Paris The Powers that Shaped the Medieval City

Paris The Powers that Shaped the Medieval City

Paris: The Powers that Shaped the Medieval City considers the various forces – royal monastic and secular – that shaped the art architecture and topography of Paris between c. 1100 and c. 1500 a period in which Paris became one of the foremost metropolises in the West. The individual contributions written by an international group of scholars cover the subject from many different angles. They encompass wide-ranging case studies that address architecture manuscript illumination and stained glass as well as questions of liturgy religion and social life. Topics include the early medieval churches that preceded the current cathedral church of Notre-Dame and cultural production in the Paris area in the late 12th and early 13th centuries as well as Paris’s chapels and bridges. There is new evidence for the source of the c. 1240 design for a celebrated window in the Sainte-Chapelle an evaluation of the liturgical arrangements in the new shrine-choir of Saint-Denis built 1140–44 and a valuable assessment of the properties held by the Cistercian Order in Paris in the Middle Ages. Also the book investigates the relationships between manuscript illuminators in the 14th century and representations of Paris in manuscripts and other media up to the late 15th century. Paris: The Powers that Shaped the Medieval City updates and enlarges our knowledge of this key city in the Middle Ages. | Paris The Powers that Shaped the Medieval City

The Parlement of Paris

The Parlement of Paris

Originally published in 1968 this authoritative study analyses the Parlement as a law court and examines its political role and significance. From its beginning in the mid-13th Century until its fall during the 1789 Revolution the Paris Parlement stood at the heart of government in France. Its primary function as the crown’s judicial authority grew out of the need for a royal court to dispense justice when the king could no longer do so personally. The book describes how the Parlement evolved sophisticated procedures and a complex organization of chambers officers and personnel and examines the Parlement’s judicial and political growth against the social backdrop of the Court and the Palais de Justice. | The Parlement of Paris

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Maria Scott's study of the operation of irony in Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris contends that the principal target of the collection's spleen is its own readership. Baudelaire as one of the most perceptive cultural commentators of the nineteenth century was naturally very keenly aware of the growing dominance of the bourgeoisie in France not least as a market for art and literature. Despite being dependent on this market for his own writing the poet was highly critical of bourgeois values and attitudes. Scott builds on existing criticism of the collection to argue that these are indirectly mocked in Le Spleen de Paris often in the person of the poet's supposed textual alter ego. The contention is that the prose poems betray the trust of readers by way of an apparent transparency of meaning that functions to blind us to their embedded irony. Though focused on Le Spleen de Paris Scott's study engages with the full range of Baudelaire's writings including his art and literary criticism. Her book will be of interest not only to Baudelaire scholars but also to those engaged more generally with nineteenth-century French culture. | Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 examines Paris as a center of international culture that attracted artists from Western and Eastern Europe Asia and the Americas during a period of burgeoning global immigration. Sixteen essays by a group of emerging and established international scholars - including several whose work has not been previously published in English - address the experiences of foreign exiles immigrants students and expatriates. They explore the formal and informal structures that permitted foreign artists to forge connections within and across national communities and in some cases fashion new transnational identities in the City of Light. Considering Paris from an innovative global perspective the book situates both important modern artists - such as Edvard Munch Sonia Delaunay-Terk Marc Chagall and Gino Severini - and lesser-known American Czech Italian Polish Welsh Russian Japanese Catalan and Hungarian painters sculptors writers dancers and illustrators within the larger trends of international mobility and cultural exchange. Broadly appealing to historians of modern art and history the essays in this volume characterize Paris as a thriving transnational arts community in which the interactions between diverse cultures peoples and traditions contributed to the development of a hybrid and multivalent modern art. | Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Is Paris Still the Capital of the Nineteenth Century? Essays on Art and Modernity 1850-1900

Is Paris Still the Capital of the Nineteenth Century? Essays on Art and Modernity 1850-1900

Is Paris Still the Capital of the Nineteenth Century? The question that guides this volume stems from Walter Benjamin's studies of nineteenth-century Parisian culture as the apex of capitalist aesthetics. Thirteen scholars test Benjamin's ideas about the centrality of Paris formulated in the 1930s from a variety of methodological perspectives. Many investigate the underpinnings of the French capital's reputation and mythic force which was based largely upon the city's capacity to put itself on display. Some of the authors reassess the famed centrality of Paris from the vantage point of our globalized twenty-first century by acknowledging its entanglements with South Africa Turkey Japan and the United States. The volume equally studies a broader range of media than Benjamin did himself: from modernist painting and printmaking photography and illustration to urban planning. The essays conclude that Paris did in many ways function as the epicenter of modernity's international reach especially in the years from 1850 to 1900 but did so only as a consequence of the idiosyncratic force of its mythic image. Above all the essays affirm that the study of late nineteenth-century Paris still requires nimble and innovative approaches commensurate with its legend and global aura. | Is Paris Still the Capital of the Nineteenth Century?

The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

In December 2015 196 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Paris Agreement seen as a decisive landmark for global action to stop human- induced climate change. The Paris Agreement will replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2020 and it creates legally binding obligations on the parties based on their own bottom-up voluntary commitments to implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The codification of the climate change regime has advanced well but the implementation of it remains uncertain. This book focuses on the implementation prospects of the Agreement which is a challenge for all and will require a fully comprehensive burden- sharing framework. Parties need to meet their own NDCs but also to finance and transfer technology to others who do not have enough. How equity- based and facilitative the process will be is of crucial importance. The volume examines a broad range of issues including the lessons that can be learnt from the implementation of previous environmental legal regimes climate policies at national and sub-national levels and whether the implementation mechanisms in the Paris Agreement are likely to be sufficient. Written by leading experts and practitioners the book diagnoses the gaps and lays the ground for future exploration of implementation options. This collection will be of interest to policy-makers academics practitioners students and researchers focusing on climate change governance. | The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

Between Constantinople and Rome An Illuminated Byzantine Gospel Book (Paris gr. 54) and the Union of Churches

Between Constantinople and Rome An Illuminated Byzantine Gospel Book (Paris gr. 54) and the Union of Churches

This is a study of the artistic and political context that led to the production of a truly exceptional Byzantine illustrated manuscript. Paris Bibliothèque Nationale de France codex grec 54 is one of the most ambitious and complex manuscripts produced during the Byzantine era. This thirteenth-century Greek and Latin Gospel book features full-page evangelist portraits an extensive narrative cycle and unique polychromatic texts. However it has never been the subject of a comprehensive study and the circumstances of its commission are unknown. In this book Kathleen Maxwell addresses the following questions: what circumstances led to the creation of Paris 54? Who commissioned it and for what purpose? How was a deluxe manuscript such as this produced? Why was it left unfinished? How does it relate to other Byzantine illustrated Gospel books? Paris 54's innovations are a testament to the extraordinary circumstances of its commission. Maxwell's multi-disciplinary approach includes codicological and paleographical evidence together with New Testament textual criticism artistic and historical analysis. She concludes that Paris 54 was never intended to copy any other manuscript. Rather it was designed to eclipse its contemporaries and to physically embody a new relationship between Constantinople and the Latin West as envisioned by its patron. Analysis of Paris 54's texts and miniature cycle indicates that it was created at the behest of a Byzantine emperor as a gift to a pope in conjunction with imperial efforts to unify the Latin and Orthodox churches. As such Paris 54 is a unique witness to early Palaeologan attempts to achieve church union with Rome. | Between Constantinople and Rome An Illuminated Byzantine Gospel Book (Paris gr. 54) and the Union of Churches

Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Studies in the history of French nineteenth-century stage music have blossomed in the last decade encouraging a revision of the view of the primacy of Austro-German music during the period and rebalancing the scholarly field away from instrumental music (key to the Austro-German hegemony) and towards music for the stage. This change of emphasis is having an impact on the world of opera production with new productions of works not heard since the nineteenth century taking their place in the modern repertory. This awakening of enthusiasm has come at something of a price. Selling French opera as little more than an important precursor to Verdi or Wagner has entailed a focus on works produced exclusively for the Paris Opéra at the expense of the vast range of other types of stage music produced in the capital: opéra comique opérette comédie-vaudeville and mélodrame for example. The first part of this book therefore seeks to reintroduce a number of norms to the study of stage music in Paris: to re-establish contexts and conventions that still remain obscure. The second and third parts acknowledge Paris as an importer and exporter of opera and its focus moves towards the music of its closest neighbours the Italian-speaking states and of its most problematic partners the German-speaking states especially the music of Weber and Wagner. Prefaced by an introduction that develops the volume’s overriding intellectual drivers of cultural exchange genre and institution this collection brings together twelve of the author’s previously published articles and essays fully updated for this volume and translated into English for the first time. | Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Constructing Space A Longitudinal Study of Immigrants from Wenzhou in Paris

Constructing Space A Longitudinal Study of Immigrants from Wenzhou in Paris

This book presents the findings of a ten-year longitudinal study on the experience of Chinese immigrants from Wenzhou in Paris. The author examines the impact of the evolving spaces people from Wenzhou have built for themselves in the French capital both within immigrant communities and French society at large. The study discovers that over the course of a decade immigrants from Wenzhou in Paris have experienced notable changes in the industries they work in where they live their organizational structure how they interact with one another and their inter-generational dynamics. This book investigates four specific spaces: economic social cultural and policy-related all of which emerge from immigrants’ integration into local society and in turn impact their own integration. The author aims to reveal the paths and mechanisms of the community and how their social spaces have been constructed while the production mechanism of society from the theoretical point of view is also explored. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of Sociology Immigration Studies and East Asian Studies. It will also be an essential reading for those who are interested in Chinese immigration in general. | Constructing Space A Longitudinal Study of Immigrants from Wenzhou in Paris

The Making of a World Order Global Historical Perspectives on the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles

The Making of a World Order Global Historical Perspectives on the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles

Why does 1919 deserve further study and debate a hundred years later? What lessons for global history may we learn from the world order created at the end of the Great War? Drawing insight from the global turn of the past several decades that has forced us to reconsider the most important world events and processes since the French Revolution and especially the growing interest in World War I as a global conflict that extended far beyond the borders of Europe this volume explores the global political ramifications of the treaties prepared at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 by focusing on key topics: how the Paris Peace Conference re-shaped the geo-political configurations of the Middle East the importance of transformations in Asia and particularly China in the immediate postwar period the shifts in Southeastern Europe new feminist movements in Central Europe and the pre-history of neoliberalism. Read together the papers demonstrate how the peace treaties signed in 1919 and 1920 marked a profound transformation on local national continental and global scales. | The Making of a World Order Global Historical Perspectives on the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles

Horn Teaching at the Paris Conservatoire 1792 to 1903 The Transition from Natural Horn to Valved Horn

Horn Teaching at the Paris Conservatoire 1792 to 1903 The Transition from Natural Horn to Valved Horn

The transition from the valveless natural horn to the modern valved horn in 19th-century Paris was different from similar transitions in other countries. While valve technology was received happily by players of other members of the brass family strong support for the natural horn with its varied color palette and virtuoso performance traditions slowed the reception and application of the valve to the horn. Using primary sources including Conservatoire method books accounts of performances and technological advances and other evidence this book tells the story of the transition from natural horn to valved horn at the Conservatoire from 1792 to 1903 including close examination of horn teaching before the arrival of valved brass in Paris the initial reception and application of this technology to the horn the persistence of the natural horn and the progression of acceptance use controversies and eventual adoption of the valved instrument in the Parisian community and at the Conservatoire. Active scholars performers and students interested in the horn 19th-century brass instruments teaching methods associated with the Conservatoire and the intersection of technology and performing practice will find this book useful in its details and conclusions including ramifications on historically-informed performance today. | Horn Teaching at the Paris Conservatoire 1792 to 1903 The Transition from Natural Horn to Valved Horn

Part-Architecture The Maison de Verre Duchamp Domesticity and Desire in 1930s Paris

Part-Architecture The Maison de Verre Duchamp Domesticity and Desire in 1930s Paris

Part-Architecture presents a detailed and original study of Pierre Chareau’s Maison de Verre through another seminal modernist artwork Marcel Duchamp’s Large Glass. Aligning the two works materially historically and conceptually the book challenges the accepted architectural descriptions of the Maison de Verre makes original spatial and social accounts of its inhabitation in 1930s Paris and presents new architectural readings of the Large Glass. Through a rich analysis which incorporates creative projects into history and theory research the book establishes new ways of writing about architecture. Designed for politically progressive gynaecologist Dr Jean Dalsace and his avant-garde wife Annie Dalsace the Maison de Verre combines a family home with a gynaecology clinic into a ‘free-plan’ layout. Screened only by glass walls the presence of the clinic in the home suggests an untold dialogue on 1930s sexuality. The text explores the Maison de Verre through another radical glass construction the Large Glass where Duchamp’s complex depiction of unconsummated sexual relations across the glass planes reveals his resistance to the marital conventions of 1920s Paris. This and other analyses of the Large Glass are used as a framework to examine the Maison de Verre as a register of the changing history of women’s domestic and maternal choices reclaiming the building as a piece of female social architectural history. The process used to uncover and write the accounts in the book is termed ‘part-architecture’. Derived from psychoanalytic theory part-architecture fuses analytical descriptive and creative processes to produce a unique social and architectural critique. Identifying three essential materials to the Large Glass the book has three main chapters: ‘Glass’ ‘Dust’ and ‘Air’. Combining theory text creative writing and drawing each traces the history and meaning of the material and its contribution to the spaces and sexuality of the Large Glass and the Maison de Verre. As a whole the book contributes important and unique spatial readings to existing scholarship and expands definitions of architectural design and history. | Part-Architecture The Maison de Verre Duchamp Domesticity and Desire in 1930s Paris

COVID-19 and Climate Change in BRICS Nations Beyond the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030

COVID-19 and Climate Change in BRICS Nations Beyond the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030

This book provides a quantitative and qualitative overview of the overall impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the capacity of Brazil Russia India China and South Africa (BRICS countries) to reshape global climate governance and explore areas for mutual cooperation. BRICS countries account for nearly 40% of the total world population and are thus intrinsic to the global efforts and results for Agenda 2030 the Sustainable Development Goals the Paris Agreement and beyond. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic does not at first appear to be directly related to BRICS’ policies to address climate change but it has influenced the pace and nature of climate action due to the loss of human and financial capital. This book examines this correlation and raises awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts and potential solutions on BRICS’ climate strategies. Drawing on case studies from each country the authors use examples from urban governance energy transition strategy foreign investment and more to illustrate how COVID-19 has negatively or positively impacted climate data and draw wider conclusions about the long-term climate policies that may be implemented. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change environmental politics and governance and global development studies. | COVID-19 and Climate Change in BRICS Nations Beyond the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030

Lost to Desire The École Psychosomatique de Paris and its Encounter With Patients Who Do Not Thrive

Lost to Desire The École Psychosomatique de Paris and its Encounter With Patients Who Do Not Thrive

This book covers the work of psychoanalysts in post WWII France with patients beset by somatic problems with little manifest fantasy life and how their concept of opératoire continues to inform the theory and practice of working with patients in crisis. The author explores what the new concept has elicited in a community of practitioners – close to the École Psychosomatique de Paris – over a period of some sixty years. As a 'skin for thought' it facilitated change while preserving coherence gradually beginning to attract further considerations. Important themes have included: the early groundwork necessary for the configuration of fantasy the importance of a shared imaginary the role of denial and obliterated memories as a bond between people emergency measures of a Me cut off from revitalisation the effects of the rhythms and atmosphere at the workplace on family life and the consequences of a crisis suppressed for lack of a holding frame. As psychoanalytic discourse adapted to the challenges the original perspective changed aspect moving from a systematic evaluation of what the patients did not produce to what the analyst had to fill in to make sense of the situation. Clashing with the terrain French psychoanalysts raised important problems about psychic anaemia that are stimulating and deserve cross-cultural discussion. This book will appeal to psychoanalysts in practice and training who wish to learn more about this ground-breaking work on memory and trauma and how to apply it to their own practice. | Lost to Desire The École Psychosomatique de Paris and its Encounter With Patients Who Do Not Thrive

The French Economy Theory And Policy

The French Economy Theory And Policy

This volume brings together the proceedings of a conference held at the Institut Europeen d' Administration des Affaires (INSEAD) at Fontainebleau on July 5 6 and 7 1982. Summer conferences abound in the Paris region. That it was possible to attract an imposing international cast of economists within walking distance of the historic castle of Fontainebleau and one hour away from central Paris by car during the month of July is nothing especially surprising. But in this case there was a particular motivation for choosing the French site. | The French Economy Theory And Policy

The Spiritual Rococo Decor and Divinity from the Salons of Paris to the Missions of Patagonia

The Spiritual Rococo Decor and Divinity from the Salons of Paris to the Missions of Patagonia

A groundbreaking approach to Rococo religious décor and spirituality in Europe and South America The Spiritual Rococo addresses three basic conundrums that impede our understanding of eighteenth-century aesthetics and culture. Why did the Rococo ostensibly the least spiritual style in the pre-Modern canon transform into one of the world’s most important modes for adorning sacred spaces? And why is Rococo still treated as a decadent nemesis of the Enlightenment when the two had fundamental characteristics in common? This book seeks to answer these questions by treating Rococo as a global phenomenon for the first time and by exploring its moral and spiritual dimensions through the lens of populist French religious literature of the day-a body of work the author calls the ’Spiritual Rococo’ and which has never been applied directly to the arts. The book traces Rococo’s development from France through Central Europe Portugal Brazil and South America by following a chain of interlocking case studies whether artistic literary or ideological and it also considers the parallel diffusion of the literature of the Spiritual Rococo in these same regions placing particular emphasis on unpublished primary sources such as inventories. One of the ultimate goals of this study is to move beyond the cliché of Rococo’s frivolity and acknowledge its essential modernity. Thoroughly interdisciplinary The Spiritual Rococo not only integrates different art historical fields in novel ways but also interacts with church and social history literary and post-colonial studies and anthropology opening up new horizons in these fields. | The Spiritual Rococo Decor and Divinity from the Salons of Paris to the Missions of Patagonia

American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

Pop art was essential to the Americanization of global art in the 1960s yet it engendered resistance and adaptation abroad in equal measure especially in Paris. From the end of the Algerian War of Independence and the opening of Ileana Sonnabend’s gallery for American Pop art in Paris in 1962 to the silkscreen poster workshops of May ’68 this book examines critical adaptations of Pop motifs and pictorial devices across French painting graphic design cinema and protest aesthetics. Liam Considine argues that the transatlantic dispersion of Pop art gave rise to a new politics of the image that challenged Americanization and prefigured the critiques and contradictions of May ’68. | American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

In Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels Bernard J. Paris offers an analysis of the protagonists in four of Jane Austen's most popular novels. His analysis reveals them to be brilliant mimetic creations who often break free of the formal and thematic limitations placed upon them by Austen. Paris traces the powerful tensions between form theme and mimesis in Mansfield Park Emma Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. Paris uses Northrop Frye's theory of comic forms to analyze and describe the formal structure of the novels and Karen Horney's psychological theories to explore the personalities and inner conflicts of the main characters. The concluding chapter turns from the characters to their creator employing the Horneyan categories of self-effacing detached and expansive personality types to interpret Jane Austen's own personality. Readers of Jane Austen will find much that is new and challenging in this study. It is one of the few books to recognize and pay tribute to Jane Austen's genius in characterization. Anyone who reads this book will come away with a new understanding of Austen's heroines as imagined human beings and also with a deeper feeling for the troubled humanity of the author herself. | Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

An Evidence-Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis Research Theory and Clinical Practice

An Evidence-Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis Research Theory and Clinical Practice

An Evidence-Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis assesses the state of psychoanalysis in the 21st century. Joel Paris examines areas where analysis needs to develop a stronger scientific and clinical base and to integrate its ideas with modern clinical psychology and psychiatry. While psychoanalysis has declined as an independent discipline it continues to play a major role in clinical thought. Paris explores the extent to which analysis has gained support from recent empirical research. He argues that it could revive its influence by establishing a stronger relationship to science whilst looking at the state of current research. For clinical applications he suggests while convincing evidence is lacking to support long-term treatment brief psychoanalytic therapy lasting for a few months has been shown to be relatively effective for common mental disorders. For theory Paris reviews changes in the psychoanalytic paradigm most particularly the shift from a theory based largely on intrapsychic mechanisms to the more interpersonal approach of attachment theory. He also reviews the interfaces between psychoanalysis and other disciplines ranging from neuropsychoanalysis to the incorporation of analytic theory into post-modern models popular in the humanities. An Evidence-Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis concludes by examining the legacy of psychoanalysis and making recommendations for integration into broader psychological theory and psychotherapy. It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts psychoanalytic psychotherapists and scholars and practitioners across the mental health professions interested in the future and influence of the field. | An Evidence-Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis Research Theory and Clinical Practice

Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War

Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War

This book addresses practices of bordering debordering and rebordering on the territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after state borders had been remapped on the negotiation tables of the Paris Peace Treaties following the First World War. As life in borderlands did not correspond to the peaceful Europe articulated in the Paris Treaties a multitude of (un)foreseen complications followed the drawing of borders and states. The chapters in this book include new case studies on the creation centralization or peripheralization of border regions such as Subcarpathian Rus Vojvodina Banat and the Carpathian Mountains; on border zones such as the Czechoslovakian harbour in Germany; and on cross-border activities. The book shows how disputes over national identities and ethnic minorities as well as other factors such as the economic consequences of the new state borders appeared on the interwar political agenda and coloured the lives of borderland inhabitants. The contributions demonstrate the practices of borderland inhabitants in the establishment functioning disorganization or ultimate breakdown of some of the newly created interwar nation-states. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal European Review of History. | Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War
