Barrier, Virginie. "De l'Empire britannique au Commonwealth des Nations : le sens de la question de Rhodésie." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040039.
Full textThe Rhodesian Crisis was characterised for more than seventy years by ambiguous relations between the mother country and one of her colonies. Put into historical perspective it shows that the issue was marked by the nature and evolution of the British imperial idea. Rhodesia was a 'non-typical' colony. Since London considered Rhodesia as a Dominion, the Rhodesian Government was able to institute a political system based on racial segregation. At the same time, the interests of natives in the administration of the Colonies had become the core of the imperial idea. The institutionalisation of the Commonwealth of Nations was affected by Rhodesia's inability to carry out a post-colonial transition, as it was torn between white nationalism and imperial decolonisation

Full textEstablished at the end of the eighteenth century by the East India Company, the Calcutta botanic garden became a centre for the acclimatization and classification of plants. The garden was funded by the imperial government and the last three decades of the nineteenth century, when the Raj reached its apex, represented its golden age. Situated in Calcutta, which remained the capital of British India until 1911, the garden contributed both economically and symbolically to the imperial system. This thesis chooses to consider these two aspects together, contrary to garden histories that have generally separated them. While the garden directly served British capitalists by contributing to the agricultural exploitation of colonized lands, it also embodied a historical discourse according to which colonization was a civilizing entreprise. Its semiotically dense space displayed the colonial control over nature. The plants, specimens and publications that it produced played, by word and deed, into the hands of a power that represented itself as global, productive and scientific. Histories of the garden produced within the colonial sphere have therefore insisted on the part it played in the dissemination of new species in India. By doing so, these histories have created a paradigm of botanical introduction that was often taken for granted in the subsequent historical production about the garden. This thesis chooses precisely to study the historical ideology that the garden embodied and sustained, a careful study of which shows that it was full of contradictions, failures and absurdities. Both the garden and the empire that it served were deeply dysfunctional. Based on a great variety of sources, this thesis presents a spatial, material and social history of the garden which sheds new light on the nature of imperialism in India at the end of the nineteenth century

Full textThere were many writings about absence without leave during revolutionary and imperial times, but a few only concerned the dramatic means employed by the government to contain it : garnisaires, colonnes mobiles, arrests of soldiers' parents. The first ones were soldiers placed at the refractaire's home with a view to forcing him to join the army. Their existence had not been legal until December 1812. But as their action was considered inefficient, they were soon helped by specialized troops dedicated to the same task. From 1810 onwards, troops are very active. As far as parents' arrests are concerned, they merely reveal the government's lack of control of this plague. Military authorities were as well not in a position to maintain a strict discipline inside the army. Absence without leave, especially desertion, can be seen as a result of this situation. The main impact concerns the rise of cases brought to trial. The fact that little literature deals with this movement enabled us to have a comprehensive view of procedures followed and sentences. This study focuses on the tenth military division, made up of the regions of Haute-Garonne, Ariège, Tarn-et-Garonne, Gers, Pyrenées Orientales, Aude and Hautes-Pyrénées

Full textBritish towns in Iran Where people speak English, Bakhtiyâri, Persian, Arabic, Hindi, Burmese and Lori ; where one finds modernist architecture, proper drains, cricket fields, Laurence Olivier films, haggis and chutney. . . Surely cannot exist. In fact, they do not exist as such any longer, but they did. At the beginning of the XXth century, Iran was a sovereign, rural and agricultural country. After years of wild-catting, a handful of persistent British geologists discovered vast oil fields in the semi-autonomous province of Khuzistan. The single-industry enclave which was developed there, remained under the control of the Anglo Iranian Oil Company for half a century. Combining industrial logic and colonial culture, the company built a comprehensive urban infrastructure for its British, Indian and eventually Iranian employees. Created ex nihilo, its establishments were the first modern industrial Iranian towns, the largest British single investment abroad at the time, and the locus of a history as concentrated as it was conflicted. Following the rationalisation of the Iranian oil industry in 1951, 60% of the urban population of Khuzistan lived in these towns which had not existed fifty years earlier. This dissertation investigates the way they were planned, built, administered and inhabited

Full textThe evolution of turkish history at the end of the 19th and during the first half of the 2oth century presents for a historian a particularly fascinating subject. During this period, social transformations attain a spectacular extent. The purpose of the 40 studies assembled here is to throw a light on these transformations. This was done mostly by exploitation of ignored or little known archival material. Modelling on technique and objectives of three kindred historical branches political history, social history and history of ideas - these studies deal with various fields: mostly with the origins of the worker's movement and the beginning of socialism in turkish society - particularly in its rural strata; two other groups concern res- pectively the history of jewish community in turkey and that - some- times parallel - of ottoman freemasonry; a fifth file assembles articles on the part played by islam in today's turkey, finally the last set of studies concerns the various aspects of political and social history of the present-day turkish world

These coins extend along six centuries since Corsican conquest in the middle of third century bc until city destruction by vandals of the century. Thus is enlightened the monetary currency towards a provincial metropolis, and consequently roman military and economical politics. The roman colony goes through prosperity and decline according to roman fluctuations. During republican period silver is prevailing owing to military occupation. Under roman emperors coins are of little value, and confined to common exchanges. Opened on Mediterranean world this colony has depended on central power and also has borne a part in international trade

Full textFor a long time the royal navy was at the heart of the british military strategy. In the years following the second world war successive british governments redefined priorities concerning the security of britain and the protection of the interests of the country. New post-war geopolitical facts pushed the navy to the background : the cold war made britain give her priority to the acquisition of nuclear armement, to the royal air force and to the presence of ground troops in europe. The process of decolonization took away the world role that britain had had until then and contributed to the decline of the royal navy. Other factors also made the navy less important : defence spending was reduced because of the recurrent weakness of the british economy. The phases in the decline of the navy correspond to turning points in british politics : the british decision to join europe in the 1960s and the choice of the continental strategy at the beginning of the 1980s. The consequences of the decline can be found in the regrouping of naval units in the northatlantic theatre of operations and in reduced capabilities

Full textThe political history of iran at the beginning of the 16th century is marked by the constitution of a monarchical state regrouping the small kingdams of the iranian plateau. Ismail ist sat on the throne, taking the title of shah. Examining the constitutive elements of the concept of empire (the place and the authority of the sovereign, the central, regional and local administration, the relations between the central government and the tributary states, the situation of the different socio-ethnic groups, the hegemonial tendency. . . ) the first part of this thesis demonstrates that the accession of the safavides to power could be considerated as the reconstitution of an empire on the iranien plateau. The second part, which deals with the 18th century, has for object the fall of the empire and the multiplication of the power centers in iran. In spite of the short lived "afshar empire" linked with the territorial conquests of nadir and the survival of some constitutive elements of the empire's conception, the political system of iran in the 18th century no longer merits the imperial qualification

Full textThis research is based on a study of the military organization of the Stado da Mar, the maritime territories of the Venetian empire, during the second half of the XVth century. For most of the period, the Republic of Venice is fighting two wars against the Ottoman empire which end with territorial looses for Venice. We have analysed the cooperation of the three tools of the Stato da Mar’s defence – the garrisons, the war fleet and the stradiots (light mounted soldiers with Balkan origins) – and the Venetian leaders attempts to challenge and struggle with the Ottomans. We have insisted on the protagonists of the war, to show a less vertical vision of the Stato da Mar’s defence organization, using for this purpose public letters, few studied by historians until now. Friuli, region that belongs to the italian part of the empire, has been added in the analysis because its population suffers ottoman attacks during the period and because of the exceptional preservation of documents dealing with his perception of Venetian-Ottoman wars and his relationship with the venetian army soldiers
Scheid, John. "Le college des freres arvales. Un modele pour l'etude du culte public a rome sous l'empire." Strasbourg 1, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987STR10053.
Full textThe priestly college of the arval brethren is known by litterary and archaeological evidence, but first of all by an extraordinary collection of epigraphical reports. The evidence provided by these sources is so precise that one must consider the arval brethren and their rites as a model, and not only for this abundance of testimonies. They allow an accurate study of the structures of public religion in imperial times. The cult place of the brethren as well as their recruitment or hierarchy are the best known documents about the use of a sanctuary or of the proceedings of the roman priestly colleges. An annex of 679 pages analyses the prosopographical evidence of the recruitment of the arvals confronted with that of the four major colleges. The most spectacular evidence is drawn from the precise descriptions of the ritual performances of the twelve brethren. Regular vota pro salute principis or sacrifices related to the life and projects of the emperer give the precisest descriptions of that kind of ceremonies. The proper liturgy of the brethren, the sacrifice to dea dia, which is commented by detail, provides the best known account of a sacrifice, and, replaced in its historical context, one of the clearest testimonies of the augustan restauration of public cults, surviving without visible change untill the mid ivth century a.

Full textThe conquest and occupation of provinces outside Italy has progressively converted the roman legions into a standing army. The management and command of this standing army made necessary the development of a military bureaucracy. This one is tackled from the angle of the documents that were written on the occasion of recruitment, pay and discharge. Thus, we are emphasizing the significance of correspondence and communications between emperor, governors of provinces and the army units stationned at the frontiers of the empire, from the principate of Augustus
Péna, Marc. "Le stoïcisme et l'empire romain." Aix-Marseille 3, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989AIX32013.
Full textStoicism allies a highly technical and complex system to a thoroughly identifiable style of life outside any philosophical reference. The result is an opem, non systematic wisdom, without any hermetism, which is rich and fluid and able to live through the vicissitudes of history. It permits us to have a better apprehension of the astonishing plasticity of portico, able to be at the origin of the hellenistic period, then to ? and support a political system corresponding largely to its vision of the word : the roman empire. Lastly it managed to survive this very system and to influence the great doctrine from christianity to modern times, as weel as contemporany political thinking in some respects. Indeed, as a political ideology the contribution of stoicism is certainly to have been able to concerve the whole, a universal monarchy in which all individuals can find a place. As a political moral doctrine, it is to have wanted and to have been able to safeguard the freedom of each of the individual in this whole. Almost officially adopted by rome and its emperors, stoicism went much further. Its notion of the individual resting upon the archetypal sage, its notion of a world that is one and universal, its philosophical notion of the harmony between these two poles : the individual and the universal, gave rise to the cult of an inner god renderer to the core of the individual
Saliba, Fabrice. "Les politiques de recrutement militaire britannique et française (1920-1939)." Montpellier 3, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003MON30029.
Full textMilitary recruiting policies determines the manpower owed to the army. Studying British and French army recruitment is not only a military history work. British and French traditions in this subject are very different. In United Kingdom, the army is constituted by voluntaries, professionals. In France, military manpower is mainly recruited by compulsory service. Otherwise, problems about military recruitment are closely linked with the State structures; thus it's possible to study on institutional, social and political indeed even diplomatic issues. Decisions about personnel, not only reflect the dominant tendency of the military policy of a State, but come within the more general scope linked with international relationships. Then, regulations determine partly the role given by the executive power to the army. The subject raises a lot of questions: Why France considered conscription as an essential point of her defence between the wars, while Britain thought that compulsory military service was impossible to implement in peacetime? Moreover, is military recruitment a consequence of the military policy, or is the manpower system influencing the military doctrine?

Full textDrawing the situation of the Imperial roman society, through a part of her population, the freedmen’s one, let us study a particular and real life of this period. Indeed, formers slaves become, by the manumissio, Roman citizens but a dichotomy clearly emerge : freedmen not only endure the macula, this social inferiority due to their slavish origins, but a lot of them also were trying to overstep this fatality in order to raise themselves in the rank of the most influential citizens of the city. Nevertheless, by law, politics and intellect, the image of the freedmen in Rome was often devaluated. It is revealing as much in legal and official vocabulary used for define them as in portrays which Latin literature makes of them. Moreover, this inequality was considered by the freedmen like an obstruction to their individuality and so, they had to search, by their competences, their personal ambitions, sometimes their arrangements, to be visible for the free-born citizens. By the light of epigraphically sources, we want to see the different sectors, public or private, in which this presence has spread and how Rome has considered this population. Freedmen’s presence and effect on the moral and cultural traditions of Imperial period created thoughts matters, issued often from critical or mocking spirits but the beginning of a new thinking about the Roman society too

E. , the nationalism which founded its political expression in the comittee of union and progress, the liberalism guided by the ideas of the prince sabahaddin and the islamisme which could not build a srong political organisation. After a short introduction, the first chapter deals with the legacy of islam and the ottoman vision of the world. The effects of tanzimat period are also analysed in this section. In the second chapter the mind of the ottoman intelligentsia is analysed. The thirth chapter is on the on the models invented by the this intelligentsia : french, german and japanese models. The fourth chapter deals with the political actors, the "old" ottomans, and the "youngs". The fifth one is on some major thema and trys to show the interdependency between the three intellectual currents : civilisation, revolution, ottoman constitutional experience, nation and nationalism, and finally, religion. The ideas of ziya gokalp who was one of the most preminent ideologue of union et progres are discussed in the sixth chapter. This choice can be justified by his will to arrive to build a synthesis between the different themas of the three curren ts and to establish a nomenclatura between them. Finally, in the conclusion, the problem of continuity and discontinuty between the unionisme and kemalisme are discussed

Full textThe strait of Gibraltar, channel between two continents, narrow corridor between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, is a pivotal geographic feature. It has played a key role in the history of the neighbouring areas since the beginning of the Ancient World. It therefore deserves to be studied in and for itself. Indeed, its narrowness allowed repeated contacts between populations from both sides of the Mediterranean Sea since the Chalcolithic. More than a border, Gibraltar is a bridge that links the two shores of the Mediterranean Sea and an unavoidable gateway to the Atlantic Ocean. The existence of this strait, with its routes, harbors and currents, contributed to the shape of a specific area that influenced two vast hinterlands: the South of the Iberian Peninsula and the North of the western Maghreb. Rome was present in those regions since the end of the 1st century B. C. And gradually imposed a new political structure, that of a large Italy-centered empire, to this Iberian-Mauritanian area. The new political and military structures had to allow the integration of southern Hispania and Mauritania into a Mediterranean unity

Full textThis study addresses the subject of public life in roman North Africa. The principal sources are archeological remains, especially historical inscriptions, public records, literary works, as well as mosaics and reliefs. A few problems are here dealt with: the Romanization of North Africa culture and its continuation into late antiquity and also the conflict with Christianity that resulted from this wave of acculturalization. This study illustrates the successful diffusion of roman culture in North Africa, though this adaptation was directly related to the diffusion of roman citizenship. The crisis which rocked Rome during the 3rd century did not have a great effect upon this established system of funding and presenting such public spectacles, which remained throughout the christianized empire and there is even evidence which suggests that such festivals continued in those provinces overrun by the invading barbarians, such as the vandals in North Africa

Caesar miles (book i) wonderfully using of the roman legion, organized by his uncle marius, caesar was one of the most famous captains of all the times.

Full textThis dissertation deals with the rewritings of Edwardian & Georgian England in contemporary fiction, with a specific focus on J. L. Carr's A Month in the Country, Ian McEwan's Atonement, Julian Barnes's Arthur and George and Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy (Regeneration, The Eye in the Door and The Ghost Road). When choosing to go back to England's archetypal places, such as the English pastoral landscape and the “South Country”, “retro-Edwardian” novels question these territories' legitimacy and the ‘origin' of Englishness. Similarly, the English country houses are sometimes perceived as mazes in which their inhabitants get lost when trying to have one last look through their windows. Moreover, the concept of “community” is questioned, through its relationship to the Strange/Familiar dichotomy, in novels that are sometimes written “from the margins”. Gentlemanliness, its definition and ethos are then destabilized and the repression of feelings evoked. Still, regeneration is always deemed possible, whether it be thanks to the “talking cure” or artistic development. Furthermore, novels revisiting Georgian and Edwardian England are strongly metafictional, reflecting on the writing of History where fact and fiction are intermingled in order to create a dialogic relationship with the English literary tradition. Then “rewriting the past” is considered as an ethical enterprise where literature may reconcile such apparently contrasted concepts as postmodernism and humanism

Full textThe aim of this research is to understand the process by which the identity of the labour party is being constructed during its annual conference (1992, 1993 and 1994 conferences), the "political party" being defined as the product of the interaction of its members on whom the resulting entity in turn has an effect. This analysis concentrates on the participants who are involved in the construction of the reality of the conference, and is based on a variety of research tools : from the traditional tools of political science (interviews and questionnaires) to those of ethnography (participant observation). The annual conference, which, according to the party constitution, is the sovereign body of the labour party, also acquires a very strong ritual dimension because of it is an annual event. The aim is to understand how the diversity of representations contributes to the construction of this social entity known as the labour party, which is simultaneously a group interacting with other groups and the place where different agents interact with one another

Full textThe subject includes three main date. A function, episcopacy, a period, the 780-860 carolingian world, a common origin : northern spain. Some characters, some quite precise texts profited by a spedal care from historians, others remain almost inconspicuous. Hispani's works and acts often suffered from the weight of closer ideologies. This, research granted an equal care on apparently dissimilar writings. Biographies were reconstituted as precisely as possible, before examining the great events which attracted hispani's attention, among them let us quote adoptianism and iconoclasm. To conclude : the main features of their culture, the network of their relations and the fortunes of their work will allow to measure their real impact. Hispani were priests caring for the congregation and for the diocesan clergy ; in these respects, the example of theodolfus is significant. Simultaneously, they brilliantly kept up their positions in the discussions debated by the carolingian elite. The new testament writings and more particularly saint paul's epistles give them the necessary security to their acts. Bishop isidore, a spaniard from seville, and the great doctors of the church, such as jerome and augustin, are also laid under contribution. Their thought is strict, precise, scholarly rather literary. When, opportunity offers, they condescend to quote gallic conciles. Their influences upon the ix th century conciliary movement are clear. The brilliant careers of theodolf, agobard, claude and prudence, the real impact of their writings upon other bishops give evidence of their integration. A specific investigation about the local context and the pastoral writings would allow to obtain a still more precise image of hispani

Full textThe military byzantine strengh lacks of stable structures and it depends on an uncertain recruitment. There-fore it has been exposed to the risk of heavy failures in spite of some bursts of energy, in which we may observe examples of the greek skill. The permanent value of this army lies in its aristocratic management, this military nobility is often appealed to service and attempts to loose its task toward the emperor in order to devote its care to its own affairs. It moves to a regional autonomy where it asserts its importance. From this, the defence is negleeted. After frequent hazards scattered during two centuries, the byzantine world withdraws into a few remaining provinces. Without any valuable army, it seems to be resigned to a foreign trust

Full textAt the interface of the history of French colonialism and social studies of sciences, this thesis explore the ways by which the colonisers attempted to domesticate and disciplin the tropical nature. Some of the main foci of this ethnography of the experts of the "mise en valeur" are : - confronting tropical nature in three different microworlds (i. E. Metropolitan herbaria (ch. 1-2), colonial botanical gardens (ch. 3-4) and colonial agricultural research stations (ch. 5-6)) : interactions between material culture in science, skills and practices of manipulating and ordering nature, and the production of visions of tropical nature and its "right use. " - the Paris Museum national d'histoire naturelle as an imperial institution of the Third Republic, and the making of a colonial culture of curiosity in the wake of exploration and conquest (ch. 1, 2 and 3). - the role of plant transfers and colonial botanical gardens, in crafting of colonial agriculture and constituting a cosmopolitan/global tropicality in colonial cities (case study on Conakry, French Guinea, around 1900, ch. 3-4). - the capitalist plantation as laboratory : organisation of space, research, and calibration of plants and workers in order to achieve both (contested) social order, higher yields and steadier agronomical knowledge (based on a case study on the transformations experienced by the rubber industry in colonial Vietnam in the interwar years, ch. 5); - following the crafting (in the station of Bambey) and the distribution of peanut "improved" varieties (by semi official agencies), I underline the oppositions (but also the communications) between the experimental world of the agricultural scientist and indigenous farming (sereer and wolof) and i explore how, through such a seed intervention scheme, agrarian communities were placed under experimentation and rendered more receptive to the intervention of experts (ch. 6)
Agrebi, Mohamed. "Les effets de la politique britannique en Palestine de 1914 à 1947." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040019.
Full textEngland had in a large part determined the future of Palestine from 1914 to 1947 and caused the Israeli-Arab conflict. Seen as a strategic stake of great importance, this small part of the Ottoman Empire had been claimed since the nineteenth century by European powers. To win the war and substitute for the Turkish domination, England had promised Palestine to the Zionists and to the Arabs. But once the war was over, she realized that the two aspirations were irreconcilable. During the first fifteen years of the mandate, London had carried out a pro-Zionist policy by encouraging Jewish immigration and colonization. This caused the transfiguration of the country and Arab hostility not only in Palestine but in the whole Middle East. When Germany became a real threat to British interests, particularly in Egypt, London had to reconsider her policy and to adopt a pro-Arab attitude. This time, the Zionist opposition was more aggressive. Thus, in less than thirty years, Great Britain had become the enemy of the Arabs and of the Zionists. Weakened by war, and depending in a part on the United States, she failed to reconcile the two communities and withdrew, leaving Palestine in a state of war
Settipani, Christian. "Les prétentions généalogiques à Athènes sous l'Empire romain." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013LORR0304/document.
Full textGenealogical claims are a phenomenon as old as the hills, but modern historians very often tend to exclude them as a simple expression of pride without any grounds. Temptation is stronger under certain circumstances where the social, cultural or chronological hiatus is very important. We notice that the number of these claims increase considerably during certain transition periods, which is often seen a contrario like the illustration of the pride of homines noui without ancestors. I am proposing here to moderate this a priori by studying claims made by notable Athenians under the Roman Empire. The detailed prosopographic study of the family networks, to which these notables belonged, shows that what seems to be at first stance a trivial invention, is likely to uncover a long hidden reality. Generally speaking, this study intends to fully reconsider the phenomenon of the genealogical claims. The term includes multiple and extremely various findings which cannot be investigated in the same way, for example, the famous parvenus or the very old aristocratic families. It is also necessary to separate the claims from mythological ancestors and those from historical individuals, without contracting them. The influence of the Romans on the claims made in Athens at the time of their domination on the city appears clearly but it is advisable to check its real weight on a society with extremely old aristocratic history. The genealogical study will be conducted based on late prosopographical writings (Persons of Ancient Athens, Lexicon of Greek Personal Names) but will also include the full text corpus and inscriptions, some of witch only recently exavated.This study will highlight the fact that the Athenians had enough support to maintain a genealogical memory going a long way. In a certain number of cases, the reconstruction of detailed filiations even makes it possible to retrace precisely one path of the claim

Full textThe new institutions stemming from the coup d'etat that took place on 18 brumaire left the municipalities little room for manoeuvre. Thus in aix the municipality had restricted powers in hand under the consulate and the empire. However it joined the new regime and participated in its establishment to the best of its ability. With this aim in view , it applied itself to maintaining order, using the powers at its disposal to keep an eye on individuals and some of their activities and collaborating to the best of its ability with the army in order to facilitate its recrutement and maintenance. And to fight against the potential enemies of the regime the aix administrators applied themselves to the control of the public spirit through education, culture and religion. (first part) moreover the aix municipality participated in the working of the new regime by applying the new laws in the economic, social and financial field. (second part) but in fact this association with the empire was only superficial for, most aix inhabitants joined the "restauration" with enthusiasm
