Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De la mort de Louis XIV à la convocation des Etats Généraux, La France des Lumières est en effervescence. Elle fait depuis deux décennies l'objet d'un profond renouvellement historiographique qui permet de balayer bien des certitudes et des poncifs sur l'Ancien régime. De l'expérience réformatrice des années Régence aux entreprises modernisatrices des années 1760-1780, le royaume est un laboratoire où des administrateurs dévoués au service du roi comme à celui de l'Etat inaugurent des chantiers aussi ambitieux que socialement et politiquement risqués, au premier rang desquels la refonte fiscale et la réorganisation de la monarchie administrative. Les enquêtes qu'ils diligentent nourrissent une science de l'Etat dont les enjeux et les résultats sont débattus dans toute l'Europe. Loin d'être cantonnés dans la sphère intellectuelle, gens de lettres et figures des Lumières animent l'espace public et bousculent les frontières du secret du roi. Jamais pour l'époque moderne, un appareil d'Etat n'a disposé d'autant d'indicateurs ni reçu autant de projets de réformes. Pourtant, lorsqu'il s'agit de changer d'échelle, de passer de l'expérimentation limitée à l'application généralisée, le roi et ses ministres hésitent et souvent trébuchent. De fait, les craintes d'un despotisme ministériel qui sacrifierait les libertés et les droits des corps intermédiaires sont largement partagées, des métiers urbains aux magistrats des cours souveraines. De témoin, l'opinion publique devient arbitre et bientôt juge devant lequel les partisans des réformes et leurs détracteurs plaident. Alors que Louis XV rompt avec la représentation traditionnelle du roi de guerre pour se poser en roi de paix et en roi citoyen, serviteur du bien public, le processus de désacralisation de l'autorité monarchique devient clairement perceptible. Dans un contexte de croissance économique inégalement répartie, la société, est sous tension, travaillée par des mobilités ascendantes qui bousculent les cadres de la société d'ordres, mais aussi par la fragilisation de pans entiers de la population. Sur le plan international, l'heure est également aux expériences audacieuses, de l'alliance franco-anglaise défendue par le Régent Philippe d'Orléans à l'intervention armée aux côtés des Insurgents américains en lutte contre leur souverain.

Download or read book A History of Sixteenth Century France 1483 1598 written by Janine Garrisson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1995-06-14 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful new survey of sixteenth-century France which examines the vicissitudes of the French monarchy during the Italian Wars and the Wars of Religion. It explores how the advances made under a succession of strong kings from Charles VIII to Henri II created tensions in traditional society which combined with economic problems and emerging religious divisions to bring the kingdom close to disintegration under a series of weak kings from Francois II to Henri III. The political crisis culminated in France's first succession conflict for centuries, but was resolved through Henri IV's timely reconnection of dynastic legitimism with religious orthodoxy.
Download or read book The Shaping of French National Identity written by Matthew D'Auria and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shaping of French National Identity casts new light on the intellectual origins of the dominant and 'official' French nineteenth-century national narrative. Focussing on the historical debates taking place throughout the eighteenth century and during the Restoration, Matthew D'Auria evokes a time when the nation's origins were being questioned and discussed and when they acquired the meaning later enshrined in the official rhetoric of the Third Republic. He examines how French writers and scholars reshaped the myths, symbols, and memories of pre-modern communities. Engaging with the myth of 'our ancestors the Gauls' and its ideological triumph over the competing myth of 'our ancestors the Franks', this study explores the ways in which the struggle developed, and the values that the two discourses enshrined, the collective actors they portrayed, and the memories they evoked. D'Auria draws attention to the continuity between ethnic discourses and national narratives and to the competition between various groups in their claims to represent the nation and to define their past as the 'true' history of France.

Download or read book A History of Everyday Things written by Daniel Roche and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-03-09 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things which we regard as the everyday objects of consumption (and hence re-purchase), and essential to any decent, civilised lifestyle, have not always been so: in former times, everyday objects would have passed from one generation to another, without anyone dreaming of acquiring new ones. How, therefore, have people in the modern world become 'prisoners of objects', as Rousseau put it? The celebrated French cultural historian Daniel Roche answers this fundamental question using insights from economics, politics, demography and geography, as well as his own extensive historical knowledge. Professor Roche places familiar objects and commodities - houses, clothes, water - in their wider historical and anthropological contexts, and explores the origins of some of the daily furnishings of modern life. A History of Everyday Things is a pioneering essay that sheds light on the origins of the consumer society and its social and political repercussions, and thereby the birth of the modern world.

Download or read book The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie written by Sarah Maza and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who, exactly, were the French bourgeoisie? Unlike the Anglo-Americans, who widely embraced middle-class ideals and values, the French--even the most affluent and conservative--have always rejected and maligned bourgeois values and identity. In this new approach to the old question of the bourgeoisie, Sarah Maza focuses on the crucial period before, during, and after the French Revolution, and offers a provocative answer: the French bourgeoisie has never existed. Despite the large numbers of respectable middling town-dwellers, no group identified themselves as bourgeois. Drawing on political and economic theory and history, personal and polemical writings, and works of fiction, Maza argues that the bourgeoisie was never the social norm. In fact, it functioned as a critical counter-norm, an imagined and threatening embodiment of materialism, self-interest, commercialism, and mass culture, which defined all that the French rejected. A challenge to conventional wisdom about modern French history, this book poses broader questions about the role of anti-bourgeois sentiment in French culture, by suggesting parallels between the figures of the bourgeois, the Jew, and the American in the French social imaginary. It is a brilliant and timely foray into our beliefs and fantasies about the social world and our definition of a social class.

Download or read book Enlightening the World written by Philipp Blom and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2005-06-11 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the sixteen years it took to write, compile, and produce all twenty-seven volumes, the writers had to defy authorities and face exile, jail, and censorship, as well as numerous internal falling-outs and philosophical differences. Encyclopedie's editors and contributors daily skirted danger based solely on their belief systems. Compiling this collection made them - the Encyclopedists, as they came to be called - the most feared men in all of Versailles and the intellectual leaders of the French Revolution. In Enlightening the World, novelist and historian Philipp Blom breathes new life into the sixteen-year struggle to create the Encyclopedie, by portraying the men who wrote it, the powerful forces that tried to suppress it, and the tremendous impact it had on the world."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Historiographies of Philosophy 1800 1950 written by Mogens Lærke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses ways in which the history of philosophy has been written, from 1800 to 1950, and how it has been informed and guided by institutional, cultural, political, philosophical, and non-philosophical factors. Since its inception as a discipline, histories of philosophy have been written in different ways, depending on author, place, and time; they have varied according to institutional frameworks, cultural settings, and philosophical and non-philosophical contexts. At each stage of the discipline’s development and evolution, philosophy has constantly used the history of philosophy for its own purposes by adapting it, transforming it, rejecting it, embracing it, and rewriting it at every step of the way. The chapters in this book examine the methods deployed by historians of philosophy, epistemological foundations laid down for those methods, and the philosophical (or non-philosophical) aims pursued using those methods. This book will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of philosophy and related fields, including political philosophy and history of philosophy. It was originally published as a special issue of the British Journal for the History of Philosophy.
