Though this took place at different rates, in different ways, and with varying intensity. Prompted by recent works examining the dynamics of communal living and social regulations at the time of the Enlightenment, this volume explores the transformations of urban sociability through the prism of police reform; not through direct convergences, but in the articulation of communal issues and the possible convergence or tensions between the processes that are more closely linked than previously thought. Policing and Urban Society in Eighteenth-Century Paris connects several different expressions of sociability with the practices of police administration to investigate the stakes, innovations, and relationships that disrupted and moulded the institutional and social frameworks of Enlightenment Paris.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: Pascal Bastien (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesBook Series: Oxford University Studies in the EnlightenmentAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
