Abstract

In 'Revolutionaire tijden' neemt René Koekkoek de lezer mee op een opwindende historische reis langs vier brandhaarden van de late achttiende eeuw: de rebellerende koloniën in Noord-Amerika, de dramatische zomermaanden van 1789 in Parijs, de Haïtiaanse Revolutie in de Caraïben en de eerste oefening in democratie op Nederlandse bodem: de Bataafse Republiek.0De revoluties van de late achttiende eeuw staan zonder twijfel aan de basis van de democratische rechtsstaat, al zijn ze door historici vaak afgeserveerd als hopeloos naïef. Maar er zijn ook historici die deze revoluties juist overenthousiast de hemel in prezen. Koekkoek laat in zijn boek zien dat maatschappelijke revoluties altijd een mix zijn van dramatische omwentelingen en traumatische ervaringen, van idealen en pragmatische beslissingen, politieke en persoonlijke worstelingen, momenten van hoop en desillusie.0'Revolutionaire tijden' is een ideeëngeschiedenis die een nieuw licht werpt op onstuimige keerpunten uit verleden én heden.

Abstract

Offering a broad and vivid survey of the culture of collecting from the French Revolution to the Belle Époque, The Purchase of the Past explores how material things became a central means of accessing and imagining the past in nineteenth-century France. By subverting the monarchical establishment, the French Revolution not only heralded the dawn of the museum age, it also threw an unprecedented quantity of artworks into commercial circulation, allowing private individuals to pose as custodians and saviours of the endangered cultural inheritance. Through their common itineraries, erudition and sociability, an early generation of scavengers established their own form of 'private patrimony', independent from state control. Over a century of Parisian history, Tom Stammers explores collectors' investments - not just financial but also emotional and imaginative - in historical artefacts, as well as their uncomfortable relationship with public institutions. In so doing, he argues that private collections were a critical site for salvaging and interpreting the past in a post-revolutionary society, accelerating but also complicating the development of a shared national heritage.

Abstract

Après la Révolution française, l’idée d’encyclopédie prend une extension considérable. Jusqu’au Printemps des peuples de 1848, elle est indissociable de l’idée de république universelle, et se trouve au cœur d’une multiplicité d’enjeux pour la reconstruction institutionnelle, intellectuelle et politique de la société postrévolutionnaire. C’est à la singularité de ce moment (1789-1848) dans l’histoire longue de l’encyclopédisme que sont consacrées les différentes contributions de ce volume. Loin de se limiter à un moment de l’histoire des sciences, l’encyclopédisme nous révèle la manière dont les sociétés modernes se représentent elles-mêmes et s’instituent politiquement. After the French Revolution, the idea of an encyclopedia took on a considerable scope. Until the Spring of the Peoples in 1848, it was inseparable from the idea of a universal republic, and was at the heart of a multiplicity of challenges for the institutional, intellectual and political reconstruction of post-revolutionary society. It is to the singularity of this moment (1789-1848) in the long history of encyclopedism that the various contributions in this volume are dedicated. Far from being limited to a moment in the history of science, encyclopedism reveals to us the way in which modern societies represent themselves and establish themselves politically.
