Sommario/riassunto |
|
La noblesse telle qu'elle apparaît dans cet ouvrage ressemble peu à celle des manuels d'histoire qui évoquent la société française de 1789. À l'époque de la Renaissance et du Baroque, la noblesse est une élite sociale, nombreuse, ouverte, dynamique et qui s'anoblit généralement toute seule. Plus proche des trois mousquetaires que des marquis poudrés du temps de Louis XVI, composée majoritairement de gentilshommes campagnards complètement insérés dans le monde villageois ou de combattants courant d'une guerre à l'autre, cette noblesse est batailleuse et se révolte facilement contre toute autorité, au nom d'un idéal de liberté, d'honneur, d'amitié et de stoïcisme. Son imaginaire, exploré avec des méthodes anthropologiques, grâce aux littératures qu'elle écrivait et qu'elle lisait, est rempli de rêves fous et |

d'utopies, de bergers et de pastorales, d'amours heureux et contrariés, de combats et de duels. Ce système de représentation conditionnait ses choix, ses engagements, ses révoltes et ses frondes. Ce livre rassemble des articles dispersés, voire introuvables, qui ont contribué au renouvellement de l'histoire de la noblesse des XVIe et XVIIe siècles. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The City at Stake tells the dramatic story of how the nation's second-largest city completed a major reform of its government in the face of a deeply threatening movement for secession by the San Fernando Valley. How did Los Angeles, a diverse city with an image of unstructured politics and fragmented government, find a way to unify itself around a controversial set of reforms? Los Angeles government nearly collapsed in political bickering over charter reform, which generated the remarkable phenomenon of two competing charter reform commissions. Out of this nearly impossible tangle, reformers managed to knit a new city charter that greatly expanded institutions for citizen participation and addressed long-standing weaknesses in the role of the mayor. The new charter, pursued by a Republican mayor, won its greatest support from liberal whites who had long favored reform measures. Written by an urban scholar who played a key role in the charter reform process, the book offers both a theoretical perspective on the process of institutional reform in an age of diversity, and a firsthand, inside-the-box look at how major reform works. The new afterword by the author analyzes the 2005 election of Los Angeles's first modern Latino mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, a milestone in the development of urban reform coalitions in an age of immigration and ethnic diversity. |
