Charles III: the difficult legacy and political significance of the new king’s name

First paragraph: On the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, the former Prince of Wales was proclaimed King Charles III. Although it’s been known for decades that Charles would succeed his mother, there were rumours that he might, once king, choose the name George due to the contentious legacies of Kings Charles I and Charles II

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 Jones’s Banqueting House: Development of Sketches and Architectural Symbolism

This article analyses the representations of Inigo Jones’s Banqueting House. The first part explores Jones’s 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 Eighteenth‐Century France: From Grand Tour to School Trips

After his studies on travellers visiting England in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (Philosophies du voyage, 2016), Gábor Gelléri 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 ‘a discussion of whether one should travel, and how to make travel beneficial’ (p.205), but Gelléri goes the extra mile by analysing them as a ‘discourse on practice’ (p.7) and a ‘practice of discourse’ (p.140). To do so, Gelléri 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 1720’s as a turning point in Leopold’s 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 rebellion’s 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 thèse se propose d’étudier les connections entre deux réseaux de voyageurs britanniques du 18ème siècle : les Jacobites et les Grand-touristes. Il s’agit plus précisément d’en faire leur histoire au sein du duché de Lorraine entre 1697 et 1729, période encore très peu étudiée du règne de Duc Léopold, et dans laquelle s’inscrit, non seulement la rébellion Jacobite de 1715 mais aussi la création de l’académie de Lunéville, qui est ici nouvellement identifiée comme un arrêt prisé du Grand Tour. L’exploitation de sources d’archives permettant l’histoire politique et sociale du Jacobitisime en Lorraine, ainsi que les écrits du Grand Tour traitant de la présence britannique autour de l’académie de Lunéville, nous permettra de révéler les interactions entre ce groupe d’exilés politiques et la communauté de Grand-touristes de passage en Lorraine. Nous proposerons également une méthodologie qui réduit la distance entre les disciplines historiques et littéraires pour l’étude du Grand Tour et de ses productions écrites, montrant par la même que l’utilisation du concept d’archi-genre permet, dans le cadre de notre corpus, de révéler les années 1720 comme moment charnière des relations entre les dynasties Stuart et Lorraine. Cette étude témoignera ainsi de l’importance des académies d’éducation comme extension de la diplomatie de leur souverain en révélant que les idéaux de fidélité dynastique et religieuse sont peu à peu remplacés au profit de la création d’une communauté d’intellectuels des lumières dans laquelle s’insèrent futurs diplomates et politiciens sur le Tour

Questionner la recherche.: Contributions des jeunes chercheurs aux systèmes complexes

International audienceCet ouvrage propose des perspectives novatrices de jeunes chercheurs s'interrogeant sur l'évolution des pratiques et des objets d’études devenus complexes. Il rassemble les réponses à l’appel à contributions passé suite à la Journée Internationale des Jeunes Chercheurs « Quelles Questions pour Quelles Recherches? » (Université de Lorraine, 16 Juin 2017).Dans une perspective collaborative, ces chercheurs de différents horizons culturels et disciplinaires, ont présenté, visuellement ou textuellement, des méthodologies et/ou des concepts originaux dans leur approche ou de par leur(s) objet(s) d’étude.Les frontières disciplinaires se retrouvent bousculées, déconstruites. Ainsi on découvre dans ce recueil de surprenants liens tissés entre des conceptions antiques et pratiques de recherches contemporaines, une recherche de rationalité dans l’art communément considéré subjectif, ou encore l’étude d’objets pouvant paraitre insolites. Qui penserait, de premier abord, à étudier les représentations télévisuelles, ou l’influence d’un récit littéraire sur l’attitude rocambolesque d’un groupe de saltimbanques?On s’interroge également sur les apports de la psychologie, de la sociologie, de la philosophie ou encore de la géographie dans des domaines pratiques comme la médecine. La question de la praticité de la recherche universitaire est également abordée à travers des exemples de contributions de chercheurs en entreprise, qui estompent les limites entre chercheurs et problématiques sociétales. Les principes éthiques et la déontologiques que l’on pensait immuables sont également interrogées, confrontés aux réalités des recherches de terrain.Les objets nouveaux et complexes de la recherche dissolvent les frontières disciplinaires et nécessitent la collaboration des chercheurs, donnant naissance à des champs trans – inter ou pluridisciplinaires et faisant émerger des interrogations, allant même jusqu’à oser « l’indiscipline ». Ce sont ces questions cruciales qui ébranlent le monde de la recherche aujourd’hui que les éditeurs ont rassemblé ici
