Akdeniz İnsanlar ve Miras

La Méditerranée #2

by Fernand Braudel

"Kaynak orada, Akdeniz'in oluşturduğu o geniş mekânda. Bağrında inançların hemen yer ettiği, istila edilen, fethedilen Akdeniz. Cleveland'da ya da Stockholm'da, Krakov'da ya da Kiev'de insanların aklına Venedik, İstanbul, İskenderiye, Roma, Atina geldiğinde, içlerinde kaçma, mutlu bir denizin güneşli kumsallarına doğru yola çıkma isteği uyanır kuşkusuz; ama bu aynı zamanda, ister bilinçli, ister bilinçsiz, bir an bile olsa, o ana kaynağa, çocukluklarından beri kulaklarında yer etmiş bulunan o doğurgan topraklara, üzerinde yarı-tanrıların, bizimkiler kadar soluk ve kaba olmayan yaşamlarını sürdürdükleri o yerlere dönme, ayak basma isteği olarak da düşünülemez mi? Yetkin insanı düşlediğimiz, insan olmanın gururunu, mutluluğunu duyduğumuz anlarda, gözlerimizi hep Akdeniz'e çevirmez miyiz?" – Georges Duby

About the author

Fernand Paul Achille Braudel was a French historian and a leader of the Annales School. His scholarship focused on three main projects: The Mediterranean (1923–49, then 1949–66), Civilization and Capitalism (1955–79), and the unfinished Identity of France (1970–85). His reputation stems in part from his writings, but even more from his success in making the Annales School the most important engine of historical research in France and much of the world after 1950. As the dominant leader of the Annales School of historiography in the 1950s and 1960s, he exerted enormous influence on historical writing in France and other countries.

Braudel has been considered one of the greatest of the modern historians who have emphasized the role of large-scale socioeconomic factors in the making and writing of history. He can also be considered as one of the precursors of world-systems theory.

[Fmubarek · Rating 2 out of 5]

gereksiz ve haksız demogoji içeren küçük bir kısmı gözardı edersek beş yıldızı bile hak edebilirdi

[Ma Maria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Το βιβλίο εστιάζει στην πολιτιστική κληρονομιά των ανθρώπων της Μεσογείου και κυρίως στη θρησκεία, την οικογένεια, τις μετακινήσεις λαών και λιγότερο στην ιστορία καθ΄αυτή και στις τέχνες. Ασχολούνται πολύ με τη Ρώμη και την Βενετία και πολύ λιγότερο με το Βυζάντιο, το Ισραήλ, τους Άραβες και την Ελλάδα. Σίγουρα όμως οι αναφορές τους σε γεγονότα και πρόσωπα που σχετίζονται με τη Μεσόγειο είναι αμέτρητες.

[Gala · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un peu fouillis de par la juxtaposition de chapitres d'auteurs différents s'exprimant sur des sujets tantôt vastes tantôt très précis et passant du registre du livre d'histoire à la limite du (très bon) guide touristique mais enrichissant et intéressant.
