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.
