Revisiter la querelle des femmes
La 4e de couv. indique : "Venant après deux autres, consacrés aux périodes 1750-1810 et 1600-1750, ce recueil poursuit l’exploration de l’ample controverse qui, durant plusieurs siècles, agita la France (et au-delà d’elle une bonne partie de l’Europe) à propos de la place et du rôle des femmes dans la société. Il remonte aux premiers temps de cette polémique, dont la « querelle du Roman de la Rose » entre Christine de Pizan et de grands intellectuels parisiens constitua le premier épisode retentissant, pour se clore sous le règne d’Henri IV, monté sur le trône après dix ans de guerre civile et de débats incessants sur la « loi salique » – prétendue règle d...
Femmes, pouvoir et nation en Écosse
Les Écossaises jouèrent un rôle essentiel dans la construction de leur nation, rôle que l'historiographie nationale a le plus souvent minimisé ou tout simplement occulté. En mobilisant deux champs historiographiques, l'histoire de l'Écosse d'une part et celle des femmes d’autre part, les auteurs du présent ouvrage ont comme ambition de participer à l'écriture d'un passé écossais au féminin et, ce faisant, de réhabiliter ces oubliées de l'histoire. Le premier chapitre de cet ouvrage aborde la question de l’exclusion des femmes du discours sur le nationalisme en étudiant tout d’abord les thèses de la pensée politique écossaise en matière d’exclusion des femmes de la...
Revisiter la querelle des femmes
Dernier des quatre volumes consacrés à la gigantesque polémique qui agita la France durant de longs siècles sur la place et le rôle des femmes dans la société, ce recueil d’articles se concentre sur les développements de cette controverse en Europe. Il mesure l’influence de la France – considérée comme le berceau et l’épicentre de la Querelle – sur les autres nations, notamment à travers la diffusion d’oeuvres d’une importance majeure, comme La Cité des dames de Christine de Pizan. Mais il déplace également cette problématique, en étudiant le rôle joué par des œuvres phares issues d’autres pays, comme le célébrissime De mulieribus claris de l’Italien B...
Portraits and Poses
Interdisciplinary and cross-cultural view on authority construction among early modern female intellectuals The complex relation between gender and the representation of intellectual authority has deep roots in European history. Portraits and Poses adopts a historical approach to shed new light on this topical subject. It addresses various modes and strategies by which learned women (authors, scientists, jurists, midwifes, painters, and others) sought to negotiate and legitimise their authority at the dawn of modern science in Early Modern and Enlightenment Europe (1600–1800). This volume explores the transnational dimensions of intellectual networks in France, Italy, Britain, the German states and the Low Countries, among others. Drawing on a wide range of case studies from different spheres of professionalisation, it examines both individual and collective constructions of female intellectual authority through word and image. In its innovative combination of an interdisciplinary and transnational approach, this volume contributes to the growing literature on women and intellectual authority in the Early Modern Era and outlines contours for future research.
Premodern Rulers and Postmodern Viewers
Pop culture portrayals of medieval and early modern monarchs are rife with tension between authenticity and modern mores, producing anachronisms such as a feminist Queen Isabel (in RTVE’s Isabel) and a lesbian Queen Christina (in The Girl King). This book examines these anachronisms as a dialogue between premodern and postmodern ideas about gender and sexuality, raising questions of intertemporality, the interpretation of history, and the dangers of presentism. Covering a range of famous and lesser-known European monarchs on screen, from Elizabeth I to Muhammad XII of Granada, this book addresses how the lives of powerful women and men have been mythologized in order to appeal to today’s audiences. The contributors interrogate exactly what is at stake in these portrayals; namely, our understanding of premodern rulers, the gender and sexual ideologies they navigated, and those that we navigate today.
Recovering Women's Past
This collection of essays focuses on how women born before the nineteenth century have claimed a place in history and how they have been represented in the collective memory from the Renaissance to the twenty-first century.
The New Codebreakers
This Festschrift volume is published in honor of David Kahn and is the outcome of a Fest held in Luxembourg in 2010 on the occasion of David Kahn’s 80th birthday. The title of this books leans on the title of a serious history of cryptology named “The Codebreakers”, written by David Kahn and published in 1967. This book contains 35 talks dealing with cryptography as a whole. They are organized in topical section named: history; technology – past, present, future; efficient cryptographic implementations; treachery and perfidy; information security; cryptanalysis; side-channel attacks; randomness embedded system security; public-key cryptography; and models and protocols.
Lucy Hutchinson and the English Revolution
In Lucy Hutchinson and the English Revolution, Claire Gheeraert-Graffeuille explores Lucy Hutchinson's historical writings and the Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson, which, although composed between 1664 and 1667, were first published in 1806. The Memoirs were a best-seller in the nineteenth century, but largely fell into oblivion in the twentieth century. They were rediscovered in the late 1980s by historians and literary scholars interested in women's writing, the emerging culture of republicanism, and dissent. By approaching the Memoirs through the prism of history and form, this book challenges the widely-held assumption that early modern women did not - and could not - write the history of wars, a field that was supposedly gendered as masculine. On the contrary, Gheeraert-Graffeuille shows that Lucy Hutchinson, a reader of ancient history and an outstanding Latinist, was a historian of the English Revolution, to be ranked alongside Richard Baxter, Edmund Ludlow, and Edward Hyde.
Gender and Diplomacy
The book series "Diplomatica" of the Don Juan Archiv Wien researches cultural aspects of diplomacy and diplomatic history up to the nineteenth century. This second volume of the series features the proceedings of the Don Juan Archiv's symposium organized in March 2016 in cooperation with the University of Vienna and Stvdivm fÆsvlancm to discuss the topic of gender from a diplomatic-historical perspective, addressing questions of where women and men were positioned in the diplomacy of the early modern world. Gender might not always be the first topic that comes to mind when discussing international relations, but it has a considerable bearing on diplomatic issues. Scholars have not left this...
