Fanny Cosandey, Le rang. Préséances et hiérarchies dans la France d'Ancien Régime

Submitted by ccarlin on 7 January 2017 - 5:59pm

Paris, Gallimard, Coll. "Bibliothèque des histoires", 2016. ISBN : 978-2-07-010556-4. 496 p.

L'idéologie républicaine, empreinte d'esprit de fraternité, postule que les hommes naissent libres et égaux en droit. Sous l'Ancien Régime, c'est la question du rang qui gouverne l'organisation sociale, et, à travers titres et dignités, la place occupée qui dit l'identité des êtres et des lignages, le pouvoir des acteurs. Etudié par Fanny Cosandey dans l'entourage royal, le rang s'offre en observatoire des rapports de forces des sujets entre eux et, surtout, avec le monarque.

Yann Lignereux, Les rois imaginaires. Une histoire visuelle de la monarchie de Charles VIII à Louis XIV

Submitted by ccarlin on 21 December 2016 - 11:01am

Rennes, Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2016. ISBN : 978-2-7535-5141-1. 372 p. 24€.

Ce livre propose un cheminement dans l’imaginaire monarchique moderne, dans des images où s’incarne le visage de l’État. Il interroge le pouvoir des images à illustrer le prince et à apprivoiser l’État afin d’éclairer la révolution des représentations politique et artistique du siècle des Lumières comme notre rapport contemporain aux images politiques.
