Framing settlement systems as spatial adaptive systems

Framing settlement systems as spatial adaptive systems

Theoretical developments are needed to interpret the increasing amount of large-scale spatial data about past settlements. So far, settlement patterns have mostly been considered as passive imprints of past human activities and most theories are limited to ecological processes. Locational and spatial interactions have scarcely been included as long-term driving forces of settlement systems but hold promise to explain large-scale patterns.

A la recherche des juifs spoliés : pillages et "aryanisation" au Luxembourg pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale

A la recherche des juifs spoliés : pillages et "aryanisation" au Luxembourg pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale

Suite aux travaux de la Commission spéciale pour l'étude des spoliations des biens juifs au Luxembourg pendant les années de guerre 1940-1945 (2001-2009), trois idées dominaient la compréhension de la dépossession des personnes considérées comme juives au Luxembourg pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. La première, reprenant la phrase de Paul Cerf, était de penser qu’il n’y avait « point de Rothschild parmi les juifs luxembourgeois », autrement dit qu’il n’y avait pas de collection d’œuvres d’art parmi cette population.

Fairy-tale prince or voivode? Royalist propaganda and theories of monarchy under Carol II of Romania

Fairy-tale prince or voivode? Royalist propaganda and theories of monarchy under Carol II of Romania

The article discusses the self-portrayal of the 'Royal Dictatorship' of Carol II of Romania and analyses four theories of monarchy produced or published under his regime. It shows that the Romanian 'Royal Dictatorship' relied on leitmotifs targeting the multiparty system, territorial revisionism, and the Iron Guard, but that it lacked a coherent official doctrine. The article argues that this void allowed for Romanian theorists of monarchy to draw divergent, Western or (pseudo-)autochthonous genealogies for the regime.
