Abstract

Les femmes de la Renaissance florentine régnaient-elles sur la ville, comme tant d'images du Quattrocento et d'historiens depuis le siècle l'ont suggéré ? Cette vision idéalisée est-elle confirmée par la documentation historique touchant aux rapports de genre et à la vie familiale ? En Toscane, dans la pratique, les femmes ne sont pas encouragées par le droit et la coutume à investir ou à gérer de façon autonome leurs affaires. La tradition confine les femmes dans la sphère domestique. Même les missions qui sont le plus volontiers abandonnées aux mères, l'éducation des tout-petits par exemple, tombent sous le feu de la critique des clercs. Christiane Klapisch-Zuber suit le fil de la vie des Florentines avant, pendant et après leur mariage. En étudiant les représentations mentales et figurées, elle éclaire les multiples facettes de la domination masculine dans une société renaissante où l'écriture et la culture sont largement partagées par les maris, mais encore fort peu par leurs soeurs et leurs épouses. L'historienne nous conduit ainsi, au-delà des témoignages et des images de l'époque qui sont presque toujours produits par des hommes, au plus près de la vie des femmes et de la manière dont elles ont vécu, entre exclusion et intégration

Abstract

Medieval tombs often depict husband and wife lying side-by-side, and hand in hand, immortalised in elegantly carved stone: what Phiilip Larkin's poem An Arundel Tomb later described as their 'stone fidelity'. This first full account of the 'double tomb' places its rich tradition into dialogue with powerful discourses of gender, marriage, politics and emotion during the Middle Ages. As well as offering new interpretations of some of the most famous medieval tombs, such as those found in Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral, it draws attention to a host of lesser-known memorials from throughout Europe, providing an innovative vantage point from which to reconsider the material culture of medieval marriage.

Abstract

Inquiries into marital patterns can serve as an effective lens to analyze social structures and material cultures not only on the question of sexuality, but also on the nature of a private citizen’s engagement with state and law. Through ethnographic research in courtrooms, community,and kinship spaces, the author outlines the transformations in material culture and political economy that have led to renewed negotiations on the institution of marriage in North India, especially in legal spaces. Tracing organically evolving notions of sexual consent and legal subjectivity, Courting Desire underlines how non-normative decisions regarding marriage become possible in a region otherwise known for high instances of honor killings and rigid kinship structures. Aspirations for consensual relationships have led to a tentative attempt to forge relationships that are non-normative but grudgingly approved after state intervention. The book traces this nascent and under-explored trend in the North Indian landscape.
