French Royal Women during the Restoration and July Monarchy
This book examines public discussions around France's four most prominent royal women during the first and second Restoration and July Monarchy: the duchesse d’Angoulême, the duchesse de Berry, Queen of the French Marie-Amélie, and Adélaïde d’Orléans. These were the most powerful women of the last decades of the French monarchy, but the new roles women were assigned in post-revolutionary France did not permit them to openly exercise political influence. This book explores continuities and variations in narratives of royal legitimacy, and how historians, authors, and politicians used national history - particularly medieval and early modern history - to either legitimize or undermine the French monarchy, and to define women's social and political roles.
Royalism, War and Popular Politics in the Age of Revolutions, 1780s-1870s
This book offers a ground-breaking approach to royalism and popular politics in Europe and the Americas during the Age of Revolutions. It shows how royalist and counterrevolutionary movements did not propose a mere return to the past, but rather introduced an innovative way of addressing the demands and expectations of various social groups. Ordinary people were involved in the war and adapted the traditional imaginary of the monarchy to craft new models of political participation. This edited collection brings together scholars from France, Spain, Norway, and Mexico, to provide a transatlantic comparative perspective. It is a must-read for scholars and students looking to discover the lesser-known side of the Age of Revolutions, and the motivations of those who fought in the name of the king.
Priests of the French Revolution
The 115,000 priests on French territory in 1789 belonged to an evolving tradition of priesthood. The challenge of making sense of the Christian tradition can be formidable in any era, but this was especially true for those priests required at the very beginning of 1791 to take an oath of loyalty to the new government—and thereby accept the religious reforms promoted in a new Civil Constitution of the Clergy. More than half did so at the beginning, and those who were subsequently consecrated bishops became the new official hierarchy of France. In Priests of the French Revolution, Joseph Byrnes shows how these priests and bishops who embraced the Revolution creatively followed or destructively rejected traditional versions of priestly ministry. Their writings, public testimony, and recorded private confidences furnish the story of a national Catholic church. This is a history of the religious attitudes and psychological experiences underpinning the behavior of representative bishops and priests. Byrnes plays individual ideologies against group action, and religious teachings against political action, to produce a balanced story of saints and renegades within a Catholic tradition.
Patriot and Priest
In 1790, the French revolutionary government reformed the Catholic Church and demanded that clerics swear an oath of allegiance to the nation and its vision for French Catholicism. Although half of France's parish clergy refused to accept the state-sponsored reforms, others became embroiled in this decade-long ecclesiastical experiment. This included Jean-Baptiste Volfius, a patriot, priest, and professor who embraced the changes in France and believed in the revolution's potential to create a purer church. Patriot and Priest presents a social and intellectual history of the French constitutional church in the Côte-d'Or and the career of Volfius, who became its bishop in 1791, as he struggl...
Une secte janséniste convulsionnaire sous la Révolution française
Cet ouvrage propose une approche du phénomène convulsionnaire janséniste en suivant l'histoire d'une secte particulière, celle des "Fareinistes", depuis ses débuts dans l'Ain autour des années 1780, jusqu'à son enracinement à Paris autour d'une prophétesse convulsionnaire, la "soeur Elisée". Les faits et leur contexte historique (entre jansénisme rural et urbain, Révolution française, millénarisme et prophétisme) sont précisément décrits. Un questionnement parcourt l'ouvrage : comment expliquer ces « délires » religieux ? L'approche anthropologique et sociologique, privilégiant les faits de culture et d'histoire, est confrontée avec les théories psychiatriques.
Les langages du corps dans la bande dessinée
Quel mystère cadence les gestes et expressions des personnages de bande dessinée ? Comment une simple série d'images, fixes et bidimensionnelles, peut-elle prêter chair à des corps si dynamiques qu'ils semblent se mouvoir sur la page et que l'on pourrait presque sentir, entendre, toucher ? A travers deux entretiens avec deux grands auteurs de BD, Frédéric Boilet et Lorenzo Mattotti, et douze contributions universitaires, cet ouvrage, invite sous l'angle de l'interdisciplinarité, à l'exploration de ces corps dessinés aux multiples langages.
La Crise Concordataire
Longtemps larvé, l'antagonisme entre le Saint-Siège et l'État français se mua, à partir de 1808, en un duel féroce scandé d'épisodes dramatiques comme l'excommunication de Napoléon ou l'enlèvement de Pie VII. Les contributions réunies dans ce livre s'attachent notamment à interroger la manière dont ces évènements ont été vécus par les catholiques de l'Empire. Quelles motivations ont inspiré leur soumission ou leur résistance ? Quels liens peut-on établir avec les oppositions politiques à Napoléon ? Comment cette crise a nourri les controverses internes au catholicisme ?
