Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imaginez : vous croisez un chat noir un vendredi 13? Mauvais présage ou bon augure, selon vous ? Connues ou ignorées, cocasse ou inquiétantes, les superstitions sont nées en même temps que l'humanité. Cultivées au long des siècles, elles représentent, à leur manière, des avertissements de ce qui peut nous arriver de bon ou de mauvais, elles constituent un rapport à l'avenir. Mais d'où viennent ces prétendus signes du destin ? D'après Pierre Canavaggio, ils procèdent d'un incident fortuit qui peut devenir prémonitoire, d'une obsession, d'un mythe ou d'un fait historique, oublié mais célèbre en son temps. C'est ce qui explique qu'il s'en crée de nouvelles aujourd'hui encore. Dans cet ouvrage, il étudie les mécanismes qui en sont à l'origine et retrace leur évolution à travers les âges pour en analyser le sens. Qu'il s'agisse de susciter l'amour ou de le faire revivre lorsqu'il s'éteint, de provoquer la chance ou de trouver le bonheur, l'auteur passe en revue nombre de superstitions, des plus courantes aux plus méconnues, classées par ordre alphabétique sous trois thèmes (amour, chance, bonheur).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intriguing book examines popular religion, traditional medicine, witchcraft, apparitions, demonology, and magic in nineteenth-century rural France. Devlin demonstrates that many of the impulses and mental processes now considered superstitious constituted a wholly reasonable response to the pressures of a harsh and impoverished life. Far from the product of a primitive mentality, many of these beliefs have survived in modern culture and can even illuminate the nature of modern mass politics.

Download or read book Becoming a French Aristocrat written by Mark Motley and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the highest-ranking segment of the nobility, Mark Motley examines why a social group whose very essence was based on hereditary status would need or seek instruction and training for its young. As the "warrior nobility" adopted the courtly life epitomized by Versailles--with its code of etiquette and sensitivity to language and demeanor--education became more than a vehicle for professional training. Education, Motley argues, played both the conservative role of promoting assertions of "natural" superiority appropriate to a hereditary aristocracy, and the more dynamic role of fostering cultural changes that helped it maintain its power in a changing world. Based on such sources as family papers and correspondence, memoirs, and pedagogical treatises, this book explores education as it took place in the household, in secondary schools and riding academies, and at court and in the army. It shows how such education combined deference and solidarity, language and knowledge, and ceremonial behavior and festive disorder. In so doing, this work contends that education was an integral part of the aristocracy's response to absolutism in the French monarchy. Originally published in 1990.
