Bodart, Diane H. "Pouvoirs du portrait sous l'empire des Habsbourg d'Espagne : 1500-1700." Paris, EHESS, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003EHES0005.
Full textThe royal portrait and dits powers, artistics as politics, are the aim if this research. From the main exemple of emperor Charles V’s portraits by Titian to the portraits of Spanish Habsburgs, the criterions of the success of portraiture in 16th and 17th centuries are examined in Italy and Spain, through works, reception and artistic theory. The questions of likeness, “life impression” and beholder’s position are questioned in artistic context, and also in a more precise historical context, where the presentation and visibility of paintings could be more important than artistic quality. The presence through images of the Spanish kings is therefore analysed in Italy, in their kingdoms – Milan, Naples and Sicily – as in the roman “theatre” of european diplomacy. The relation between image and work of art is in this way examined in a new light
Montoliu, Delphine. "Les académies siciliennes sous le règne des Habsbourg (1559-1701)." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012TOU20149.
Full textThe academic movement in Sicily develops in the XVIth and XVIIth centuries, golden age ofacademies in the Italian peninsula. The Hapsburg Spain regime, who dominated the majorpart of the Italian territories from 1559 till 1701, is marked by the social, religious andpolitical crisis. As museums and libraries, academies facilitate the dissemination ofknowledge. Sicilian and Spanish (from Madrid) collections constitute therefore a new testimony of this phenomenon which illustrates the literary life of a whole time: the Sicilian academies, everywhere on the island, embody consequently a singular Southern culture the influence of which passes their island border

Full textRecent years have witnessed a resurgence of questions of identity, at both national and sub-national levels. Taking the case of the Lorraine region as an example, the present study examines the mechanisms operating in the elaboration of a coherent discourse relevant to lotharingism. Those betraying an allegiance to the Lorraine-Habsburg dynasty were selected for deeper study. The role of the media is examined in detail via analysis of the regional daily newspaper L'Est Républicain from 1944 to 1999. The whole of the research method applies the theoretical framework of the orchestra model. The results obtained demonstrate the role of local influences in elaborating various manifestations of dynastic tendencies, which are expressed in relation to the descendants of the House of Lorraine and particularly with respect to the archduke Otto of Lorraine-Habsburg. This work has additionally illuminated the guidelines applying to the interactions of History as a science, popular History, and News, according to the corresponding parties' different interests. In this context, the position adopted by the regional daily press evolves as a function of the editorial politics as well as of the local, national, and international context. This research work has also revealed - the procedures for political communication put in place by the archduke Otto of Lorraine - the function of certain commemorative ceremonies - the dissemination of popular History as articulated with respect to the theme of the Habsburg dynasty

Full textFrancisco Santos was a modest soldier in the Spanish king's guard. He was forty years old when his first novel, "Día y noche de Madrid", was published in the capital of the Catholic empire. As an actor and a witness to the life of the lower classes in Madrid under Philip IV and Charles II of Habsburg, he published seventeen fiction works between 1663 and 1697. Some of these texts were republished, and volumes were exported. In his production, Santos combined prose narrative, poetry and drama; he criticized and satirized the morals of his contemporaries, according to a pious counter-reformist moral. With no academic training but nourished by reading the great names of Spanish literature, this self-taught man managed to build a successful professional career as a writer. The investigation proposed in this thesis thus highlights the paradox of an Ancien Régime society which, having reached the twilight of its Golden Age, allows one of its humblest subjects to become a fruitful author, a mirror of his time and a reflection of a literary heritage shared by his readers. Using the tools of the sociology of literature, this work explores the social fabric, the cultural, political and religious spheres, as well as the debates that agitated Spain at the time of the last sovereigns of the House of Austria. To what extent did his birth in Madrid, his social network of soldiers and officers, friends and supporters from the Church and the lower nobility, influence his writing? Did he attempt to develop an editorial line with his booksellers and printers? Did the creative vacuum of narrative prose fiction guide his formal and thematic choices? Courageous and stubborn, Santos used his talent as a narrator and his sensitivity to arouse the reader's imagination. He appropriated and combined the experiments and innovations of his predecessors. What sources of inspiration and borrowings did he draw from Alemán, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Quevedo, Saavedra Fajardo, Salas Barbadillo, Pérez de Montalbán, Castillo Solórzano, Vélez de Guevara, Zabaleta, Gracián and Calderón? What else did he borrow from popular and literary satire, from religious writings, from devout preaching, from sacred iconography, from literature of emblems and from accounts of events? Attentive to the debates that agitated the society of his time, Santos filled his fiction works with devotions in vogue - cults of saints, angels, souls in purgatory -; he spontaneously contributed to the exaltation of the "pietas austriaca" - especially the Immaculate Conception, the Holy Eucharist and the Holy Cross -; he multiplied in his texts the appeals to charity and moral order, the reflections on the cost of living, on the attempts at reform made by the Monarchy. Poor, he showed poverty with dignity.Santos enjoyed considerable commercial success during his lifetime and into the 19th century, both in Spain and abroad. He inspired Lesage, Torres Villarroel and Lizardi. Since the twentieth century, he has been of interest to various bibliographers and literary specialists, who see his production as an early expression of costumbrism or as an epiphenomenon of the picaresque. In this regard, fragmentary studies and occasional critical editions have been published. In 2017, García Santo-Tomás pointed out the absence of a global and in-depth work on Francisco Santos and his work. The present thesis remedies this, shedding new and comprehensive light on the social, editorial, political, economic and religious issues that a humble Spaniard faced in building a career as a professional writer in the last third of the 17th century. This study thus contributes to refining knowledge about Spanish society, narrative prose fiction, its materiality, and the historiography of Spain

Full textFounded at the end of the thirteenth century by the Earls of Ferrette [Pfirt] and fallen thereafter under the rule of the Habsburg, the town of Thann had an ambiguous status, because it was at the same time a seigniorial town and the chief-town of the seigniory (the bailiwick of Thann counted up to 42 villages). As a seigniorial town Thann was placed under the dependency of the Habsburg, but it benefited from a significant level of autonomy, comparable to certain Imperial towns. Being wealthy, and since 1486 the headquarter of a treasury, Thann could be considered as the true economic capital of the Austrian Upper Alsace. It even ruled over the villages under its responsibility with an authority that made it almost the equivalent of a territorial ruler. The community of villages suffered from the supervision by the Thann people, especially concerning tax distribution and the reglementation of rural craftwork. Its remarkable geographic location also had a noticeable impact upon Thann. Situated at the mouth of the Thur Valley, it controlled the road leading to the Bussang pass and was erected on one of the main trade routes between the Empire and the Kingdom of France. The linguistic limits were meandering indeed within Thann bailiwick itself. Thus, five "welche" (French-speaking) villages belonged to the bailiwick. Knowledge of the French language was rather prevalent in Thann, as being bilingual was a prerequisite for all elected officials willing to reach high-level positions. From the religious point of view, in the seventeenth century Thann asserted itself as one of the main strongholds of the Catholic counter-Reformation movement in Upper Alsace

Full textThrough various sources, including Karl von Zinzendorf’s diary (written without respite from 1748 to 1813), an analysis of his readings, working sheets and correspondence with his brother Ludwig, this thesis deals with education and training of a new kind of high rank officers under Maria Theresia. Reading of economic literature and press is aimed at training them to a new practice of government. From a protestant family who fled from Austria at the time of the counter-reformation, narrowly connected with aristocracy and trained as "gens de finances", they succeed in coming back to prominent positions. Heads of the hofrechenkammer, their projects (states bank, public debt management, reform of land registry and taxes), however based on technical improvements are true political moves: all these matters (and their fates highlight the gap between the court and the stande (diets). Acting both as nobles and state civil servants, they conceive a kind of political project which is rejected by their competitors at the head of the government as well by the stande
Sellin, Maxime. "Le Coran de Bellús : étude introductive et édition des notes interlinéaires." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Nantes Université, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024NANU2014.
Full textThe Bellús Quran (Munich, BSB, cod.arab 7) is a Quranic manuscript copied in 1518 by Mudejars from the region of Valencia, currently preserved at the Bavarian State Library in Munich. It is particularly notable for its interlinear and marginal annotations, written by evangelists attempting to persuade the Muslims of Aragon to convert to Christianity. After being in the possession of Cardinal Egidio of Viterbo, this document was later passed on to his pupil Johann Albrecht Widmanstetter. At a time when the war between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires was at its height, this manuscript reflects both the importance of the Quran for the last Muslims of Spain and the interest that Aragonese evangelists and 16th-century humanists had in the study of the Quranic text. This manuscript is one of the last dated and localized copies of the Quran in Arabic from near Valencia. The codicological study reveals the method used by the scribes to transcribe the sacred Islamic text, providing insight into the Quranic tradition of the Mudejars. By comparing it to other texts acquired by Giles of Viterbo and Johann Albrecht Widmanstetter, we can trace the manuscript's journey from the Kingdom of Aragon to the Papal States, and ultimately from Rome to Munich. The analysis of the marginal and interlinear annotations offers a deeper understanding of the evangelical rhetoric employed by the annotators, as well as their in-depth work on the Arabic language. This Quran, like other Quranic manuscripts, was a prestigious document, playing a key role in the dynamics of influence between Catholics and Protestants on the eve of the Catholic Reformation

Full textThis thesis recounts the story and the circumstances of the manuscript transmission of the political satires in verse attributed to the count of Villamediana and proposes a philological reflexion on the way of editing this work.It presents a critical anthology composed of ninety four poems written in the reign of Philip III and the beginning in the reign of Philip IV against the Valido and his factions,accompanied by a critical apparatus which contains textual variants and many notes relying on unpublished historical sources. This critical anthology offers a historical study of the ideological content of the satires, showing their role on public opinion. It is also a literary study of their poetics focusing more specifically on the epigram seen as the support of different varieties of conceptos, exploring the sources of this work - mainly the Latin satire and the Spanish poetry of the fifteenth century – and placing the political satire back in the work of Villamediana

Full textRelying on free pardons delivered by the Hasbourg Monarchy from 1564 to 1700, a corpus of 453 homicides committed in Castile and Leon was established. The pardon is delivered out of a Royal privilege, sometimes in exchange of a sum of money, under the express condition that the family had already granted its pardon (aparamiento). This implies the existence of some infrajudiaciary arrangements parallel to the official legal procedures. After the establishment of a data based on cases' copies enclosed to the pardon request, it is to be underlined that the beneficiaries are rather wealthy and living in cities, who usually settle their accounts on the streets, by night and using their swords on their adversaries' heads or chests. The thrusts are deadly in most of the cases. Violence is most of the time the outcome of a ritual in which the code of honour plays a major role but it could also be out of a mere reaction

Full textThis study is based upon the serial analysis of four thousand people convicted by the Spanish Inquisition. This group of people is characterized by determined written accounts of ordinary acts ofd faitch-"autos de fe particulares"- compiled in registers. This registers are genuine police files, each convict being classified according to ten or so systematized characteristics ranging from identity to profession and description. This document is in line witch the "data bank of the holly office" taken from the extensive collection of the Inquisition's archives. The quantitative analysis of these archives allows the following: 1)- a better knowledge of the activity of the Castilian kingdom's tribunals from 1660 to 1730 (which until recently has not been a subject of much study) covering the entire reign of Charles II and the first reign of Philip V. - 2)-a fairly accurate percentage of the crimes punished by the tribunals. - 3)- the evaluation of the precise relationship between a given punishment and a given crime. The majority of cryptojudaizers-seven convicts of ten- thus emerging from this evaluation, enables us to define a sort of "diffused community" in the heart of Spanish society of the time, thanks to these sociological and anthropological givens. Beyond the quantitative, aided by the wealth of annex documents available (in particular the correspondences exchanged between the tribunals and the supreme council-"la suprema"-). We have tried to discover the individual, and how the inquisitorial experience or test actually affected the convict's life. By combining the social study of the auto de fe's corpus and that of the…

Full textAt the turn of the 19th century, Teplitz was a well-known spa at the border between North Bohemia and Saxony. It was also part of the seignorial estates of the Clary-Aldringen family who had been promoted to Princely House in 1767. The first Princes of Clary- Aldringen led an aristocratic way of life in their palaces in Vienna and Prague and in their castle in Teplitz. The letters and diaries written by Charles Joseph of Clary-Aldringen provide essential information to understand how this aristocratic family faced the challenges of the revolutions and restorations in Central Europe. Those were unstable times when political and social powers became questioned while new nations were emerging in central Europe.What is at stake then in their lives when the revolutionary upheavals unbalance the dynastic order in Europe? This research aims to analyse how this princely House managed to face the transformations in aristocratic culture at the end of the Holy Roman Empire and in the first decades of the Austrian empire. Indeed the Clary-Aldringen left a hoard of visual documents also with financial and administrative records, all showing the striking features of the “First Society” in the Habsburg monarchy. The archives lead us back to a period when amateur theatre, paintings and writings were given pride of place. The exceptional variety of the documents found allows us to better apprehend how the aristocrats of the Habsburg monarchy conceived their roles and their legitimacy in Europe during the period of revolutions and just before the Spring of the Peoples. One decisive key lies in the fact that this family kept travelling over Europe after 1792

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the little-known part of a Lorrain prince’s life during the 18th century; destiny brought him to the head of one of the most powerful state in Europe, the Holy Roman Germanic Empire. Francis Stephen of Lorraine was born in 1708 in the duchy of Lorraine where he stayed for the first years of his life, mainly at Luneville castle; then, in 1723, his father sent him to Austria, in Vienna, at the court of the Emperor Charles VI, where his education was to proceed. But more than the next step to his education, a complete shift and reorganisation in methods and contents were operated, shift intended by his father who wanted a political ascension for his son. The biographies about Francis are more focused on his adult’s life, when he reigned in Toscana, when he became Holy Emperor after the 1745 election or his duties as Maria-Theresia’s husband. However, his childhood and education are particularly little-known.Thus, the first part of this thesis deals with his surroundings when he was a child. Education is the result of several factors, among which are the old theories and ideas, although these ideas are constantly renewed; this renewing is due to the philosophical reflection on education which changed the methods and contents, particularly in the 18th century, with the new philosophy of Enlightenment. The material conditions are very important too, as well as the persons involved in his tuition: these persons could act like a new impulse to the development of his eagerness to learn or a break to his progress, or could direct teaching methods.Education can be multiform and cannot be considered a mere intellectual enrichment. Before dealing with his mind, his family’s attention was drawn to his body. The prince’s physical aspect, the mastery of his behaviour and manners are paramount assets at court. Still, the education of his mind wasn’t left apart. Very early, he was taught religious precepts, then the learning he needed to become a good ruler. Moreover, his relationships with other people were controlled and supervised, according to different levels of intimacy and the relation to others.To depict these three levels of education in two different worlds, I have chosen to study the methods, the resources, the goals and the persons that took part in his education. I have exploited sources mostly from two different archives, one in Vienna and the other one at the departmental archives of Meurthe-et-Moselle, in Nancy. With these records, I have studied Francis-Stephen‘s childhood and education. The conscious bivalence of his life is quite unusual for a prince; this raises the issue of the evolution of this education when Francis Stephen became an adult: a priori, he assimilated both ways of training, with no predominance of one over the other.Finally, one can also wonder if Francis Stephen ‘s bicultural education became a model for his children or if he didn’t want to educate his sons and daughters with both influences, and as well what were its consequences on the first years of his reign as an emperor in the long run

Full textSince the end of the World War II, the construction of Europe has united different states that used to be conflicting. That’s the way France and Germany go. While the concerned governments have tried to achieve the project of an entity with its own institutions for nearly sixty years, a close idea was already existed in the 19th-century, melting at least thirteen nationalities of Central Europe, formed by the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy to give them a chance to coexist in a same group. That’s how we can ask ourselves if the several institutions developed by the Austro-Hungarian politicians can be a useful example for the actual European decision-makers. Due to the difficulties caused by the nationality problem, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy has been disbanded, but passed the European feeling that was already going around to its successor: the Republic of Austria. Even if it has been pushed aside from European policy for a long time because of, notably, the Declaration of Neutrality from 1955 that the USSR imposed to regain its independence, Austria has probably managed to reach the same position of strength since its entry in 1995 in the European Union as the Austria-Hungarian monarchy succeeded to possess before it dies after the First World War. The will that the countries of Central Europe can be under its rule has been felt during the two last Austria’s European Union Council Presidencies in 1998 and 2006

Full textAt the beginning of the 20th Century the most important Jewish community in Europe, - Russia non included - is at home in the Habsburg Empire. Their members are well-educated and very wealthy. Their wealth and their good education make them all the more vulnerable to anti-Semitism. During the 68 years of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph, Austrian anti-Semitism is held in limits by the sovereign. But after his death and the destruction of the Monarchy anti-Semitism gets the upper hand and eventually destroys Austrian Judaism. Our study should enable the reader to become aware that Judaism in Austria-Hungary is an integral part of Austrian history. Their presence in the country is first acknowlegded by official writings in 906, long before the Empire itself was created. The reader will get acquainted with the daily life of this population in cities as well as in villages. It will therefore be easier for him to understand why Austrian Jews consider the reign of Joseph II as their period of emancipation and the reign of Franz Joseph I as their golden age.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the exercise of the power of the Burgundian and Habsburg princes in the Duchy of Luxembourg from the definitive seizure of power by Philipp the Good until, roughly speaking, the 1530s. The political and social integration of the Duchy of Luxembourg and its subjects into the Burgundian and Habsburg territorial complex is a slow process that began at the beginning of the 15th century. At first, historiography, memory and the state of research were considered in the long term (15th to 21st century). This study made it possible to outline the foundations and evolution of the “national” narrative and to contextualise the state of research with all the necessary precautions. The following three chapters attempt to shed light on issues of integration and participation as well as identity formation from different perspectives. The study on the vectors of princely ideology first traced the vectors of the symbolic policy deployed by the Burgundian and Habsburg princes in the Duchy of Luxembourg. The wide range of examples has left no doubt about the systematic use of a multitude of media (processions, rumours, images, etc.) whose real effectiveness must, however, often remain questionable. Rumours and misinformation have been identified as a tool for legitimising political power. Then, we examine the question of the integration of subjects, noble or not, into the grouping of domination. It should be stressed that the integration of the Duchy of Luxembourg was a process of political incorporation. The participation and collaboration within the Duchy of Luxembourg should not be underestimated. Moments of dispute were the exception, not the rule. In this sense, our research has above all made it possible to trace the image of a country that had quickly become accustomed to orders and rallied to the political projects of its new dynasty. Fidelity to the prince was contractual and the granting of favours (pensions, goods, functions, etc.) was seen as a sign of recognition. At the local level, intermediary institutions as well as individuals and/or social groups (urban, noble) defended their interests (economic and fiscal advantages, rights and privileges, etc.), but were also seeking security, regulation or even professionalisation. With the fourth chapter, we propose a study of identity issues at the dawn of modern times. Starting from the premise that identities are always “constructions” and not concrete realities, we first carried out a terminological study, then, in accordance with a constructivist approach, we sought to identify identity references at the scale of the Duchy of Luxembourg and at the regional scale based on the examples of the former counties of Chiny and La Roche-en-Ardenne. Undoubtedly, a single identity did not exist and only a fragment of the plurality of identity referents is revealed to today’s historian

Full textJoseph Roth (1894-1939), Jewish Austrian writer and journalist between the two World wars, born in the Oriental Galicia, is considered as the defender of the Hapsburg Monarchy, through his famous novels like The March of Radetzky. The purpose of this work is to focus on the scarcely known or not at all known texts, clearly identified as short stories, and to show that Joseph Roth was not a mythomaniac, blind defender of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, but a burning defender of humble people, while fighting for the respect of the Hapsburg Monarchy and against the rise of the National Socialism, through the coded message of the symbolism in his short stories. We looked for traces of the historic facts and the social, economic and political problems in the short stories through the study of the symbols and the myths. We considered the texts as revelations of certain aspects of the modern world and the evolution of the society, also described by Joseph Roth as being still immobile and ill. Finally, we saw that the author, having turned away from any political party, fights up to the end against the Nazism in his life of committed writer, exiled in Paris, through the journalistic texts and through the short stories like The Leviathan. Each short story is the frame with multiple facets of an entertaining fiction, a humanist message, a sociohistorical report or a modern, traditional, biblical or fantastic tale. It is also a foreword so that the reader remains clear-sighted, in front of deceitful seductions of the powerful and the politics, as well as the technical progress

Full textThe dissertation thesis deals with the formation of an enlightened monarchy idea on the example of French ideas of the Habsburg state and of their utilization in the French political discursus. As it results from the postulate that this idea is not a uniform defined category, it aims to imply the mechanisms of its formation in practice, as social conventions, how the ideal monarchy should appear. On the particular examples of contemporary propagandism, public opinion or view of other persons, the practices of formation, usage and transformation of their models are followed, depending on various situations with participating of various persons involved. The work is divided into three parts; the first of which, on the basis of the French enlightened historical works analysis, the specific contemporary genre of anecdote and the specialised physiocratic periodicals follows the role of the Habsburg monarchy in the contemporary enlightenment argumentation. The second part is consecrated to a French traveller view of the Habsburg monarchy and the third part analyses the emperor's Joseph II journey to France form the viewpoint of the French public opinion and the discursus for the legitimisation of the ruler, which this event gave incentive

Full textFrom a corpus of fifteen buildings and architectural projects in twelve cities located east of the border of the Holy Roman Empire, this dissertation endeavours to shed light on the question of the creation of an architectural programme specific to public theatre. Running counter to a certain historiographical tradition centred on auditorium reform and the progressive monumentalization of the theatre, this study examines how theatrical productions determined architectural distributions and conditioned the demands made upon such buildings. To this end, the analyses of the various architectural modes of expression are grounded in the social and administrative history of performances. This approach investigates the various parties involved in the realization of each new public theatre as well as the roles played by public administrators and the cultural press in encouraging the building projects and making information about the existing buildings available. By highlighting actors often neglected by architectural historians and modes of circulation specific to the imperial context, the process of transferring architectural knowledge may be questioned anew. The new avenues thus opened make it possible to extend the chronology of the emancipation of the architecture specific to the public theatres in Central Europe fifty years earlier, also shedding light on such forgotten typologies as the théâtres-redoute and the theatre-inns. Finally, this methodological perspective allows for a greater understanding of the political exploitation of the durable nature of theatre architecture toward the formation of an imaginary ‘civilised Europe’ promoted by the theatrical elite of the Holy Roman Empire

Full textThe history of an ancient noble family originally from lorraine that emigrated at the time of the french revolution and established itself, under the new name of mensdorff-pouilly, in the habsburg empire and, later, in bohemia and in moravia, where it remains to this day. The integration of the family was facilitated thanks as much to its marital strategies (union with the saxe-coburgs and, later, with the dietrichsteins) as to the talents and abilities of its members (ascension to the highest military and political posts of the monarchy). The latter are represented by three generations, each studied against the background of the evolution of habsburg society from the end of the 18th century to the first decades of the 20th century. It is a question of the penetration of the moral values of the enlightenment, of the social change between nobility and bourgeoisie, of the struggle of the nobility to remain in a position of eminence and of the relative decline of the latter. Rich sources taken from family archives, in particular the abundant correspondence, permit the analysis of other problems associated with the socio-psychological the values of the family among which the superiority of the notion of honor, the strategies, the relationships, friendships, the unity of the family in the narrow and wide senses of the word. The image of the family is completed by the analysis of the political positions of its members (among other things their attitude towards the question of nationalities) as well as by the study of the economic development of family properties

Full textFrom 1619 to 1740, the funeral speeches in praise of the Habsburgs were used, especially by the Jesuits, as a mean to extol the values of the Counter-Reformation. The Austrian court is described as the "shield of Christendom" against Islam, as the incarnation of the pietas austriaca against reasons of the State. This work exposes the theory of funeral orations from Ancient Greece and Rome to the Enlightenment and then focuses on the production of imperial funeral orations. Those speeches are first replaced in the context of imperial funeral rites. There follows an analysis of the rhetorical devices which are used to draw the ideal portrait of the Christian prince. In this allegorical discourse, which is common to baroque literature and art, the society of the Habsburg Monarchy is reflected and magnified through praise and eloquence. Simultaneously, this discourse brings to life the society it represents: the prince is made to believe in this own mythical figure

Full textNoble society in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown knew from 1620 to the 1650’s considerable transformations. The radical change in its structure was in part linked to the arrival of new families from mostly German speaking nobility. These families weren’t the only ones to look for career and fortune at the service of the Emperor. There were also many Spanish, Irish and Scottish noble families, the families that came from Spanish Holland and the French lineages. These ones originated from an important geographical area containing French regions of Burgundy, Provence, Artois and Hainaut with the town of Cambrai, Lorraine and going up to Savoy. Indeed, this type of migratory phenomenon extended largely its boundaries and we cannot limit the study to only the French because the culture and language were more important than origin. Yet, there is no analytical study of this type of migration and it remains widely neglected. The purpose of this study was to show the particular destiny of one nobleman in the Czech Crown Lands (specifically in the Margraviat of Moravia), Jean Louis Ratuit de Souches (1608-1682). Being a contemporary of the great and better-known military celebrities, such as Le Grand Condé, Raimondo Montecuccoli, Gustave-Adolphe or Turenne, Jean Louis Ratuit de Souches also accomplished great feats that must be studied. Born into small Huguenot nobility in La Rochelle, he pursued a career at the service of the Habsburgs. As a soldier, he often fought for the protestant cause, first in La Rochelle, his hometown, against the troops of Louis 13th, then with the Swedish army against the imperials. Later on, he became one of Ferdinand 3rd ’s general, then one of Leopold 1st ’s by using his knowledge of the enemy’s tactics to fight the Swedish and the French. Although he came from a modest household, he rose to be considered as one of the greatest military leaders at the time and amassed a considerable fortune earning him much respect but also criticism and jealousy from the Army and the Viennese Court. To be a part of this new milieu, Jean Louis Ratuit de Souches converted and to prove his faith, he even constructed a place of pilgrimage on his Moravian lands. Contrary to many of his fellow citizens, he deeply influenced the country’s History and his legend lived on after his death: there are countless stories, paintings and all kinds of monuments and festivities in his honor. However yet today, a lot of his personal and public life still unknown. These studies have also given a chance to conceive a catalog of biographical and bibliographical archives regarding the French speaking families that lived in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown between 1618 and 1740. The catalog guides us through this particular migratory phenomenon and may be the starting point of future studies

Full textBetween 1477 and 1493, the Burgundian state was confronted with the most serious crisis of its history. Against Louis XI, the successors of Charles the Bold had to defend the territorial integrity of his heritage. Within the Burgundian Netherlands, they were challenged by the claims of the largest Flemish and Brabantine cities, who promoted a political agenda based on urban autonomy. Besides the political background, the economic environment raised other difficulties, owing to the general high level of wages, which dramatically increased the cost of war at the end of the XVth century. The fiscal and military structures of the Burgundian state quickly found their limits and collapsed several times, forcing Maximilian’s captains to live by one’s wits, requisitioning supplies, extorting money or plundering the countryside, so that the inability of the medieval state to lastingly finance war invariably led to outbursts of violence. After the defeat of the Flemish-Brabantine revolt, the political integration of the Habsburg-Burgundian Netherlands made continuous progress. The rise of a common tax system, discussed at the States-General, without offending the strong particularism of the Netherlands principalities, played a crucial role in this process

Full textAt the beginning of the 18th century, Hungary and the Southern Netherlands are coveted by the French diplomacy. Those peripheral provinces of The Habsburg Empire oppose the centralization policy lead by Madrid and Vienna. In order to realize his dynastic ambitions, Louis XIV uses this context to destabilize these territories during the War of the Spanish Succession triggered by the death of the last Habsburg King of Spain, Charles II, the first November 1700. Louis XIV mobilizes his army and his ambassadors in the continuity of the foreign alliances « Alliance de revers » that have been conducted during centuries. The marquis des Alleurs and the president Pierre Rouillé de Marbeuf, agents of Louis XIV, half spy, half ambassadors, are respectively send in Hungary nearby the rebel prince François Rakoczi and in the Southern Netherlands nearby the general governor of the province and Elector of Bavaria, Maximilien-Emmanuel de Wittelsbach. Far from the din of the battlefield of the Spanish Succession, another war hardens. The battle for information’s became the first preoccupation of European courts. The confidentiality of the epistolary correspondences is a crucial object of attention. The purpose of this study is to define the framework of the French ambitions in Hungary and the Southern Netherlands at the beginning of the 18th century. The « alliance de revers » and military moves during the War of the Spanish Succession replace those two European countries at the heart of dynastic, diplomatic and military conflicts opposing the Bourbon’s and the Habsburg’s for European hegemony

Full textAt the end of World War I, France is a major actor of the transformation of old Austria-Hungary and becomes one of the main protectors of Austria through several international commitments; yet no treaty ever connects the two countries. The French policy on Austria is generally admitted to be : neither Habsburg, nor Anschluss. In 1930 Otto von Habsburg, the son of the last emperor, attains the age of majority ; so the issue of restauration appears again to be a major problem in Europe. At the same time, many plans and projects are discussed to reorganize Central Europe, as a possible alternative to the come back of the Habsburg family. With Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in Germany in 1933, France has to make up clear decisions, since Hitler's goal is to achieve the unification of Austria with Germany. The French government has to decide whether to support or not the Austrian government, getting authoritative in order to fight against nazi propaganda and terrorism. Many people in France are quite in favour of the cause of the independence of Austria. Yet the French government doesn't make any decisive choices to defend it, in particular because of ideological reasons. The French policy is also confined to an all-economic conception of international relations in Central Europe, and under-estimates the problems of national identity existing between Austria and Germany. The lack of a reflection on the specificities of an Austrian nation to be built tends to be of a great advantage for Germany, which praises for the idea of a common « germanism » for both countries. The Anschluss is made without any real French reaction, as a consequence of more than ten years of political contradictions ; thus it prepares the symbolical defeat of Munich

Full textMary of Burgundy (1457-1482) as ruler seems to be rather a non sequitur topic for a study as her short reign – sandwiched between those more important of her belligerent father, Charles the Bold, and her imposing spouse, Maximilian of Austria – is often marginalized by researchers. A somewhat ambiguous figure, whose image hovers somewhere in the space limited by two opposing concepts – an inexperienced and weak duchess, a mere pawn in the great political game played between France and the Holy Roman Empire, and a self-determined young princess who knew what she wanted and managed to dictate her will, praised by her biographers, Mary still remains generally in the shade of her nearest kinsmen despite the abundant publications concerning the Duchy of Burgundy.This attitude towards Mary was mainly formed by the politics of her successors and descendants, who employed her image in their own interests; eager to legitimize the transition of power from the House of Valois to that of the Habsburgs, they opted for the representation of Mary as the heiress of Burgundy, a noble and pious lady devoted to her family, and not as an independent sovereign. This image of “Mary the Rich” appears to be so powerful that often historians focus their attention primarily on Maximilian, thus – involuntarily or not – making him the main hero of the Burgundian epic of the crisis years. The real situation was, however, more complex. Never in fact retired from political life, never ceasing to travel across her lands in order to ensure and state the ubiquity of ducal authority, Mary was taking great care in creating and promoting her image, sending out to her contemporaries easily recognizable signs communicating her strong sense of who she was and how she wished to be seen. Recollected and examined with closer attention, these symbolic messages could depict a different image of this “lady of the country”, who was “revered and feared more than her husband”, according to the omniscient Philippe de Commynes, and reveal the clear political and cultural intentions she wanted to convey. Based on a number of important works of literature, history and iconography associated with the duchess as well as on various accounts on her, provided either by her contemporaries or – in a certain manner – by herself, principally through performing highly symbolic acts or through artistic commissions, the present research aims thus to reassess the person and the actual role of Mary of Burgundy in the history of the Burgundian state

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to analyse the representations of happiness in fictional works of Central Europe. Our work originates from the observation that today we seem to have engaged in an almost hysterical quest for happiness, which can take on an infinite number of forms and approaches. This diversity seems to cancel out the idea that happiness has a universal character despite the commonplace which says that all men seek to be happy. Happiness is the object of study of history, philosophy sociology, anthropology, psychology, theology, but also linguistics, economy and politics. Thus, defining the concept of happiness requires a multitude of perspectives, objective and subjective.Our study starts from the assumption that literature offers new interpretations to the idea of happiness. We aim to analyse it according to two axes: the nature of happiness and the components of happiness. Literature, thanks to its ability to bring together within fictional universes elements relating to history, to culture, to the examination of the depths of the ego – elements which are nourished by the collective memory and philosophical insights – offers us access to the past worlds of happiness. Seeking to define the idea of happiness, we have thus chosen to study Central European literature and the works of authors originating from countries that used to be part of the Austro-Hungarian empire because of its cultural richness that allows us to identify a more complex version of happiness. More specifically we look at the works of novelists from Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Transylvania, Banat, Serbia, Bucovina, Galicia, Bosnia, Croatia and Italy, that were published during the 19th century all the way to the years before the Second World War. Their works describe and analyze the quest for happiness, and its successes and failures. Comparative analysis allows us to redefine happiness, distinguishing between its constant or universal character and its variable or fluid characteristics. Thus, our thesis identifies both the idea of happiness as conveyed by the Austro-Hungarian society since the 1800s and the experience of happiness as it described through literature. The latter enables us to establish the image of happiness of those times: from the center part of the Empire to its margins, multiculturalism allows us to grasp the problematic of happiness in all its complexity, encompassing both a common history and characteristics particular to different national identities.Our analysis highlights the diversity of types of happiness, depending on external factors (the influence of social environment, customs, education, human relationships, cultural heritage, etc.) and internal factors (the influence of features proper to happiness such as duration, recipient, its affiliation to pleasure, to desire or to the meaning of life, etc.). These literary representations of happiness help identify the variable components that emerge from the idea of happiness, while the crisis that comes with the First World War reconfigures the temporal dynamics happiness, allowing for a better grasp of the essence of happiness

Tightly linked with internal conditions such as Austro- Hungarian politics and economics, the central theme of this work concerns the emergence of the social phenomenon of dandysm in Vienna at the beginning of the XXth century. Remarquably modern, the social figure of the dandy is studied following the ideal-typical method, a legacy of Max Weber. Following the sociological writings of Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Robert Michels, the typical portrait of the four socio-economic figures such as the bourgeois, the proletarian, the bohemian and the aristocrat allows, in the first part of the thesis (chapter two), to show the features and to conceptually delineate the figure of the dandy. Once this portrait is forged, it is possible to compare the Viennese reality with the case of the poet Stefan Zweig. The appearance of the dandy, at the end of the Habsburg monarchy, is not alien to many external conditions that are themselves particularly linked to this first part of the XXth century, marked notably by nationalism and World War I. Discussed in the second part of the thesis (chapter three), the economic conditions, that are expressed with either literature or journalism, reflect this social phenomenalization in which the dandy takes part. The study of the social appearance of the dandy being at the very center of this study, the present thesis seeks to understand this phenomenon through a sociological biography of the writer and poet Stefan Zweig. In the fourth and fifth chapter, highlights of his biography meet its social resonance with dandysm through the man itself, his work, his life and the way he lived it. Finally, the influence of aesthetics and philosophy on dandy’s life, especially following Friedrich Nietzsche’s very own word and ideas, will be presented as well as the importance of values of pacifism and cosmopolitism, as influences of Jewish religion. In conclusion, I return to the ideal- type of dandy by questioning its usefulness in understanding contemporary phenomena.
Die Österreichisch-Ungarische Monarchie (1867-1918) war eines der letzten europäischen Reiche, welches mit dem Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges kollabierte. Eng verbunden mit wirtschaftlichen und politischen Bedingungen des k.u.k. Österreichs, handelt das zentrale Thema dieser Arbeit von der Entstehung der sozialen Phänomene rund um den Dandyismus in Wien zu Beginn des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Die soziale Figur des Dandy wird nach dem idealtypis- chen Konzept Max Webers untersucht. Anlehnend an die soziologischen Schriften von Karl Marx, Max Weber und Robert Michels, dem typischen Porträt der vier sozioökonomischen Zahlen, wie der Bürger, der Proletarier, die Boheme und der Aristokrat gestatten, dass im ersten Teil der Abschlussarbeit (Kapitel zwei) die Figur des Dandys konzeptionell beschrieben wird. Auf dieses Porträt aufbauend wird es möglich, die herausgearbeiteten Merkmale mit der Wiener Realität zu vergleichen. Die Texte des Dichters Stefan Zweig geben dazu genug Material. Das Aussehen des Dandys am Ende der Habsburgermonarchie ist passend zu vielen äußeren Bedin- gungen, die besonders mit dem ersten Teil des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts verbunden sind. Speziell werden diese vom Nationalismus und dem Ersten Weltkrieg beeinflusst. Im zweiten Teil der Abschlussarbeit (Kapitel drei) werden die wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen, die entweder mit Literatur oder Journalismus zum Ausdruck kommen, und die die soziale phenomenalization vom Dandy wiederspiegeln, beleuchtet. Die Untersuchung der sozialen Erscheinung des Dandy dient als Basis dieser Studie. Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht, das Phänomen des Dandyismus durch eine soziologische Biographie des Schriftstellers und Dramatikers Stefan Zweig zu verstehen. In den Kapiteln vier und fünf treffen die Höhepunkte seiner Biographie die gesellschaftliche Reso- nanz des Dandyismus auf den Mensch selbst, seine Arbeit, sein Leben und seine Lebensart. Schlussendlich wird der Einfluss von Ästhetik und Philosophie auf das Leben eines Dandy vor allem nach den Worten und Ideen von Friedrich Nietzsche präsentiert, sowie die Bedeutung der Werte des Pazifismus und Kosmopolitismus, als auch Einflüsse der jüdischen Religion. Ich kehre zum Idealtyp des Dandys zurück, indem ich seine Nützlichkeit in gegenwärtigen Phänomenen in Frage stelle.
