En annexe, édition d'une circulaire nobiliaire de 1478 appelant à l'organisation d'un tournoi à Wurtzbourg en 1479 ; International audience ; La Haute-Allemagne (Franconie, Souabe, Bavière, Rhin supérieur) a connu au XVe siècle une remarquable flambée de grands tournois aristocratiques, culminant par la série des Grands tournois ('Hauptturniere') entre 1479 et 1487. Sachant que cette région est par ailleurs celle qui a vu s'épanouir au XVIe siècle la « Chevalerie d'Empire », il est tentant d'examiner dans quelle mesure cette pratique du tournoi a pu constituer une sorte d'« école » pour la formation collective des aristocrates. L'examen détaillé des divers textes produits par l'aristocratie dans la phase des Grands tournois (et dont un texte capital, datant de 1478 mais jusqu'alors négligé à cause d'une erreur de datation, est édité et traduit en annexe) permet d'observer qu'on cherche à faire du tournoi, dans cette région à la fin du Moyen Âge, un mode d'éducation d'ensemble de la société politique : éducation de la noblesse au premier chef, à la fois en définissant un code de valeurs et en exprimant un idéal d'unité interne de cette catégorie qui devrait se traduire par l'unicité de son comportement politique ; éducation des princes locaux, dont la volonté de se placer au-dessus de la noblesse se voit opposer une activité dans laquelle ils sont certes en haut, mais dans la noblesse, activité qu'ils ne peuvent bouder parce qu'elle est dans la pratique un lieu de mise en place de réseaux d'alliances politiques ; éducation enfin des couches urbaines, exclues de la participation aux tournois et devant lesquelles les participants réaffirment la dextérité guerrière et le « monopole de la violence légitime », fût-elle ritualisée, de la noblesse. Le tournoi apparaît ainsi comme tout autre chose qu'une projection de la noblesse dans un monde idéalisé sans princes ni villes : il s'agit bien plutôt d'un véritable discours politique par lequel la petite noblesse qui le promeut tente d'inculquer sa conception des relations ...

"These highly readable essays unite recent scholarship on the meaning and use of state power with investigations of the history of intimate experience-marriage, sexuality, reproduction, family life-exploring the porous boundaries between public and private realms. In analyzing the relationship between state power and intimate experience in the United States from the Civil War to today, this volume makes the case that "intimate governance"-the binding of our private daily experience to the apparatus of the state-should be central to our understanding of modern American history. For the state is always with us, even in our most private, seemingly independent actions"--

The age of mass migration that commenced in the 1840s has traditionally been conceived within the orbit of Atlantic history, and rendered as a narrative of modernity and industrialization. At an individual level the departure for the New World was propelled by rising expectations, which nicely fitted the macro-pattern of converging labour markets between North-America – as well as Australia for that matter – and Europe. Many of the assumptions that brought global migration under the aegis of modernization have been refuted, or at least seriously questioned. But that still leaves us with the important question whether there are alternative paradigms available that fit the realities both within and outside the North Atlantic world. Some have already answered the question negatively. According to Hatton and Williamson, it is impossible to find a unifying paradigm that would enable us to develop a global migration history. Their argument is too important not to be cited:

LiDAR technology has become one of the major remote sensing methods in the last few years. There are several areas, where the scanned 3D point clouds can be used very efficiently. In our study we review the potential applications of LiDAR data in military historical reconstruction. Obviously, the base of this kind of investigation must be the archive data, but it is an interesting challenge to integrate a cutting edge method into such tasks. The LiDAR technology can be very useful, especially in vegetation covered areas, where the conventional remote sensing technologies are mostly inefficient. We review two typical sample projects where we integrated LiDAR data in military historical GIS reconstruction. Finally, we summarize, how laser scanned data can support the different parts of reconstruction work and define the technological steps of LiDAR data processing.
