Cette thèse documente, répertorie et analyse les relations entre les femmes auteures en France, en Italie, et entre Françaises et Italiennes, de 1770 à 1840, à partir de l’étude des correspondances et des ouvrages publiés de douze écrivaines (Anne-Marie de Beaufort d’Hautpoul, Sophie Gay, Félicité de Genlis, Marie-Émilie de Montanclos, Constance Pipelet Salm, Germaine de Staël, Teresa Bandettini, Elisabetta Caminer, Carolina Lattanzi, Diodata Saluzzo, Fortunata Sulgher Fantastici et Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi). Au cours d’une période caractérisée par le développement de l’imprimé, par l’importante participation féminine à la querelle des femmes, par le bouleversement politique international issu de la Révolution française et de l’époque napoléonienne, ainsi que par la présence affirmée des auteures, ces dernières font face à une réactivation des attaques contre l’autorat féminin. Dans ce contexte, les relations entre écrivaines illustrent le défi de « l’action commune » conçue dans une optique de défense d’une cause (celle des auteures) avant l’émergence du mouvement féministe. Les écrivaines étant souvent présentées soit comme « sœurs, » soit comme « rivales », notre étude démontre que la nature des relations féminines est infiniment plus complexe dans les faits. D’un côté, les relations entre femmes auteures témoignent d’une certaine cohésion au sein de la communauté : les contacts sont nombreux, celles-ci s’épaulent en temps de crise, construisent des généalogies littéraires féminines, et déconstruisent les discours portant sur la soi-disant « exceptionnalité » et la « rivalité » des femmes de lettres. De l’autre côté, d’importantes divisions traversent leurs réseaux, notamment liées à l’appartenance nationale, aux opinions politiques et au positionnement de chacune dans le milieu littéraire. Outre les divisions sociales et politiques, cette thèse illustre la difficulté éprouvée par les auteures à arrimer leurs intérêts individuels (promotion de leur propre carrière, identités multiples interférant avec l’appartenance de sexe/genre) aux intérêts collectifs (légitimer l’autorat féminin). Ainsi, les écrivaines reconnaissent l’importance de la communauté des femmes auteures, tout en étant confrontées au défi d’en maintenir la cohésion, à une époque où non seulement l’activité littéraire, mais également le contexte culturel et politique, sont en pleine transformation. / This thesis documents, catalogues, and analyses relationships between female authors in France and Italy, and between French women and Italian women, from 1770 to 1840. It results from a study of the correspondence and published works of twelve women authors (Anne-Marie de Beaufort d’Hautpoul, Sophie Gay, Félicité de Genlis, Marie-Émilie de Montanclos, Constance Pipelet Salm, Germaine de Staël, Teresa Bandettini, Elisabetta Caminer, Carolina Lattanzi, Diodata Saluzzo, Fortunata Sulgher Fantastici, and Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi) over the course of a period marked by important developments in print culture, the significant involvement of women in the querelle des femmes, and the increased presence of women authors. These transformations, together with the international political upheaval caused by the French Revolution, saw attacks on female authorship pursued with increased vigour. The relationships between women authors within such a context illustrate the challenges faced in implementing a “common action” aimed at defending a female cause (that of female authors) before the advent of the feminist movement. Often described as either “rivals” or “sisters”, this study demonstrates that the nature of relationships between women in this period was in fact far more complex. On the one hand, the community of female authors examined was marked by a certain degree of cohesion. These writers had wide-ranging networks of contacts, and could rely on each other for support in times of crisis. They constructed female literary genealogies and deconstructed the discourse used by others in reference to their community, particularly that relating to the “exceptionality” of and “rivalry” between women authors. On the other hand, significant differences also ran across the membership of these networks, notably in terms of nationality, political opinions, and the position each woman occupied within literary circles. Over and above these social and political divisions, this thesis illustrates the difficulties women faced in reconciling their individual interests (the advancement of their own careers, the divisive impact of their multiple identities with the cohesion of their sex/gender) with those of the collective (legitimizing female authorship). In short, this study examines the ways in which female authors recognized the importance of their community and faced the challenges of maintaining its cohesion, at a time when not only literary activity, but also the political and cultural context in which it was framed, were undergoing great transformation.

Les collaborations de Louise d’Épinay à la Correspondance littéraire (1755-1783) et sa correspondance avec Ferdinando Galiani (1769-1782) constituent deux corpus complémentaires pour comprendre les pratiques de sociabilité de cette auteure et pour mettre au jour leur interaction avec ses pratiques d’écriture. Ses critiques, ses dialogues et ses lettres assurent la cooptation d’une élite par le prolongement qu’ils offrent aux mécanismes de distinction propres à la société de cour et par leur circulation en marge de la sphère mondaine. L’analyse des représentations de soi et du groupe dans ces ensembles permet d’approcher l’imaginaire social qui leur donne sens et qui explique la diffusion restreinte de ces textes. Cette étude, qui s’appuie sur des concepts issus de la sociologie, offre la possibilité d’un décloisonnement de la critique de la production de Louise d’Épinay tout en proposant une nouvelle approche de celle des femmes associées aux salons des Lumières. / Louise d’Épinay’s contributions to the Correspondance littéraire (1755-1783) and her correspondence with Ferdinando Galiani (1769-1782) constitute two complementary corpora which allow us to understand this author’s practices of sociability and to reveal their interaction with her writing. Her critical work, her dialogues and her letters contribute to the co-opting of a social elite, via their circulation in the margins of good society and their extension of court society’s mechanisms of distinction. The analysis of self-representations and group-representations in these writings allow us to better understand the social representations that give them meaning and that explain their restricted circulation. This thesis, based on sociological concepts, proposes a renewal of Louise d’Épinay’s studies, and those of the women associated with Enlightenment salons. / Thèse réalisée en cotutelle avec l'Université Paris IV-Sorbonne.

This thesis examines the theory of diplomacy in the formative phase of the European states-system. From the viewpoint of the discourse on the 'ideal ambassador', it explores early modern diplomacy as cultural history encompassing ideas, discourses, perceptions and 'codes'. The scope of study is the century following the Peace of Westphalia (1648), and three states and regions (France, Britain, the Holy Roman Empire) serve as case studies for a comparative approach of diplomatic theory and practice. In five parts, the adaptation of the theory and practice of diplomacy to the new demands of international relations after 1648 are considered. The first section sets the stage by illustrating that the mid-seventeenth century was regarded as a turning point in the practice of diplomacy. Part II examines diplomatic theory as a particular 'language' in its intellectual and socio-professional contexts. While published treatises on the 'ideal ambassador' build the core of this study, related genres of international law theory, ceremonial theory and political and state science are also taken into account. From the viewpoint of this diplomatic theory, the following section examines the ways in which the instruments and practices of diplomacy were aligned to the new framework. These ranged from changes in the structural framework of diplomacy to the evolution of norms and procedures of negotiation, international law and ceremonial. Part IV reconsiders the issue of 'professionalism' in diplomatic theory with regard to the preparation and training of diplomats. Special attention is given to proposals for diplomatic 'academies', which are for the first time examined in comparison. Finally, section V recasts the findings of this thesis in a comparative perspective. It underlines that, with the emergence of a states-system, the techniques of diplomacy became formalised and uniform, constituting a common European diplomatic practice. Against the background of the different regional and structural conditions, the alleged model role of France in the evolution of diplomatic theory and practice is re-evaluated.

During the long eighteenth century, married women in England were subject to the rules of coverture, which denied them a legal identity independent of their husbands and severely curtailed their acquisition, possession and disposition of property. There is a consensus among historians that married women circumvented the restrictions of coverture both in their daily lives and by use of the legal mechanism of the separate estate. This study reviews contemporary legal and social attitudes towards women’s property rights in marriage to examine the extent to which married women had economic agency under coverture. Through a review of reported cases, treatises on the law of property, and a contemporary fictional representation of pin-money, I assess the foundations justifying the law of coverture, and the challenges presented to coverture by the separate estate. I argue that there is a distinction between the theory and practice of the separate estate; the separate estate must be understood as a type of property set aside for a special purpose rather than a type of property separated from a husband’s control. More precisely, the existence of the separate estate generally, and pin-money in particular, did little to advance married women’s economic agency. / Graduate

Resumo: Por meio dessa tese se propõe a análise do conteúdo ideológico expresso por meio das unidades lexicais do vocabulário do primeiro jornal periódico impresso em língua portuguesa, a Gazeta de Lisboa, num corpus composto por 99 edições dessa publicação, entre 1715 e 1810. Ela também pretende destacar as estratégias linguísticas e discursivas que são concebidas socialmente, e pelas quais os usuários de uma língua explicitam as suas opiniões e visões de mundo partilhadas por meio do léxico. Outro objetivo dessa pesquisa é mostrar a importância da solidariedade entre duas áreas distintas, a lexicologia e a análise do discurso, complementares e necessárias para os estudos sobre os sentidos dos enunciados. Propostas de estudos lexicais em perspectiva discursiva vêm, aos poucos, ganhando espaço nos estudos linguísticos, motivadas pela própria concepção teórica da Lexicologia e também pela prática lexicográfica, que privilegiam a consideração dos contextos e dos usos das unidades lexicais. Realiza-se uma pesquisa vinculada à teoria linguística da Lexicologia, desenvolvida em perspectiva discursiva, baseada em um modelo dialógico da enunciação, que considera que as palavras carregam consigo a memória de usos anteriores e, portanto, têm uma dimensão intertextual que determina seu emprego de acordo com as circunstâncias enunciativas. Partese do ponto de vista que o dialogismo está inscrito nas palavras, e a escolha das unidades da língua usadas na enunciação é negociada na interação entre a realidade e o sentido, que é construído por meio da circulação de informações na sociedade. Numa primeira etapa, foi feita uma ampla pesquisa histórica sobre a política e a sociedade portuguesa do século XVIII, e também sobre o surgimento dos primeiros jornais periódicos impressos na Europa. Em seguida, foram realizados estudos quantitativos...

It also aims to highlight the linguistic and discursive strategies that are designed socially, and by which users of a language formulate their opinions and points of view through the lexicon. Another objective of this research is to demonstrate the importance of the solidarity between two distinct areas, lexicology and discourse analysis, which are complementary and necessary for studies on the meanings of the utterances. Proposals for lexical studies in discursive perspective have gradually gaining ground in linguistic studies, motivated by the theoretical conception of lexicology and lexicography, which favor the consideration of the contexts and the uses of lexical units. This study is linked to the linguistic theory of lexicology, developed in a discursive perspective, based on a dialogical model of enunciation, which believes that words carry the memory of past use and therefore have an intertextual dimension that determines their use according to the circumstances of utterance. We start from the standpoint that dialogism is recorded in words, and the choice of language units used in the utterances is made on the basis of the interaction between reality and sense, which is built by the circulation of information in society. As a first step, we conducted a broad historical research on the Portuguese politics and society in eighteenth-century, and about the emergence of the first printed newspapers in Europe. Next, quantitative studies were performed on the corpus data, which indicated the preferential issue of the journal, the military policy. From this information and the reading of the texts, 22 lexical units employed...

Democracy was no more than a marginal force during the eighteenth century, unanimously denounced as a chimerical form of government unfit for passionate human beings living in commercial societies. Placed in this context this thesis studies the concept of ‘representative democracy' during the French Revolution, particularly under the Directory (1795–1799). At the time the term was an oxymoron. It was a neologism strategically coined by the democrats at a time when ‘representative government' and ‘democracy' were understood to be diametrically opposed to each other. In this thesis the democrats' political thought is simultaneously placed in several contexts. One is the rapidly changing political, economic and international circumstances of the French First Republic at war. Another is the anxiety about democratic decline emanating from the long-established intellectual traditions that regarded the history of Greece and Rome as proof that democracy and popular government inevitably led to anarchy, despotism and military government. Due to this anxiety the ruling republicans' answer during the Directory to the predicament—how to avoid the return of the Terror, win the war, and stabilize the Republic without inviting military government—was crystalized in the notion of ‘representative government', which defined a modern republic based on a firm rejection of ‘democratic' politics. Condorcet is important at this juncture because he directly challenged the given notions of his own period (such as that democracy inevitably fosters military government). Building on this context of debate, the arguments for democracy put forth by Antonelle, Chaussard, Français de Nantes and others are analysed. These democrats devised plans to steer France and Europe to what they regarded as the correct way of genuinely ending the Revolution: the democratic republic. The findings of this thesis elucidate the elements of continuity and those of rupture between the Enlightenment and the French Revolution.

This thesis examines the role of national defence in British parliamentary politics between 1794 and 1812. It suggests that previous analyses of the late eighteenth-century political milieu insufficiently explore the impact of war on the structure of the state. Work by J.E. Cookson, Linda Colley, J.C.D. Clark, and Paul Langford depicts a decentralised state that had little direct involvement in developing a popular “British” patriotism. Here I argue that the threat of a potential French invasion during the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France provoked a drive for centralisation. Nearly all the defence measures enacted during the period gave the government a much greater degree of control over British manpower and resources. The readiness of successive governments to involve large sections of the nation in the war effort through military service, financial contributions, and appeals to the British “spirit”, resulted in a much more inclusive sense of citizenship in which questions of national participation and political franchise were unlinked. National identity was also affected, and the focus on military defence of the British Isles influenced political attitudes towards the regular army. By 1810, however, the nation was disillusioned by the lengthy struggle with France. The result of lingering political weakness was that attention shifted from national defence onto domestic corruption and venality. The aftermath of the Irish Act of Union, too, demonstrated the limits of attempts to centralise the policy of the whole United Kingdom. Significantly, however, the debates over the relationship between the centre and the localities in the 1830s and 1840s, and the response to a new French invasion threat in the 1850s and 1860s, revived themes addressed during the 1790s and 1800s. The political reaction to the invasion threats between 1794 and 1812 ultimately had more in common with a Victorian state bureaucracy than an eighteenth-century ancien régime.

Analisamos as expedições científicas em três momentos determinantes na dinâmica das viagens: a elaboração e preparação dos viajantes; a execução das expedições nas colônias; e o retorno à metrópole. A preparação das viagens compreendeu algumas atividades, como a elaboração de instruções e a execução de viagens preparatórias no Reino, essenciais para o direcionamento dos viajantes nas colônias. Esta fase ocorreu em instituições portuguesas, como o Jardim Botânico da Ajuda, a Universidade de Coimbra e a Academia de Ciências de Lisboa. Outras foram completamente planejadas na colônia, como é o caso da Expedição Botânica comandada por Fr. José Mariano da Conceição Veloso no Rio de Janeiro. Nas pesquisas, constatamos uma diferenciação entre as viagens científicas concebidas e executadas durante as administrações dos Ministros da Marinha e Negócios Ultramarinos, Martinho de Melo e Castro (1777-1795) e D. Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho (1796-1802). Elaboramos um quadro geral das viagens divididas pelas administrações indicadas, ressaltando as áreas geográficas exploradas, os produtos naturais pesquisados, a composição técnico-científica, a correspondência durante as viagens, o comando científico realizado por naturalistas como Júlio Mattiazzi, Domingos Vandelli, Félix de A. Brotero e Fr. Veloso. Para traçar este quadro utilizamos a documentação textual e imagética resultante das viagens, como instruções, correspondências, roteiros, mapas, desenhos, memórias e diários. As viagens foram analisadas em suas particularidades e generalidades, considerando-se a complementaridade entre a metrópole e as colônias, e as interações entre as diversas regiões coloniais. Subdividimos as áreas geográficas percorridas pelos viajantes em relação à dinâmica do espaço colonial. Analisamos as questões hidrográficas do espaço oceânico ressaltando as travessias marítimas dos viajantes e as condições de navegação fluvial da Viagem Filosófica de Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira. As investigações terrestres dos naturalistas, principalmente as mineralógicas, foram analisadas em cada região colonial: Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Bahia, colônias africanas (Angola e Moçambique) e Pernambuco. Após a finalização das viagens alguns dos naturalistas e artistas viajantes trabalharam em Portugal nas atividades de determinação e catalogação sistemática das amostras dos três Reinos da Natureza encontrados nas colônias e na incorporação dos dados em obras científicas. Este esforço fazia parte do projeto de Vandelli de produção de uma História Natural das Colônias, dirigido por Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira no Jardim Botânico da Ajuda, que não chegou a ser concluído, apesar de terem sido preparadas várias chapas em metal para as gravuras. Mas algumas das obras dos viajantes foram publicadas por Fr. Veloso na Tipografia do Arco do Cego, com o intuito de fomentar o desenvolvimento econômico Português / Abstract: is work refers to the survey and analysis of Portuguese scientific expeditions with departure to the Lusitanian Empire Colonies between 1755 and 1808. We have analyzed the scientific expeditions in three determinant moments in the dynamics of those travels: planning and preparation of travelers, performance of the expeditions in the colonies, and return to Portugal. The preparation of the travels has comprised some activities, such as instructions¿ elaboration and execution of preparatory travels in the Reign, which were essential to the travelers¿ directives in the Colonies. That stage has been carried out in Portuguese institutions, such as Botanic Garden of Ajuda, Coimbra University, and Science Academy of Lisbon. Other activities have been totally planned in the Colony, as it is the case for the Botanic Expedition lead by Fr. José Mariano da Conceição Veloso, in Rio de Janeiro. In our research, we have noticed a different approach between the scientific travels conceived and executed under the management of two Ministers, Navy Minister and Oversea Trade Minister, Martinho de Melo e Castro (1777-1795) and D. Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho (1796-1802). We have then elaborated a general picture of the travels divided by the administrations indicated, highlighting the explored geographic areas, the investigated natural products, the techno-scientific composition, the letters exchanged during the travels, and the scientific leadership practiced by naturalists such as Júlio Mattiazi, Domingos Vandelli, Félix de A. Brotero, and Fr. Veloso. To assemble that picture, we have used documents with texts and images resultant from the travels, such as instructions, letters, rode-maps, maps, drawings, memories, and diaries. The travels have been analyzed under their specific and general aspects, by considering the complementarities between the Reign and the Colonies and the interactions between the diverse colonial regions. We have subdivided the geographic areas crossed by the travelers in terms of the dynamics of the colonial space. We have analyzed the hydrographic aspects of the oceanic space, emphasizing the maritime voyages and the fluvial navigation conditions for the Philosophical Travel of Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira. The terrestrial investigations carried out by the naturalists, mainly the mineralogical ones, have been analyzed at each colonial region: Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Bahia, African Colonies (Angola and Moçambique), and Pernambuco. After the end of the travels, some naturalists and artists worked in Portugal to determine and systematically catalogue the samples of Three Nature Reigns collected in the Colonies, and to incorporate that data in scientific work. Such effort was part of Vandelli¿s project of producing a Natural History of the Colonies, supervised by Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira in the Botanic Garden of Ajuda, which has not been concluded, despite of the preparation of many metal plates for the illustrations. However, Fr. Veloso has published some work of the travelers, in the Arco do Cego Typography, to promote the Portuguese economic development / Doutorado / Educação Aplicada as Geociencias / Doutor em Ciências

This thesis examines the ideas which underpinned early nineteenth century Toryism and their development in the late eighteenth century. It argues that a distinct, coherent, refined Tory identity emerged from the Tory splits between 1827 and 1830. This was preceded by a process of renegotiation and consolidation in Tory ideology and identity from 1760 onwards. The period between the accession of George III, in 1760, and the passage of the First Reform Act, in 1832, witnessed consistent and sustained crises regarding the constitution established in Church and state. The outbreak of revolutions in America and France reinvigorated debates regarding the nature and location of political sovereignty as well as the relationship between the crown and parliament. Lengthy wars against each nation were followed by severe economic depressions, the apparent proliferation of domestic political radicalism, and intermittent, but determined, demands for parliamentary reform. In addition, there were persistent attempts to alter the religious basis of the constitution to accommodate both Protestant pluralism and, from 1801, predominantly Catholic Ireland. This thesis contends that the debates surrounding these issues contributed to the rehabilitation and renegotiation of late-seventeenth-century and early-eighteenth-century Tory ideas. It also contends that, in moments of crisis and reaction, old Toryism converged with the conservative elements of an increasingly fractured Whig tradition in defence of the constitutional status quo. This convergence, apparent in the opening decades of George III’s reign, was consolidated in the context of the French Revolution. Consequently, after 1812, a broad, but loose, ideological consensus emerged, labelled as Tory, underpinned by anti-populism, commitment to the preservation of Christian orthodoxy, and the establishment of the Church of England. However, below this broad ideological umbrella, differences persisted which created tensions, contributing to the divisions between 1827 and 1830, and, through them, the refinement of Tory identity.
