‎De Acta van het interuniversitair historisch colloquium dat op 8-9 juni 2006 in de Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van Belgie plaats had, richten de focus op een veelomvattend onderwerp; de interactie tussen het sociaal-politieke democratiserings - en integratieproces en de Belgische natiestaat in de periode 1890 - 1921. In welke mate werken democratisering en nationalisme op elkaar in? Slagen de leidinggevende kringen er al dan niet in de integratie in het kader van de natiestaat te laten verlopen? In welke mate versterken beide tendensen elkaar? Welke conflicten ontstaan er met de regionalistische en de internationale stromingen? Door ook de oorlogsperiode en de totstandkoming van de massademocratie te incorporeren, kan het proces in deze Acta scherp getraceerd worden. Vooral tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog wordt immers meer dan ooit een beroep gedaan op nationalisme. Deze Acta zijn thematisch opgebouwd. Dankzij de medewerking van een veertigtal Belgische en buitenlandse specialisten komen achtereenvolgens de politieke bewegingen en instellingen, de economische mileus en de culturele werelden aan bod en wordt het onderwerp tevens in een comparatief perspectief met de buurlanden geplaatst.

‎REMEMBERING DEFEAT Civil War and Civic Memory in Ancient Athens‎

‎Very minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 208 pages; In 404 BCE the Peloponnesian War finally came to an end, when the Athenians, starved into submission, were forced to accept Sparta's terms of surrender. Shortly afterwards a group of thirty conspirators, with Spartan backing ("the Thirty") , overthrew the democracy and established a narrow oligarchy. Although the oligarchs were in power for only thirteen months, they killed more than 5 percent of the citizenry and terrorized the rest by confiscating the property of some and banishing many others. Despite this brutality, members of the democratic resistance movement that regained control of Athens came to terms with the oligarchs and agreed to an amnesty that protected collaborators from prosecution for all but the most severe crimes. The war and subsequent reconciliation of Athenian society has been a rich field for historians of ancient Greece. From a rhetorical and ideological standpoint, this period is unique because of the extraordinary lengths to which the Athenians went to maintain peace. In Remembering Defeat, Andrew Wolpert claims that the peace was "negotiated and constructed in civic discourse" and not imposed upon the populace. Rather than explaining why the reconciliation was successful, as a way of shedding light on changes in Athenian ideology Wolpert uses public speeches of the early fourth century to consider how the Athenians confronted the troubling memories of defeat and civil war, and how they explained to themselves an agreement that allowed the conspirators and their collaborators to go unpunished. Encompassing rhetorical analysis, trauma studies, and recent scholarship on identity, memory, and law, Wolpert's study sheds new light on a pivotal period in Athens' history.‎

‎Peasant, Citizen and Slave: The Foundations of Athenian Democracy‎

‎The controversial thesis at the center of this study is that, despite the importance of slavery in Athenian society, the most distinctive characteristic of Athenian democracy was the unprecedented prominence it gave to free labor. Wood argues that the emergence of the peasant as citizen, juridically and politically independent, accounts for much that is remarkable in Athenian political institutions and om a survey of historical writings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the focus of which distorted later debates, Wood goes on to take issue with recent arguments, such as those of G.E.M. de Ste Croix, about the importance of slavery in agricultural production. The social, political and cultural influence of the peasant-citizen is explored in a way which questions some of the most cherished conventions of Marxist and non-Marxist historiography.210.index Shabby reading copy, but text complete.
