Abstract

In his grotto and garden concepts, Bernard Palissy (1510-1590) developed the veristic "style rustique". It reflects the upheavals that transformed Renaissance Europe, particularly in the fields of religion and science. Juliette Ferdinand addresses all of Palissy's areas of interest, including ceramics, garden art, and natural philosophy. She sheds light on his demand for a reform of science and religion that should be guided by a return to the origins of nature and scripture. Beyond the astonishment that their appearance still arouses in the viewer, it is the complexity and richness of an era that the "rustic figulines" testify to. In seinen Grotten und Gartenkonzepten entwickelte Bernard Palissy (1510-1590) den veristischen "style rustique". In ihm spiegeln sich die Umbrüche wider, die das Europa der Renaissance insbesondere in Religion und Wissenschaft grundlegend verändert haben. Juliette Ferdinand setzt sich mit allen Interessensgebieten von Palissy auseinander, darunter Keramik, Gartenkunst und Naturphilosophie. Sie beleuchtet seine Forderung nach einer Reform von Wissenschaft und Religion, die bestimmt sein sollte von der Rückbesinnung auf die Ursprünge der Natur und der Schriften. Die "rustic figulines", die auch den heutigen Betrachter noch in Staunen versetzen, zeugen von der Komplexität und dem Reichtum einer ganzen Ära.

Abstract

Pierre Naville (1903-1993) fut une figure du surréalisme, puis un militant professionnel, avant d’entamer la rédaction de ses œuvres majeures, et d’acquérir une légitimité scientifique dans le champ de la sociologie. Pour autant, il ne cessa jamais d’être un militant et un écrivain. Cet ouvrage se propose d’analyser une série de rencontres essentielles, réelles et/ou intellectuelles, dans la vie de Naville : rencontre avec André Breton et les surréalistes, avec Léon Trotsky, avec Georges Friedmann, mais aussi avec Paul Thiry d’Holbach ou John Broadus Watson…. Cette démarche permet ainsi de mieux comprendre la position de ce riche héritier en capital social et culturel dans les différents champs du savoir (politique, littéraire et sociologique), et la façon dont il se situe au cœur de réseaux qui se recoupent, se croisent et s’alimentent les uns les autres. Ce livre offre donc, outre une archéologie des savoirs, des pratiques et des affinités de Pierre Naville, une contribution à la connaissance de la construction, du fonctionnement et de l’imbrication de ces réseaux eux-mêmes : réseaux familiaux, réseaux militants, réseaux intellectuels, réseaux professionnels.

Gouverner une Église en révolution : Histoires et mémoires de l’épiscopat constitutionnel

Abstract

« Intrus », « apostats », « schismatiques »… Les qualificatifs dépréciatifs n’ont guère manqué sous la plume des historiens catholiques du xixe siècle pour décrire l’action des évêques constitutionnels, institués par l’Assemblée nationale constituante en 1790 pour prendre la tête de l’Église de France « régénérée ». Catholiques révolutionnaires, fervents républicains pour certains, cet engagement politique leur a été sévèrement reproché après la signature du Concordat de 1801, donnant naissance à une véritable légende noire. Dans le même temps, l’historiographie républicaine a longtemps occulté leur rôle politique en raison de leur état ecclésiastique, jugé incompatible avec la défense des idéaux révolutionnaires. Seule la figure du célèbre évêque de Blois, Henri Grégoire, panthéonisé en 1989, réussit à émerger et retient régulièrement l’attention des chercheurs depuis ces trois dernières décennies. Ce volume, qui rassemble les contributions du colloque organisé à Lyon en juin 2012, propose de nouvelles pistes de recherche sur les évêques « patriotes », afin de replacer leur action dans la longue histoire de l’épiscopat français aux xviiie-xixe siècles : ont-ils « révolutionné » leur diocèse ou, au contraire, maintenu, voire réactivé, d’antiques traditions au nom du primitivisme cher aux Lumières chrétiennes ? Quels ont été leurs échecs et leurs réussites ? Que leur doit l’Église concordataire ? Leur pensée théologique, leurs engagements politiques et leur action pastorale sont ici étudiés à travers une série d’études synthétiques, régionales ou biographiques, au plus près de sources d’époque, loin de l’anathème ou de l’apologie.

Abstract

"The Writer's Gift or the Patron's Pleasure? introduces a new approach to literary patronage through a reassessment of the medieval paragon of literary sponsorship, Charles V of France. Traditionally celebrated for his book commissions that promoted the vernacular, Charles V also deserves credit for having profoundly altered the literary economy when bypassing the traditional system of acquiring books through gifting to favor the commission. When upturning literary dynamics by soliciting works to satisfy his stated desires, the king triggered a multi-generational literary debate concerned with the effect a work's status as a solicited or unsolicited text had in determining the value and purpose of the literary enterprise. Treating first the king's commissioned writers and then canonical French late medieval authors, Deborah McGrady argues that continued discussion of these competing literary economies engendered the concept of the 'writer's gift,' which vernacular writers used to claim a distinctive role in society based on their triple gift of knowledge, wisdom, and literary talent."--

Abstract

Explores how the topic of 'youth' has inspired Francophone filmmakers to explore and reinvent common tropes associated with young peopleYouth has been represented on screen for decades and has informed many directors’ visual, narrative and social perspectives, but there has not been a body of work addressing the richness and complexity of this topic in a French and Francophone context. This volume offers new insights into the works of emerging and well-established directors alike, who all chose to place youth at the heart of their narrative and aesthetic concerns. Showing how the topic of ‘youth’ has inspired filmmakers to explore and reinvent common tropes associated with young people, the book also addresses how the representation of youth can be used to mirror the tensions – political, social, religious, economic or cultural – that agitate a society at a given time in its history.Key featuresDeals with contemporary issues such as LGBTQ identities, terrorism or social tensions and inequities in French and Francophone societiesPresents significant filmmakers whose work has rarely been discussed in an academic settingIntroduces the works of emerging directors and/or prominent directors from Francophone countriesGathers academics from different fields, offering a multi-faceted approach to the topic of youth in filmContributorsKarine Chevalier, University of Roehampton, LondonJuliette Feyel, University of Paris-NanterreFiona Handyside, University of ExeterMaria Flood, Keele UniversityAubrey Korneta, Sarah Lawrence College Kathryn Chaffee, University of California, Los AngelesBen McCann, University of AdelaideEricka Knudson, Harvard UniversityGemma Edney, University of ExeterElizabeth Geary Keohane, University of GlasgowJocelyn Wright, University of Texas - AustinWalter S.

Abstract

In May 1790, the French National Assembly renounced wars of conquest. Two years later, France declared war on Austria and invaded Belgium and the Rhineland, claiming it was to spread the benefits of the Revolution. Soon, however, military and economic crises drove a shift in the nature of France's war effort. What started as a war for liberty became a war for conquest, one that brought devastating exploitation to the Rhineland. It was during this time that French foreign policy became influenced by the idea of attaining the natural frontiers - the Alps, the Pyrenees, and, most significantly, the Rhine. Although often portrayed as a diplomatic tradition of the French monarchy, Jordan R. Hayworth shows how the natural frontiers policy was born during the Revolution. In addition, he examines the intense and consequential debates that arose over the policy, which caused much confusion in the war and helped to undermine France's democratic experiment.

Abstract

From their crystallisation in the late fifth century to their ultimate decline in the eighth, the Merovingian kingdoms were a product of a vibrant Mediterranean society with both a cultural past and a dynamic and ongoing dialogue between the member communities. By bringing together the scholarship of historians, archaeologists, art historians, and manuscript researchers, this volume examines the Merovingian world's Mediterranean connections. The Franks' cultural horizons spanned not only the Latin-speaking world, but also the Byzantine Empire, northern Europe, Sassanid Persia, and, after the seventh century, a quickly ascendant Islamic culture. Traces of a constant movement of people and cultural artefacts through this world are ubiquitous. As simultaneous consumers, adapters, and disseminators of culture, the degree to which the Merovingian kingdoms were thought to engage with their neighbours is re-evaluated as this volume analyses written accounts, archaeological findings and artefacts to provide new perspectives on Merovingian wide-ranging relations.

Abstract

Exploring the myriad efforts to strengthen colonial empire that unfolded in response to France's imperial crisis in the second half of the eighteenth century, Pernille Røge examines how political economists, colonial administrators, planters, and entrepreneurs shaped the recalibration of empire in the Americas and in Africa alongside the intensification of the French Caribbean plantation complex. Emphasising the intellectual contributions of the Economistes (also known as the Physiocrats) to formulate a new colonial doctrine, the book highlights the advent of an imperial discourse of commercial liberalisation, free labour, agricultural development, and civilisation. With her careful documentation of the reciprocal impacts of economic ideas, colonial policy and practices, Røge also details key connections between Ancien Régime colonial innovation and the French Revolution's republican imperial agenda. The result is a novel perspective on the struggles to reinvent colonial empire in the final decades of the Ancien Régime and its influences on the French Revolution and beyond.
