To call something ?topsy-turvy? in the sixteenth century is to label it as abnormal. The topos of the world upside down evokes a world in which everything is inside-out and out of bounds: fish live in trees, children rule over their parents, and rivers flow back to their source. The world upside down proves to be key in understanding how the social, political, and religious turmoil of sixteenth-century France was represented and conceptualised, and allows us to explore the dark side of the Renaissance by unpacking one of its most prevalent metaphors. 410 0$aFaux Titre$v426. 606 $aFrench literature$y16th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSymbolic inversion in literature 606 $aSymbolic inversion in art 606 $aLiterature and society$zFrance$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aSatire, French 606 $aArt$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aRenaissance$zFrance 607 $aFrance$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aFrance$xIntellectual life$y16th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSymbolic inversion in literature. 615 0$aSymbolic inversion in art. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aSatire, French. 615 0$aArt$xHistory. 615 0$aRenaissance 676 $a840.93003 700 $aRobert-Nicoud$b Vincent Corentin$f1987-$0998496 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493690103321 996 $aThe world upside-down in 16th century French literature and visual culture$92290489 997 $aUNINA
