  • Cavell and the Politics of Cinema: on Marie Antoinette Richard Rushton1
    Film-Philosophy 18 (2014): Special Section on Stanley Cavell Cavell and the Politics of Cinema: On Marie Antoinette Richard Rushton1 In his writings, does Stanley Cavell propose something which might be called a ‘politics of cinema’? If the answer to such a question is ‘yes’, then I take it that a politics of cinema from Cavell’s perspective is one which downplays the question of cinematic techniques. For Cavell, a film’s ‘reflexivity’ or its foregrounding of the apparatus are not the grounds for defining a politics of cinema. Rather, Cavell asks questions like: How does a film articulate the stakes of a social or communal world? or: How does a film come to define the ways in which a group of people can live together? A political analysis of a film for Cavell would examine any film’s ways of articulating and defining a political society or framework. That is, a politics of cinema from Cavell’s perspective is one in which the stakes are to define a society or community. What is a ‘community’ or ‘society’? In a straightforward sense, a society is any group of people that is organised in such a way that its organisation persists over time, or that it might persist over time. A community or society therefore must be relatively stable, otherwise it could not be called a community or society. And yet, at the same time, any community will also be the product of its own continually changing processes of making and remaking itself. A political community therefore will only ever be relatively stable, so that change, disruption and transformation will be integral to any social formation.

  • Picturing Marie Lezczinska (1703- 1768): Representing Queenship in Eighteenth-Century France
    2017 IV Picturing Marie Lezczinska (1703- 1768): Representing Queenship in Eighteenth-Century France Jennifer Germann Farnham: Ashgate, 2015 Review by: Heidi A. Strobel Review: Printing Marie Leszczinska (1703-1768): Representing Queenship in Eighteenth Century France Picturing Marie Leszczinska (1703-1768): Representing Queenship in Eighteenth- Century France. By Jennifer Germann. Farnham: Ashgate, 2015. ISBN 978-1- 4094-5582-0. xiii + 239 pp. £65.00. n Picturing Marie Leszczinska (1703-1768): Representing Queenship in Eighteenth-Century France, Jennifer Germann considers the visual legacy of the wife of Louis XV (r. 1715-1774) through the lenses of social I art history, patronage, and gender studies. During her time as the longest reigning queen of France (1725-1768), Leszczinska gave birth to ten children. She never enjoyed a great deal of power at the French court, however, for she arrived there as the daughter of the exiled Polish king and was eventually eclipsed by the royal mistresses, particularly Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry. Germann’s account is a template for the historical consideration of a weak consort. During Leszczinska’s tenure, the power of French queenship continued to erode, a process that began with her predecessor, Marie-Thérèse (wife of Louis XIV), and came to a fateful end with her successor, Marie-Antoinette. Germann’s analysis of gender, power, and representation provides a necessary description of the change in French queenship from the strong Médici consorts of the early modern period to the weak ones of the eighteenth century. Germann focuses primarily on four portraits made at three distinct historical moments in Marie Leszczinska’s life, arguing that although she did not wield political power, her portraits reveal a degree of historical agency.

    Breaking with Convention: Mme de Pompadour’s Refashioning of the ‘Self’ Through the Bellevue Turqueries Mandy Paige-Lovingood A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Art History. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Melissa L. Hyde Cary Levine John Bowles ©2017 Mandy Paige-Lovingood ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MANDY PAIGE-LOVINGOOD: Breaking with Convention: Mme de Pompadour’s Refashioning of the ‘Self’ Through the Bellevue Turqueries (Under the direction of Dr. Melissa Hyde) In 1750 the sexual relationship between Mme Pompadour and Louis XV ended, resulting in the maîtresse-en-titre’s move out of Versailles and into the Château de Bellevue. Designed by Pompadour and with the financial support of the king, the château offered her a place away from court etiquette and criticism, a private home for her and Louis XV to relax. Within Bellevue, her bedroom (la chambre a la turq) was decorated with Turkish furnishings, textiles and Carle Van Loo’s three-portrait harem series. Specifically, my thesis will explore Pompadour’s chambre a la turque and Van Loo’s A Sultana Taking Coffee, the only self-portrait of Mme de Pompadour in the series, to exhibit her adoption and depiction of the French fashion trend of turquerie. Here, I suggest Pompadour’s adoption of harem masquerade was a political campaign aimed at reclaiming and magnifying her social and political dislocation from Louis XV’s court, as well as an alternative appraoch to the French definition of ‘woman,’ whereby she represented herself as an elite and desired ‘other’: the Ottoman woman.

These women, each in different and evolving ways, challenged notions of race and gender that excluded French women from political debate and participation and kept Africans and their descendants in subordinated social positions. However, even after Haitian independence, French authors continued to understand the colony as a social and political enterprise to be remodeled and ameliorated rather than abandoned.

BETWEEN WORLDS: THE BIOGRAPHY OF MADAME DE POMPADOUR’S BOUDOIR TURC by DANA LEE Under the Direction of Maria Gindhart ABSTRACT Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, known as the Marquise de Pompadour, was celebrated for her great patronage of the arts, including architecture. This biographical account of her Turkish boudoir at Bellevue examines its implications of personal and private life, class and gender, and the role of exoticism in eighteenth-century architectural interiors. Analysis of the boudoir and its contents reflect much about its unusual mistress and the unique period of the mid- eighteenth century, as all are likened to the metaphor of existing in a liminal space “between worlds.”

  • The Development of French Counter-Espionage, 1791-1794
    Securing the Revolutionary State: The Development of French Counter-Espionage, 1791-1794 By Carlos GARCIA DE LA HUERTA Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the university degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History September 2020 [Page intentionally left blank] i Supervision: Professor Marisa LINTON (First Supervisor) 1 Dr Rachael JOHNSON 2 1 Professor in History Kingston University London Kingston School of Art School of Arts, Culture and Communication Department of Humanities Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE United Kingdom 2 Senior Lecturer in History Kingston University London Kingston School of Art School of Arts, Culture and Communication Department of Humanities Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE United Kingdom ii [Page intentionally left blank] iii Abstract The history of counter-espionage during the early years of the French Revolution has been curiously overlooked by scholars and non-fiction writers alike. Until now, no single study has appeared, or indeed been published, charting the course of its development during the period in discussion. This thesis aims to fill this lacuna, not by offering an episodic account of its activities but by examining the precepts, perceptions and procedures that determined its conduct as it relates to la sûreté de l’état. Its objective, in other words, is to demonstrate how the pursuit and punishment of spies is not a simple cloak and dagger tale of hidden plots and secret agents but a fundamental question of national security. As this thesis will explain, the role that counter-espionage played is actually of central importance to our understanding of how the revolutionaries defended and securitized their embryonic state at a crucial juncture in its existence.

It takes a vil- lage to topple a country, and Welch enlists a roster of intriguing figures to give his ballet historic heft and emotional dimension. Each character plays a role in the famed queen’s tragic downfall, and it’s Welch’s ability to draw out their personalities and unique relationships to Marie that lends such gravitas to the ballet. Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna, youngest daughter of Austria’s black-widow empress, Maria Theresa, is indeed at the center of Welch’s lavish story ballet.

  • Madame Du Barry, Privilege and the Organ of the Attorney
    Madame du Barry, Privilege and the Organ of the Attorney Ruth Morris Bar-Ilan University, Israel INTRODUCTION In today’s world of conferences on everything under the sun, it is still rare for a conference to address the “history, theory/ies and practice of legal translation.” The February 2000 event at the University of Geneva provided an opportunity to raise a number of what appear to be esoteric and largely theoretical topics, such as: - the relationship between a foreign-language original and an interpreted or translated version - the reliability of interpreter performance - interpreters and attorney-client privilege - interpreter status and - pressures on interpreters. The key to this medley of interrelated subjects is provided, strangely enough, by a French aristocrat at the end of the eighteenth century. And, as will be seen, these theoretical and historical issues can have the most practical and immediate impact on the modern-day practice of the interpreter’s craft in the judicial setting. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In the early 1790s, the Comtesse du Barry made a number of visits to Britain in order to place her fortune at the disposal of French émigrés who had fled to “Perfidious Albion.” She might have expected that the French Revolutionary authorities would not take kindly to this state of affairs, and indeed, accused of being in league with the British government, she was condemned to death by the Revolutionary tribunal and executed on December 7, 1793. What this “last and loveliest of the mistresses of the French king Louis XV”, to quote the Encyclopaedia Britannica, would not have expected is that her name would subsequently be associated in the legal annals with two English legal cases which would set the tone for matters relating to interpreters and legal proceedings for centuries to come.

  • Louis XVI, a Constitutional Monarch?
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02633-9 - Louis XVI and the French Revolution, 1789–1792 Ambrogio A. Caiani Excerpt More information Introduction: Louis XVI, a constitutional monarch? ‘He that you call a king, we call a tyrant’1 Some time after the insurrection of 10 August 1792, the abbé Jean-Louis Soulavie travelled to the Comité de Surveillance of the Tuileries district to present an odd request.2 He pleaded for permission to consult the papers of the deposed Louis XVI which were still stored in the royal palaces. François Chabot, the head of the committee and formerly a Capuchin monk, could not contain his amazement.3 There was nothing intrinsic- ally wrong with the abbé’s desire to write a history of Louis XVI’s reign. However, the question which deeply troubled Chabot was on which side of the scales of historical bias Soulavie’s writings would lean. I think that among these scribblings and scraps of paper you will find the writ- ings of Turgot, Necker and Malesherbes, and that you will become biased in favour of Capet, like one member of [our] committee whom we surprised cry- ing like an idiot over a letter sent by [Madame] Elisabeth to her brother Capet … Is it among these [papers] that you can find the majesty of our revolution, the insurrection of the people, their resounding triumph over the crowned ogres who sought to devour them[?] Do you not have the means at your dis- posal of making history more inspiring, more imposing, more interesting than the miserable court intrigues that you wish to examine? Beware lest your work makes you forget yourself and, that will inevitably happen, if you feel pity for Capet.4 By toppling the House of Bourbon the Revolutionary government had sought to consign it to historical oblivion.
