Women and the City in French Literature and Culture
Interdisciplinarity: this book covers a range of media and genres from cinema to journalism to novels and a range of disciplines from feminism, film studies, Francophone studies, history, etc., which allows readers to access a particularly extensive range of disciplines within one volume and to make informed comparisons. Transhistoricism: the chronological range of essays included in this journal from the medieval period through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to the present demonstrates that women have always managed to access their own territory within the masculinised urban environment and this encourages readers to rethink previous gendered assumptions about women and the city. Feminism: the essays here form part of the wider movement in academic research to redress the gendered imbalance of perspectives on a range of subjects: here allowing us to look anew at French and Francophone culture and history as part of this feminist rewriting.
Women and Political Activism in France, 1848-1852
This book is organized around the personal struggles of ten extraordinary French women activists: Eugenie Niboyet, Eugenie Foa, Suzanne Voilquin, Josephine Bachellery, Pauline Roland, Jeanne Deroin, Elisa Lemonnier, Desiree Gay, Adele Esquiros, and Marie Noemie Constant. Ranging in age from 52 to 20 in 1848, coming from different economic backgrounds, these women share a common quest to be included in the economic and political rights won by the revolt against the July Monarchy. Banding together in the face of exclusion from the right to work guaranteed to all men in February 1848, they write petitions to the Provisional Government, and create the first daily feminist newspaper, “La Voix d...

Pantomime
This book offers perhaps the most comprehensive history of pantomime ever written. No other book so thoroughly examines the varieties of pantomimic performance from the early Roman Empire, when the term “pantomime” came into use, until the present. After thoroughly examining the complexities and startlingly imaginative performance strategies of Roman pantomime, the author identifies the peculiar political circumstances that revived and shaped pantomime in France and Austria in the eighteenth century, leading to the Pierrot obsession in the nineteenth century. Modernist aesthetics awakened a huge, highly diverse fascination with pantomime. The book explores an extraordinary variety of mod...

Digitised Newspapers – A New Eldorado for Historians?
The application of digital technologies to historical newspapers has changed the research landscape historians were used to. An Eldorado? Despite undeniable advantages, the new digital affordance of historical newspapers also transforms research practices and confronts historians with new challenges.

This volume provides a snapshot of current research on the subject and offers three perspectives: how digitisation is transforming access to and expl...
Allemagne 1974-1990
« Le changement par le rapprochement » était le mot-clé de l'Ostpolitik de Willy Brandt, mais le retour à une unité étatique entre la RFA et la RDA, sous quelque forme que ce fût, paraissait hors d'atteinte dans les années 1970 et même 1980. La démocratie de Bonn n'était plus considérée comme un « État provisoire », elle semblait inscrite dans la durée. La RDA avait obtenu la reconnaissance internationale qu'elle avait tant convoitée et elle offrait une image de stabilité. On avait tout lieu de penser que les architectes de l'Ostpolitik avaient échoué. Malgré quelques ouvertures, un renforcement des relations commerciales, de nouvelles facilités pour des échanges et ...
Théophile Gautier, Orator to the Artists
Théophile Gautier a envoyé avec un feuilleton plus de trois mille personnes dans latelier de M. Ingres, wrote Champfleury in 1848. For artists, critics and readers alike, Gautier was the essential figure in French art journalism in the mid-nineteenth century. During the short-lived but pivotal period of the Second Republic, when the new administration was committed to reforming all the institutions of the fine arts, Gautier deployed the full resources of his brilliant, flexible and authoritative writing to support and direct these developments in ways compatible with his commitment to an idealist aesthetic, itself under growing pressure from alternative trends in an increasingly competitive art market. This first study of all Gautiers art journalism written during the Second Republic provides a long overdue reassessment of Gautiers importance in French nineteenth-century visual culture.
Interaktion und Rhythmus
Modellierungen von Fremdheit beeinflussen die gesamte Wissenskultur des Tanzens im 19. Jahrhundert. Sie durchdringen die Tradierungen und Regeln der tanzrelevanten Verfahren und Aufschreibesysteme, wie sie sich in Theorien, Libretti, Notaten, Kritiken, Ikonographien darstellen. Sie bewirken minimale bis radikale Veränderungen der Bühnenpraktiken des Tanztheaters, seiner Erzählstrukturen, der Vorstellung vom Tanzen, des Wissens um seine Ausdrucksmittel. Sie affizieren seine Dokumentations-, Archivierungs- wie Theoretisierungsweisen. "Interaktion und Rhythmus" analysiert korporale, kinetische und inszenatorische Alteritäten in etwa 100 Tanztheorien aus Deutschland, Frankreich, England und Spanien und rund 100 Tanzlibretti aus Frankreich, Deutschland, England, Italien und Portugal.
