Drocourt, Nicolas. "Ambassades, ambassadeurs et délégations d'étrangers dans l'Empire byzantin (du VIIIe siècle au début du XIIIe siècle)." Toulouse 2, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006TOU20047.
Full textAt first, this study shows how numerous were diplomatic contacts between Byzantium and its neighbours. Beyond the variety of their origins, the reasons and consequences of their travels, great similarities exist between ambassadors. They belong to a political and social elite. Confidence is a central aspect in the link that exists between an emissary and his sovereign, and also between Byzantine emperors and ambassadors. It leads some of them to go on mission several times, which is a kind of specialization for them. Byzantine power's demonstration is another central aspect for understanding foreign embassies reception. Transport facilities granted or not to diplomatic delegations are a way to understand byzantine diplomacy. A differentiation between foreign embassies appears also in a historic perspective. Our study suggests that during the five centuries studied, diplomats coming from the Latin West are less cordially welcomed than muslim embassies and ambassadors, even if Byzantium is a Christian Empire. The Crusades period confirms this view, as we show
Falangas, Andronikos. "Les Grecs à la lumière des vieilles sources narratives roumaines, XIVe-XVIe siècles." Paris 1, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA010585.
Full textThe ancient roumanian narrative sources reveal that the greek influence in the roumanian countries existed long before the period, so frequently mentionned, of the phanariot princes. The case of somme voivodes of walachia or moldavia, during the xvith and xviith, who were either of greek origins or who spoke greek as a cultural language constitues a vivid example for this influence. More over, the presence of learned greeks in the roumanian countries before, teaching in princely or aristocratie cercles proves that this influence concerned as well the educational system. In the same way, the ecclesiastical dependence of the roumanian church on the patriarchate of constantinople, as well as the beneficence of the roumanian princes in favour of mount athos and other important places of the orthodox church may be interpreted as another aspect of this very influence. Finally, one should lear in mind that, despite of the latin nature of their language and their conscience of their roman origins, the roumanians were integrated in the byzantine cultural world : music, literature, painting and architecture, all of them took their patterns at byzantium

Full textThis dissertation aims to analyse the diversity and the intensity of certain transformations which the Great Invasions caused in the cities of the praetorian prefecture of Illyricum (in this case, 374-618). Focused on the urban centres such as Thessalonika, Sirmium, Viminacium, Stobi, Dyrrachium, Athens, Corinth, etc. , this research addresses two topics: the reaction of the cities (or citizens) facing the barbarian invasions, and the material traces left by the invaders. Based on a detailed analysis of literary and archaeological sources and, to a lesser degree, on epigraphic and numismatic evidence, this dissertation tries to understand how the presence of barbarian invaders impacted the behaviors, perceptions, and physical and material circumstances of the urban population in Illyricum. Besides the small indications and new opinions, my research yielded three principal conclusions: 1. Cities in Illyricum faced threats not only from barbarian invaders, but also form the presence of imperial military forces; we must understand this “double” or multiple danger if we are to arrive at a more complete and nuanced image of the complicated position of cities at the time of the Great Invasions; 2. Contrary to the traditional "eschatological" image which sees the Great Invasions as the end for citizens of early Byzantine cities, the evidence from Illyricum shows that some citizens were able to accommodate themselves to barbarian rule, and successfully make new lives and livelihoods for themselves in Barbaricum; 3. The invasions had a surprising capacity to cause chaotic turbulences “ex nihilo” in some early Byzantine cities, which were not a target of a particular attack

Full textStarting from the IXth century, the imperial power played in Byzantium a significant role in the emergence and enrichment of monasteries, by providing several fiscal privileges and by giving constant protection against the encroachments of the fiscal and the episcopal administration. According to the literature, the emperor obeyed to interests superior to those of the fiscal administration, and the foundation or the protection of monasteries was due to spiritual, ideological and political concerns. The imperial monasteries, in particular, were subject to restrictive obligations which were sometimes the private rights of the emperor, such as the obligation to welcome the members of the imperial family, and other times his kingly rights ; these monasteries served as political prisons for the ones against the emperor, sometimes for the dethroned emperors and their closed ones, and they were available to the sovereign who could give them to his followers.The emphasis made by historians to underline the friendship of the emperors towards the monks proceed from their will to confirm the legitimacy of the power of these sovereigns, despite their mistakes or their decline, in order to maintain the continuation of the imperial authority. If the legitimacy of the sovereign could follow several routes in Byzantium and get used to the violence, it could not do without the divine consent. The monks, close to God thanks to their virtues and intercessors privileged of men, were definitely the best ones to guarantee this legitimacy. The idea of the superiority of the monastic dignity, developed by the monastic literature and the Lives of the saints, seems to have found an echo in the narrative sources whose recites have contributed to the elaboration of a new ideological model, that of a basileia reinforced by monastic values

Full textThe thesis tries to define the masculinity and to demonstrate its outward signs within the Byzantine society. It is articulated in five chapters preceded by a long introduction wich poses the problems of research of the gender studies and the study of the Byzantine society : the first chapter is devoted to the perception of male and female nature by the Byzantine medecine and theology ; the second examines the social reappropriations of the male body as well as the male ideal figures put forward by the society ; the third is devoted to the sexuality of the Byzantine man ; the fourth examines more particularly the homosexual relationship while following the construction of a new type of sexual misconduct, that of the arsenokoitès, and the fifth is devoted to the figure of eunuchs and its literary construction

Full textThis thesis deals about the Jews in Byzantium under the Paleologans (13th-15th c. ). In a first chapter, we sum up the history of the Romaniotes from the Antiquity until 1204, when the fourth crusade conquered Constantinople. But the Romaniotes lived under different rules (Latin, Ottoman, Slavic) and the cultural evolutions of the different communities, under these different rulers, are considered. In a second chapter, we are studying the economic and demographic role of the Romaniotes in Byzantium, the settlement of the Romaniotes and the relations between the Jews and the political and religious powers. In the same time, the relations between the Jews and the Christians induce the creation of a judaizing heresy: the Chionai. In a last chapter, we are developing the themes of the apocalypse, the mystic and the intellectual trend of the romaniote culture and we are proposing a new study about the Romaniotes in the Ottoman Empire

Full textThe Arab policy of the Second Empire in the Mashriq was above all the fruit of the personal ideas of Napoleon III, the general history and the foreign policy orientations of France between 1850 and 1870. These foundations laid the framework for the geopolitical action of the regime. The Emperor’s general perception of the East didn’t place this region at the center of his concerns. Only the Christian question led him wanting to follow the Napoleonic heritage of the Egyptian expedition. Its action was based on two axes. One concerned the Christian protectorate of France, threatened by Russia and the European powers, as by inter-community antagonisms in Syria and Arabia. The other took support on the Suez Canal, commanding the role of France in the revival of Egypt, but also in its establishment in the Red Sea and in the Arab-Persian Gulf. On this occasion, France began to develop a new diplomatic weapon, the export of capital
Modéran, Yves. "De bellis libycis : Berbères et Byzantins en Afrique au VIe siècle." Paris 10, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA100128.
Full textThis study discusses the problem of the relations between Berbers (moors) and romans in late antiquity, by a particular survey of the first half of the sixth century in eastern Maghreb. Its originality lies in the fact that the perspective centers round the moors themselves. Corippus' Johannis reveals a division of the sixth century Moorish people into two groups. The "outers moors" are the nomads and semi-nomads of the Libyan desert and predesert. They did not undertake a great westward migration during late antiquity, but only a slow movement towards the coastal zone of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica. Well-known to the romans, they were nevertheless little romanized and christianized. On the contrary, the "inland moors", long settled in the provinces of Numidia and Byzacium, were familiar with the roman empire, and were distinguishable from the romans mainly by the fact they didn't belong to the cities and by their integration into the gentes. Apparently chaotic, the events of the years 533-548 must be explained principally by this duality of the Moorish people, long underestimated by the Byzantines

Full textThe purpose of this investigation aims at studying one of the main period of the moroco-ottoman connections. The so-colled period-the second half of the eighteen century-has been basically characterized by the morocan-sovereign-backed-policy of cooperation. So, is-it important to recall in a first part, the historical framework of that policy. The calling up of the key previously conflictual steps, the analysis of the diplomatic behaviour, and the mutual exchanged political speeck between the two sgtates have established the availability for the process of the policy cooperation understanding. The second part deals with how certain means and technics had contributed to the evolution and the developement of the moroco-ottoman cooperation. Indeed, we face two sorts of means : the (military) power the co-partners committed themselves to improve and come up the same level each other, and the means of communication which lack has been bearing upon their bilateral cooperation. The bird part deals with the analysis of the nature of the common action boru from their connections and its place of the international chess-board : in the other terms, we put mainly on boath the morocan attitudes about russian-ottoman wars, and about french expedition to egypt. In the end, we hope, by this dissertation, to overome to clear up some points relating to that historical period which continuity is still discernible
Ritsou, Chryso. "L’esprit antilatin à Byzance (XIe-XVe siècle)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA040100.
Full textThe aim of this thesis is to provide a different perspective on the relations between Byzantines and the Latins, compared with the traditional Byzantine historiography which presents them in a linear way: from harmony and cooperation to great hostility, which reached its height in 1204 with the capture of Constantinople by the Crusaders and which persisted until the end of Byzantium. This study focuses on the finest analysis of the relations and perceptions of the Byzantines towards the Latins, which varied according to political, economic and cultural/religious circumstances, geographical particularities, byzantine social classes and individual interests or connections. Its main added value is the comprehensive presentation of the topic of the antilatin spirit in Byzantium as a whole, both in terms of the composition of themes and chronological duration, covering all the components and all the factors that form it and influence it, as well as all periods during which it persists. It reveals that pro-latinism was present in Byzantine society concomitant with tendencies and behaviors of antilatinism and that the Latins were in fact much more appreciated by the Byzantines than the byzantine sources of that time lead us to believe

Full textThis thesis deals with the relations between Western powers and the Ottoman empire during the first centuries of the Early Modern period (16th-17th centuries), notably with the examples of Venice and France. It is organizes around three poles which correspond to three possible levels of understanding and interpretation. The first question examined is that of the perception of the Turkish menace to European coasts and the responses that were brought to bear upon it, underlining the decline of the idea of Crusade and the common-place nature of war against the Turks. Secondly, the study sheds light on the diplomatic relations which united Venice and France with the Sultan's Gate, thus emphasizing the importance that Venice attached to problems of war and peace and showing, in contrast, that these links built by France were undertaken to construct a durable reverse alliance against the Habsburg Empire. The third part of this research evokes French and Venitian networks in the Eastern Mediterranean. The complex architecture of Venitian presence which organized the territorial possessions of the Stato da Mar, its consular implantations in the Ottoman Empire and the residence of an ambassador or "bayle" in Constantinople should be compared o the more flexible structures adopted by the French in the form of a web of consulates ever more numerous and ever more subjected to royal authority. Thus may be explained the decline of the former and revealed the dynamics quality of the second. Putting in perspective these two parallel histories leads to a final series of reflections on the rivalries that opposed Western powers in the Eastern Mediterranean. The analysis of the ceremonial in vigour at the Gate, the study of quarrels provoked by the protection of Holy places, Oriental Christians and Catholic missions or raising the question of commercial competition reveal the principal stakes in the struggle for pre-eminence in the East

Full textThe aim of this research work is to make a study of the social-economic situation of the town of algiers at the eve of 1830, and this from algerian and french archives. We have focused on three important themes: firstly, the external trade of algiers with its different dierctions (europe, near east "mashriq", maghrib), which bears the litle: the geography of exchange. In its trade with these three poles, europe comes in the first place followed by the mashriq and finally the maghrib. Secondly, the trade techniques and practices, such as the diversity of currencies and weight and measures in use, charter certificate, the use of recognition signs, the different types of trading establishments etc. As well as techniques and practices found in other trading places of the mediterraneen, such as marseilles, livorno, tunis, sfax, alexandria. . Thirdly, the traders as trade actors. They are divided into three groups of unequal importance. The muslims who, after having played a marginal role in the trade of their town with the out side worls, have imposed themselves at the eve of 1830. The jews who, after having been leaders of this trade thanks of the help of the deys with whom they had relations of personal interest, have lost this backing as from 1805, but still held part of their commercial force. Finaly, the europeans, headed by. .

Full textThe sixteenth and seventeenth centuries flourishing Algerian corso declined in the eighteenth century. Therefore, the development of Algerian wheat exports was encouraged. French demand was the main driver of production of this export, and French traders the main intermediaries in selling this wheat in Europe. However the growing exports collapsed. This was due, on one hand, to the adverse effects of power rivalries around the exportations rent, and on the other hand, it was linked to the fact that Algiers Regency and its trade were highjacked by France and Great Britain, the two major forces in the context of Revolution and Empire wars

Full textThe subject matter and chronology indicated in the topic strictly define the object of my interest, and it includes not only the character of Berek Joselewicz, who has been treated by me as a symbol of a much wider phenomenon. This thesis has radically a chronological order. The plot of the narrative is Berek Joselewicz' s work. In Chapter One I am trying to present the shaping of the history and the lines of development of the Jews in Poland over many hundreds of years, which is essential for understanding the history of the Jews in general. Thus I encroach on the ground of a subjective history of historiography. In further part I reflect on the situation of the Jews in the Napoleonic France and its implications in the Duchy of Warsaw, which was a natural orbit of the Empire. Chapter Three is devoted totally to the essence of the issue and the main topic of this thesis, namely Berek Joselewicz. A Polish Jew, a member of the Polish legions, a character contrasting with an established stereotype of a Jew not fit for military service has not attained a biographic elaboration yet. The next chapter is a kind of Berek son's - Józef Berkowicz - biogram, who is in a way his natural inheritor. In Chapter Five I present the characters of not less interesting Polish Jewish heroes, who are presently half if not totally forgotten, and at the same time, in the part closing the chapter, I draw attention to a separate and enticing for a researcher issue, namely the Frankists, who departed from Judaism in favor of Catholicism or protestant confessions. In the annex, which crowns the thesis, I discuss the influence of Berek Joselewicz's legend on present - day generations, especially in the context of a modern perceiving of heroism. The thesis is crowned with an epilogue, in which I offer a slightly different outlook on the role of great Jews fighting for democratic and independence ideals in the Napoleonic period

Full textThis book analyzes the way French statesmen, diplomats, jurists and historians thought about the Holy Roman Empire during the period that extends from the peace congress of Westphalia to the Renversement des alliances (1643–1756). The main subject of the study is their knowledge of German public law. It pays particular attention to translations as a source of historical knowledge, given that the French versions of German fundamental laws and of the international treaties signed in Latin by France and the Emperor can be used like a seismograph showing the translators’ interpretation of the German constitution. The study also analyzes French books and memorandums on German law and history, demonstrating that the French foreign policy towards Germany was an application of an already acquired constitutional knowledge as well as a source of new knowledge. Furthermore, it pays attention to the role of Alsace in the process of the transfer of knowledge and, from the point of view of an entangled history, to the way in which Germans themselves judged French knowledge of German public law. In the course of the study, it becomes clear that the French notion of the Empire, for all its heterogeneity and complexity (which historiography has neglected so far), appropriately referred to the Empire as a federal state combining monarchical and aristocratic elements. Thus the French authors developed a terminology which could properly describe the institutions and functions of the Empire’s constitution, thereby contributing to the rise of French as a diplomatic language. In this process the Alsatians and the Germans living in France played a leading role as cultural mediators

Full textOn the basis of data and analysis provided by the diplomatic dispatches sent to Paris by the French military attachés residing in Constantinople (Istanbul), this thesis deals with the armed forces and the military resources of the Ottoman Empire under Sultan Abdülhamid II. Those dispatches, which are kept in Vincennes, cover a period of four decades and enable one to retrace precisely the political and military history of a sovereign’s much debated reign; as soon as he ascended the throne, he felt obliged to fight against Russia. The 1877-1878 war ended in the necessity to reorganize the seven armies on the Empire’s territory; considerable sums of money were engulfed in purchasing equipment and weapons. In parallel, the army, which was malnourished, badly trained, rarely paid and chronically undermanned, was put under Prussian discipline. The tact of Pasha Goltz, its main mentor, facilitates the success of the Ottoman army’s Germanization. The seven successive French military attachés from 1876 to 1909 gathered lots of information on the officers’ and soldiers’ know-how, state of mind and sometimes even xenophobia. They reported that, although rustic, the Ottoman army was a valuable military instrument, evidenced in its 1897 victory over Greece. But, forced to quell unceasing internal insurrections in Yemen, in Macedonia and elsewhere, the subalterns’ state of mind soured; discipline slackened. In 1908, Abdülhamid II was forced to abandon power, but he had fulfilled his task: he left behind him a strong army apt to defend the Empire

Full textContacts have existed between europe and tripoli for several centuries. As to relations with france, it is not until the 17th century that tripoli signed their first treaty. In effect stable and peaceful relations were only established between the two countries after the repeated presence of french squadrons off the coast of tripoli and the occurence of bombardements. France nominated its' first consul in 1630 in order to survey its' national and commercial interests. The consul was to progressively gain the status of a fully diplomatic agent. Relations between france and tripoli did not necessarily run parallel to its' relations with constantinople especially after the coming to power of karamanly in 1711. Between this time and 1835, tripoli benefitted from a nearly total independance. Tripoli was able to impose its' own policies and negotiate commercial and peace treaties with foreign powers, opening up to the outside world, independantly of the ottoman empire. While relations between france and tripoli experienced difficulties under ahmad pacha, founder of the dynasty, they improved significantly under yusuf pacha from 1795. France's politics toward tripoli remained unchanged under the revolution and the empire. Despite the conflicts and the wars between the european nations, diplomatic relations between france and the regency of tripoli, were unaltered. Through its' counsuls in tripoli france had a significant influence on the region. During this tims english consuls established strong competition allowing england to gain. .

Full textThis dissertation addresses the question of the links between the commercial revolution and the political revolution at the end of the eighteenth century. In particular, it analyses the connected issue of the colonial exclusif and of liberty of trade; as a problem of political economy, as a sum of legal norms and as commercial practices. This enables to shed light on the variety of political associations that emerged in the Age of Revolutions. The case study is the political and economic relationships between the wealthiest colony in the world, Saint-Domingue, the metropole and the United States, From the 1778 French-American alliance to the birth of Haiti i 1804. This dissertation aims at questioning the so-called rise of the nation-state. It disputes the idea that the French Revolution exclusively created a unitary and centralized nation-state, founded on national sovereignty and defined as the political expression of the community of citizens. It also places the United States in its postcolonial history and reminds that independence was not the only possible end to the revolution in Saint-Domingue. This illuminates the multiplicity of imperial experimentations that took place in the Atlantic World at different scales, both within and beyond national borders and in the framework of a globalized economy. Thus, it becomes possible to follow the sinuous paths and crossings of intertwined revolutions

Full textThe foreign policy of Egypt in the Near East from the end of the New Kingdom to the reign of Psamtek I (1080-610) has been subject of little studies. Yet, the political processes which reshaped the Near- and Middle East, as well as te mutations which affect the Nile valley help to explain how the Pharaonic state adapted to a new context while maintaining the outlines of the foreign policy inherited from Ramses III. The freedom of action of the Libyan Dynasty inheriting the crown of Egypt is soon to be limited by the rise of Assyria which extends its rule up to the Egyptian border. The power relations evolved with the rise of power of the Kushites who size the throne of the Two Lands. In spite of their strengths and despite the prosperity they acquire by trading with the Eastern Mediterranean, the Kushites cannot compete against the Assyrians who do not delay to conquer Egypt. Relying on the Saite Kingdom, opponent to the Kushite power, the Assyrians promote the rise of a "national" dynasty, the former acting as a guarantor of political stability of Egypt and its eastern neighbours

Full textThe lusophone world as known today, results from a long process which took a determinant turn in 1822 with the independence of Brazil. This event has a catalytic effect on Portugal which, lessened and almost dying, will seek in Africa the territories needed to build its third and final empire whose boundaries will be fixed only after the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885. Coveted by other colonial powers, Portuguese empire owes its continuity thanks to its participation in the First World War alongside the victorious nations. With the Second World War and the subsequent upheavals, the colonial empire becomes permanently obsolete. Portugal's willingness to maintain its colonial relationship, which presented as fraternal, cannot counter the political and juridical movement of decolonization that grows vigorously in the United Nations. However, the Portuguese colonial empire, like all other empires created on the same foundations, has disappeared in 1975, after the downfall of the Estado-Novo weakened and politically divided due to the colonial war since 1961 against the African liberation movements. The independence of former colonies opens the way for a new definition of luso-tropicals relations indeed

Full textAlthough it is usually restricted to quoting a few passages from Jean Bodin, traditionally, historiography boasts of a whole French germanistic, which was elaborated in the 16-18th centuries, in French discourse and political philosophy, in order to expose to the French eye the "monster" the Empire may have been. This work introduces a different interpretation of the French representation of modern Germany. This interpretation will focus on modern theory and political language. We will most of all clearly show the central importance of comparative reflexion and political discourse. We started from an historiographical enigma: Germany's lost image of the 18th century. The study of Germany's theoretical dimension -systematical and programmatical at a time- and its value for political theories of the 18th century has revealed criticism of the hegemonical model of French thinking about Germany's European representation at the end of the 18th century. It is thus also to be seen as criticism of a background. Answering this question meant exploring the even nowadays great mystery of the political library, which constitutes the first French germanistic. The methodology we used combines criteria of discourse analysis (with syntax-semantics and the conditions of enunciation) and of methods applied in the history of concepts, a questionnaire limited to the political vocabulary, exploration of the onomasiologic and semasiologic fields of the concepts in question (with the support of data bank). This approach and the applied methodology lead to the constitution of a series of conceptual landscapes and historical schedules. Within this framework there was room for manoeuvre for France's image of Germany.

Full textThe relations between France and the Ottoman Empire, which dated back to the sixteenth century, were significally renewed at the end of the seventeenth century. After the siege of Vienna had ended, Louis XIV adopted a position of benevolent neutrality towards the Porte, so as to bring it to continue the war it had started with the holy league. This neutrality was also interested because the French ambassadors tried to take advantage of this situation as well economically as religiously. After France had entered the nine years war in 1688, as the Ottoman Empire was on the verge of being defeated, an alliance "de facto" was established between both countries, which had henceforth a common enemy. From then on, their relations became close, and France acquired a political, economic and religious preeminence in Levant. From 1695 on however, the relations worsened, because each of the two partners was thinking more and more about the peace. It was France which broke the alliance "de facto", by signing the peace of Ryswick en 1697. Once more alone, defeated at Zenta, the Ottoman Empire was compelled to sign the peace of Karlowitz in 1699. But the latter event had negative consequences on the relations between both countries and the economic and religious advantages gained by France were partly lost. At the end of the century, France had therefore lost her predominant position in Levant, as well as an ally who could have useful in the view of the Spanish succession

Full textThis work intends to analyze some aspects of the Spanish projection in the Holy Empire during the 16th and the 17th centuries through the role of the archbishops of Mainz who also are territorial princes, arch-chancellors for the Empire and electors. The study begins when Emperor Charles V abdicates, an event that compels the Habsburgs in Spain and those in Austria to find a new way to organize their relations. First, Philip II goes on using the family and dynastic links that tie him to the emperor. Nevertheless, with Rudolph II's refusaI to consider Spanish wishes and with the beginning of the Flemish upheaval, the Catholic King has to build up a new net to increase his influence in the Empire. As a consequence, nets of clients are installed progressively and the archbishops of Mainz have a leading part in them: they keep contacts with ail of the princes in the Holy Empire and they can warn the Spanish King with the intelligence they collect, they have an influential role in the Electoral College where they can speak for the Catholic Monarch This alliance is possible thanks to the same definition of the Empire they share and it works until the last decade of the Thirty Years' War. Then, as the Spanish money arrives with a greater irregularity in the Empire and as discrepancies in the political objectives appear, the archbishops of Mainz leave the Spanish clientele and become closer advisors of the emperor

Full textThis doctoral thesis is based on a biography of Wenceslas of Bohemia, duke of Luxembourg and of Brabant, concieved from the point of view of the familial and “international” relations between France and the Holy Roman Empire. It describes the role of the duke in several great political projects in the 2nd half of the 14th century. The thesis also deals with the literary patronage of the duke, in particular with his relation to Jean Froissart. On the one hand, the Froissart’s Chroniques are one of the sources of this Wenceslas’s biography, on the other hand, the thesis finds an affinity between the duke’s life and the particular poetic work by Froissart, namely the romance Meliador and the “dit” La Prison Amoureuse owing to the Wenceslas’s patronnage. It also pictures the cultural milieu of the court of Luxembourg-Brabant in relation to the other courts of the Netherlands as well as to the emperor’s and to the the French king’s courts

Full textIn 1869 Thomas Cook arrived in Egypt with a group of 32 tourists. For 2,000 years Egypt and its monuments had attracted visitors. During the 20 years that followed the opening of the Suez Canal and that first organized tour, Thomas Cook & Son built hotels and agencies and organized steam boat services on the Nile. By the end of the 19th century they had turned Egypt into a major tourist destination. But the company's activities were not confined to tourism: between 1882 and 1886 it was involved in the setting up of the British military occupation. Most significantly the steamers and logistics set up in the Nile valley were used to convey the troops and stores of the 1884-85 Anglo-Egyptian Nile expedition to the Sudan. In the last decade of the 19th century the company continued to develop and diversify its activities, thus ensuring for itself a lastingly dominant position in Egypt. The economic benefits of this were felt all along the Nile valley. Despite the loss of its monopoly, none of its competitors were able to catch up with it. By introducing tourism into Egypt Thomas Cook was, in no small way, a modernizing force

Full textAs soon as the middle-ages, two competitive parties coexisted in anatolia and later in the balkans : the greek-byzantine group, from hellenic and christian filiation, a sedentary and imperial people from mediterranean tradition, happened to be tightly mingled with a population whose language was turco-mongolic, who was muslem, from central-asian nomadic origin. Between those two very different worlds, many were the conflicts from the xith century down to the nationality crises that opposed the ottoman turks in the xixth century to the sultan's sujects from orthodox and byzantine tradition. However, if one limits one's study to the sole aspect of war and conflicts between greeks and turks who have been living on the same territory for almost a millenary, one cannot understand neither how quick was the turkish conquest, neither the long life of the ottoman empire, nor the common inheritance of the peoples born from it. The present study gathers medieval and ottoman sources that were chosen so as to show that besides the undeniable conflicts, there has been between the two societies, along their long living together, a dynamics in political alliances, in cultural exchanges, in trends of ideas and behaviours, that allowed a common consensus and a relatively harmonious coexistence. The peace trend even existed in religion and a few mystics in both parties played an active part in a transreligious and even sometimes supraconfessionnal approach that lead to unite all the sultan's subjects by the means of syncretism, or, on the contrary, that sometimes opposed the government through anarchy and armed rebellion

Full textIn the 16th and 17th centuries, the island of Malta, which was property of Spain entrusted to the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, became the privileged site of confrontations between the Christian and the Moslem shores. After striking military events (raid of 1551, siege of 1565) and intensive fortifications (the building of La Valette), Malta became at the end of the 16th century the embodiment of the borderline between Christianity and Islam. During the following century, Malta came out as a border island where increased privateer warfare kept up conflicts against the "infidels" and helped the emergence then the development of trade contacts with the enemy on the other shore. At the same time, trade and human exchanges were constantly counterbalanced by the Roman Inquisition keeping a close watch on the society in the island. This balance has contributed to the shaping of an original society that was cosmopolitan and at the same time strongly hostile to any religious difference

Full textA cavalry officer born into Picardy's landed gentry, Armand de Caulaincourt rose rapidly through the ranks of the consular, and later the imperial court, to become in 1804 Grand Squire of the Empire. However, notwithstanding the importance of his curial functions, Napoleon destined him to a diplomatic career. After several missions, he was appointed as Ambassador of France to Russia (1807). Caulaincourt took part in all the major negotiations between France and Russia, but was forced to witness a slow breakdown in relations between the two Empires. At the time of his return to Paris in 1811, his political accomplishments were unimpressive. His stalwart defense of Tsar Alexander, and especially his opposition to the upcoming military campaign, were an irritation to Napoleon. Nevertheless, these stances allowed him to gain new stature after the disaster in Russia : in the eyes of his contemporaries, he became the “Peacemaker”, an image Napoleon used to his advantage by appointing him his representative at the congresses in Prague (1813) and in Châtillon (1814). The Duke of Vicenza, now Minister for Foreign Affairs, could not, however, broker an agreement in favour of peace : he was forced to negotiate Napoleon's abdication and to give up any hope of political career after the Hundred Days. This study, based on Caulaincourt's personal records and famous Memoirs, aims at restoring a major figure of the First French Empire to his due importance, while focusing on his action and thought in the field of diplomacy. The exemplary value of his career should also allow historians to reconsider and reevaluate the role of Napoleon's diplomatic personnel

Full textThe aim of our thesis is to understand how the Islamic world was perceived by the Portuguese in the early modern times as well as its expression in their written culture. We have therefore studied historical oriented sources – chronicles, travel accounts, official documentation – concerning the three most important muslim empires of the 16th-17th centuries, i. E. The Ottomans, Safavids and Mughals. Other than analysing the caracteristics attributed to the Islamic world by the Portuguese authors, we have endeavoured to place the written culture of that time in a confrontration between the political events, the role of official ideology and the literary practices of the different writers. Our research led us to the conclusion that despite the weight of a certain anti-Islamic tradition in the constitution of the ideological speach of the Portuguese Indian empire, the Lusitanian authorities always strove to maintain a climate of peace with the Ottomans, Safavids and Mughals. Furthermore, the Portuguese expansion in the East allowed the Portuguese historians and travellers to deal with the Islamic world from a very different point of view of the European humanist writers of the period. The contacts they established with the Turko-Persian historiographical tradition left traces on the way those authors studied Asian history before and after the arrival of the Portuguese

Instead, it will be argued here that the impact of the Eastern Question in Britain goes well beyond 1880 and is both multi-faceted and extremely complex. Without down playing its diplomatic and geopolitical relevance, l will seek to assess its rhetorical, cultural and ideological influences on British politics

Even if this region of the Ottoman Empire is mostly unknown in Europe before the events of the beginning of the 20th century, the case of the French Consulate in Salonica is emblematic of the deployment of the French consular diplomacy during the long nineteenth century. Despite its theoretical reorganization in 1781, the consulate of Salonica long remained at the margin of the French diplomatic machine before gradually become integrated. Much more than the diplomatic level, local realities precondition the daily running of the office, confronting the consuls to the common experience of otherness

Full textThe topic of this thesis is to analyze the three versions (Italian, Ottoman and Russian) of the Küçük Kaynarca Treaty signed in 1774 between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. After studying the institution of dragomans, the history of Ottoman diplomacy and the structure and languages of this treaty, we proceed to the terminological and etymological analysis of the chosen terms and put them into eight thematic fields: "Diplomacy", "Law" - "Religion", "Army" - "Economy", "Territorial administration" - "Geography"). We carry out this analysis on the basis of the translation processes described in this thesis. Our goal is to show the difficulties encountered by dragomans during the translation process and to see how they managed to overcome them. These difficulties are intimately linked to the translation and adaptation of notions from Western countries. In analyzing the chosen terms, we examine the translational strategies used by the dragomans to "convey" the new concepts for Ottoman society

Full textThe principal objects of this dissertation are narratives produced between 1204 and 1261 in the polities of Nicaea, Epiros and Serbia. Previous studies, for the most part, stress the anomalous character of this period. In their explanations of historical phenomena, historians draw upon fixed modern narratives of the fragmentation of the Byzantine world and the independence of the Serbian state, both seen as consequences of the Fourth Crusade. These arguments are often buttressed by the undefined concept of ideology. Using concepts borrowed from narratology and Marxist theories, this study challenges that line of approach, as well as the notion of an unambiguous nexus between texts and historical ‘realities’. Narratives are defined as resolutions to material contradictions. Ideology is defined as a set of narrative strategies used to constitute the subjectivities of concerned actors and to construct their social space. Analyzing the narrative practices of interpellation in rhetorical, legal, epistolary, and hagiographical contexts opens up the possibility of reinterpreting historical actors, actions and social relations. Examining the narrativization of space in a trialectical matrix sheds light on this important element of sociality, which was previously usually reduced to a passive object at the service of nation-states interests. Finally, the study proposes a concept of heterarchy as a way to replace the unsuitable metaphors of family and hierarchy, frequently used to theorize the power relations both inside and between medieval states. This dissertation offers an interpretation of medieval societies, based on the way their members told stories of their social and political experience. Thus, it has two aims: to diversify the reading of Byzantine and Serbian texts and to prompt modern scholars to rethink their approach to historiographical practice

Full textBorn in 1771 and died in 1841, Édouard Bignon embodies the generation who has live, with some trouble, through the French Revolution, the Directory, the Consulate, the First Empire, the Restoration and the July Monarchy. His career reflects all the French political changes. A private tutor, he enlisted in 1793 while trying to avoid being arrested. During the Directory, in 1797, he joined the Foreign Office and stayed in this departement until 1815 : he was constantly promoted, from the position of 2nd secretary in 1797 to minister plenipotentiary in Poland in 1813. As he joined the ranks of Napoleon during The Hundred Days, he had to retire from public life once Louis XVIII came back. Two years after Waterloo, he became a member of Parliament and sat among the liberals until the Bourbons fall. Separately from his political activities, he published several historical books which rose his popularity. In his will, Napoleon asked him to write the diplomatic history of his reign. Begun in 1821, the Histoire de France was issued from 1829 to 1850 and split into 14 volumes. In 1830, he contributed to the July Monarchy’s birth and became one of its support in Parliament : Louis-Philippe rewarded him and appointed him as peer of France in 1837, as a public recognition for his duties. This study which tackles all Bignon’s activities, aims to emphasize a medium scale diplomatic experience, parliamentarian’s occupations during the Restoration and the July Monarchy and Napoleon historian’s originality

Full textThis thesis is about Palestine's boundaries seen through French and British diplomatic records between 1914 and 1947 within the context of a geopolitical approach which connects men, territories and ideologies. The goal of this study is to show that the boundaries played an important part from World War I, with the end of the Ottoman Empire, to the creation of the state of Israel, mainly during the time of the British mandate. Palestine aroused protests as far as its boundaries were concerned; the sharing of the land is thus a main issue in the Middle-East. Jewish and Arab nationalisms confronted each other about the territorial definition of Palestine, each bringing an answer according to their interests and ideology. The result of this work shows that the boundaries, which had been imprecise for a long time in Palestine, are gradually getting more and more definite under nationalist pressures and changes in the British politics. The partition of Palestine decided by the United Nations in 1947 was therefore the result of a slow separation of the Jewish and Arab communities during the time of the British mandate; the layout of the boundaries of the new State was a consequence of this evolution

Full textThis thesis is a comprehensive study of the Arabo-Persian Gulf’s involvement in various ‘spacesystems’ —politico-administrative, economic, regional, and global— and the ensuing construction of the Gulf as a space. It aims to gather together the threads of two stories that are generally seen as separate, thereby illuminating the interactions between them. First, this thesis seeks to contribute to the understanding of British and Anglo-Indian imperialism in the Gulf: its operation, its spatial and ideological implications, and the ‘imaginaries’ it created. It reveals the politico-administrative and geo-symbolic creation of a space, the Gulf. Secondly, the aim is to emphasise, by examining various flows of products, the insertion of the Gulf into different economic areas, both at a regional and global level. The first volume (chapters 1 to 5), entitled“Spaces, Powers and Violence”, explains the setting of British and Anglo-Indian imperialism in the Gulf, through the use of different tools. The second volume (chapters 6 to 10), entitled “Flows, Connections and Internationalisation”, focuses on the growing internationalisation of the Gulf during the long nineteenth century, and on the gradual creation of what was, in the opinion of the author, a “composite” space, the Middle East. It is argued that the Middle East, centred on the Gulf, was empirically invented in India. Further, this second volume emphasises the insertion of the Gulf into what historians term “the expanding world economy”, through an on-going opening up of the region, and an increase in trade flows. At the same time, it recognises that economic links and interpenetrations with macro-regional areas remained strong

Full textThis dissertation explores the genealogy of the cultural representations of the Middle-East from the 1850’s to the beginning of the First World War. To this end, I will analyze a wide range of documents. My primary sources will include photographic prints, travelogues, maps, topographical documents, private papers, press articles, parliamentary debates, essays, novels and official papers. On a large scale, an overall perspective will enable me to study the cartographic manufacture of the part of the Orient that was christened « Middle East ». I will assess to what extent the actors of British foreign policy gradually drew this region. On a much smaller scale, a micro-history will bring me at man's height, close to figures of British involvement in these territories, in-between India and Africa. By way of careful study of their representations, I will demonstrate that the British gaze on this part of the world was far from being hieratic and that it evolved within the span of a few decades. I will look to specify this chronology. I will also establish links between these constructions of the East and the ideals of contemporary British society, especially through the study of photographic representation of these territories, as well as the analysis of their archaeological exploration. I will have to question the part played by early mass culture in designing this distant territory. The issue raised by the potential imperial nature of British involvement in this Middle-East to be will call for an appraisal of the polycentric and contradicting expressions of British influence in the region

Full textFor almost five centuries, the Roman Empire tried to keep Armenia under its influence against the ambitions of the Parthians and Sassanians, due to the strategical location of this kingdom. This thesis reviews the relationship of the Roman Empire with Armenia from the deditio of Tigrane II in 65 BC until the arrival of Sassanians in AD 224. Typically, such studies are only based on factual events. In this thesis however, the diplomatic relationship between Rome and Armenia and the resulting interactions are put into context by also taking into account other sources, which have rarely been studied until now. Therefore, a thematic analysis was performed, which is divided in three parts. The first part deals with the depiction of the Armenian Kingdom that Rome conveyed by analysing its monetary iconography and its representation in the sculptures. The diplomatic relationships, beforehand seen through the ideological prism conveyed by the coins, are put into context in the second part. This allows to understand the tactics used to integrate and keep the Armenian Kingdom in the Roman sphere of influence. The third and last part concentrates on the Roman presence in the Armenian Kingdom by studying the distribution of Roman troops and the resulting cultural and linguistic interactions
