This article examines the political role of illness in Émile Zola'sLa Faute de l’abbé Mouret(The Sin of Father Mouret, 1875) in articulating the difference between a religious and a secular body. Published in the early French Third Republic (1870–1940), this novel shows the Zolian body as the nexus upon which religious and republican discourses compete. Using Paul Ricœur’s theory on Christianity’s original sin, this article compares Mouret’s sickness with physical evil and illustrates how Zola redeploys the traditional religious symbols of the heart, the blood, and the Word to the secular realm. It will show that original sin is a Christian myth inscribed on the body, and that Zola’s reformulation of a core religious doctrine dismantles its supporting framework for the fledgling secular Third Republic. Through an exploration of Zola’s attempt to forge a republican self, this article offers a new perspective on the nature of the Zolian body which merits further study under the field of Medical Humanities. Through the construction of the religious body, the essay also contributes to the wider critical discussion on mythology in Zola’s work.

This article analyzes the frontier line(s) of Brazil proposed by the Portuguese ambassadors (D. Vicente de Sousa Coutinho, D. Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho, and Luís de Sousa Coutinho, the Viscount of Balsemão), drawn on maps and documents sent to Abbé Raynal when he was preparing the 1780 edition of his famousHistoire des Deux Indes. This was accompanied by anAtlas de Toutes les Parties Connues du Globe Terrestre, produced by the French geographer Rigobert Bonne. The objective is, in light of the Treaty of Santo Ildefonso, to compare the lines defended by the ambassadors and those which Raynal and Bonne drew on the map of South America in theAtlas, analyzing the geopolitical impacts. Este artículo analiza las líneas fronterizas brasileñas propuestas por los embajadores portugueses (D. Vicente de Sousa Coutinho, D.

International audience; NorthWest Europe yields few traces of early human occupation, in particular for the Acheulean. In this context, the Somme Valley in northern France offers a route to Britain during various Pleistocene low sea levels, and has provided numerous evidence of Lower Palaeolithic human occupation through fieldwork initiated during the 19th century. These localities are associated with the original definition in the 1930s by the French prehistorian Abbé Henri Breuil of the 'Abbevillien' (Abbevillian facies), based on lithic pieces including crudely made bifaces recovered in particular in some famous key localities of Abbeville, Carpentier, Léon and Moulin Quignon quarries. The history of the term and its definition subsequently gave rise to debates concerning the chronocultural framework of Palaeolithic assemblages among the scientific community of prehistorians over time, from Jacques Boucher de Perthes, Gabriel de Mortillet, Geoffroy d'Ault du Mesnil, Victor Commont, Henri Breuil and François Bordes. New investigations at these three localities, all associated with the High Terrace of the Somme system, pushed back the age of the expansion of the Acheulean both in northern France and in Western Europe to c. 670-650 000 years. They imply that early hominins were able to settle in NorthWest Europe during both climatic temperate and cold phases. Our work, including new excavations and associated field observations of the three Abbeville localities involved at the onset of the controversy, allows a re-examination of the Abbevillian and contributes to the discussion of the history of Prehistoric Science and the Earliest 'Acheuleans' in NorthWest Europe.

The formulary and the external features of the acts of the abbots and the abbey of the Holy Trinity in Fécamp, like most monasteries, have never been the subject of a long-term systematic study beyond the superscription and seals.This is what we mean to provide here, from a corpus of nearly a hundred acts, by studying the evolution of the different parts of the discourse and the layout of the acts during the ducal period, from the beginning of Jean de Ravenne's abbacy (1028-1078) until the end of Raoul d'Argences’s (1190-1219). One of the resulting observations is that of a gradual codification of the formulas in use, which gets stronger at the very end of the studied period., Le formulaire et les caractères externes des actes des abbés et de l’abbaye de la Trinité de Fécamp, comme pour la plupart des autres monastères, n’ont jamais fait l’objet d’une étude systématique sur le temps long, en dehors de la suscription et des sceaux. C’est là ce que nous proposons, en étudiant l’évolution des différentes parties du discours et de la présentation des actes pendant la période ducale, du début de l’abbatiat de Jean de Ravenne (1028-1078) à la fin de celui de Raoul d’Argences (1190-1219), à partir d’un corpus riche de près d’une centaine d’actes. L’un des constats réalisés est celui d’une codification progressive des formules utilisées, plus intense en toute fin de période.

After a display of current bibliography, sources and available corpus (original seal impressions, casts, drawings, mere references, etc), the article focuses at first on the abbot seal impressions from the 12th century to the end of the Middle Ages, before broaching the abbey seals from the 13th century to the late Middle Ages. Comparisons will be made with seal impressions of the other Benedictine institutions of the Normandy province, especially from the Rouen and Evreux dioceses. We will linger some time over a quite unknown seal impression of the Bec Abbey: not over the 13th century one representing a Madonna and Child sitting on what looks like a reliquary (Herluin's tomb?), but over the one, mentioned as far back as the late 13th century and in use up to the 16th century, showing the coronation of the Virgin. The study also looks into Herluin's omnipresence on the counter-seal of the abbots and abbey seals. The seals are thus one of the aspects of the cult of the saints, in particular the founding ones. On another note, parallels are drawn between the seals of the first Norman archbishops of Canterbury and those of the first seal owning abbots of Bec. Lastly an abbey seal impression known by many Norman scholars and sigillographers, which dating (14th or 16th century?) and authenticity are under debate is studied at greater length before concluding., Après une présentation de la bibliographie existante, des sources et du corpus disponible (empreintes originales, moulages, dessins, simples mentions, etc.), l’article se concentre dans un premier temps sur les sceaux des abbés du XIIe siècle à la fin du Moyen Âge, avant d'évoquer les sceaux de l'abbaye du XIIIe siècle à la fin du Moyen Âge également. Des comparaisons avec les sceaux des autres établissements bénédictins de la province de Normandie, et notamment des diocèses de Rouen et Évreux, seront effectuées. Nous nous attarderons sur un sceau fort méconnu de l'abbaye du Bec: non celui du XIIIe siècle représentant une Vierge à l'enfant assise sur ce qui ressemble à un reliquaire (le tombeau d'Herluin ?), mais sur celui, attesté dès la fin du XIIIe siècle et en usage jusqu'au XVIe siècle, figurant le couronnement de la Vierge. L’étude se penche également sur l'omniprésence d'Herluin au contre-sceau des sceaux des abbés et de l'abbaye. Les sceaux sont ainsi un des aspects du culte des saints, notamment fondateurs. Par ailleurs, des parallèles entre les sceaux des premiers archevêques normands de Cantorbéry et ceux des premiers abbés du Bec disposant de sceaux sont établis. Enfin, un sceau de l'abbaye connu de nombreux érudits normands et sigillographes, qui fait débat quant à sa datation (XIVe ou XVIe siècle?) et à son authenticité, est étudié plus longuement avant la conclusion.

7. Madame de Pompadour and Le Havre-de-Grâce: An unnatural history.
- Author

Eigen, Edward
- Abstract
This essay examines the revealing particularities of the act of seeing in a historical setting. Placing stress on the classical unities, it presents a visual and documentary reconstruction of two indirectly related scenarios in which the act of seeing was staged to radically different effect. In pursuing the deceptively obvious argument that the how of looking at things depends largely on the where of looking at them, it offers a study in and by juxtaposition. The setting is eighteenth-century Le Havre-de-Grâce. The storied visit of Madame de Pompadour to see the sea for the first time provides the pretext for placing the Abbé Jacques-François Dicquemare (b. Le Havre 1733), who devoted his life to the study of the sea, on the historical stage. He has an instructive role to play as a minor but important character in the development of natural history, nominally understood as the art of describing the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite the often-repeated assertion that Buddhism and politics are, or at least must be, separate matters, Buddhism has been closely intertwined with politics one way or another since the Buddha’s time. In Thailand, Buddhism has been used since the end of the 19th century as a tool to legitimate state power. In the following decades, it has been progressively centralized under a national hierarchy, which is still existing today. This scheme was not altered after the change of the country’s political framework in 1932 and political tensions with the sangha came to the fore during the political troubles of the 1970s. The emergence of an increasing political divide in Thailand since the mid-2000s, around two broad groups which have been dubbed the Yellow Shirts and the Red Shirts, has engulfed the monastic community, leading to a growing activism by some Buddhist groups, some temples and some monks. Numerous monks mingled with Red Shirts demonstrators in April-May 2010, and some were on the front-line when the military gave the assault on the Red Shirts’ camp in downtown Bangkok. In the most recent years, these tensions have coalesced around the controversial Dhammakaya temple and have impacted the choice of the leader of the Thai monastic community. Although, tensions within the sangha are nothing new, they have weakened the ability of Buddhism – one of the national pillars of the Thai national ideology – to be a focal point as the country is going through a difficult transition with the end of seven-decades prestigious reign and political uncertainties clouding the horizon.

The major phenomenon in Thai Buddhism since the late 1970s has been the emergence and spread of Wat Phra Dhammakaya, which has all the appearances of a new religious movement similar to Japan’s Soka Gakkai and particularly South Korea’s Foguang Shan. The temple and its teachings have been mired in controversy since the mid-1990s and are regularly the object of criticism by both lay and monastic intellectuals and the Thai media. At its core, Dhammakaya is an attempt to adapt Buddhism to contem...

This paper examines the 1830 polemic between Benjamin Constant and the Abbé de Pradt over Simón Bolívar’s last dictatorship. I argue that in the debate a key flaw of liberal constitutionalism was evidenced: the lack of a theory of emergency powers. The new nations of Latin America drafted constitutions following Constant’s ideas regarding emergency provisions. Constant had argued forcibly against broad emergency provisions. While Bolívar was an admirer of Constant, he deviated from his constitutional thinking regarding temporary emergency provisions., Anuario de Historia de América Latina, Vol 55 (2018)

Martin Folkes (1690–1754) was Newton's protégé, an English antiquary, mathematician, numismatist and astronomer who would in the latter part of his career become simultaneously president of the Royal Society and of the Society of Antiquaries. Folkes took a Grand Tour from March 1733 to September 1735, recording the Italian leg of his journey from Padua to Rome in his journal. This paper examines Folkes's travel diary to analyse his Freemasonry, his intellectual development as a Newtonian and his scientific peregrination. It shows how, in this latter area, how he used metrology to understand not only the aesthetics but also the engineering principles of antique buildings and artefacts, as well as their context and place in the Italian landscape. Using Folkes's diary, his account book of his journey in the Norwich archives, and his correspondence with other natural philosophers such as Francesco Algarotti (1712–1764), Anders Celsius (1701–1744) and Abbé Antonio Schinella Conti (1667–1749), this paper will also demonstrate to what extent Folkes's journey established his reputation as an international broker of Newtonianism, as well as the overall primacy of English scientific instrumentation to Italian virtuosi.

One of the fundamental objectives of The Jamaica Letter is the reflection on the features that should have the international order after the fall of the Spanish Empire. For its organization, Simon Bolívar appeals to the amphictyonic assemblies of classical Greece and invokes the Pan-European project of the Abbe Saint Pierre. This article traces the documentary sources from which Bolivar derives his notion of confederal union and inspires the unions treaties from 1822 to 1826.

The Piety Handbook for Colored Men and Blacks edited by the Abbé Grégoire for Haiti in 1822 was faithfully translated in Spanish in 1839 for Buenos Aires where was a strong community of African origin. Now if the histories of the Caribbean Island and of Río de la Plata had the black slavery in common, his evolution was very different in each country. In the period of the publication of this handbook, the slavery was not abolished yet in Argentina. Nethertheless the argentinian editors, moved by the unsettled context of the Rosas’ government who was based on the popular masses, thought probably to make use of the Gregoire’s propositions about the regeneration of the Colored Men and the Blacks from a strict christian management., Le Manuel de piété à l’usage des hommes de couleur et des Noirs de l’abbé Grégoire, édité en 1822 pour Haïti, a été fidèlement reproduit en espagnol en 1839 pour Buenos Aires, où se trouvait une forte communauté d’origine africaine. Or si l’histoire de l’île caribéenne et celle du Río de la Plata avaient en commun l’esclavage des Noirs, l’évolution du système fut bien différente dans chaque pays. Il n’avait pas encore été aboli en Argentine à l’époque de la publication. Toutefois les éditeurs argentins, dans le contexte agité du gouvernement de Rosas qui s’appuyait sur les masses populaires, avaient probablement pensé à utiliser les propositions de Grégoire au sujet de la régénération de l’homme de couleur et du Noir à partir d’un strict encadrement chrétien.

International audience; Anthony Benezet was the prime source for antislavery arguments in the British campaign against the slave trade in the 1780s and 1790s. Historians used to assume his influential works had been translated into French and were also influential there. However there is no evidence that his works were indeed translated into French. In point of fact, his name became known in French antislavery circles thanks to his participation in the Quaker campaign against slave-ownership in Pennsylvania which was praised in the works of Raynal, Crèvecoeur and Brissot. His antislavery actions made him famous but his antislavery works did not circulate broadly in France apparently, leading the Société des Amis des Noirs to start a translation of his most famous pamphlet, which was never completed.

In the wake of France's defeat in the Seven Years War (1756-1763) Louis XV's ministers experimented with a number of reforms intended to reimagine the nation as something citizens could invest in financially, politically and even emotionally. Led by Prime Minister Choiseul, the regime encouraged discussion of state policy and in particular of the lessons to be learned from her erstwhile enemy. Under the patronage of Choiseul's cousin, foreign minister Praslin, two established journalists and savants, the Abbé (François) Arnaud and J.-B.-A. Suard, established a weekly review as part of the regime's publicity offensive. Published under official auspices from 1764 to 1766, the Gazette Littéraire de l'Europe was to serve as an intellectual clearing house for Europe, and reassert French as the language of savants. A study of its coverage of British arts and letters as well as of the private correspondence of its editors reveals the internal conflicts which characterized cross-Channel exchange, pursued as both a Enlightened and a political project. Au lendemain de la défaite française de la Guerre de Sept Ans (1756-63), les ministres de Louis XV tentèrent des réformes dont le but était de promouvoir la nation comme quelque chose dans quoi les citoyens pouvaient s’investir financièrement, politiquement et même émotionnellement. Stimulé par le Premier Ministre Choiseul, le régime encouragea les débats portant sur la politique gouvernementale et en particulier sur les leçons à tirer des antagonismes avec son vieil ennemi. Sous l’égide du cousin de Choiseul, le ministre des affaires étrangères Praslin, deux journalistes reconnus et érudits, l’Abbé (François) Arnaud et J.-B.-A. Suard lancèrent une revue hebdomadaire pour participer à l’effort de publicité du régime. Publiée avec l’aval des autorités de 1764 à 1766, La Gazette Littéraire de l’Europe se donne pour mission de servir de centre d’informations pour l’intellingentsia européenne et de réaffirmer la place du français comme langue des savants. Une étude de la manière dont elle couvre les arts et les lettres britanniques, ainsi qu’une analyse de la correspondence privée de ses rédacteurs, révèlent les conflits internes qui caractérisent les échanges franco-britanniques conçus à la fois comme un projet politique et comme une émanation des Lumières.

Focusing on Carl Schmitt's early work, this article argues that Schmitt's relatively unfamiliar mystical interpretation of Spinoza's pantheism, in combination with his use of the abbé Sieyès's notion ofpouvoir constituant, deeply informed his particular conception of anti-liberal, dictatorial democracy. Although it is often argued that, in Carl Schmitt's view, Spinoza heralded the end of political theology, this essay suggests that, even though it may be correct to say that Schmitt by 1938 deemed Spinoza “the corrupting spirit of modern liberalism”, there is a prior crucial, yet relatively unexplored, story to tell about Schmitt's reading of Spinoza—a story that leads to the heart of Schmitt's reconceptualization of democracy. While in Schmitt's view Spinoza's pantheism was detrimental to divine and kingly transcendentalism, it also served as a bold mystical foundation of Schmitt's notion of democratic homogeneity that would be capable of competing with contemporary “political theories of myth”.

In 1939, Dorothy Garrod became the first woman Professor in either Cambridge or Oxford. Garrod at the time was Director of Studies at Newnham College, Cambridge University and had been in charge of excavations in Gibraltar, Western Judaea, Southern Kurdistan and Mount Carmel for which she is now renowned. Trained by Marett at Oxford and Abbe Henri Breuil in France, she was one of our finest archaeologists. By 1939, Garrod had unearthed the well-preserved skull of 'Abel', a Neanderthal child, in Gibraltar, discovered and named the Natufian culture while excavating Shukba near Jerusalem, directed the long term, large scale excavations at Mount Carmel and traveled with Bruce Howe as her assistant to explore Bacho Kiro in Bulgaria. Once elected Professor, she became instrumental in establishing Archaeology and Anthropology as a full degree course and influential in Cambridge's decision to admit women to full membership in 1948. After retirement, she continued excavating in Lebanon and France. Here, with her close friend Suzanen Cassou de Saint Mathurin, she discovered the superb Magdalenian sculptured frieze at Angles-sur-l'Anglin.

The State of the Stage: Representation from Corneille to Diderot Benjamin Kolstad and eighteenth centuries in France, the was in the process of re-inventing itself after centuries of proscription by the Catholic church for its immoral and irreligious qualities. The task of its practitioners was to justify In the seventeenth institution of theater their product in the face of these accusations.^ Clearly, the fact that a pagan philosopher claimed that people take pleasure in imitation enough to justify the re-creation of the tragic stage. The moral argument which arose to supplement Aristotle's catharsis and became the cornerstone of the French classical theater was based on the Horatian delectare et prodesse. Tragedy, it was argued, was useful in addition to being pleasurable. The Abbe d'Aubignac's is not Pratique du Theatre (1657) calls theater absolutely necessary: Pour les Spectacles qui consistent autant dans les discours que dans les actions, ... lis sent non seulement utiles, mais absolument necessaires au Peuple pour I'instruire, et pour lui dormer quelque teinture des vertus morales.... Les esprits de ceux qui sent du dernier Ordre, et des plus basses conditions d'un Estat, ont si peu de commerce avec les belles connoissances, que les maximes les plus generales de la Morale leur sont absolument inutiles.... II leur faut une instruction bien plus grossiere. La raison ne les peut vaincre, que par des moyens qui tombent sous les sens. Tels que sont les belles representations de Theatre que Ton peut nommer veritablement I'Ecole du Peuple. Theater then, claimed to serve a specific function in Richelieu's time: the instruction of the tiers etat. However, neither d'Aubignac, nor the Academic Fran^aise, not even Aristotle himself satisfacto- rily explained how the theater could have this edifying virtue. Among the many writings that attempted such a task, those of Corneille and Diderot stand out as the most sensitive and illumi- nating, as well as the most revolutionary. Corneille, in his attempt to justify the success of his plays despite their apparent infidelity to Aristotle, developed the most insightful beginnings of what we now call a Rezeptionsdsthetik, while Diderot, through his recom
