Patrona The Oxford dictionary online defines obstruction, as “a thing that impedes or prevents passage or progress; an obstacle or blockage.” Nick Salvato’s eponymous book, multilayered and thought-provoking, is an original study of five phenomena that while they ‘torment’ scholars and impede inquiry, for the author “they may, if properly directed, be conducive to critical work and valuable, more broad..

Citizenship, identity and immigration in the European Union: between past and future (paperback edition)
No full textEuropean citizenship, identity and immigration are constitutive issues facing the European polity and have important consequences for domestic political systems. There has been a great deal published about citizenship within the setting of the nation-state and comparative immigration policies, but relatively little has been written on their theorisation in a post-national, post-statist context, such as the EU, and on alternative European institutional designs.Now available in paperback, this volume blends normative political theory with European integration, and develops an original theoretical framework for European Union citizenship, identity and immigration as well as a set of policy proposals for institutional reform. Challenging the conventionally held views in these areas, the author argues that a constructive model of European citizenship and identity is vital to the construction of a democratic, heterogeneous and inclusive European polity.Contents:Introduction1. European identity2. The institutional construction of European identity3. New horizons, old constraints and the Amsterdam compromise4. In search of a theory5. Constructive citizenship in the European Union6. Schengenland and its alternative7. European identity in praxis: From the land ethic to an ethic of dwellingConclusionInde

Beyond deviant : Theodora as the other in Byzantine imperial historiography
No full textEarly Byzantine historiography offers two contradictory portrayals of Theodora (Crowned Empress 427-458 CE). Whereas in Procopius' Wars of Justinian and Buildings she appears to be a courageous and influential empress, in his later work, Secret History, she is represented as a deviant female figure. Procopius' narrative of Theodora is overall disapproving of her character and actions. He discusses her early years as a 'shameless' performer and a prostitute, brought up in the social margins of Constantinople; Similarly, during her reign, he describes her exercise of power over the palace and her subjects as cruel and violent, driven by premeditated self-interest. In this chapter, I aim to discuss Theodora's portrayal by Procopius as a sociologically deviant female; it is a systematic study of what the author considers to be social norm violations that are subject to social sanction. I will specifically concentrate on Theodora's depiction as a sexually deviant young performer. I will then focus upon actions of cruelty and violence in her political and social career as an Empress. I will show how the paradigm of Theodora, in Procopius' Secret History, can be read as both making visible coercive social, political and religious power structures, as well as, disenfranchising femininity in early Byzantium.</p

Théodora. De la femme de l’empereur à la conseillère du prince
No full textTheodora, from the Emperor’s Spouse to the Prince’s Adviser
Theodora was the first empress to influence so deeply her husband, in two ways: first, in an unofficial way, through her closeness to the emperor; secondly, in an official capacity, by advising him and playing a leading role as an Augusta. In order to do so, she had to solve a paradox: Theodora was powerful because she was close to the emperor’s power as her wife. But, at the same time, she was not allowed to have any formal political power because of her gender. Eventually, Theodora and Justinian succeeded in overcoming this contrast by redefining the content of the title of Augusta.Théodora fut la première impératrice à exercer dans le même temps une influence officieuse sur son mari et un rôle officiel de conseillère en tant qu’Augusta. Pour cela, elle dut résoudre le paradoxe que représentaient ses deux identités biologique et politique. En effet, c’était bien à son mariage qu’elle devait sa proximité avec l’empereur qui lui donnait, de fait, accès à un pouvoir politique dont elle était, dans le même temps, en tant que femme, théoriquement exclue. C’est précisément la redéfinition de son titre d’Augusta qui permit à Théodora et Justinien de dépasser cette dichotomie.Becker Audrey. Théodora. De la femme de l’empereur à la conseillère du prince.
