The People's Revolution of 1789
The People's Revolution of 1789 analyzes the historic events that unleashed a vast panoply of anarchic, destructive, and creative disorders that demolished France's Old Regime and founded a new revolutionary order. It captures the complex and dynamic interplay of uprisings, elections, meetings, and revolutionary moments that helped create modern freedom. The People's Revolution of 1789 is the first book to chronicle the Parisian, provincial, and colonial movements of 1789 together. In doing so, Micah Alpaugh builds from hundreds of local and regional studies and sources on the French Revolution to provide a new interpretation of the powerful contestations that created the modern revolutionar...
Histoire de la carte d'identité nationale
Quand est apparue la carte d’identité ? Quelles logiques ont présidé à sa création et à ses évolutions ? Quels furent depuis le xixe siècle les réactions, les débats et les multiples formes de résistance face aux entreprises d’encartement envisagées ou conduites par les pouvoirs publics ? Pierre Piazza, s’appuyant sur de nombreuses sources inédites, cerne, dans une perspective historique, les enjeux qui ont accompagné l’instauration de ce document aussi familier qu’essentiel et sa progressive généralisation en France. L’analyse accorde notamment une large place à la période 1940-1944 et révèle des aspects méconnus et troublants du régime de Vichy. Un regard inédit pour mieux comprendre nombre de problématiques au cœur des débats sur la citoyenneté, la sécurité. Pierre Piazza est docteur en science politique et chargé de recherche à l’Institut des hautes études de la sécurité intérieure.
The Measure of All Things
The story of the creation of the metric system in 1792 traces the endeavors of Delambre and Méchain, the backlash of superstitious contemporaries, and the mistake that drove Méchain to the brink of madness.
Maps and Colours
Colours make the map: they affect the map’s materiality, content, and handling. With a wide range of approaches, 14 case studies from various disciplines deal with the colouring of maps from different geographical regions and periods. Connected by their focus on the (hand)colouring of the examined maps, the authors demonstrate the potential of the study of colour to enhance our understanding of the material nature and production of maps and the historical, social, geographical and political context in which they were made. Contributors are: Diana Lange, Benjamin van der Linde, Jörn Seemann, Tomasz Panecki, Chet Van Duzer, Marian Coman, Anne Christine Lien, Juliette Dumasy-Rabineau, Nadja Danilenko, Sang-hoon Jang, Anna Boroffka, Stephanie Zehnle, Haida Liang, Sotiria Kogou, Luke Butler, Elke Papelitzky, Richard Pegg, Lucia Pereira Pardo, Neil Johnston, Rose Mitchell, and Annaleigh Margey.
Lies of the Land
Lies of the Land examines the often-overlooked artistic roots of mapmaking practice in early modern France, offering an original perspective on discourses of accuracy and their relationship to the pictorial origins of modern mapmaking. Until the seventeenth century, most mapmakers in France were painters. Schooled in techniques of drawing and perspective—and in the careful study of nature that we associate with early modernity—they also learned the more expressive and imaginative Mannerist forms that dominated French painting in this period. Their maps draw on conventions of both painting and mapmaking to create beautiful, informative, and persuasive images for a wide variety of contexts...
