Vigilance and the Plague
This book focuses on the connection between vigilance and the plague in France throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. For more than three centuries, between the middle of the 14th century up until circa 1670, the prevalence of the plague in France was said to be endemic, before it then vanished from French territory. The Great Plague of Marseille (1720-1722, which also impacted the rest of Provence, the County of Venaissin and Languedoc) proved to be an exception. During that period, the fight against the plague was deemed a top-priority along the French coast, and health institutions, called bureaux de la santé, were developed. Contributions to this book primarily focus on health vigilanc...
Catastrophe, Gender and Urban Experience, 1648-1920
As Enlightenment notions of predictability, progress and the sense that humans could control and shape their environments informed European thought, catastrophes shook many towns to the core, challenging the new world view with dramatic impact. This book concentrates on a period marked by passage from a society of scarcity to one of expenditure and accumulation, from ranks and orders to greater social mobility, from traditional village life to new bourgeois and even individualistic urbanism. The volume employs a broad definition of catastrophe, as it examines how urban communities conceived, adapted to, and were transformed by catastrophes, both natural and human-made. Competing views of gen...
New Approaches to Governance and Rule in Urban Europe Since 1500
Urban power and politics are topics of abiding interest for students of the city. This exciting collection of essays explores how Europe’s cities have been governed across the last 500 years. Taken as a whole, it provides a unique historical overview of urban politics in early modern and modern Europe. At the same time, it guides the reader through the variety of ways in which power and governance are currently understood by historians and new directions in the subject. The essays are wide-ranging, covering Europe from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, Russia to Ireland, between 1500 and the twentieth century. Each chapter employs a specific case-study to illuminate a way of examining how ...
Les Limites de Paris (XII-XVIIIe siècles)
L'actualité de la création de la Métropole du Grand Paris qui redéfinit le périmètre de la capitale, resté inchangé depuis sa dernière modification en 1860, invite à une réflexion historique sur les limites de la ville. S’il s’agit d’un thème de recherches faisant l’objet de continuels renouvellements en géographie et en sociologie urbaine, la...
Moving Around in Town
The object of this book is intra-urban mobility, namely the diverse forms of mobility occuring within a city: from residential mobility to daily mobility, the latter understood both as commuting and as urban travel for leisure. The specific aim of the volume is to explore mobility in the city at different times, from the XVIIth century to today, and to relate it to the respective social dynamics from different standpoints, moving back and forth from the building to the neighbourhood and the wider metropolis, from Tunis to Paris, from Naples to Barcelone, passing through Rome, Milan and Marseille. The approach adopted is strongly multidisciplinary. The authors come from different disciplines - from History to Demography, from Sociology to Geography -, which has allowed to decline the study of intra-urban mobility both through a look at individuals and their mobility practices and from a territorial and historical context. In so doing, a set of urban issues has been considered, such as social mobility, metropolization processes, migrations and inequalities, access to real estate market.
Échos des Lumières
Période décisive, à bien des égards fondatrice de la modernité, les Lumières voient les individus investir l’espace public et s’emparer de l’actualité. On découvre dans l’histoire du XVIIIe siècle ici dépeinte la proximité saisissante entre cette actualité et la nôtre. Violences policières, condition des femmes, précarité, désastres environnementaux, fake news avant l’heure, racisme, rapport au corps et à la médecine : bien avant nous, les Lumières ont questionné ces réalités. Tout en prenant la mesure de ce qui nous en sépare, l’ouvrage fait revivre l’exceptionnelle dynamique du siècle, mais aussi ses ambivalences et ses contradictions. Les Lumières, ...
Napoléon et l'Empire des Lettres
Après les déchirements fratricides de la Révolution française et une fois le pays mobilisé autour d’un élan vainqueur en Europe, il était temps, pour Napoléon, de reprendre le contrôle de l’opinion publique dans le cadre d’un vaste projet de fusion des élites, qui réunirait anciens révolutionnaires et royalistes revenus d’exil. Reprendre le fil d’un grand récit national traduit ainsi une forte volonté de réconciliation sociale de l’empereur, portée par des hommes de sensibilité différente mais rassemblés au sein d’une administration œuvrant à l’édification politique et législative de la France. Le mot d’ordre ? Modération. C’est au reste pourquoi cette administration est caractérisée par la relative uniformité des opinions qui trouvent à s’exprimer dans la presse, la censure, l’écriture historique, ou encore les institutions de savoir et d’enseignement. L’Empire des Lettres venait conforter et légitimer le Premier Empire.
Genesis. Rivista della Società italiana delle storiche (2022) Vol. 21/2
Genesis è la rivista della Società Italiana delle Storiche. Fondata nel 2002, si avvale di un processo di peer review. Il suo ambito è la storia di genere e la storia delle donne. Genesis non intende privilegiare alcun approccio storiografico, ma fa interagire le diverse prospettive per fornire uno spaccato rappresentativo della ricerca più sensibile e aggiornata. Le riflessioni sul passato sono strettamente connesse a una particolare attenzione alle questioni più attuali della politica contemporanea, in prospettiva transnazionale. Genesis, nelle sue varie sezioni tematiche, travalica confini di spazio e tempo, incoraggiando i lavori che puntano a superare confini nazionali ed eurocentrismi , nel quadro di un approccio multidisciplinare in cui interagiscono storia e scienze sociali. La rivista pubblica articoli in italiano, inglese, francese e spagnolo. Pur essendo rivolta a un pubblico di riferimento prevalentemente scientifico, la rivista affronta temi che incontrano anche l'interesse di un più vasto pubblico di lettori.
