In this volume, scholars examine the role of the body as a primary
site of political signification in 17th- and 18th-century
France.;Some essays focus on the sacralization of the king's body
through a gendered textual and visual rhetoric. Others show how the
monarchy mastered subjects' minds by disciplining the body through
dance, music, drama, art and social rituals. The last essays in the
volume focus on the unmaking of the king's body and the
substitution of a new, republican body. Throughout, the authors
explore how race and gender shaped the body politic under the
Bourbons and during the Revolution.;This study expands our
conception of state power and demonstrates that seemingly
apolitical activities like the performing arts, dress and ritual
contribute to the state's hegemony. The text aims to be a valuable
resource for students and scholars of history, literature, music,
dance and performance studies, gender studies, art history and
political theory.
