Book review: Language and the Grand Tour: Linguistic Experiences of Travelling in Early Modern Europe
Arturo Tosi's new monograph is a worthy successor to Language and Society in a Changing Italy (2000), for both publications investigate the relationship between the languages and the national societies of the early modern period through a transnational lens. As a linguist, Tosi contributes to the cultural history of the Grand Tour by analysing the contribution made by elite educational travel to the standardisation of modern languages, and the codification of their dialects. While studying the linguistic diversity of European languages, this publication aims to demonstrate that social interactions were at the heart of the development of modern vernaculars
Representations of Inigo Jonesâs Banqueting House: Development of Sketches and Architectural Symbolism
This article analyses the representations of Inigo Jonesâs Banqueting House. The first part explores Jonesâs Italian influences and explains his architectural choices for the building. The second part examines the background of a ceremonial portrait of James I painted by Paul van Somer in 1620. We will show how this canvas reveals, if not a sketch of the Banqueting House unknown to this day, at least another proposal by Jones for the construction of the building. The final section studies the symbolism of the place during and after the execution of Charles I for the contemporary foreigners of the decapitation. We will specifically deal with two representations which are, to us, the models of the execution of the king. We will conclude with the reception and the symbolism of the building in the British Isles during the reinstatement of Charles I after the Restoration
Book review: Lessons of Travel in EighteenthâCentury France: From Grand Tour to School Trips
After his studies on travellers visiting England in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (Philosophies du voyage, 2016), GĂĄbor GellĂ©ri focuses his second monograph on France. The author analyses a wide range of texts belonging to the hybrid genre of travel advice literature: the ars apodemica. These prescriptive texts, arts of travel, are described as âa discussion of whether one should travel, and how to make travel beneficialâ (p.205), but GellĂ©ri goes the extra mile by analysing them as a âdiscourse on practiceâ (p.7) and a âpractice of discourseâ (p.140). To do so, GellĂ©ri structures his book in six distinct and complementary chapters, which refer back to one another
Du Jacobitisme sur le Grand Tour ? Le cas du duché de Lorraine et de la rébellion Jacobite de 1715 dans les écrits du déplacement (1697-1736)
This dissertation aims to show that the political history of Jacobitism is part of the cultural history of the Grand Tour and that it is visible in its literary productions of the early 18th century by using the little-studied reign of Duke Leopold of Lorraine (r.1697-1729) as a case study. It notably argues that the use of the arch-genre of writings about displacements adds to the body of critical sources available to historians in understanding the threads of two intersecting networks of the early eighteenth-century: the Jacobites and the Grand-Tourists. Through the examination of archival materials and the writings of travellers visiting Lorraine, we have identified the 1720âs as a turning point in Leopoldâs relationship with the British Isles. Indeed, from his restoration, the Duke of Lorraine aimed to maintain the independence of his dynasty and his territories by drawing on the long-lasting links between the Stuarts and the Lorrains via their attachment to Catholicism. However, we will demonstrate that it was after the failure of the 1715 Jacobite rebellion that the Duke of Lorraine shifted his interests towards British Grand-Tourists as part of wider a trend of joining in an international community of scholars of the early Enlightenment, ensuring connections with future diplomats or politicians whose travels would have been part of their training for the attainment of high-profiled positions once they had returned home. Indeed, the failed rebellionâs confirmation of the Act of Settlement convinced Leopold to align with Grand-tourists who were supporters of the Hanoverian succession. The political reality of the changing diplomatic climate of the post-Utrecht world took precedence over the ideals shared by the Lorrains and the Jacobites, and Leopold came to think as a Prince of the enlightenment rather than clinging onto now-outdated dynastic and religious connections to the Stuarts and their allies.Cette thĂšse se propose dâĂ©tudier les connections entre deux rĂ©seaux de voyageurs britanniques du 18Ăšme siĂšcle : les Jacobites et les Grand-touristes. Il sâagit plus prĂ©cisĂ©ment dâen faire leur histoire au sein du duchĂ© de Lorraine entre 1697 et 1729, pĂ©riode encore trĂšs peu Ă©tudiĂ©e du rĂšgne de Duc LĂ©opold, et dans laquelle sâinscrit, non seulement la rĂ©bellion Jacobite de 1715 mais aussi la crĂ©ation de lâacadĂ©mie de LunĂ©ville, qui est ici nouvellement identifiĂ©e comme un arrĂȘt prisĂ© du Grand Tour. Lâexploitation de sources dâarchives permettant lâhistoire politique et sociale du Jacobitisime en Lorraine, ainsi que les Ă©crits du Grand Tour traitant de la prĂ©sence britannique autour de lâacadĂ©mie de LunĂ©ville, nous permettra de rĂ©vĂ©ler les interactions entre ce groupe dâexilĂ©s politiques et la communautĂ© de Grand-touristes de passage en Lorraine. Nous proposerons Ă©galement une mĂ©thodologie qui rĂ©duit la distance entre les disciplines historiques et littĂ©raires pour lâĂ©tude du Grand Tour et de ses productions Ă©crites, montrant par la mĂȘme que lâutilisation du concept dâarchi-genre permet, dans le cadre de notre corpus, de rĂ©vĂ©ler les annĂ©es 1720 comme moment charniĂšre des relations entre les dynasties Stuart et Lorraine. Cette Ă©tude tĂ©moignera ainsi de lâimportance des acadĂ©mies dâĂ©ducation comme extension de la diplomatie de leur souverain en rĂ©vĂ©lant que les idĂ©aux de fidĂ©litĂ© dynastique et religieuse sont peu Ă peu remplacĂ©s au profit de la crĂ©ation dâune communautĂ© dâintellectuels des lumiĂšres dans laquelle sâinsĂšrent futurs diplomates et politiciens sur le Tour
Questionner la recherche.: Contributions des jeunes chercheurs aux systĂšmes complexes
International audienceCet ouvrage propose des perspectives novatrices de jeunes chercheurs s'interrogeant sur l'Ă©volution des pratiques et des objets dâĂ©tudes devenus complexes. Il rassemble les rĂ©ponses Ă lâappel Ă contributions passĂ© suite Ă la JournĂ©e Internationale des Jeunes Chercheurs « Quelles Questions pour Quelles Recherches? » (UniversitĂ© de Lorraine, 16 Juin 2017).Dans une perspective collaborative, ces chercheurs de diffĂ©rents horizons culturels et disciplinaires, ont prĂ©sentĂ©, visuellement ou textuellement, des mĂ©thodologies et/ou des concepts originaux dans leur approche ou de par leur(s) objet(s) dâĂ©tude.Les frontiĂšres disciplinaires se retrouvent bousculĂ©es, dĂ©construites. Ainsi on dĂ©couvre dans ce recueil de surprenants liens tissĂ©s entre des conceptions antiques et pratiques de recherches contemporaines, une recherche de rationalitĂ© dans lâart communĂ©ment considĂ©rĂ© subjectif, ou encore lâĂ©tude dâobjets pouvant paraitre insolites. Qui penserait, de premier abord, Ă Ă©tudier les reprĂ©sentations tĂ©lĂ©visuelles, ou lâinfluence dâun rĂ©cit littĂ©raire sur lâattitude rocambolesque dâun groupe de saltimbanques?On sâinterroge Ă©galement sur les apports de la psychologie, de la sociologie, de la philosophie ou encore de la gĂ©ographie dans des domaines pratiques comme la mĂ©decine. La question de la praticitĂ© de la recherche universitaire est Ă©galement abordĂ©e Ă travers des exemples de contributions de chercheurs en entreprise, qui estompent les limites entre chercheurs et problĂ©matiques sociĂ©tales. Les principes Ă©thiques et la dĂ©ontologiques que lâon pensait immuables sont Ă©galement interrogĂ©es, confrontĂ©s aux rĂ©alitĂ©s des recherches de terrain.Les objets nouveaux et complexes de la recherche dissolvent les frontiĂšres disciplinaires et nĂ©cessitent la collaboration des chercheurs, donnant naissance Ă des champs trans â inter ou pluridisciplinaires et faisant Ă©merger des interrogations, allant mĂȘme jusquâĂ oser « lâindiscipline ». Ce sont ces questions cruciales qui Ă©branlent le monde de la recherche aujourdâhui que les Ă©diteurs ont rassemblĂ© ici
