Abstract

Did sexual abnormality set the stage for the end of France's presumed "natural" domination of Algeria? The Algerian revolution for independence coincided with the sexual revolution in France, and in this book Todd Shepard argues that these two movements are inextricably linked.Sex, France, and Arab Men is a history of how and why from the upheavals of French Algeria in 1962 through the 1970s highly sexualized claims about Arabs were omnipresent in important public French discussions, both those that dealt with sex and those that spoke of Arabs. Shepard explores how the so-called sexual revolution took shape in a France profoundly influenced by the ongoing effects of the Algerian revolution. Shepard's analysis of both events alongside one another provides a frame that renders visible the ways that the fight for sexual liberation, usually explained as an American and European invention, developed out of the worldwide anticolonial movement of the mid-twentieth century.

Abstract

Qu'est-ce que l'œuvre d'art ? Peut-on impunément l'arracher à son milieu géographique et historique, esthétique, sociologique ? En s'élevant dans ses Lettres à Miranda (1796) contre la politique de spoliation voulue par le Directoire et menée à bien par Bonaparte en Italie, Quatremère de Quincy prend parti dans une querelle nationale. D'un côté ceux qui veulent prélever dans toute l'Europe et ramener de force à Paris les plus grands chefs-d'œuvre pour faire de la capitale révolutionnaire l'héritière d'Athènes et de Rome ; de l'autre ceux pour qui l'œuvre ne prend sens que du contexte où elle se déploie. Pour Quatremère, « diviser c'est détruire », et Rome est un « grand livre » dont il importe de tenir ensemble toutes les pages. « Le pays est lui-même le muséum », écrit-il, faisant du lieu et non plus de l'objet l'unité indivise de l'art. Ce texte expose avec conviction une vision européenne de la culture, en même temps qu'il développe une « théorie du contexte » qui contredit aux conceptions biographiques héritées de Vasari. Dans une introduction détaillée, Édouard Pommier analyse les différentes péripéties d'une polémique de grande ampleur où, de proche en proche, c'est toute la question du patrimoine qui est posée. Emmanuel Alloa, quant à lui, poursuit la réflexion sur le déplacement des œuvres d'art, qu'il replace dans le contexte contemporain. Théoricien prolifique du néoclassicisme, Quatremère de Quincy (1755-1849) est notamment l'auteur des Considérations sur les arts du dessin, d'un Dictionnaire de l'architecture et d'un Canova.

Abstract

The naval leader has taken centre stage in traditional naval histories. However, while the historical narrative has been fairly consistent the development of various navies has been accompanied by assumptions, challenges and competing visions of the social characteristics of naval leaders and of their function. Whilst leadership has been a constant theme in historical studies, it has not been scrutinised as a phenomenon in its own right. This book examines the critical period in Europe between 1700 -1850, when political, economic and cultural shifts were bringing about a new understanding of the individual and of society. Bringing together context with a focus on naval leadership as a phenomenon is at the heart of this book, a unique collaborative venture between British, French and Spanish scholars. As globalisation develops in the twenty-first century the significance of navies looks set to increase. This volume of essays aims to place naval leadership in its historical context.
