[EN] Most studies on Moriscos have been carried out solely in the context of the history of Spain. Although the process was strictly a local one, one cannot deny the fact that the different events that took place in the Mediterranean region had an impact on the development and the future of that minority. The Ottoman Empire's expansion also had its consequences on the way the internal situation in Spain had evolved, and on the political measures taken against the « new Moorish christians ». The expulsion cannot be account for solely on the basis of these data, the do, however, provide a better explanation for the local events in Spain following the Alpujarras uprising. ; [FR] L'histoire des morisques a surtout été étudiée uniquement dans le contexte de l'histoire de l'Espagne.

L'expansion de l'Empire ottoman eut aussi des conséquences sur le développement de la situation interne de l'Espagne et sur les mesures politiques prises à l'encontre des « nouveaux-chrétiens de maures ». L'expulsion ne peut s'expliquer en se fondant uniquement sur ces données, cependant elles expliquent mieux les événements internes à l'Espagne après la révolte des Alpujarras. ; Peer reviewed

The World at the Turn of the Century, by Hubert Védrine
Far from being the "end of history" or a "new international order", the post-Cold War world is characterized rather by turbulent transition. Two fondamental issues are looming on the horizon : the role and place of the American "hyperpower" and the relations between the West and the other parts of the world. In the face of the risks of unilateralism and uniformization, we should strive to achieve a multipolar, diversified and multilateral world based on cooperation and negotiation. The European Union must play an important role in such a world. Faced with the risk of rejection or the West and of its values, it is necessary to hâve more regard for the pace and stages of development of non-Western countries and not to demand that they convert to democracy overnight. This is a key condition for the emergence of a genuinely universal consensus and of an authentic "international community".

Les salaires des domestiques recrutés au Canada au XVII e siècle sont un domaine qui a peu suscité l'intérêt des historiens. En dépit de problèmes méthodologiques inhérents au sujet, la bonne conservation des archives notariales canadiennes autorise néanmoins leur analyse, et nous éclaire sur la nature de la domesticité dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent. Ces salaires se distinguent par la diversité des modalités de paiements bien que les règlements en nature deviennent, tout au long du XVII e siècle, de plus en plus utilisés par les employeurs. Cette tendance est à rapprocher de l'augmentation du nombre de très jeunes domestiques natifs du Canada, une main-d'œuvre enfantine bon marché qui témoigne de la consolidation de la colonie. Quant à ceux rémunérés en espèces, il apparaît qu'ils ne coûtent pas vraiment plus chers que les engagés immigrants, et que les disparités observées dans leurs gages tiennent aussi bien des caractéristiques physiques de la main-d'œuvre, que de la durée de l'engagement, de la conjoncture économique, ou encore du lieu du recrutement.

This article explores the contrasting visions of world geography prevailing around the Bay of Bengal in the 17th century, namely in Aceh and Arakan. After a preliminary study of the geographical horizons of Bengali and Malay literature, the authors proceed to an analysis and comparison of the world descriptions of the religious scholar Nur al-Din al-Rānīrī and of the Bengali poet Ālāol, having worked respectively in Aceh and Mrauk-U. This inquiry into the perceptions of the world is conceived as a first step toward a deeper understanding of the attitudes towards regional cultures in the 17th century, at a time when cosmopolitan languages such as Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian gave way to regional languages, such as Bengali and Malay.

"Between the Middle Ages and the seventeenth century, the discovery of new, non-European worlds overturned existing anthropological and metaphysical models as well as those considered legal by the Christian West. Between anthropology, history, literature, and law, this work analyses the representations of these juridical worlds."--English translation from Classiques Garnier web page, viewed 2/19/2016

This paper is concerned with the comparison between the moroccan sultan Aḥmad al-Manṣūr and the 17th century Fāsī saint Aḥmad Ibn 'Abd Allāh Ma'an. Through this comparison, it is intented to emphasize the communicative character of the sanctification of political power based on the application of specific rhetorical means. The analysis of some of these means in the case of Aḥmad al-Manṣūr demonstrates the difficulties of sanctifying political power, especially when one considers it from the vantage point of the reception of such a discourse. ; Este artículo se centra en la comparación entre el sultán marroquí Aḥmad al-Manṣūr y el santo de Fez Aḥmad Ibn 'Abd Allāh Ma'an.

El análisis de algunos de esos recursos en el caso de Aḥmad al-Mansūr demuestra la dificultad de sacralizar el poder, teniendo en cuenta especialmente el punto de vista de la recepción del discurso.
