“This is 1986. This isn’t like the 60s and 50s”: Locating the Long Civil Rights Narrative in Just Mercy (2019) by Johanne Østergaard, Mikkel Jensen

“…Most mainstream films about the civil rights movement are set in the South in the 1950-1960s, but this article points out how Hollywood in the 2010s broke new ground by also portraying civil rights struggles after that era. Many historians have heeded Jacqueline Dowd Hall’s call to revise the American civil rights narrative, and this article argues that Destin Daniel Cretton’s Just Mercy (2019) is a part of a wave of “long civil rights films.” …”

Misremembering Ciceronian Rome in Ben Jonson’s Catiline by Philip Goldfarb Styrt

“…By centralizing Rome around a single powerful figure (Cicero), both practically and rhetorically, Jonson’s Cicero is a forerunner of Renaissance monarchy, rather than remaining rooted in the contemporary factional conflicts that both Roman and early modern historians saw as central to his time. In portraying him this way, I argue, the play uses its Rome, and particularly its Cicero and Catiline, to comment on then-contemporary concerns about the efficacy and usefulness of empire. …”

Dater Bellechaise. Chroniques du Mont Saint-Michel et chronologie architecturale by Yves Gallet

“…The article focuses on the chronology of the work, and on the relationship with the buildings of the “Merveille”, which housed the monastic quarter on the north side of the abbey. While historians of the abbey, from the 17th century unto Édouard Corroyer, Paul Gout and their successors, have seen the work as dating to 1257 and as a separate construction site from the building of the Merveille, the analysis of textual evidence, combined with an examination of the construction techniques and the architectural style, leads us to propose an earlier date, contemporaneous to the work on the Merveille and to the creation of the new portal of the abbey church. …”
