Visiting castrati also performed in France during Mazarin's attempts at importing Italian opera during the 1640s and 1650s, and when they visited the French court as part of their travels around Europe. Meanwhile, the majority of Frenchmen and women who heard castrati sing in Italy found their performances compelling. Drawing on the writings of two French authors who held contrasting views on the castrato, I focus on the question of the castrato's suitability for the role of on-stage operatic lover (praised by the Abbé Raguenet), set against the backdrop of his ability to perform sexually off stage (questioned by Charles Ancillon). Within the Italian tradition, the castrato emerges as being eminently suited to the young lover who comes of age by becoming a hero thanks to his unique combination of femininity, masculinity and youthfulness. Off stage, the castrato is revealed to have a highly complex sexual identity that calls into question received ideas about the nature of sex, its relationship to procreation, and especially to female desire.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"152 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/026510610X12857561930796","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65819063","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}

A Would-Be Turk: Louis XIV in Le Bourgeois gentilhomme 想要成为土耳其人的路易十四

In this article, I argue that Molière's comedy-ballet can be read as a pointed satire of how Hugues de Lionne, the foreign minister, and the king received the Ottoman envoy in their official audiences, and of French foreign policy with the Ottoman state itself. The mummery involved in Lionne's receiving Süleyman as the 'Grand Vizier' of France, and the king's pretence in expecting to be viewed as a crusading monarch while diligently pursuing commercial relations with the Porte, provided Molière with ample material for satirical development. The oriental trappings of the work, especially of the Turkish ceremony, might thus be considered as a means to mirror and criticize French governmental policies and behaviour rather than as a proto-colonialist attempt imaginatively to represent the Ottoman Turk.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"101 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/026510610X12713438444792","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65818702","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 galleys were a baroque theatre of power, which were intended to represent the King's glory. But Protestant galley slaves positioned themselves, by means of their narratives, as witnesses, whose wounded bodies spoke not of glory but of abuse of power, and in this way they subverted the representational function of the galleys. However, the role of the witness, which they ascribe to themselves, is problematic, because developments in the experimental sciences meant that the witness was perceived at the time as a dispassionate observer. Yet bearing witness to limit experiences requires affect. The article studies the way this problem is addressed in the interplay between the narrative construct of the first- and the second-degree witnesses in one Protestant galley slave narrative, which tells the story of Louis de Marolles. The body, whether the symbolic body of the King, the mystical body of Christ, or the wounded body of the galley slave, is a shifting sign, which gives insight into the competing political and religious discourses of the day.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"18 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/026510610X12713438444558","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65818481","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 effet, elle a appris que deux d'entre eux avaient essayé de modifier, sans consultation aucune, les règlements de l'établissement reposant sur un amalgame des statuts des deux maisons d'origine (Paris et Bordeaux). Un peu plus d'une quinzaine d'années plus tard, c'est le vicaire apostolique nouvellement nommé, Mgr de Montmorency-Laval, qui va chercher à effectuer une même modification des statuts du couvent. Nous allons, dans cette étude, analyser la difficulté pour la supérieure ursuline de s'opposer à l'autorité religieuse masculine, et le déchirement intérieur que cette opposition fait naître en elle. Ce déchirement intérieur fait cependant rapidement place, chez la religieuse, à une obligation de résister, ainsi qu'elle décrit son attitude dans sa correspondance. En quoi consiste cette obligation de résister et, une fois mise en pratique, à quels résultats va-t-elle aboutir? Cet esprit d'opposition ne trouve-t-il pas en partie son origine dans le fait que la sæur soit une ursuline, dont la vocation est de prier et aussi d'enseigner, mais encore dans le fait qu'elle ait été veuve et indépendante très jeune, et qu'elle ait assumé des responsabilités importantes dans l'entreprise de son beau-frère avant d'entrer en religion?","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"102 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/026510610X12713438444837","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65818729","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}

Le contexte franco-anglais leur fournit un cadre privilégié pour s'exprimer sur ce point. Les huguenots sont d'abord horrifiés des événements de la guerre civile, et notamment de l'offense faite à Charles Ier; sous la Restauration, Sorbière, ancien huguenot et libertin érudit, voit son livre interdit pour avoir évoqué l'instabilité du régime en Angleterre. Après 1685 et 1688, l'opinion sur l'Angleterre divise la communauté huguenote: soutenir la cause anglaise revient à abandonner tout espoir de retour en France. Parce qu'ils se font l'écho des débats de leur communauté, et que les représentations du pouvoir royal qu'ils donnent sont chargées d'enjeux, les réactions des pasteurs nous intéressent particulièrement. En 1691, Jacques Abbadie estime que la souffrance subie justifie toute critique du pouvoir qui l'a infligée. Une quinzaine d'années plus tard, Jean-Armand Dubourdieu parle déjà du point de vue des huguenots qui s'établissent en Angleterre: il plaint la France, terre d'esclavage, et ne voit plus pourquoi les huguenots devraient y retourner. Son sermon sur 'le bon sujet' rappelle à ses coreligionnaires que leur souhait le plus important doit être le maintien de la monarchie protestante.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"61 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/026510610X12713438444710","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65819013","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 concubine enclosed in the harem of a despotic monarch, and the tragic sati, are among the most familiar figures of the women of the East. This article examines a manifestation which has received less attention: that of the female royalty about whom travellers claimed to have garnered privileged eye-witness testimony. The reports of traders, ecclesiastics, ambassadors, or mercenaries reflect the heterogeneous nature of French contacts with Asia and with different strata of diverse societies. Vivid manifestations of female royalty are depicted at various levels of power: virtuous warrior princesses from Persia, immoral Chinese queens, or the creators or supporters of factions within the intrigues attributed to eastern courts. Yet these women remain distanced, to varying extents, from the traveller. Isolated from sight, or far removed in space or in time, they are often represented in histoires or anecdotes of considerable moral or dramatic interest. In an East made recognisable through fictional strategies, they characterise the governance of Asia, while edifying or entertaining readers.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"74 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/026510610X12713438444756","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65818596","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 made little impact when first published, but is currently the subject of renewed interest in the context of women's studies, with recent translations into English, French, Italian, and Spanish. However the work's true importance is much greater than has been realised. Ménage included it, as he had always intended, in his monumental and definitive edition of Diogenes Laertius's Lives of the Philosophers (1692), the greatest known source of information about the (male) philosophers of antiquity. Ménage's Historia thus became a supplement, and corrective, to Diogenes Laertius, and was included with subsequent editions and translations of the irreplaceable Greek text. In this way, the reality of women's capacity for the highest intellectual achievement was incontrovertibly established, and women were integrated into the mainstream of the history of philosophy. An analysis of the frontispieces to the three volumes of Chauffepié's translation of Diogenes (1758) demonstrates how, thanks explicitly to Ménage's work, the role of women was now seen as crucial to modern intellectual life.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"45 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/026510610X12713438444675","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65818890","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}
