Here is an unusual name for a blog: The books of my accines . The hesitation was long before entering a word so rarely used, but he summed up by itself so much that I could not bring myself to renounce. The accines is a word found in several dialects of Champagne. Generally, it refers to a walled garden next to a house. But curiously, in some localities of the Marne, and is called the field that lies close to the fence of the house. Finally, in patois Briard, the accines is an orchard, but this usage is also in Champagne. "Accini" is a word with multiple definitions, but that sums up what would be this blog. I speak because of my fields of research (the garden near the house), my publications (orchard fruits) and, last but not least , all topics that interest in the humanities (which opens the field beyond the garden).
is finally finding the word in a dictionary of "Speaking of Champagne" (by Michel Tamine Christianne Bonneton Editions, 2009) that the idea of this blog has materialized. After two attempts, one on social sciences and the Balkans (Paris-Tirana ) and the other very short-lived on the anthropology of religion ( belief / unbelief ), envy I got a blog where I could talk about all my interests. The previous two were subjects were fairly limited and marked, resulting in the difficulty that arose for me to talk about something else. It seems to me that it is characteristic of Humanities always watch what is happening outside his research field or discipline to go back then loaded from the experience of others. We therefore find on this blog a bit of everything that might interest me, either in the form of analysis, lecture notes, reports of events or publications. Two geographic poles, non-exclusive, will be privileged: Ile-de-France and the Balkans. As for discipline, I hope you get to talk about history, ethnology, but also of Archaeology or philosophy. Everything will be done through my reading and my meetings, hoping that you can, you also glean a few things.
