’est guère aisé.
Le lieu sacré est lié à la pratique du culte qui se traduit par des rites et des choix liturgiques. La dimension ecclésiale et collective implique un partage physique et spirituel de cet espace entre d’une part les fidèles, les clercs et les moines et d’autre part les vivants et les morts. Cette partition génère une organisation spatiale perceptible à travers les études architecturales, les aménagements liturgiques et les circulations, mais aussi grâce à la diversité ou la permanence des programmes iconographiques. Le terme d’espace ecclésial ne se rapportant pas uniquement à l’église, il a été jugé nécessaire de s’intéresser également aux lieux qui lui sont associés, comme le cloître et le cimetière.
C’est ainsi qu’à travers un grand nombre d’exemples puisés dans les régions Rhône-Alpes et Auvergne, des archéologues, historiens de l’art et liturgistes, issus des diverses institutions de recherche françaises et réunis en « Action collective de recherche », offrent ici une approche croisée de l’espace sacré depuis l’Antiquité tardive jusqu’au XVe siècle. L’ouvrage s’appuie sur des études régionales dont plusieurs sont inédites.
Sous la dir. d’Anne Baud, maître de conférences en archéologie médiévale à l’université Lumière Lyon 2 (ArAr UMr 5138) et la coordination de Joëlle Tardieu, ingénieure au service régional d’archéologie Rhône-Alpes.

Sanctuaries of the city: Lessons from Tokyo
, culture urbaine, interaction sociale, sociologie urbaine, société urbaine, mégapole, espace sacré, Tokyo, Greve Anni, Durkheim Emile
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher:</b></div> </div> This book proposes that we can learn from Tokyo about the instrinsic importance of in-between realms to an international culture: the sanctuaries. It argues that certain urban societies are more robust than others because they offer socio-spatial capacities that enable the development of skills for coping with modern forms of living. It studies places that may open the way to an international culture, namely market places, venues for performing arts and religious sites, which – with particular reference to the Durkheimian tradition – are considered here in their quality as sanctuaries. From its empirical analysis of such sanctuaries in Tokyo, this book develops a more general theory about mega-cities, urban sociability and identity.</div> </div> <b>Anni Greve </b>is Associate Professor in The Department of Society and Globalisation at Roskilde University.</div> </div>

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
Cities, Texts and Social Networks examines the experiences of urban life from late antiquity through the close of the fifteenth century, in regions ranging from late Imperial Rome to Muslim Syria, Iraq and al-Andalus, England, the territories of medieval Francia, Flanders, the Low Countries, Italy and Germany. Together, the volume's contributors move beyond attempts to define 'the city' in purely legal, economic or religious terms. Instead, they focus on modes of organisation, representation and identity formation that shaped the ways urban spaces were called into being, used and perceived. Their interdisciplinary analyses place narrative and archival sources in communication with topography, the built environment and evidence of sensory stimuli in order to capture sights, sounds, physical proximities and power structures. Paying close attention to the delineation of public and private spaces, and secular and sacred precincts, each chapter explores the workings of power and urban discourse and their effects on the making of meaning.<br />
<br />
The volume as a whole engages theoretical discussions of urban space - its production, consumption, memory and meaning - which too frequently misrepresent the evidence of the Middle Ages. It argues that the construction and use of medieval urban spaces could foster the emergence of medieval 'public spheres' that were fundamental components and by-products of pre-modern urban life. The resulting collection contributes to longstanding debates among historians while tackling fundamental questions regarding medieval society and the ways it is understood today. Many of these questions will resonate with scholars of postcolonial or 'non-Western' cultures whose sources and cities have been similarly marginalized in discussions of urban space and experience. And because these essays reflect a considerable geographical, temporal and methodological scope, they model approaches to the study of urban history that will interest a wide range of readers.</div>
