Book Synopsis Women Moralists in Early Modern France by : Julie Candler Hayes
Download or read book Women Moralists in Early Modern France written by Julie Candler Hayes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern women writers left their mark in multiple domains--novels, translations, letters, history, and science. Although recent scholarship in literary and cultural studies has enriched our understanding of these accomplishments, less attention has been paid to other forms of women's writing. Women Moralists in Early Modern France explores the contributions of seventeenth and eighteenth-century French women philosophers and intellectuals to moralist writing, the observation of human motives and behavior. This distinctively French genre draws on philosophical and literary traditions extending back to classical antiquity. Moralist short forms such as the maxim, dialogue, character portrait, and essay engage social and political questions, epistemology, moral psychology, and virtue ethics. Although moralist writing was closely associated with the salon culture in which women played a major role, women's contributions to the genre have received scant scholarly attention. Julie Candler Hayes examines major moralist writers such as Madeleine de Scud?ry, Anne-Th?r?se de Lambert, ?milie Du Ch?telet, and Germaine de Sta?l, as well as nearly two dozen of their contemporaries. Their reflections range from traditional topics such as the nature of the self, friendship, happiness, and old age, to issues that were very much part of their own lifeworld, such as the institution of marriage and women's nature and capabilities. Each chapter traces the evolution of women's moralist thought on a given topic from the late seventeenth century to the Enlightenment and the decades immediately following the French Revolution, a period of tremendous change in the horizon of possibilities for women as public figures and intellectuals. Hayes demonstrates how, through their critique of institutions and practices, their valorization of introspection and self-expression, and their engagement with philosophical issues, women moralists carved out an important space for the public exercise of their reason.
Book Synopsis Writing Herself into Being by : Patricia Smart
Download or read book Writing Herself into Being written by Patricia Smart and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER - Prix du livre d’Ottawa 2016 WINNER - Prix Jean-Éthier-Blais 2015 WINNER - Prix Gabrielle-Roy 2014 FINALIST - Prix littéraire Trillium 2015 From the founding of New France to the present day, Quebec women have had to negotiate societal expectations placed on their gender. Tracing the evolution of life writing by Quebec women, Patricia Smart presents a feminist analysis of women’s struggles for autonomy and agency in a society that has continually emphasized the traditional roles of wife and mother. Writing Herself into Being examines published autobiographies and autobiographical fiction, as well as the annals of religious communities, letters, and a number of published and unpublished diaries by girls and women, to reveal a greater range of women’s experiences than proscribed, generalized roles. Through close readings of these texts Smart uncovers the authors’ perspectives on events such as the 1837 Rebellion, the Montreal cholera epidemic of 1848, convent school education, the struggle for women’s rights in the early twentieth century, and the Quiet Revolution. Drawing attention to the individuality of each writer while situating her within the social and ideological context of her era, this book further explores the ways women and girls reacted to, and often rebelled against, the constraints imposed on them by both Church and state. Written in a clear and compelling narrative style that brings women’s voices to life, Writing Herself into Being – the author’s own translation of her award-winning French-language book De Marie de l’Incarnation à Nelly Arcan: Se dire, se faire par l’écriture intime (Boréal, 2014) – offers a new and gendered view of various periods in Quebec history.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À la frontière entre l’être et le monde, entre une société qui édicte des lois écrites ou implicites et un individu qui les interprète en fonction du temps et du contexte de leur mise en œuvre, l’intime repose sur des codes partagés dont l’interprétation est chaque fois singulière. L’opposition entre espace public et privé ne suffit pas à définir la sphère de l’intime, puisque selon l’âge, le sexe, l’éducation, et plus globalement la culture à laquelle on appartient, les limites tracées varient amplement selon des codes souvent perçus comme des évidences pour les membres d’une communauté donnée. Personnel dans ce qu’il y a de plus profond pour l’être, l’intime s’apparente à un domaine individuel que chacun ouvre à l’autre par degrés. Dans Regards sur l’intime en Irlande, les analyses portent sur la tension entre les masques constitutifs de l’intimité et l’exposition de l’intime, sa négation ou son questionnement dans diverses composantes de la vie irlandaise. Il s’agit non seulement d’interroger l’intime en Irlande, mais aussi d’évaluer comment les intimités irlandaises se sont exprimées, tant dans le domaine des arts que dans la sphère sociale où s’est posée de façon parfois très aiguë la question des frontières de l’intime.

Book Synopsis Early Modern Fire by : Gianenrico Bernasconi
Download or read book Early Modern Fire written by Gianenrico Bernasconi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-11-20 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Modern Fire offers new perspectives on the history of fire in early modern Europe (ca. 1600–1800). Far from the background role that scholarship has traditionally assigned to fire, the essays in this volume demonstrate its centrality to understanding the entangled histories of science, technology, and society in the pre-industrial period. Analysing case studies ranging from alchemy to cooking and from firefighting to fireworks, the contributors show that the history of fire is not only one of change and progress, but also of continuity, characterised by the persistence of traditional know-how, small-scale innovation, and the coexistence of different paradigms. Contributors: Gianenrico Bernasconi, Catherine Denys, Hannah Elmer, Liliane Hilaire-Pérez, Olivier Jandot, Cyril Lacheze, Andrew M.A. Morris, Cornelia Müller, Bérengère Pinaud, Stefano Salvia, Marco Storni, Marie Thébaud-Sorger, and Simon Werrett.
Book Synopsis The Eighteenth Century Now by : G. J. Mallinson
Download or read book The Eighteenth Century Now written by G. J. Mallinson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of SVEC, this collection of essays examines the current state of eighteenth-century French studies; it revisits a familiar canon, investigates more recently discovered fields of enquiry, and explores new perspectives for research. Eighteenth-century studies today are characterised above all by their re-examination of categories and boundaries. We are witnessing a progressive broadening of the canon, not least in our rediscovery of women's writing, and a reinvestigation of apparently 'minor' works by apparently 'familiar' authors. There has been path-breaking research, too, in areas which reflect our broadening conception of eighteenth-century studies, from literature of travel to post-colonial writing, translation to the press, popular literature to clandestine manuscripts. Different perspectives on eighteenth-century writing have been opened up by new ways of reading which draw on research in cultural studies, history of the book or rhetorical analysis. New insights have emerged from studying the interaction of text and image, word and music, the points of contact between the worlds of science and the arts, of politics, philosophy and literature, exchanges across national and linguistic boundaries, or across the artificial divisions of 'one' century. Inclusive, interdisciplinary and international, this volume embodies the principles which inspired the creation of SVEC by Theodore Besterman in 1955; it investigates our changing images of writers and writing to the categories in which we may try to confine them, from 'Voltaire' to the 'eighteenth century'. The Eighteenth century now suggests our sense of identification with the period, the vibrancy of present research in both individual and collaborative projects, and the promise of immediacy and exchange in the electronic age. But it also evokes the boundaries which remain, financial, institutional, intellectual, and which present the challenge of the future. Its aim is as much to provoke thought as to provide answers, to stimulate as well as to celebrate.
Book Synopsis A History of Everyday Things by : Daniel Roche
Download or read book A History of Everyday Things written by Daniel Roche and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-03-09 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things which we regard as the everyday objects of consumption (and hence re-purchase), and essential to any decent, civilised lifestyle, have not always been so: in former times, everyday objects would have passed from one generation to another, without anyone dreaming of acquiring new ones. How, therefore, have people in the modern world become 'prisoners of objects', as Rousseau put it? The celebrated French cultural historian Daniel Roche answers this fundamental question using insights from economics, politics, demography and geography, as well as his own extensive historical knowledge. Professor Roche places familiar objects and commodities - houses, clothes, water - in their wider historical and anthropological contexts, and explores the origins of some of the daily furnishings of modern life. A History of Everyday Things is a pioneering essay that sheds light on the origins of the consumer society and its social and political repercussions, and thereby the birth of the modern world.

Book Synopsis L'invention et la représentation des races au XVIIIe siècle by : Isabelle Baudino
Download or read book L'invention et la représentation des races au XVIIIe siècle written by Isabelle Baudino and published by PU Bordeaux. This book was released on 2010 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etudier la représentation des races dans l'Europe des Lumières, c'est se confronter à des discours complexes et parfois contradictoires. Si l'on trouve des références à des sources antérieures ou postérieures au siècle des Lumières proprement dit dans les études présentées ici, toutes sont centrées sur un " long dix-huitième siècle " au cours duquel l'emploi du terme " races " au pluriel, comme synonyme des " variétés " humaines, fut débattu avant de laisser peu à peu la place à un usage singulier. Les représentations textuelles et iconographiques analysées montrent que dans le cadre d'une conception largement monogéniste, ancrée dans une vision chrétienne, des tendances polygénistes émergent sans être formalisées en système. Ce volume se situe à l'articulation de plusieurs disciplines puisqu'il rassemble des articles de spécialistes français et britanniques d'anthropologie, de philosophie, d'histoire et d'histoire de l'art afin d'interroger le pouvoir des représentations matérielles et mentales sur la " fabrique symbolique de l'humain ".
