Download or read book Veiled Encounters written by Michael Harrigan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel narratives were the principal source of knowledge about the lands of the Near East and the Indian Ocean Basin in 17th-century France. Claiming the authority of first-hand observation, they paradoxically rely for their legitimization on the tropes of an established literary tradition. The status of these texts remained ambiguous, not least because of their anecdotal depictions of great riches, brutality or sexual promise. Drawing on the insights of post-colonial scholarship, this study tackles a question given scant attention in previous work and suggests that beyond the hazy representation of the Orient, an opposition emerges between the threatening Near East and the indolent East Indies. Distinguishing recognizable representations from those generated by new encounters, this book questions the feasibility of cultural representation through travel, exploring a large corpus of original sources written by French ecclesiastics, gentlemen-travellers, ambassadors and adventurers. Linguistic, religious, cultural or geographical barriers meant most travellers remained distanced from the peoples about whom they would simultaneously become authoritative. The encounter was further transformed in narratives that were intended to entertain and to satisfy the criterion of curiosité. The ‘Oriental’ that emerges is a supremely variable entity, alternately naked or veiled, barbaric or civilized, menacing or attractive.

Download or read book Orientalism in Early Modern France written by Ina Baghdiantz McCabe and published by Berg. This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis I's ties with the Ottoman Empire marked the birth of court-sponsored Orientalism in France. Under Louis XIV, French society was transformed by cross-cultural contacts with the Ottomans, India, Persia, China, Siam and the Americas. The consumption of silk, cotton cloth, spices, coffee, tea, china, gems, flowers and other luxury goods transformed daily life and gave rise to a new discourse about the 'Orient' which in turn shaped ideas about economy and politics, specifically absolutism and the monarchy. An original account of the ancient regime, this book highlights France's use of the exotic and analyzes French discourse about Islam and the 'Orient'.

Book excerpt: Quelque part dans la foret de l'Arriere-pays se trouverait un labyrinthe. Lieu de tous les reves, de tous les dangers et de toutes les chimeres, personne ne sait s'il existe. Le labyrinthe sert de pretexte pour fertiliser l'imagination et les reves, influer sur les arts. Tombe dans l'inconscient, on lui preterait une forme de pensee, la puissance d'une deite. Personne ne l'a traverse sans perdre la vie; mais des rumeurs tenaces courent. Un homme, Camelot, en aurait decouvert l'entree et l'aurait explore pour devenir ce presque-vagabond qui vend des colifichets merveilleux, puis disparait pendant des mois avant de revenir, des lueurs pleins les yeux. Dans ce recit plurivoque ou meandres labyrinthiques et meandres de la pensee se font echo, l'auteur nous livre un texte essentiel sur l'acte de creation, ses consequences et les sacrifices qu'il demande.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of the Laws not only systematizes the foundational ideas of “separation of powers” and “balances and checks,” it provides the decisive response to the question of whether power in the nation-state can be limited in the aftermath of the Westphalian settlement of 1648. It describes a civilizational change through which power becomes domesticated, with built-in resistance to attempts to absolutize (or make total) political power. As such, it is the Bible of modern politics, now made more accessible to English readers than it ever has been.
