Louis Marin views Utopia as the organization of space in a discourse that finds its expression in specific texts from More's onwards. He argues that More's text contains non-congruent spaces - internal gaps and fissures in the geography of Utopia unwittingly betrayed by the description of More's traveller - and that these point to places of argument awaiting an as-yet unformulated theory of society in an era of capitalism. It is here suggested that, even as Marin thus presents Utopia as organized space, his analysis is driven by time, primarily the historical time that produces Marx, whose social theory Marin projects backwards on to More's work. Marin's retro-projective approach, for all the remarkable insights it generates, leaves underexamined the question of how early modern utopianism may be said to have imagined space in historical time and, in so doing, emerged as a tradition of invention.
Louis Marin将乌托邦视为话语中的空间组织，从莫尔开始，乌托邦就在特定的文本中得到了表达。他认为，莫尔的文本包含了不一致的空间——莫尔的旅行者的描述无意中暴露了乌托邦地理的内部差距和裂缝——这些都指向了等待资本主义时代尚未形成的社会理论的争论点。这里有人认为，尽管马林将乌托邦呈现为有组织的空间，但他的分析是由时间驱动的，主要是产生马克思的历史时间，马林将马克思的社会理论追溯到莫尔的作品中。马林的复古投射方法，尽管它产生了所有引人注目的见解，但却让早期现代乌托邦主义如何在历史时间中想象空间，并在这样做的过程中成为一种发明传统的问题没有得到充分的检验。

This chapter analyses a set of Paris police documents from 1727–1738 that record infractions of the protectionist ban on wearing indiennes. These were popular colourful fabrics imported from the East, which were also imitated by European manufacturers. Enforcement of the multiple legislations passed in France during the long period of prohibition (1686–1759) was draconian and inequitable. Women, predominantly from lower and middle classes, were spied upon, named, shamed and fined. As with present day controversies over the hijab, women’s dress was a flashpoint for wider societal debates. The series of ordonnances issued by René Hérault, Lieutenant Général de Police, exhibit a dual performance of upholding and breaking the law, enacted through textual, visual and spatial strategies. As the scopic legal gaze is lured by the exotic and feminine, the subversive properties of indiennes present an opportunity for wider social change.

This article articulates the places of early modern poetry with contemporary eco-theories. Mobilising the connectivities of οικος rather than the separations of environment, the author traces ecological senses of place in the poetry of Du Bellay, Jacques Peletier, and Ronsard, and reclaims Renaissance humanism from posthumanist detractors. Humanist pastoral poetry manifests the sense of connection claimed as the purview of contemporary concepts such as naturecultures or transcorporeality. Renaissance place, as an ecological habit of thought, contrasts favourably with modern veneration of wilderness which separates human from environs. The conclusion suggests continuities between Renaissance humanism and our academic humanities inasmuch as they privilege relational, rather than acquisitive or extractive, value systems. The text is a modified version of the keynote address to the 2022 SEMFS Conference and contains references to some of the papers presented in the spirit of archiving that stimulating intellectual space.

This article argues that the reception of Augustinian ideas in Pascal and Nicole can be used to clarify what is distinctive in La Rochefoucauld's treatment of self-relations. La Rochefoucauld does not share the Augustinian dichotomy between self-love at the price of forgetting God and love of God at the price of self-contempt that is prominent in both Pascal and Nicole. Rather, La Rochefoucauld develops a conception of an attitude towards the self that could be described as self-acceptance. As he describes it, being open about one's character faults falls short of self-esteem, if self-esteem is understood as involving a positive evaluation of one's own character traits. However, it counterbalances these faults and can enhance the esteem in which we are held. And it offers a remedy for competing for social esteem which can be detrimental to our lives because the sincere person does not seek to be esteemed for qualities that are only pretended. At the same time, it overcomes an inflated self-image, thereby improving both social relations and the relation to the self.

Le Maître Chat ou Le Chat Botté met en scène une ascension sociale étonnante : sur une idée de son chat, un pauvre fils de meunier se fait passer pour marquis auprès du roi, qui, dupe des ruses de l’animal, le reconnaît comme tel et lui offre la main de sa fille. Souvent présenté comme un texte explicitement moqueur voire dénonciateur des valeurs de la société d’Ancien Régime, Le Chat Botté est pourtant un conte ambigu : sa morale loue l’industrie et le savoir-faire d’un héros dont le seul mérite est d’avoir hérité d’un chat aux multiples talents. La présente étude interroge cette ambiguïté, jusque-là inexpliquée, à travers l’analyse de certains passages clés où l’ironie de Perrault prête au conte un sens tout autre que celui qu’on lui attribue généralement. Curieusement, il semblerait que la vraie gagnante de l’histoire soit la monarchie absolutiste.

This article is primarily concerned with the Dindenault episode (chapters V-VIII) of François Rabelais’s Quart livre, which deals with economic and theatrical themes simultaneously. While previous studies have tackled these themes separately, I outline how they ought to be considered in tandem and, indeed, rely on one another for significance. I argue that in the Dindenault episode, Rabelais’s use of common theatrical structures and motifs serves as a stage upon which to mount socio-economic critique, constituting a performance of theatrical economics, in the context of a broader example of economic theatre. I then turn to one of the nineteenth-century afterlives of Rabelais’s texts – Théodore Labarre’s and Henri Trianon’s 1855 opera Pantagruel – claiming that the interdependence of the Dindenault scene’s economic and theatrical themes is retroactively confirmed by its move into one of its ‘downstream contexts’: the shepherd’s scandalous afterlife on the musical stage of Second Empire France.
本文主要关注弗朗索瓦·拉伯雷的《四章生活》中的Dindenault章节(第v - 8章)，该章节同时涉及经济和戏剧主题。虽然以前的研究分别处理了这些主题，但我概述了它们应该如何被串联起来考虑，并且实际上是相互依赖的意义。我认为，在Dindenault的情节中，拉伯雷使用了常见的戏剧结构和主题，作为一个舞台，在这个舞台上进行社会经济批评，在更广泛的经济戏剧例子的背景下，构成了戏剧经济学的表演。然后，我转向拉伯雷文本的一个19世纪的来生——thsamodore Labarre和Henri Trianon 1855年的歌剧Pantagruel——声称，Dindenault场景的经济和戏剧主题的相互依赖性，通过它进入其“下游语境”之一而回溯地得到证实:第二帝国法国音乐舞台上牧羊人的丑闻来生。
