Objet d’art, il fait intervenir plusieurs corporations, voire plusieurs pays. À partir du modèle extrême-oriental (prolongé en chinoiseries) transmis par l’Italie puis du goût français secondé par les artisans huguenots exilés, des écoles naissent, surtout en Italie, France, Angleterre, Pays-Bas. Les peintres célèbres ne peignent pas d’éventails, mais offrent des modèles aux graveurs ou sont copiés. Objet de mode, l’éventail respecte les conventions sociales. Faute de véritable ‘langage de l’éventail’, il est signifiant par son maniement comme par son apparence. Celle-ci s’adapte aux circonstances de la vie publique et privée, et les sujets évoquent le mariage ou la galanterie mais aussi la scène, les événements du moment et même la politique, tout en étant souvent imprégnés de la culture littéraire de l’époque.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"84 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106814Z.00000000041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65824305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is possible to read these as three vignettes depicting gallant sociability in elite society: the very sociability in which the fan played a crucial role. Our interpretation must change, however, if we acknowledge both the ‘missing’ senses of taste and touch not directly depicted on the fan, and the fan’s reverse, a rural scene of a couple. The play of absent and present senses, and the tension between the courtly vignettes of the primary image and its humbler other side, suggest also a possible ‘fluttering’ of signification, not unlike the motion of a fan itself, which may undo some of the gallant visual rhetoric which at first glance appears to dominate an understanding of this fan.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"18 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106814Z.00000000036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65824274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effective repudiation of St Augustine’s teachings on grace, to which the church would never openly admit, was largely driven by the pastoral needs of the Catholic Reform, yet the Jansenists, themselves determined but conservative supporters of such reform, could never accept such compromises with the world. For all the charm of his writings, Pascal advocated an austere form of Christianity which reflected both his own deep inner tensions and the radical pessimism of Jansenism.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"125 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106813Z.00000000029","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65823971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En nous appuyant sur des écrits de Pascal, sa sœur Jacqueline, Jansénius et surtout Saint-Cyran, nous montrerons cependant que les jansénistes ne vivent ni dans la haine de soi, ni dans l’angoisse perpétuelle de l’abandon. Pour comprendre ce qui fonde leur confiance en Dieu, il faut donner son importance au baptême qui restaure la bonté originelle de l’homme, au Prince de ce monde qui menace de le faire déchoir à nouveau, et à l’Église qui est le milieu dans lequel l’homme peut échapper au Diable.

It first emphasizes the strata in Pascal’s exegesis of the Decree on justification of the Council of Trent. For Pascal, a logico-grammatical analysis of the proposition ‘God’s commandments are not impossible’ is enough to refute its Molinist interpretation as a permanent power. But, strategically, the Écrits sur la grâce make Molinism a theological error symmetrical to the negation of actual grace by Lutheranism. The same error recurs structurally in theology: Molinists vs Lutherans are to be considered as the new Pelagians vs new Manicheans. The second part of the article focuses on the question that Pascal claims to have considered fully in the Écrits: God’s ‘double délaissement’ of man. The article shows that the target, when asserting the dependence of continued justification on continued prayer (while this latter is not in man’s power) is to differentiate true Augustinism from pseudo-Augustinism.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"106 - 115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106813Z.00000000027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65823174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
