Abstract The French Revolution of 1789 was instrumental in the emergence and growth of modern nationalism, the idea that a state should represent, and serve the interests of, a people, or "nation," that shares a common culture and history and feels as one. But national ideas, often with their source in the otherwise cosmopolitan world of the Enlightenment, were also an important cause of the Revolution itself. The rhetoric and documents of the Revolution demonstrate the importance of national ideas.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • Charlemagne Returns
    Monarch Prophecies: Charlemagne Returns 1beSecret Societyof Jacohites CHARLEMAGNE RETURNS ! ! ! ! ! "#$%&#$'! ! ! ! '! CHARLEMAGNE RETURNS Why should I care about Charlemagne? Unlike many countries, France generally agrees that one person founded its nation. That person was Charlemagne. Why do we need a King? Most French people today do not think that a king is needed. Much of this negative way of thinking about the Founding fathers of many European countries stems from the American way of thinking. The Americans revolted against British royalty and helped to influence the ideology that resulted in the French acts of patricide that capitulated power in the French Revolution. Why did the French Revolution happen? Most people believe it was a class war between the proletariats, bourgeoisie, and aristocracy. However, it may have been something altogether different from the story that most historians pieced together and accepted as truth. In fact, there may be certain key events that happened in secret on the world stage that most historians either do not know about or felt uncomfortable revealing to the world. The secret society of Jacobites asserts that a descendant of Charlemagne returned to France around 9 SECRET SOCIETY OF JACOBITES 1747, and claimed his rightful Throne as the Heir of the Founding Father of France. A blood feud for the divine right of Kings ensued and a Capetian and Carolingian blow for blow, life for a life exchange took place leaving France headless. In other words, the French Revolution that ensued not only insulted the Patriarch of France, Charlemagne, it rendered the French less powerful in the World Theatre.

About a year and a half lat- er, we started working on what would eventually become our biggest release, Twin Cities Funk & Soul: Lost R&B Grooves From Minneapolis/St. Paul 1964-1979. What follows is our attempt to share with you some of the amazing stories, history, and photos that have been so gracious- ly shared with us during the course of producing a compilation of soulful tunes from our hometown. ..... R&B, soul, and funk music in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota went through dra- matic changes during the 1960s and 1970s. Predating these changes, a vibrant jazz scene beginning in the 1920s laid the groundwork with several players being instrumental in helping teach young local R&B mu- sicians how to play. However, many of the early R&B pioneers, including Mojo Buford, Maurice McKin- nies, and Willie Walker, came to Minnesota from other states and brought the music with them.

  • No. 168 Faith E. Beasley, Versailles Meets the Taj Mahal
    H-France Review Volume 19 (2019) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 19 (August 2019), No. 168 Faith E. Beasley, Versailles Meets the Taj Mahal: François Bernier, Marguerite de la Sablière, and Enlightening Conversations in Seventeenth-Century France. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2018. xiii + 349 pp. Figures, notes, bibliography, and index. $85.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 978-1-4875- 0284-3. Review by Susan Mokhberi, Rutgers University at Camden. In recent years, scholars have strengthened our understanding of East/West relations in the early modern period. Studies by literary scholars, such as Kate Marsh’s India in the French Imagination, explored connections between France and India in the eighteenth century.[1] Faith Beasley’s Versailles and the Taj Mahal takes us further back to the seventeenth century to reveal the significant impact Mughal India played on French thought. Beasley engages her readers in a novel interpretation of an oft-cited European source on Mughal India, the works of Francois Bernier, the French physician and traveler. As a literary scholar, Beasley investigates Bernier’s texts and their relationship to the seventeenth-century French salon, a public largely overlooked by historians. Beasley shows that French salon culture produced discussions about India that challenge prior conceptions of the early modern French-Indian relationship and Louis XIV’s France. Her work is in tune with recent books, such as Sanjay Subrahmanyam’s Europe’s India, that show the diversity of European views of India but also speak to a larger body of work that has shown wide variations in relationships between European countries and the rest of the world through engaging with a variety of previously ignored sources such as diplomatic texts, literature, theater, travelogues, images, and material culture.[2] Versailles and the Taj Mahal further complicates standard notions of East versus West and early modern Orientalism by exploring the link between the French world of the salon and India.

The level and form of female participation in the events of the Revolution varied among social classes. Female participation during the Revolution led to an overwhelming fear of women demanding and practicing democratic rights in both a nonviolent manner (petitioning for education, demanding voting rights, serving on committees), and in a violent manner (engaging in armed protest and violent striking). The terror surrounding female democratic participation was manifested in the fear of the female citizen, or citoyenne.
