Book of the Body Politic
The Past as Political Terrain: How National Leaders Navigate Memories of 9/11
Political leaders construct meanings for current events in support of their existing policy goals, but the constructed meanings do not change when policy goals change. Consequently, the established narrative of the past becomes part of the policymaking terrain, justifying existing policies and creating criteria for policy success. It must be navigated by leaders seeking to reach their policy objectives. References made by U.S. and Israeli politic…
The Gallic Singularity
The popular narrative that the French relationship between the sexes is more emotionally rewarding than its American counterpart has entered into scholarly discourse over the past decades. Promoted by several well-known French feminist scholars, the narrative locates the particularity of the French relationship in its paradoxical structure: women are both equal and not equal to men. Sexual difference lies in the particular, which is subordinate t…
Marie of France, Countess of Champagne, 1145–1198
Today, we associate the Countess Marie of Champagne first and foremost with her mother, twice queen and renowned literary patron, Eleanor of Aquitaine. The association is all the stronger because romancier Chrétien de Troyes frequented Marie’s court and even mentions her as the imaginative force behind the Knight of the Cart, in which Lancelot and Guinevere appear as lovers for the first time. In the work’s prologue, Chrétien acknowledges that th…

Christine de Pizan
Christine de Pizan and the Fight for France
In Christine de Pizan and the Fight for France , Tracy Adams offers a reevaluation of Christine de Pizan’s literary engagement with contemporary politics. Adams locates Christine’s works within a detailed narrative of the complex history of the dispute between the Burgundians and the Armagnacs, the two largest political factions in fifteenth-century France. Contrary to what many scholars have long believed, Christine consistently supported the Ar…

Isabeau de Bavière, le don et la politique de mécénat
In contrast with the great princes of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century like Philip of Burgundy and Jean of Berry who are renowned as patrons of the arts, Queen of France Isabeau of Bavaria has often been dismissed as a frivolous and avaricious collector of jewels. This essay suggests that, far from being motivated by greed, Isabeau’s patronage of gold work (orfevrerie) must be regarded as above all political. Forced by the intermit…
Faus Semblant and the Psychology of Clerical Masculinity
Boasting that he hides his greed beneath his pious Franciscan habiz, Faus Semblant of Jean de Meun's Roman de la Rose is an unappealing character. Yet his emphasis upon his habiz makes him an interesting figure for the study of the emotions. The trope of hiding unsavory impulses beneath habiz suggests that social scripts can be resisted and replaced with new ones. Jean's Rose, this essay proposes, traces the psyche of an apprentice cleric as he u…

The Life and Afterlife of Isabeau of Bavaria
Asserting that there is no historical support for this posthumous reputation, Tracy Adams returns Isabeau to her rightful place in history.
The political significance of Christine de Pizan's third estate in the Livre du corps de policie
Although the general historical context of Christine de Pizan’s Livre du corps de policie (LCP), the Orleanist-Burgundian feud occasioned by the periodic insanity of King Charles VI, has long been recognised, the precise argument that the author wages through her unique configuration of the third part of the body politic has not been explored. This essay reads the LCP as an intervention into the escalating struggle for power between Charles VI’s …
Christine de Pizan, Isabeau of Bavaria, and Female Regency
What motivated Christine de Pizan's Book of the City of Ladies? This essay argues that the poet's defenses of women were intended to train readers how to envisage the role of Queen Isabeau of Bavaria, who presided over the royal council when her husband, King Charles VI, suffered bouts of madness. Christine's examples of women who ruled in the name of their husbands, sons, and fathers and her references to the ultimate coregent, the Virgin Mary, …
Performing the Medieval Art of Love: Medieval Theories of the Emotions and the Social Logic of the Roman de la Rose of Guillaume de Lorris
Medieval artes amatoriae seem to teach how to simulate love through words and gestures. This essay suggests that, like other medieval treatises on the emotions, medieval artes amatoriae are grounded in the assumption that by acting out the gestures and words associated with an emotion, one begins to experience it. Like their prototype, Ovid's Ars amatoria, these works are interested in creating the emotion of love in the seducer, the one who perf…

The Cunningly Intelligent Characters of BNffr 19152
The fabliau anthology manuscript 19152 of the Bibliothèque Nationale's fonds français startles the modern reader with its disconcerting juxtapositions of works ranging from the religious to the obscene.1 Like other fabliau anthologies, the late thirteenth- or early fourteenth-century BNffr 19152 has been viewed as a miscellany manifesting no obvious organizing logic.2 In his introduction to the reproduction of this manuscript, Edmond Faral sugges…

Phonological working memory in very young children
By Gathercole, Susan E.; Adams, Anne-Marie Developmental Psychology. Vol 29(4), Jul 1993, 770-778. Abstract This study was designed to establish whether phonological working memory skills could be assessed in children below 4 yrs of age. A group of 2- and 3-yr-old children were tested on 3 phonological memory measures (digit span, nonword repetition, and word repetition) and were also given tasks that tapped other cognitive skills. Scores on the …
Separation of State and Local Revenues
The history of American state finance in the last thirty years reveals two major movements, one against excessive uniformity, the other against excessive decentralization. It has been found on the one hand that a uniform rate of taxation cannot successfully be applied to all forms of property, and we have the irresistible movement for classification of taxes. It has been found on the other hand that inter-community enterprises or property cannot …
