Le présent volume, résolument multilingue (français, italien, anglais, espagnol, arbëresh/albanais), tout comme la communauté linguistique étudiée, est à la fois le produit de l'intérêt des coordinateurs de l'ouvrage pour la langue arbëresh (ou albanais d'Italie), et l'aboutissement d'un projet de sociolinguistique sur l'aménagement linguistique ' de par en bas ' (ou bottom-up: par la société civile et le tissu associatif) de cette importante langue minoritaire du sud-est européen, déposé auprès du Conseil Scientifique de l'Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 à l'automne 2019. Il a pour vocation d'ouvrir des perspectives et des pistes de réflexion future, opposant les processus de pulvérisation et de perdurance du lien socioculturel et de la langue arbëresh, sur son état des choses sociolinguistique et géopolitique, dans son contexte non seulement européen, mais mondial, car cette langue, historiquement transplantée depuis les Balkans vers l'Italie, a connu ces deux derniers siècles une diaspora dans la diaspora par l'émigration. Le cas arbëresh est métonymique d'une situation sociolinguistique historique qui déjoue bien des idées reçues sur les politiques linguistiques et la question des langues minoritaires. Un cas d'école ' à rebours ', que ce volume se propose d'explorer ' de par en bas '

"Kamandaki's Nītisāra, or The Essence of Politics, redefined the field of political thought in early medieval India and became one of the most influential works in the genre across South and Southeast Asia. It was likely written during or shortly after the Gupta Empire (c. 325-550 C.E.) and enjoyed wide popularity for nearly a millennium. An elegant introduction to the intricacies of statecraft, The Essence of Politics encompasses virtually all aspects of elite social life, making it indispensable for generals, spies, ministers, and other members of the royal court, especially poets writing about war and conquest. Addressed directly to the king, its lessons range from the finer points of military strategy and economic policy to the moral qualities of effective rulers. Kamandaki anchors political practice in intellectual and spiritual discipline. His model of leadership, based on self-control and personal cultivation, is as relevant today as it was in its own time. The Sanskrit text, presented here in the Devanagari script, accompanies a new English prose translation"--

This article surveys the ouevre of the Icelandic writer Jakobína Sigurðardóttir (1918-1994) on the occasion of her centenary. Various aspects of her novels, short stories, poetry and memoirs are examined, including the ways in which she presents time in her texts – time as it pertains to individual life spans and the interaction of different generations, as well as time in the life of a nation which could be said to have switched abodes in the course of the 20th Century, moving from rural to urban settings, and during this time the island nation attained sovereignty and independence. narrative is a key element in treating time and historical shifts, and attention is paid to the ways in which Sigurðardóttir both renews realist traditions and resorts to more radical narrative forms, pulling the reader into an active dialogue on gender and generational issues, on social justice and equality, as well on the routes and conditions which connect and mould places of dwelling – individual houses as well as the abode of the nation.
