Abstract
This book is the result of an Exchange program between the universities of Bordeaux Montaigne and Sao Paulo, which focuses on the western material culture of ancient and medieval societies. Each one of the nine chapters emphasizes the methodological and interdisciplinary aspects of the path of material cultures, also reflecting on the fundamental actions of societies: “To produce”, “To feed”, “To trade”, “To write”, “To live in”, “To dress up”, “To fight”, “To pray”, “To pass away”.
It’s not a question of presenting a chronological history, but of sampling a theme through its material heritage, also insisting on cross-referencing sources and methods. Immensely illustrated, this book is aimed at a university audience, but also at amateurs who are familiar with the subject.
Resumo
Este livro é o resultado de um programa de intercâmbio entre as universidades de Bordeaux Montaigne e São Paulo, que se concentra na cultura material ocidental das sociedades antigas e medievais. Cada um dos nove capítulos insiste sobre os aspectos metodológicos e interdisciplinares do caminho das culturas materiais, refletindo também sobre ações fundamentais das sociedades: “Produzir”, “Se alimentar”, “Comercializar”, “Escrever”, “Morar”, “Se vestir”, “Lutar”, “Orar” e “Morrer”. Não se trata de apresentar uma história cronológica, mas de fazer uma amostragem de um tema por meio de seu patrimônio material, insistindo também nos cruzamentos entre fontes e métodos. Imensamente ilustrado, este livro é destinado a um público universitário, mas também aos amadores que conhecem o assunto.
Résumé
Cet ouvrage est le résultat d’un programme d’échange entre les universités de Bordeaux-Montaigne et de São Paulo autour de la culture matérielle occidentale des sociétés antique et médiévale (programme COFECUB). Chacun des neuf chapitres insiste sur les aspects méthodologiques et interdisciplinaires de l’approche des cultures matérielles tout en renvoyant à des actions fondamentales de ces sociétés : “produire”, “alimenter”, “échanger”, “écrire”, “habiter”, “se vêtir”, “combattre”, “prier” et “mourir”. Il ne s’agit pas de présenter une histoire chronologique, mais thématique à travers un choix de thèmes permettant d’avoir une perception des sociétés à travers leur patrimoine matériel en insistant sur le croisement des sources et des méthodes. Abondamment illustré, il est destiné à un public universitaire comme aux amateurs éclairés.
Cette publication a été soutenue financièrement par l’Université Bordeaux Montaigne, l’Institut Ausonius, l’université de São Paolo, le LEME, la COFECUB, la FSAB et par le Grand Programme de Recherche Human Past et le Département Sciences Archéologiques de l’Université de Bordeaux.
