The normative construct of the body flâneur was a discursive practice, normalising the male gaze in media representations in period still poor on visual representations. It gave authors an opportunity to describe, in detail and in an educated manner, female bodies as aesthetic objects. It had a twofold educational function. First, the body flâneur taught readers, both female and male, what the ideal female body looked like and how it could be detailed in words, but also that the woman was a natural object of scrutiny, and a field of expertise. Second, it presented to readers to various conceivable female reactions to being stared at.","PeriodicalId":45240,"journal":{"name":"Cultural & Social History","volume":"29 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135037427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasing urban population and thriving city-centred culture prompted urban greenspaces in Nanjing to assume additional social and cultural functions, contributing to the multi-level and multi-functional development of the city’s greenspaces under commercialised and popularised aesthetics and landscaping theories. Meanwhile, under the political principle of ‘sharing the pleasures with the public’, the imperial court and local officials attached importance to landscaping, using urban gardens as a tool to achieve political and cultural control and social edification.KEYWORDS: Urban greenspaceNanjingsong dynasty Chinacity-centred culturesocial control Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

{"title":"Unfairness at the Funfair: The French Syndicate for Travelling Showpeople in the Long Nineteenth Century","authors":"Eva Andersen","doi":"10.1080/14780038.2023.2271197","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14780038.2023.2271197","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe article explores the historical significance and agency of itinerant showpeople, a marginalised and frequently overlooked community, in the late 19th century. Focusing on the French Chambre Syndicale Patronale des Voyageurs Forains (CSPVF) and its journal Le Voyageur Forain, this study sheds light on the struggle of showpeople to safeguard their economic interests, counter societal prejudices, and gain respectability in society. The CSPVF, Europe’s first employers’ association of this kind, played a pivotal role in supporting itinerant entrepreneurs. By analysing the CSPVF’s organisational structure, professional networks, and efforts at integration, the article underscores the socio-economic dynamics of the era and between individuals positioned at the perceived centre and periphery of society. Drawing on union periodicals, the study examines the CSPVF’s objectives and internal dynamics, the initiatives aimed at professionalising the itinerant showpeople’s trade and its influence on economic policies. Additionally, the research explores the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion encountered by showpeople within and outside their community and their strategies to combat stigmatisation while seeking respectability. By addressing these themes, the article contributes to a broader understanding of labour history, syndicalism, and the interplay of social identity and economic pressures in the itinerant entertainment industry during the late nineteenth century.KEYWORDS: Itinerant showpeoplefunfairstigmatisationemployers associationrespectability AcknowledgementI want to thank the two reviewers, and my colleagues Nele Wynants, Elisa Seghers, Ilja Van Damme and Hilde Greefs for their valuable feedback.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.
