Sexing Political Culture in the History of France gathers together
several compelling essays that nuance older studies about how
gender and sexual symbols stand in for the nation in its various
incarnations from the Early Modern period to the present. By
combining a long historical trajectory with detailed analyses of
how the state or its opponents have used symbolic meaning to
mobilize political action, clarify or criticize hierarchy, or
simply make sense of social norms, these essays demonstrate the
distinctive power of such symbolism and thus of this area of focus,
which traverses intellectual, social, cultural history as well as
the history of gender and sexuality. This is a cutting-edge
collection that moves coherently from the early modern witch hunt
to race in postcolonial France. - Carolyn J. Dean, John Hay
Professor of International Studies, Brown University.
