Some essays focus on the sacralization of the king's body through a gendered textual and visual rhetoric. Others show how the monarchy mastered subjects' minds by disciplining the body through dance, music, drama, art, and social rituals. The last essays in the volume focus on the unmaking of the king's body and the substitution of a new, republican body. Throughout, the authors explore how race and gender shaped the body politic under the Bourbons and during the Revolution. This compelling study expands our conception of state power and demonstrates that seemingly apolitical activities like the performing arts, dress and ritual, contribute to the state's hegemony. From the Royal to the Republican Body will be an essential resource for students and scholars of history, literature, music, dance and performance studies, gender studies, art history, and political theory. 606 $aHuman body$xSymbolic aspects$zFrance 606 $aSymbolism in politics$zFrance 606 $aDespotism$zFrance 607 $aFrance$xCivilization$xPolitical aspects 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yBourbons, 1589-1789 607 $aFrance$xCourt and courtiers$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aHuman body$xSymbolic aspects 615 0$aSymbolism in politics 615 0$aDespotism 676 $a944/.033 702 $aMelzer$b Sara E.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNorberg$b Kathryn$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495969803321 996 $aFrom the royal to the republican body$92833314 997 $aUNINA
