Abstract

This study examines Calvin's belief that he was a prophet 'placed over nations and kingdoms to tear down and destroy, to build and to plant'. With this authority, Calvin pursued an expansionist agenda which blended religious, political, and social aspects towards the goal of a Protestant France.

Abstract

"Burke's Reflections has long been seen as an epitomic text, supposedly articulating an - indeed the first - theoretical defence of 'modern conservatism'. In keeping with the philosophy of the Series, this edition seeks to place it in the intellectual contexts in which its author conceived and wrote it, whilst also indicating those in which it came to be read. Alongside Reflections - Burke's early response to the Revolution - is included one of his last, the first Letter on a Regicide Peace, a work that reveals the development of his thought during the course of the Revolution and one that has helped to shape a particular view of international society"-- "Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France was the first sustained theoretical critique of the French Revolution; and is now recognised as the classic statement of modern conservatism. Reflections surveys the British political culture of traditionalism, gradualism and deference, and contrasts it with the French Revolutionaries' programme of appeal to abstract right, transformational change and popular agency. Ultimately Burke advocated a counterrevolutionary war and the restoration of the French monarchy. This accessible new edition brings together for the first time Burke's first and last published thoughts on the revolution including as it does the first Letter on a Regicide Peace; a work that has contributed to a particular view of international society. Featuring a comprehensive introduction and extensive annotations, Iain Hampsher-Monk's edition helps readers new to Burke to better understand the historical, political and philosophical context behind his writings, and the significance of contemporary and classical allusions"--

Abstract

Louis Mandrin led a gang of bandits who brazenly smuggled contraband into eighteenth-century France. Michael Kwass brings new life to the legend of this Gallic Robin Hood and the thriving underworld he helped to create. Decades before the storming of the Bastille, surging world trade excited a revolution in consumption that transformed the French kingdom. Contraband exposes the dark side of this early phase of globalization, revealing hidden connections between illicit commerce, criminality, and popular revolt. France's economic system was tailor-made for an enterprising outlaw like Mandrin. As French subjects began to crave colonial products, Louis XIV lined the royal coffers by imposing a state monopoly on tobacco from America and an embargo on brilliantly colored calico cloth from India. Vigorous black markets arose through which traffickers fed these exotic goods to eager French consumers. Flouting the law with unparalleled panache, Mandrin captured widespread public attention to become a symbol of a defiant underground. This furtive economy generated violent clashes between gangs of smugglers and customs agents in the borderlands. Eventually, Mandrin was captured by French troops and put to death in a brutal public execution intended to demonstrate the king's absolute authority. But the spectacle only cemented Mandrin's status as a rebel folk hero in an age of mounting discontent. Amid cycles of underground rebellion and agonizing penal repression, the memory of Mandrin inspired ordinary subjects and Enlightenment philosophers alike to challenge royal power and forge a movement for radical political change.

Abstract

Dans ce nouveau millénaire, le champ littéraire en France continue à nous offrir des écrivains et des écrivaines étincelant(e)s, qui ne craignent pas de provoquer et de prendre des risques littéraires et philosophiques. Plus que jamais, les écrivaines, qui ont longtemps lutté pour être reconnues comme artistes et penseuses égales aux hommes, se trouvent au premier plan des expérimentations littéraires contemporaines. Aventures et expériences littéraires identifie et explore les mouvements clés de l’écriture des femmes au cours de la première décennie du vingt-et-unième siècle, regardant en arrière afin de remarquer l’évolution des thèmes féminins et féministes précédents, et s’ouvrant à de nouveaux horizons et à « l’encore à venir ». Les aventures et expériences des femmes sont explorées ainsi que les parcours littéraires suivis par des écrivaines reconnues telles que Christine Angot, Nina Bouraoui, Virginie Despentes, Régine Detambel, Annie Ernaux et Marie NDiaye au côté de nouvelles voix comme Gwenaëlle Aubry, Chloé Delaume ou Sumana Sinha.

Abstract

Focusing on the writing of John Thelwall, Thomas Paine, Helen Maria Williams, William Godwin, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and William Wordsworth, Georgina Green examines how theories about the role of the intellectual or the writer were developed as part of the 1790s' contestation of the concept of the majesty of the people.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'une coopération très fructueuse entre le département de sociologie de l'Université de Pékin et le CNRS, mise en place dans le cadre du Programme International de Coopération Scientifique (PICS) de l'INSHS du CNRS de 2008 à 2011 (Nouvelles frontières des sociologies économiques chinoise et française : un état des lieux), co-dirigé par les professeurs Laurence Roulleau-Berger et Liu Shiding. Dans cet ouvrage, sociologues français et chinois croisent leurs regards sur différents objets de recherche dans le champ de la sociologie économique internationale. Il s'agit du premier ouvrage académique sur la confrontation entre sociologie économique chinoise - déjà largement méconnue dans le monde - et sociologie économique française. Il ouvre des perspectives théoriques et méthodologiques qui renouvellent nos façons de construire des objets de recherche liés au travail, à l'emploi, aux systèmes productifs, à l'innovation économique, aux migrations économiques ... In this volume, French and Chinese sociologists share specific interests and, for the first time, confront their perspectives on different objects of research: local government, social networks and intermediate regulation; phenomena of domination and resistance in labour markets; gender and labour; markets, values and conventions; trust, economic exchange and social interaction; innovation and productive networks. Although, initially, American influences played a major role in their construction, the new French and Chinese economic sociologies have progressively attained autonomy and elaborated situated knowledge. In both China and France, the boundaries of economic sociology have been traced according to specific scientific trajectories, a diversity of positions and terrain-based science. They define "specific" and "shared" theoretical and methodological spaces. As the product of pioneering academic research, this work offers an innovative intersecting approach to French and Chinese ..
