An Open Access edition of this book will be available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library.Since its invention, the automobile has been systematically 'consumed', to become part of the fabric of twentieth- and twenty-first-century society, its impact and perception making the car an accurate gauge of changing cultural norms and values. As it grew in popularity, the automobile conditioned the very texture of modern life, and the particularly car-centred society of contemporary France is an especially apt locus for examination. The ubiquity of the automobile across all social strata provides us with a defined lens through which to examine the evolution of French society in the modern and post-modern eras. Taking the Second World War as a pivotal moment in recent French history, this book demonstrates how the automobile was both consumed and fetishized in distinct ways before and after this conflict. The ways in which society evolved from the pre- to the post-war period allow us to view French culture through the prism of the automobile as it embodied technological and social progress in twentieth-century France. The present volume seeks to explore and interrogate the processes of representation and mediation inherent in the evolving patterns of automobile consumption, and their subsequent impacts on local and national identity, framed by a detailed case study centred on France from the late-nineteenth century to the oil crisis of the early 1970s.

Throughout this book, the concept of framing is used to look at art, photography, scientific drawings and cinema as visually constituted, spatially bounded productions. The way these genres relate to that which exists beyond the frame, by means of plastic, chemically transposed, pencil-sketched or moving images allows us to decipher the particular language of the visual and at the same time circumscribe the dialectic between presence and absence that is proper to all visual media. Yet, these kinds of re-framing owe their existence to the ruptures and upheavals that marked the demise of certain discursive systems in the past, announcing the emergence of others that were in turn overturned.

Après une longue période de troubles des guerres de religion, le renouveau des arts se manifesta de façon particulièrement éclatante sous le règne d'Henri IV, dans tous les domaines : peinture, sculpture, architecture, mais aussi l'art des jardins, les arts de cour, notamment les ballets et les entrées. Ce fut aussi le cas de l'art du livre, encore trop peu étudié aujourd'hui. Ce livre expose l'ampleur de ce renouveau et en montre les multiples aspects. Afin de cerner les transformations et les nouvelles configurations artistiques de cette période, les pratiques artistiques sont replacées dans leur contexte historique, politique et culturel. L'ouvrage pose les enjeux épistémologiques entre pouvoir (élaboration et diffusion par l'image de la figure du « bon roi », tolérant et unificateur du royaume) et art (art de cour, art sacré, dans une époque de troubles religieux…). Enfin, dans une volonté d'inscrire la production artistique française dans un cadre plus large, ce livre explore les liens qui unissent la France d'Henri IV et de Marie de Médicis aux grands centres artistiques européens (Florence, Nancy, Anvers).
