Mystifying the Monarch omslag Monarch 31-10-2006 11:04 Pagina 1 Mystifying the Monarch The monarchy: no other political institution proved to be so durable and flexible through its age-long history. Despite the modernization, seculari- zation, and bureaucratization of power, the affective, archaic, and almost timeless relationship between sovereigns and their ‘subjects’ still prevails in several countries. Though troubled by the many recent scandals of their royals, many courts continue to perceive that the perennial maxim ‘the King can do no wrong’ has lost none of its strength. Yet the staging and sacralization of the monarchy in Western Europe have always been interwoven with practices of subversion and banalization. The different discourses aiming at the symbolic construction of royal power can not be studied without considering at the same time the popular appropriation of the official rhetoric. Hence, this collection of essays does not propose a strictly linear narrative from medieval sacralization to postmodern demystification of kingship. Choosing the perspective of the long run between the twelfth and the first half of the twentieth century, it clearly shows how the mystification and demystification of the monarch have always been two sides of the same coin.

Towards Practical Linguistic and Text Analytical Methods for Historians’, executed between 2001 and 2004 at Ghent University, the Catholic University of Leuven and the Free University of Brussels. We would like to thank our academic partners Jan Blommaert, Jo Tollebeek, Patricia Van den Eeckhout, and Tom Verschaffel for their commitment to this project and the many intellectual stimuli we enjoyed from them. Special gratitude goes to John Barrell, Marc Boone, Luc Duerloo, Jaap van Ginneken, and Ruth Wodak for their contributions to the success of a pleasant, small conference organized in November 2003 as a preparatory step to this volume and hosted by the Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature in Ghent. We also feel honoured that Willem Frijhoff, Dominick LaCapra, Joep Leerssen, Gabrielle Spiegel, and Gareth Stedman Jones were willing to take part in the Scientific Committee to this enterprise. The realization of our project and of this volume took extensive advantage of the practical assistance of Claudine Colyn, Margot De Smaele, Greet Donckers, and Linde Vandevelde; of transla- tions offered by Jill Corner, Ingrid Piron, and Donald Pistolesi; and of the meticulous editorial assistance of Juleen Audrey Eichinger. For financial sup- port we could rely comfortably on grants from the Research Foundation – Flanders and from the Faculty of Humanities of Ghent University. Last but not least, we extend our deepest gratitude to the authors who were willing to con- tribute to this volume and share with us their unparalleled expertise.

Particularly the work of Michel Foucault has placed its stamp incontrovertibly on this triangle. And it still does so, even after the heyday of the linguistic turn. As Gabrielle Spiegel pointed out recently, Foucault’s use of the term discourse and his elaboration of the notion of knowledge/power also fostered new currents of historical work in which especially questions of ‘practices’ come to the fore.1 If it is true that the major discussions and dissatisfactions engendered by the linguistic turn remain basically at a theoretical level, concrete historical work benefits from Foucauldian theories that emphasize the ways in which discourse is tied to institutions and social practices. Even historians who are reluctant to assume the non-referentiality of language and discourse may well endorse the de-essen- tializing agenda of the linguistic turn and the abandonment of the positivist idea that discourse is a form of expression. The linguistic turn is in a sense giv- ing way to a ‘historical turn’ that remains informed by discourse theory but draws the attention away from questions of representation and back to sites of social practice, conceptualized as the effect of discursive formations that them- selves undergo constant processes of change. Spiegel sees the new perspectives on the dialectical interplay between discourse and practice as a rediscovery and even rehabilitation of ‘the social’ that had been weakened and obliterated by poststructuralism.2 Insofar as Foucault himself ventured into concrete historical research, one cannot deny that his results were received with considerable criticism, particu- larly by traditional historians. Those criticisms not only relate to the many his- torical inaccuracies and doubtful interpretations in Foucault’s empirical research, but are also inspired often by a dislike of his denigration of the ideals of the Enlightenment.3 Yet from a rather unexpected angle, the many-sided French historian Michel de Certeau has made some fascinating annotations on Foucault’s ‘genealogical’ research into the relationship between discursive strategies and the ‘microphysics of power’, as described for example in Sur- veiller et punir, Foucault’s study of nineteenth-century disciplinary procedures in prisons, schools, and hospitals.4 From Certeau’s comments two fundamen- 9 Mystifying the monarch 02-11-2006 09:18 Pagina 10 tal, mutually coherent critical observations can be deduced.

  • 2. Foreword by Cleveland Moffett, the Bulletin Magazine the Belgian
    2. Foreword by Cleveland Moffett, The Bulletin Magazine The Belgian Revolution of 1830 has never been celebrated with the uproarious firework festivities that the national upheavals of the French, Americans, Mexicans or Russians inspire every year. One reason is that the Belgians never had any such colourful characters as Danton, Washington, Zapata or Lenin. They have their statues of Rogier, Gendebien and Merode, of course, and then there was that riot at the opera house in August – young men stirred by a romantic aria to throw their top hats in the air and cry ‘Liberty!’ – followed by the four days in September of valiant battle and around the Royal Park, all splendid events well worth commemorating. And yet the date chosen as Belgium’s national day is July 21, 1831, when an immigrant German prince agreed to be called Leopold I and to accept the role of the people’s king. Still, it was a peaceful compromise that ended a year of turmoil. A constitutional monarchy was what the upstart new nation’s powerful neighbours insisted upon. The only holdout, the one fierce opponent of this sensible solution, was journalist Louis de Potter (Bruges, 1786-1859). He, strangely enough, has no public statue or acknowledgement for his merits. Nothing more than a blue plate with his name in a short dusty side street in the pink district of Schaerbeek. And yet, without Louis de Potter it is hardly likely that there would have been any revolution at all. It was his eloquence, his pamphlets and proclamations, that led the people of Belgium, then under the thumb of William I of the Netherlands, to believe they could rise up against Dutch tyranny and go it alone.

Though it took to the end of the seven- teenth century for the modem law of nations, based on the idea of state sover- eignty, to be formed, the roots of many of its concepts and institutions can be situated in this period2 .

  • A Genealogical Handbook of German Research
    Family History Library • 35 North West Temple Street • Salt Lake City, UT 84150-3400 USA A GENEALOGICAL HANDBOOK OF GERMAN RESEARCH REVISED EDITION 1980 By Larry O. Jensen P.O. Box 441 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062 Copyright © 1996, by Larry O. Jensen All rights reserved. No part of this work may be translated or reproduced in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, including photocopying, without permission in writing from the author. Printed in the U.S.A. INTRODUCTION There are many different aspects of German research that could and maybe should be covered; but it is not the intention of this book even to try to cover the majority of these. Too often when genealogical texts are written on German research, the tendency has been to generalize. Because of the historical, political, and environmental background of this country, that is one thing that should not be done. In Germany the records vary as far as types, time period, contents, and use from one kingdom to the next and even between areas within the same kingdom. In addition to the variation in record types there are also research problems concerning the use of different calendars and naming practices that also vary from area to area. Before one can successfully begin doing research in Germany there are certain things that he must know. There are certain references, problems and procedures that will affect how one does research regardless of the area in Germany where he intends to do research. The purpose of this book is to set forth those things that a person must know and do to succeed in his Germanic research, whether he is just beginning or whether he is advanced.

  • German Hegemony and the Socialist International's Place in Interwar
    02_EHQ 31/1 articles 30/11/00 1:53 pm Page 101 William Lee Blackwood German Hegemony and the Socialist International’s Place in Interwar European Diplomacy When the guns fell silent on the western front in November 1918, socialism was about to become a governing force throughout Europe. Just six months later, a Czech socialist could marvel at the convocation of an international socialist conference on post- war reconstruction in a Swiss spa, where, across the lake, stood buildings occupied by now-exiled members of the deposed Habsburg ruling class. In May 1923, as Europe’s socialist parties met in Hamburg, Germany, finally to put an end to the war-induced fracturing within their ranks by launching a new organization, the Labour and Socialist International (LSI), the German Communist Party’s main daily published a pull-out flier for posting on factory walls. Bearing the sarcastic title the International of Ministers, it presented to workers a list of forty-one socialists and the national offices held by them in Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Poland, France, Sweden, and Denmark. Commenting on the activities of the LSI, in Paris a Russian Menshevik émigré turned prominent left-wing pundit scoffed at the new International’s executive body, which he sarcastically dubbed ‘the International Socialist Cabinet’, since ‘all of its members were ministers, ex-ministers, or prospec- tive ministers of State’.1 Whether one accepted or rejected its new status, socialism’s virtually overnight transformation from an outsider to a consummate insider at the end of Europe’s first total war provided the most striking measure of the quantum leap into what can aptly be described as Europe’s ‘social democratic moment’.2 Moreover, unlike the period after Europe’s second total war, when many of socialism’s basic postulates became permanently embedded in the post-1945 social-welfare-state con- European History Quarterly Copyright © 2001 SAGE Publications, London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi, Vol.
