Download or read book Dress and Cultural Difference in Early Modern Europe written by Cornelia Aust and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dress is a key marker of difference. It is closely attached to the body, part of the daily routine, and an unavoidable means of communication. The clothes people wear tell stories about their allegiances and identities but also about their exclusion and stigmatization. They allow for the display of wealth and can mercilessly display poverty and indigence. Clothes also enable people to play with identities and affinities: for instance, individuals can claim higher social status via their clothes. In many ways, dress is thus open to manipulation by the wearer and misinterpretation by the observer. Authorities—whether religious or secular, local or regional—have always aimed at imposing order on this potential muddle. This is particularly true for the early modern era, when the world became ever more complex. In Europe, the composition of societies diversified with the emergence of new social groups and increasing migration and travel. Thanks to intensified long-distance trade and technological developments, new fashionable clothes and accessories entered the market. With the emergence of a consumer culture, it was now the case that not only the extremely wealthy could afford at least the occasional indulgence in luxury items and accessories. Over recent years, research has focused on a variety of areas related to dress and appearance in the context of early-modern political, socio-economic, and cultural transformations both within Europe and related to its entanglement with other parts of the world. Nevertheless, a significant compartmentalization in the research on dress and appearance remains: research is often organized around particular cities and territories, and much research is still framed by modern national boundaries. This special issue looks at dress and its perception in Europe from a transcultural perspective and highlights the many differences that clothing can express.

Book excerpt: The year 2004 is proving to be one of radical change in the European Union. The economic, political and cultural integration of ten new countries will inevitably alter Europe's cultural structure, particularly now that the long political and economic separation between East and West no longer prevents the flow of information. This is particularly true of today's cultural scene: on the one hand, there is a nearly universal language fostering communication between countries and continents; on the other, the profoundly dissimilar experiences of Europeans reflect their different historical, cultural and intellectual backgrounds. Passage Europe at the Mus, e d'Art Moderne in Saint-Etienne M, tropole will broach these issues by presenting a selection of work by young contemporary artists from the new members of the European Union. The theme is the present situation in these countries, and who shares in forming today's artistic concepts, alongside a selection of the great historic masters influential in p

Download or read book L Europe l poque moderne written by Jean-Pierre Bois and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Europe moderne renonçant à la vieille idée de monarchie universelle, pontificale ou impériale, naît au temps des fractures religieuses, politiques et militaires qui accompagnent l'apparition des monarchies nationales. La réflexion sur l'idée d'Europe est alors renvoyée à l'abstraction. Mais si, du modèle utopique de Thomas More au projet de paix perpétuelle de l'abbé de Saint Pierre, les chimères ne manquent pas - Sully ou Henri IV, Eméric Crucé, Comenius, Leibniz ou William Penn -, elles posent déjà la vraie question du fédéralisme et des institutions supranationales. En même temps, se développent une pensée juridique issue de Grotius et l'aspiration cosmopolite à une fraternité universelle. Non sans pragmatisme, une diplomatie de plus en plus structurée et active impose, au gré des congrès qui, à partir de 1648, rythment les grandes guerres européennes, une forme d'accord entre puissances, première ébauche d'une Europe qui récuse l'unité par la conquête tentée par la France révolutionnaire, puis impériale, au profit d'une entente négociée dont les institutions restent encore à mettre en œuvre en 1815.

Download or read book Dynastic Identity in Early Modern Europe written by Liesbeth Geevers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristocratic dynasties have long been regarded as fundamental to the development of early modern society and government. Yet recent work by political historians has increasingly questioned the dominant role of ruling families in state formation, underlining instead the continued importance and independence of individuals. In order to take a fresh look at the subject, this volume provides a broad discussion on the formation of dynastic identities in relationship to the lineage’s own history, other families within the social elite, and the ruling dynasty. Individual chapters consider the dynastic identity of a wide range of European aristocratic families including the CroÃs, Arenbergs and Nassaus from the Netherlands; the Guises-Lorraine of France; the Sandoval-Lerma in Spain; the Farnese in Italy; together with other lineages from Ireland, Sweden and the Austrian Habsburg monarchy. Tied in with this broad international focus, the volume addressed a variety of related themes, including the expression of ambitions and aspirations through family history; the social and cultural means employed to enhance status; the legal, religious and political attitude toward sovereigns; the role of women in the formation and reproduction of (composite) dynastic identities; and the transition of aristocratic dynasties to royal dynasties. In so doing the collection provides a platform for looking again at dynastic identity in early modern Europe, and reveals how it was a compound of political, religious, social, cultural, historical and individual attitudes.
Download or read book Errors False Opinions and Defective Knowledge in Early Modern Europe written by Marco Faini and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a series of insights into the fascinating topic of errors and false opinions in early modern Europe. It explores the semantic richness of the category of ‘error’ in a time when such category becomes crucial to European thought and culture. During decades of increasing normativity in the social and religious sphere as well as in the epistemological status of disciplines, recognizing and correcting error becomes an imperative task whose importance can hardly be overestimated. The efforts at establishing religious, political, and scientific orthodoxy led philosophers, doctors, philologist, scientist, and theologians, to reconsider the very foundations of knowledge in the attempt to dispel errors. Spanning geographically from Italy to France, England, and Germany, the articles here gathered provide stimulating glimpses into one of the most fascinating, multifaceted, and controversial aspects of early modern culture.
Download or read book Ideology and Foreign Policy in Early Modern Europe 1650 1750 written by Gijs Rommelse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years 1650 to 1750 - sandwiched between an age of 'wars of religion' and an age of 'revolutionary wars' - have often been characterized as a 'de-ideologized' period. However, the essays in this collection contend that this is a mistaken assumption. For whilst international relations during this time may lack the obvious polarization between Catholic and Protestant visible in the proceeding hundred years, or the highly charged contest between monarchies and republics of the late eighteenth century, it is forcibly argued that ideology had a fundamental part to play in this crucial transformative stage of European history. Many early modernists have paid little attention to international relations theory, often taking a 'Realist' approach that emphasizes the anarchism, materialism and power-political nature of international relations. In contrast, this volume provides alternative perspectives, viewing international relations as socially constructed and influenced by ideas, ideology and identities. Building on such theoretical developments, allows international relations after 1648 to be fundamentally reconsidered, by putting political and economic ideology firmly back into the picture. By engaging with, and building upon, recent theoretical developments, this collection treads new terrain. Not only does it integrate cultural history with high politics and foreign policy, it also engages directly with themes discussed by political scientists and international relations theorists. As such it offers a fresh, and genuinely interdisciplinary approach to this complex and fundamental period in Europe's development.
