Enlightenment, Revolution and the Periodical Press (English, French, Paperback, illustrated edition): Hans-Jurgen Lusebrink,... Enlightenment, Revolution and the Periodical Press (English, French, Paperback, illustrated edition)

Periodicals were an integral part of eighteenth-century European civilisation. This volume brings together original articles in English and French dealing with the press both in the main centres of Enlightenment thought and in such often-neglected countries as Portugal and Sweden. The contributions span the long eighteenth century, from Germany in the 1690s to Britain in the post-Napoleonic era. They cover the full range of the period's press, including manuscript newsletters, political gazettes, learned journals and revolutionary propaganda sheets. Joao Lisboa and Marie-Christine Skuncke show how periodicals allowed the circulation of news and political criticism even in societies such as Portugal and Sweden, where audiences were limited and censorship was severe; Anne-Marie Mercier-Faivre's study of press coverage of the Ottoman Empire shows that news reports gave a picture of 'oriental despotism' very different from the literary construct of Montesquieu's Lettres persanes; Bernadette Fort's essay on art criticism and Martin Stuber's analysis of the correspondence of a learned journal's editor broaden our understanding of the place of periodicals in the period's high culture. The revolutionary era brought major innovations in the press although, as Maria Lucia Pallares-Burke shows, older genres such as the 'spectator' were adapted to the new conditions. Political radicals like Jacques Roux (the focus of Eric Negrel's study) and the German emigre journalists who had fled to France (examined in Susanne Lachenicht's essay) owed their careers to the press. But the press could also serve conservative ends, as Philip Harling demonstrates in his analysis of Tory journalism in England in the early nineteenth century. Placed within a broader theoretical and historical context by Hans-Jurgen Lusebrink, Jack Censer and Jeremy Popkin, these studies expand our picture of the role of periodicals in the age of Enlightenment and Revolution, and suggest important new directions for further research.

The Bastille - A History of a Symbol of Despotism and Freedom (Paperback): Hans-Jurgen Lusebrink, Rolf Reichardt The Bastille - A History of a Symbol of Despotism and Freedom (Paperback)
Hans-Jurgen Lusebrink, Rolf Reichardt; Translated by Norbert Schurer
R843 Discovery Miles 8 430 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book is both an analysis of the Bastille as cultural paradigm and a case study on the history of French political culture. It examines in particular the storming and subsequent fall of the Bastille in Paris on July 14, 1789 and how it came to represent the cornerstone of the French Revolution, becoming a symbol of the repression of the Old Regime. Lusebrink and Reichardt use this semiotic reading of the Bastille to reveal how historical symbols are generated; what these symbols' functions are in the collective memory of societies; and how they are used by social, political, and ideological groups. To facilitate the symbolic nature of the investigation, this analysis of the evolving signification of the Bastille moves from the French Revolution to the nineteenth century to contemporary history. The narrative also shifts from France to other cultural arenas, like the modern European colonial sphere, where the overthrow of the Bastille acquired radical new signification in the decolonization period of the 1940s and 1950s. The Bastille demonstrates the potency of the interdisciplinary historical research that has characterized the end of this century, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, and taking its methodological tools from history, sociology, linguistics, and cultural and literary studies.

OEuvre de vingt ans et de plusieurs mains, signee par Guillaume- Thomas Raynal, y compris celles de Diderot et du baron d'Holbach, l'Histoire des deux Indes demeure un monument de la litterature du XVIIIe siecle, avec son melange piquant de realite et de fantaisie. Pourtant, malgre le statut de best-seller de ce succes a scandale, Raynal ne figure pas au premier rang des Lumieres. Dans les Lectures de Raynal, editees par Hans-Jurgen Lusebrink et Manfred Tietz, les auteurs evaluent l'impact de cette oeuvre titanesque sur le paysage socio-politique de l'Europe et de l'Amerique au XVIIIe siecle. Ils sillonnent l'Europe, les Etats-Unis et l'Amerique du sud a la recherche de ses differents lectorats de l'Histoire des deux Indes a travers les siecles. Passant des revolutionnaires francais de 1789 a l'esclavagiste devenu abolitionniste danois Heinrich Ernst Graf von Schimmelmann, cet ouvrage demeure fidele a la diversite de Raynal et a l'envergure de son projet. Il evoque la vie mouvementee de l'Histoire des deux Indes, depuis la genese de sa production jusqu'aux contextes de sa promotion et de sa diffusion, en soulignant son importance primordiale dans les echanges interculturels qui fleurissaient a l'epoque.

Die Beitrage europaischer Forscherinnen und Forscher beleuchten die Probleme, Herausforderungen, Formen und Bilder, die mit stadtischer Entwicklung einhergehen, aus zumeist vergleichender und auch interdisziplinarer Perspektive. Geschichte, Literatur, Soziologie, Architektur, Kino oder Interkulturalitat auf vielfaltige Art werden am Beispiel vor allem deutscher und franzosischer Stadte verschiedene Aspekte der Modernitat herausgearbeitet. Die Hauptfragestellungen widmen sich sozialen Gruppen, Migrationsstromen, Integrations- und Ausschlussphanomenen, Orten der Soziabilitat, Kulturveranstaltungen, Erzahlformen sowie theoretischen Analysen. Die transatlantische Dimension, also der Vergleich europaischer Gegebenheiten und amerikanischer Spezifika, wird anhand von Einzelfallstudien und uber unterschiedliche Denkansatze erforscht. Die Beitrage zur Stadtforschung geben so, im zeitlichen Rahmen vom 17. Jahrhundert bis hin zur Schwelle des 21. Jahrhunderts, den Forschungsstand verschiedener Disziplinen wieder und untersuchen die Relevanz zeitgenossischer Herangehensweisen."

In recent years scholars have turned their attention to the rich experience of the Jesuits in France and Spain's American colonies. That attention has brought a flow of new editions and translations of Jesuit accounts of the Americas; it is now time for a study that examines the full range of that work in a comparative perspective. Jesuit Accounts of the Colonial Americas offers the first comprehensive examination of such writings and the role they played in solidifying images of the Americas. The collection also provides a much-needed re-examination of the work of the Jesuits in relation to Enlightenment ideals and the modern social sciences and humanities - two systems of thought that have in the past appeared radically opposed, but which are brought together here under the rubric of modern ethnographic knowledge. Linking Jesuit texts, the rhetorical tradition, and the newly emerging anthropology of the Enlightenment, this collection traverses the vast expanses of Old and New World France and Spain in fascinating new ways.
