From the Napoleonic Empire to the Age of Empire
This book explores imperial entanglements to reassess the Napoleonic Empire as a missing link—or at least an important chain—in the global and longue durée history of Empires. In recent years Napoleonic studies have, belatedly but resolutely, embraced the transnational historiographical turn, vastly expanding the field’s geographical scope. Its canonical chronological boundaries, on the other hand, appear increasingly narrow against this wider backdrop, giving the impression of a parenthetical, almost anachronistic aside from 1799 to 1815. What connects, and what doesn’t connect, the Napoleonic Empire to the Age of Empire, remains by and large an open question. Put another way, this book attempts to locate the Napoleonic empire in World History.
L'Empire des Français. 1799-1815
Pour se distinguer d’une bibliographie pléthorique sur le Premier Empire, cet ouvrage peut faire valoir trois ambitions majeures : rassembler, renouveler, anticiper. Rassembler : il manquait une grande synthèse suggestive qui ne se laissât pas prendre aux rets de la biographie anecdotique, de l’histoire événementielle ou du roman national, et saisisse le régime à la fois comme une république et une monarchie, en le replaçant dans le contexte postrévolutionnaire. Renouveler : Aurélien Lignereux saisit les flux qui innervent ses diverses parties d ans une perspective délibérément européenne, suivant les récentes recherches d’historiens anglo-saxons et italiens, sans cesser d’interroger le lien entre Napoléon et les 40 millions de Français embarqués dans l’aventure impériale. Anticiper : il s’agit aussi de poser les fondements d’une histoire nouvelle qui prenne au sérieux l’idée impériale comme expérience, certes inachevée mais décisive dans les représentations collectives, de transmutation de la nation française en Empire, avec toutes les contradictions qu’implique la rencontre entre expansionnisme et universalisme.
Policing Cities in Napoleonic Europe
This book shows how the police functioned in the cities of the Napoleonic Empire. Shifting attention away from political repression, it focuses on the men who embodied this institution and made it work day-to-day. Based on extensive archival research, the book shows how the Napoleonic police were indeed an instrument of power, but also a profession and a service to the public. Traditionally associated with the image of Joseph Fouché and with political surveillance, the Napoleonic police, when studied from the local level, thus reveals itself to be much more complex and oriented simultaneously towards both the preservation of the regime and maintaining good urban order.
L'Empire de la paix
De la Révolution française et du Premier Empire, on retient des batailles et des victoires. La France se serait agrandie grâce à ses succès militaires. Jusqu’à constituer, sous Napoléon, un Empire de près de 130 départements. Et si, loin d’être un phénomène guerrier, l’Empire était un phénomène politique et bien souvent pacifique ? C’est la thèse détonante d’Aurélien Lignereux qui rappelle dans ce livre que, contrairement à une idée reçue, le gain de territoires ne provenait pas des conquêtes, en soi insuffisantes, mais d’un processus administratif et politique lourd et complexe : la « réunion ». Autrement dit : il ne suffisait pas de gagner des guerres p...
La France contemporaine
Voici une synthèse suggestive qui saisit le régime napoléonnien à la fois comme une république et comme une monarchie, en le replaçant dans le contexte postrévolutionnaire. Aurélien Lignereux adopte une perspective résolument européenne, sans cesser d'interroger le lien entre Napoléon et les 40 millions de Français embarqués dans l'aventure impériale. Il pose les fondements d'une histoire nouvelle qui prend au sérieux l'idée impériale comme expérience, certes inachevée, mais décisive dans les représentations collectives, avec toutes les contradictions qu'implique la rencontre entre expansionnisme et universalisme.

Napoleonic Governance in the Netherlands and Northwest Germany
“Van der Burg presents an innovative transregional study of Napoleonic governance in the often-overlooked northern periphery of the Empire. This book carefully examines the Empire’s administrative structure in the north, focusing on the heterogeneous community of prefects and subprefects as ‘tools of incorporation’, binding the regions to the central state. His rich comparative analysis highlights the incomplete integration of the north and makes important contributions to our understanding of the Empire and its legacy of state building.”—Katherine Aaslestad, West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA “Martijn van der Burg makes a vital contribution to the burgeoning scholarly l...
Actor-Network Theory and Crime Studies
Developed by Bruno Latour and his collaborators, actor-network theory (ANT) offers crimes studies a worthy intellectual challenge. It requires us to take the performativity turn, consider the role of objects in our analysis and conceptualize all actants (human and non-human) as relational beings. Thus power is not the property of one party, but rather it is an effect of the relationships among actants. This innovative collection provides a series of empirical and theoretical contributions that shows: ¢ The importance of conceptualizing and analyzing technologies as crucial actants in crime and crime control. ¢ The many facets of ANT: its various uses, its theoretical blending with other approaches, its methodological implications for the field. ¢ The fruitfulness of ANT for studying technologies and crime studies: its potential and limitations for understanding the world and revamping crime studies research goals. Students, academics and policy-makers will benefit from reading this collection in order to explore criminology-related topics in a different way.
