Abstract

In his eightieth year, Lord Rowallan has finally completed this autobiography. This is a book both moving and modest. He shares with us his joys and sorrows alike, keeping nothing back, yet never causing us embarrassment. He has inspired many people, especially the young, by his life, his unswerving standards, and his indomitable faith; and this, his testament, will surely do the same.

Abstract

The present contribution aims at discussing the many late medieval and early modern interpretations elaborated in urban and (post)communal Italy on nobility. It does so by attentively analysing the first book of the La Repubblica di Genova, written around 1550 by Uberto Foglietta, a Genoese patrician and a future historian of the city. Foglietta's libello therefore is a good starting point to reinterpret the vexata quaestio of being noble both in 16th century Genoa, and in the broader context of Renaissance Italian urban culture.

Abstract

Zur zentralen Thematik des Münchener Kolloquiums über "Adel und Bürgertum in Deutschland 1770 - 1848" zählten Untersuchungen zu den gesellschaftlichen Misch- und Kontaktzonen, in denen sich die Trennlinien zwischen Adel und Bürgertum verwischten resp. verfestigten. Das Haupinteresse richtete sich dabei auf den Adel im Süden und Westen Deutschlands, wo die Verbürgerlichung der Gesellschaft sehr viel bessere Chancen besaß als in Altpreußen und in der Habsburgermonarchie. Zu fragen war vor allem: Gab es in den Umbruchs- und Aufbruchsphasen zwischen 1770 und 1848 eine bürgerliche (und bürokratische) Herausforderung des Adels, die eher die Grenzen als die Möglichkeiten der Anpassung im Wandel erkennen ließ? Oder war die adelig-bürgerliche Elitenbildung schon vor 1848 Programm wie Realität? Wie wirklichkeitsnah oder -fern war die liberale Zielvorstellung, mit der eine Einbürgerung des Adels, seine Integration in die bürgerlich-staatsbürgerliche Gesellschaft und seine Einschmelzung in den "allgemeinen Stand" des Bürgertums erwartet wurde? Welchen Stellenwert hatte in diesem Zusammenhang die Adelskrise vor und in der Revolution von 1848?

Abstract

À l'epoque de la Nouvelle-France, la noblesse canadienne forme un contingent dynamique de la societe coloniale, jouant un rôle actif dans les spheres administratives et militaires, ainsi que dans le regime seigneurial. La signature du Traite de Paris en 1763, qui scelle le destin de la population en cedant le Canada à la Grande-Bretagne, vient compromettre la perennite de cette classe sociale. Perçus comme une menace potentielle en raison de leur ascendant sur le peuple et de leurs liens etroits avec la Cour de France, les nobles canadiens subissent beaucoup de pression de la part des nouveaux dirigeants : il leur faut quitter le pays ou accepter la nouvelle conjoncture. Cet ouvrage propose une incursion dans les sources canadiennes, depuis les premieres decennies du Regime anglais jusqu'aux revoltes des patriotes, en passant par les debuts du parlementarisme. Il permet d'entrevoir la façon dont la noblesse canadienne a pu reagir, s'adapter et se transformer dans un nouveau contexte sociopolitique, revelant au passage une riche variete de trajectoires personnelles et familiales. Quelles motivations prevalurent dans les decisions et les strategies des membres de la noblesse? Quelle fut leur participation aux grands evenements politiques et miliaires de la fin du XVIII e siecle et du debut du XIX e siecle? L'abbe Jean-Paul Morel de La Durantaye (1932-2016) a ete professeur de litterature française et quebecoise au College Lionel-Groulx de Sainte-Therese. Boursier du Conseil des arts du Canada, il detenait une licence es lettres de l'Universite de Montreal et un doctorat en lettres françaises de l'Universite d'Ottawa. Il a ete membre pendant plusieurs annees de la Corporation du domaine de Lanaudiere. La maladie l'ayant empêche de mener à bien l'ecriture de ce manuscrit, ses parents et amis lui ont fait une promesse solennelle : celle d'en faire completer la redaction, puis de faire publier l'oeuvre couronnant toute une vie consacree à la connaissance.
