En este trabajo analizamos el protagonismo desempeñado por el eje Cádiz-Gibraltar en la resistencia liberal al absolutismo durante los años veinte del siglo xix. La fuerza de este eje se basaba en la ...fluidez de las relaciones establecidas entre dos espacios singulares. De un lado, el enclave británico de Gibraltar, en el que la confluencia de intereses económicos y políticos permitió la colaboración entre conspiradores españoles, europeos y americanos. De otro lado, la ciudad de Cádiz, que se convirtió en una especie de tierra prometida para los decididos a mantener la lucha contra el absolutismo; en este caso fue clave la política seguida por los comandantes de la división francesa establecida tras la campaña de los
Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis
, toda vez que no permitieron que las autoridades españolas pudieran llevar a cabo una persecución indiscriminada de liberales. El resultado fue la configuración de un espacio propicio para la conspiración, en el que no solo fue posible el entendimiento entre los liberales refugiados en ambas ciudades, sino también, como acabarían denunciando las autoridades españolas, la participación en conspiraciones de alcance trasnacional.
The idea of adequately 'representing' violence was an important point of discussion amongst Resistance artists and intellectuals at the time of the French Occupation. In particular, intellectual ...resistant Jean Paulhan had written on the subject in his text introducing Jean Fautrier's retrospective exhibition of November and December 1943 in occupied Paris, 'Fautrier the Enraged'. While the thematic of the exhibition proposed an academic and traditional subject matter, Paulhan demonstrated that Fautrier's typically matierist and anti-naturalistic approach was instrumental in 'suggesting reality'. Fautrier's individual creative process, Paulhan argued, led to a transparent experience to be shared between viewer and artist not only on an aesthetic level, but also from a political point of view. At the time of 'Fautrier the Enraged"s writing, Paulhan had indeed been concerned with issues of political engagement, as is evident from his essay 'The Flowers of Tarbes or Terror in Literature' (1941), which reflects upon the human condition and is concerned with reconciling poetry, politics and ethics. The author believes that such questions were being addressed in Paulhan's text on Fautrier and by Fautrier's art and that an aesthetic reading of Paulhan's text is inseparable from a political interpretation of Fautrier's art within the context of the Occupation. Indeed, the aesthetic criteria used in Paulhan's text as framework to his argument were then loaded with political meaning. For instance, Paulhan considered virtuosity as an essential artistic characteristic to be opposed to the art of imitation based on the technical ability to observe and simulate 'nature' as imposed by the occupants. With excerpts from Paulhan's essay and exchange of letters with Fautrier as well as visual analysis of some of the artworks presented in the exhibition, this paper deals with the wider issues of 'representation' in the historical and cultural context of the Second World War in France.
French territorial ambitions and consequent military activity during the reign of Louis XIV ensured that a number of territories bordering on France were subject to military occupation for strategic ...reasons from the 1660s onwards. Drawing on extensive archival research, this study presents the occupation of two of these territories, Lorraine and Savoy, from a comparative perspective. It investigates the aims and intentions of the French monarchy in occupying these regions, the problems of administering them, and French relations with key local elite groups. Absolute monarchy on the frontiers makes a significant contribution to understanding this crucial era in the development of civil-military relations. It also places the occupations of Lorraine and Savoy within the framework of recent scholarship on early modern border societies and frontiers, and on the practice of 'absolutism' at the frontiers of the French kingdom. The book will appeal particularly to scholars and students of early modern France and Europe.

Julia Clancy-Smith's unprecedented study brings us a remarkable view of North African history from the perspective of the North Africans themselves. Focusing on the religious beliefs and political ...actions of Muslim elites and their followers in Algeria and Tunisia, she provides a richly detailed analysis of resistance and accommodation to colonial rule. Clancy-Smith demonstrates the continuities between the eras of Turkish and French rule as well as the importance of regional ties among elite families in defining Saharan political cultures. She rejects the position that Algerians and Tunisians were invariably victims of western colonial aggression, arguing instead that Muslim notables understood the outside world and were quite capable of manipulating the massive changes occurring around them. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

The geographical location of Tunisia has a tremendous significance for its history, as it exposes it to the major powers of the world and not only this; the country gets influenced to a wide variety ...of cultures. All the conquerors of the country fully sought to superimpose their hegemony – political, social, and cultural upon its adherents. The phase started with the era of Phoenicians, followed by Romans, Vandals, then Muslims, and finally colonial and neo-colonial era. Each and every one from the above mentioned powers tried their level best to have the impact on the country in the best possible way. In this struggle, the emerging one sought to exterminate the values of the former and so on and so forth. The country witnessed throughout its entire history the coming and going of various powers and after the advent of Islam in the country, one finds total transformation of the values. During the Muslim rule in the Tunisia, many dynasties governed it for example Aghlabid, Fatimid, Zirid, alMuwa╒ ╒ id, ╓ usaynid etc. Thereafter in the second half of the 19thcentury, a new phase began in the region commonly known as colonial phase. In this direction the paper attempts to present a concise history of Tunisia under two main sections, viz. Tunisia, Islam, and later Developments; and Tunisia’s experience as a colonial state and their resistance against it, till independence. Lastly the paper is followed by the concluding remarks.
Anonimno besedilo, ki ga je leta 1797 izdal ljubljanski založnik Viljem Henrik Korn, v epistolarni obliki (v nemškem narečju) pripoveduje o dogodkih v času prve francoske okupacije Kranjske in ...posebej o tem, kar se je dogajalo v njeni prestolnici. Prispevek želi poudariti zgodovinsko pričevalno vrednost teh pisem ter podati njihovo vsebinsko in slogovno analizo, predvsem pa poudariti perspektivo, ki jo je zavzel njihov avtor. Analiza kaže, da se živahen diskurz, ki ga razvija anonimni Ljubljančan, giblje med empatijo do sodržavljanov v hudi stiski in ironičnim odnosom do okupatorjev; izogiba pa se slavljenju prvih in obsojanju drugih z besedami, ki bi lahko imele eksplicitno politično vrednost.
